They meet, a* job- Mekers, over want di. and through them dUcover that Kay VJL inherited from her inventor- a factory and a million of Wondrosoap, an all-pur- clearer. Through want ads *ell the product; recall it when Wondrosoap cleans so well that it eats holes in clothing and paint off can; and chemist Hans Stadt, who bad been Kay's fa- ther's assistant, and chemist Joe Benton, whose tests reveal Won- A-osoap to be a more powerful explosive than TNT when mixed with acid. The vacation that fol- lows for Ted, Kay and Joe, and or Mary Martha!!, Kay's secre- tary, after the government takes ver production of Wondrosoap, ends unhappily when Ted believes Kay and Joe are in love. Ted disappears, Kay, Ted, Joe and lawyer Mike Flynn start a search for him, and finally Kay finds aim at Niagara Falls on his way *< Canada to enlist in the army. * CHAPTER XII WANTED a cottage in the county. Must be rose-covered. Address Mr. and Mrs. Ted An- drews. Mike Flynn was waiting when they reached the hotel. "Not a trace of" he began. He saw Ted. "So she found you !" Mike pounded Ted's back. "It's good to have you back, son. And everything's patched up now, Katie?" "I've been pretty much of a fool," Ted admitted. Flynn laughed. "No more than anyone in love, boy. Now that you've met and kicked out that green-eyed devil, perhaps you'll be safe from him." "We're going home to be mar- ried," Kay announced. "With Joe and Mary. In the factory.'' "But that's a government plant now," the attorney protested. "A Munitions factory. D'you think they'll stop production for a wed- ding?" The- Donovan chin went up. Flynn had encountered that chin before. "Well, maybe they might," he admitted. They did. It was a double wedding, in the warehouse of Tim Donovan's factory, with cases of Wondrosoap piled high around them. There was no music, other than the whirr of machine belts, the clank- big of gears. The voice* of work- men filled in for a choir. Otherwise it was a forma! af- fair, with Kay and Mary in white owns and long bridal veils, and Ted and Joe handsome in cut- aways. Mike Flynn gave MI.- girls way, pulling at a too tight col- lar. A FAMOUS BRAND iqcfett's FINE CUT With 400 heifers herded into Alberta in 1865. Walter Ross started one of the Wests largest ranching outfits. Later merged with the Wallace Ranch, it covered over half a million acres of fenced range land in Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan with a herd of more than 12,000 cattle. OX YOKE-BAR BRAND of the ROSS RANCH MacLeod and Goldberg were there, too. Ami old Hans Stadt, alternately beaming and wiping his eyes with a huge bandana. There were Army officers and plant officials in the background. After the ceremony, and after Kay and Mary had kissed every- one, including Hans, an officer stepped up to Kay. "We've arranged a special demonstration for you today, Mrs. Andrews. You would prob- ably like to see how your ex- plosive works in an actual test Because you all are stockholders in the original company, we've obtained permission " An Army car took them to an isolated hilltop overlooking the river. The officer pointed to a sandbar. "In a few minutes a time bomb will be dropped on that bar. ... There is no danger. We're using a very light charge. Only a frac- tion of what will actually be used later. . . ." They made an unusual pic- ture. Two brides in wedding finery; grooms in formal attire, all staring at the sky. A speeding bomber roared to- ward them, swooped low over the river. They saw the slender black bomb plunge downward, hit the sandbar squarely in the middle. "In 15 seconds . . ." the officer said. "The timing can be gov- erned easily." Kay counted softly, "10 11 1213 14 " "BOOM!" A high column of water and sand belched into the air, spray- ing them with mud. When it set- tled the sandbar had disappeared. "There's your Wondrosoap, Kay," Ted whispered, his arm tight around her. "Not mine Dad's ... it works, Dad. Just like you said it would." They had no trouble finding the cottage Kay had dreamed of owning. The want ad took care of that. It was ideal, complete even to a rose trellis over the front door and honeysuckle vines climbing up the back porch. "Find anything you want if you just advertise for it." Ted laughed as he carried Kay across the threshold. "I even found a wife." But honeymoon house was not filled completely with happiness. Ted had refused, finally and defi- nitely, to live on Kay's money. That was going into bonds. They would live on what he earned or go hungry. And the market seemed to be flooded with super- salesmen. Ted worried, too, because he couldn't get in the Army. "You certainly can't be classed as a de- pendent," he told Kay. "And this ticker just a little murmur I picked up playing football. I'll probably live to be 90." Kay tried to convince him that buying Defense Bonds was as im- portant as trying to be a soldier he had tried to enlist and finally succeeded. But finding Ted a job was not so easy. "He has to have something he really believes in," she confided to Mike Flynn. "If we could find him a busines, lend him money to invest in it . . ." "I've given him a dozen leads on jobs, but he won't take them." "Ted's not sold on those jobs, himself. He can't go calling on the same prospects year in and year out, getting the same orders. He has to do it with big adver- tising campaigns, sell the people on wanting the product. And he has to be sold on it himself, first." "We'll keep trying " "He has to find something soon. He won't take a cent of mine. We bought the house with his share of Wondrosoap, and we're living on the rest. Mike, 1 can't lose him again." It was Ted who found the an- swer. Daily he searched the classified sections of the papers. One rigfht "Kay! Kay! I've found it." She hurried in from the kitchen, wiping flour from her h:\ivls. "What is it?" Ted didn't answer her. He \vas talking to himself. "I can do it. I'll get Flynn to check in on this guy, then I'll get Joe up here and let him run the tests. We'll investigate fully before wo go off the ileep i?nd " "Ted, darling, what are you mumbling about?" "We'll organize a company," Ted went on, "and launch a big advertising campaign. It's a cinch. We'll put it on every cupboard shelf in the country. We'll make millions " "Ted, please," Kay pleaded. "Oh, yes." He kissed her and swung her up from the floor. "It's marvelous, honey. Sure fire. Can't miss. Here! It's right here in the paper. Look. Read it." "Put me down!" Ted complied, thrust the paper into her hands, indicating a circled ad. She read it slowly. WANTED Salesman-partner.

British army trucks passed and then stopped short. "Blimey,* exclaimed an amazed driver, "It's Winston." Prime Minister Churchill on an inspection trip breaking a flight to Moscow, turned, waved, and gave the "V" salute. Mr. Churchill spent most of the day among South African and Australian detachments which make up part of the forces aligned against the German and Italian divisions of Field Marsha! Erwin Rommel. Mr. Churchill had arrived in Egypt by plane at a desert air- field at dawn one day. He stepped from the plane in the uniform of an air commodore. Mr. Churchill's arrival as an air commodore eliminated the for- malities which would have been entailed if he had come as Prime Minister. Later he drove to the Suez Canal area to inspect fresh troops and equipment which had arrived recently from Britain. Hastings Leads In Cheese Production Hastings County again led the province in cheese production in July with 1,651,419 pounds ac- cording to agricultural representa- tie H. L. Fair, of Stirling. This w a slight increase over July, 1941, production of 1,511,684 pounds. In the seven months ending Jury, 1942, Hastings County pro- duced 5,563,322 pounds of cheese, compared with 4,401.694 pounds for the same period last year. Numerous showers throughout the Summer have kept pastures in good condition with the result that a number of factories are making as much cheese now as they have at any time this year. Present prospects indicate the 1941 production of 9,426,779 pound* will be exceeded this year. Warns Against Tea Brewed From Weeds Some people say you can go out in the country and there are all kinds of weeds which can be brewed and stewed, and lo, even tea isn't better. But T. B. Wade, tea adminis- trator of the War Time Prices and Trade Board saye: "Don't do It. You'll find yourself in a coffin before your time." About weeds and shrubs as sub- stitutes for tea and coffee, realis- tic Mr. Wade has the following to say: "From time immemorial we have had herbs but they never have taken the place of tea or cof- fee. I think people should be warned against brewing beverages from these plants." An expert herbalist might know the whys and wherefores of shrubs and weeds, but plain Mr. and Mrs. Citizen has to be satis- fied with their rationed supply of tea or coffee and if not satisfied drink hot water in preference to brewing from Ontario picked herbs, declared the tea adminis- trator. Christian Scientists Aid War Victims The hand of comradeship is be- ing extended to allies in northern Russia and to refugees from Singapore by Christian Science War Relief Committees to help the spread of relief activities throughout the United Nations world. Financial aid for relief is also being sent to China by the War- time Fund of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Sci- entist, in Boston, Massachusetts. One of the first shipments to a destination other than Britain was made recently when 40 cases of warm clothing were dispatched to northern Russia. Men and women who bad fled from Singapore as the Japanese armies bore down on that fortress reached South Africa recently, there to receive aid from the Christian Science ' War Relief Committee of Southern Rhodesia. Shipments are impossible to China, but considerable sums ot money have been contributed to China Relief. There are now five depositories of clothes in the British Isles, in- cluding Scotland and Wales, and 3.12 Christian Science almoners working from these centres. Several new electric power plants st.irtcd In Britain before the war are now in operation or are nea.'ing completion.

TABLE TALKS SADIE B CHAMBERS A Salad Chat Salads always grace any menu: firstly, as an appetizer and sec- ondly, as a medium for demon- strating the decorative skill of the hostess. Even the simplest salad can be thrilling, for greens nothing but greens simply and cleverly dressed can have a very fine appeal. Always have your lettuce, cress, celery and radishes as crisp as your best starched pinafore and a cold as the refrigerator can make them. With this basic ad- vice you should be able to give every salad a character and. every time you make them they can be different. The Seasoning The real art of salad making is in the seasoning. Always test carefully, when assembling your salad, and touch up your flavors according to your own individual tastes. Remember a salad dress- ing and seasonings either ruins your salad or gives it the flavor, which places you in the honor roll of salad makers. Do not make your salad dressing haphazardly. Choose a salad dressing which sat- isfies you as the best you ever tasted. Then onion has an in- comparable place as flavoring. So has its twin sister the leek. As for garlic! when a salad master rubs the salad bowl with a cut garlic clove - - it adds a touch nothing else can equal. Salads are no longer regarded as "extras'" but take the place of honor in many a luncheon, supper or refreshment plan. If they hold the necessary qualifi- cations for such a role they must include tissue-building material. Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs and nuts are of this variety, but fruit and vegetables require some- thing to "build them up.' 1 These Add Flavor Clreese can be used as balls 01 cylinders the softer type of course should be used. Cheese makes an ideal stuffing for fruits such as prunes, dates, figs, apri- cots or peaches. Cottage or white cream cheese, rapped up in rolls and sprinkled with chopped ra- dishes, may be added to your salads. Green pepper adds a splen- did decoration and is unexcelled in flavor. For "building - material" vege- tables use corn, lima beans and peas. Of course you all know the value of the hard-cooked egg; devilled eggs with vegetable salad is an admirable dish when cut in slices, sections or diced and served with or in the salad. Shape meat or fish patties a> balls or cylinders, roll in chop- ped cress or nutmeats (if desired) and serve with vegetable salad. Marinating N'utmeats may be used as salad ingredients or garnishes. Cooked vegetables and curtain of the raw ones give more tasty salads if "marinated" also flaked fish and diced meat. To "marinate" means to allow to stand any time from one-half hour until ovei night, sprinkled generously with salad oil and seasoned vinegar or French dressing; fold in thick dressing 1 before serving. Nothing is easier than the raw vegetable salads lettuce, toma- toes, cucumbers, cabbage, raw carrot, young leaves of spinach lettuce. cabbage and spinach shredded and the carrot grated. Either cooked or raw vegetables can be set in a tart jelly. Try vegetable jelly in a ring mould, turned out and centre filled with meat or fish salad.
