Get them ready so the work will not be delayed. O—O Two .thousand planes are pounding Japan day and night to remind them of the sad mistake they mad" when they attacked our forces at Pearl Harbor. O—o Don't get excited about the short age of soaps. This will soon be taken care of and the authorities say there is no intention of rationing this important commodity. —o-o— If yon plan going anywhere by air or Bus, better get started. The transportation division of the government is seriously considering S further cuts to all forms of travel. O—O The first question put by an English speaking Jap officer to members of an American boarding party inspecting a Japanese hospital ship was: “Is Babe Ruth still alive?” o—o A little more beef, veal and lamb meat, beginning July 29th, » the good news from the QPA. You may be' sure that as soon as possible they will permit all kinds of food and plenty of it. 1 O—O As soon as the corn gets a good etart we favor a little relief in the weather.

The almost unanimous approval of the World Charter by the Senate is the best sign this country can have. What we do will influence the world largely and it may be that the children of today will t not have to go to war in two or three decades. t 0-0 ■. Marshal Petain, who for many t yearn was the idol of France, is now on trial for treason. He In- , sists that what hr did was whit 1 j he thought was best for France and that he helped the allies. He is 5 eighty-nine years old and his lite r story will be as interesting as any > novel ever written. ’ o—o I A survey in New York during the 1 recent strike when newspapeis could not be distributed, shows ■ that ninety percent of the people sorely missed reading the news. Less than ten percent felt tliey-j were getting sufficient information from the radios to satisfy them and keej) them posted on what was going on in the world. O—O President Truman is urging early adjournment of the Big Three meeting and will soon return to Washington, according to rumors. However, some of those called for the meeting have already left for an unannounced destination that the reporters say will surprise the world. Maybe that's just to keep us guessing. O—O Corporal Richard Linn, who landed recently in New York and will return home for a furlough, will wear the Distinguished Service Cross and the Croix de Guerre as a result of his excellent record. Under fire for hours, seriously wounded, Cpl. Dick continued to rescue comrades from the battle line in Germany. He is another war hero and is being so acclaimed. O—O The Reppert Auction school will open its 49th semi-annual session here July 30th and again many men from all over this country and Canada will come here to secure intensive training as salesmen. It's a great business to learn, as has been demonstrated time and again. We have known many of the students here who have become well known in the auctioneering field. Decatur will extend a hearty welcome to the boys. O—O Henry Morgenthau says now that he did not quit his job as secretary of the treasury of his own choosing. He would, he says, have preferred staying on until V J day. Just what happened has caused many of the columnists to guess but anyway he is out. He admits | he offered his resignation and that the president promptly accepted it, so that’s it. The public little cares about the details. Mr. Vinson will carry on. -0 The “big wigs” of the Hoosier G.O.P. organization want William Jenner to be the Republican candidate for United States senator next year. The present holder of that job, Senator Willis, doesn't agree with them and is saying so. The weekly newspapers who put Willis over five years ago may go to bat for him again, it is reported from the underground and it is ex pected the hidden campaign mayget out in the open by autumn when the Republican Editorial Association meets. O—o Japan is not only losing everything she gobbled up after Pearl Harbor, but also many islands and possessions controlled for years. She won’t have much left of her homeland and nothing outside and the longer they continue the worse off they will be. Australians have sent more troops to Borneo and that rich'oil territory will’’■Boon be in their hands and Admiral Nimitz's daily reports show how completely the Jap navy and air force are being destroyed. It ought to end in a few months.

Is it possible to determine whether a woman is well-bred by observing her when shopping in a department store? A. Yes, and it is one of the best ways to judge a woman's manners. Anyone who makes a sales person show dozens of articles for inspection. or insists that the store deliver a very rsmall article that could easily be carried, shows ill-breed-

ing. Q. Are the words to be used in acknowledging an invitation of great importance? A. The words should be chosen carefully, but the sincerity and cordiality are of more importance than the words. Q. Where should the hostess meet her guest® when giving a luncheon in her home? A. The guests should be ushered into the livingroom where the hostess meets them. 0 I Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE Preserves It will be easier to turn the lid of the jar of preserves that has been sealed for quite awhile if a

warm iron i® placed on the lid for a few minutes before opening the jar. Porch Cushion If the' cushion of the porch swing is covered with attractive oilcloth, it will protect it from the rain, and any soil can be easily wiped off. Sticky Starch If the starch sticks to the iron saturate a cloth with water and rub soap on it. Rub the iron over this several times and starch will rub off very readily. o It takes courage to be talked about and yet remain silent when a word would justify you in the eyes of others, but which you canont speak without injury to. another. 0 — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
