Nelson King settled down heavily in a kitchen chair to pon der over what he just had done. He hadn’t Intended to summon young Don Baldwin. Instead he’d planned to visit his neighbor, tell him he thought it best that he, Don, did not see his daughter any more. The Bible beside him, however, had turned his hasty fatherly de cision aside. Comfortable in the chair. Nel son King listened to the steady roar of the^ nearby creek. Then, taNriM T-fTtlr vfcat he had to - f ^ " * ceo, no rcrrx xnc ntmcrc. Poor Janet—what a crisis to her life the flood had brought! Did she believe Don a coward— or had but one freak and uncon trollable fear in the man been unearthed? Before her very eyes, Don Bald win had. indeed, presented a pa thetic figure that morning. Three men had been nearby when the little Gleason child had fallen into the rain-swollen stream —Sam Gleason, the father. Don and Mr. King himself. Into the cold reddish water the alight form had disappeared, to bob up again and drift with the swift current. Desperately the men had raced along the bank. Hearing the shouting, Janet had hurried from the house. With mixed dread and pride she had seen Don Baldwin move out on the swaying trunk of a tree, fall en into the stream. The child was drifting near and Don had but to reach forth a hand to grasp the sodden form. Cringing, he had turned and Aung his arms about the reassur ing body of the tree. Past his abject form Gleason had plunged to make the rescue. Later in the day. Nelson King had gone to The Book for comfort. “Judge not and ye shall not be judged; condemn not and ye shall not be condemned.” he had read The telephone call had followed. He was in his little farmhouse office that night when the young man arrived. Tall, erect and clean looking, Don looked almost defiant as he shook hands with the older man. Nelson King saw his daughter then, hovering uncertainly in the kitchen. And in her eyes her fa ther could see the same strange defiance. “Janet,” he asked, "will you do something for me? Go to the poul try house and get that account book of mine. Take a flashlight— the power is stiff off. you know. No, sit still, Don—it’s only a step or two to the rear of the house.” The girl had been gone but a short time when the men heard first the deep-throated roar of a farm animal—then a cry from Janet. “Good heavens!” cried Nelson King—” the bull must be loose!” Mr. King saw * Baldwin racing toward the sound of Janet’s voice. The bull roared menacingly, yet Don did not slacken his speed, un armed though he was The voice of the middle-aged farmer, strangely calm, roared a command “Don—you and Janet get back here at once! I’ve the dog and a club—we’ll take care of the bull. Take Janet into the house!” The older man waited until they were gone, then the rays of his flashlight played on the dark form of the pawing bull All was well. The two short and powerful ropes by which the bull was confined to a huge tree had held, as he knew they would. On the damp ground Nelson King sank gratefully to his knees. The words he spoke were ad dressed to the faithful farm dog. but he hoped that God, too. was listening. “Rex.” said he, “it was a risk I had to take. But it worked—and you and I have reopened the door of faith for two fine young people. Now there is no distrust—no fear of fear itself.” A SLING FULL OF PULPWOOD being put into position for loading on railroad flat cars for transportation to the North Charleston Mill of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co.

The woodyard, located one and one-half miles south of Prosperity across the road from Nichols' Store, has been leased to H. M. Hentz and Son and will be ope rated by them. Lyon Fellers, form er president of the Newberry County Farm Bureau is manager of the yard. The new yard will give New berry county its first really con venient home market for pulp- wood. This yard, like a number of others throughout the state will ship pulpwood to the North Char leston plant of the West Virginia company. The installation, covering ap proximately three acres, has been equipped with the latest measur ing and wood handling devices and equipment. Space on the yard has been provided to stock-pile 2,000 to. 2,500 cords of wood. A railroad spur of the Southern has been placed on the premises and 10 cars may be loaded without dif ficulty. Scaling is done near the en trance to the yard. A building has been erected for this purpose. When a truckload of pulpwood is brought to the yard, an experi enced scaler takes the measure ments and figures the amount due the owner for his wood. The truck is driven from the scaling house onto the yard. Here a giant Hyster crane picks up the whole load in one lift and after the Joad is band ed with steel bands and marked, it is neatly stacked for storage and later to be transferred to rail cars for transportation to the mill. H. M. Hentz said last week that the yard is not in full operation yet, but would soon be. The yard is open each Monday through Fri day. He said provisions have also been made to pay for pulpwood on the spot if desired, otherwise set tlement would be made each week end for claims. In addition to the establishment of the woodyard in the county West Virginia Pulp and Paper company offers free forestry ad vice and marketing service. For a number of years the company has made pine seedlings available. The next season they will make 3,000,000 available to various organizations. They will be distributed locally through the new pulp yard. Of the 3,000,000, two million will go to farmers and one-half million to 4-H boys and girls through county agents. Another one-half million will be shared by Future Farmers of America and NFA ? members through the Vocational Agricul ture department of the state De partment of Education. An official of West Virginia stated that at present the company is paying $9,000,000 per year for pulpwood. Mr. Hentz said he ex pects to buy $280,000 worth of pulp at the local yard during the next 12 months. Mr. Hentz is not new to the pulpwood business by any means. He has been an agent for West Virginia Pulp and Paper company since the mill was established in Charleston in 1937. Prosperity News MRS. B. T.
