TIME TO
Turkey season will soon be here and
we will pay the Highest Market Prices
at all times for your Turkeys and other
Produce.
Let us advise you not to sell your No. 2, good shaped, turkeys on the Thanks-
giving market. Save them and feed for the Christmas market. They may then
bring you No. 1 price instead of No. 2 price. A difference of a pound in weight
makes lots of difference in the amount you receive if they are too light for No. 1
turkeys.

500,000 bales. Right now, some of
the best read cotton men of the South
are pointing out that the export of
cotton is in grave danger of bleeding
to death. If the South thinks they
can get along without cotton, they
are well on their way to find out right
here some farmers are not allowed
to plant enough cotton to pay their
Government Loan without paying a
tax. Be on hand Saturday to get
your part of the $150 in cash we arl
giving away.
P. S.—It’s just about time to talk
turkeys, too. We will gin Friday anq
Saturday of this week and only Sat-
urday of next week.—GILLEN’S

replied Hays, obligingly, but it was
plain he felt irritated.
“Never mind, Hays,” interposed
Wall, deliberately. “The gentleman
evidently fears I’ll tip off his cards.
So I’ll stand behind you, if I may.’’
CHAPTER II
From the very first deal Hays was
lucky. Morley stayed about even.
Brad Lincoln lost more than he won.
The giant Montana was a close, wary
gambler, playing only when he had
good cards. Stud was undoubtedly a
player who required the stimulation
and zest of opposition. But he could
not wait for luck to change. He had
to be in every hand. Moreover, he
was not adept enough with the cards
to heal himself a good hand when his
turn came. He grew so sullen that
Wall left off watching and returned
to the fireside.
But presently he had cause to at-
tend more keenly than ever to this
card game. The drift of conversation
wore toward an inevitable fight. Thes9
men were vicious characters. Wall
knew that life out here was raw.
There was no law except that of the
eix-shooter.
While he bent a more penetrating
gaze upon Stud, to whom his atten-
tion gravitated, Wall saw him per-
form a trick with the cards that was
pretty clever, and could not have been
discerned except from Wall’s position.
Nevertheless, fickle fortune most
certainly had picked on Stud. He
bet this hand to! the limit of his cash,
and then, such was his confidence, he
borrowed from Moi*ley. Still he could
not force Hays to call. He fell from
elation to consternation, then to doubt,
from doubt to dismay, and from this
to a gathering impotent rage, all of
which proved how poor a gambler he
was. When at last he rasped out:
“Wal, I call! Here’s mine.”
He slammed down an ace full.
Hays had drawn three cards.
“Stud. I hate to show you this
hand,” drawled Hays.
“Yes, you do! Lay it down. I
called you.”
Whereupon Hays gently spread out
four ten spots, and then with greedy
hands raked in the stakes.
Stud stared with burning eyes.
“Three-card draw! .... You come
in with a pair of tens?”
“Nope. I held up one ten an’ the
ace,” replied Hays, nonchalantly. “I
had a hunch, Stud.”
“You’d steal coppers off a dead
man’s eyes.”
“Haw! Haw!” bawled the victorious
gamester. But he was the only one
of the six players who seemed to see
anything funny in the situation. That
dawned upon him. “Stud, I was takin’

thet crack of yours humorous.”
“Was you?” snapped Stud.
“Shore I was,” returned Hays, with
congealing voice.
“Wal, I didn’t mean it humorous,”
Stud retorted.
“Ahuh. Come to look at you I see
you ain’t feelin’ gay. Suppose you
say just what you did mean.”
“I meant what I said.”
“Shore. I’m not so awful thick.
But apply thet crack to this here card
game an’ my playin’.”
“Hays, you palmed them three ten
spots,” declared Stud hotly.
Then there was quick action and
the rasp of scraping chairs, and the
tumbling over of a box seat. Stud
and Hays were left alone at the table.
“You’re a liar!” hissed Hays, sud-
denly black in the face.
Here Jim Wall thought it was time
to intervene. He read the glint in
Stud’s eyes. Hays was at a disad-
vantage, so far as drawing a gun was
concerned. And Wall saw that Stud
could and would kill him.
“Hold on there,” called Wall, in a
voice that made both men freeze.
Hays did not turn to Wall, but he
spoke: “Pard, lay olf. I can handle
this feller.”
“Take care, stranger,” warned Stud,
who appeared to be able to watch
both Hays and Wall at once. They
were, however, almost in line. “This
ain’t any of your mix.”
“I just wanted to tell Hays I saw
you slip an ace from the bottom of
the deck,” said Wall. He might as
well have told of Hays’ irregulari-
ties.
“Wot! He filled his ace full thet
way?” roared Hays.
“He most certainly did.”
“All right let it go at that,” re-
plied Stud, deadly cold. “If you can
say honest thet you haven’t pulled
any tricks—go for your gun. Other-
wise keep your shirt on.”
That unexpected sally exemplified
the peculiar conception of honor
among thieves. It silended Hays.
The little gambler knew his man and
shifted his deadly intent to a more
doubtful issue.
“Jim Wall, eh?” he queried, insi-
lently.
“At your service,” retorted Wall.
He divined the workings of the little
gambler’s mind. Stud needed to have
more time, for the thing that made
decision hax*d to reach was the quality
of this stranger. His motive was
more deadly than his will, or his pow-
er to execute. All this Jim Wall
know. It was the difference between
the two men.
“I’m admittin’ I cheated,” said
Stud, harshly. “But I ain’t standiri
to be tipped off by a stranger.”
“Wei, whatYe you going to do about
it?” asked Wall, while the specta-
tors of the drama almost held their
breath.
Stud’s lean, dark, little hands lifted
quiveringly from the table.
“Don’t draw!” yelled Wall. “The
man doesn’t live who can sit at a
table and beat me to a gun.”

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Only a few years ago, the South
was producing 75% of the world’s
supply of cotton. Five or six years
ago, we still held 60%. Under the
present policy, the South in 1934 only
raised 41%. Foreign countries have
already increased their acreage from
10,500,000 to 13,250,000 bales while
we have cut from 15,000,000 to 9,-
