The mortgage burning at the Elks home Thursday evening will be a happy and enjoyable affair. It’s the Charter Member banquet. —o Come on boys, lets go. The war is over, autumn is here, schools will reopen Tuesday, it’s time to get busy. Advertise and go after thp business of this trading radius. It’S worth trying. U_U The Stars and Stripes now fly over Japan. Perhaps they don't like it very well but if they treat it decently they will find it the eihblem of the world's greatest country. —o Shorter hours may be necessary some day but we wonder if they are now. With all the great industries planning to go forward more rapidly than ever, it looks as though there will be plenty of work for every one for a long time. —o Ball players and other sport camps who figured in the headlines a few years ago are coming bstek. Each day we hear of some stir being released and resuming h$ old place with his team or manager and it cure sounds good.

—o or not you lived here a 4P quarter century or more ago, you wjl enjoy reading French Quinn’s bsok that tells many stories of eijjily Adams county life in an interesting way. Get one, read it and lay it way for the youngsters. o—o fWe will appreciate it if advertisers will get their copy in as early as, possible. We want to accomodate every customer but frequentlyj.it is impossible unless we have this cooperation of the merchants arid others who desire space. Please cooperate. —o

’’rhe' merchant who advertises makes more money than the one who thinks he is saving money by not spending any thing for that purpose. With increased voluinn and with selling goods quickly, many dollars are saved. It lakes less overhead and every body likes | it. —o Hess. Goering and Ribbentrop, Franze von Papen and Krupp are the headliners for the trial of war criminals to start in a month. The roll call includes twenty others of more or less reputation as leaders of the world’s greatest effort to dominate the world by force. The public awaits their evidence. —o One of the most remarkable stories from Japan is that of the reed States Steamer Houston. The men were found in Thailand after five survivore escaped from camp and stumb-ed their way to a guerilla camp in Thai. They will have atones to fill many volumus of books, tales stranger than fiction.

We believe that Secretary Hull. General Marshall and Mr. Roosevelt did their bast to avoid wa-. to serve their country and when they knew it was inevitable to avoid a clash with Japan and Germany, tried their best to postpone the crisis until such time when this nation was bettor prepared. Criticism of them is without foundation. It they erred it was human and certainly their good deeds far outnumbered their mistakes, if they made any. —o Years ago John B. Holthouse was one of Decatur's most successful business men. He told us once that he made it a practice to always have $5,000 worth of government bonds put away. Then when he needed money quickly for an investment he knew just where to bet it and it provided many opportunities The same thing is true right now. Add to your collection and hang on to them until the time comes when you can use them to best advantage. —o

New cars and tires are going to be scarce for many months, according to manufacturers and federal officials, who say the number to be turned out this year wil! be far from sufficient to meet Lie demands. The allotment for tires for September are the same as in August in Indiana, it lias been an nounced. Better nurse the old jalopy and her pneumatic along by driving carefully. As one concern broadcasts — if you are careless you may be earless. , —o Miss Margaret Moran has resigned as a teacher in the Decatur puolic schools after thirty five years of excellent continuous service. She began her teaching career in the rural schools of the county twelve yeans, before coming to Decatur, giving her a record of fortyseven years as an instructor. Het yeas were devoted to the primaly grades nd she ranked high in hei profession. Miss Moran has earned a rest and we hope for her many happy years, a wish in which hundreds of her former students concur.

O—o The communities that get active on the rod business will have an advantage over those that go to sleep. The state highway commission, supported by the federal government, plan extensive road building the next few years. There are several things that could be done along this line that would help Adams county and the chamber of commerce and other service organizations will be glad to sponsor the improvements. It depends on the interest awakened in the county and the effort made. If and when your cooperation is requested, please comply. Good roads .will mean much in the future. —o

This makes it unanimous—West-! brook Pegler, long time foe of the Roosevelt administration — says “Truman is making a good president.” It’s the general census of opinio. He is no showman and he is human, liable to make mistakes, but sincere and honest and is using all of his Missouri common sense in a manner that pleases the people of America and is accepted 11 over the world. He makes decisions promptly, tells the people about it and keeps going in a manner that bides bood during* these momentous day|i. Even a these momentous days. Even a I critic like Pegler must admit it. dayrCOURT HOUSE Werling Estate Real estate valued at $12,000 and personal property of $5,000 are listed in the state papers of John C.

ft : 1 to HapplasM comes as . a l T;lp. o ' dud of Christian service. Theie are two classes of people among whom Christian service is great y needed. First, there are those who ignore God and make no place,in their lives tor Christ and his teachings, which must eventually bring them to eternal regret. The service needed here is for some one to point out the Christian way of life so impressively that Christ is accepted as Lord and Saviour. Then there is the class that once started the Christian life but have given it up or are discouraged-they nged a spiritual urge to continue the right way of life.

— ; Special Services And Meetings Os Churches In Area • 1 Youth For Christ Participating in the county-wide Youth for Christ rally which will be held Friday, September 7, at 8 p. m. at the First Mennonite church at Berne will be Bob Milner, director of the youth church of the air, Cleveland, 0., and also director of music at the Hough Avenue Baptist church of the city. Gil Dodds, who broke Glen Cunningham's all-time record for the indoor mile and who has been voted “America’s No. 1 Athlete” by the A. A. U„ will give the message. The service is open to the public and it is expected that a rec-ord-breaking crowd will attend. To lump a whole race or nation in an inclusive prejudice and hatred is as ignorant as it is unchristian.

BYNOPSIS TERRY ARNOLD, a young Vermont newspaperwoman, has written a fairly successful novel. To gather material for a second book she has gone »o the Argentine, her subject matter to be the wealthy playboy set of that Latin-American country. • • • PESTERDAY: Finding herself involuntarily installed In Buenos Aires most luxurious hotel because thfee Argentine newsmen mistake her for a Liss Ainsworth, a Boston heiress, Terry decides recklessly to wager her remaining few dollars on Ultimo Venture a little-known race horse.

CHAPTER FOUR 1 IT WAS past 10 when Terry i woke the next morning. Bright sun- ’ Bhine wan pouring In through the ■ open windows and spilling down on the heavy gray carpet. She lay gaz- , ing at the canopy over her bed, at the enormous, frilled dressing table. It hadn’t been a dream then. She was still in Buenos Aires, living for one dazzling day off her plane ticket. She stretched and lay quietly, her eyes half open listening to the cars streaming along the boulevard, the drone of an airplane circling overhead. The faint chirp of birds came from the hotel gardens that spread below her window. I shall remember this day all my life, she promised herself. And when I lose my shirt on the race today— That reminded her of her dinner last night with De Vera. He had been charming, poor man, though now he was more than ever sure she was Miss Ainsworth of Boston. He had looked into the history of the horse Ultimo Ventura. And it had convinced him that she had a real inside tip! The horse was young—this was its first race of importance, but it had an exceedingly good record and was from the Kimberly estancia, one of the largest and best run in Argentina. Furthermore, he had discovered the Kimberlys and their close circle of friends were laying quiet, but enormous, bets on the horse. He had pointed out Brooks Kimberly when he came into the dining room with his fiancee, Corinne Artigas, and his friend, Raff Cordoba. Handsome young aristocrats they were—the flesh and blood people Terry had been unable to create in the pages of her book. It was then she knew she would bet on Ultimo Ventura—win. lose’ or draw. Terry rose after a while, showered and dressed. She chose her best sports suit, the color pf the sea in the early morning light. She brushed her hair high on her head and crowned it with a white gardenia. Deftly putting on a last touch of lipstick, she gathered up

her white handbag and departed. In the garden restaurant t were ' white, wrought iron tables with 1 glass tops that sparkled in the sun- i light. Terry chose a table close to a marble fountain and ate her , breakfast slowly, enjoying every mouthful. Delicious melon balls, iced cold, a lamb chop grilled to a deep amber, French rolls, hot from the oven, and a silver pot of coffee. ' The taxi spun along the wide boulevard, past tall houses set deeply in velvet lawns. Neatly clipped hedges, and myriads of flowers nodded in the sun. The cars were pouring toward Palermo Park in an unbroken line. Terry felt a warm glow of satisfaction. Just to be a part of this gay scene seemed to be enough. All Argentina loved race day, and this was the greatest day of all. Most of the shops along Avenido de Mayo would be closing their doors. Soon newsboys carrying loads bigger than themselves of La Prensa, El Mundo and La Nacion would be invading the streets with the latest news of the race. “Your change, Senorita," he called after her. “Bet it on the race!’’ Terry flung back over her shoulder. It was a happy, laughing crowd that Terry shouldered her way through toward the betting windows. Finally she was facing the man behind the grill work. She shoved a roll of bills at him and heard her own unreal sounding . voice say, “Put it on Ultimo Ventura to win!” A small boy dressed in the gay ' costume of the gaucho took her ' ticket stub as she approached the grandstand. He led her through the crowd, up a flight of steps, and 1 finally to a box well out in front. He pointed to one of the four chairs. “That is your seat.” ; Terry’s excitement rose as she | ‘ saw the long sweep of track and' the impatient horses, with their jockeys walking them up and down • a paddock inside the track. People ! were flowing in now in a colorful ■ stream, rapidly filling the grand- • stand. An elderly couple and their i young daughter moved in Terry’s J box. i More horses were led from the i whitewashed stables. She saw a > jockey in a pale blue blouse with No. 7 on his back. That must be ■ Ultimo Ventura he was leading! A r beautiful horse with a coat the i color of fresh cut cherry wood gllss tening in the sunlight. Well, you’rg. i handsome, anyway, Terry .muttered - silently, clenching her fists..liet member, Beiutiful, I’m bettjJH On 7 you—and I mean beging 1
