It was ag Sunday, nevertheless, and, how a blue one. hen they returned they visited ospital and spent the afternoon Bud, went home and ate, and 1 went to the hospital.

a live-acre tract of muck laud. The yield was announced today at the close of the Indiana crop I contests, conducted among fiveacre farmers by the Purdue agriI cultural division. i The record entitles young Punkop to a claim o n the 1934 national | corn-growing championship. He will be crowned king of Indiana corn growers at the annual meeting of the Indiana Corn Grow ers Association here next month. Since 1930, Karl Punkop, father ' of the famous corn-growing family, and his sons, Herman and Harold, have won four championships and placed second onceThe average yield per acre on their five-acre tracts during the five-year period has been 154.5 bushels, a figure which not only breaks all existing Hoosier record's, but is among the highest in the country. Russell Kuckuck, a neighbor farmer of the Pankops, was adjudged runner-up in the 1934 contest. His yield per acre was 132.5 bushels. He was followed closely by Ralph Stomm of Waterloo, with a yield of 129 bushels. The first three ploces gave Dekalb county growers a clean sweep of

turn tn the morning to the Com-, mandcr HI But she was disturbed! by what Harrow told her. “The time is drawing on," he announced, “and from what I hear from New Y’ork. I won't be able to spend much more time here. I had wanted to go on down the coast and maybe over to Havana, so if I’m ever going to do it I’ll have to start soon.” "I see,” Kay said. Harrow was studying her quizzically. He remarked gently, “Os course, you know, Kay, there’s nothing I’d rather do than take yon along on the cruise. If it just weren’t for your family’s objection . . Kay smiled ruefully. “I’d love to po,” she said, “but I don’t know how it would ever be possible. At any rate. I’ve certainly enjoyed working for you and you’ve been awfully nice to me. Maybe I will be able to get up to New York some day and then I'll hold you to your promise to help me find my way around in show business.”

Harrow nodded. “I wish you could come along,” he said. “I’ll need somebody more than ever to look after my correspondence and one thing and another. It would be a perfectly legitimate job, I assure you; but, of course, you know what’s best at home.” That night out at the hospital she was alone with Bud for a while. He was looking a little better and seemed to be improving even more rapidly than the doctor had expected. “I was just thinking,” he said dreamily. “Os what, Bud?” “About old Pete.” “What about him?” “There was a swell old boy.” “No argument there. He’s as nice a boy as I ever knew.” “You know, you get funny ideas, lying around alone the way I’ve been doing out here,” Bud continued. “You take time to think of things. Pete got. to running through my mind. You know, I always sort of thought you’d marry him some day I kind of hoped you would, in fact.” “You can’t tell," Kay conceded quietly. Bud shook his head. “You’re gone on that Harrow,” he said. “Don’t be silly!” Kay was surprised how angry the accusation had made her. But Bud shook his head again. “I don’t have to be told in words of one syllable,” he said. “Pete knew. too. He told me.” Kay looked curiously at her brother. “Pet» told you? Told you what? There wasn’t anything to tell.” “Sure there was—nothing concrete. but plenty nevertheless And old Fete knew. How do you suppose I got all the low-down on Harrow ?” So that was it? Pete! Kay’s angry resentment made a hard knot in her throat.. t t t Next morning, aboard the yacht, Kay reflected on what Bud had told her about Pete. Honest, blundering old Pete, he had poisoned her family against Earl Harrow in his boyish jealousy and it was he then who was responsible for her present odious position, for her having to sneak back and forth and make excuses to her mother in order to hold a job that would help them in their way out of trouble. Kay didn’t know whether she hated Pete for his interference. She didn't see how she could. But she did know that she was tremendously angry with him and she resolved not to answer his letters and to forget him if possible. If he had behaved with such foolish, blind jealousy once, what might he do the next time? So now, she regretted all the more not being able to remain with Harrow for the cruise. Imagine it! Being paid to travel on a boat like the Commander with such a man as Harrow to the cities of the lower east coast and probably over to Havana! And the fact that she couldn't go—that, too, was Pete’s fault. It all went back to Pete, whom a week or two ago she had considered marrying. To make it worse, she met Ida Campbell on the yacht that afternoon and Ida said, "Earl tells me you won’t be able to make the cruise with us?” “No, I'm sorry, 1 won t be able to go,” Kay admitted. “That’s a shame, Kay. 1 was counting on you. We’d have had such a good time together. Personally I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I’ve just been stagnating lately and it’ll be just what I need. That’s right. Kay thought, rub it in. Nor was that the end of Kay’s trouble that day. When she got

I feel confident congress will not permit this Investigation to die because of failure to appropriate additional funds for It continuation beyond January 1- In my opinion it is essential that world governments learn what goes on behind the scenes in tile munitions business. It Is my hope, and 1 think I express tlie sentiment of a majority of the committee, that this inquiry will result in action by other nations, either individually or collectively, to remove rottenness from the business of manufaeuring arms and munitions.

home her mother greeted her with a look that meant a solemn discussion was coming. “What’s the matter, mother?" "I hear you're spending all your time on that yacht.” Mrs. Owen seemed sterner than she usually was when annoyed by something Kay had done. Kay drew a deep breath and decided that the time had come. “I’m there every morning and afternoon, yes." Her mother’s expression of reproach was painful to her. “But I told you, mother— you didn’t understand—” “You told me nothing of the sort. Now, Kay, I’m not going to try to live your life for you, but I thought we went into all this once before and you said you would have no more to do with those people. It’s the deception that hurts me, Kay.” “No, no, you still don’t understand. I told you it was strictly business. Mr. Harrow offered me a job and when I wanted to take it you said no, and I agreed just to make you happy." “Then when Bud was taken to the hospital I brought it up again and you seemed so set against it that I let it drop. But I had my mind pretty well made up. It was just pride on your part, mother, and you know it. There was no reason why I shouldn’t have taken it After all, it was quite temporary and paid so well that it would have been absolutely foolish to have passed it up, needing money as we do. So you’re right: I did deceive you; I took the job. I’ve been working at it and I’ve two checks in the bank in your account. And you’re going to take that money and use it toward Bud’s expenses or I’ll never, never even try to do the things you want as long as I live.” Kay took her mother by the shoulders and smiled at her reassuringly. “You know you don’t have to worry about me, mother. And Mr. Harrow understands. I told him you objected and he was so nice about it and agreed and said he saw your point. You just don’t know him, mother.” Mrs. Owen smiled, not too easily, Kay thought, and kissed her on the forehead. “All right, Kay," she said. “Do what you think is best. You say I don’t have to worry about you. I hepe not. See that I don’t. Now then, let’s have something to eat and get out and see Bud. Not a word about this to him, now.” “Os course not,” Kay agreed. “He’ll be out of the hospital in a day or two, and then he ought to go to the mountains,” Mrs. Owen said. “I'm expecting a letter any day from Gertrude Bowen, your father’s cousin, you know. She lives near Hendersonville, North Carolina, summers, and in the fall, and it might be that I could get her to let me take Bud up there for a while. She’ll be going back to Memphis soon now and she may let me use her cottage for a while. I don't know how it can be managed, but it’ll have to be.”

Next morning Kay went aboard the yacht, smiling. “You look especially cheerful this morning,” was the greeting from Earl Harrow. “I am.” “Good news?” “Absolutely. I don’t have to sneak back and forth any more. Mother knows I’m doing this work for you and we’ve had an understanding on it.” "I’m glad to hear it," Harrow said. “Do you know, since you told me your mother’s attitude toward me. I’ve been examining my forehead every morning in the mirror; but, if you can believe it, I haven't found the first sign of a horn yet.” "It was all silly,” laughed Kay. “You know how it would be--you coming here with this boat and—" "And a reputation," he finished, smiling mischievously. “Well—yes.” "Os course. Now, I’ll tell you what we’ll do. Let’s celebrate the rehabilitation of Earl Harrow's good name in Daytona. I’ve been wanting to go up to St. Augustine and see the old fort. As often as I’ve been in Florida I’ve never done it. Shall we go this afternoon? You know, you’re the best Florida tourist guide I’ve ever seen.” “Grand!” Kay exclaimed. “I’d love it.” “We’ll go right after lunch. And today you’re fcoing to have lunch with me, here on the boat” “Spike coming ?” “I’m afraid not. He’s become a rooter for your Daytona baseball team and he’s going to see the game across the way on the island this afternoon. He’s been trying to drag me.” Copyright. 1934.

I •We have liad testimony that bribery, in the form of special com- , missions payed to high officials of (foreign governments, was practised widely by American arms salesmen In their search for markets for their' goods.

We want to know whether munitions manufacturers, in their frantic search for profits, have hampered efforts by statesmen to assure the world of prolonged peace.

DRY AUTHORITY I SPEAKS SUNDAY Rev. Leroy Huddleston Talks At Baptist Church Sunday Rev. Leroy Huddleston, financial secretary of the Indiana Anti-Sa-loon League, speaking at the Decatur Baptist church, Sunday morning, said In part: "The present liquor laws, both state and federal, are the most lil>eral ever placed on the statute books. They were written, not for tile benefit of society, but for the brewer and the distiller, and wherelin they were not liberal enough. Hie interpreters of the low have : liberalized them to suit themselves. "The plea in the repeal campaign was that the liquor business must be taken out of politics. But there has never been a law on the books I more capable of political corrupj tion. More and more can this be realized as the serpent discloses I ills real purpose and intent. "The liquor crowd said we must ! modify the law, for the sake of the ! youth, and for the sake of the youth they opened up 22 breweries and ; 7,344 beer taverns or saloons and 1,439 whiskey drug stores. Then I they found all at once that the i young folks were not drinking us ■ much as they had imagined and I that it would be necessary to edul cate them to drink. "An ad appearing in a brewery I trade journal, says, 'Not one-tenth (of one per cent of the youth in colI lege know what really good Amer- . lean beer tastes like. Obviously - there must be a campaign of edu--1 'cation and the one field in which i this can be conducted is the colleges. It can be returned to its , former favor in the colleges which I means the youth of the. land. But . it cannot be done over night ’ j "We admit tin- government needs revenue but we certainly cannot jafford to sacrifice our youth on the I altars of the brewer and die dis--1 tiller simply for a bit of revenue. "We claim to be a Christian na- ) 1 tion but it is hard to see how we can continue to be Christian, and. for the sake of revenue, license an institution to do business whose . record of the past lias proven it to , be not only a breeder of crime, but ■ tiie direct cause of 50% of the major crimes in porprohibition days, ; the direct cause of 80% of the in- ■ mates of our jails and workhouses; . the direct cause of 75% of the poverty according to tile reports oi the Salvation Army, and the direct cause of 38% of the insanity of ! the country. Add to the cost of earing for this horde of unfortun- ■ ates, the heartaches of the fathers ’ and mothers, the wives and children, tlie sorrow, the suffering and I the degradation, and revenue is exj tremely high priced.” o SUPERVISORS MET SATURDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ship for those who wisli to attend. ’ He further stated that there were three very good reasons for record i : keeping: First, it in itself was good > i business. Second, that in the event (the adjustment program carried ’ over for a number of years, good i farm records make it easier for a farmer to cheek compliance. Third, that stale income tax law requires : that a record be kept Record ■ books will be given to all signers free of charge.
