We are so advertising conscious we reach for a cigarette before finishing the line Indiana crop prices best in ten years—reads a headline, and that's something encouraging in these times. The mother of a flock of little! ones and the housewife who gets ' three meals a day and does the i housework wonders why she isn t included in the federal 30 or 40-1 hour a week schedule. The years roll around. Today John D. Rockefeller celebrates his 94th birthday. The world's most famous nonagenarian still has the' laugh on many of the boys and ■ seems to be as keen as ever. State highway workers are improving state roads No. 527 and No. 124, running south and east of Decatur. The roads are being oiled and will be opened to the public in a short time, making them more satisfactory for travel and general use. After days of anxious waiting.; the country is glad to hear that i Jimmy Mattern, intrepid globe ; -girdler is safe on a island in Siberia. Our advice to him would be to get out of there as soon as he can and then stick around home for a while. Adams county receives $17,762 and Decatur. $1,063 as their share of the last three month's state gas tax. This tax goes toward road and street maintenance, no local levies being made for these purposes. The state collected $4,863.780 in the quarter, which goes to show how fast pennies pile up. Congressman Parley has designated men for the postm aster's job at Ossian. Larwill and Ray. the' appointments to become effective i as soon as the department in Wash-' ington can act on them. That’s one task whicn goes with a congressman's job and this year it is keeping them all busy in vacation time. President Roosevelt saved the economic parley from going on the rocks, much to the credit of this country and assuring other nations that he didn't mean any fooling !

later that it's up to everyone of them to give and take a little and to help get things straightened out. The state looses a valuable public servant through the resignation of Col. Richard IJeber, for 14 years director of the state conservation department and until recently commissioner of state parks. ! Mr. Lieber was recognized as one I of the foremost authorities on conI servation matters in the country ' ami under his directorship charter- | ed a program of great benefit and i utility to the state. Local Rotarians are justly proud of the state recognition attained by their club, through the year’s service rendered by A. R. Ashbaucher, club president. It’s something to be at the top of the list and to be a winner during a time when the general inclination is to quit or lay down on the job. Winning is worth twice as much then as when everything is easy going. It shows the right kind of spunk and determination and President Ashbaucher proved to the state that he and his club members were not asleep this year. Congratulations Fritz. Teachers of Adams county, northern Indiana and parts of Ohio and Michigan, will be provided with a wonderful program at the annual Northeastern Tndiana Teacher’s Association meeting to be held next October in Fort Wayne. Among the headliners will be Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of New York City; Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, youthful president of the University of Chicago; Dr. Willis A. Sutton, superintendent of schools, Atlanta, Ga„ and Dr. George D. Strayer of Columbia university. It will be several days devoted to educational subjects and of great benefit to those who have the job of teaching our children. M. F. Worthman, superintendent of the Decatur schools, is secretary of the district organization and assisted in making up the program. The Chamber of Commerce has I a membership of 116 up to date | and a few more live wires, willing I to give $2.50 for a year’s dues will ! send the roster over the 125 mark. Don't try to find excuses for not ' wanting to join. The Chamber of Commerce is composed of local people and the officers are just trying to keep an organization together. imbued with the belief that no city of 5.000 population should be without a civic organization, through which the community can work when the occasion demands. It has no SIO,OOO funds to finance this and that, no power, beyond creating sentiment so. r worthy causes, no axes to grind nor is it ag in anybody. Every person doing business or making his living, owes something to the community in which he lives and works and a rnembcr*7iip in the Chamber of ' Commerce is a jesture meaning for I cooperation and one's willingness |to help. Don't let your civic loyalty be questioned for a five-cent per week membership fee. Industry is giving attention to the codes and policies under which it must operate in compliance with the National Recovery Act. It means the revamping of practically all lines of business and the junking of old methods and systems. I The Federal government stands ! back of the enforcement of the ; provision of the act, intended to give more employment to men and '[ women, through a reduction of II hours of those already employed, i Schedules running from 30 to 40 I hours a week are being adopted in different manufacturing plants and I it will not be long until every em- • | ployer and employee is faced with I the new conditions. Treading a path, j more or less experimental in nature, the governmfent hopes that the plan, under the direction of ’ General Hugh Johnson, will put tour to five million to work in the next year, thus creating a wider purchasing power and the taking off of thousands of men from the community's relief rolls. Wide

f power” nro given the administrator d of the act and although it means .. upsets, changes auu sacrifices ou the part of many, the law applies “ to nearly all industry and plans 1 are being made to comply.

CHAPTER XLIV So Curtis came. Blanche put both arms around him, and kissed him soundly. “I am glad to see you—what’s the matter with your old firm that they don’t send you up here any more ? You’re a stranger—” That was the nicest thing about Blanche- her warm sincerity. She was a big girl, with cheeks like apples, and a wide, welcoming j smile. There was something fresh ' and wholesome about her. Curtis was fond of Gloria. She was a spindly little thing with large pale blue eyes, and fuzzy yellow hair that Blanche curled every day on the iron. “Some would have a permanent wave put in, but I think too much of my child’s future for that! I don’t care how long it takes me to do it, I curl it all by hand.” Yes, Blanche was a good mother —according to her lights. She sent Gloria to Sunday School every Sunday, and washed her mouth out with soap if she heard her say a bad word. “You never got that from me!” she'd storm. “I’ll teach you to use bad words, you naughty, naughty girl!” “I intend to send her to a good school,” she told Curtis every time he came North, but she put it off. It would be lonely without her, and Ferd would feel badly when he came i home and she wasn’t there. It had been months since Curtis had seen them. Pleasant to be back . again. Pleasant to eat Blanche's delicious spaghetti, and hold pale little Gloria on his knee. She put her thin little arm around his neck, and showed him the bright little picture cards she had got in Sunday School. “And this is Moses, when he was a little baby. The queen found him in a basket . . . and this one is the Good Shepherd looking for the little lamb that got I lost—” A lump rose in Curtis’ throat... poor little kid. He thought of Joan where he was. He thought of another little girl whom he might some day hold on his knee. Hurriedly he set Gloria down. “I'll have to be getting along, Blanche—” “Why, Curt!” Her bright face clouded, "Why—surely— ’’ Then he thought of Joan again . . . what she had done to him . . . all his hopes and dreams in the dust . . . killed by her hand . . . “Oh, al! right,” he said, “I’ll rtay.” He stayed two days. He bought a , blue broadcloth coat with a diminu- ' tive squirrel collar for Gloria. The blue just matched her eyes. He felt almost happy for a moment when she put her thin little arms tight around his neck and squeezed him—- “ Dear Uncle Curt!” ' “You shouldn’t have!” Blanche . scolded affectionately, “Still it does look sweet on her. Turn around, I Lovey, and let Mamma see the back. Ain’t you the proud baby ? Curt, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you i twenty times, I'm no gold-digger, you don’t have to go and spend all ' your money ... I declare I never saw a fellow as crazy about kids as you are. You ought to get married 1 and have about six yourself!” [ The hot tears stung his eyes. Blanche understood him. Blanche t appreciated him. She knew all he would do for the girl he married, how generous he would be, how r kind. ... All he would have done , for Joan ... if she hadn’t spoiled ’ it .. . wrecked his life ~ . ? Sometimes he almost hated her. All those months, knowing that he 3 loved her, knowing that he expected

to marry her, and not telling, not telling until now . . . the eleventh hour . . . Once he decided not to go home at all. He would write Joan telling her the situation had become impossible. Get a leave of absence from the firm. Travel for a year or so. Begin again. Find another girl eventually . , . But it wasn't any use, he couldn’t forget her. She would haunt him always. He hadn’t found forgetfulness with Blanche. He wouldn't be able to find it in travel. There would always be Joan, drawing him back, beckoning to him across the distance. When he closed his eyes he could see her, her delicate white face, her appealing, gray-green eyes . . . He couldn’t be happy with her now, she had made that impossible, but neither could he be happy without her. Might as well go back, and see her again, talk to her . . . So he came back. He came to Maisie’s flat in the evening, after the dishes were done. Maisie was stitching on the luncheon set, determined not to “let on” that she knew anything was wrong. Joan was sitting in a corner reading a book. Reading the same thing over and over, not conscious of a word on the printed page. When Maisie saw him at the door she snatched her old coat off the hook on the back porch, and hurried down the back stairs to Mis Harvey’s. They didn’t even know she had gone. “Curtis!” Joan whispered. “You’ve—come back!” “Yes,” he said huskily, “I’ve come back. I couldn't stay away. I love you, Joan—l love you—” He held her close, so close that he could feel her heart beating against his. She was so pathetically glad to see him. She put out her slim, cool hand and touched his cheek. “I missed you terribly,” she said, “I’m so glad you’ve come back.” And then, “Have you—decided?” she asked, very low. No pleading in her voice, no humility—just the question—“ Have you decided?” He Whd expected something different, he didn’t know what. Tears perhaps, supplication . , . certainly not that cool question, when he had hardly got into the room, hardly kissed her . . . He felt his heart hardening, ever so slightly, against her. Didn’t she realize all he had suffered? All the suffering she had brought upon him? “Why couldn’t you let me have one moment ci hap; iness,” he burst out suddenly, “wiihont reminding me—reminding me—” She hung her head. “I’m sorry, Curtis. It’s all I’ve thought of. It’s very hard—waiting—” She reached out her arms to him again, but the first moment of ecstasy was gone, gone as if it had never been. She only knew that her i head was aching, and in some inex- , plicable way she had failed him I again. “Did you have a nice trip?” she ■ asked at last—politely, as she would I a stranger. “Oh—fair.” - “Your mother has been worried,” > she went on hurriedly. “She’ll be 8 glad you’re back—” < “Joan —for heaven’s sake, don’t r I make conversation. You’ll drive me e ! crazy. I’m nearly crazv now. I've II thought and thought until I don’t ; know where I am, or what to tell '• > you. You don’t know what you’ve e . done to me—how this thing affects 1 me— ”

He half choked and went on. “You see how it is—l’m hardly responsible . . . Johnnie, you’ll have to tell me the whole story—tell me the whole thing—who this—this fellow “No, no—l couldn’t—you mustn’t ask that—l couldn’t—” He began to walk up and dowa again, as he had on that other night, in the apartment that was to have been their home. Up and down, up and down, restlessly, ceaselessly. And she sat with her hands folded in her lap, waiting. Like a pris- , oner in the dock. “For the last time, Joan—will you tell me who it is?” “No, Curtis.” “Oh, Joan—don’t you see what you’ve done—how unfair it is to me? I might meet him —shake his I hand —invite him to our home —” i She covered her face with her | hands then. She couldn’t face him. To think of him knowing Bill, as he might some day. He knew Rollo Keyes, it wasn’t impossible . , . “Will you tell me?” “No, Curtis—no—” But her bent neck, her quivering shoulders softened him. There came a sudden rush of tenderness, a desire to protect her, to stand between her and the world. His arms tight- i ened about her, and she clung to him, and cried. “We’ll just let it go on then,” he said soothingly. “See how it works out Try to forget it —” “To forget it!" she echoed. “To forget we have to decide? We can’t —we’ve got to know—” “We have two months yet. Plenty of time. Well see . . . I’ll find a way . . . there must be a way—” “You mean,” she said finally, “that you aren’t going to tell me now? That you won’t tell me whether you still love me and want to marry me or not? You want me to go on this way—not knowing— j surely you don't mean that—” “I mean that I’m not prepared to make any definite decision this eve- ! ning, Joan. It won’t be any worse to break in a month from now. if break we must, than to do it now—” She bit her lip. “I—l can’t go on that way, Curtis. I want to do what you want—but—l can’t do that—” He drew back angrily. “It seems to me, Joan, that if one of us must give in to the other, surely, in view of all that has happened—” Joan drew back, too. Slipped out of his arms, quiet and very cold. “I think you will have to decide now. Curtis. I—l won’t go on, that way.” ’ She looked so slim and white and frail, as if a stiff breeze would blow her away, but he sensed her strength of purpose, knew she would have her way. She was stronger than he ... he knew it ... so he said the only thing he could say. Said it with twisting lips, and eyes that could not quite zveet hers: “I can not give you up, Joan.” All the blood drained from her face, until even her Tips were white. ‘ “You mean—that you—still want me, Curtis? That you can—go on with it?” “Yes—that’s what I mean.” She cried then, silently, in his arms. When at last he left her she called him back. “Curtis!” “Yes, Joan?” “Curtis—l want you to know— j that I’ll—try to make it up to you— i try to make you glad—” “Dear, I know, I know—” But 1 Maisie was coming ... he blew ; her a kiss, and disappeared down i ’ the dimly lighted stairway.

GROSSIST BLANKS SIMPLE Attitude of Public ioward New Tax Law Reported Favorable Indianapolis. Ind.. July 8— (Speclai)— Simplicity of the K™’"’ H come tax return blanks and tae| manner in which automobile lice.se burea branches throughout the| state are equipped to assist tax-, payers in making returns and payments, have brought about » notice | able change in the attitude of the | public toward the n-w tax law. a> ; cording to reports received by Clar-1 ence A. Jackson, director of the gross income tax division. Jackson's reports from fl hl nu n shows that the public has been agreeably surprised with the ease, of making retunae. The feeling that | it is ir.ot so great a nuisance as was xpected, is spreading, the reports show. “Try to make out your own return,” Jackson said. “Unless yonr income is from a complicated j source, you'll find it easy to comply with the taw. For the man working on a salary, the total amount he received is shown, the $166.67 ex- 1 einption is subtracted and one per cent of the remainder paid. Other 1 cases are equally simple. It will take only a few minutes to make j out the most difficult return. Mr. Jackson pointed out that' field examiners from the stat, board of accounts will be on duty in every county between Julylll0 1 and July 15 to help taxpayers who I are is .able to solve their complicat-! ed problems. o — SCHOOL CITY IS FACING DEFICIT OF OVER $6,000 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) !
