Cincinnati 11. <1 legs are having a real sluiupy slump and it s I hard to figure how the world champs could be running around in circles as it is. Perhaps the other teams hav< improved. —o Under the new taxes proposed in a measure now in «ongr< ss. a mar-1 ried man with an income of *2.500 would pay 111. not a large sum for living in the greatest land in the world and being protected. A woman was passing a store in Alexandria and b«< ame ill from ammonia fumes which came from the store. She sued and got a verdict for *3.000, which sets a new high peak for bad smells. The spring drouth is somewhat alarming. However, it has provided the weather for farmers to plant com and most of that big job is out of the way. A few showers now will make things just right. You will be surprised at the excellent results you can get by running a classified ad in this paper, unless you have tried it. Ea< h day we are told how quick any how good are desired returns from those who use this medium. Those who enter military training will have to be able to pass a fourth grade examination, which of course they can do. Tho*< who don’t measure up to that in this day and age are scarcely tit to don uniforms. Defense bonds and postal saving stamps are excellent investments and millions have already purchased them You can Invest any amount from a dime up to 110.0(H) and know that it’s as safe as America. —o—o The average person doesn’t know Just what Is going on in Europe these days, but feels sure there is something unusual. Herr Hess furnished an episode that may c-kange the course of the war gad it’s results.

U I* i Uhnr d that Rudolf Iles* left word h<> would b« bat k home in a couple of days and that he was going over and "sell a friend ’ on the idea of peat .- Imtw.<ti Germany and England. It founds funny but so does the whole episode seem u little off O—O— A pvt ping Tom named William Hall of Montpelier, who has been frightening women and children .it Hartford City for a month by peering in windows, was taptur.d this I Week and given 12" days at the I state penal faim He has been arrested before for similar offenses els-where and has served time. O—O It Burdette Custer, well known limul attorney, will h. id the Imai ■ haptvr of Lions a- pi> sklent. With th. other capable officers ax chuted h> will tie installed next Tmsday evening The club is on. of th. most active service organisations in the community cud with Mt Custer and the live win board of dlici tor*, they will tontiuile Io render great assistance. O—O Th. Is .atur junior *, nior high *< hool ha* again been awarded an A 1 ating by tile North Central Arsocialion of College* mid secondary siiuH.ls. recognition held sin. 1910. It is of importance liecause it sets a high standard for those who deiM-nd on a high school diploma as well ax those who expert to continue their educational work in colleges and universities. It is Interesting and encouraging to barn from A. F. .Mlles, sup. tin-i.-nd.nt of tile Pendleton reformatory that he now has «M> less prisoners than a few years ago. It is th.- opinion generally that the better showing is dm- to the < (torts of the CCC aud NYA and other similar organizations that have been working on a program to save the youth. When th. lads are busy they don't commit crimes it seems. O—O Just when it apfn ar. d that the strike epidemic was over and that every one had settled down to mastering th.- job of defense, it breaks out again and several of those walkouts proposed now will prove damaging if they culminate. We are close to th< point where there will have to be unity of purpose and action not only for the present needs but to assure the American way of life after the wars are over. O—O Old Dizzy l*ean. for several years the most colorful matt in baseball, has i|illt the game and probably will never return. With tears in hi* eyes he submitted his resignation to the manager of the Chicago Cubs. H< wax purchased from St. Louis by the Cuba for 911)5.000 and three good players and never got in form He hopes to come ba< k after a year of rest but experts don’t believe he will ever be the old speed ball king again. He will act as a Cub coach. Americans eager to aid refugees and other war victims should be businesslike as well as generous. Home ot the organizations handling funds are more efficient than other*. Th.. State Department has recently issued a report on such groups which shows that a few ot them spend most of the money for operation and almost none of it for the cause* for which it was contributed. One unit, for example, spent 9H percent for “overhead." Five other* spent more than <0 percent to run their organization*. There are other* that keep their costa very low. In no case, say* the National Information Bureau, which investigate* philanthropic .agencies, should overhead take more than 25 percent of the total, la many ot the organisations soliciting and distributing fund* it la much below that figure.—Anderson Bulletin.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Bendra wasn't afraid to stay alone at the Place of Trees; but now that she krew the Forest Man wouldn’t be along, the solitude took on a deeper, different quality—and her hanger a keener edge. With a determined eye on the cache, she got op and jerked on her dry slacks. But ■ae aat down again, quickly. On the far side ot the little meadow, swinging toward her through the trees, she had caught the movement cd a figure in yellow oilskins. Her heart gave a leap of antlefpa* tion. Ho had come ba<-kf And the ax and loaded knapsack bo carried ware evidence that thia time he had eome to stay. To protect her, In defiance of her order*. Although ahe knew these woods held nothiag to protect her from, she felt a glow of satisfaction. She tamed her baek oa hi* apBach and pretended to be very y with her fire. She would treat him coolly at first, because—because he was a ReynalL Then gradually relent, and be nice to him. But her softened mood changed to chagrin when he tossed hi* pack down under her tree, not eight feet from where she eat, and, ignoring her presence, opened a cheerful conversation with himeWf. “Jean, old scout, here's where we pitch camp. *Neath hidden stare, la solitude nnmarred by carping tongues. Ah, wUderoeaal” Then, alternately whistling and singing, ho gatberoa wood and piled It under the tree—cedar saplings, drift from the beach, dry alder stick*. 80, thought Sondra, he intended to discipline her for telling him to leave her alonel Weil, two could play at that game. She kept her eyea resolutely averted, bat her ears took la the little ceremony ho made of laying wood on his fire. “Alder for heat," he reminded himself aloud. “Green cedar for fragranee, driftwood to mako colored flames.,.. Ues-esHn. Bmella swell Like sandalwood." Despite her turned baek, she could not remain unaware of hl* setivltie*, carried on eo near her. Phe flourish with which he spread * eanva* square to ait on; his oelentatioua laying-out of food ho mew would increase her hunger—saeon, bread, a paper bag of coffee. A* twilight settled over the cove, taatalizing smells of boiling eoffae snd eooking bacon made her ehance * swift look at him. Ha was roUta above the coals a peeled greea r shoot, oa which skewered iliees of baeea friszled enticingly. Se gave a lead, anticipatory sniff, tad addressed himself enthu*ia*tisally: “M’sieu Jean, aa a ehat da Ma you're the feline'* whiskers. Behold the pale brown perfection of that bacon—crispy, sizzling, atatynilyuaf" Sondra stared stonily across th* save, trying to Ignore all sound* 'rom ths other campfire. But bow he selfish monster was noisily pourng his coffee—hot fragrant coffee the eraved with all her being. ... io was crunching bacon—crispy iacon, with bite* of bread.... Her nouth began to water, and she tlunged her mind into the dismal (lessor* of calling him “pig" in 'ariou* langusgsa. Then she saw he tad placed within her reach a cup ■f eoffae and a broad leaf, on which io had arranged bacon alicaa aad tread. Because it took all her will power 0 keep from accepting hi* ailent ffering, she became more incensed han ever. If only she could show dm she could provide her own food -when ahe needed IL Trouts She tad no fishing toekln. But—salmon rars running. She had watched InHan boys catch them with their lands. Couid she catch one, clean it rith her trail kx, and somehow broil t in front of her fire? “11l do it If it kills ma,” she dserainad. But when she actually stood In ba shallow atroam, staring down >t the struggling acorea of salmon umping past her ankles, she wished o heaven aba had never attempted he faeL With his qyee open tour, towever, she must go through with L Sbo must get a fish..., That aalUlb eae, now ... you crouched o ...you slid your hands gently up dong eaeh side, eo ... you hookzd fiuCHAiAto Uwjai fiUU. 6.Q1

There waa a primitive snugnuea, a stimulating if . silent intimacy, in th* flame-lighted s circle of their little world, roofe< I with green branches and wallet I with white-blooming elderberry. . She felt a positive glow of eontentt ment when the fish, browned to per- > faction, proved a sueceea. f She had started to eat, using a elean chip for a fork, when Reynall, . pretending to pluek a spirited banjo r aeeompanimeat from th* handle of ; hie ax, broke into th* *o-call*d i "them* sung" of AlaAa fishermen: ”1 dont ear* for a T-bone steak, , Cnt from a steer from Texas: Rut I Uk* fish I Good old flahi > And 1 don't give a darn if I do pay taxes...* I He sang all toe versos, Improvised , others, and was still at it when she . finished her dinner. She longed to , laugh, to capitulate and Join in hi* > fooleryi but ho had started thia | elaborate fiction of being alone, ao . let him end It by speaking directly , to her. It was in a spirit of fun, however, that she hauled out the harmonica and commenced very , earneetiy to practise “Home, Sweet t Home.” He kept a straight face, but began to muse grandiloquently, and l loud enough for her to hear: “Women, It hath been sold, are the 'speaker sex.' Yet her* we are, in a 'Midsummer Night's Dream* eet- , ting—barring the rs.% es eemree—and ahe will have no ssseeh with me at all.
