President Roosevelt was loved by the people because he loved people. —o The racing ban is to be lifted sopn, it is reported. Those who csHoy losing on the ponies can again go at it. —o The words of President Roosevelt, more than twelve years ago, “The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself,” applies today. —o Get the old clothes ready and watch for announcements as to how to dispose of them so they can be sent to the needy people over the world. o—o The spring cyclones and thunder storms arc causing much damage I even though the news has been crowded off front pages by the termination of the war. O—o— Mr. Truman is the second president of the United States who was born west of the Mississippi. He la a native of Missouri and Mr. If Co ver was born in lowa and electCalifornia. ♦ , O—O The strain of public life is great. Within a year, two of the greatest humantarians of this country. Wendell Willkie and Franklin D. Roosevelt have died. Only their memory can guide us on to a better world condition. O—o The daily newspaper at ludepen deuce, Mo., couldn't publish in extra when their home townsman became president of the United States. The paper shortage is given as the reason. Something wrong. Surely they could have raked up enough for that occasion. O—O Every one has expressed sorrow over the death of Mr. Roosevel*, ueltlg sincere words and •excellent rhetoric but that’s not the test. It ■will come now as we settle down to business and continue the battle for an enduring peace and restoration of prosperity in this country. O—O The city must he prepared to move on the order from the state board of health to install a sewage disposal plait when the manpower and material situation improves. They must employ an engineer and prepare plans towards that improvement. Mayer Stults says the administration favors building storm sewers at the same time and immediate action is expected.

As we start another week, the people of America gravely realize that the war must continue until victory is complete in order that enduring peace may be arranged. These are serious times and every one can help get through the crisis. • The first duty of each person is to buy all the bonds he can and hold those he has. O—o President Truman has the confidence of the leaders of the nation. His bid for cooperation from members of congress is wise and the response seems sincere. Ilia record is better than most people felt during the heat of the campaign. H? is a man of excellent habits, has the ability to get along with people, is a hard worker and will give his best to conip'ete the winning of the war and convert to peace. O—o There was no fanfare, no profusion of flowers, no great parade and no spectacular display as the beloved president was laid to rest. It was all very simple. President Truman attended the services at Washington and Hyde Park. Governor Dewey, who was the opposing candidate in last November's election, paid his last respects to his president by attending the White House service. That could only happen in a great democracy like ours. O—O The memory of Mr. Roosevelt will live long after the youngest person now living has joined him on that other shore. Four times, successively he was elected president of the United States, an honor that could not be achieved by any but a really great man. His duties were so numerous and he performed them so well that most of us, including his critics, got to thinking when a crisis arose that some how the president would get us out of the dilema and he Usually did. O—O As the news of President Roosevelt’s death circulated, Thursday evening, almost every radio program was cancelled and news was interspersed by expressions of regret from 2 leaders all over the world and by sacred music. Business ceased in the larger cities as people sought news in the hope that there was a mistake about the announcement. People who had ordered dinners in the expensive cases left their food untouched and there was little desire for entertainment or sports. It indicated the sorrow felt over the passing of the greatest man of his time. O—o “The deep tragedy of it all is that his passing comes at a time when the American arms in Europe are so near to their cherished goal and that he did not live to see the triumph of American might against the forces of intolerance and aggression. His leadership will be sorely missed during the trying nays ahead. Fortunate are we, however, in the fact that the war will go on to a victorious conclusion under the new leadership of President Truman.”—Statement by Congressman Gillie on the death of President Roosevelt. -—O—O—— First the Yanks stumbled onto Germany’s entire gold hoard, plus billions in folding money and priceless paintings. Then they found the Nazi who had -stolen most of the manuscripts and art treasures belonging to German Jewry. And about the same time British troops came upon Hermann Goering’s super de luxe custom-built automobile. Maybe the Germans did invent Santa Claus and originate our manner of celebrating Christmas, but they’ve fallen down badly on one tradition —they jttst don't seem to be able to hide the presents very Well.—Goshen News-Democrat. O—O - ' Maurice Early says in his column: “It is now discovered that administration plans to make it possible for the G.O.P. to control

all the county alcoholic beverage boards was not actually enacted by the last Legislature. Therefore, the county boards will continue to be bipartisan as they have been. Evening up of the political complexion of the local board is done by the state board. It is to continue the policy of appointing either a Democrat or a Republican member to maintain the political balance of the four-member county board. * o- ♦ ; ♦ I Modern Etiquette | 9y ROBERTA LEE | Q. In serving gpests, is it correct to fill wine glasses? •A. Glasses should be poured only half full. Good wine has a pleasing aroma and there should be enough in the glass for it to escape. Q. When there are five or six persons in the party, who should order the talble d'hote meal iu a restaurant? iA. Each person usually gives his individual order to the waiter. Q. When a man goes to buy the wedding -ring is it all right for his fiance to accompany him? A. Yes, if She has any preference as to size, width, etc. 4

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “Why don’t you try getting starry-eyed over molecules?” suggested Daphne solemnly. “I have,” said Buff, “but that’s not what’s burning me up. Let me tell you ... Steve and Perry and I were alone in the study. Steve tells Perry about something he’s doing and my hero says he wants to see it, so Steve says will he come around tonight. Get it?” “Yes, and no. Steve is very close to discovering something wonderful and ...” “I don’t care if he’s discovered six new moons! The point is that tonight is Perry’s only night off. So I chipped up and said, ‘He can’t. He’s taking me skating.’ Then Perry gets all grandpappy and says, ‘What do you think of her, sir? Isn’t she cute?’ and Steve, in that far-away-oh-so-polite voice says, ‘Very.’ ” “Well?” “Well! I got mad and said, ‘What have you got against me?’ And he says, ‘Nothing, my dear.’ ” Daphne looked at her watch again. “I’ve got to go, Buff. Maybe I can have a little talk with Steve today, but I think you’ve dreamed it up.” “I have not! Ask him as soon as you get there, and I’ll be waiting when you get home.” Daphne promised. When she got to the lab, Steve was waiting for her and she sensed excitement in the air. “Come here,” he said at once, ‘‘l want you to look at something, Daphne.” She bent over the microscope. “That?” she asked, sighting a wriggling object. “That unimaginably tiny spherical particle is”—-he paused dramatically—“the flu virus.” Daphne stared at the speck with renewed respect. “Did I ever tell you about the Hemophilus influenzae?” “No.” “At the last meeting of the So1 ciety of American Bacteriologists, it was reported .. .” Steve was off and Daphne was so entranced that I she forgot all about Buff and her promise, and it wasn’t until it was 1 dark, and she was washing up, that she remembered. “Steve, let’s have a heart-to-,heart talk about Buff and Perry. And don’t try to get out of it. They’re kids and I think they’re in 10ve.... You don’t want them to be, do you?” He laughed a little drily. “That’s one of those things . . . kids can’t do anything about, I guess. But, Buff...” “You don’t approve of her?” “She’s a pretty child and quite charming, I think. But, look, you I don’t know anything about young ’ Dawson. I do. Perry’s a born sci--1 entist. Scientists don’t have much ( time to think of ... of love.” “Don’t they?” she asked interestedly. “They oughtn’t to. Not marriage ai»i.w*& i -..Not when they haven’t —— ,—

any money. Perry Dawson hasn’t It may be years before he makes it.” “Well!” She rolled her sleeves down and snapped her cuff with a smart click. “You’re way ahead of me. We seem to be talking about different things.” “I don’t think so. Buff is head-over-heels in love with him. She’s attractive, and she’s dangerous.” “So is a canary.” “Suppose Dawson is really in love with her?” “Suppose he is?” she asked hotly. “Is the laboratory a monastery?” He smiled, “Hardly, but please excuse my seeming dramatic when I assure you that science matters more to men like me, and Dawson, than anything else. We’re hunters, Daphne. We’re after big game. We have a fever. Once a man goes after bugs, that’s what he has to do alt, his life. Nothing should s.tand in the way of it. . . . Aside entirely from the fact that a great scientist may be lost to mankind, there is the lesser fact that a scientist diverted from his purpose, or distracted in it, may make himself and his unfortunate wife a couple of wretchedly unhappy people.” “So, I take it, all a scientist needs to make his life happy and complete is the privilege of his laboratory and his freedom?” “No,” he said, perching on the arm of her chair. “I certainly didn’t mean to make it sound that way. A man couldn’t ask anything more of life than a good wife to share it. But we were talking about our ■ young friends. How can they marry? The girl is rich. Dawson isn’t.” “Buff has money of her own.” Something flashed across Steve’s face and he got up and went to 1 stand with his back to the hearth. The black look lingered in his eyes ! as he declared, “Do you think he’s the kind of a lad who’d let his wife support him? Do you think she ■ would be content to have him spend ; most of his waking hours for the : rest of his life in a laboratory?” _ - “I don’t know,” Daphne said honestly, “But when a woman loves ’ a man—” t “I can finish it for you. She wants to help her husband. She wants - him to use all his talents, and be . recognized, and have fun before . he’s too old. Slowly, surely, she be--1 gins to mold him. He becomes fa- , mous. He yanks tonsils, or weighs babies, or gets a reputation as a s great surgeon. Maybe because he t wears striped pants he’ll get ten , times what a good general practitioner gets. They don’t live on his wife’s money any more. He’s rich now. His wife has done it all for J him. He’s probably a lot healthier, 1 too, because he plays golf and ten- ' nis. The only thing he’s lost is his scientific soul.” 1 It was very quiet when Steve finished. Daphne watched a log fall - apart in a shower of sparks, and I then said softly, “You know, don’t e i you, from experience?” tj “Yes,” he said, “I know.” His
