Whatever else you may dispense .with you are foolish to try to get along without your home paper. You need it e.eiy day nod it is worth many times its cost. We still believe that the first thing the government should do is tv start its budget balancing the way the rest oi us have to —by cutting expenditures. The Philippines will probably be ! given their independence after another decade and that should give them plenty of time In which to. get ready if they start to work now with the proper leadership ! I True Story magazine, in speaking of our own United States, points out that "no other nation at its best was ever as busy as this one at its worst," which is certainly something to ponder during these times. — Mr. Roosevelt has announced that s i far not a single invitation has been extended to cabinet members and that lie mav not make an announcement until a day or two before inauguration day as did President Wilson. The last will and testament of j Calvin Coolidge contained just seventy-five words and was in his! own hand writing oil White House stationery. His estate, valued at about $350,000, was bequeathed to I his wife. Another sign of the hard times ! was the fact that when Ted New berry. Chicago gangster, was bur-' ied the other day, they could only • furnish a SI,OOO casket. Most of ills friends had been furnished s;>,min coffins and twice as many flowers. The taxpayers union say there are ten reasons why a sales tax should not be imposed and not one valid reason for having it. But there u one very important reason far it and that is that the money is needed if we are to continue schools, benevolent and penal iu- ' stitutions. Looks as though the primary law will be repealed. which is okay if some other method just as good is provided for the nomination of candidates (or office. We will have this job on hands aoon in the city and it conventions are used as the means tor this, it will be something entirely uew to Decatur and Adams county. A new slogan or rather an old one to which not so much attention was paid generally is now becoming qui o popular. It is: “Buy American Goods Made by American Labor" To do any thing else in —

these days when every good citizen is trying his "durndest" to help get things back to normalcy, is foolish. About ilio only big business which showed actual profits last year was the manufacture of cigarettes and it is significant that they were the only concerns which maintained their advertising appropriations. Believe it or not, if you | would forget the depression ' and | use the same amount of money in ; advertising that you used to, you j . would increase your business and show a profit. — .. j The state Democratic committee will meet next Friday at Indianap-l pits and at that time will fix the? 'date when members of the various city committees over the state, will meet to organize by electing a city chairman and other officials. That date will definitely fix the I time when the city campaigns will open und all over the state hot fights will be on as usual. It won’t be long now. The domestic allotment bill has passed congress and is now up to I the senate where a rocky road is ! predicted for it. We don't know I whether this measure which fixes a minimum price on seven major agricultural commodities, will Ptffve beneficial or not but its ■ boosters say it will and we have ! reached that point where we are I glad for any effort to restore valines. The measure provides minimum prices as follows: Wheat, 75c .per bushel; rice, 75c. nine cents a pound on cotton; five cents on pegs; three cents a pound on pea ! nuts and twenty-six cents a pound i on butterfat. While these prices • are not exorbitant, they are much better than those for the past year and make it possible for a farmer to live. While there may be much; said against it. we can see many! reasons for its passing as an emerg'ency and it be just Hie thing ! to lift us out of the mire we seem j to have fallen into. * o ♦ ♦ Household Scrapbook -By— ROBERTA LEE_ Protecting the Hands Before some job - around the house that is rough on 1 the hands such as when house-, (cleaning- moisten some white soap I land work it into the pores, under: the fingeraxils and around the cu- 1 tide.

Wilt make me whole, How sweet this chastening rod. My life, my soul, my all is Thine, To mold aguin, as clay: And. if to live, be Thy design, Then this miracle, I pray. My service at Thy altar, Lord, I offer night and day, To keep my will in sweet accord, And guide my destiny. If Thou shouldn't hear our earnest prayer, And flood my veins with life; Ah! Gladly would my shoulders bear This consecrated strife. Too, I am ready, shoulds't Thou will My soul go forth alone; My only plea, that "Peace be still.' Shall be my welcome home. November 21, 1932.

CHAPTER FIFTY ‘‘Save us! What’s here?” he asked, when he stood level with her in the waist. “In heaven’s name, who may you be, madam?" She answered him steadily, “I am Priscilla Harradine, daughter of Sir John Harradine, who was lately Captain-General of the lieward Islands.” And she added: “Y'ou will be Sir Henry Morgan?” He removed his gaudily plumed hat from his heavy periwig, and made a leg. There was something ponderously sardonic in his manner. yet with a hint of gallantry behimi it, as if in that obese and ragging body stiil smouldered embers of the romantic fires of sprightlier days. “To serve you, madam. But what may Miss Priscilla Harradine be doing in the blackguardly company of Tom Leach and his crew? Odd company that for a Captain-Gen-eral's daughter." “I come as an ambassador, Sir Henry.” “From those cut-throats? Od rot me, madam! But how do you happen amongst them?” The Major who had meanwhile climbed the ladder, and for a moment had paused at the head of it, stepped down into the waist and thrust himself forward self-suffici-ently. At last he found himself among men who could uot ignore his rank and consequence. “I am. Major Sands," he announced. “Major Bartholomew Sands, second-in-command at Antigua to the late Sir John Harradine.” The dark eyes of Morgan considered him, and the Major was not reassured. He found those eyes of a singular, mocking malevolence. The heavy face, darkened by a frown at the root of the prominent predatory nose, reflected none of the deference the Major had hoped to command by the announcement of his name and rank. “That being so, and Sir John being dead, what the devil are you doing so far from ycur command? Were you both kidnapped from

Antigua by any chance? If so, I hadn’t heard of it.” , In dignified resentment of Sir Henry's manner, the Major an- , swered loftily. “We were on our ! way tn England on a ship named ‘ the Centaur. She’s over there.” He J pointed to her where she rode ’ within the lagoon. “With us travelled a french ruffian named de ' Bemis, who once, 1 believe, was your lieutenant." Ah. -the dull yellow face lighted suddenly with interest. The sneering malevolence of its eapres- , sion seemed to deepen. “That ruf- ■ fian de Bernis, eh? Continue, . pr»y” Miss Priscilla would here have , interrupted the Major. But he , would not be interrupted. He swept ■ on headlong with his tale of the hoarding of the Centaur by Tom , Leach, and the manner in which . de Bemis had revealed himself to the pirates. Ho was still sketching what had followed and abusively > qualifying de Bernis* name at every mention of it, when Sir Henry, standing befjre him with wide-planted feet and arms akimbo, rougmy interrupted him. “If ye’re telling me the truth,” he said, “seems to me this de Bernis has saved your lives and perhaps more." “If I am telling you the truth?" quoth the Major, with immense dignity. “If I am telling you the truth, do you say. Sir Henry? That is-very nearly to give me the lie j dreumstautial.” ,J'Eaoes take your vapours, sir."!

of death, Where the air was heavy and sttfliug : And. in sore travail he drew his breath. Grown weary of life and its struggios • , That o’erburdeued his form weak and frail, He came to the deep, darksome river, From whose brink, human souls leave this vale. His thoughts from sad earth had been lifted; His eyes fixed on eternity's shore: He awaited the grim old boatman Who would soon, silently row him o'er. He neared— looming large on his vision, While he prepared |o pay him his toll: His body to dust and to ashes; Q re „t God! Tn Thee, his immortal soul! When Lo! There arose ip the distance, A bright star, piercing the midnight blue; Its scintillating rays bright shining; Restoring hope's most roseate hue. Aye! Again, he could hear earths

Morgan roared iu ;i. »i then: Unless you’re a liar, you’re the meanest man I've met in years." The Major, going red and white by turns, drew himself up. “Sir Henry, I have the honour to hold the King's commission, and . . .” “Why, so have 1, sir. So have I. And so has many another scoundrel. That proves nothing.” He made a repudiating gesture with an enormous freckled hand. “We’re wasting time. What 1 desire to know- is how you come here aboard my ship, and why,” He swung to the lady with a smirk and a bow. "Perhaps you will tell me, madam.” Eagerly she complied, glad that the poison Major Sands had been pouring forth was stemmed at last. "We bring you a message. Sir from Monsieur de Bernis." "Ah!” He was all attention, ignoring the Major, who had fallen back, and livid with anger was biting his lip. “An offer of terms, Sir Henry.” “Terms?" He blew out his enormous cheeks. “Terms!” He turned with a hoarse, fat laugh to the officer behind him. “There’s impudence! An offer of terms when we have them at the pistol-muzzle. Well, well! In heaven's name! What are these terms?” She began to explain to him, as she had been instructed, that the buccaneers were not quite at the pistol-muzzle; that they could take tc the woods, where they might not be followed save at great peril. She was still eloquently at this when he interrupted her, a rude, overbearing man. “The terms! The terms!” he demanded impatiently. She stated them. Monsieur de Bernis offered to give up Tom Leach, alive or dead, to disarm the ships and fling their guns into the sea, in return for the honours of war in other respects and freedom tor the buccaneers to depart in heir own time. Those were'the « rTn s- But she did more than state .hem; her tone pleaded for their acceptance as if she were advocat- - BrJshe J s he c » us » of Monsieur de TL- i
