Buy that extra SIOO bond and help the boys go on to Paris the next few weeks. The more we buy the sooner the old war will be over. o-o—-Because so many people contribute their time, office space and other assistance, War Bond sales' cost to the government is only one cent for every thirty-three dollars raised. _ —o-o-— The Allied forces have pushed more than thirty miles into France and are continuing to push forward. If the enemy has any new weapons or hidden traps, It’s time they sprung them. —o Strikes continue over the country at a time when we should be cooperating 100% to help win the war. Usually they don't continue long but each walkout injures the cause. —o 1 The softball league is getting under way ami the fans as well as the players look forward to a couple of months of entertainment. The trophies are on display and the boys will put up a good scrap to land them.

Northern Indiana provides many inviting spots for those who like this greatest of all outdoor sports and there Is no other means to relax that is as on joy able aud healthful. —o War Bonds are the best advertised product in history but the government hasn't paid one cent for advertising space or radio time. The advertisers of America and all media contributed the space, and the time and the manpower—more than 250 million dollars worth. —o Those who have visited General Eisenhower's headquarters say he has two books on his desk, "Soldier’s and Sailor's) Prayer Book’’ and "Hitler's Generals.” Some one sug Rests that he reminds him of Cromwell whose instructions to his men wa*» "Trust In God and keep your powder dry.” —o It Is reported that Marshal Rommel who was In charge of the Naxl forces to stop the Allies when they landed in France lia* been recalled. Maybe he couldn't find a desert over which to speed a* he did in North Africa or maybe he is still there waiting for the chance to spring a surprise. —o Joe Becker of South Bend, a seaman second class, stationed at Miami, sold military information. He was court martialed and sentenced to life imprisonment. His days won’t be happy for remorse I* a terrible thing and when he realizes, as he probably does already, how serious treason Is, he will have a large dose of regret. o—o The visit of Churchill. Eisenhower, Marshall and other Allied leaders to France was a great physiological stroke if nothing else. The fact that they could safely inspect the battle fronts indicates better than any thing else that our troops are firmly intrenched. Hope they don't take too many chancre of this kind however for their leadership Is badly needed during these crucial days. —o Flag Day is a great occasion If it only causes us to listen to the etories of how thia government was founded and how it has lived through many trying ordeals. We are in the midst of another right now. perhaps the most serious of any. and we must cooperate to win another great victory. Compare this country with any in the world and you will find Its the best because we have freedoms aud because we are the government.

Demands Capehart Expenditure Probe Probe Demanded By Democrat Keynoter l Indianapolis. June 15—(UP)— Bep. Ray J. .Madden. D.. Ind, today demanded a grand jury Investigation of the expenditures of Homer E. Capehart, Indianapolis manufacturer. In his successful campaign for the Republican nomination for U. 8. senator at the state G. O. P. convention two weeks ago. "We have beard with growing alarm . . . the charge made by our Republican brethren that an unconscienabl/i amount of money was used before and during the Republican state convention In the interest of the nominee for United States senator." Madden said, in keynoting the Democratic state convention. Madden, representing the first district, seeks re-election this fall "Because we look upon the office of senator ... as one that should and must be free of taint and suspicion, we how solemnly call upon the prosecutor of Marlon county to . , . conduct a grand Jury investigation without fear, favor or partisanship, so that the electorate may be acquainted with the facta . . . to the end that In. diana need not face the prospect of again bowing Its head In shame because men selected for high placet had followed false ideolo. gles.” Madden referred to the recent Indiana Republican controversy over the Ku Klux Klan Issue and said that the Dcmocrata V’coiv demn as an affront to good government the reversion to Ku Klux Klan tactics employed by the so. called leaders of the Republican party.” "We deeply deplore the rape of the Republican party committed today.

CHAPTER~THIRTY Throwing hnth arm* across his face, Coftn groped hla way into the eabin. Ha ealtod. No answer. Ho felt about until he reached Tennant, dragged him outside and, rolling him in the snow, beat the flames from his clothes. One more trip into that biasing cabin—and only one. But Colin waa able to rescue his parka and two heavy blankets. His dogs were dancing in a frensy as be laid Nate down among the blankets and tied hun to the toboggan. In a hoarse voice he gave the signal to his team; wildly barking, they tore down the trail. Dog-tired, barely able to keep pace with the team, Colin rode the toboggan on the down-grades. Hours later, it seemed, Colin was standing before his eabin door. With a sense of blurred recognition he knew that someone waa coming out; the dogs were barking and jumping. Then all the world went black. Colin Bae awoke on the floor of his eabin, with someone kneeling by his aide; and as his vision cleared he spoke the one word, "Blair." Painfully ho asked through frost and fist-cracked lips, “Where’s Then bo saw Tennant’s body sprawled across the room. Aching in every Joint, CoUn forced himself to hto feet and, with Blair’s help, laid Nate on the bunk. Cohn read the question in Blair's eyes. "I knocked him down," he said. "He must have hit the stove when he fell. Let's get some water." Together they bathed Tennant’s wounds.

at the recent state convention by sinister individuals,” Madden said. He said that the Demucratlc party “has been the greatest barrier against the onslaught of communism” and charged that Republicans were preparing to use a huge campaign '‘slush fund” in a "reckless attempt to corrupt our electorate.” Madden reviewed the Democrat. Ic national administrative record, calling for continuation of government under his party and rap. ping the opposition party both nationally and locally. He scored "Republlctm ■politicians and subsidized radio c»m. mentators" who he said tried "to scare the voters with the bugaboo of regimentation and communism.” "The greatest antidote against communism is employment, good wages and security for the fam. lly. The Democratic party has been the greatest barrier in Amerlc| to protect us against the

way back. I’m almost certain he didn’t see my track.” He was silent, hie thoughts on Rlair’s father; Had Dr. Benedict talked! “It may have been Colonel Dowling’s message,” he heard Blair say. Sharply, Colin turned. “What message!” “Cotonel Dowling radioed me from Winnipeg. He’s flying up to see you day after tomorrow. Do you suppose—" She stopped, and with a little cry leaned over Nate who had opened his eyes. For a moment they rested on Blair, then closed again, and Tennant slept Blair pointed toward the farther bunk. “That’s what you need, too,” she counseled. Colin did not awaken until after midnight; then, at his insistence, Blair curled up in the chair by Tennant’s bedside, and ten minutes later she was asleep. Refreshed with a night of rest, Colin felt no ill effects of bis encounter except for an aehing hand and swollen cheek. Ho bathed his face and shaved and, when dawn began graying the window, set about boiling coffee. He looked toward Blair—cheek pillowed on her arm, tong legs tacked under her, she was still sleeping. Gently he laid a blanket about her shoulders. The tong, heavy-lashed eyes fluttered, but did not quite open, and the lips half parted, as if ready to smile. A crimson shaft of sunlight struck suddenly athwart the window, lighting the cabin with dramatic brilliance, touching two sleeping forms. His eyes fell to Blair’s hand, resting on Tennant’s forehead. In the years of his absence they had grown closer to each other, and apart from him. . . . Better not to have come Blair had awakened, and Colin Cured her a cup of coffee. She was ining over Tennant, and now she raised her face. “He’s coming to!** she cried, and Colin then waa convinced that ... Nate was all that mattered. _.T e , n , nant b,d opened his eyes. Quickly consciousness flowed back; the great recuperative power of the man asserted Itself, and in half an hour he was sitting up in the bunk. Ones his hand rose gingerly to his swollen Jaw, and he looked at Colin with a rueful smile. "I still think I ean lick you," he said. 'p® l *down beside him.
