Cut those weeds before they get to be a public unisance, —o Get the old rod and reel 011-d up. you can go after those blue gills and bass neat Monday. <* -w Politic* ought to take a vacation for a while until this nation la really prepared for defense, Thai's surely the most important thing for all of us and leaders should recognise it. O—O The country got through the spring without great flood*, aa usual at this tim. of year but the old Ohio went on a rampage after oue week of rain and did a tot of damage in the vicinity of Marietta, Ohio. —o—o You can get that birth certificate in Adams county with but tittle effort and at the smallest cost reported In the state and It's a good thing to have, as malty have discovered recently. The county clerk will tell you about it if you are Interested. * Patronize those who advertise in your local paper. They are the outsiandlng merchants and because they do the largest volume of business, can offer you the most for your money. Watch this paper and trade by its advertisements. It will save you time and money. —o Hope you drove carefully over the week-end. It’s so easy to be careless and to let the car get up to excessive speed Obey elgnals. watch the other drivers- stop at the lights and at the signs and keep mi your own side of the road, giving attention to the yellow lines. Save some money now while you are doing well. Invest It In defense bonds and some day when yon ran buy some particular piece of real eslale you want at a bargain you will have the money with interest. Many men who are well-to-do have made their money that way. O—O A Dunn and Bradstreet representative who has just completed a survey of Decutur report* that business is In the best condition in years and that merchants all show gains. That’s good news for s prosperous community Is always more Interesting than a slow going one. o o Bobbie Poller, greatest baseball pitcher in th* business, who has won an nvau dozen games tor the Clsvsland Indians, has bona called tor service and will have to report in August That’s going to tie s blow to his team and they bad better get well oat in front if hope to coast through to the pennant victory.

Dr. Allan Dafoe, who became famous over night, when he brought the quintuplet* Into the world. Is recovering after a recent severe operation. The news Is pleasing to millions who are hop Ing and praying that under his watchful rare, the girls may grow Into womanhood. They have a good atari. O - o Leading union men of the nation, realising how serloua Is a continued strike in Industries, have taken the wise position In advising settlement of the walkouts and strikes In the western coast ship yards, airplane factories and luniti er ramp*. If the men do not return to work or permit others lo do so. the government can only take over. It ha* been hoped this wouhl not be necessary but It may be. An automobile was badly wrecked In Chicago and permitted to remain on the street. Boy* playing around it tossed a lighted match into the frame. It touched off the gasoline tank with results that you would expect, but the boys didn't. Several were Injured and the parents of one Hied suit. A court has just awarded them 110.000 damagiw on the theory the wreck should have been removed from the street before It attracted the attention of the hoys. If (he G. O. I’, wins the supreme court decision as to the validity of the 1937 statute regarding license bureaus, who will appoint? State Chairman Bobbitt say* he will and Jim Tucker, secretary of etate. who want* to run for governor, says he will attend to that little Job. thus creating an organisation that would be something for Senator Jcnner and the others to combat. Think they could compromise on Bd Blent, Democrat, now in charge of the department? O—O The men in camps are receiving • very possible atlention to make them comfortable aud healthy. The joint army and navy committee of the government points out that this Is being done by the army and navy, the Red Cross, the federal security agency, local recreation and hcallh council*, Pulled Service Organisation and the citizen's committee. They have provided theaters, gyms, day rooms, service clubs- guests bouses and chapels and these are lotmtantly being Improved. Whatever yon may hear, the boys are belug well cared for in every way. Four years ago Governor Town* -end and Thurman Gotlschalk. welfare administrator, began a search to find and classify every crippled child In the stale under 21 years of age. Civic organisation* and woman dubs assisted and today there is on flic a list of 8,210 boys and girls to whom are offered treatment and special services. Medical centers for them have been established at Fort Wayne. South Bend and Indianapolis and last year more than 3.000 received treatment. The work Is going on and Mr Gotlschalk estimates there are 14.000 eligible* 111 the atate. It's a splendid, modern work. ——O—O ■" 1 ■ Mr. Spangenberg. in the "best commencement address" of the year, recommends that graduate# Aral determine whether they are moat interested in agriculture, a profession, building, manufacturing. selling or flnance and then gel into one of the following twelve lines, which seem to offer the greatest opportunities tor the class of 1941: aviation, television, air conditioning. cbemlcsla, alloys and plastics, automatic machinery, merchandising, household equipment, investment banking, gasoline and tires, automobiles and accessories or rsal estate and building.

Ho of necessity rather than choice, the British attached. General Waved undoubtedly was reluctant to tie up so many men and planes In Ihe north when they may lie aorely needed In Africa. That la how the Myrbtii campaign lies In so closely with the lAhyan. There has been no major activity In Libya for days, ft Is possible that Hitler Is gathering hla forcea for a smashing drive. The occupation to Crete places him much closer than Sicily to the Tobruk area, making (he transport of troop* and supplies by air or sea considerably easier. The withdrawal of th< 4 German air forcea from Hlclly, announced by the Italian*, probably means that they have gone to Crete. Simultaneously, heavy bombing attacks have been made on Alexandria. Britain's chief naval base and guardian of Suez. The bombers most probably came from Crete.

CHAPTER ONE COINS jingled opulently In Mr. Howard Nevins's pocket aa he tossed a half-dollar to tha expectantly grinning Chinese bellboy who murmured thanks. After quite uselessly rearranging sundry battered and belabeled bar* and rod and gun cases, the boy slipped out, dosing the door behind him. For an insunt, Nevins... a lean figure with rest lea* eye* and what looked like a silent mouth ... stood in the renter of hia room, peering out at Honolulu’s curtoualy polyglot architecture. He started a little when the room telephone began to shrill with truly American impatience. A surprised frown creased Nevins’s high brown forehead as h* caught up the receiver. Who the devfl could this bet Surely couldn’t be any of the steam, er crowd already. •Hello," he said. “Ia this Mr. Howard Nevlnat* It waa a woman’s voiea... deep, musical, and yet matter-of-fact “Yea. What can I do for you?" “Nothing for me; but much for yourself," cams tha cryptic reply. 1 do not think yon are going to like Hawaii." Howard Navlna** muscular hand tightened gradually over the receiver. “Are you aure,” he inquired, “that I am the Mr. Kevins yoa want?" A low, vibrant laugh Bounded In hi* ear. “Oh, beyond any question. I have been informed very authoritatively on U>e subject." Slowly, certain muacles drawn neroaa tha newcomer’* lean cheek* began to tighten, and hia gray-blue •yae fined themselves on the wall before him. “To whom am I Indebted for this interesting bit of soothsaying?" “I am aomaone who wishes to avoid nnnscaasary unpleaaantnam. Ba a wise man, Mr. Nevina. Take my adviee and go back aboard tha MaUU. lam aure—in fact, lam positive-—that you would not enjoy Hawaii." Nevins’s voice copied the seatlbentering tone of the unknown. "On the contrary," he replied, “I am beginning to like it Mystery appeals to a* ■ and you represent mystei*." “You’re wrong, Mr. Nevins," said tha voice, and n curiously indefinable menace dominated It, “I represeat tragedy. You must go.” “I’m afraid noL" replied the oecupant of Room 1999. "I really mast •ee more of this charming island." “AU that you are likely to see," the unknown woman warned, “la tha inside of a chiliad room at Triplar General’s... morgue." Thus ha waa somewhat prepared for tha shock her neat words gave him. “Your friend, Major Cross, ended there, and another friend es yours may also." “Too bad about Jerry Cress, wasn’t it!" he commented calmly. ”1 never believed that suicide theory, you know." “Then, monsieur, you are stupid*r than I have been led to believe. Please take my word far it, Mr. Nevins, you have arrived too lata. If you persist in interfering with my arrangement*, it will simply ba a case of ‘good-bye,’ or ‘eayo-nar*,’ as the Japanese any." "Decent of you to translate tha word," tha traveler murmured, “otherwise It would have worried me." "Hihur tha voico at Uw far oad *f the phone sounded almost mournful. “I had ao hoped yoa would bo reasonable." “I am reasonable —in fact I’m famous for my rtaaonabltnoss." “But you era not, which is a pity; for new I shall have to have you killod." “Evor hear of Mark Twain’* receipt for chicken pet pie?" “Comment/" “First you catch the chicican " Citek want the receiver, sad How-
