There is no doubt that the three great leaders of the Allies did their '■ best to meet every situation and to t lay plans for a greater world in the future. The document should t become th- outstanding chapter in . history. t q—o The Allied forces continue to 1 gain at both ends of the 140-mile I line on the western front and the big push through the center will come soon it is expected. In Manila the Japs have been pushed into a corner from which they cannot escape and the attacks continue on nearby islands. Budapest has fallen and the Russians are continuing to crowd in to and around Berlin, in a nut-cracker movement.. Surely the enemy cannot continue to resist much longer. O—O ' Governor Gates is frightened at the efforts of the general assembly to spend all the surpluses on hand and then some and he has sent a message that should awaken them to the dangers of such a program. In other words those who thought it would be easy to “dip in" now find the lid is being tightened. Sound economies are usually wise and If he can prevent the wild orgy of spending as threatened he will be in a much safer position than if he sits by and permits the deple- _ tion of the treasury. O—O There are four million less automobiles in this country now than in 1941 and the lumber that will go to the junk heap will increase rapidly from now on Official fig- , ures show that 25% of the cars I now operating are more than eleven years old. They will deteriate | more and more unices extra care is taken. It behooves every car a owner to hoard his miles until he r can secure new tires, parts or a new car. Unless we do the trans- 1 s porta tion problem may really be something to worry about in an- t other year or two. £ o-o— 1 Johnny Appleseed died a hundred , years ago and that anniversary will , be observed in this territory where his frequent trips during which he ’ planted seeds that produced many early orchards in this section of ’ the country, are a part of the pioneer history. Annually for years, it is said. Johnny tramped through this territory, always with a supply of apple seed and theie are many interesting anecdotes oi his experiences and his worth while deeds. How about a campaign to have each property owner in Adams county plant an apple tree during this Appleseed centenial year? 0— —0— More State Parks: Indiana has the finest park system in the country and it has been acquired largely by passing the hat. No general fund has been created by taxation to finance the acquisition of suitable areas as they became available. As a result of this rather niggardly policy, some tracts that Indiana should own have slipped away to private purchasers. A bill to levy two mills on each $lO9 of taxable property for ten years to establish a modest state park fund ought to pass. It would produce less than $40,000 a year, but it would enable the conservation commission to make at least a down payment on sites that have to be bought immediately to forestall private purchase. The pride that Hoosiers show in their parks ought to be backed by to expand the system in an orderly come demonstration of willingness manner. This will not be possible until a beginning is made toward the creation of a fund for that specific purpose.—Auburn Evening Star. _o— — ■ Trade lit a Good Town — Decatur

G> '943 gyAUTHO. CHAPTER TWENTY Aggie did not reply.. He had a feeling that, if there were human j bones in the coupe which Hank Bogarty had driven from Seattle to the outskirts of Indian Stones* certain persons in that colony were going to find themselves in a horrid I sweat. The thought gave him a moi ment of detached and somewhat sadistic amusement: a few human bones in the car of the man nobody wished to discuss ought to elicit the » whole truth about Mr. Bogarty. They walked under the red pines. Captain Wickman pulled open the , coupe’s rumpled door. The bones ;: were on the floor. Aggie bent over and the trooper waited intently. “Veal,” Aggie said presently. “Calf, that is.” He picked up one of them. A little meat clung to it — waterlogged and pallid. “Here’s the mark of a butcher’s cleaver. This end — was sawed. And here — I think—” He smiled slightly. “Wes, make a note that Mr. Bogarty had a dog — medium-sized — ” He stopped talking. His smile vanished. He saw the look in his own eyes, reflected in the eyes of the officer. “Yeah. Calder was bitten by a dog that size. Sige of a fox—as ; Jack said the other night.” A mem- ! ory flashed into his mind. ; color is the mutt the chef | the club?” al “All colors. Brindle—mostly.” Aggie dropped the veal bone back : on the car floor. Ho wiped his fin- • gers delicately on a bandanna. “See ; here, Wes. I’d forgotten this. Kind | of thing you do forget. I saw a fox —at the crack of dawn—the night I Calder was killed, Black one—or silver. I thought it was a dog, at I first. I was sure it was—and I can’t seem to recall why. I wouldn’t make such a mistake omw in a thousand times—” He broke off. The state trooper s face was urgent with the v?isn to speak. “Bogarty raised silver foxes as a hobby. We had that in a routine report on him.” Aggie sat down on the running board of the coupe, which was still damp. He took out his pipe. “Exactly what did that report say ? The whole business.” “Routine police stuff. Bogarty was well known in British Columbia, Well-liked, for that matter. Served in the last war with the Canadians, Got to be a captain. He was. well fixed. Owned some good' - mines. Nobody has any complete information about his dough — which is the status of most wealthy guys. He’s supposed to have found one deposit—long ago—that made him a fortune. But he worked it himself — exhausted it himself, possibly — because nobody knows whether that strike is /included in Iris present properties or not. Those were sourdough days—and Bogarty wasn’t talking any more than the . dthers. He volunteered for this war and they wouldn’t take him. Came

He knew what the trooper s had said—but he was not thinking d about it. “I can’t imagine—” he ■ k began. » c Wes flung an empty tobacco tin into the lake. He held out his hand t for the scientist’s pouch. “I can—easily. Your aunt —Waite—Davis <1 — Calder — did business long ago t with this honest son of nature, e Calder—well, you know his reputa- i tion. Bogarty came on to see his c’ i( j j pals—perhaps to enlist their ", n g u . j ence for the English— a*- j arr i v -d -say around eleven- Tound nobody i at Sarah ed up hig card _ , and rpaehe Calder’s after Gannon < had tur; ie{ ] in-” < Aggie was tapping the coupe ' i with his pipe. “Didn’t arrive. Went i I into the drink on this curve—” 1 “You know what I’m going to say! Bogarty arrived — and he eventually went to see Calder. Probably tried Waite after Sarah. Hung around. He knew the crowd would be here — because they always arrived—every year—on the twentieth. So Bogarty drove in at Calder’s. I wish I’d done more looking at tire tracks the night we found Calder! Too much rain, since. , Anyhow — Bogarty went in — and i began to catch up with what had . happened to his old friends in the , last thirty-six years—” “Long as that, eh?” Wes nodded. “He went out—in 1905. They told me that much. He was about twenty-six or so, at the time. He’d be over sixty—now—- ■ and not showing it. So—he found out something about Calder he ■ couldn’t stand. Argued. Maybe even ! fought. Calder was a pugnacious devil. Maybe Bogarty banged him on'. Killed ini. anyway. Then—- • what? Make it look like an acci- . dent. Bogarty is a woodsman. The ; deadfall dodge would naturally oc- ! cur to him. He took an ax—and i Calder's body—and pushed up on : the side of Garnet Knob. There was ■ a moon. He could have used a lantern or a flashlight, too. Nobody I around. He chopped down those ! trees — fixed up a deadfall — put Calder in it—tripped it on him—” Aggie looked annoyed. “Oh. sure. • Then he drove away—ran his car i off the road here—and beat it. Look, : Wes. If he did that, how did he know we’d find his car—and assume : he was dead?” "Maybe he just didn’t want us to i find it at all. Wanted us to think,
