It’s Friday, the thirteenth, you know. The "potato scandal" promoted by Congressman laindis blew up in his face and left him holding the empty sack. If the weather man will turn the gas down just a little, the temperaturc will bi- Ideal for summer and the people happier. -0 Adams county people bough* $22,000 worth of bonds the first —w eek. If we pep that up just a little we will make the grade for August. -0 Living costs are going down, according to reports from the OPA. Latest figures show a two per cent reduction this summer, and more is promised. -0 With Sicily cleared of the Maxi fighting forces, the Yanks will probably join with the British to make the "boot" of Italy rather uncomfortable the next few weeks. Senator VanNuys wants the "real Democrats" for him but we take It for granted that If nominated he will accept the votes of any who approve of his eleven year record. O—O—— Two boys, one ten and the other twelve year* old, held up Mrs. Marilyn Phillips at Indianapolis and escaped with 35*>.00. With such a start they nil! probably secure their education In a reformatory. The rumbling of politics for Ittl leads us to believe that there will be an election. It will also be a free and democratic expression of the people. The democracy still liver. Mussolini had 210.000 "black shirtfs" which were really his private guards. They didn’t prove effective when the pinch came. Now it Is reported Hitler is increasing his "storm troopers," bl* personal army, to 500.000. Must be scared. O—O— The city of Anderson is conducting a campaign to secure 50.000 workers to pack the 1913 tomato crop. Public meetings have been held and InVrUSt Is high. It Is expected the canning ptants in Tipton and Madison counties will Pl> cess two million cases of tomatoes. —o The war and the hot weather seem to make every one jittery.

FDR Curtail spending. Put your savings into war bunds every kwl t p»y Jfl y* HB "bust wide open," how do they exL ped us common folk to get along > without offering any complaints? —o I Adams county Is being organ1 Iced for the third bond campaign which starts September 9th. It's a big undertaking but our people will meet It. Last night's organisation meeting showed determination and a wlllingn- ss to work hard. That's what it lakes. An army pilot recently flew across the Atlantic four times lu three days. That may not surprise any one now living in a streamlined world but it will certainly surprise Christopher Columbus If he gets wind of it. He and his crew battled seventy days on their first voyage. —o Your newsboys ask that you pay your fifteen cents for the paper each week so they can pay their bills at this office. If you are go Ing to be away, please arrange to pay them earlier or to leave the m ney with a neighbor. It will help the "little m- rchanto" out aud they will appreciate it. —o Senator Barkley will not issue a call for reconvening of congress to act on Senator Wht-eler’s proposal for legislation to head off drafting | of fathers. He believes that there I will be sufficient time between re- i convening and the time fixed for i the new order and he prefers no* to interfere with the planned vications of members of congress. The squirrel season is on and the nimrods arc busy. They should remember that they are trespassing when they tramp over the farm lands that are posted with "no hunting" signs, or that arc so advertised. (lame wardens are aho on the job and will Insist on all laws governing the sport in Indiana being strictly adhered to. —o A Nappanee man who coached four young boys to steal and even to hold up filling stations was nabbed by Sheriff Buckley aud state police. He armed the lads and gave them liquor before starling them out. Judge Simpson of Goshen fined him 1500 and sent him to prison for xlx months. Such a character ought to be sent up for the rest of his days. —o The Colorado United State senator who has not delivered a formal speech in 1H months says that "evary Hine I start to say something I just think, well, if I wait a minute somebody else will say it: and they usually do." if all of his c< Hcaguc* operated on that principle the Congressional Record would be mu<h less formidable. - South B ud Tribune. O -O — Buying bonds is not a favor to your government, but to you. The money thue raised is bring used to defend the land you love, to maintain our form of government so su perior to that In any country in the world. At the same time Uncle Sam pays you Interest. It’s our duty to go the limit in buying bonds and in other ways comply ing with Uncle Sam a requests. O C — Mrs. Catherine Wright, the Albany, Oregon, woman who kidnaped a two-da y old baby from a hospital. had her neck broken, received a brain concussion and was otherwise Injured when Pearl Harbor was attacked. She was a teletype operator there. Seems raaMtnable that she might, as her husband claims, have had some "mental quirks." The babe has been returned to Its parents safely. O OClose friends of President Roose volt who have talked with him reeasily do not believe he wants a

fourth term as president. Th. v think he will not run under any{ circumstance* if the war Is over or nearing the end and only reluctantly If the war is still going strong. He would no doubt like to have a voice in writing the peace pact* and he Is perhaps as valuable for that a* any man In the world. H — The Pennsylvania railroad had a freight wreck at Kokomo quite similar to the one here last Sunday. In this case a wheel gave way and twenty-one cars w.re piled up. The rush of business and the desire of the railway* to do everything they can to win the war makes It difficult to keep all equip ment up to rtandard. but they are doing the best they can. The record of transportation since Peari Harbor has never been equalled in this or any other country. —— o ■—— * LATEST NOTES OF *i REPPERT SCHOOL | Today ta the half way mark in the present term ot Ruppert's auction school.

He did Mother too, when she was here this spring and summer. She thought it a wonderful idvt. I don’t.” ! “But there's room,” Mary said, "since you acquired the extra acreage." "Room and to spare," conceded Jndith. "I wanted to take a couple , of refugee children ... but there wasn’t room for fAsm." "I remember something of the discussion last winter. It was sweet of you, dear. But possibly Matthew was right." >- "Oh. he had all the arguments," said Judith; "he pointed out the practical side of it: If anything happened to their parents and other l ' relatives we would be under obliP gation to keep them with us until 1. they were of age, no matter how ( they had turned out, how disillusioned we might become about them. On the other hand, ho argued that we might become deeply attached to them, and then it would be difficult b to give them up.” , "Well,” remarked Mary mildly, d "that's sensible enough.” “Matthew," Mid Judith, "can be very sensible.* She set down her rap and leaned back in the big chair. She added, after a moment, "Mary, I asked you to come up with me ahead of whatever gang seem* to be on the schedule because I wanted to tell you that for some weeks I have been considering leaving Matthew." Mary went perfectly white. She could not speak for a moment. When she did her lip* felt stiff. She murmured, “You cant mean that Jg. dith.” "I do mean It" A v-fl “But you love him!” "Oh. I iovo him." Judith agreed. "I suppose I shall love him all my life, (hope not I hope 111 get over it, but I doubt it You see, I wanted a lot more from marriage than—" She stopped. There were thing* you could not diseus*. She began again. *T wont be able to make you see. I hamt been able to make him see* “You mean you've actually told him that you would leave him ?” “No. I warned him Ont, a year ago. Recently, again. He doeen t believe it He laugh* at me." “I don’t understand," Mary Mid helplessly. “No. But I thought somehow thst marriage wm a working partnership, give-and-take.

"I did so want him to be happy.* ’♦ "He is happy,” assorted Judith. “1 didn’t mean just Matthew," said Mary, distressed. "I meant you too.” "That's something else again," Judith told her. She put her arm through Mary's as they went out on the brick terrace and down the step* to the garden. "I do love you,” she said sweetly and sincerely; "you have been wonderful to me. I won't say, like a mother, because you aren't in the least like mine. But like a friend, the best friend I have. And I've hurt you. You'll dislike me," she ended wistfully. "No,” said Mary, “I wont Because 1 love you too ... aa yourself, Judith, however mistaken I might think you, not just because yo*i are my son's wife. And because I do feel thia way about you I implore you not to do anything hasty or unconsidered. You've been married such a short time, a little over two years. And the first year* aren’t easy, they take a great deal of adjusting.” "I know” said Judith.
