O—O Buy that.extra bond this week. Seventh War loan must be subscribed and time is getting short. - O—O President Elliott of Purdue says peacetime conscription will be disagreeable and unpopular, but in his opinion must come to preserve peace. O—O Another important date comes soon?—lt’s the opening of the fishing season and the boys are get-ting‘-their rods and reels and bait for, next Saturday. O—O Watch the parking rules in the dovqitown district. It’s a tough job.for the police and you can malice it much easier by complying with the ordinance. O—O ■* Cut the weeds before they get toofltauch the best of the gardens and .lawns. With .the showers and with..warmer weather, they will soon be out of control. And they look bad too.

dollars was wagered on the outcome. O—o Hitler's ghost has come back to make the headlines. Marshal Zhukov, who took Berlin, says the fuhrer was married to his mistress two days before the big city fell and lie believes they escaped and are now in hiding, probably somewhere in Spain. O—O The first postwar car to be turned out is now on the market. It’s a Nash and said to be a beauty that will run 26 miles on a gallon of gas and can be marketed at a low figure. However, don't get excited and go rushing off to look for one, for so far none have been released for the general consumer. O—o Everett Spellman, a Marion county farmer, drove to Indianapolis, got tight and careened all over the streets in his farm tractor. He hit a couple of care and otherwise > caused damage that took him to court where Judge Niblick fined him $225 and sent him to jail for six months. O—o Germans will not find easy going in their search for the comforts of life. “Work or starve” is the order that has gone out from headquarters of the Allied Council now in charge there. All adults must register and those who refuse to work will not receive ration cards with which to secure food and other necessities. O—O One postwar problem seems certain —better parking facilities - and that’s certainly true here in Decatur, where it was needed eveii before the war started. Plans should be started and carried forward as rapidly as possible, for the community which overlooks this necessary convenience will stand still or hack up instead of moving ahead. Let’s give it some real thought soon. O—o— If you get through the next two months without being too hungry, you will probably be safe. Just now the shortage on meats, poultry, eggs and sugar is causing many inconvenience® but • all of these excepting sugar are expected to ease up in August and some say meats will be plentiful by autumn. In the meantime the Victory gardens will help millions of families to get hy on vegetables, which ought to help. --0 The recreation program for D< catur youngsters is now on at Worthman field and will provide many hours of pleasure for the boys and girls. The softball season also got under way last night with four teams in the league, and you are invited to attend whenever it’s convenient. It’s the best way we know of to relax after a tough day at the office or shop. O—O When the city of Chicago voted recently on proposals for bond issues that involved millions of dollars, less than twenty percent of the qualified voters went to the bother to go to the polls. Many said they didn’t understand the proposals, others felt it wouldn't make any difference whether they voted or not, and some even said they didn't care. Yet many of the same people will kick and complain when the results are manifest. People are funny. O—O Can You Match This? Can you match this? If you think buying a few small War Bonds as a “patriotic gesture” and for the benefit of the “front office,” only to cash them 60 days after purchase, is good business for your cdfintry. and yourself, youlve made a sorry judgment. Listen to this. Major Lester J Chase went to the Philippines as an instructor to the Philippine Army. That in itself was a degree of sacrifice in spite of the

He put the • whole thing in War Bonds, even to the 49 cents via War Saving ( Stamps. Major Chase could have made up for “lost time” with that sort of | money. But he elected otherwise. You see, he had seen Jap atrocities. Those of us at home will dig deeper and buy more and bigger War Bonds in the Mighty Seventh War Loan.

' ’ CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE ZOE WALKED slowly back across the field to the house. She remembered once again that farewell scene she had shared with Mike Waterman. “I’ve decided to settle in Washington for good—go on living here even after the war, iwith trips elsewhere, of course—vacations and all that,” he had said. Yes, she thought, and the woman who was znarried to him would share that pleasant, exciting life. Mike’s wife wouldn’t have to plod across a muddy field to argue with him —beg him to join her on a week-end party. “Mrs. Michael Waterman, Chevy Chase, Washington, D. C." . . . Mrs. Paul Wentworth, A Farm, Lakeville, N. C., R. F. D.” What a contrast in addresses! Then she suddenly remembered her mother. . . . Darkened rooms —periodic sick headaches. . . . Never really having a home. . . . 1 Moved from hotel to hotel. Never staying in any one place any length of time. “Darling,” her mother had once said, “I want you to be pappy, and there's no happiness to be had with a man you can’t respect” And at another time, she’d said: “See something of life besides poverty—and small towns. Marry a man with enough to keep you comfortable — a man who can give you a real home, but one who also takes you to exciting places. I wouldn’t have minded moving so much if only your father had moved forward—to bigger and bigger places. But he didn't—just one dull small town after another.” And recalling her • mother’s words and advice, Zoe {sighed. She had honestly thought ;that in marrying Paul she was marrying the sort of man her mother had in mind. But evidently she had made a terrible mistake. So far as Paul was concerned she could stick in Lakeville or out on the plantation tmtiLshe shriveled up and died of sheer unadulterated boredom. She quickened her step. Her chin went up. Her shoulders went back. Mike Waterman was probably the man her mother was thinking about —or anyway, not knowing Mike, her mother had his type in mind when she was visualizing her daughter’s life. Mike Waterman, the man who did things, went places. Paul Wentworth, the man who ran a plantation and stood still. Men—men—men. ... She hurried into the living room, sat down at the desk. She drew out a sheet of notepaper bearing ths embossed words “Wentworth Near the Pines,” and began writing a letter of acceptance. “Dear Mike: I shall be delighted to come up for your house warming. But my husband has to decline with regretSlt is-the planting season, an<f he * i While back at the Miller plant, all that morning, excitement ran high. It continued after working hours, when Philip stopped off at the Miller homestead to talk about the award with Miss Minerva, Helen and Aggie.

“I hope,” Philip said, “that they will give us time enough to get all decorated.” “How do you mean?" Helen &skc(l« “Gosh, child,” Philip laughed, "haven’t you seen the newsreels and the pictures in the papers? How shipyards and factories are all hung with flags and bunting—with a band playing ?“ "You mean we're going to have a band ?” “You bet we are." “If all the members," said Miss Minerva; “haven’t been drafted. I’m afraid what members are left are such old-timers they’ll have to come on crutches and tn roller chairs." “Be that much more Impressive,” said Philip. “Especially with Mr. Carlson loading—a veteran of the other world war." Aggie said: "I knew something would happen if I came down to work for the plant!” “You don’t mean you’re taking all the credit, do you?” said Helen. Aggie chuckled. "Well, why not?" she said. "You didn’t get the *E’ untij I did start to work, did you?" "Maybe Aggie is luck," said Philip. “Come over here, Aggie, and let me touch you." “Luck, my eye!" said Miss Minerva. “Hard work’s done it. That, and fighting priorities and threatened strikes." She shook her head slowly. "I shall frame the letter—and pray that soon I shall be manufacturing axe handles." “How about your speech?" said Philip. “You can help me with that one evening when you’re free. I don’t want it to be too flowery—nor too much like a fireside chat." “And,” said Helen, “for heaven’s sake, don’t talk down to people." “You won't have to worry about that," said Miss Minerva. “The workers deserve most of the credit —and I shall tell them so." Philip got up to ga “Why don’t you stay to supper?" Miss Minerva said. “Thanks. But I’ve missed too many meals at home here of late,” Philip replied. “My son will begin to think he’s a war orphan for a fact.”

“I tell you what do,” Miss Minerva said. “Come in Sunday for noon-day dinner and bring Dick with you. I promised him he could explore our attic. And while he’s doing that, you and I can be writing my speech.” "It’s a date," said Philip. He turned to Helen. “Come on,” he said, “and drive out with me. Aunt Dufay's having fricasseed chicken and dumplings." "You make my mouth water,” said Helen. “But she’s not prepared for cojnpany." H ' ’ ."AUnt pulcy’s always prepared for company, ’“said Philip. “Besides, if You don’t come, Dick and I will be eating fricasseed chicken all day tomorrow.” "Do you mind, Aunt Minerva?" Helen said. “Can you and Aggie spare my company for a while?” “Go 'long With you!” said Miss Minerva, “Aggie and I’U play a lit-
