millions of dollars for shippers. It is a great .conven-
ience, for the railroads take full responsibility from
door to door.
Other noteworthy improvements in railroad freight
service include faster schedules.
Railroad passenger service is also
ized. Western railroads pioneered in seducing fares
to the lowest point in history, with substantial reducttons
on round trip tickets. Then they provided air-condi-
honed cars with temperature and humidity control. If
you haven't yet traveled in a cool, clean, healthful air-
—conditioned car do so on your next trip—a revelation
in luxury—but costs nothing extra.

Th* American embassy at Madrid
issued another of its many warnings
to United States citizens to leave, or
remain on their own responaibilsty.
Hull, in his statement on the Kane
incident, emphasized that it is “well
known in every quarter that the sole
purpose of the presence of American
naval vessels about the Spanish coast
is to afford facilities for the removal
of American nationals from Spain."
Reiterating America's hands-off pol-
icy toward the Spanish civil war, he
said “ft to not conceivable that either
a Spanish government plane or an in-
surgent plane would knowingly make ,
attack upon an American naval ves- ,
sel”. "
While Hull brought the Kane In-
cident to the attention of the Madrid
government through the American em-
bassy, the request to Franco was made
informally through the American con-
sul at Seville. By this informal pro- |
cedure officials indicated, the United

judge finally mstructed the jury
that: “If Mr. Higgins is guilty he
should be punished, but,” clearing
his throat, “on the other hand, de-

Too, quality of cotton has suffered

out. Commercialized ginning brought
about seed mixing, better communica-

seed the better it would be.

his boss, who occupied the prison-
er‘s bench, “Move over. I want to
hit this Mr. Hawkins right between

As Higgins smilingly obeyed, a
pistol cracked. It was not Hawkins
who fell, however, but the man who
had interrupted him. As the other
Higgins supporter whirled in sur-
prize, the gun cracked again and he
also fell forward on his face.
“I thought them boys was lackin’
in dignity for a court of law,” re-
marked Sam McGee as he stepped
nonchalantly into the saloon. “I
can’t understand men that’s got so
little respect for law an’ order.
Judge, proceed with the trial.” He
winked covertly at Jei.
“As Judge and Coroner, both, of
Kimble County, I find these worth-
less skunks come tk their untimely
end through their oyn willful negli-
gence.” orated Abercrombie after
heaving a deep sigh of relief. “They
were a little bit slow on the draw.
Now, gentlemen of the jury, have
you reached a verdict?”
“Guilty as ...” began the foreman,
leaping to his feet. The rest of the
sentence was drowned in a barat
of wild, cheering as spectators to
this strange trial let loose their en-
thusiasm. Knowing he was licked at
last, Higgins yawned mightily and
held out his wrists to the sheriff
for the handcuffs which were await-
ing him.
“I sentence Jeff Higgins to a term
of twenty-five years at hard labor at
Huntsville! Court is closed!” the
Judge nearly whooped in his relief.
Several hours later Jeff and Sam
were lounging against the long bar
of that same Eldorado Saloon. The
place was crowded with townspeo-
ple celebrating the passing of the
incubus which had sucked them
dry tor years.
“I want you to do something foi
me,” remarked Jeff as he gulpec
his third drink.
“I’m listenin',” grinned his pal.
“It’s all off, Sam," Jeff resumed
after a long pause. “You go youi
