Friday is the final day for sending in your third payment for federal taxes. O—O Buy a 3100 bond this week for 375. In ten years you can cash it for |IOO. The more of them you have the better off you will be. —o We don't know what will be decided at the Quebec conference but It won't be good for the Japs and they can bet their iast grain of rice on that. —o It may take rome time to crack the Siegfried line. We remember bow Russia hung on when assailed by superior numbers by the Germans at Stalingrad. —o The U. S. treasury department is working on a program for a new tax law for next year. They have declared there will be no boosts this year and the new congress will have the problem It will be Bo easy one and will be the most interesting for the early part of l»4a. O—O The conference in Quebec this week is being called a “victory eeasion " That's more encouraging than a war meeting. Peace is most important now tor we must write enduring treaties. There will of course be much talk of both at these meetings for the war la not over, ft's cuncluaion and the plans to follow require much thought and action. O—O The G. O. P. started the campaign off Saturday night at the editorial convention al French Lick. Governor Bricker of Ohio was the headliner and emphasised the fourth term and the New Deal. Over the coming weekend the Democrats will meet at the same place and Senator Jackson and Governor Schricki-r will reply. The battle is on in old Indiana o—o—— A chemutry professor claims that radio commercials are destroying America's faith in nutrition. We'll go a step farther. We also think they're ruining the national digestion and raising the general blood pressure through listeners' frustrated vexation. And the singing variety have certainly set back the American love of music 20 years. — Goshen NewsDemocrat O—O According to Walter Winchell's column.

York night club about election odda. He called across the room to a renowned Broadway betting commissioner and asked him what he considered proper odds. The belt--0 Ing man promptly replied Rooaett velt, 100 to 1 The major was disgusted tor be bad claimed they ought to be 500 to 1. It r O—O—- ** Congress favors an appropriation of two billion dollars to prevent ■4 farm prices from tumbling after the war, as recommended by James Is F. Byrnes. The regulations will <• no doubt aid but it should go furthj er and Include other factors that e will prevent a depression while avoiding Inflation. It's a time for 0. . < e careful and sincere thought, regardless of politics If we wish to 4 be contortable the next few years. ' o—O The Maine election is over again and you can juggle the figures any way you wish as a prophecy of results in November. They mean little so far as the November elec- ’ tlon is concerned Maine is a - strong Republican state, one ot the r Maine and Vermont twins which always vote the same way. It Is admitted that President Roosevelt r is much stronger even there than . the state ticket, so dope it out to ( suit yourself O—O The Japs are a queer people. Tlu-v seem to want to die. Recently WM) Japanese prisoners in Australia staged a revolt. They hadn't , a chance in the world. Many of them were killed by the guards, a few escaped but most of them were recaptured The war lords In Japan know they have lost the war but | they Insist on going on to the end It will be a sorry finish for them and in continuing they show a similar attitude to those prisoners In Australia. O—O ' The most important thing at this ' time in the political campaign is • seeing that the voters are properly 1 registered. It is surprising how many lose out over a period of two - years Those who move or change ■ ' tbeir name, those who failed to vote and those who will be first voters this year, must have tbeir names • properly registered on the cards ’ in the flic at the county clerk's office. The deadline tor this is October 9th and you should not put 1 it off. See that you are registered ' and qualified to vote. O—O Ray Lefts and his assistants will 1 make a thorough < anvas for funds with which to build an airport in this county. They cannot do tt alone. Unless hundreds are interested enough to give some effort ' to the work, the important cam--1 paign cannot successfully be car--1 ried out. In the years to come ft 1 will mean much if we have an airport. Th. county is well located • on routes that have been established between the larger cities. We 1 should have a depot to make it ! possible to take advantage of that situation. O—O 1 Elkhart's latest experience with ' a so-called carnival company has only emphasised anew the fact that ! these irresponsible, traveling • troupes do more harm than good 1 to any community they visit. Last 1 Monday. In McNaughon park, the ' manager of tb« carnival outfit that ' had been brought in for the Labor 1 day picnic refused to operate its ' rides and other legitimate concessions when the city police, in performance of tbeir duty, declined to 1 let the carnival operate its games 1 of chance. The carnival manage- ' meat felt no sense of obligation to f carry out its promise ot fun and amusement for "the kiddies."—Elkhart Truth. F Twwrty Ywi Aoe *1 Today J Bept. 13 — Den Nlblica and I.

It never occurred to her that people might think she Is was much older than die was if m she had an M-year-old mother. Dr. Banning on one of his visits, •frhen he usually stayed for dinner, had mentioned that. Her reply had been that it didn't matter in the least how old people thought her to be. Thoughts weren't important, only facts were. Indeed, that was the policy under which she had run her life. She had never cared much what people thought about what she did. and that alone made her rather a figure in such a little place as Talbot. After graduating from the university with honors, she had taught in a girts' school for a while. Then she had come homo and written some abort stories which, to her amaxement, hadn't sold, so she gave up writing. Later she had opened a gift shop in Weston and lost the money Inherited from her father, who had died somewhere in South America.

er was she up la her room after slamming her door angrily than she realised she had not exercised proper control over herself. She had really let her mother trick her into making an exhibition of herself—and in front of Miao Withers, too, who was the town goaeip. She rnmemberod Mias Withers hadn't said a word, just drank it aU in so she could spread the news later with proper embellishments. And Russell had not come up after her to offer sympathy. It meant he had none to offer, and that was annoying. He undoubtedly did not approve of the way she’d spoken to her mother and stamped her foot angrily. Russell was never angry himself—at least, his control was always perfect. And he liked poise. She knew it was something he liked in her. And she wanted his liking. Rhe was not sure he loved her as much as she loved him, but she was certain ills love would ultimately be teiilt on respect and admiration. She wanted that love. They had been engaged for several yearn now, but while she was the cne who gave out that s»hs couldn't marry because her mother needed her so much, she still wanted Russell to catch her in his arms and beg her passionately to marry him at once. He hadn't done that. Their engagement had been quite prosaic. It was understood that when things were right they would marry. It was one reason she had wanted her little library in Weston. RusseUs o»ce was in Weston. He rnal ly only came home to sleep When they were married, they'd undoubtedly live in Westen, where their interests lay. Talbot was asleep, if not. dead. It suited her mother, who would rather look at a ship under sail than read a good book. But she and Ruasell were both educated. Their Interests were l« ths future, not the past They wa going ahead.
