Wacker Drive, Chicago, Dr. It’s going to take Japan quite a while to restablish her silk and tea business which made it possible for her to build a navy o—o Herr Hitler is probably not geting much satisfaction now in being the hiad man. His own is in danger —o Major General Hose, a brave and fearless soldier, was captured and then shot as he was removing hi* pistols to turn over to the enemy. In other words he was murdered. O—o Who is in power in Japan? Is it Hirohito, the army or the navy? All three claim the prestige but pass the buck when disaster comes. And it’s coining regularly these days. —O—O— Even with all the rationing of foods and materials, it is a little surprising how well every one seems to get along. There has been little if any real suffering in the mid-west. O—o Cougre small Gillie is still hunting a -hirt. lie requires a 16'i inch collar and 3fi-incb sleeves an 1 ftere are none on the market Books like he will have to advertise for bids and let a contract. O—O The seventh war loan campaign will open May 11th and continue un'il June 30th. Bonds purchased now will apply to thi.- quota, so pick up all of these valuable securities you can. O—o The third army is getting so close to Berlin they may decide to spend the week end there. They are taking city after city and apparently without much organized opposition O—O The farmers are hoping that the rains ease up until they get some more of the spring work out of the way. They have a good start but it’s time now to go on with planting. O—O The county is increasing its force of men, raising wages and providing new equipment. Let's hope that means the highways will be well improved. There is much work to be done. O—O Even those who are supposed to enforce the new liquor law in Indiana seem puzzled at some of the provisions. In due time the regulations will be made clear we presume. For a copy of the Decatur Daily Democrat go to The Stopback on sale each evening ,P.. . 4c i —

Let's clean up Decatur and tie ready when the city trucks start their work of gathering the debris that has piled up through the winter. O—o Decatur should have an air field by all meauH and it should be as good as possible. There is a growing demand foi this improvement ami no doubt it will come as soon as the new laws are proclaimed to be in effect. O—O Huntington county has joined the others in this part of the state and quarantined the dogs. Instructions have been issued <o watch stray canines carefully and report to the authorities. The rabies scare seems to be spreading. O—O There seems to be a good many people, some of them quite prominent. who fear the San Francisco conference will be succesatnl. It is not a political move but an effort to plan for a future world that we all hope will be happier than it has been the past five years. O—O Perhaps -ono of those coal miners just want a vacation. Any wav quite a bunch of them even refusei to return after their chief. John L. Lewis ordered them to gel back on the jobs. That’s the trouble wi'h the annual wage settlement of lb" miners. The fight goes on until a million or two man-hours have been lost and just now that's certainly not good. O—O One of the first things that wiT happen in Germany when peace >s assured will be the establishment of free newspapers 'hat can tel! the people what is happening over the world and what has happened the past several years during which 'time there has been a complete news black-out there i xcept for such items ae the government wished them to have. Many will be surprised at the facts. O—O The tragic death of Elmer U Getting in an aircraft accident at Corpus Christi, Texas, has broug it . adtic to this community where the young man was favorably known. He would have completes* his training ae a flyer and received hi- wings in two week-. He enlisted in December, 1912. and had been in training since. Ilia parents. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Getting reside on route one and Elmer was a tnembet of St. Johns chuicn. Our sympathies are extended. O—O Predictions are made that the war with Japan will go on seveial years but we haven't been convinced that the leaders of that country will be so dumb. They know by what has happened in Europe, in the Philippines and on other islands, what to expect and we can’t imagine them being willing to take it if there is any " iy to escape. Unconditional surrender would be far better for them and one of these days we expect them to throw in the towel. O—O When the war in Europe Is over we will all begin thinking more seriously about the rehabilitation of this country and the wor.d. There will be many activities. Each community will get busy and at least discuss plans. How soon they can be put into effect will depend much on how- rapidly we can clean up the v.ar in the Pacific and that depends some on how much Britain and Russia help. We have an idea it will move rapidly but that's something no one can predict with assurance. In the meaulinte we will meet every requirement that will help to restore peace over the world. O—O Rationing Changes: Both red and blue ration stamps will become valid on the first day of each month in the future, the - OPA has announced. Blue stamps

Both blue and red mimp.- will In validated in bln ks of live. inak:,'e a total of 5u blue pointr tor canii' i fruits and vegetables, and an equal number of red points lor meats and fats. The new plan. OPA said, will make it easier for housewives ami: merchants to determine when new ration stamps will lie good. Under the old plan, five red stamps weie validated for each four-week p - iod, or six stamps when the rationing period covered live weeks. Thus the putting of red points on a monthly basis will mean a reduction of about six pen-cut in the a tual number of red points hou-.-wives receive. The OPA said, however, that reductions will be male in point values to equalize this. 0 Meals for the more than 50 animals quartered at Franklin Pa k in Boston cost tie city about $23.500 per year. ■ • " • 1

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Daphne felt very confident as she I lingered over her breakfast and her thoughts, and then she remembered : Mrs. Gates. She was to call for her ' at eleven. Steve usually came about 1 p.m. She must be very careful now. It wouldn't do at all to have the village know that Mrs. Daphne Willoughby Abruzzi was courting her gardener. The fact that her intentions couldn’t have been more honorable wouldn’t help at all. Daphne got into a lemon-colored wool frock, tied a bandana over her hair and put on her rain coat. Before she went downstairs, she carried a bowl of bright-hued zinnias from her own room into the west bedroom. She stopped downstairs long enough to light a fire. Everything must look nice and cheery for Mrs. Gates. Everything must be as nice for everyone else as it was for Daphne herself. She would like to have stood on the steps of the City Hall and tossed gold pieces about. If Daphne had a qualm about anyi one that morning, she would have I been uneasy about Mrs. Amelia ■ Gates, and if there weren’t canaries singing their heads off in her heart, it would have been heavy. The days of her privacy were over. But Mrs. Gates, Daphne decided I during their brief ride from the Holly’s home, was going to be all right. She was Scotch, friendly, not loquacious. She was neither tiresomely grateful over what Daphne had done, nor sentimental ■ over her son. She launched into no confidences when Daphne came upon I her unpacking her small trunk and setting up her gallery of family photographs. She said directly, “The green tomatoes in the kitchen ought to be put up at once. I’ll get at them this afternoon. Soon’s I get my things put away I’ll see what’s needed.” (i Daphne stood in the doorway. “1 here’s a box of mason jars in the cellar.” Mrs. Gates tied on a large white apron. “I’d best get them now. They’ll need to be scalded.” “It’s a heavy box, Mrs. Gates. You couldn’t carry it up, but Steve . . . that’s my man”—Daphne swallowed hard—“that is, the man who helps around here. He’ll be here soon. You ask him to bring up the box. And anything else you want done. I’m sure he’ll be glad.” Daphne felt as if she were smothering. Then she left, saying, “You’ll find things for your lunch. I'll be , out the rest of the day.” It was better to go to Red Cross —much better than going hot ami cold because Steve was around, and , making an idiot of herself when she'd tell him she bad something to say to him. She had plenty to say, but she wouldn’t say it. Daphne feared she would babble

1 and bleat like a school-girl asking I a handsome professor why he couldn't see she was languishing I for him. So Daphne went to Red Cross where she spent most of the day. Later she went shopping for such important things as two-cent stamps, and a packet of needles and a bottle of iodine, and then, unable to stay away a moment longer, drove home swiftly and walked into her house as the clock struck six. Something delicious was cooking, but it was not chili sauce. “I’ll have to make it tomorrow, Miss Daphne,” Mrs, Gates explained, “I couldn’t find the jars in the cellar.” “Why didn’t you ask Steve about them?” Daphne thought her voice sounded perfectly natural. “He’s probably put them away somewhere.” “There’s nary a man been here today, lass,” declared Mrs. Gates, shaking her head. "I see.” Daphne walked towards the door, her lower lip between her teeth. “Is the hired man supposed to come every day?” asked Mrs. Gates. “Yes,” Daphne replied. “He’s supposed to work here every day.” Airs. Gates finally observed that I you couldn’t depend on any hired I man these days, adding, “I’ll give • him a piece of my mind when he . comes around.” , “No,” said Daphne, with a pccu- ' liarly mirthless smile, “I'll give . him a piece of mine—if he ever ! comes back.” • “Does he drink, ma’am?” i “I don’t think so.” I “You owe him any money?” “Only four days’ wages.” “If you owe him money, he’ll be back.” “I wonder,” Daphne said to her- ! self. Serving Daphne the first real meal she’d had in her house in some time, Mrs. Gates observed, “The , wind’s up again. Looks like the rain ; and wind’s never going to stop. , j ’Minds me of autumn in Cornwall.” j Yes, the wind was up again, i moaning around the house. And the I shutter began its insistent banging I again. After dinner, Daphne went into , the living-room and picked up a > book, and was fifty pages into it, . without remembering a word she'd : read, when she heard a new sound ’ through the racket of the storm. It was a faint hammering some--1 where in back of the house. : A sirnt smile spread over Daj>'»'s face. She listened, put ; down *or book, went into the hall. I and denned her raincoat. She I I stopped long enough to get a flashi light, then went out onto tne bad. : | porch, oponinz the door’ »6ftly. 1 i Daphne clicked the light, aiming it at the window to the left of the i porch. •
