Charter Members of The Indiana League of Home Dallies Half th<- month lx gone and we Still have quit, a ways to go tu meet the May bond quota. Won't you please make an extra effort next week? -0 The May showers ought to bring a good supply of .lune flowers. We seem to have backed up a month, which Is all right probably if they can hold the frosts off next autumn. —o—o Farmers can still render a great favor by signing a contract to grow heets this year. The planting season is just started and the more we grow the longer the sugar factory can operate next autumn. —o War l< aders estimate the Axis losses in North Africa the past six ■tenths totaled 600.000, killed, wounded and taken prisoner. That's a severe loss for any nation and is sure to have an effect on future efforts. -0 Vice-President Wallace says I henwill never he another war. We sine- rely hope he is right, but unless Ibe world can be remade into a force that follows the Golden Rule and observes the Ten Commandments, we doubt it. —o There seem to be some peoplethank goodness not very many—who are so depressed that they really expect InAatlon, defeats, conBscatii.n. bombings and plaguea of every description and will be disappointed if they don't come. -0 According to the College of Agriculture of K< ntucky. burning of corn stubble and pasture land * injurious to the soil, taking out vegetable matter that prevents moisture holding. Hut the corn borers will be glad to bear that. —o Every aeries E bond you put away now will come in handy after while. An *lB 75 bond will return you *25 In ten years. Won't it be nice for those who are saving one a week now? In 1*53 they will be drawing (25 each week and that's not hay. N it looks like the U-boats are In for rough going now as the Allies use new tactics for fighting them Recently twenty-five of the undersea vessels attacked a west bound convoy and were badly beaten It Is believed that tea of them were destroyed.

| Mr. Landon wants to return to I the good old Hoover days and others suggest going back to the Coolidge policies. Why stop there? We might go back to Washington and Jefferson but times have changed quite a little and “them days are gone forever." -o Few labor leaders are In accord with John L Lewis. Generally they favor the rollback program of Premia Brown of the GPA rather than continuing the circle of play Ing wages against cost yf living. Both should be stablillxod in the opinion of most of the leaders. The Civilian Defense organisations started today on their effort to gather up a million automobile license plates in Indiana. Car owners are requested to remove the front plate and turn it Into a service station. Cal E. Peterson Is chairman of the division for this city. —o Hiller is Inspecting his defenses in every sector but we doubt if he knows any more about them than those who are installing them. Even If the enemy can't get in. the Id-a of waiting to be destroyed from the air certainly isn't a very pleasant one so it’s no wonder that every one is jittery these days. o—o Pounded from three sides by the Russians, the British and the African Allied forces, with even the U-boat campaign bogging and with revolt in every over-run country, with Italy and Balkan states ready to throw in the sponge, the troubles of Mr. Hitler are many and serious. How long can he hold bis once vaunted "world's greatest armies" together and how long can his nation stand up under the terrific strain? It certainly begins to look bad for the Austrian painter. It's easy to say that the next step in the war is the invasion of the European continent but It's perhaps the biggest military project ever undertaken. For several years thia territory has been fortified. mined and otherwise prepared for such an event and just now the Axis la working day and night to make their territory invulnerable. They have taken whippings In North Africa and on the Russian front in order to retain thousands of planes for defense purposes and indications are they will put up a great battle. It will not avail but It will prolong the war. —o Newsmen can only gu-ss on what Is being discussed in the conferences between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill but they are convinced that some of the plans have to do with the war against the Japs. This is indicated. they say. by those called in to the mo- tings. The recent successes in the North African area will make possible shipments of supplies and men and material to Burma and to other points from where a real campaign can be launched. Os course the European front or fronts are being considered but It Is generally believed that the program for that battle ground wa« well made al the Casablanca meeting. —o Tell The Truth: Fifty yearn ago when there was no legal compulsion to tell the truth in advertising. John E Powers startled pecple by telling the truth in Wanamaker and Rogers Peet advertising. For example: if a piece of merchandise was half cotton and half wool, he would tell you so la his advertising. If the goods weren't any good, be d tell you they weren’t anr good. Um day Wann maker's was offering some raincoat* tor two dollars. Powet*' ad said they were no good but they were worth 12. The nest morning a mob crowded the store to bay them. The store had a huge pile <M neckties to sell at 26 cents "Ar* these neckties any good?' Powers asked the buyer. The buyer aatd.

> SYNOPSIS Beautiful Ann Foster was worried when she learned the aale* r force at "Marks-Park Avenue” was tn be reduced after the Christinas i holiday*. Julia, her practical minded sitter, an airline steward*** on th* New York-Miami run, encourage* her to marry wealthy Vince Ogden, but Ann doe* not love him. At their small apartment i the is greeted by Vince and Julia 1 in festive holiday mood. Forge tt ing her worries, Ann join* Vince and Julia oa a tour of the night spot*. The following day at LaGuardia Airport, Julia istroduc** Ann to i. Jim Brent, handsome pilot officer en route to Florida to train cadet*. Later, Ann is offered the opportunity to work at the Miami Beach branch of “Marka-Park Avenue.” Vince, whose yacht, "The Pelican," i* moored off Miami, accompanies her on the South-bound train.

CHAPTER THREE Julia and Ann rented a tiny apartment not far from Lincoln Avenue and the etora. Julia was off duty from Friday night* until Sunday. It was an ideal arrangement. After discreet inquiry. Ann learned that the handsome PilotOfficer Jim Brent was not at OpaLocka. And she was disappointed. It was hard work at the store. But the evenings were fun. The weeks went pleasantly by. Iler cough entirely disappeared. Vince gave parties on Lis yacht She met new people. A new opportunity came to her 1 when one of the blonde model* at | the store quit her job to be married, and the manager selected Ann to take her place. This meant some preliminary training In posture, but Ann —who had bloomed into full health and increased beauty in the warm climate—soon eaught on. She developed all the little tricks and graces of the trained model. The manager, well phased, was soon sending her to show off the store’s loveliest gown* and outfit* at the races, at smart gatherings in the hotel*, at nightclubs, at fashionable benefits for the Red Cross, etcetera. Miami Beach admired the lovely Ann... When one day she received an invitation from the rich and socially prominent Mrs. Avery Willard to a ■ War Relief tea at her ocean-front mansion, Ann know she had achieved success here. Nor did it lessen her anticipation when she learned that Jim Breht was to be at the party. He had returned to Opa- | MNfil Ana swung into her rhumba with Hank Kruger like a spring breese. It seemed as though everyone who lined Mrs. Avery Willard’s great double drawing room sis-deep, paused in their gossip and cocktaildrinking to watch her. | You had to admit that Ann, now groomed to the ultimate, wa* one of ! the loveliest thing* that had ever graced that floor. Which meant i plenty, since the vast Letos IVth I salon certainly had seen some shindigs since the start of the sea son, and thia—dor th* War Relief—was top*.

You also had to admit that if Miami Beach masculinity had the well-known gleam in it* eye for Ann, the supposed gentler aex, particularly around the forties, were—at least some of them—looking avidly at her partner. Sleek, elegant, utterly poised, and the best exponent of the rhumba in Miami Beach, Hank was a panic with the feminine contingent, and the heck what the men thought of him. Aa they moved superbly to the passionate tempo of the music, he gaied at Aaa with smoldering eyes. She was amused, knowing it was done for effsetiveneaa. Under the professional smile of the trained m-xlel, the whispered, wickedly: "Save it for the old gala I I’m made of asbestos!"

Almost as tali a* her partner in her high heel*, Ann wafted her«lf with ineffable grace aeroa* the floor to Mrs. Avery Willard, her hoateM. whose hand was immediately Mixed and kissed by Hank.
