More than 123 as line young men and women as can be found any where, will be available with graduation. 0— j Remember the street fair will be just an good aa we make it. No out* man or small group can make such an event the big success It ought to be. The citizens ot the community can do it. Let's all be boosters. o—o If the Isle of Crete- can b. invaded by parachuters and men who arrive in gliders, it looks as though any other isle or country can be attacked in the same manner. There is no such thing as isolation it seems. —C It's strange bow the metropolitan press apd the broadcast ing lecturers continue to abuse President Roosevelt. A stranger would think he was the most unpopular man in America unless her happened to gel a look at the election returns. -0 Thu very best investment you can make is in government defense bonds and postal savings. They are backed by the nation and if they are not good, nothing else Is. They are good and they will continue to be the best assets in all the world. —o—o This country will be turning out boo big bombers a mouth and thousands of pursuit and other smaller planes by 1343 It the plans of Knudsen and Jones work out and those two follows have away ot making things work that they band. a Ona ill-kept yard or lot can spoil the appearance ot an entire block or suction of the city.

Jean de Lux. which is Just south of Bordeaux. The young men who enlisted as ambulance drivers may be held as war prisoners. It is reported. The old racket of fake eye doctors is being worked over the state, according to reports. A ‘smoothie" i alls at a farm home and represents himself as an expert, takes an order and aa large a down payment as he can get and that's all there Is to it. Watch for these gougers and slam the door. —o Th-- order from <>eijmtny that the United States remove her diplomatic staff from Paris by June Vnh must prove. If there were any doubts, that the once proud republic has become a Nazi controlled territory Under present conditions there is probably little to Ice a< ■ ccmpllshed there of benefit to this nation. o 0 Edward Anthony, who represents a national magazine, accompanied fifty ships across the Atlantic to see what was really going on. They landed safely with cargoes valued at a hundred million dollars and without lotting a man or a pound of goods. That’s rather encouraging afhi h-aiiug -o: mouths 1 about the lost tonnage. —o Mayor Florello lacGuaidia of New York City will head civilian defense aucl that means it will be a real organization for thia leader of men Is recognized as one of the best in the country at such work. Volunteer organizations will be made in each city and county. He has already taken over with headquarters at Washington and will start the big plan at once. O- O — The corn is planted and on the way and in a week or two you will almost hear it growing. While this is the big crop In Adams county, we also depend much on beans and beets, wheat and oats and other products of the soil, indications are for a whopper crop that will make our farmers happy and prosperous this year when America is not only the world's arsenal but also the bread basket. —o CONGRATULATIONS: Commencement exercises for the Decatur high school, the sixtieth annual event of its kind, was held last evening and the ninety-eight members ot the- class were honored. It Is the largest in the school's history aucl these boys and girls step out Into life with the foundation provided by a splendid school, one of the best hi the state. Under I Superintendent Walter Krick und Prim Ipal W. Ouy Brown and a c orps of trained and efficient teacbers in each department, the students have been well grounded either to enter active duties or to coutinue their education. The exercises were Interesting und were enjoyed by a crowd that tilled the large auditorium.* We offer our congratulations and again express the hope that each member of the class may continue his or her efforts to gain greater knowledge and use it in the right direction. You have the greatest opportunity ever offered young people. Don't believe any thing else. The world mor® than ever is looking for bright and energetic young people who can assume the duties of life and do them better than they have been done before. There is room at the top and yon are on the way up. Don't stop until you get there. - TODAYS COMMON ERROR ' lie did uobie;’’ an expression | commonly heard, is illiterate. i you cap **y.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE The Csptain, who had been staring speculatively into space, now repeated softly, “Bottled up—in Shaman's — Lagoon!" Then he turned to Kemp with a brisk, "Three days, he said? Give me those three days, Starbuck, before ye make any deal with Reynail. Meself, I*ll be settin* a flea in Chris's ear which, it may be. will hatch some fish for ye before the three days are up. Should it not, then take over RcynaU’s surplus—if he has one I Will ye do me thetas a favor?” “11l do it. Captain." Kemp smiled suddenly and got up, extending his hand. “And now, perhaps you can do me a favor, sir.” “Put a name to it, me boy." “Um scheduled to make a shipment on the T.K.K. liner sailing from Seattle in five days. Because of the strike, that shipment’s still here on my wharf. The only way I can land it in Seattle on time is to get it aboard the freighter Makari, southbound out of Juneau tomorrow afternoon." "But the MakarCt not calling at Sitka." "How well I know it!" Kemp Smiled ruefully. “1 thought they Would, if 1 made it worth their while, so I sent Ikeda to Juneau by plane early this morning to arrange lL He just wired back ho hasn’t been able-—” “Ikeda I" the Captain snorted Scornfully. “Well, ’tis too late to fix it up now. Why the divil didn't ye Mme to me sooner?" Kemp flushed. “I didn’t think fast enough, sir. But it just struck me He might load the cases aboard the Tanya, and have her meet the Maian in Juneau. And. since yon have susineea there anyway, I thought rou might go along and—er—exert i bit of influence, if needful.* He irehed his eyebrows inquiringly. The Captain nodded. "It could be lone, if ye get busy at once with the oadin*. The Tanya must haul out >n the beach for a tide or two, but he Windflowar will serve as well, fe’d best start your men loadin’ »r, right away." “Then you’ll do it, sir’" "Aye. Well sail from here about aven this evening, and be in Juneau purteen hours later. Consider it x»ne, me boy!" He looked sharply at Kemp, who till lingered uncertainly by the able. “Well, well!” he said testily. Ye’ve got about everything ye aked for, Starbuck. Why, then, do « stand there lookin’ as if ye’d just een yorr best friend dumped over he side?" • a a o Kemp left the Captain sitting at is table, and descended the stairs s the reception room. He started for the front door, auomatically searching ‘ his pockets or bis cigarette case. Failing to nd it, he whirled irritably about, nd swore under his breath. “Darn I lust have left it upstairs." He went back up the steps, his set making no sound on ths thick srpeL But at the top hs halted bruptly and stood staring through aa partly open door of the Capsin’s sitting room. Ths aperture ras just wide enough to show i’Moore at his tabls, with the model f the Glory drawn close up before im. Sunlight fell on his bent silery head, on the Lilliputian ship—nd on a full-length plank, pulled traight out from the tiny vessel’a axil, revealing a shallow drawer. The Captain, with a look of comlet* satisfaction on his old face, •ft*d several pieces of folded trae8g linen from the drawer and, after yspecting each one briefly, replaced l Then he gentlv pushed the yawtr inward until, with an auible click, the plank snapped back ato place. Kemp’s faea was a mirror of dxed emotions aa he realised what e had, inadvertently, spied upon, faking no sound, ho turned and urriad from the house, his cigsltt« case forgotten. * • • “I promised Starbuck fish, end pq’ve been swampin’ him with later-hauls and excuses.

But you can’t even—" "Dam it, Cap’n!" Chris was almost in tears. "Rcynall's got all those fish in Shaman’s Lagoon to draw on; besides—” “And why has ho got ’em?" O’Moore'* fist banged the table. “Because you couldn’t see past your now. Mister Sandvik. Because he could cripple O’Moore’s whole fleet, smack under the eyes of O’Moore’s dumb fleet commander! That's why his hell-dredged lagoon is now burstin* with herring. But Dan O’Moore’s boats must go empty — and all because his fleet boa* hasn’t nerve enough to fill ’em. Bah I" “All right! A!! right!" Chri* leaped to hi* feet and pounded the table. “I’ll show you whether I’ve got nerve or not! I’ll bring Starbuck his fish—or nobody else will!" With that he slammed out of the room. a a a a Sondra and her grandfather were about to sit down to an early dinner, when the Forest Man appeared. He had just come from Cap* Edgecombe, ha said, and he brought a basket of wild strawberries for Sondra. Though his clothes were travelstained, and ho looked aa if he needed sleep, be yielded to Sondra's coaxing and stayed to dinner. Delighted to have a new and appreciative audience, tho Captain talked at length of bls letter from the Secretary of the Navy, tho recent strike, the turn of circumstance which wss taking him now into Juneau. In rare spirits, he prolonged the meal until Alexander brought hi* bag and reminded him, “The Windflowtr, air, to whistling for you." The Forest Man went down with Sondra to see the Captain off. They found Kemp nervously pacing his float, where the Windflower lay, ready loaded. Though plainly anxious to see his cargo on its way, Kemp had a smile and a pleasant word for the Forest Man. “Just been admiring the Glory," he said. “I never saw a prettier set of sticks in a ship. You got them out, 1 believe?” “Yes. They’re all dear, straightgrained spruce. Such spars are hard to find, but they’ll ba harder to break." The little group stood silent for a moment, all eyes upon the Glory of tko Weit, lifting the tracery of her new masts and cross-treea high above her snowy hull. “What a beauty she Is I" Kemp exclaimed. His face, for a moment, had lost its harassed look. "It seems a shama her kind had to give way to steam and gas. But then—we moderas must have soecd** 9 “Speed—hah!” the Captain ejaculated. “Give her a fair alant of wind, and the old girl yonder will show clean heels to anything in these waters, I’m tollin’ ya." Kemp smiled dubiously. “She has grand sailing lines, sir. But the Dragon there can reel out her fourteen knots or mors, each hour of the twenty-four.” "Aye, and the Glory will sail three knots to her two —given a wind I Meself, I’ve logged her at nineteen knots, and she with more to give, hsd her masts snd gear been fit to take the strain." “Those masts will take it," the Forest Man said confidently. “I'd gamble they*!! stand more gaff than any pine that ever came out of Oregon.” “So? Belike, we can be testin’ that, sometime." The Captain’s head was tilted back, bis eyes narrowed lovingly upon tbs top-masta of his old command. “I’d reinforce that mizzen backstay, and run a—- — r Ho caught himself up, with a belligerently embarrassed glance at his companion*. “Well, well I I'd best be castin’ off, if we’re to catch thia tide through tho Narrows.” Hs stamped aboard the Windflower, looking very sturdy and lovable, Sondra thought, in his gray suit, with his hat tipped forward aggressively over his eyes, and th* brim turned up behind.
