Wat expenditures do not stop abruptly with the end of fighting. In the first six months after the Armistice in World War I, expenditures were greater than In the six months just preceding. You need t your own future security. Buying War Bonds assures both. O—o t ~ The President has put a stick in t the wheel of that ‘ Utopian fiscal chariot. His attitude inspires con- ( lidence. It is evidence that he is ) for keeping down to earth and sound basic principles. That may 1 be the hard way, but it is safe and [ sure.—lndianapolis Star. O—o ' The problems of governmental income and outgo will be serious, at best, after the war. The easy way, of course, to balance the budget would be to print enough currency to make up a deficit. That could be expected to mean ruinius inflation, but it would have vociferous advocates. O—o Fortunately the authority granted was not exercised. But It was an ever-disturbing threat of inflationary tactics so long as in force. The President’s action in repealing the authorization is an important “straw in the wind.” It shows the present administration’s trend to-; ward conservatism and safety. —o A Rotary Club has been organ- ! ized at Berne and will soon be ren- ■ dering service to that community., E.

The big factories are in operation ami sign is given to build for the general trade, they will go after the business with energy. It is expected there will be many early orders but that the business will then drop off until the demand is built up. O—o The tight food situation, sure to last through 1945 and much’of next year due to relief feeding, will keep farm prices up. It will also tend to inflate land values and sustain the inflation already with us. For similar reasons houses and real estate values in many instances have soared to nearly double prewar levels. The end of the war in Europe brings the nation that much closer to a resumption of civilian goods production — and probable lower prices. O—O Sound and Sensible: | President Truman has signed a bill which repeals two provisions of the 1933 Emergency Banking Act that had been hanging over the nation’s credit like a sword of Damocles. He has marked off the books the authority granted to the Treasury to put out $3.000,000,000 of unsecured greenback currency and the right to issue Federal Reserve bank notes which require no gold backing. The banking act provisions were enacted 12 years ago when it was deemed important that extraordinary powers be granted to deal with a crisis. They are, in effect, the embodiment of the dream iff those who believe in fiat currency, in printing press money. o— LIBERATEDDECATUR (Continued From Page One) German hospital in Baden Baden, where he remained six weeks, and then marched for 20 days to Stalag 5, near Augsburg, Germany.

The meeting w-as called to order by the president, Melvin Werling, who asked Enid Ripley, the secretary, to call the roll. As members responded, state membership cards were distributed. Since Jack Beineke went to the navy it was necessary to elect a new treasurer, and Neva Lou Crownover was selected for that position. The safety program of rural youth and their accident reporting was discussed and Bar-

bara Lehman and Wavelene Lehman were chosen to serve as cochairman of this project. A motion was made and carried to continue the state membership of all those Adams county members who enter the armed services. The annual training conference for rural youth that is held at Purdue university in August was discussed and it was decided to match, for the club treasury, the offer of the Adams county farm bureau made for partial payment of the expenses of five delegates to this conference. Wavelene Lehman, Enid Ripley, Melvin Werllng, Barbara Byerly, Leonard Schwartz, Clara Lengerich, Marian Backhaus. Dill Arnold, Jim Striker, Edwin Korte and Barbara Lehman were nominated for this trip. Five of these will be elected delegates at the July meeting. The following committee was appointed to plan for a talent night program for August and to complete the rural youth part of the program for the annual farm bureau picnic: Neva Lou Crownover, Wanda Burkhead, Vera Heimann, Barbara Lehman, and Bill Arnold. The July meeting will be held at Pine Lake on July 12, with this committee in charge of arrangements: Coleen Wagner, Louise Bertsch, Vaughn Myers, Ma x Crownover, and Shirley Sprunger. A very interesting report of the training school for 4-H junior leaders was made by Gloria Riesen and Melvin Werllng, who were delegates to this event. At the close of the business meeting, a group of 61 young men and women enjoyed a treasure hunt. The evening was completed with refreshments. — o M ASONIC Called Meeting. E. A.

j l CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE PHILIP’S CAR was parked at the side entrance. Helen walked around there with him. 1 “Gosh, smell that fragrance!” he ; said, sniffing the air. “Wonderful, isn’t it?” said Helen. “Know what it reminds me of?” “No.” “You and New York. I’ll always think of you, Helen, when I smell gardenias.” Suddenly feeling facetious—or rather feeling as though she wanted to say or do something foolish before Philip grew romantic or sentimental, Helen said: “Pm awfully glad it’s gardenias—and not onions." Philip looked at her. “What brought that on?" he asked. I “It Just slipped out, that’s all." ' “I don’t like it, Helen, It doesn’t sound like you.” “Let’s forget it!* I “That’s all right with me," said , Philip. “Have a nice time with the —other man, today?" I “Very pleasant," said Helen. 1 “Let’s forget that also.” I “That’s also okay by me!” Philip smiled. He got into the car. “Too late for you to take a little ride?” i “Much too late,” Helen said. , Still Philip did not start “Helen, ; darling—don’t keep me waiting too long,” he said. ' “Please let’s not talk about that now, Philip,” she said. ‘Tm tired— I it’s late—” i “Okay!" Philip said, trying to ' sound cheerful. “Only I hope it’s not going to take something as : an earthquake or a i tornado to make you decide which man you love.” He waved his hand. , “So long, see you at the factory!” I Helen watched him drive away. | Then she walked slowly into the ■ house.

She went upstairs to her , room and to bed, wondering—won- ! dering—wondering. ; While up in Washington, Mike Waterman’s house party was in full swing. Besides his house guests—which were five in number—there were some 20 people out from the city, each a big shot in his own or her own way. Two women who were drawing down fabulous salaries as heads of writers’ war board and something or other to do with ' radio. They had never before earned so much money and—as Mrs. Roark expressed it—it had gone to their heads. “Good thing there's something in those well and expensively coiffured heads, though,’’ she added. With them, as escort, was a young lawyer who would have been a very good looking soldier, but who had been deferred as "essential” to the war effort. He’d just had some very unpleasant publicity about cayds sent out to several hundred friends, giving directions to get to his. own house, which

wasn’t far from Mike’s —but the accusations that he had had the cards printed at the expense of the government didn’t appear to be keeping him from enjoying himself. There were also several really worthwhile people, who were sincere and conscientious in the work they were doing, and who were inclined to look with disapproval upon the lawyer and the two women. But everyone was gay. Even when there was criticism of some present, and remarks that had to do with Washington losing the waifor the country, these were voiced without too much malice. The criticism and the remarks were intermingled with outbursts of patriotism, some of which were frankly inspired by too much alcohol. And there was music, color, handsome men in uniform and evening attire, and women looking remarkably lovely. Zoe fairly sparkled. She had bought a new gown only that morning, as soon as she reached Washington. It was of cloth of silver, and it brought out every one of her fetching lines. With it she wore the old Wentworth emeralds. This, she told herself, was the sort of life she was cut out for. She enjoyed every moment of it. It thrilled her—made her feel like someone playing-a part in a Hollywood extravaganza. Mrs. Roark was lovely also in a strikingly dark and exotic sort of fashion. She was in crimson velvet, and a corsage of white orchids blossomed upon her shoulder. "This,” she said to Zoe, "is a party!" "It’s wonderful,* said Zoe. “And so’s Mike’s beautiful, beautiful house.” •It could be your house, too, you know,” Mrs. Roark said. “When are you going to make up yqur mind to ditch Paul and marry Mike ?• "I don’t know," said Zoe. “Besides, Mike hasn't asked me to do so since I came up this time.” “He will,” said Mrs. Roark. Zoe looked at her, a tense expression in her eyes. "What would you do, in my position?" she said. "Beat it for Reno as fast as I could,” was the answer.' Major Carstairs came up just then, “Here’s the minor major, my lovely one,” he said, "come to plead for a dance.” “No pleading necessary, sir!’’ said Mrs. Roark, and went to his arms. "Mike’s doing himself proud, isn’t he ?’’ said themajor. , "A born host,” skid Mrs. Roark. “I must ask him,” Major Carstairs said, “where he got that champagne. It reminded me of Paris. I wonder if it will ever be the same again.” “Os course it will—as soon as we I finish mopping up the Naris and : give the city back to the French.”
