Wise folk will not spend all their income for gas and traveling expenses. Put away a few more bonds to assure a happier future. —o A few good showers would still help. While It may be late for the corn, it certainly would improve pasture and some of the late crops. The drouth has been on here now five or six weeks with only a little rain and that not general. u—u We approach another week end and the Safety Council is hoping that the utmost care will be used by motorists. Since gas rationing has been called off, the increase in the number of accidents on the highways has been terrific. O—O The main idea of the demands for an airing of Pearl Harbor seems to be to discredit the Roosevelt administration. If further disclosures are necessary for the future good of America, lets have them but so far the requests appear to be purely political. —o 1 The Yellow Jackets will open the 1945 football season here this evening, meeting thtfir old rivals, the Bluffton Tigers. The fans will be out in force to look the athletes

over and to support the home team. The pigskin sport will be popular the next three moths. O—O With a hundred thousand workers idle as strikes sweep the nation. we seem to be entering one of the serious postwar eras. Government leaders and others are making every effort to prevent a slow-down situation but so far seem not to have succeeded too well. —o William Bowers has been named chairman of the Calithumpian parade to be held here Hallow’een. The occasion is being sponsored i , by the Decatur chamber of commerce and as in the old days will' provide amusement for thousands who will gather to watch the “spooks” and witches. Plan to attend and take part. o—o The banks of America are safe. Not a eingle penny has been lost by any depositor in any insured bank and not a single institution in that class has failed in the past fifteen months. Your funds are safe in the banks under the new laws, the beet insurance against any serious depressions In good times or bad. —o You can travel by air after October 15th if you wish without having a priority 'and in another week you will have little trouble getting passage by plane. The government will hold 'priorities for only 15,000 from Jeptember 15th to October 15th as compared to 100,000 held the pa«t year. After

October Ist. plane travel will open to the public. The war is over. —o According to the USES officials there are still demands for more men to fill demands of industrial plants than there are releases from those that are reconverting from war goods to peace time production. The Indianapolis office reports that "many come to look but few remain to buy the offers on the civilian job market." That one office now has some 8,000 jobs going begging. —o Paul V. McNutt, former governor of Indiana, has resigned as social security administrator and has been nominated as United States high commissioner to the Philippines. Mr. McNutt served in that capacity some years ago and recently was a member of a commission sent to the islands to survey the situation and recomend re-

habilitation needs. He will he sueceded in the the security position by his deputy, Watson B. Miller. His appointment is subject to approval by the senate. —o Boosters for a county fair here are calling attention to the popularity of the events of this kind now being held. At Van Wert this week all records for attendance have been broken and hundreds from this locality have been among the visitors, ft would require some effort and some investment but those who still favor the oldfashioned fairs, believe it. would be successful and have numerous arguments with which to back up their reasoning. Now is the time to get busy. O—O Congress is in session again—first peace time meeting in several years and the politicians rarin’ to go. It should be interesting and we believe sound judgment will prevail. If the leaders are in earnest and the members generally remember that the next year of reconversion is as important as those of the war period, speedy and wise action should result. The eyes of 140,000,000 people will be upon

the law makers. Taxes, full em- € ployment, disposal of war material i surpluses and the continuance of government agencies necessary to prevent inflation will be among 1 the chief subjects to be consider- , ed. -0 A Fair Deal: Someone has suggested that with the liberation of Malay the entire stock of rubber available be shipped to the United States as reverse Lend-Lease from Britain and the Netherlands. Tire idea is a sound one. At the end of the war we find practically no natural rubber in this country and the tire industries unable to produce immediately sutticient synthetic tires needed for our 25 riiillion automobiles still in operation. There will be, however, an ever present need for natural rubber regardless of the . uses to which synthetics Are put. Since this country is' by far the greatest rubber consumer in the world, and since rubber is not produced in this clitnate the Malayan rubber plantations will play a part in our international trade for years to come. Few persons of intelligence in England or in Holland will deny that the lion's share of winning the Pacific war fell to the United States. It was our victories, either directly or indirectly, which made it possible to return our Allies’ holdings to them. It does not seem too crass for thte nation to expect some material return for huge amonts of Lend-Lease goods. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. 0 Harvesting Spinach ..

No. Any such criticism should be given privately. Q. Is it correct to say, “Mr. Brown and hie wife are coming’? A. The correct form is “Mr. and Mrs. Brown are coining’’.

BLUE CROSS PLAN IS (Continued From Page One) ing his Blue Cross membership card. The plan, which is prepaid hospitalization, the speaker explained,

not only pays all hospital services in full but also many professional services. The Adams county memorial hospital is one of the more than 300 Indiana hospitals participating. Henry Bromer, manager of the Decatur Casting Co., whose employes are enrolled in the Blue Cross plan, was chairman of the program. POLITICAL MUD TO (Continued From Page One) that congress was in an ugly mood on the subject of Pearl Harbor. There have been charges that the Roosevelt administration concealed information not only for national security purposes but to prevent publication of embarrassing facts. The inquiry should be on within a fortnight with the top question a matter of the late President Roosevelt’s responsibility, if any. for unpreparedness in Hawaii on Dee. 7, 1941. Congressional inquiry was assured yesterday when senate majority leader Alben W. Barkley, D.. Ky moved that a joint housesenate committee be created to do the job. He said he acted with the

approval of Mr. Truman. One of the significant questions to be answered by the investigation is what hit Texas-born Adm. James Otto Richardson, one-time commander ot the U. S. fleet, who was relieved prematurely before Pearl Harbor for reasons never disclosed. Mr. Trunfan, Barkley and Democratic house leaders are making the best of a bad bargain by taking the investigation initiative. There is an old political saying Which runs like this: , „ "If you can’t lick ’em, join em. —q —— — 1,200 WARPRISONERS (Continued From T * , ' g, ‘ nn>) the east shore of Tokyo bay under an air evacuation program. Flights probably will reach five dally soon. Prisoners liberated on Formosa bore scars from brutal beatings and other torture. They said a Japanese guard broke the jaw of the prisoner. Only two men attempted to escape during the long years of waiting. Both were recaptured and literally, worked to death. Navy doctors despaired of saving the lives of a number of prisoners who were described as too pitiably eiliaciated” to be moved to waiting ships. They were under treatment in -their former prisons. Most of the British prisoners were members of artillery and engineer units who had escaped from Dunkerque only, to fall into Japanese hands in the retreat down the Malayan peninsula into Singapore. A carrier-borne marine torpedo plane piloted by Capt. Dick Johnson of Williamsport, Ind., landed on the Matsuyama airfield near Tateoku Wednesday with Marine Maj. Peter Folger of San Francisco to determine the heeds of the men. Frightened Japanese drove Folger to the camps In an old Packard. Soon afterward, dozens of fighters and torpedo planes flew more than 10,000 pounds of food and medical supplies into the airfield.

SYNOPSIS TERRY ARNOLD, a young Vermont newspaperwoman, has written a fairly successful novel. To gather material for a second book she has gone to the Argentine, her subject matter to be the wealthy playboy set of that Latin-American country. Other characters are: BROOKS KIMBERLY, owner of Ultimo Ventura, a race horse; CORINNE ARTIGA3, Kimberly’s fiancee, and RAFF CORDOBA, architect and friend of Kimberly. • • * YESTERDAY: Terry receives a dozen yellow roses from Rail Cordoba in thanks for a “heavenly evening" the night before and her invitation to visit Brooka Kimberly’s Norman castle not only holds good, but turns out to be a reality when she is taken to the airport and sped front thero by air to the beautiful estate. CHAPTER EIGHT THE COUNTRY unfolded below Brooks’ plane like a huge brown carpet, occasionally dotted by scattered buildings of an estancia, with their inevitable even lines of eucalyptus and poplars standing boldly against the power of the constant pampas winds. Great herds of cattle slid by like mottled lakes. Horses ran wildly at the sound of the plane, their shaggy manes flying in the wind. Great stacks of yellow maize flanked the enormous barns. “This is strange country,” Brooks said almost dreamily. “You will curse the constant winds, the monotony of these open plains and yet you win learn to love it. Once it gets in your blood you will never want to leave.” "I think I understand,” Terry said eagerly. "It’s the vastness of it that holds you. In the States, Texas makes you feel much the same way.” The neatly laid out towns were thinning now and getting smaller, farther apart, as the plane raced westward. There were fewer plowed fields and more open range country, wdiere great herds of white-faced Herefords roamed at will. “Fifty odd ears ago, when my fattier first came out here from England, it was really a wild country," Brooks was saying. "The estancieros had great tracts of Itad bfct'little else. It meant hard work from daylight until long after dark. Most estancias had only little shacks to live In—-no. palaclos like you see down there.

yawn. "I’m very glad I didn’t live t in those days. It all sounds exceSI sively dull.” e Brooks’ lips twisted in a faint [ smile. “My boy, you would have starved to death in this country in those days. It was either work s yourself to death or die from starvation. You would have chosen the latter, I’m sure. It’s so much 1 easier.” Raff smiled at Terry. "Some build-up that gentleman’s 1 giving me! To hear him you’d think b I’d never put in an honest day’s ’ work in my life. As a matter of t fact, I’ve been strongly flirting with ’ the idea, of late, of doing something with my architecture.” “Are you an architect?" Terry asked. "Licensed and everything." r “He just doesn’t work at It," 1 Brooks said good naturedly. “He - says it is useful, though, after 8 1 o’clock in the evening. It gives him -a subject to discuss over a cockr tail." t They flew on for a while without - talking. Terry found her eyes wan- . dering to the strongly etched prof file of Brooks Kimberly. He was the - perfect hero of a love story. There f was strength In his quietness. A j certain melancholy about him that held a quality of dreaming rather . than of moroseness. It was like 1 looking into the black depths of a , pool where the bottom is indetermiI nate. When he spoke, the deep reso- , nance of his voice held a definite . fascination. Terry found herself wishing that Brooks would talk r again. Tell her more of this coun- , try to the south. This vast storehouse of riches that for centuries, ’ during the Spanish colonial period, had been branded as worthless waste, not fit for colonization. • While the pampas were being ig- . noted, the wallowing galleons of ! Spanish kings had been inching I thair way through treacherous seas 1 from Peru loaded with gold and I silver. Now, in one year the wealth that rolled in from this pampa was ’ far greater than the flow of gold 1 and silver that had come out of ■ Peru in three centuries. The constant drone of the engine had put Raff Into a sound sleep. I Terry broke the silence, carefully. She didn’t want him suspecting she ! had done research on the country. 1 “We learned in college that there 1 was very little farming here in the ’ early days,” she said, I . Brooks seemed- pleased tjikt a : from North America had read about his country. He smiled at her. . “You’re right,” he said. “The
