Have you drained your idle savings for extra Bonds? Have you upped your payroll Aavingi allotment at your place -«f work? agree that buying Bonds -da the lightest of all war chores. To speed Sunday fighting for pour very life against the Nazis or Japs —that's the severest duty imposed by citizenship. The Americans who have that Job aren't complaining. Will you, who have your Sundays at home, grumble about giving up some of your usual comforts so that you can buy an extra Bond or two? There's a lot of questions in today's “little box" but your son or husband or brother will ask you many more burning questions if somehow be learns voe did not back him up with War Bonds when the war got tough.

Oeneva Democrats bare selected their ticket for the town election to be held November 2nd. Harold Long was nominated for clerktreasurer and C. N. Brown. Ed Stahly and Boyd Booher for trustees. The Republicans have not held their convention yet. The Yankees have won the American league pennant.

Only between lour and five thousand acres will be harvested this year due to the laek of acreage and the rains which wiped out hundreds cf acres. The run will be short but production good for the content is said to he above average.

The Nashville House at the Brown county seat removes one of the mast interesting land marks of Indiana. Almost every Hoosier has visited the quaint little town down there in the hills and many have stopped at the old hostelry for food or rest.

OPA said the reduction in point values of popular vegetables was made possible a* a result of the government's appeal to farmers and gardeners to grow more beans and corn.

The crop of dried peas and lentils is the greatest oil record, making removal of those items possible. .. — . —o Kummaife Male Zion Evan. & Reformed church Sat. all day. 229(5

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE t Twice Drew walked the length of ' the terrace. In spite of himself he was still « unable to believe that she was de- 1 liberately lying to him. There was about her a quiet dignity. ■ courage j that made it seem impossible for her j to be nothing more than Franx 1 Alter’* accomplice. There was something too line and too straightforward about her for that. Marriage had left her completely without illusion; life had not treated her kindly, and she might—as she had intimated—be in desperate atraiu. So desperate that abe was wiUing to gamble everything on the prospects of a wildcat well. But did the money actually exist? And if H did—thirty thousand dollars! With that much— He smiled at hi* own growing excitement. Tomorrow would be time enough. The dance waa at its height when he entered the club; the floor was jammed, and be caught a glimpse of Gloria daneing. Spud joined him by the door. “Your girl don’t seem exactly lonely," he grinned. “Cutter’s been trying to get another danfee and hasn’t made it And it ain’t because her dad’s a big ibot either—th# thing about that girl is men and women both like her. Molly tkinka she’s just shout one hundred per centand when a woman cheers for a pretty girl, that’s something.” Thorpe followed her with bis eyas. She was looking up at her partner with those dark, eager eyes of hers. She couldn't help knowing that men found her charming, that the dance waa faat becoming s personal triumph for her. He saw bow sha thrilled to it, as if something deep and lasting and important were taking place; as if this danc* marked for her a sense of personal completion. « Through supper he sat at her sidm conscious of th* unaffected happiness that welled up within her. He watched her aa she listened to something Ray Cutter waa saying, and saw her throw back her head and laugh. Yes, she was a very part of the night and the music and th* mafic of the dunce. Not until an hour later was Drew able to claim her. “Remember me?" He tried to scowl. “I'm the man who invited you here. And by actual count you've danced forty-seven miles. Aren’t you deadr She raised both hands above her head in a gesture of complete felicity. “1 don’t know." “Wall, you should be. I’ve a good aottan to kidnap yen.” She looked up at him. “That would be fun." $ “Here we go, then.” Drawing her arm through his. Drew led her out across the terrace and down the briek walk to a small one-story building where, unlocking the door, he switched on the light The faint smell of moist day hung heavy in the air; the walls \ about thorn were stacked to th* ceiling with sasoll comportments holding labeled specimens of rock, cylindrical fragments of varied colors; aad to the right a long bench held esantisas tiny glass ahdsa sad a He smiled > attTr questioning eyes.

Laying the cor. aside. Drew took a compound microscope from out it* box and touched it lovingly. “I’ve been carrying this old fellow around with me for four year*. And tomorrow I say good-by to it.” “You’re going to mis* all this, aren't you?” 1 “Yes, I suppose I am—this and a lot more." He switched on a tiny light at the base of the microacop.. inserted a slide, and focused. “Look down here.” Her dark head bent over the instrument, and he heard her low gasp of surprise at the sight of dozens of sea shells, like delicately fashioned conches, illuminated in the pearly ray of that polarized light. Again abe looked, in sheer, dsiight “But ar* they really shells?” she asked. "They’re shells millions of year*; old. They lived when this continent was under the ocean, and they’re so small it take# a powerful microscope to see them." “But they’re like jewel*!” “They ar# jewels, in * sense. They’re th* symbols of pay-sand. That’s how we know whst to expect when th* drill begins bringing up these little messengers of good sews.’* „ . . Seated on o;«# of the tall stools, shs rested her chin on her hand. “And If you bring in awe U-s really big well—what then?” He pushed back the microscope "Aren’t you ashamed to get me started on dream eastics? That well of mine may never begin.” "No. but really, what would you do? Buy a big boose somewhere, marry' and settle down?” “And grow a nice round tummy, and take up bridge. No, I’ll tell you j what I’d do. I’d go out and get Molly everything I thought she really wanted.
