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."

GETTING A STAND
One of irrigation's greatest uses
is to get a stand.
I rode with County Agent King
in Marion last May. 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.

their wings, and glide to a stop

bit of contented chatter and they
