all time. Though wealthy in his own right ho was the great champion of the! i ouiuiou man, a believer in education and founder of the L'niverslty of Virginia During hi* year* as president he reduced taxes and paid off much of the national debt, carrying out his belief that we should pay as wo go. What would this great man do if he were alive and in hi* prime today? Os course no one can answer. Conditions have changed greatly and there are many new problems but it is safe to say that If Th< mas Jefferson were alive today hi would be fighting for America with at! his might. He would realize how much the whole world ha been drawn together and he would be far 100 wise to not recognize the need for taking our full part in affairs, for what happens

in China and Europe and Africa and every where else is sure to quii kiy effect tills nation. He would want hi* America to do her share while not engaging in those things that would entangle us with others. Few if any citizens of this great country. and there have been many, hav.- excelled Thomas Jefferson in wisdom, loyalty and action. We can all profit by a study of hl* eventful career. -0 Get On The Bond Woqon: The campaign is on iu Adams county. We must raise 1730.000 by the sale of government bonds between now and April 30th.

Our sons and relatives and friends and neighbors are in camp*, on ship* or at the battie front*. They need •upport and they will get it. We are ouiluing ships and tanks and planet to give u* the greatest army and navy the world has ever known. By the end of this year we will have them.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN I went down the beach to my dinghy and got in but did not pick up the oars. I sat there, thinking over my situation. The more I thought, the blacker it seemed. Finally Komako climbed Into the boat beside me and sat down, looking aggravating!/ satisfied. •‘Now we can go to work,” he •aid. "We got corpus." "Yes, and a niee m<*s* it puts me ln, I returned glumly. Komako said cheerfully, “You was right *bout Mr*. Delmar." "How?" I roused up with a faint throb of hope. "She could kill him all right—she not even like him." “We've got a motive for her,” I began to reason, “and she wa* seen leaving the sampan. Even a poor housekeeper could have covered up her track* in *uch circumstances." “Look* like. But we got plenty more to think about. Mr. Budd not like to have police here. He is wanting to cover up. For Mrs. Delmar? For himself?" “I tell you, Komako. the whole gang's in on it-though probably only one of them actually committed the murder. The most obvious is the way the doctor and hi* mother shield Elaine." “She awful pretty sweet child,” Komako murmured. “I want to cave her from ugly thing*, too." “Yes, and I can’t see her (sizing that spear and—unless ... I believe Delmar was a rotter where women were concerned. Josephine's a eharming girl, too, and still—" “Josephine ha* got story ’bout Delmar,” Komako broke in. “We got to make her talk—away from her husband.” “You're right. Thornton's elever, but I think we eould get something out of her. What about Thornton, anyway? She gave him reason tor jealousy, the way she acted with Delmar. That triangle may be the key, instead of Mr*. Delmar.” As if reminded by my word, Komako thoughtfully drew the keyring from hi* pocket “Everybody will *sy, like Mr*. Deimar, they never saw key* before. We going to have to try them in trunk* and bag* pretty soon." “Those keys," I said, eyeing them unhappily, “mix everything up. The ■earch of my paper* doesn’t teem to fit in with her purpose of destroying all evidence of murder. It wa* done before *he diipoeed of the body, for I found the keys then." Komako shook hi* head and pat the key* back in hi* pocket “You •ay **he* all time. Must be you thinking Mrs. Delmar, like me. But we got to watch everybody. Hasty. Herb tell awful quick alibi, no? I got to check that with Henry." He jotted it down in hi* notebook and •ent a sidewise glance at me. “What you think ’bout that girl with scarf* "Turva Massie? Why. I don’t know. At least, she didn't accuse me. Th* women have all ben more friendly than the men.” “You not see her look st me, them white eyes all eold, when I ask questions? She measure me for bow smart I •m.” “Well, who didn’t** I asked him. “But you apparently satisfied them that you were juH a dumb cop." Komako grinned eomplaeently. "The’* best way... Say, what we fooling *round here for?" He leaped to the sand and began striding up

Advocates Extension Os Trade Agreements Urges Safeguards To Aid Producers Washington. Apr. 13.~(UPl—The foreign commerce commitee of the United Sta'r* Chamber of Commerce advocates a three-year extension of the reciprocal trade agreements act. The committee, in a public statement. says the exteuslon would serve to support a more reasonable and less restricted international commercial policy. The statement adds it would help to eliminate causes that might disturb International relations. The Chamber of Commerce committee urges what it calls adequate safeguards to go with trade agreement extension. Buch safeguards. It declares, ahould consist of provision by ample public notice and

toward the high hedge. "I got a feeling to talk to Misa Turva," ho said as I caught up with him. I went along silently, hating more interviews until we had something definite to go on. Then, just as we were about to step through an opening in the hedge, we heard women’s voices on the other side of it. Komako held me back. Ono of the voice* was Turva’*: “I know, Gwen, it’* ghastly. But what else are we to think?" Gwen Rawson’* English Intonation was unmistakable: "But Gerald says this Hoyt is definitely not capable of killing. You know, Gerald is well up on that sort of thing." "I know he read* detective Action." There was a note ot derision in Turva’* voice. "Well, he know*!” Rawson'* wife declared confidently. “He say* th* murder is obvious. You know better than I do about Delmar’s dealing with the native*—" “Stop!" Turva's tone was sharp. “You shan’t even suggest the flaws! i»ns—" “Now, my dear! You’ve taken an extraordinary interest in them, teaching Henry and Mary English and all that. But, after all. native* are natives when fish spears are handy and they’ve a grudge. I’ve seen them all over the world." “If you and Gerald,” Turva said with suppressed fury, “start messing up the lives of those sweet people, I'll never forgive you!" She evidently started away on that, because Mrs. Rawson called, “I say, wait a mo!" and her voice grew fainter as the two women retreated : “Turva, I believe you know •omething—you’re shielding them! But isn’t that deucedly unfair to a white man... Komako and I looked at eaeh other. “Yeah," he said finally, “eould be she is shielding somebody. Tha's what I felt.” “Then of course you’ll investigate the Hawaiians and what Delmar did to them? She said a grudge—" “Sure, sure.” He thought deeply and then his face cleared and he slapped his leg heartily. “Shame to me tor forgetting! You promise can salmon if they go diving. What they going to thinkf ’ He started swiftly back to the shore. H« had promised my canned ■almon, and I felt no great desire to reward the fishermen for bringing up Delmar's body and putting me in a spot, but I followed. I mw him approach the group on the beaeh, shouting cheerfully in his own language, and tingle out Henry. Henry, in turn, pulled a Soung girl from the crowd and omako made a great fuse over her. She was a lovely thing, one of those shy yet friendly young creature* whose unspoiled Mtaralaee* is truly Hawaiian. “This is Mary, Hasty ” Komako explained. "Mokino's granddaughter. She waa almoet baby when I saw her—and what you think?— now she is Henry’s girl!” Hs rosrsd st Henry’s bashful face. The girl’s bronxs cheeks flushed •lightly but her dark eyes beamed with pride. She sa d shyly, "Thank you for the salmon." “Her and Henry eomfng out to ret it,” Komako informed me, sendtoff the dinghy into the water. "Cem*. come, Hasty " The girl sprang into a eanoe with Henry and they seemed to think it
