It's healthier, looks better and Is. -0 Working men and soldiers are buying their share of bonds. It's up to the rest of us to buy ours. Ik>n't go back on the boys. O—O Senator Jackson's claim of a great victory next November was a tonic for the Democrats and somewhat depreiwiug to the op|M>sitlon. Fill your coal bin, put up fruits and vegetables, plan for next winter. You will find it more comfortable, regardless of what happens. —o It's up to the voters now to decide whether they want Schricker or Capehart for United State* senator, Jackaou or Gates for governor. Size them up, look at the record. Voting ought to be easy. . O—O The state conventions are history and its probable the campaign will drag for the next three or four months for there Is a war on and people generally are more interested in the outcome of that than in politics. —o if you bought a pound o' breakfast bacon today at forty cents, and remembered when you paid eighty cents for the same amount of the same commodity during the first World War, you may understand why Senator Barkley calls critics of OPA “mind prisoners."— Louisville Times. —o- ■ What’s back of the bonds you buy? Every bit of physical property in the United States. They can’t go sour. What's back of the • money you have? The good faith of the government. Os course both are good but If you are technical about it. the bonds have the moat security back of them. Buy and keep all you can. O—O— The many friends and admirers of Lt. Dick McClenahan are happy that he was rescued after his plane collided with another, fifty miles on the Florida coast. Four of the men in the crews were lost and ' ——| To the People i fit of this Community * 1 What Is R you onamat afford when you say. “I cant afford” I more War Bonds?

Dick was picked up after nearly an hour in the Atlantic It wm a nerve wrecking experience and It is deeply regretted that the other brave lads of the flying corps could not be saved. O—O It's good news that Adams Post No. 43, American Legion, plans to build an addition to their home as soon aa possible after the war. They have purchased the west part ' of the lot and will sell the diner building. An architect will prepare the blue prints and work will start as soon as materials can be purchased and labor secured. The post is growing steadily and will continue to be an important organization for many years to come. —O—- - Office of Defense Transportation has announced that civilians will gel more than a million barrels of gasoline daily for transportation the next three months, but the amount will be "slightly under" current supplies. The ODT asserts the automotive gasoline allocation for the third quarter of 1944 is 1,015.000 barrels daily. The midwest's part is allocated as follows: Passenger transportation and intercity buses, 20.641; water transporation, 1,814: railroads, 270. O—O Kay Madden, congressman from the first district and keynoter at the recent Democratic state convention declared that there was so much talk about Capebart's slush fund that the Marion county graud jury should conduct an Investigation. It may have been just "political baloney" as is charged but the talk is so genera) that it seems to be taken as truth. Investigations usually don't do much good but the candidates for senator on the O. O. P. ticket will probably wan£ some kind of an effort that will clear him or at least lessen the heat for the campaign. O—O Price Control: In a recent national survey of public opinion by the famous Gallup poll, the issue of price control was put to voters from coast to coast as follows: "Do you .think prices on most products should be allowed to go up, or should prices be held where they are now?” There are the answers: Let prices go up 4% Hold prices at present level -»1% Undecided ™ 6% The desires of the American people in regard to holding the line against inflation by effective price control could hardly be more clearly indicated. It's up to us to see that their desires are carried out. O—O The Central Sugar Company Is being liquidated, closing a third of

a century of business that has meant much to this community. It is the successor to the Holland-St. Ixvuib Company, which built the first and only sugar plant in Indi ana here, opening in 1912. It operated until 1930. went into receivership and was closed for a year or two. In 1932 it was purchased by Dale W. McMillen who operated under the name of the Central Sugar Company. It wae successful and from it sprang the Central Soya Company which has bad so much to do with the prosperity and growth of this community. Much as we regret the passing of the sugar plant we realize the good busineiM judgment and we know that the buildings will be used to good advantage in the future. Time marches on and we know the McMillens will continue to help Decatur keep pace with it. Twenty Years Ago i June 20 — Mrs. Charlei Curtis, wife of the Kansas senator, dies in Washington.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE Long shadows lay acrn«s the lake When Colin and Selkirk stepped from out the spruce that lined the shore. Their eyes were fixed on something high up in the air—four tiny specks droning toward them from the south, scudding before the wind: three fighter planes and a large two-motor transport. One by one they leveled off and landed; on the wings Colin saw the insignia of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Eagerly he ran to meet the tall army officer who descended from the transport “You’re Colonel Dowling." Colin held out his hand. "Righto! You’re Colin Rae, of eoiuse." His eyes passed to Selkirk, and he smiled. “We met last summer.* Another brief handshake, then he turned to Colin again. Ready to guide us to that air base?" “We can leave now." .. “How many men did you see there?” *‘ At *Mrty. Maybe more." Dowling looked back at the transport plane. “I brought a few machine gunners who’ll be very glad to entertain them. You said you had a sketch map of the shorelinewhere >a it?" “In my eabin." „„ ,hrM ’ men hurried W r P ? th * b,,t jMt out>i<le th® Colin paused.

But Selkirk cut him off. “If Nari bombs fall on Canada or the United * States what answer will you make J to the dead and dying?” ! The stricken voice ceased. Once J more Selkirk was kneeling beside Irina’s silent form, while across the J room Dowling waited. A tremor passed through Colin’s [ body, then very slowly he straightened. “11l go,” he murmured. Dowling hurried out to the planes. But within the cabin Colin stood, his somber eyes on an aging, broken man, and the cold white face of a girl who had kissed him once; who had sat there smiling on hia bunk, not so very long ag0.... With strangely clumsy fingers Colin lifted a strand of the hair that had always reminded him of a wolf’s pelt “I’m going now’’—hia lips were stiff—“l’m going, but I ll be back—for Dove.” A moment later, with a growl of angry motors, the warplanes took the air. Seated beside Colonel Dowling, Colin felt the transport climb for the upper air. He looked about him: the plane was filled with soldiers in army overcoats, each holding an automatic rifle, and through the window he saw the ice-covered Nelson, its banks already in shadow beneath the sinking sun. The Colonel began talking of was the picture you found in Van Downe’a eabin that gave us the clue. Two days ago I had a complete report from Intelligence in England. An amazing tale! As a mild * mannered, publie - spirited citisen of Canada, Dove served Germany for over a quarter us a century. “We flrat got track of him when he joined the Royal Air Force, in IVIG, under the name of Proctor. He was in the same aviation class with van Downe. In spite of hia email ? lxc be * oon became an exceptionally able flier. When his squadron got to F rance he was made test pilot Again and again, according to the records, he showed himself thoroughly dependable. Finally they gave him a newly perfected bomb sight to test—something the Allies had been working on for more than a The thing was to be kept, absolutely secret and that very day Dove flew with it over the lines and landed at a German airdrome. “That was the first scrap of evidence the artny had that this man Proctor, or Dove, as he later called himself, was a German spy. Dove’s commanding officer barely missed court-mantiui. Six months later Dove was reported kilted. But hia death turned out to be a little premature. Recently, the British agents learned that Dove was not dead. His plane had crashed, and his face was so badly battered that he was unrecognisable. It was built up again by plastic surgery, completely changed, so that only the eyes remained the same. "W* Jost sight of him until in the Hitler regime he came back to Canada with a different face and name, to join ths fifth column working here and in the U.S.A." Col, Dowling stroked his ehln. You can’t help admiring the thoroughness of those Teuton termites. For the last few years it’s been Dove’s job to learn more about the south shore of Hudson Bay than any living man. .Wove al- ■■
