Americans are learning the
meaning of conservation. They are
learning from an exacting teacher
—war. War has in a matter of
months switched this country from
a nation of abundance to a nation
of scarcity, as far as civilians are
concerned. And where there is
scarcity, there 'must be conserva-
tion. Automobile owners cannot
bum up their ears with speed as
they were wont to do a few years
ago. Housewives connot carelessly
demolish household appliances, or
toss out surplus food.
The new effort to conserve must
reach farther than slow driving
and eating the last crust of bread.
It must reach into one of the most
important existing fields of conser-
vation—fire prevention. Several
hundred millions of dollars worth
of property is destroyed each year
by fire. The bulk of that loss is
sheer criminal waste ,brought a-
bout by indifference and careless-
ness on the part of individuals.
This carelessness can be eradicated
by education, by learning that pre-
venting a property-destroying fire
is as great a step toward conserva-
tion as driving your auto slowly to
save tires. Fire prevention author-
ities ha.ve emphasized that: ‘ ‘ The
development of a safety awareness
that will control the daily actions
of the individual is necessary if
preventable fires and conflagra-
tions are to be reduced to a mini-
mum.”
Until our individual conservation
efforts are effectively directed to-
ward curbing fire hazards in the
home, in the factory, on the farm
and every place else where life and
property are involved, we have
not learned the lesson of conserva-
tion.
To relieve crowded trains and
busses the public is asked not to
make unnecessary trips. ODT has
defined trips for the following
purposes as non-essential:
1. To other cities to visit friends.
2. Home fdr the week-end.
3. Sightseeing.
4. To theatre, races, or other
places of amusement.
5. Any social travel or travel
for pleasure
6. Travel merely for the sake of
going somewhere.
When you start out on a train
trip, you had better be prepared to
“rough it.” The railroads are do-
ing their best, but wartime condi-
tions make traveling most uncer-
tain. Trains are side-tracked to let
troop trains go through, and pas-
sengers miss their connections, Be-
cause of this you may spend
the night in a strange city. You
will find it hard to get a check
cashed, you will have the added
expense 'of a hotel room, or you
g may not be able to find a room at
all.
Despite the railroads ’ use of all
available facilities, there are just
too many people traveling. Last
year passenger traffic exceeded
ithe previous all-time record of
1920 by 14.6 per cent, and the rail-
roads had to serve all these people
with fewer employees and less e-
quipment. Often the diners do not
have enough food to feed every-
one. Many of the trains—no longer
air-conditioned—are distressingly
hot and uncomfortably dusty. Sup-
plies are short, and many older
ears are now in service which have
no facilities for air-cooling.
vThe government asks you to
think before you travel; and ask
yourself this question: “Do I real-
ly have to go?” Men in the service
must travel. If civilians stay oft
the trains, servicemen can have
more comfortable riding condi-
tions—those who stay at home will
be more comfortable too.
It is irritating to farmers to be
informed by statisticians that ag-
ricuture is making a financial kill-
ing of the war. If the statisticians
-would leave the city long enough
to take a look at the way a farm-
er must try to operate under pres-
ent conditions, they would go back
and toss their statistics out of the
window.
For example, a lot of ballyhoo
has been published about the flood
of men going back to the farms.
One dairy farmer was recently
subjected to the flood;—at seventy-
five cents an hour per man. Two
men ,one a civil engineer profess-
ing to help the farmer pinch dur-
ing harvest time, the other an ex-
stevedore looking for easy money,
went into the field to load hay.
At the day’s end they had arrived
at the barn rvith one load. Two
other loads had been dumped by
the wayside, one through the front
door of a grocery store. They were
paid off. Net result: Twelve dollars
in labor costs for a couple of tons
of hay.
This is merely a sample. But it
shows why the country is going to
go hungry if the pencil pushers
that make the rules don’t quit
writing fairy tales.
Motorists and all other gasoline
users were reminded today by W.
H. Price, acting chairman of the
Carson County War Price and Ra-
tioning-Board thait all the coupons
in their gasoline ration books must
be endorsed immediately.
Coupons in new books issued
after July 22, should be endorsed
as soon as they are received from
the War Priece and Rationing
Board, Mr. Price said. In addition,
users should write endorsements,
immediately on any coupons now
in their possession or received be-
fore July 22.
Immediate endorsements are re-
quired under a new OPA amend-
ment both as a convenience to the
public and as a help to OPA inves-
tigators in checking misuse of
ration coupons falling into the
hands of persons not entitled to
them, the Board chairman pointed
out.
Endorsements make it possible
to distinguish the coupons that
have been properly used from the
coupon obtained by theft, counter-
feiting and illegal purchases, and
put into lawful use by black mar-
ket operators. Individuals who en-
dorse the coupons will thus help
OPA see that gasoline is distribu-
ted in a fair and equitable manner.
Legal aid, ranging from drawing
wills to solving problems of insur-
ance, is being provided to soldiers.
At each of the legal assitance of-
fices, commissioned officers, who
are licensed attorneys, are on duty.
Christmas packages may be
mailed to American soldiers over-
seas without t request from the
soldier, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
The package must be no more than
five pounds in weight, fifteen in-
ches i nlength, and thirty-six ins.
in length and girth combined. It
should be marked “Christmas gift
parcel.” Only one such package
will be accepted fo rmailing by oi
on behalf of the same person or
concern to or for the same addres-
see during any one week.
Student nurses who enter the
University of Texas College of
Nursing at Galveston in the Octo-
ber 28 class will have the oppor-
tunity to enroll as members of the
Cadet Nurse Corps, Miss Marjorie
Bartholf, college director, has an-
nounced.
Cadet nurses will have all their
expenses paid, and will be given
a monthly stipend as wfell, she
said.
Date for opening of the next
class has been moved up from Oct.
15 to Oct. 28, she stressed.
Smaller quotas of new passen-
ger car tires for August and larger *
quotos of used and recapped tires
have been announced-by OPA. The
August quota of Grade I tires is
the lowest since last April. OPA
officials warned that drivers who
are eligible for new tires may have
to accept used or recapped types
as long as the quota of new tires
is low.

WHITE DEER REVIEW, White Deer. Carson County, Texas
SYNOPSIS
Roy Rogers (Roy Rogers) handsome
|young foreman of playboy Jerry John-
son’s (Jerome Cowan)' fine ranch, is
trying to hold the group of local peo-
ple, who have put their every penny
into an oil well project, until Jerry
arrives to sign the right-of-way
through his ranch, as he has promised.
Lucky Miller (John Carradine)
crqoked owner of a swank mountain
resort, has designs on Jerry’s ranch,
and the oil well, for himself.—To de-
lay the signing of the right-of-way, he
gets Jerry drunk and kids him into
the idea of sending to the nearest big
city for a mail-order bride.
Mildred Love (Joyce Compton)
who runs the newspaper’s “Lonely
Hearts” department, and the star girl
reporter, Mary Hardigan (Phyllis
Brooks) go, themselves, to Jerry’s
ranch to ‘get the story, even if Mary
has to marry Jerry.’
Meanwhile, Roy and his friend Frog
Millhouse (Smiley Burnette) have ob-
tained an extension of time from the
railroad, but in trying to bring Jerry
to his senses, Roy and Jerry quarrel
and Roy quits the ranch for good.
The girls arrive and unconsciously
play right into Lucky’s nefarious
scheme, he knows Jerry can’t sell the
ranch, according to his father’s will,
but his WIDOW---

“Lucky Miller!” Bailey roared.
“Is that his gambling joint? Now,
Mary, you stay on that job. March
right up to the altar if you have to—
find out what it’s all about. Nothing
can happen to you. I’ll be standing
there at your side—”
“You promise?” she all but wept.
“I’ll take the first train out of here,
1 and Bulldog Bailey never breaks his
word!”
Mary gave a groan of relief. If he
took the first train out, he would be
here early in the morning.
Morning came, and he did not ap-
pear. But the Justice of the Peace
did. and the girls could not delay the
ceremony. Since Bulldog had. let her
down, Millie promised to come to her
esoue and '‘object” at the proper
pomem. She was perfectly safe so

her. “Jerry, don’t,” she pleaded.

you!”
"You can tell me on the way to
the ranch,” he said, as he led her

i feoy to put your bags in my car.
W«T1 have a wedding breakfast, then

Neither of the girls heard Lucky’s
quick whisper to Steve: “Maybe
Xou’d better take a ride out toward
the ranch, too.”
Roy was as troubled as Mary, that
wedding morning—not for himself
but for all the good people who had
placed their faith in him and in Jerry
who had betrayed them. His heart
ached, thinking of the promise he had
made Jerry’s father to look after him.
Now he had failed.
He stood outside the bunkhouse and
gazed across the far-flung acres of
the ranch that old Mr. Johnson had
Joved and lived for, and wondered
what would happen to it now. For
file other Sons of The Pioneers were
leaving with him, in spite of his vig-
orous protests.

Lucky Miller, determined fo get possession of Jerry Johnson’s
ranch, warns Roy Rogers not to interfere, but Roy, firm in
his conviction that Lucky knows a lot more about Jerry’s
strange accident than he is telling, swears fo bring him
to justice.
scared, as Jerry ushered them into
the house.
A moment later, Jerry came out-
side to face Roy. He glanced angrily
down at the boys’ duffle bags on the
porch. “All that stuff yours?” he de-
manded. And, as Roy* shook his head,
“Rogers, if you talked the others into
walking out on me, you won’t leave
this ranch in one piece 1” He strode
back into the house, to telephone the
sheriff to come to his aid.
Roy did not see him again for al-
most ten minutes. But, in that brief
time, Mary and Millie ran out the
back door to the stable, outside which
Frog stood with the tethered horses.
To Roy’s amazement, he saw Frog
help the girls mount two of the ponies,
then himself leap on his own horse
and lead the trio at a brisk gallop
down the road.
No sooner had they gone than Jercy
again rushed out to Roy. “Was that
some morte of your monkey business?”
“She wasn’t running away from
me,” Roy told him quietly.
“Well, she’s not running away from
me, either,” Jerry said grimly. “And,
when I catch her, I’ll give her a les-
son she won’t forget.” He reached for
his gun, raised it. “But first I’m go-
ing to settle with you.”
Roy dived for Jerry’s ankles as the
shots rang out, and both went down
in the dust, thg. gun flying several
feet away. Roy was back on his feet
in an instant, reaching for the weapon.
When it was 'safe in his hands, he
turned to find Jerry heading for his
car. The next moment, the roadster
was disappearing down the drive.
By this time, the rest of the boys
had come on the run; and, as Roy
made for Trigger, he called back to
them: “Jerry’s gone haywire. Some-
body’s liable to get hurt!” Then he
was in the saddle, and Trigger was
thundering off in pursuit.
Second by second, Roy saw the
distance shorten between him and
Jerry’s car as it careened along the
narrow canyon road. He did not see
Steve, astride his horse, high on the
ridge above them, also watching the
car. Suddenly, a rifle shot rang out.
Jerry’s hand flew off the wheel—and
both car and driver hurtled over the
precipice.
Roy reached the spot a moment
later, reined in Trigger, and dis-
mounted. Peering over the road’s
edge, he saw the twisted wreckage far
below. Swiftly, he tied one end of
his lariat around his waist, then
knotted the noose over the saddle
horn. Commanding Trigger to hold
firm where he stood, Roy began
slowly to uncoil the rope and descend
the embankment.
He heard Trigger whinny a warn-
ing when he was half-way down, but
ht did not heed. He could not know
that Steve had ridden up to Trig-
ger’s side, had been about to cut the
taut rope vfee'i hr i:piwl a rt&e UVs<

There wrx \ grim smile on Steve’s

own . . .
By sundown, Roy Rogers was an
outlaw, accused of the murder of
Jerry Johnson. The sheriff, on his
way to Jerry’s ranch with another
deputy, had driven up just as the
obedient Trigger had backed far up the
incline, drawing tight across the road-
way the rope that was dragging his
master with Jerry’s body up the em-
bankment.
Since there was no one else in sight,
and the rifle in Roy’s saddle boot had
recently been fired, the sheriff had to
place Roy under arrest.
“I’m sure sorry, Roy,” he said. “But
it looks like a cut-and-dried case
against you.”
Roy handed over his gun. “Okay,”
he said. “But you’ve got the wrong
man, sheriff I”
At that moment, the Sons of the
Pioneers appeared on the scene. In
one swift motion, they released Roy—
and left both sheriff and deputy hand-
cuffed together on the deserted road.
Roy made for the hills with his men,
to a little ghost town far back up the
canyon, as safe a hideout as he could
want.
Ironically, it was Frog who re-
leased the sheriff. He had ridden up
with the girls shortly after Roy’s dis-
appearance. And, before he knew that
Roy had been accused of murder, he
had released the officers. The sheriff
then ordered him to take the horrified
girls to the Lodge, while he and the
deputy formed a posse to hunt for
Roy.
Leaving the girls at the Lodge,
Frog sped at once to the home of
Judge Pebble. Aghast at the plight
of his friend, the Judge loaded his car
with supplies and, under Frog’s di-
rection, made his way out to the ghost
town hideout which had long ago, in
troublous times, been a meeting place
for the Sons of the Pioneers.
There, in a rude log cabin, he found
Roy and his men. Roy was too moved
at first to speak. Then finally he found
his voice, he safd anxiously: “But
doesn’t this make you some sort of
accessary to the crime, knowing where
we’re hiding?”
The Judge roared: “What crime?
Nobody I know thinks you had any-
thing to do with killing Jerry, and
I’m here as your lawyer. But, Roy
you’d better come in and stand trial.
No jury around here will convict you.”
Roy shook his head vigorously.
“And what happens to those people
depending on the oil well while I’m
standing trial? I’m going to have a
talk with Mrs. Johnson—”
“I’ve already done that,” the Judge
confessed glumly. “She was awfully
nice, but she ain’t goto’ to do anything
in a rush—and she’s awfully friendly
with Lucky Miller.”
“That means Lucky will move to
