Anderson, the nee secretary of agriculture, hi firm it his conviction that the people ol it ■ . .'■■■■■ ■ first on food supply and not be re i quired to take what’e left “in the ip *-'d /othftr cc ' have gotten all they want. We should have suJ.cient food to meet, necessary demands, not luxurious quantities, but enough for all. Then what is over should of course go to aid those countries where food is so badly needed. However, as the secretary warns, we should r. t expect miracles tor even w;-h his plan, it will take careful management to secure fair distribution. O—O Japanese war lords are broadr3,>t’.njr that ths?y art pianuiD-y a - surprise to stop the invasion by the allies, but it sounds like hot air. A- least, it's net stopping ths American forces on sea. land or in the air. The general opinion of • mii.t -. -y experts is that the attitude of the Mikado is a great bluff to keep his people keyed up until fact .way. The navy forces have done everyit whaievt defense the Japs 7 ; | :.s apparency nil and the pocr sob “ are order --1 to fight until they 'die withoir support of air or navy help. Surely they will soon discover the foolishness of such strategy :: it can be called that. O—O J B. Kohlmeyer of Purdue Uni- . n y fa says that 2,750 prisoners of war will be available for agricultural work on Indiana farms this fall. These workers will 1 used so: harvesting canning crops and for other emergency farm work. Prisoner of war camps , are being requested in six place in the state, where seasonal help is needed. A total of ,aO workers will be requested for the camp in Fort Wayne, and 700 at Windfall. I Other prisoners of war will be requested for the following areas: ■i ■ 100; Camp At bury Morristown. 20*'. and Vincennes 200. These workers will augment the available supply of local migrant and foreign workers needed to harvest the 1945 crop. O—O Dirt Roads: Oldsters familiar with country roads of 30 years ago will recall how mid—uinmer by the roadside became the season of dust, says the Van Wert Times-Bulletin. The village which had achieved a strip of pavement was known far and wide. The good housewife in the • <mntry or on the edge of town shut the parlor windows to keep out the dust The front hedge took on a tawny coat.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE “HORP.ORS!” exclaimed Agatha, pretending she was seeing the radio : tube for the first time. “We've got to get that back where it belongs!” •Til never trust anyone again! To think it was the blind boy who had it . . Agatha felt a twinge of con-1 ocier.ce. She had to defend him. “Don't be too quick to accuse Willard of a part in the plot,” she advised. “I believe he's honest.” “I don’t! How did he happen to be so handy when you needed rescuing? He wasn't around that building in the middle of the night for any good purpose. And he didn’t come by this honestly, or he wouldn't get rid of it in such a sneaky way." She picked up the tube gingerly and turned it in her hands. “Don’t drop it!” Agatha trembled •t the possibility. “It doesn’t look very delicate. Vock at all the metal gadgets on it —end in it,” •Put it down!” Clemastine took the advice. Beth women stared at it. Agatha couldn't help thinking there was •omething very professional looking about it—not at ail the kind of job one would expect Otto to have turned out in his laboratory. StflJ, he was very' clever with his hands. “It’s about a foot long,” observed Clemantine, “but somehow that doesn’t seem large enough to control an aerial torpedo.” “Maybe it’s a miniature of the final model. Or perhaps it fits inside the torpedo.” “I'm sure we won’t get anywhere by arguing about it. What are we going to do with it?” “We’ve got to get rid of it. If It’s found here the police will be more certain than ever that you had some connection with Otto's— I mean, with Professor Halder’s death.” Clemantine shuddered. “If the ■pies get to us before the police do, we may be murdered ourselves.” “We’ll have to try to return it to where it belongs, without anyone knowing, we’ve had it But, no-o. That won’t do. It wouldn’t be any •afer in Otto’s laboratory than it was in his room. We must place it in the hands of federal officers. Theyll know what to do.” “How can we, without revealing ourselves? Would they believe us if we told them Willard left it

here? He'd probably deny it. i “We can't involve Willard,” Agatha told her. “He just saved my life' He may not have come by this honestly, but at least he wasn't going to turn it over to any of the foreign spies.” “How can we be sure there aren't foreign agents among the police? How can we be sure—of anything?” Agatha remembered what her kidnaper had told her—that he was a man of many disguises. She suddenly was fearful herself. “I suppose Dr. Hill is safe enough. If we could get it to him . . Agatha gazed down at the glass and metal instrument, supposedly so full of world-upsetting power. “Well have to hide it again—l mean, hide it until we can deliver it in person to Dr. Hills office—without his seeing us.” “How can we?" “I don t know. It will be difficult. Perhaps Willard had a similar idea.” She was improvising rapidly. A solution had come to her! “He must have obtained the tube by accident, and like us was afraid of questions. Being btrnd he knew he was more than usual in danger of being caught if he tried to take it to Dr. Kill “Those are just wild suppositioM.” “Well, that'3 the best 1 can think of now." “Where win we hide it?" ’ How about the closet in your room?” “That’s the first place anyone would look for it” “The bed, then? We might art. a hole in the mattress.” “Suppose someone sat on the bed and broke it? No, I think I've got a better idea. I bought a new hat last week. It has one of those funny high peaks. I believe I could abp it up in there by taking out some of the lining. And that would be away to carry it right into Dr. Hill's office.” “Good! Let's hide it now. It makes me nervous just to see it lying there.” , Clementine picked up the tube again, carefully holding it with both hands. Agatha snapped off the light and they started up the stairs “I can’t imagine what’s the matter with that fat girl,” Clem antin? whispered. “Most anything wakes her. She ought to be out in the hall asking us questions.” . 'Tm very glad she Isn’t!” Once safely back inside her room

be determined in Moscow." "We alone have such a separation of the powers of government that ours is the only delegate on the security council who might commit hie country to war without the consent of the legislative arm,” Hoover said. "Hie* authority should be defined so that ‘he delegate is in some way resporajibie to congress before our country is committed to war.” Hoover declared that the charter alone cannot insure lasting peace, the foundations for which “must also be laid in the economic and political settlements among nation* by which this war is -o he liquidated." Russia. Britain and the United States are primarily responsible for those ; ettlements, he said. “In any event.” he predicted, “for

She didn't feel at a£ teary when Clemantine began tire ~;EiLbtion. Wouldn't the younger g»nnsa»tion ever get sense into tier ieaiis. or would they always have ts advertise their insanity with i—erttions like this? Clemantine cut a hole in the hting. pulled out something that r&c held the peak of the hat nt portturn, and inserted the radio te.be- ». its place. "There! I tizmgilt it would fit!” “Not even Willard, with his sixth sense, could find it in a place like that” Clemantine frowned. “I ear.'t understand—how could he have possibly carried that tube into the house tonight without our seeing it?” ‘T—Pm sure I don’t know,” admitted Agatha. “Perhaps he just held it behind him. He tried to distract car attention by making out he was ta danger. He might even have earned it under his coat without making much of a bulge. It’s rather re*tier.” "What difference does it mates how it arrived on the chair in yocr living room? The important thing is, can we get it into Mr Hills office without anyone suspecting—and then slip it out when no one ie around to see us?” Clemantine adjusted the feat on her head. "What do you think ?" "Yes. I think It will do. There’s a little bulge in the front, but it might be part of the hat demgn. I’ve never seen anything to match it. I. . She stiffened suddenly. "Listen!” “What?" Agatha's throat was choking trp on her. She whispered, “The front door is opening!” Faintly there came up the rta_.ro the eiick of the iateh as the <kwr was stealthily reHosed. The stairs creaked under ascending feet. "Yew revolver!" Oemaatirie gasped. "Where is it?” "I left it downrtain!" "We re trapped ... and this » not the police!" A voice with a foreign accent announced through the opening bedroom door, "You are right. This is not the police. And do not scream! You are coming with us, quietly!” (to Be Continued)
