Thee are sew-ral good books in American literature which testify to the same somber and ugly mood during the period of Reconstruction which followed the Civ I War. Inclth-ntally, "The Tragic Era" by Claude G. Bowers is one of them. —o Every postwar period provides a study in disillusionment. While the battle flames, there hi unity and high purpose and great sacrifice. But when lbs guns coed and the smoke dears, people begin to relax and Jet down. They start quarreling with each ottear.

The hope of a brave new world fades. i O-O--Genral Patton says another war ia inevitable aincc wars are start d by mad men. Me may be right but we hope the real leaders ail over the world will make an honest effort to prevent further wars. The neat one wll! be so disastrous that civilization may be completely destroyed. Parades and celebrations are uu pleasan 1 to most admirals and genends who return from the war a* heroes but they take their part as good citizens and soldiers to increase Interest In the Victory imad and Community Fund campaign. We must meet the goals to conclude the war. —u— v— The world series over, we can now look to football for the next month as the headlii> sport. It looks like a good pigskin season The baseball classic produced Ute largest cash receipts In history and its probable that meet football games will be sold out long before the date of play. O-O— About the asest popular movement that could be inaugurated in this country right now would be a no-strike campaign that would permit every one to settle down to a taood, tong and prosperous pull.

Represutatlves ot the slate tax board have made some 'eductions In taxes in this county. Five cenlt was cut from the hikhway department. this being held illegal, and two cents was chopped off the general tax rate as set np. Tue Decatur total rate will be 12.43. -——o—o——Frost came throughout Indiana this week but thanks to a kind Providence most as the crops were out of the way Little damage Is repiated to corn and tomatoes. The weather bureau predicts nice autumn weather for the rest of the month and millions will enjoy it. —o if you failed to register or correct your registration card before this evening, you can't vote in the special election to be held November 10th on the issuance of bonds to build a hospital near Berne. It should be a reminder to always keep your registration correct so you can vote when elections are held. —o— The local Red Cross chapter weeds the assistance of volunteer workers to continue Hv aid io those overseas, in hospitals and in the lands of our allies. Womei who can spare a little time to sew or knit for our boys in service, phose get in touch with Mrs. Will Bowers O' go to the Legion borne Wednesday afternoons. Your help is badly needed right now. —o Congress is trying to reduce federal taxes and every one hopes they will find it possible, immediate requirements however in discharging the armed forces are large and much money will be needed to mo t all the bills. Any way Its encouraging that those who represent thr people In the law making bodies are working at the task of reducing taxes. In another year that should really be possible. —o That is history. It happened after the Napoleonic wars. Europe was full of n- w-made graves The economic system wa» wrecked. People could see nothing ahead hut despair. The spirit of the revolution based on liberty, equality and fraternity was succeeded for a time by black reaction. But in the long run Europe tame through and enjoyed a century of progress.

The same thing was true at the clour of the American Revolution. The Thirteen Colonies were a/ each others' throats soon after the victory over George 111. it was in a dark and uncertain hour that the CoastitutloMi Convention was calkd for the purpose of bringing order out of chaos. The Constitution saved the day and launched the greatest Republic which the world has ever known. Q o it was « great world series tor the fans although by so means the best one figured from the view of errorless baseball. The gang got about evry kind of a thrill and the series lasted until the string finally ran out, seven games.

The Tigers went to Chicago a game behind und took three of the games there to win tbe championship. o—o—— The averagt person does not thrill at tbe convietioa oi war critninais and reg'Us the necessity at such action but the world cannot permit those wlw needlessly murdered millions of people to go uupuulsbed.

CHAPTER THIKTY-FIV® THE CROWD of peons parted obediently aa Terry pushed her way through them to the truck. They were still too surprised at her appearance either to welcome or resent her intrusion. But aa she reached the truck and began to climb determinedly up onto its platform, she caught a glimpse of Tomas' face glowering at her. The next instant his heavy voice rumbled out, vindictively. “So now they’re sending their woman to force us to help them!"

A rumble went through the i crowd. 1 Terry, one foot on the hub of the wheel, the other on the fender, suddenly found her way Mocked by Tomas' towering figure. "Get out of my way, Tomas!" she said sharply. “Save your breath," Tomas told her roughly. “Go back now before you get hurt. We know what's good for us, and we’re not helping with the tucura tonight!" Even in her swift anger, Terry could feel the electric hush that held the crowd of peons. She turned to look around her, Angela's father and mother were in the group close to her. She looked straight at Angela's father and said in quiet com-' nutad. "Help me up. Pedro." As her eyes locked his, she could almmrf see the struggle going on in the dark-skinned head of the criolie. He should not do it Yet his wife was shoving him—and thia woman had saved the life of his baby. Reluctantly he moved forward and gave her the boost that lifted her onto the platform of the truck beside Tomas and Juanito. She cried out involuntarily at thia eloMr view of Juanito's wounds ’Juanito! It is terrible—the way they beat you!" A murmur of fearful assent •wept the crowd. Terry cried, “Someone from the Workers' league beat you when you went to the gasoline shed to eheck the gas for Renpr Sandy. Is that not so, Juanito?" She coidd hear the gasps in the darkness all about her. How did the aenorita know this? She wont on rapidly: "And these men told you they would beat everyone who helped fight the tucura, didn’t they?" The gasp of surprise grew Into a rumble of agreement, as Juanito stared at hta. with frightened awe. Terry's voice rang out passionately. "I know aU about this league. I have seen the pamphlets they anaak to yeu. I have «v*» heard

them talking to you at night, telling you they would hurt your children. 1 do not blame you for being frightened!” She had caught them with her sympathy. They were listening, breathless and eager. She plunged on. her fists clenching with effort. "But you must not obey them! Believe me, you must not obey them! They are like the tucura. If you do not fight them they will grow strong and take over the land!" She was carrying them with her, ' she knew it And then aa she felt ' her persuasion taking effect the

rough voice of Tomas drowned hers. "You can’t force us to go and help them!" Terry turned on him. *Tm not trying to force you!" she cried. "You are trying to trick us into going!" he shouted angrily. "No!” She turned back to the crowd, now murmuring uncertainly again. "1 am trying to tell you who la your friend and who is your enemy." Toinas* voice roared out again. "You are a foreigner! How can you know who is our friend and who la our enemy?" “Yes, I am a foreigner!" Terry cried. "But in my country we have j leagues, too. We call them rackets! lAt first we were afraid of them. But now we have learned to fight them as our worst enemy!" She was shouting desperately now. Gradually, aa Tomas’ arguments gttw louder she realized she was going to have to fight organized resistance. She had been to political meetings in New York, where professional beeklem had been planted through the crowd. Tomas was directing Just such a rooting gallery here! Mi sharp glances and careful gestures were bringing out echoes as sopfitag argument at picked plaoas throughout the crowd! Inexorably the scoffing gained tn volume. Even though her words could stiU be heard, tha peons were growing restless and confused. If she only had a megaphone—or a k>ud speaking system! For a strange split second her emotions tricked her. She aaw heri self, Terry Arnold, sophisticated i New York writer, standing on tha > platform of a truck—a ludicrous , speck in tha immensity of pampas around her, haranguing a handful i of peons! Then the sardonic vision i passed.

She could smell the l , rancid odors of the burning tueura 1 I in the night breeze. Vaguely she . was conscious of the headlights of ! a car moving along the road from f the direction of the fires. She f shouted on, refusing to admit she I couldn’t be heard now much beyond s the truck. voles was railing trium- >, phanUy. "The Kimberlys don’t care t if we're ail beaten, as long as we e save their erope!"

Terry's shouted reply was lost In tha crowd's roar ot fear. Hopelessly ahe was ready to give up when she saw that Juanito bssMs her was listening. Mo turned to him to plrad ‘ "Make them listen.

Even the hecklers dared not ignore him. Terry bad one more precious minute of silence. Her voice was hoarse, but conviction rang through IL “Tonight Juanito ffisotoeyed the league. He was beaten. Tonight you would not help Senor Kimberly. Did he beat you? No! Did his father beat your fathers? Not Did his grandfather beat your grandfathers ? K "No!"
