Tin old slogan: “We must win the war, all else is chores’* is still good. We <an help most by buying bonds. O—O The war will end sooner if our statesm* n and near-statcamen quit talking politics for six or eight monhs and attend to the business at hand. —O—O Put away another bond this we. k. It will help meet the July quota, help the boys win the war sooner and be a handy document to have around some day. —o Italy could save lives and valuable property If they would listen to the radio from Allied centers or read the pamphlets being distributed from the air. and then assist in ending the war. —o The average person doesn't f< el comfortable these days if he Is living by the standard of normal times. When he thinks what a great Job the boys who get fifty dollars a month are doing, hv doesn't want It too easy. O—O Don't gossip or help spread rumors. Most of the things you hear have little if any truth. If you see evidence of sabotage or the presence of enemy agents, get word to the FBI. Tln-y have done a great Job, aided by local, county and state police officers and will continue to do so. O—O A Chicago real estate broker estimates that prices on farm lands in the middle west have increased an average of 25 r <- In some sections it Is much larger hut the average covers a dozen or more states. Many who have made tinusual profits during the war period arc Investing in the "good ■artb’’ as the safest place to put their money. —o oManufaclurers announce that they now are making synthetic tires that run 37.000 miles at sixty miles per hour.

Looks like they will have tires soon that will do every thing but change themselves. O—O Retail stores and small shops Will have their most difficult time the nest few months The labor and material ahortage is probably at its peak and soon will start the other way. in the opinion of expert bnsine.s heads. In the meantime. For a copy of Decatur Daily Democrat go u Loo« Bros. Restaurant illk_2 €

some may be forced to operate part time or close for the duration. The public should cooperate with the merchants and others during these trying, strenuous days. O—O Harrison Spangler, national G. O. P. chairman Is good. He announces that the Republicans will elect a president next year by 1,700,000 I majority. He doesn't know who their candidate will be or what he i will stand for but that doesn't stop him from "whistling." After all the people will decide 11, after they i have the issues and the candidates | and Spangb r or no other "crystal i gaxcr” can foretell the results at this time. O—O Fort Wayne If. going to make an ■ ffort to solve their sewer problems. Os course what will be rej quirt d is more sewer capacity to take care of three and four inch rains, to which this section seems now to be favored. The committee in charge. Fred B. Shoaff, chairman. will no doubt find It one of those problems that has many answem, most of which are guesses. If the one selected works, they will b. given much credit, but if It do-sn't Oh boy! O—O When the war is over and the hoys come marching home we will again hear requests and demands front the citizens in general for a memorial. What will It be? We have already heard suggestions of a hospital addition that will provide accomodations for the increasing demands. Th, present Adams county Memorial hospital was dedicated to the honor of the boys of 17 and 'IM and It would seem appropriate to erect a second world war building that would meet all increased needs. o—o Reports from over the county Indicate that great damage has been done to the crops. While it can't be figured in dollars and cents accurately, it is feared the crop will be almost cut in two as a result of the rain and wind storms. Adams county has always been one of the dependable ones but seems to have been among the unfortunate areas on distribution of rain this year. Corn, wheat, oats, beans, sugar beets and all other crop* have been given a serious set-back and In many places wiped out. Crop insurance may come in handy thia year. "The Demo< ratio party during the next eighteen months faces a long. hard, tedious and most important job." according to Mrs. Charles W. Tillet. assistant chairman of the Democratic national committee, in Indiana for a series of three meetings this week. "At a time when the thought and energy of every patriotic American must Im- given without stint to the war eSort, and when the Dvmocerotic administration In Washington. to win the war. is obliged to impose restrictions and to ask for Mcrlflcrs that cannot always be immediately explained, our party must maintain and strengthen its organization." O—O If you are single and receiving more than 52.700 per year, or married and receiving more than 53.5 mt you are required to tile an Income lax report by September 15th. Farmers do not tile until December 15th. In the September return you must rot I mate your income for ths year and state the taxes you paid in March and June. If the amoun' paid is not auffic.ent to cover the year, then yo* must pay the differences in two installments. September 15th and December 15th.

Five Connersville Factories Struck 1,600 Workers Are Reported Off Jobs Connersville. Ind.. July 21—(UP) Five Connersville war plants are shut down this morning as 1.500 workers remain off the job in two strikes over wage disagreements. There apparently is no relationship between rhe two work atoppagan And in neither case have the issues at stake been clarified for public release. Four plants of the Me Quay-Nor-rial manuafacluring company—employing 1.200 workers-atopped operation- yesterday when a strike in the inspection division spread into a general walkout. The stoppage reported is sanctioned by the local union of the CIO united auto workers union. General manager L. T. Cummings of Me QuayNorris said last night that no negotiations between the company and the Union were underway at that time. Four-huodred workers at the Steel Kitchens corporation plant are idle in what Is described as an unauthorized strike. They are members of another UAW local. A company spokesman - who declined the use of his name—said that workers long have wanted higher pay and better working conditions. o - — Crippled Fortress Returned To Base v Pilots Refused To Abandon Controls A Flying Fortress Base In England.

CHAPTER TWENTY On Thursday night Lynn earns to dinner. His cocktail was waiting, the lighted fire, and Mary, in a long sheer wool frock, with her hair brushed a new way and her serenity. He said, on a long breath, "Lord, this is good!** After dinner, sitting by the fire, ; ,he said, breaking a lung silence, "I’ve never spoken ..." / |J Mary looked up, from her own thoughts. "You've never spoken of . what?" Then she knew and put out her hands quickly as if to ward 'off a blow. "Oh, don't," she said, "please don't, Lynn, please don't spoil things!" ■ He said heavily, “If, to speak would spoil anything, then, my dear, you do not care for me at all." > "1 do!" Her eyes ware shining, and sad. "Matthew, you, Irene. You throe are my whole life." ♦ Lynn said, hopelsssly, "I went up to see Nan yesterday. Rita went ' too. I begged her not to ... she disturbs Nan very much. But we went because Nan hasn’t been as well physically of lata. She is better now, quite restored. Her heart is good." Ho added, after a moment, "How brutal this sounds ... but she may live for years. The doctors said Just that Mentally she is much worse. She did not know mo, Mary." Hs was staring at the fire. "It has been so long ... 1 hare loved you so long a time, without disloyalty. Because for over twenty years Nan has not been the woman I loved and married, but a scroumIng stranger. I have loved you and taken what comfort 1 could la the fact that I may see you, may touch your hand and listen to your voice ... what comfort I eould in knowing that you lived, that ws walked under the same sky, on the same streets, and breathed the same air. But... it is not enough. Yet even if you felt as 1 do—and you do not, I know it, do not look at me so, there io no need to tell mo—even if you did, there is no other way but this way. Only sometimes when I am very tired it seems such a waste. 1 would ask nothing more of life than this, to be with you, to grow old with you, Mary-" She was crying, a little. She said, "Dear Lynn .7? > "I know. Forgive me, and I won’t speak of it again, I promise. Only there are moments which come sud- , oenly, one cannot anticipate them er evade them. In such momenta ! the barriers fade and one is compelled to speak." f Ho was siioat and she looked at him in sudden wonder. She bad been so fond of him always, from the very first Mary had known for a long time that he loved her. and had deeply respected his silence. • had been grateful for it But she I had not iamgined—- ► Something stirred In her. a vain !

“Never mind. Kate, I’ll go,” and 1 moved toward the instrument. Lynn watched her go. She walked beau- i tis tally, No girl in her first, lovely, careless youth moved with such i grace and dignity. Mary picked up the telephone. She said, “Yea ... who h it?’’ Her I face changed. “Matthew! But 1 i didn't recognise...” She was silent, listening, and Lynn watched all the i color drain from her Ups and face aa if she were bleeding to death in- i ternaily. Ho rose quickly and went across the room to put his hand on her shoulder; she felt him there, waiting, a rock of strength. She asked, “How bad!** Then, “111 come, at once. Lynn's here. He’ll come too.** Mary dropped the telephone and Lynn picked it up, restoring it to the cradle. She said, her lips moving as if they were stiff, "It’s Irene, there’s been an accident She's in the hospital... Kate!’* But Kate was there with Mary’s coat hat and bag. “Is she at Lister!" asked Lynn. "Yes." He said, “My ear’s outside. Wo can make it quickly." in the car they were silent Then Mary said, “But things eon't end this way." Her voice was sheer rebellion and incredulity. Lynn asked gently, "Could ho—did he tell you anything!" “Just thore’d been an accident In the ear. She was driving .." "Good grief!'' said Lynn, "driving? Was Matthew out of his mind!” Ho eould feel Mary stiffen beside him. She did not answer. They reached the great hospital, parked, found their way to a waiting room. Everyone was very kind. Dr. Norman’s mother. Dr. Norman's mother... And Dr. Norman’s wife ... They waited, and Mary thought! As long as I live I will never forget anything in this room. The chains, the pattern of the upholstery, the curtains. The desk over there and ths prints on the walk Thorooooin a vase... It was a long time before they mw Matthew. When they did, they did not know him for an instant. Bn was stooped, old, haggard, a man completely dbtraughu He came shambling in and his mother rose and took him in her arms. After a white Matthew drew himself, away, murmuring, “It*s bad, mother.” Lynn said, “Sit down ... berr" He guided him to a ehair and Matthew slumned into it his hand over his face. Presently ho began to talk MMfk *1 was working at the office " the voung physician said. “When it WOO time to teaw I had a call ... a patient en the Island. I thought the air might do Irene good. It had stopped snowing, you see. I called the garage but they had no one te send. So 1 called her. It’s such a little way. I said. 'Bring the car over, it will eave time all around. Wrap up well and well drive out togothor. if you tori up to it*... She said she did." After a while he went-mt. “It was such a little way. Bet she clodded. Perhaps she tank a corner too fait.
