General DeGaulle of France is looking America Over. He will hold numerous conferences in Washington and then take a "squint" at the greatest nation in the world. -0 -Keep working and buying bonds for yotif owfl good and fop the best interests ot the entire country, fetter days are just ahead if We finish our job and we appear to be doing it. —o ■ Van Wert has a water shortage caused by the breaking down of one of their three wells. Lawn sprinkling and other unnecessary uses of water has been discontinued. It’s one of the meet serious problems for many communities. With Keller, Feller, DiMaggio and other stars of the old days hack in uniforms, the great nat'onal game is booming as thousands flock to the parks to watch tfielr favorites perform. Next season ought to be good. —o Less than fifty people in Decatur are out of employment as a reBjjrtt of reconversion and several industrial plants are still begging for ' workers. The outlook is good and and there ie every indication that the community will continue to go forward. —o Substantial reductions in meat points are promised for next month, making it easier for those who wish to varry menus. Uncle Sam is helping the people to get back to normal living and in a few months rationing will be only a memory. "Federal employes will go to forty hours by September 15th, it is predicted. It will effect almost all of the three milliorn in the government service and according to those who have investigated the subject, will save the nation two billion a year. —o— Japan has only fifty-five warships left out of 382 when they started out to run things their own way. No natiort was ever beaten so badly on the seas and Japan without a navy and Without merchant shipping is lost. They will pay dearly for a long time for their, foolishness. *—-O n toGeneral MacArthur is scheduled to arrive in Japan next Tuesday. He will be interested in looking the country over and the Nipe will ptobnbly be anxious to get a glimpse ot him. He will demand and secure order and will organlag the nation as qdlckly as is ifomanly possible. He will be born. —o—o—- — hose, radios, washing maclrines, automobiles, refrigerators and many other items will be on the Christmac lists this year. Os supply will not be suf-

woh’t be long until every one can get every thing they want if they have the money and meet people have. —o The public will agree with Senit ator Byrd that “every possible dollar appropriated for war, yet unt expended, revert to the treasurer r. of the United States.” The sonant tor points out that it has been fifteen yearg since the federal budget was in balance and that its time j we got under the red line to preserve solvency. s o—o J One of the casualties of peace > will be black marketeer. As goods 5 returns in volume, he will find his I customers backing away and look- > ing elsewhere for his needs.. Tho se who disregarded war and declined J to cooperate with the government during the dark days will now be regarded distrustingly by the buying public. —o The Decatur city council will employ an engineer to prepare plans for interceptor sewer, a sewage disposal plant and storm sewers. It is a much needed improvement and the city has been mandated to start such a project. With the war over it is expected that the plans will develop rapidly and that the actual work may be done Hext year. o—o — Lend-Lease is over. It has achieved its purpose and during the four years it existed poured out forty billion dollars worth of armaments and civilian goods, necessary in the war effort, President Truman cancelled all outstanding’ contracts just a, week after V-J day. We are settling down rapidly and entering a new era that will be much more pleas- ’ ant. 1 o—o 1 State police will keep a strict ( wat<;lL. fQt motorists who violate , traffic regulations. Major Walter 1 Eckret, state police executive officer, says enforcement will be directed against such infractions i as parsing on a hill or curve, tin- * reasonable speed or speeding in a ' posted zone, weaving in and out of s traffic, failure to signal or observe > traffic signals. The police official , also stated that vehicles with de- { fective lighting equipment or faul- < ty brakes is cause for arrest of the operator. i *—o—o—— | Indiana extends the hand of welcome to Frederick L. Hovde, newly named president of Purdue University. Dr Hovde, though but 37 ( years old has become one of the ; outstanding educators ot America. ( Back in 1928 he was the all-confer-ence football etar on the Minnesota University team. He served as president of the University of Rochester trom 1936 until he joined the national defense council in Washington. He succeeds Dr. Edward C. Elliott who for many years has led the school to educational heights. —o While actual fighting seems to be abbul over, there are many things to be done if we wish to avert a third world conflict. That may seem far off and impossible but so did world war two appear only a pessimistic prediction, twenty-seven years ago. There are still leaders in many countries who consider the recent defeats on’s temporary set-backs to their cause. ( To prevent that and to provide enduring peace should be the goal for good men every where. o The sturdy Army Ordnance 15mm. howitzer, nicknamed the I “Grizzly Bear” and weighing well over six tons, has a range of more than eight miles and a prolonged firing rate of one round a minute. It shoots a projectile weighing 93 pounds and in used to destroy fortified installations and to knock out enemy gun positions. The State of California has 103 so-called colleges or universities. Out of this number, 60 of them are junior colleges - Chicago has 6,088 policemen and 2M3 tiramen.

There will be plenty made from rubber, steel and wood, and this means electric trains, metal construction sets and metal wagons. Lawn mowers — there will be enough to meet next spring's demands. Men’s suits —at best there will be an “uncomfortably short supply” throughout the winter because the army took virtually all the worsteds that were available last spring and summer, the seasons when fall and winter clothing are produced. Men discharged from the army will add to the demand. Men’s shirts, undershirts and shorts —the situation will be the same as for men’s suits. Women’s dresses—they wtll start to appear during the early fall, but won’t be in general supply before next spring. WPB is attempting

Let’s forget about that old tube.” j “It was important, however,” he said, “I was accused of leaving it at your house. I didn’t —but that accusation gave me a clue to who really had that tube, which I knew had been in Professor Halder’s' room the evening he was murocL** "EvertUig?”saidcaeffißtfittaa. “He Was killed at midnight.” “Perhaps he Was stabbed at midnight,” explained Willard, “but the nturderer’s wotk wds done hours IfoforO.” Agatha thought, “He does know* He khowß I had time to get here from Bfaxton by automobile, and back, while I was supposed to he waiting there for the train conftecClerhantine went on, “You mean, there actually wasn’t any murderer there it midnight?" “Nd.

Shoes — inventories are now at their lowest poiht in history and they probably won't be rebuilt to riiee* all demands until the end of the year. Officals still hope to get shoes off rationing by Christmas or before. Automobiles — won’t-be enough to meet demand until soime time next year. Indications are that between 400,000 and 500,000 will be turned out during the rest of this year.

Clemantine sat on the edge of the bed and leaned for- I ■ w£rd, waiting for the fateful i words. ' "I’ll begin at the first,” Willard i said. “Because guards had been 1 placed around Professor Halder, it was evident that the government ' feared an attempt would be made Ito steal his invention. The idea of 1 murder did not enter into It They I were not watching for that i "Perhaps 1 was foolish, but I | wanted to prove that I WMs any--1 one’s equal when it dame to sleuthI ing. I knew about the trap door into J the laboratory from the basement, t dldrt't trust Professor Haider, i I was afraid he might have sold out to one of the spies, and WSs going I to deliver the tube secretly through the trap door to someone who would take it away through the I sewer line. The professor could [claim it was stolen, like his invention was in World War I. Thdre I was a suspicious parallel.” • “Oh-h!” breathed Agatha. Then ; she added hurriedly, "But you are ; | wrong! Otto would never do a thing i like that!” ’ I “The theory at least gave me an II excuse for what I did. I sneaked ■ I into the cellar when it was unocIcupied, crept through the trap door > I into the laboratory, got the radio I tube, carried it back, pushed it I through the ventilator and buried ■ it in the soft earth of the garden 11 outside. Later, when the excitement died down, I dug it up and ! | gave it to the frBL Were they Sur- ■ prised!”

“I cast imagine!" exclaimed Clemantine. “that’s why the FBI man was so sure aUntie and I weren’t mixed up with it” “Yes. It also explains why I was released quickly from that burglary charge. But Hans thought you had the tube, or knew where it was,’’ Willard ccfntinued. “He probably searched yeur room and luggage ..." "Out luggage!” gasped the girl. “That was why he stayed behind when we bought our tickets at the railroad Station. He was going through ott feagt!" “t’robably so,” agreed Willard. “If he did, that must have ended his suspicion against you.” "And a shbrt tirtd later," continued Clemantine. “I telephoned him and told him *tabel Harrington Was the spy.
