A lot of the business places down down need cleaning and painting. Let’s keep up appearances during these days when it’s a little more difficult to do it. —o • The bunnies in Allen and Adams counties no doubt appreciated the quarantine that tied the dogs in the back yards during Easter season.i —o The seed cataloges are taking the jjJaee of best sellers these days as millions of Americans select the vegetables they hope will grow to ’’took something like the pictures. And properly they will. -—o—o Boys who engage in crime are tossing away their opportunities to be worth while. Parents should give attention to the fact that the lads need warning, training and attention. -0-— Regardless of what the weather is in April, farmers in this locality have a lot of their spring work out of the way. If the conditions ■foniaiu as they have the past • month, the outlook for a big crop dt about every thing will indeed J>e bright. O—O Save your scrap paper and tiu cans and have them ready for the Boy Scouts when they call. Uncle Sam needs this material now more than ever. There is a shortage of paper, greater than most people realize and every bit of old paper turned in will help. O—o The police officers do not like tJ do it but if dogs are permitted to run loose just now when rabies have been discovered, there is nothing else for them to do but shoot them. If you care for your pet canine, see that he remains at home and that’s not just chatter. Stray dogs will be killed. O—oMillions of people in the warstricken countries are suffering because of lack of clothing. If yon have any thing that can be worn Vy children, or by men or women. get it ready for the campaign soon to start in this county. It's another good turn we can all help do to some extent at least. O—o Tin- fact that Easter is over, should not mean that toe can let down in our efforts to keep the lessons of the Festival uppermost. Never iu history of modern times has there been such an opportunity for the churches to lead iu restoration of a badly wrecked world. That can only be if each individual

helps by giving some service to the work. O—o Harry Bridges who has been under Are for years with threat of deportation said In a recent speech to his Longshoremen union "strikes now are treason and there Is no valid excuse for them." Even those who lead such efforts in normal times now realize that the people of America should make this last big effort to win the wars by working in unison. O—O American combat casualties are nearing the million mark, a cost so terrible that most of us prefer not to think about it but we can't escape it. It should make every one feel that the wise thing for this nation to do Is to join with others who love peace to prevent future wars. The decisions iu San Francisco at the meeting which convenes April 25th will mean much to us and to generations yet unborn. Dr. J. Raymond Schutz, whose death occurred suddenly last Friday at his home in North Manchester, was well known here. He had frequently lectured in the county and was very popular. As head of social science at Manchester college many years, as a minister of the gospel, as a business man find a leader in political affairs, Dr. Schutz was before the public constantly for many years. He was forceful and brilliant and his passing is a real loss to Hoosierdom. O—o The Lenten season is over and spring is at hand. The next few weeks will be busy ones for the average person. There will be house cleaning, getting the garden and yard ready, plans for the summer to be decided upon and arranged and a thousand and one things to do and they will not oe easy this year. But we in this country are so much better off than those in other nations over the world, we ought to be reasonably happy. -0 According to General Eisenhower. Secretary Stimson and other leaders, the Germans are completely whipped on the western front. The enemy is so badly disorganized that a complete surrender Is impossible but they are quitting in groups of hundreds and thousands. The big job now is how to take care of the demoralized situation but progress i£ being made along that line and when the firing has ceased will move, rapidily. It’s the beginning of the end. ■ i Ho—ol '■— Argentina came into the fold with other western continent countries a little late but in time to make it impossible for refugees from the enemy countries to find haven there. The South American country may uot find it so easy to explain many of her actions the past four years but their latest move in declaring war helps in numerous ways. It will release ships held in their port tinder neutrality laws, to carry vast loads of provisions to France. Holland. Belgium and other nations of Europe where hunger is now the greatest problem. If they are in earnest their aid will be gladly accepted. One of the world’s greatest benefactors has died almost unnoticed. .He whs Gustavus Goodrich Hood of Buffalo, ice cream and candy wholesaler, who originated taffy on the Stick. Ont of this came the allday sucker, which has delighted and made sticky millions of American children. Their mothers who had to wash their faces and fingers have perhaps been less grateful. But without doubt all over the couhtry uncounted children hive, thanks to Mr. Hood, found life infinitely sweeter. —Van Wert TimedBulletin. « o It was, not wealth that gave Joseph of Arlmithava bis distlnetidn amiing then, but his kindfiess and courage.

ROMANTIC MASQUERAN MARIE BLIZARD

SYNOPSIS Daphne Willoughby thrilled North Wintridge when she eloped at 17 with Carlo Abruzzi, a concert violinist. For- eight years, until his death, she lived abroad. Letters from her to Kate Dennison and other friends back home were masterpieces of romantic imagination. After Carlo’s death, Daphne worked for four years with Corinne Hollis, New York decorator. Then she returned to the old home town where she was welcomed as a glamorous personality. Daphne remodeled the house willed her by a cousin and hired a part-time gardener called "Steve.” A vivacious subdeb, “Buff” Turner, and the latter’s beau, Perry Dawson, are helping with the gardening. One day Corinne Hollis arrived with an autoload of gay spirits from the Big City, including Alan Pembroke, architect and Daphne’s ardent suitor. After the hilarious rout, Alan returned, interrupting a talk between Daphne and Steve. When the latter left, Alan lost no time. She protested his kiss but there was no annoyance in her voice.... Two months later, the village celebrated the Fourth of July. After Kate’s supper that evening, Alan danced with Daphne to the end of the terrace, lifts her over the rail, and carries her off to a tree-shaded bench where his proposal Is punctuated by a thunder storm. He is joining the Navy Department at Washington and predicts. "You’ll send for me. ’ Next day, Daphne meets a little refugee boy at the Red Cross headquarters. CHAPTER TWELVE “What have you got?” she asked gently. He brought the box to her, halfproudly, half-fearfully, and laid it on the desk. In ft there were a few pencil stubs, some empty spools strung together, a shining agate, four marbles, and a broken toy airplane. Daphne stared with unmoving eyes for some time upon the pitiful treasure. After a moment, her arm slipped about him. The ladies said I could have them. They let me play here. I help. I nail boxes. I’m strong.” He tried to make a knot of muscle in his puny arm. “Yes, you are,” Danhne said, feeling it. She got a bottle of milk and Some sandwiches and chocolate, and gave them to him; then asked, “What’s your name?" “Juan Romere, I’m almost seven years old. !’m going to school with the Athericano boys next year.” Daphne remembered then: This

was the Spanish refugee whose mother had been a paid worker for the Bed Cross before she was taken ill. She asked him what his mother’s name was, and where they lived. She wrote the information on a pad and put it in her purse, and then sent him home. Afterwards, she sat in thoughtful silence for some time.... There must be away she could do something about it, some other way. She couldn’t have the Romero mother and child in her life, yet... Look at what she’d done about Mrs. Gates. She’d had more than one bad moment over that, knowing that inevitably she was going to ask Mrs. Gates to be her housekeeper. Then, fortunately, she’d talked to Mr. Holly, whose wife had had a shock, and now Mrs. Gates was about to be installed in the Holly home, and Roy Gates had alread? enlisted.

But the Romero pair . . . Well, she’d drop in at once and have a talk With Dr. Mclntosh. Then Buff arrived. After supper in the cool dining-room at Daphne’s housa. Miss Turner opened up, and she was mad clear through. Lying on her stomach in a position convenient to banging her fists on the floor, Buff explained, “It’s that chicken - hearted redhead, Perry Dawson!” “What’s happened? I haven’t seen him around since the paint job was finished.” “Neither have I—much. That’s the point.” “Maybe that’s just as well.” “Sez you!” exploded Buff. “Whose side are you on?” “That would depend. Could you be explicit?” “Don’t you know that I’ve gone overboard? Hook, line and sinker, lost my whole heart and got it kicked back in my face?” “I was afraid of that.” “There’s nothing to be afraid about,” Buff said morosely. “He’s keeping his tenderer self well in check. His compliments are along the line of ‘what fun’ I am, and ‘what good friends we are’, when I just know that he feels the same way about me that I do about him.” “You haven’t been throwing yourself at him?” “Certainly I have! He’s worth it, Daph. Should I let a prize get away from me? He’s really a person who’ll amount to something some day. But now he gives me a lot of talk about the difference in our social positions.” “I see what he means, my dear. It'll be years before he can even think of supporting a wife.
