The wise ones will observe the VO period by carefully planning tor the future. O—O The skies wept about the time the peace news came but the rains: didn’t last long and the next morn-1 ing the sun came out smilingly and the cool breezes were refreshing. O—O One of the first things General MacArthur and his aides will try to convince Japanese leaders of is that when they give their word on international matters they are ex-1 pected to keep it. ' "Fill'er up” will be the popular cry at filling stations soon and just tirtnk the regulation* are off on vegetables and canned goods. Now al! you have to do is to find them. Watch this paper for daily announcements from the stores. —O—O—— Mr. Kaiser promises modern houses and Mr. Frazier, his partner, predicts that the new Kaiser automobile will prove popular. AH over the country industry is preparing to resume business on a larger scale than ever was known. —o The minister of war in Japan committed suicide after his nation resigned, giving as cause his failure to accomplish his duties. It is expected that others will follow his example to prove the teaching that theme who fail the emperor must die. —a—o— No- one regrets the fact that the federal employe* were granted a two-day vacation but we sure missed the mail deliveries. It made ns realize how important is that function of she government which brings letters, cards and newspapers to our door daily. O—O Gasoline rationing is over, thank goodness, but those who arc wise wilt continue to observe speed regulation*. Remember the car is old and the tires have done a mighty good job. They still require nursing until such time as the supplies are on hand again. There will be one more loan campaign—A Victory campaign—to be heM in October. This money, fourteen billion dollars, will be used to bring the boys home, to take care of those who need aid and to otherwise help the postwar period. It will be Important and it is hoped it Will prove as successful as hate thp seven war loan drives.

Thia nation will buckle down with the beginnings of next week to work out the problems of the postwar period. Each Individual and each community as well as county, state and nation will have a busy and mighty important task. You gS help pj lining your part as a

I The death of George L. Bobilya, former resident here and at Willshire has brought sorrow to a wide circle of friends. Mr. Bobilya was I ninety years old and for more than 11 1 a century was active in business. 1 1 He was a splendid gentleman of I the old school, whose word was 1 good and who it was always a plea. 1 1 sure to meet. We extend syin--11 pat hies to the relatives. O—O Wartime manpower restrictions [ I have been lifted. Remember how I the political speakers told us time 11 and again that this would never I come and that we would continue Ito be a much controlled nation? I Government head* announce that I business will be given every opporI tunity, that free enterprises will I have the right of way and that I Uncle Sam will not step in until I and unless he has to for the good I of' the people. ■ O — O 7“ Governor Gates has announced that he will call a special session of the legislature to work out reconI version plans. It is expected that

I a building program for state inI stitutions and colleges will be apI proved and other means taken to I guard against ujuemjlloyment in I Indiana. The large cash balance I built up the past decade will aid lin heading off any depression in I this state. The special session will I probably run the forty days perI mitted by' law for there will be I numerous ideas and many proposed | measures to act on. -0-— I Thank God for peace. America surely will never forget that she [escaped the ravages of war. True |we made great sacrifices in men and materials and in money but our losses do not compare with other nations or with what would have come if the enemy had not been stopped thousands of miles from our shores. We should be a grateful people and we should show it by trying harder than ever to follow the teachings of the DidftfteA 1 and the Golden Rule. O—O Life or Death It cost $2,000,000,000 to produce . the first atomic bomb. That is a lot of money. But the American taxpayers who are footing the bill will not begrudge the cost of a great scientific discovery which shortened the war and which may someday prove as constructive as it now is destructive. It cost $4,000,000 for Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., and Charles F. Kettering to establish a research center at the Memorial Cancer Center in New York. And that is a lot of money for two men to give. But they did not begrudge it if it will help to wipe out a disease which, through the years, has killed far more people than the atomic bombs that were dropped in Japan. Without unlimited money and unstinting employment of scientific minds the atom never would have been smashed. And without those two requisites cancer never will be controlled. Fortunately there is a similarity between cancer research and the research which led to the atomic bomb. As Mr. Sloan and Mr. Kettering pointed out, the release of energy which explodes the bomb also inay be utilized in the study of cancer and its treatment. If the money spent on research for destruction can assist in eradicating one of mankind’s most terrible diseases, then American* can indeed feel that two billions have been well spent. But it will be only through more money and more research that the goal finally will be reafcfieft ; —(Huntington Herald-f’ress. - ' - - ■ -./>. ■■■—

chapter forty-two "OH, CLEMANTINK! He’s here, Agatha gasped. She still stared out through the window as though frozen, although their car of the train had rolled to a stop beyond the man waiting on the platform. [ “Here!” . .. ! "Yes, the man who was watching the front of your rooming house!” “What are we going to do?” , “We can’t stay on the train. We’ve got to get off. And here he comes, walking along the p!at-| form!” . - I Both women shrank back m me j seat The man was looking casually at the alighting passengers, but missing none of them. He was of medium height and weight, wore a modest gray-striped business suit a gray hat, and carried a briefcase. He was smooth-shaven, dark of face and large of nose. He would have passed unnoticed as a typical business man—if Agatha had not recognized him. “Let’s go to .the rear car and gfet off the opposite side,” Clemastine suggested.

They started back along the aisle, ; braving the displeased expressions 1 of the other passengers, all of Whom were crowding forward. And at the end of the last car they dis- i covered they could alight only from the station side of the train. “We’ll have to take the chance he doesn’t see us,” advised Clemantine, reconnoitering from the steps. “There’s quite a crowd on the platform now, toward the front of the train. Quick!" She jumped down and stepped around the rear of the train. Agatha foUowed. Standing between the rails, momentarily shielded from sight of their pursuer, they looked around for the best escape. “We’re right in the middle of the railroad yards,’’ observed Agatha with sinking heart. “The place is surrounded by a fence.” Clemantine pointed. “Let's hide between those two lines of box cars and walk back along the track. The trains certainly don’t come in through a gate.” They fled at a quick, stumbling trot over the rough ground, their suitcases bumping their legs, and turned their heads every fewsteps to look behind them > until the freight ears were between them and the station. I The cinders underfoot made dirty walking as they proceeded down the long narrow aisle formed by the two freight trains. Clementine's white shoes were no longer white. Agatha looked fearfully intd the open box cars for hoboes, arid won-

dered what she would say if they encountered a trainman. A locomotive rumbled and hissed past on the far side of one of the standing trains. Cars on another track coupled together in a series of crashes and rattling bumps. “I wonder if our feet can be seen from under the cars?” said Clemantine. Agatha ducked and peered under. A man was walking along the opI posite side ot the train —a man whose legs were encased in graystriped trousers! . She grasped the gfri Dy an arm, J halting her. “Sh!” she warned. ■I Clemantine stared wide-eyed as II Agatha ducked down again. The i legs were walking on. •‘Quick!” whispered Agatha. ’[“Back the way we came! He’s f searching the yards for us!” j | The two women started to run, 1 the sounds of their footsteps covt lered by another passing locomoithre. Luckily their suitcases were t flight, but tse mere awkwardness -of them was maddening.

Ofte Os the two freight trains 11 came to Hfe with heavy jerks that progressed swiftly along its length. It started rolling slowly. “Hurry!” urged Agatha. “We’re going to be uncovered!" She hadn’t realized how far they had come from the station. Now they had to get back to it—out through its exit. The freight train was pulling lout of the yards, in the direction opposite to that in which they were running. It was squealing and grinding, faster and faster. It made Agatha dizzy, gave her the feeling she was running at high speed. The end of the train cleared past them. Unshielded from view, they still were a hundred feet from the [end of the passenger train platform, across three tracks. Agatha looked wildly over her shoulder as she stumbled across the rails. The man in the graystriped suit saw them! He started to ran in pursuit.

W 11U* *** They were in the station now. There was no crowd to impede their 1 ,Way. The man at the gate grinned ] as he stepped aside. He thought j they were running to catch the : streetcar standing outside. i ' He 'wks right They scrambled aboard the car. just as the conductor clanged the bell. The man lw the gray-striped suit ran dht of the station—too late. “Weill” gasped Clemantine she dropped, nearly breathless, into a seat ’’We—we ought to try out for the—the track team!” Agatha couldjft speak.

She hoped they would lose their pursuer in the city crowds, but after the streetcar had jolted along for three blocks her anxious eyes saw a familiar automobile creeping up from the rear. The man in the gray-striped suit was driving. She nudged Clemantine and whispered fearfully, “He’s going to follow alongside and catch us when we try to get off!” "Maybe we’ll find a street cornet where there’s a policeman ..." Policemen were lacking. Traffic lights did police duty. There was 1 only one policeman in the next ten minutes, and he was in the middle ’ of the block, walking the wrong 5 [way. “The traffic is thick —he can’t get ' out of his car to chase us,” Cle- ’ mantine observed. “Let’s get off at ‘the next comer. It’s a main cross * street Unless there’s a parking place where he can stop right away ’ we’ll have a chance to lose Mm g among the shoppers."

“We certainly won’t lose him staying here!” About haff the passengers rose for the next stop. Clemantine and ■Agatha crowded forward to descend the steps beside the motorThe man in the gray-striped suit was forced by the automobile in front of him to remain at the Fear steps ot the streetcar. The alighting passengers were agonizingly slow. Agatha feared that the lights which had stopped . the automobiles might change, ot I that their pursuer would abandon . his machine in the street and meet j them on the crosswalk, afoot “There’s a parking place f’ cried t Clemantine in dismay. r They reached the sidewalk jUt > as the traffic lights changed. . “Quick! Into this Mg store*” Agatha urged. “Maybe we can lobe - him.”

nun. “Better hide in a comer close te the door;” Clemantine suggested. ‘‘When he comes in we can duck out again.” They waited. Agatha began to hope they had given him the slip. No such luck! He entered from the street with a group of shoppers looking as innocent as any of them. The fugitives had forgotten,the mirrors on the store pifiais, until Agatha suddenly found herself staring directly into the man’s eyes! As she trembled in terror, he approached, smiled and raised his hat “I think you ladies had better return with me. You should know better than’ try to play hide and seek with the «*Bf!" .
