O_O What has become of that Mr. Ilesa who made an uninvited visit to Hcotland a few weeks ago and hasn't been beard of since? I*on't honk your auto born early In the morning or late at night unless absolutely necessary. Why annoy people if you can avoid It? —o Wonder if we will ever reach the time when peace will rule the world again and when we can plan, work and act normally. Wouldn't that be somethßig? —o American a< wsmen will not he permitted to visit Iceland until so invited by that nation but they will probably find some ■ arrier pigeon method of getting the news. —o The effort In congress to keep draftees in service for longer than th, one year of training will meet plenty of opposition. It's important that the government keep its contract. o—o The dispute over just where the hemisphere Ihic is in the Atlantic reinlnde of us how little we really know We couldn't have come within a thousand miles of guessing It and we don't feel entirely clear about it yet. o—o The Allison company at Indianapolis has received a nice little order of fifty million dollars for the famous air-cooled engines made there It's a branch of General .Motors and is expanding rapidly these days. —o Rulers and dictators over In Europe have learned not to talk unless absolutely necessary. It's scllon that counts. Any way If they talk it doesn't get on the radio or out of the room where the conversation occurs. O—O Wksat harvest Is nearing the close in Adams county and the yield is the best in years, according to reports now coming in. Many farmers will have thirty to forty bushels per acre yield, which sounds like the good old days. — o O There is considerable discussion about whether or not American war ships will return fire if attacked by U-boats or other armed ships. What would you eipact them to do? Sneak off and hide? It's probably up to the captains of the boats. w It’s dangerous at any time to drive your oar at a high rate of speed and particularly so when on a state road traveled by many can. Any thigg c*a happen gad doos each day as recorded in the reports

of accidents. Take a little more Hine and get to your destination. - - O 0- — • Latest announcement from Hiller is he will* win the Russian war In six weeks and that new forces are now brill* brought up to do the job In the meantime he seems to be slipping In Asia. Africa and tie western front und the Russians make loud claims. —o Young men who think they are qualified to join the navy can get valuable information by tailing at this office for one of the pamphlets issued by Frank Knox, secretary of the navy. It tells you about every thing you want to know of life in the V. H Navy. —o The biggiwt general crop In many years Is lie p.ediction today by expert agriculturists. Hold at a fair I price as It will no doubt be, it will add to the prosperity of thia nation and provide a surplus that In the next few years may be even more valuable than now. ea The defacing of the beautiful peace monument in the court house yard should lie promptly stopped and the officers will be on the lookout for those who are thus causing permanent damage to this shrine. If It's adults I hey should be severely punished and If It Is being done by children they should tie taught the wrong of such acts. O—O The New York Post wants the United Htates to declare wsr mi Germany and Is advocating It in first page editorials. Just what advantage could thus be gained certainly is not dear. The people do not favor such a dec duration at this time and c ongress will probably not vote R. We hope ths* time never comes alid doubt if It does unless the country is attacked. —o The c ominittee in charge of collecting Hinds with which to pay the premiums to farmers and 4-H clubs at the street fair and agricultural show, reported excellent response. Indication* are that they will be entirely successful and that this Important |>art of the plans will be complete in a day or two. Other committees are bard al work and the outlook is bright tor a big,

happy week. Il starts the 26th. O—o W( join with those who argue that th*- automobile is being and haw for a long time been overtaxed. For years the car was considered a luxury hut now It is certainly a necoaslty for millions and should be so listed by the tax rate makers. Each time there is a boost, thM commodity Is first on the list until the taxes cm a car are far out of proportion to other things. Isn't it about lime some smart law makers gave the people a break on his automobile by putting a brake on taxes. O—o Claude Foley of Erie, Pa., spent the Fourth in Hamshire, 111., a little town In Kane county. Foley got lorn some and homesick, so bo imbibed freely. He tried to be friendly but the decent people there turned a cold shoulder. Finally becoming des pa rale Foley walked up to a mule and kissed him. The mule became embarrassed, kicked a bystander and the town constable grabbed Foley and look him to jail The Judge gave him three weeks in the Jug to permit his affections to cool off.

LET S GO FISHING Now is the thne for ail good fishermen to come to the aid of rhelr sport. Between wars abroad, politics at home, the cares of the world and “the deceit fulness of riches." there Is nothing quite so restful as taking a box of hooks, a hank of line, a can of worms and a pole.—to go fishing. Home people like to put a lot of money into poles, reels and lures, while others Just go to the nearest thicket and cut a handy sapling, kick out a few snails or beetles for bait from under a ne.ci'by stone, and fish. It really does not make much difference w-hl< h system yon use the sport is the thing.—lt's the catching of the fish that counts. Tide and Weather But. aS every fishermalt knows, a fish is a temperamental critter. Hornettm<-a he will snap at anything that slitters, and sometimes not even the king of worms could tempt him Io bite. There didn't seem 10 be any rime or reason to the mcxula of a fish until somebody hit on what seems to he the answer to the riddle, tide and weather. Some flaherusen seem to have always known that tide and weather make fish bite, -but they kept the secret to themselves, believe me. they did! We recall one friend, a steel worker, who used to fish in rhe Monongahela river, and that fellow just about never failed to come home with a mess of fish He would go out at all hours of day or nlghi. and he seldom made a mistake In bis timing But no icody could ever pry out of him what he perceived, and why one* time was better than another for fishing. But now science has a word to say, probably only a hint toward what the real truth to. but anyhow. a step. Science says that eyery fish has a big bubble of air In.gide him. and this buMtle is our

Bailors in submarine boats assert that their best manometers. that to some extent perform the Mine function as the airffiladder-nervex of a fish, are crudu. compared with the feelings of a fish. It appears that when pressure in the water rises the fish know it instantly, and then they come out to feed Unmet lines this rise in pressure is due to the tide, tEvery body of water has a tide, although if the Imdy is small, the tide Is microscopic.) Sometimes this rise In water pressure is due to clear cool polar air passing overhead- the air of a fine day, for short. in sail water, the tide is usually the biggest factor In fishing. Com mercial fishermen often find the Hine of bright full moon, when ■both tide and weather are stimulating the fish, la the best time al all. In fresh -water the tider, are always smaller, and und weather are the big fishing faotore. Bcience soya that when the barometer Is rising fastest, and the air Is growing cool and clear, you had bettor bait the book and start fishing. Barometer Plene end 1941 Fishing Chert Now. fishermen, we were never

the fellowe to keep a good thing to ourselves. Prof. Selby Maxwell has prepared plans for making a fine little home-made barometer, at a cost of only a few pennies. This barometer will really predict fishing weather and other kinds of weather, too. He has also printed a fishing chart for the summer of 1941. showing the weekly periods <>f high and low tide. All who want copies of these Interesting and valuable Items may have them FREE, with the compliments of thin newspaper Just address your request to Prof. Relby Maxwell, care of this newspaper, enclosing a stamped 43c). self-ad-dressed enevelope for your reply. Weather Questions Q Is It true that when the flies bite. It will rain? L. J. 11l A. Yes. This Is true. Before a storm comes th« air pressure falls, and odors exude Flies smell us better as air pressure falls, they find us easier, and bite us oftener. Q. What Is the difference between the lime water of the early days and the calcium tablets ot today? J. P—Minn. A. The price, mostly. Mont water will dissolve calcium carbonate. We call the stuff ”h:n I water.** If the water wasn't nufli clently "hard" people used to put lime In it. Nowadays the lime pills are fancier, but |>ossHdy no better. Q. What In the cause of a waterspout? P. N.—Neb. A. A waterspout Is a tornado at sea caused by the meeting of two conflicting winds. Q. What 1s the difference between a tornado and a cyclone? F. B. — N. Y. A. Any rotating indraft of ,i.*r an area of low barometric pressure is called a cyclone. A tornado is a small and very violent cyclone. It is generally associated with a larger low pressure whirl. There may by many tornadoes within the whirl of one cyclone. Q. Will weather for crops be good or bad Uhls year In Texas? L. F. A. Rains have been heavy, and will continue good for most of the summer. Httenoll moisture is good now in Texas, and the soil is even too wet in some places. Q. When the sunset is very red does that mean the following days will be warm? K. H. — Pa. A. Yea. and soon it will be stormy too. This red light shows there is much water vapor In the air. The wind la from the south. It will continue warm, and later It will storm. War Pendulum Three days of this week's weather will be warm and cloudy and will favor the British. Four days will be cool and clear and will favor the Axis. Three days of this week's weather will bo warm and cloudy and will favor the Russians.

MTHE GORGON’S MASK

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE With his nearest approach to a eob in nearly thirty years, the U. S. agent dropped on his knees beside the pitifully sprawled figure. Gently he raised her small, bright head on his lap. One stunned and sickened look told him that not even hope was to be his. “Nadia I” he groaned in anguished helplessness. "Who did it? Karen?" "It was not my people, Hugh," she whispered. "Though I—could have brought them here, and I—l planned to bring them—” “To kill me?" Wearily her eyelids drooped shut. “Yeo—but in the end I—l found 1 eould not—could not kill the one I love best in all the world.” “Your people were near?” “Yeo, I eould have summoned them ... even after I saw that boat with Kanamura in IL" “KcMmura/” The name burst from North's quivering lipa with the foree of an explosion. Her great eyes seemed to plead. “You must listen—beloved of my heart—l—l am going. It Is better that I should—rather than you." Ho groped wildly for words. “You eaw the Jap eoming to kill you and didn’t eall your people? I —I don't understand." "Yes." Her voice grew momentarily stronger. "I knew he and his were coming—to kill me. How they learned of this—place on Kauai—l do not know." She fell silent, her eyelids fluttered drowsily downwards once more. "Nadia! The 0.0. P.U you eould have called them?” . “Y* N*ren and the others were hidden—on that island—farthest across the bay. If I did not show the red blanket by two o’clock, they'd—know you were dead by poison—they could leave—on—on their "You could have called," North repeated dazedly, "even ukex you anew Kanamura was eomteg to kill I —could-have. But, Hugh, men adord, if Karen and the others had come—to Kauai to eave mo—they would havo—killed you, and Khat— l could not fees. Boaul How *» jrowa! Hugh I” He seized her eold hand.

were a pair of scuffed brown sport shoes. Slowly North's gase crept up until it came to rest on the glasslike blaek cym of Hideyo Kanamura. Fury and rage were too puny emotions for North. Shocking were the Japanese'o first words as he stood with a longsnouted Luger pistol dangling at arm's length. "I think, Captain North, that I deserve your thanks.” The kneeling American made no sound, so Kanamura’a thin and penetrating voice went on: "3'm would have betrayed you—" -Quiet I" With that. North sprang up, terrible in his eold rage. “You meddler. You've ruined everything—everything!" Kanamura blinked at the murderously grim white man as one who looks into a strong light "Ruined? No, nol" He held up a placating, explanatory band. "The Fiench girl told me of the mistake I have made so far—please understand—l am now friendly, very friendly, to you." North listened, still half stunned, fearful of wha* hia anguish might drive him to du. “At first Captain, I thought you were in the pay of Polk, Von Rentner, and that Frenchman plotting to plunge my country and youre in disastrous war—then Mademoiselle Renoire showed me the truth.
