I weather does. It’s one game that ' la eujoyed most when the old sun ■ is boiling and the pop venders do- , iug a sell-out. —o Perhaps Hitler is hidden awiy 'land ta writing the sequel to “Mein l Kampf." That ought to be one of the best sellers if he sticks to the tacts ibut have been recorded sin-e I • , he wrote the original and started • to carry out its predictions. -0 Our men in service in the jungles I I and at sea carry matches that will 1 light after being under water many J hours. Even matches are'to be iinI proved in the golden post-war perI iod. —o j The Indiana Liquor Commission j is in the midst of dishing out I licenses to the beer wholesalers | who will operate the business un- ' dec the new set-up. That's a job ! where there are several applicants I I as there are in most localities. O—o—. : V-E day should come sometime | before the Fourth of July in the 1 opinion of Congressman Buell Snyder who presented his views to j President Truman who it is said ; agreed. The announcement says it ' could be done sooner but at great risk to the armed forces of the Allies. —o i The Berne Community Associi atiou which voted some time ago j not to dispose of the auditorium will meet Monday evening to deI cide on plans for the future use of j the building. Unless this is dene. ■ it is said, owners will be compelled i to sell it to private individuals and 1 the problem seems to be rather dtf- j ficult. O—G There were fewer fatalities but ■ more automobile accidents during the first three months of this year it is reported by Col. Killian. In | other words people were luckier j I' than usual. There were 168 deaths | I this year as compared to 195 last | i year but there were 2,000 more' I .-weidepta Unless we use every) | precaution results may soon be- | come quite alarming. —o More bad news for Japan—Rus-1 I sia has appropriated twenty-seven • [ billion dollars for war purposes for | the fiscal year beginning July Ist. That makes a total of over a hundred billions that has been arrang* ed for by the big three and since the war in Europe is practically over it looks as though the FatEast may expect a combined attack that will make Japan just a grease spot on the face of the earth unless they wake up and agree to unconditional surrender.

Japan says the ft-29 is the moil effective weapon developed and is "wiping out the Japanese race.’ They report more than 3,000,006 casualties the past few months and say 7*0,000 homes have been destroyed in six cities of that country. They can stop by submitting I to the terms of the Allies and I should. —o Anthony Eden says the world conference ought to conclude it® work within a month and in his first address to the delegatee, he toid them they “can and must agree" and must finish the most tremendous job ever undertaken — preliminary steps in keeping the world free for decades to come. —o According to the headlines and broadcasts, Mussolini has been captured. Petain has surrendered, Goering is dying from heart trouble, dozens of generals have been taken. Hitler is in Berlin and cannot escape. Looks like the crumbling of the once mighty empire and her military machine. —o—o—- — Truman's address at the opening of the world conference was sincere. He warned that we still have the choice between “world chaos and the enforcement of peace." He urged that differences be laid aside and the constitution for a world organization that will stand the test be written and adopted. It's a tremendously important task and everyone hopes the delegates have the courage and ability to conclude it as near right as humanly possible. Our toughest job lies ahead in j the Seventh War Loan which form-, ally opens May 14th and ends June 30th. The goal of seven billion for individuals —tour billion in E bonds alone, is the highest ever set as the people's quota. The overall | quota is fourteen billion. The treas- i ury hopes to raise more money I from individuals in two drives this! year than was raised in three drives * in 1944. In addition to this money being needed to finance the war, large sales of war bonds represent our greatest protection against inflation. II I IIQ “"O'. MUSSOLINI ARREST (Continued From Page One) stafr of the Italian army. He also was struck from the list of Italian marshals. According to the Milan national liberation radio Mussolini and his henchmen were arrested by customs guards at the Lake Como town of Lecco, on the Swiss frontier. Bern reported that 11 Duce's wife, Donna Rachele Mussolini, [ along with “several Fascist personalities,” had been denied entry into Switzerland by the Swiss government. A United Press dispatch from Zurich said that Mussolini's son, Vittorio and nephew Vito, were with him for some time at Porlezza, 16 miles north of Como. However, the patriot reports made no mention of them. o GESTAPO CHIEF (Continued From Page One) entertained, and that the closest accord prevails between the three powers." Thus 'was renewed implicitly the warning to the remnants of Germany that there was no need to try the old dodge of playing [ the Anglo-Americans against the Russians. o ; O — O Adams County Memorial Hospital b o Admitted: John D.
