Its not too late and the vegetable production is badly needed. s o—o The rainy reason ought to be abeht over for a while. And corn planting is in full progress. Let’s hojl> for a bumper crop. ■ o—o I ■pre terrible losses on Okinawa shdw how desparately the enemy is fighting and will continue to battle to jjjhe very last. L O—O Business and industry employed nearly 300,000 handicapped men an| women in 1944, the War Manpower Commission reveals, hailing the 1 ' cooperation of employers in this effort. —o The bond sale seems to be lagging in Indiana. While the sales are almost up to the average for the first AA'.o weeks, its not quite there and Mr. Pulliam urges greater effort. Buy bonds. It’s a duty and its smart. O—O Please don’t throw old newspapers, candy and chewing gum wrappers or other coverings along the streets and sidewalks. Nothing is more unsightly than litter and we can all help make the city look better by being careful about tossing pieces of paper around. O—O The FBI is making an investigation of election frauds in Indiana, according to news reports. A senate committee spent some time in the state a year ago but disagreed. Now the sleuths will ask some questions. That may cause considerable nervousness in spots. o—o Those who doubt the value of bonds should remember that the greatest business concerns in the country hold billions of dollars worth of them and are continuing to buy all they can. Os course the bonds are worth a hundred cents on the dollar. And they help win the war so the boys can come home. o—O— Walter Winchell predicts the war with Japan will be over (by New Years and possible by Christmas. Perhaps he doesn’t know much more about it than any one else but at least its encouraging. In the meantime we must meet every PLEASE!

requirement at home — AND BUY BONDS. There must be no let-up. O—o President Truman is urging that every one who possibly can. grows a Victory garden. There is no secret about it — there is a food shortage—and the only way to overcome it is to produce more. Every garden will help just that much and during the next half year, that’s mighty important. O—O According to an official opinion of Attorney General James A. Emmert, "a teacher having accumulative days who leaves one school corporation and takes employment with another school corporation, thereby loses the benefits of such accumulative days acquired under such previous contract of employment, under the provisions of Chapter 231 of the Acta of 1945.” O—O The reassignment of Dr. M. O. Lester as pastor of the First Methodist church here is pleasing to members and to the community in general. Dr. Lester and his family have made many friends during their stay in Decatur and we are glad they will continue to lend their services in the work of the church here another year. The annual conference was held in Huntington. Rev. A. P. Teter of Huntington was appointed superintendent of the Fort Wayne district. O—O Wednesday is Decoration Day aud will be appropriately observed here and all over the nation. Business will cease and our thoughts will be for those brave men of the past and present wars who have given their all to preserve our rights to the pursuit of happiness. It is a day for reverence and for meditation. Let’s hope that the world conference will adopt a workable charter that will prevent recurrence of the conflicts of the past that have taken so many fine young men. In this city the program will be under auspices of Adams Post 43, American Legion. -u , Writing in Harper’s Magazine, C. Hartley Grattan says factories cannot employ all the millions of persons in the armed forces and war production, but that this need not cause despair, for the first essential of a healthy postwar economy is that workers be properly distributed—a larger proportion in service industries than in factories. Service industries must, be given every opportunity They include the wholesale and retail trade, transportation, communications, utilities, farming, bankers, brokers, insurance people, office workers, hotel keepers, domestic servants, teachers, publishers, newspapers, advertising, radio, amusements, all professional people, etc. Mr. Grattan is correct. You can’t build a peacetime economy on a wartime foundation. O—O The Farm Program: In his column in the Indianapolis Star, Maurice Early tells of efforts to be made to make farming more attractive mentions the activities of E. J. Fricke, former Adams county resident. He says: “How can the best persons be induced to remain on the land and further th(| art of food production by the most scientific methods? The Indiana Farm Bureau, putting into action some of the ideas of Purdue, thinks it has an answer. “Returning Gls and the farm boye and girls who have attended modern consolidated high schools and coilegos are not proud of the old homestead. Lack of conveniences in most of the rural homes, obsolete architecture, poor landscaping and inefficiently arranged buildings are all factors which.cause many of the potentially good farmers to find careers in the cities. “To offset all this and to make farming the highest type of vocation —as it is in Denmark and Sweden—the Indiana Farm Bueau has

foundation.

established the farm building and maintenance department with E. J. Fricke as manager. “It is now mailing to farmers a booklet prepared in co-operation with R. B.

CHAPTER NINETEEN HELEN MOVED closer to Philip. She slipped her hand into his and he pressed it gently. “I like you all the time, Philip,” she said. “But when you talk like that, so kindly, so sympathetically, so nnderstandingly, I like you more than ever.” “Do you really, Helen ? !! Helen nodded, and watched a weary bird flutter down into a dense growth of scrub oak. “Then maybe I should take up preaching,” Philip said, smiling. “Hire me a pulpit, so’s you’d maybe learn to love me, instead of just like me.” He turned to her, slipped his arm about her. “Will it be necessary to do that?” . “No, Philip—never.” Helen was silent for a moment. Then she said: “I read in the paper that Zoe was back.” “Yes, so I hear.” “I haven’t laid eyes on her.” “Feel badly about it?” “No, relieved. I rather hate the first meeting.” “Well, don’t. You’re too fine a person, Helen, to let a girl like that jet you down, or— ’’ “ —or get iny goat?” Helen said. "Exactly.” "Philip.” "Yes, Helen?” "Paul wants me to fly With him now and then. Patrol duty, you know.” “Are you going to?” "I’ve been thinking seriously about it. I love flying, you know.” “Yes, I know.” "Do you suppose the town would gasp in holy horror if I did go up with him some time ?” “Suppose it does?" said Philip. “You are free, white and 21." “Twenty-six, to be exact,” said Helen. Odd, she thought, how she always wanted to be so honest and out in the open with Philip. "Would you gasp in holy horror ?” “Nope,” Philip said softly. "I see no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy flying in a plane if you want to.” “Thanlcs, Philip.” “Why thank me?" “I don’t know exactly,” Helen admitted. “But I wouldn’t want to do anything that you considered foolish, or scandalous.” Philip looked down at her. He watched the moonlight doing all sorts of fetching things to her wheat-colored hair. “Darling,” he said, “I’m so much in love with you, I—l—l’m a little crazy.” Helen began pulling on her stockings. “Come on,” she said, “we’ve got to be getting home.” She reached for a shoe. “It’s wonderful picnic weather. I think I’ll take Saturday off and Dick and I will have a picnic together. Do you think he'd like it?” “Hte’d love it,” sa,id Philip. "He’s been after me to picnic with him ever since the first downright warm day we had." “AH right," said Helen, "you make the date with him for me. I’ll have Zeke fix us up a real spread, and 111 borrow Nebuchadnezzar from Aunt Minerva. I know a grand place for a picnic—out on that overlooking our . little lake;

by Jacotb E. Brewster, jeweler, from his wife, Clara J. Brewster. They were married July 9, 1943 and separated May 16, 1945. They had no children. Cruel and inhuman treatment is charged and the plaintiff alleges that liis wife failed to per form her duties in caring for their home o Max Lanier of the St. Louis Cardinals is « baseball rarity—a converted right-handed pitcher. He started in baseball as a right-hand-er, injured his right arm and then started throwing left and became one of the best left-handers in the game.

Were you ever there ?” “Oh, yes, several times,” said 1 Philip. 1 Helen watched him. “With a i beautiful girl, I’ll bet,” she said teasingly. < Philip shook his head. “You’re I the only girl I have looked at since : —Diana walked out on me. I told 1 you I fell in love with your pic- ; ture, didn’t 1?” I “Yes, but there was time before that” i “Not for me,” said Philip. “Don’t < forget I had a son to look after.” “Bless you, Philip,” Helen said i softly. “I’m going to help you with i Dick from now on.” 1 They got up. Philip took Helen in his arms for a moment And then they walked back to the car. “Don’t forget to make that date : for me with Dick,” Helen said just before they parted at the gate of the Miller homestead. “I won’t,” said Philip. “Want to come along with us?” “I’d love to,” Philip replied, “but we’re having a conference Saturday with some men from Washington.” , “Oughtn’t I be there," said Helen, "to take notes?” “No. We’ll get one of the typists. You and Dick trot along and enjoy yourselves.” • • • Then Saturday, while on the way to the picnic with, Dick, Helen saw •Zoe. It was in the long, quiet lane that skirted the Wentworth plantation. She saw Zoe coming toward her, her arms fv.H of flowers, and she leaned out a little to get a better look at her. It was the first time she had seen Zoe since she had walked off with Paul, having hurried away from Lakeville before the two of them had returned from their honeymoon. Zoc was lovely, she admitted. The sunlight touched her reddish hair to burnished gold, and with the vine-covered fence which bordered the lane for a background, with the mass of flowers held against her breast, she was rather like a magazine cover. “Hello, there!” Helen called. Zoc looked up, shaded her eyes against the sun. “Well, Helen Miller, of all people!” she exclaimed. She hurried forward and stood beside the carriage while Nebuchadnezzar nibbled a green twig. “You look like something out of an old-farhioned romance!” “I hope,” said Helen, "you mean that for a compliment.” “Oh, I do!” Zoe said. She peered around at Dick, who sat straight and dignified beside Helen in the front seat. “And little Dickie Brownell! How are you, Dickie?” “I’m all right, thank you, ma’am,” said Dick. “Only I wish you wouldn’t call me ‘Dickie.’ That’s what they call canary birds.” Zoe laughed, but Helen didn’t. "I’m sorry,” Zoe said. "Shall I call you Richard?" “If you wish. Only Dad and Miss 1 Sellen call me ‘Dick.’ I like that.” “Very well, Dick It shall be." Zoe then turned her attention to Helen. "Paul told me you were back,” she said, “and I’ve wanted to run in to see you, but he also told me you were busy at the plant.” j. “A defense worker.” said Helen.
