Give to the War and Community Fund The money goes to help make the men and women in the armed service more comfortable and to help on the problems at home Don't pass this one up. o—o It may seem a little early but hero's a tip —do your Christmas shopping early this year. Many have started It already and those who wait too long will find it diffi cult to find just what they want. For the average person times are pretty good. Prices of the farmers commodities are good, wages are above average, prices have beeu fairly well controlled, most every body is getting along rather nicely. Think it over when you vote. —o Now that we know definitely what the tax rates will be for next year, we can start putting away a dollar occasionally to meet the bill The rates over Adams county are reasonable and the public appreciates the work of all officials who contributed. ——O—O Thousands of folks from this part of the country now know that President Roosevelt looks and talks like and is a statesman. No nation has a finer leader or one who has had a more difficult task. And If you consider every thing he has done it well. leading independents and some Republican leaders who have given serious thought to the future have announced they favor the reelection of President Roosevelt. It's largely because they favor a speedy end to the war aud the right kind of a settlement to assure peace. —o The Adams County Sunday School Association Is today concluding a three-day session, held at Monroe and Berne and those in attendance report it one ot the best ever held in this territory. Rev. aud Mrs. Garner of Wheaton, Illinois, were apeciai speakers aud pleased the crowds as did the entire program.

The city ot Indianapolis has exceeded its War and Community Fund quota of 61.075.000 by 115.213, a wonderful showing that ought to Inspire every community In the state. Let's put Adams county over to Join them in such a victory, it will make every one in the armed service and every one interested in keeping the home fires burning, very happy —o There has been some name calling in the campaign but it has not been as bad as was predicted a tew months ago A discussion ol the issues In plain language is more desired by the voters but a speech that burns the opponents up always creates the greatest enthusiasm because those present are mostly partisans hoping fur that kind ot an attack —o James G. Stone, of the National Tuberculosis Association. dedans that: ‘More cases of tuberculosis are being found today than ever before aud fewer patients are in tuberculosis hospitals. The temptation of high wages in war Industrie* is causing many to stay out of hospital! and accept jobs " He emphasized that the proper program for control of tuberculosis consists of three parts: finding the castes, hospitalization. and education of the patient and public to the seriousness of the disease. —o The election draws near aud there are claims aud counter-claims as usual. The results nationally may be close or it may be another Roosevelt landslide. Voters are weighing the candidates with the conclusion of the war. the peace treaties and the reconversion to normal times in mind Much depends of course on the results In a half dozen eastern states including New York and Pennsylvania. The late polls and straw votes Indicate the president is gaining and the trend is also evidenced in several of the mid-west states. It will be all over but the voting in another week. —o Nicks And Chips: Samuel Grafton describing MrDewey's speech in New York, says he is “forever discovering some tiny flaw, a nick in the Stell rails and Is Immediately tilled with a mysopic delight." He tells how the governor criticized the administration in dealing with various European countries and adds: "And so on. and so forth, an amazing collection of nicks, chips, etc. He found something wrong in every country in Europe, although on later analysis, several ot the scratches he reported turned out to be flaws in his own magnifier But then at the end. after all this close hand work, if you just looked up aqd contemplated Europe, then were the United Nations, stil standing, and the war stiU beini won. and the midnight express stil roaring by, with Mr. Dewey iookini down as if he had dropped a dime somewhere." Sharing Candy: No grown-up. and very few boys and girls who know what it's about will begrudge the setting aside ol half the American production ol nickel candy bars, rolls aud candy packages for the armed forces. It may come hard on the kids at first, when they come into a store and discover that the cupboard is practically bare of sweets. But just explain to them that their fathers and brothers. Working and fighting in the rain aud cold, need the candy more than they do. and probably there won't be a whimper. And. really. It's a good thing for the young people to learn at least that much about the realities ol Army life in winter. There should be no exaggeration, of course, and it is right to conceal from sensitive children the hardest phases ol Army life. But they should have least UM'V’t <4 Utfieys gad hset|eM gpe jwbi

The old lady bore the trip well and even said, “1 11 won't say anything now, but as g soon as I'm over the operation I want to know more about you and 11 Dr. Raynor.” x Anne nodded gravely. "I’U Uli , you everything then.** “And if J don't—" “You will. Dr. Raynor, whatever his faults, is a great surgeon." “And a very handsome man." The old eyes twinkled as she said it.

It was an invitation which Laura it also seconded, and Molly was bestirred by phone to do her very best Laura onlv saw her mother g after she was in the hospital, but her approval of all plans was Im--5 mediate. Thia was scientific sffiy ciency and she liked efficiency. She was very much impressed by Dr. Raynor, too. Ho was her idea oxr actly of what a great surgeon should be.

we don't know In a little place like this.” Laura came home to dinner before driving back to spend the evening at the hospital with her mother. She did her best to be entertaining and her bast was very good indeed. Laura had a good brain and used it. She was really quite pleased with everything. An operation -ould not only put her mother back where she bad been, but might do better than that No miracles were to be expected, but when Dr. Raynor was hopeful she knew she had every reason to be. Thefs was a chance of failure, of course, but it hatdly entered her mind. And Dr. Raynor was in love with Anne. Anne had been his special nurse. It put Ann* in a new light in more ways than one. It mad* her understandable It gave her a background It accounted for that In her which had been a mainstay in trouble and also that calm assurance winch had been most irritating. And it was clear now that, even if Anne had played with Russell, it had only been playing. So Laura talked charmingly of books and people and small-town life. Dr. Raynor liked bar a* he liked all intelligent girls. He had no use for dull ones, no matter how beautiful He was in his best mood, gracious, witty, sure of himself. And even Anne had to confess to herself she had never seen him look banctootner. H*j coon pHmented Molly on her cooking and Molly, once buck in the kitchen, danced with joy. As she told her friends later in her little house on a back street: “It ain't only WHAT he kM. but the WAY he aald it. An’ him th* handsomest man ever poked his nose into this town. An' a great doctor, too. In New York all tbs society women Jest run* after him and begs him to cut 'em open." After dinner Russel! came in and was introduced to Dr. Raynor. They made a fine picture aa they shook hands, but the doctor was taller, broader of shoulder and handsomer.

I’ve been in love with her for years, but sh* probably won't hear of it Rhe was hiding her* to tease ma" Ther* was a little laugh that wasn't too easy. Russell remembered that last day in the car. She had to go back to New York, she had said. He could understand now. Bhe bad said she was married -well, he didn't know. He stood, hat in hand, for a moment Anne was very quiet, quieter than he had •ver seen her. But was she quiet because she was happy? He didn’t know. He was sur* of Laura, however Laura was radiant and looked handsomer than he had ever seen her. Yes, handsomer was the word. Laura would never be pretty. She was too dark, too Intense. But tonight she was vital, triumphant He spoke to her. “I’m driving to Weston to see your mother, if It's allowed." Dr. Raynor laughed. “I want you to see bar. Bite spoke of you aa being such a devoted friend. In fact I gather you're engaged to—to Laura, aren't you?” Bussell hesitated, then bowed. “I thought so." He turned. “And you don't mind my presumption in sailing you Laura? I like first names, real nam*s, I call them - that Is, except my own. Only Anne any it and make music out of it" Laura * eyes were bright "Fas a» proud if you caU mo Laura. And this Is Russell, at coarse. We're only a small circle here." "And a happy one. I'm sure."
