4 THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1956 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE MONEY CHANGER’S MISTAKE By D. L. Alexander \ T ILL you come into the of- VV firp a moment. Miss fice French?" Susie French looked up to see Mr. Carroll, manager of the de partment store in his office door way. "Yes, sir," she answered. “I want to ask a favor of you." he began, when she entered the office. "This has been a very busy day for the store, and lots of goods have been sold. "We have considerable cash on hand. In fact, * too much to carry in the safe tonight. I don’t like to risk leaving it in the store, espe cially after all the robbing that has been going on in the neigh borhood." "What else can you do?” she asked, wondering. “I have made up two packages of it, and would like to entrust one of them in your safe keeping over night. I’ll take the other with me." "I don’t like to take the respon sibility," she objected. He watched her intently as she turned the proposition over in her mind. "Very well," she said at last. "But I’ll not be responsible if it is lost." He rubbed his hands together and beamed at her. "That’s a good girl. I knew I could count on you." "Good morning. Miss French," he greeted her the next morning as she returned the package to him. "Has everything gone all right with you?" "Yes, indeed, Mr. Carroll. I was a bit frightened having that money with me." "Have a chair, Miss French. But first, would you please call Miss Avery?" He pretended to be busy with some papers when Miss Avery entered. "Please be seated," he invited. It was the first time she had ever been in the manager’s office, and she looked about nervously. She sat down and focussed her attention on him. The door opened quietly, and a man stepped in and leaned against the casing. In checking cur receipts,” Mr. Carroll began, "we’ve noticed a peculiar thing. Our cash registers have been flooded lately with coun terfeit one dollar bills. They are d good imitation, but couldn’t get past the bank." He leaned back and cleared his throat. "I called Mr. Carrington of the FBI,” he pointed to the man at the door. He found the bogus money appeared in every cash register except that which you two have access to. Your register showed a surprising amount of hard cash. One of you has been passing the bad money by exchang ing it with the other clerks for change. "We didn’t know which one to suspect. We made up two pack ages of money, each containing some large bills and a number of marked one dollar bills. I gave each of you a package to take home with you last night for safe keeping.” Miss Avery had started up from her chair, but sank back into it with a sob, and covered her face with her hands. Three pairs of accusing eyes rested on her face. Miss Avery uncovered her white face and sprang to her feet. She cast a wild, hopeless look about, and screamed: "It’s a lie." "No, it isn’t," Mr. Carroll con tended. “Mr. Carrington followed each of you home from the store. Miss French went directly home, but you stopped at a tobacco store and exchanged the genuine bills for the bogus money." Mr. Carrington left the doorway and stepped nearer the accused woman. "The tobacco store was raided during the night from the information I had. The owner was arresfed and placed in jail. A press and a large quantity of spurious money was found in the base ment.” He looked at Mr. Carroll, who nodded. "Come on, let’s go now." •JOE BEAVER ** By Ed Nofziger C /-q • CohHAO&TTON A/etu Forest Service, U. 8.

They were fretting and setting tobacco in the dust. That is, except the several score who had irrigation. Theirs were early stands, while , the plants of many others lay dead in the dust, requiring repeated settings. Likewise I rode with Bowen in Sumter the May before. That was the year of the great drought you recall. Ed Gulledge’s sprink lers followed his sweet potato setters over a large acreage. A perfect stand was gotten. He fol lowed through the hot dry sum mer with irrigation. His harvest was good, and so was the price. For several years now, we have been dry at planting time for early fall and winter grazing. Those with irrigation got theirs up on time, and you know the rest of their story. For the hundredth time, I want to say, be sure of your water sup ply before you invest in irrigation. Your county agent and SCS men can help you figure that out. It takes a lot of water to irrigate. And when you plan to irrigate a crop, there are a lot of other things to take into account. Brief ly you hiust build up a big yield potential these so the added wat er has something to work with. And, of course, you have to watch for grass, insects, and diseases that added water might favor. Yes, irrigation has some prob lems, sure, but so has every farm practice. Our job is to master them and reap the benefits. And this thing we call irrigation has plenty of the latter, FOOD COSTS If food is high, the farmer sure doesn’t get a reasonable propor tion of it. The experts tell^ me that an average of 50 per cent of the retail cost of food in the great cities is added after the stuff reached them. Yes, the farmer, with all of his investment and costs of grow ing the crop, insect and disease control, the uncertainties, of the weather to run, the harvesting, grading, packing, refrigerating, and shipping’ costs to stand, only gets about, half of what you pay for the stuff. The rest is added after the farmer puts it there in your town. Everybody needs to cut costs all they can and get stuff to folks as cheap as they can. In case of this fam produce, it looks as though something could be done on the other end, too, where half of the cost is added for far less than half of the risk and ex pense. WINTER WOODS I love to walk with the dim path through the woods amid falling leaves of autumn. A gentle zephyr comes and they scurry on the ground like birds. And the leaf-clogged stream has lost its murmur, as the sun shines through bare branches to it there in the cushioned ravine. And on into winter, the woods become crisp and atill, when the last leaf has fallen. The snakey places are bare and the rabbit hides easy in the litter on the ground. A green winter fern is all that shows and the sweet ar- toutas perchance pushes through the dead leaves to light. Nature seems at rest, but not quite. For, even though there’s frost on the dead leaves and ice o nthe water, there are also cat kins on the aide bush. And they are life, new life and growth har bingers for the coming spring, when all things will awaken.
