Its always a fin thins to invest wisely but Purdue experts advise agsiosi going in debt too deeply. They tell ua to consider returns in normal times rather than on todays markets.

It will be sev. eral months perhaps before you can get a full round but you will be able to place an order and take your turn. That will help some and by spring the worst of tbe lire difficulties ought to be over —o We believe congress and lh<president and other officials are making an earnest effort to do the very best that we may enjoy th*.* postwar period Leaders of iudustry and of labor also seem to be striving to adjust affairs. Its up to all of us to cooperate that we may prove to the world that a free government can meet the wishes of the people and keep them happy. o_o The navy knows that the people of America admires them and the rest of the world respects them The automobile union now has tbe authority to call strikes so far as General Motors and Chrysler plants are concerned but this may not be done pending action by the labor-capita! conference called for November sth aud other indications of a satisfactory gcn-ral policy. —o The election of Mrs Anita Oldham as president of the Indiana state teacher's association Is pleasing to her many friends in this community. Mrs. Oldham is the former Miss Anita Swearingen ot this city and has a host ot admiring frhmds who are happy over her success in being named to th's distinguished place in educational affairs. The organisation has 13.000 members and is considered a power in the mid-west. —o They tell us this will be the la«t campaign for th*- sale of war bonds.

President Truman will speak Tuesday night on a matter of the greatest importance— She wage and price policy to be followed during the reconversion and postwar period. The bottleneck caused by the frequent strikes is being flt and will probably continue until some definite slepH arc taken. The president will present his views, based on the advice of the leaders of labor and capital. Hear him Tuesday evening at nine o’clock and lets cooperate to bring about domestic peace and a better condition generally. 0 -0 ■■ The Victory Loon Generally speaking, this loan is prop.-rly named. It denotes we have won this meat terrible of ail ways and that wo are given an opportunity to once aga*n snffort our Government with ui' money and al the same time earn a profit by so doing. But this is not a Victory Loan in the total »• use of the word. Th -re are good reasons for saying that. Oea of them is the disabled Veteran, the man who cannot go back to his regular occupation because of some wound or disability received in Ito service of his country so that, in due time, we could celebrate oar Victory. The Victory 1-ouu was planned more for our disabled men than it was to celebrate Victory. Victory Loan War Bond money will find Hs way into th- solitude of the hospital meatal ward, into the veteran hospital opcratteg rovu*.

Into the work shop into rehabilitation and educational centers The rocipleuts of Victory Loan Bond dollars will be th* men who made it possible for us to celebrate this Victory That ia why this Isn’t a Victory Loan in the total sense We will not have complete Victory until wo give compl'te care to our wounded and disabled Then wo will not be (hushed. We must retrain them* men so they can stag*’ their own eomo-back Into organised society and make (or themselves a lace that was denied th.m during their service to all of us.

RIVAL TO MY HEART O ffr Aumofft

CHAPTER ONE 1 Agnes thayer sat •tiffyl before her handsome desk, » chocking lists for tonight's party. She was a spare, angular woman, the lines of her body as sharp as her tongue. Neither the! marcelled scallops of brown hair on I her sallow forehead nor her expensive black-and-white print drew could disguise the fact that she! looked more like an old-fashioned schoolteacher than Mrs. Howard i Thayer, mistress of Black Oaks, the famous old Thayer house. The biasing August sun poured! through the open French windows. I But Agnes ignored the physical! discomfort. There was still so much to do. Flowers for the drawing! room. “Hl call the florist,” she de-

cided. “There aren't near enough! flowers in the garden." There was an yveo more exasperating problem, I thorgh. Extra maids. She must have at least two, with so many oeoulc comma. , Agnes suffered acutely from the 11 servant shortage. No sooner did) she find the perfect cook, the intel-1 ligent gardener, than her husband,! Howard, snatched them away for service at the Thayer-Joika plant “They’re much more useful turning out engines for bombers than serving tea and cookies to the Woman’s! Club." he assured her tartly. “We’re | Bghting a war, Agnes.” As if she could forget it! Agnes’l pale lips eompresaed with a mar-1 tyred expression. No one could say I Mrs. Howard Thayer wasn't doing her share. The Red Cross, the U. 5.0., the Scrap Drive. And ihe Springdale Health Now there was a sore spot with | Agnes. Against her wishes; agaiust her blunt, outspoken objections, the Committee had decided te offer the job of Health Officer te young Dr, I Gail Benton. 1 The door opened and her stepdaughter, Lucienne, earns in. "My dear," Agnes said reprovingly, “you are supposed te rest after lunch.” . Lucienne’s slim, eighteen-year-eld body was enveloped in a white piqud housecoat, fastened at the waist by a Hue satin bow. Her shoulder-length Monde hair was combed in slavish imitation of Veronica Lake’s hairdo. But there was shining intelligence in the sherrycolored eyes, good common sense in the sturdy little hands. “I’m fed up with rest! That’s aU I did for three weeks in the hospital.” She padded across the rug and flopped into a chinte-covered ehair, stretching her i legs out before her. ."All this rumsense for a mere appendectomy- » ® coming downstairs tonight*.” “Indeed not, Luetenne. You know , what Doctor McCormick gold.’ “Doctor McCormick,” Lucienne said serenely, “may be your idea of God. but I think be’o a stuffed shirt Why don’t we use Gai! Benton as ear family doctor, anyway!"

DOUBT TRUMAN (Contlaued From Fags Om) tbe past. That was his reiteration that the United States does not want ' one inch of territory "anywhere In the world." But Mr. Truman, as before, sharply qualified that statement by adding that we would insist on "the right to establish necessary bases for our own protection ” He made no suggestion of international control of bases. Home diplomats believe such practice will give Russia Justification for seeking a foothold in the Mediterranean or North Africa. The president’s speech outlined the 12 fundamental points of America's foreign policy. It also expressed U. S determination to retain the most powerful military force in the world and to keep the industrial secrets of the atomic homh as “a sacred trust." Following are some of the day-to-day problems to which such policies must lie applied: Atom bomb—the U. S. dhtega-

I "Doctor McCormlek is not only the head of the Thayer Hospital,” Agnes answered eoldly, “but he is the best doctor in Beauchamp. And | Gail— * , “I know. Gail’s only a poor rela--11 tion.” Lucienne lit a cigarette, blowiling smoke with mors enthusiasm than skill. "Where’s Aunt Reyna!" • "She went back upstairs after I lunch. I believe she’s working on I! her book." >1 "What a wonderful life she’s had I 1 I mean, living in Europe all these . yean, and knowing practically ev--1 srybody.

Agnes ehose to forget that I If it weren’t for Howard’s tnexplie- ■ aide second ehoiee. she might have suffered a similar fate. As if to answer her aocusattona, the door opened again and Reyna Thayer blocked the threshold. She of modium haigbt, though a kinky black hair was pulled off her tow forehead. Her small, deep-sot black eyes snapped with vitality. She wore a dressing gown of mauve satin, the ruff of which encroached on her short, thick noek. She «•»* > aged somehow to took both iatprvo-

Western hemisphere—Mr. Trumau made It plain that the U. H. is going to play a major role all over the world. But he ruled out ’outside Interference" In the western hemisphere. Thia could conflict with the new United Nation’s mandate to prevent threats to the peace anywhere In the world. Dependent peoples—The U. 8. favors independence for all peoples ready for it. Hut Is is now confronted with a tremendous around swell among the peoples of Asia against a return to colonial statue. The U. 8. will have to apply its principle soon to the Dutch-Indonesian dispute, tbe In-do-Chinese demand for autonomy from France, the ever present Burmese and Indian problems, and. by nest July 4, to Its own Philippine Islands. Equal navigation rights - Tbe U. 8. wants such rights for all nations on waterways "which pass through more thsn oue country” — the Rhine and Danube rivers in Europe, for example. But by Its definition It excludes from the principle such important waterways as the Dardanelles (In which Russia wants a larger intereat), and the Sues and Panama canals all ot which pass through only one country. Britain's vessels sre going around Routh America now rather than pay Panama Canal tolls. ————«———— Close Restaurant For Remodeling Decatur had one lees up town .-oat aura nt today.

numbers to 71.Kt0.000. This goal would about equal the slaughter rate thia year. However, the deffartasant plans io <toll for a sharp eut In the output of poultry and eggs. The goals ' likely will request termers to cut. the 1945 egg production of 8,000.- j 000.000 dosen al least II percent next year. The chicken goal will be reduced proportionately. A retrenchment In turkey output al- ’ so ia planned Milk production this year will achieve the record level of IM,. 000,000,000 pounds. Dairy officials consider this too high for peace time demand, if present plans to withdraw dairy subsidies by next summer are carried out, output will drop at least S.OOP.OOOjOOO pounds, they said. Goals tor the nation’s biggest crop, corn, will be set at about 95,000,000 acres, or near the level of 1945 plantings. Sharp slashes are planned for acreages of the Imported oil bearing crops, which were expanded tremendously during the war to 1 make up for the lass of Imports i from the Pacific. The goals may recommend a drop of 400,000 acres or 12 per cent below the 1945 acreage of 3,240,000. The department now plana to ask farmara to out the 1946 soybean seeding of 10.500,000 seres, by 1,000.000 acres. However, It slso is thinking of removing the 30 cent-a-busbel subsidy, which would effect a 2,600,000-acre reduction. The 1945 flaxseed acreage of 4,200,000 acres may be dropped to 3.000,000.
