The woman, who was still too frightened to give ptdice more than her last name. McAfee, was bound ' and gagged by two men who ran- ! sacked her home and left, taking ; only sll from her purse. The bandits approached Mrs Me I Afee yesterday and said they were | there to discuss the new home she ' was planning to build. Once inside the house they bound her with sheets and ripped up some of her j clothes for a gag. After a thorough search they left taking only th:- sll. Hours later Mrs. McAfee freed , her ankles and made her way to the neighbors who called the sheriff.

NAZIS TO CALL NEW RESERVES German War Maneuvers May Continue Into October Berlin, Aug. 17.- <U.R> -Usually reliable informants said today that thi 1 governmet might call up a new hatch of army reservists In midSeptember tn engage in maneuvers. They would replace the reservists now taking ‘‘freshening" courses with the army, it was explained. If this report proved correct, it would indicate a continuation of the maneuvers perhaps into October. At the same time, however, it was reported that some older men who served in the World War, and who were originally called up for the maneuvers had been excused. There was still no sign here that any particular importance attached to the maneuvers except as to the number of reservists involved. The fact is that Germany's reserves were depleted over a period of 17 years during which Germany was restricted by treaty to an army of 100,000 long term volunteers while her neighbors were training a new class each year. It was also true that with the introduction of new weapons, it became necessary to familiarize reservists with them. As the maneuvers developed in various parts of the country, the German news bureau, the official news agency, announced a new specialist branch of the army—a "fortification personnel” made up of non-commissioned officers who would man the new fortificatios on frontiers. o NAZI PRESSURE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tion of international law and order. zWith world capitals nervously seeking to quiet threats of international conflict in Spain. Czechslovakia and the far east, secretary of state Cordell Hull made America's most vigorous contribution to preservation of Democratic government by warning that a general conflict could be averted only be reversing the trend toward Anarchy. The secretary’s declaration was more far-reaching than past statements because of its forcefu language and of the circumstances in which it was issued. Hull necessarily iterated the United States opposition to foreign entanglements but he spoke at i moment calculated to be most helpful to Great Britain's program for averting an expotion in Central Europe; to aid in conteracting war tension caused by Germany's great army maneuvers coincident with intensification of the Czech minority crisis. He asserted, moreover, that there its no middle ground for either large* or small nations in the struggle to-re-establish international security. And he left no doubt that —if the next world war cannot be avoided—the United States wil Ibe allied with the defenders of democracy. Thus the secretary carried one step further the program which he has persistently advanced as the only hope for future peace. That program is based on conviction that the modern trend of international relations —tinged with big league banditry, bluff, piracy and outlaw aggression must slowly be turned back to a legal foundation. To achieve that objective, he holds that the United States must do Its part or be drawn into the chaos otherwls inevitable. o * activities or I ADAMS COUNTY | 4-H CLUBS Attends Camp “On July 18th I started out with eager anticipation on what proved io be one of the most interesting trips 1 have had. We arrived at our destination (Camp-Naw-Wa-Kwa. MoCormick's Creek State Park, Spencer- Indiana) Monday morning. This camp was held for 4-H club conservation members. “As Monday was asscmnly day, we had no program, until the evening session. W. R. Amick of Purdue led us in get-acquainted games and 11. A. Beadell gave an interesting talk on fire prevention. “Tuesday was forestry day. We followed one of the scenic park trails to a suitable location for the study of trees. Here we learned how to use the Biltmore stick which Includes the yardstick, the hypome ter and several other measui ing deHe was given a similar fie and sentence for not possessing a driver's license.

It seems that the two greatest factors damaging wood are fire and grazing cattle, (tattle should bo kept out of the woodlot as they kill most of the young trees and hurt the root system of the older trees. Tuesday afternoon was set aside for recreation. 'ln the evening we had movies on eoil conservation and Howard Michaud, chief nature guide (formerly of Berne) showed eome slides on Birds of Indiana. "Sol! conservation was the topic ’or Wednesday. The day was Started at 5 o'clock by a bird hike for those interested. This was followed by the regular morning ewim at 6 o’clock. After breakfast we left in school busses for demonstration farms near Medford, about 45 miles distant. Here we naw strip-cropping on hillsides as a means of stopping erosion. We also saw sod-waterways which permit water to drain freely but hold the soil from washing away. On our way back we inspected the Avoca state fish hatchery, where Mr. Gottschalk demonstrated the fundamentals of bait and fly casting. In the evening we had an illustrated lecture on 'Conservation of Game Birds and Animals’ "Thursday was wildlife day. IWe took a trip by bus to the Owen county conservation club bird rearing project.

It was suggested that a nmall patch of cofflr corn, millet, etc. be set aside for the birds. "During the afternoon we had the championahip baseball game.

"At the evening session we heard Lowell Thomas', talking movie, 'Hidden Enemies’, showing the life history and habits of termites. The film presented some very alarming fact, concerning the damage done. We also had as a 'last night’ feature a very interesting program by a group of Knox county girls. "Entomology was the subject for the last day at camp. G. E.’Lehker, exteneio nentomologist of Purdue University, was in charge. We were amused at his definition of a mosquito. ‘A mosquito' he said, ‘consists of a drilling outfit with a suction pump and a reservoir mounted on a small airplane with a loud exhaust’. He went on, giving three methods of reducing the number of these blood sucking insect.. First .remove all wood and debris from pools of stagnant water. Second construct a deep shore line, and third, put some surface feeding minnows in the pond. Mr. Lehker
