Renewal of the visitors ban on certain parts of the English coast causes speculation of an early jump-off from England to the continent. The Americans are dosing in on Randazzo in Sicily and the Americans and British have made a junction on Mt. Etna s slopes. Allied troops now can see the Italian mainland from their Sicilian lines. The Russians are attacking Kharkov strongly and are making new gains in the drive on Bryansk. American troops have opened the battle for Balroko Harbor. last Japanese base on New Georgia island. The War Food administration predicts that production controls will be lifted on all food and feed crops in the 1844 program. The only crop restraint to remain is that on tobacco. o —— * LATEST NOTES OF * REPPERT SCHOOL a —♦ It would probably be agreed among ihe Repperl auetion school | •tudents If we should say that every day Is becoming more and more Interesting aa the class work progresses. The boys have gotten over their attacks of buck fever or stage fright ax we like to think of that feeling in the pit of the stomach when we think about facing a large crowd for the first time. We are indebted to you people of Decatur for your attendance at our street corner salon. We hope they have been as entertaining aud profitable to you as they have been helpful to us. it has often been said that experience is the best teacher, and we appre date this experience a great deal more than we can tell in a few glycerin and then washed in the usual manner.

- CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX Judith flew west within the next few dayx. She found Eva thin and pale but, according to the doctor w hom she secretly Interviewed, organically sound. He said gravely, “I think it has been hard for her to adjust herself. And she misses you very much, Mrs. Normaa.” Before Judith returned, she had a long talk with her mother. She said, "Do give it up. darling, and come back east and live with us... I'd love iL” Eva shook her head. “No ~. It's out of the question. I couldn't change my plans now, there's Marion to consider.” "But why won’t you? We have plenty of room and then there's tbe . new house, you'd love it; you could be there all summer, every summer.” ' * "My dear,” her mother said and 1 smiled faintly, "much as I'd like to ’ be with you, it’s against my principles. Younr people should be alone. And Matthew wouldn't like it at all.” » "Did Matthew ever say—?” w Her mother cut in hastily, "Not exactly. But oace, before Ella died, he did mention something/* To dismiss the unpleasant detail, Judith declared, "Then well compromise, shall we? If you don’t want to face aa eastern winter, how about eoming east in the spring, you and Cousin Marion, and taking an apartment or a hotel suite? Then we could see each other every day. I de miss you so!" Eva's eyes were bright with tears. She said, "Well, perhaps that would wort out It was good of you to come. You're euro Cousia Marion hasn’t been worryir< you?” "Os course not I wanted to be with you on your birthday.” "Anyway, you ean see I’m all right,” her mother told her. “I suppose I was overtired. I think well go to Honolulu. And perhaps when wo return ... It’s a temptation,” she confessed. ”1 love the spring m New York.” • Judith flew back after ten days. Watching tbe checkered landscape beneath her, her mind preoccupied with her awn situation. It wasn't dramatie, it wasn’t at nil the sort of qusrrei or difference of opinion er misunderstanding thst made headlines, that would seem important to other people. How eould she explain it to anyone, to Matthew, to herself? Everything on which they eould not agree would .Mem so trivial to most people.

Oh. a hundred little things. *You couldn't add them up. could you. and make a sensational sum? She thought: Tbe whole thing io Jeet that we are lovers and we aren’t friends. Mary was at the airport to asset her. Matthew, she expiaiaed, was hu.y at the hospital, so she was his welcome by prosy. As they drove to the apartmmtt. Mary ashed “How is Eva?

The judging of dairy cattle was un der the direction of Roy Hiatt of Portland, who gave an Interesting discussion on dairy types, and with the use of IHustrsted charts, traced clearly the component parts of perfect dairy cattle. As one boy was heard to say. "1 didn't know there were that many p|rt» to a eow” The school days are full of new experiences to every student, and it Is hard to believe that one week's training should have such a marked effect on their outlook on their fellow men.
