Rig up a winning costume for the Hallow’een parade. You will have a heap of fun and may carry off a prize. o—o You can pay your fall taxes any time you wish now and it must be done by November sth to avoid penalties. u—u The Van Wert county fair shattered all records and those who attended, declare it a real show with plenty of entertainment along any line the visitors liked. —o The president has charted the course he believes is safest for the ship of state, the good U. S. A., but smooth sailing will only be possible if the. congressional leaders cooperate. O—o Nylon hose are selling in the eastern cities for five dollars per pair and thats still black market. It won't be long until you can pick 'em out at pre-war prices, any shade you wish. O—o These are still very difficult days if you need machine parts or expert help but the situation is improving and another few months will make quite a change so keep trying and hoping. O—O Veterans discharged from duty should report to the selective service board within ten days, receive new regisrdtion and classification cards which must be carried at all times and receive information of his reemployment rights. O—O The Japs are closing their infamous opium dens in China and the geisha girls are going home. They! have had a wild time the past several years withot much if any regulation. Now the British soldiers have taken over the large c’ties and will try to straighten out the morals of the. communities. O—O Officials call attention of motorists to the necessity for using utmost care, particularly as relates to meeting or passing school buses. These vehicles carry large number of children and an accident would be disastrous. Watch the cross roads and be careful when a school bus is approaching or is ahead of your car. O—O Business will boom for the smaldr business according to the president of one of the large life instance companies. That’s true for those who buy wisely, treat the public courteously and advertise. There will be sharper competition but the demand for goods will continue for s,e Teral years before hitting a normal stride. Many of the war criminate of Japan will no doubt have the opportunity of “dying for the emperor" rn due time. They are being huh ted down and will be tried for various

crimes all of which tended to torture the Yanks. Whatever the punishment it will be too light compared to the suffering and sorrow they caused. ’• o—O ‘ The ODT wartime restrictions on travel have been lifted and ret scrvatlons for travel by train or ’• bus can now be made forteen days in advance instead of five days as it has been the past several I months. It Is still very inconveu--1 lent to travel by any means but , the conditions are improving rapid--1 ly and ere long you can go when r and where you please so far as , regulations are concerned. O—O J The emperor of Japan decided last June 22nd to cue for peace. I realizing that his army could not hold the allied forces and that his navy was practically destroyed. The atomic bomb and the entrance of Russia may have sped up his action some and made it possible to convince his leading associates and the people generally that to go on meant total destruction but Herohito knew then and knows now that even without these additional forces, the jig wag up. O—O Go to school, young men and women. The past few years have been exciting and strenous but now we enter a new era. Those who qualify by securing more and special education will hold a great advantage. Thousands of returning veterans will take up their studies where they left off and many who have been helping out in war industries will also decide to better prepare. They are wise for they probably remember the old hymn line: "You , can be better than you are.” 1 O—O ( Congress now knows what the i president wants and will proceed 1 to discuss the various important , problems. The people generally have great faith in the president who is making such a splendid effort to restore the nation to nor- i malcy and to continue the better living program. If they listen to , him and act wisely, rather than play politics, this country will soon emerge from the trying days brought about by a four year war. We believe the leaders of both political parties feel that way.. O—O The Victory bond campaign will start October 29th. The goal will be eleven billion dollars. However the qquota for individuals is only four billion and but half of that Ebonds. Compared to several of the war loan drives, thte sounds easy and it will be if each person who can afford to do so, adds to his investments by purchasing as many bonds as possible. There are many billions of dollars in circulation and the campaign must be I successful to assure better conditions. Adams county will meet her quota, we feel sure, to complete a splendid record in support of the U. S. A.

o—o Mothers and fathers should take junior’s kite away from him if it is an "army and Navy Target Kite” equipped with wire cor’d, a warn ing issued today by the Accident prevention Committee of the Edison Electric Institute, states. The wire cord should be replaced with cotton or linen twine —and this goes for any type of kite. Such a make of kite was recently sold with 2,000 feet of insulated copper wire. If the wire, covered or otherwise, should come in contact with overheaded electric transmission lines an injurious or even fatal amount of current would be carried to the boy on the ground. It is a greater distance from the northwest corner of Montana to the southeast corner than from Chicago to Washington, D. C.... A total of IW> barrels of oil daily are produced in Wyoming. It is estimated the state has twice the capacity for that. The oldest Methodist church west of the Alleghenies, Rehoboth church, near Union W. Va.. is in aliSost perfect state of preservation. It was built in 1786.

Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE ♦ Q. Which te really preferable, a church wedding or a home wedding? A. The church wedding fe preferable when many invitations are issued, but if only the immediate families and most intimate friends are invited, the bride’s home is usually preferred. Q. Is it good form for one to say to a person, "I have forgotten your name”? A. No, it is very unflattering to say such a thing. Q. What tea corsage bouquet? A. A bouquet of flowers fastenened on the waist or bodice of a woman’s gown. ♦ I Household Scrapbook I | By ROBERTA LEE J Care of Palms It is not well to water palms too often. It is much better to allow the earth to become dry, then give it a good soaking. The palm leaves should be .sponged every, week to keep them in good condition. Prevent Slipping Do not allow the cljild to form the habit of dropping the eoap into the bottom of the bath tub. It is extravagant, and there is ateo the danger of slipping on it. Pancakes Pancakes will not stick to the griddle if the griddle is rubbed with fine salt. Skilful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

With the ending of hostilities in this war have come manifold problems to be solved and important decisions to be reached in the near future. The machinery of reconversion is already in progress and our veterans are returning by the thousands daily. With the return of the men who have so successfully defeated the enemy, it is appropriate ♦hat fitting tribute be paid in their honor and in their memory. With this thought in mind, cities in this country have already begun to make plans for the erection of some form of memorial to serve as a gesture of appreciation to our armed forces. Gaining rapidly is popularity is the idea of constructing living memories to take the place of huge statues and costly stone monuments. These memorials are planned not only to show our gratitude to our veterans, but also to benefit the entire community for future generations, auditoriums, parks, stadiums, or public playgrounds for the use of our citizens care, in the opinion of many, far better serve as a monument to our fallen heroes than the dead memorials of marble or granite. It is not too early for the citizens of this community to seriously think about establishing some form of war memorial. It will be years before some semblance of normal conditions has returned to everyone’s disrupted lives, but now is the time to start repayment of the huge debt we owe to the memory ■ of those who have sacrificed all for their community ana country. i /I O BY a ■ I FRED W.

SYNOPSIS ’. I TE?.r.T ARNOLD, a young Vermont 1 nf-Wipßperwotnan, has Written a fair- . lr successful novel. To gather mate- ' rial for a second book she has gone ' to tba Argentine, her subject matter ■ ta> fee the wealthy playboy set of that , La tin-American country. Other characters are: BROOKS KIMBERLY, owner of Ultimo Ventura, a race horse; CORINNE ARTICAS, Kimberly’s fiancee. and RAFF CORDOBA, architect and friend i of Kimberly., , YESTERDAY: On her way to the Kimd berly castle in the country, Terry learns some of the history of the Argentine ranches from Brooks Kimd berly. The plane in which Kimberly, „ I Raft Cordoba and Terry are flying 8 finally lands and Terry finds herself at the great Norman castle, which is b the size of a summer hotel. CHAPTER NINE 18 WHEN THE plane rolled t® a •top on the macadam runway Terry saw a tall, well-knit man, florid of c . face and dressed in tan riding breeches and leather boots, jump from a waiting station wagon and - stride toward the plane. ‘"That is Sandy MacLaughlin, the mayordonio," Raff said briefly. “A very important hombte around this place. In fact, he’S the bdss —that is, when the boss is away.” While Brooks Introduced Sandy to Terry she noticed the latter’s look of anxiety. “China’s done it again, Senor,” he reported excitedly. “He took first at Las Palmas.” Terry could see the look of delight that spread over Brooks’ face. Then in a sober tone the mayordomo went on, “But since we've been home he’s not been acting too well. I think he got overheated while we were loading.” Brooks* delight faded into concern. “Has the veterinarian seen him ?” “Yes. He’s down at the barn now.” Sandy picked up the three pieces of luggage and they started toward the car. All the way to the palacio Brooks questioned him about the animal’s symptoms. When he had rounded the last curve on the white crushed stone driveway he turned to Raff and Terry. “If you’ll excuse 1 w," he said, "Til go on down to the barns with Sandy. Maria will show you to your rooms.” Maria’s dark-skinued, round face Was bright with smiles as Raff introduced Terty. With affected menace in his tone he quickly added, i. "You’ll have to keep an.eye on this i !'■' -lady, Maria. She'S,’a fofeigper, you . I know, from Estados Unidds del Norte America!” “Buenos!” Maria cried. “Some day Maria go there when she get rich!" ' Raff turned to smile at Terry. “When you’re ready I’ll nieet you «h the tfcrif&ce fdt llmch&m. I’m famished.” , After Raff had iHsappeg-red

control of the car. Upon further investigation by the newspaper, It was found that he had the elbow of his left arm on the door; thus having very loose contact between the wheel and his left hand. At the speed lie was driving, a sudden jar in the road caused the driver to loce control of the car and a sei 1ous smaßhup resulted. It is not considered safe driving to drive with one hand or in a leisurely fashion with the elbow of the left arm renting on the win-

through the arched doorway that led into the living room, Terry followed closely in the. wake of the native woman as she trudged up the long flight of stone steps. Terry’s eyes were wide as they swept in the lavishness of the surroundings. After the brightness of the early afternoon sun the palacio seemed quite dark. The light gray stone walls and floors made a perfect background for the soft fusion of color in carpets and drapes. Most of them, Brooks had said, the late Senor Kimberly had bought in the Orient Such a strange blending, Terry thought The buildings are purely French, the furnishings oriental, and yet there is the quiet dignity of the English manor house about the place. It’s like the country; definitely cosmopolitan, yet perfectly blended. Terry caught her breath. The room had that pleasing quality which comes only with direct contrast It was like a frosty dish of pink ice cream on a stifling summer day. After Marla had gone Terry stood in the center of the rdom, just looking. The carpets were the shade of rich, thick cream, the sheer silk drapes an icy blue, frtench doors stood open onto a wide balcony. A soft breeze heavily laden with the sweet smells of ripening grain drifted into the room. Terry stepped out onto the balcony. Below stretched acres of neatly clipped green lawn, formal gardens bordered with low, boxlike hedge, the swimming pool so clean and cool in the sun, and beyond the estate grounds, unfolded the endless stretches of pampas—a flat, brown sea of land that seemed to know no bounds except the dim line of horizon. Terry saw Raff come out through the living room doors and flop info a lounging chair on the terrace. He had changed from his tweeds to white flannels and open-necked white shirt. Suddenly she realized he was waiting for her to have lunch. She pulled her fascinated gaze away from the beauties of her surroundings and hurried to shower and change her dress. As she came onto the terrace Raff scrambled to his feet. “You’ve no doubt been told before that yellow’s your color." She smiled. “You do always say the right thing.” Raff nodded toward a bamboo chair. “Sit down,” he said. “I’ll, go tell Maria that we're ready for luncheon.” They had just started eating when Brooks came up the flagstone path, his coat flung over his shoulder, his dark hair moist on his forehead. Raff moved quickly to <t-aw up another chair. RfiS'aaid, ’’You look like the end «f a bad wreck. Pour him some tea, .•SA . .• i A' -*• . A .
