age who are out after ten o'clock will have to give a good excuse to the poller. That's the new order and 1* to be strictly enforced. It was brought about because of the rowdyism of the youngsters. It'J the same almost every where an! many r mmunltlea are taking action. Dr Joe Morris has been choeeit chairman of a ways and means committee to develop plana for install Ing an airport near Decatur. The selection Is an excellent one for Dr. Morris, a CAP pilot la enthusiastic about the project and believes that those community* which start now will be belter prepared for the post-war plane activities. He will name several local men to work with him and to plan step by step the moves necessary to establish a station to be a part of the net work in Ibis section. Back The Attack:

The 15 billion dollars which tho treasury hopes to raise In Its September Bond drive la a staggerius sum Whm a figure haa that tnanv ciphers tacked onto It, the ordinary human mind can't quite grasp Its meaning There’s a temptation to think of the Individual contributor as negligible. A $55 war bond, or even a 11.000 purchase, looks puny and insignificant in relation to the total. So does th<Individual soldier seem Insignificant among the millions of a modern army. Yet he Is the Indispensable Integer. The effectiveness of any democratic effort rest* upon compounding the contributions of the many. And each is indispensable. That Is the innermost secret of our form of society. In all our common enterprises, we count implicitly up. n the other fellow, upon tbs anonymoua little fellow, to play hla emwntlal part The simple act of mailing a letter, in full confidence that it will find its wav through hundreds of unknown hands to its prescribed destination, involves an act of faith. Tbtn ia the faith which has made possible the great ness of our democratic undertakings.

The Individual bond buyer can. If he likes, translate his purchase In terms of so and so many bombs or bullet* rained upon the A*it. Or he can reckon In sober reality that the amount of his purchase has borne the entire ccat of the gigantic United Nations war efiort for an Infinitesimal fraction of .ts terrible duration Better still, ho can reckon it In negative termsin terms of satisfactions deferred, of things not bought, trips not taken, materials and srvlces reissued for tbs prosecution of the war. Por those acts of self-denial also greatly oerve the common cause. But. best of all. he can see himself as an Irreplaceab.e unit in a great totality —as a vindicator of the bedrock faith on which our form of accloty la foundHi.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN Somberly Drew told them of the scene in Cutter’a ofßcc and of ita final outcome. “So the Rio Bravo's out,” he ended, and walked the length of the room. “And all because one man couldn't see beyond his nose. To lose the biggest chance we ever had, or ever will bar*. To b» licked now, juat a*—" Sudden fire had kindled in Draw a eyea. He whirled on hia heel and was back at Spud’s bedside. "Spud, why don't we sink that well ourselves! Let's wildcat!” He heard Molly gasp, saw Spud s quick start; but the words were as great a surprise to him as to the others. Until that very second no such thought bad crossed bis mind —ntvtr would havt crcmd h»» mind, perhaps, except for Alters warning. Sheer madness for two men to wildcat back in tk* Jungle when only the ctrongast companiaa could afford the riak. Worse than madness to contest that field singlehanded against tha groat government - subsidised organisation of I‘Ttnz AlUr* lnMiur—and yet he knew as he stood there that more than anything in Ufa ha wanted to bring in that well The fire in Thoroe’s eyea was burning brighter. “We could do it, Spud, you and I. All we need is the start. Th# oU’a tbara.“ • Oh, so tbe oU'e there, is It? Molly bad found her voice. “And bow do you guarantee that? I've seen you bring in dry wells, Drew, and I've seen you bring in salt water and gaa." _ Drew frowned. The words sounded too much like Hartwell. “She’s right, Drew.” Spud nodded from his bed. “Every well’s a gamble. The beet surface structure n th* whole world can't guarantee what’s underneath." Drew turned. “Sun, It’s a gamble. But it’s a gamble I’d like to take. Look, Spud. All our Uvea we’ve been working for the other fellow. I go out and find the wells; you dig them. They thank us and pay us a salary, but th* boys higher ip get th* plums. Why can't w* Hark our own judgment for once in our livea?" Little spots of color burned in Drew's tanned cheeks. “Spud, you can sink a well cheaper than anyone in the world. Come in with me on this. Th* biggest field in South America may be waiting for us out in the jatfle. If we don’t bring it in, the Plt wt gang w»U. If Hartwell won’t bet on us, let’s bet on ourselves.” ll* saw Spud's lips sucker in thought, mw him look toward Molly, then quickly look away again. Th* rumble of the water pump seemed to grow louder, then brvw heard Spud draw a deep breath, and knew that k* had won. Spud's hand tightened ever hie wife’s “How much money have we, Molly gtrit” She sighed. Thorpe could guess Um thoughts that won going through her mind —to her they were dreaming a dream. That money, so hardly earned aad saved as siserty. daslar by dollar from yuan of work and privation, that Lest eg* laid aaide for the inevittbl* rainy day or throat of age—they won making ready to gamble it away. It waa money she herself had made them save, with patient, thrifty self-denial —a drees she BMfht have had hist didn’t, a little roet she sight have taken, fifteen year i cf *s*ing; and new they won mokiag at hog wttfc bright, excitod SBStJsL" ths -» ' ,

“Nine thousand dollara.” she almost whispered. “Four of it belongs to Draw.” Spud shook his head. “That wouldn't go far.” “How much would tha well cost' us, Spud?” ' ,1 “Every nickel of sixty thousand dollars—better figure on seventy." Drew squared his shoulders. “We could cut corners. W* could us* secondhand equipment from State.-. OiL We could get eredit from the i contractor* — maybe some of the boys her* would take a dyer with us, and then's a down men bach u» the State* 1 could writ* to.” Spud wu sitting bolt upright. “A bird In Oklahoma wanted to go in with mu onec. Wa could eabi* him.” Forlornly as a mother might look upon two willful boys, Mcily watched them. “It’s craxy you both are,' she interposed softly; then leaned over and kisacd her huaband's cheek. “If ever you want to n§* that money. Spud, it’s your* to um. And I'll live in a aback Uka wa used to while you'N drilling it 111 do It gladly if it brings happiness to you. But 1 still think it’s mad you both are to bt setting asid* tbe judgment of two big companies and bucking th* powers of Europe." Drew’s arm endreled the woman's shoulder. “Maybe it’s jast s wild dream, Molly dear, but” —he dnw a deep breath —“what a grand dmam it could turn out to be!” He looked across the bed at Spud. “Tomorrow well be back in camp—ther. well sea.” And, as if to dismiss the whole matter, he announced, “I’v# invited Gloria down to the big dance.” Newt of Thorpe’s quitting was boiling through ta* oil camp when they reached the coast next morning, and everywhere Dnw was besiemd with th* same qut»uui«: “lfi»at are yon going to do?" But be answered only, “Until the first of th* month I’m still a mud smeller for State* OiL There's a report to finish, and tha geological laboratory to get in shape for the next man." After that, Thorpe admitted, he might wildcat. “Where?” iuvy demanded. “Tbe Rie Bravo?" And, smiling, Thorpe asked, “Why not?" Ray Cutter, in th* hop* of making Drew reconsider, called him over to th* office th* morning ha drove down from th* hospital. • “Come on back with ns. Dnw,” ha urged. "This thing will blow over.
