Disabled veterans must be trained to give them their chance at life. Victory Bond dollars are needad to help. —o There seemed to be more interest In the special election here after the polls closed than while the voting was in progress. —O—O As the football season draws near the close interest grows in basketball. In this country we always have some outstanding sport to entertain the public It was a quiet election and many qualified voters failed to go to the polls We boast about our democra< y but too frequently we fail to take advantage of our greatest right, that of suffrage. —o Proper lights, tail pipes and mufflers on cars are required under the law and police are making a check of all these. Several s< or<of peopb- who have paid one dollar fines know this is no bluff O—O— The labor management confer•nee got one thing out of the road, the one that blocked a similar •ession back In 191 H. They have •greed that collective bargaining Is the prop* r means for the first approach to wage adjustments. —o The first sniff of winter has Mown across the country seixlitig ehills up and down the spines of those unprepared. Its marly the middle of November and chances •re that from now on these cold waves will Ims frequent the n-xt four months. o—o While planning for Thanksgiving don't forget to work on your Christmas shopping lists. Stores have not yet caught up with th« demand and new stocks move out rapidly The sooner you get your gifts laid away the surer you will be of getting what you want.

James Dull, 88. of Rockford, died from burns received while burning leaves in his yard. His clothes caught fire and his right leg was Bo severely scorched that he died toon afterwards.

The record establish ed during the early days of this Republic have been well matched during the second world »»r *» d Ute voUruns may well le *' proud of their decorations

Help prevent Inflation by buying Victory "E" bands Yon will be better off because you will be saving for the time when your dollars will buy twice as much as now. Bern* citizens plan to buy a plot of ground, lay It out in lots and sell them at a price that the average returning veteran cun afford to pay. Most of these Itoys haven’t had an opiMirtunlty to save a lot of money but they certainly have the right to a home of their own. o—o Food crop prospects are a halt of one percent off from the average* of 1542-44, it has be* n announced by the national agricultural department. If It doesn’t decline any further ihata a remarkable record for the farmers of Am-rica really produced crops during that period. —o—o Lt. Governor Richard James has officially announced that Indiana will stage the first full-fledged state fair since 1941 n xt September. The buildings which have been used as an AAF supply depot will bi- processed at once so the state authorities and fair officials can take over and proceed with their plans. V. Kimmell, county agent in Allen county has organised the school children and started a campaign to rid that county of rats. Great damage has be n done by the rodents and the campaign will con tlnue until the last varmint has been disposed of the workers declare More than n thousand units : of r d squill wa- used by the workers over the week end.

Due to civic strife in Java where we were supposed to g- 1 a million tons tin- prospect now is gloomy. The Philippines won't export sugar fore ighteen months, the secretary stated. So be thrifty with your supply of the sweet stuff. o—o The Andrew Higgins Industries, Inc., one of the largest In the south which employed thousands of men and women will liquidate. Following a controversy with the AFL the mills were closed down, offered to the employes but now it is announced the company will be liquidated. Mr. Higgins seems d- termined. New Orleans will thus lose one of its most Important plants. The company has been one of the large boat ami ship manufacturers of the country . Q —O — Adams county citizens should make a real effort this week to build a showing in the Victory bond campaign that will indicate success. The days are flying past and we have a long ways to go If w'e are to make good on our quota. Every individual should buy a bond as soon as possible.

RIYAL TO MY HEART © BY AUTNOP; DKTB/BCfTED Bv *TNG FEATURES SYNDICATE, J

SYNOPSIS Young Oail Benton is the only woman doctor in Beauchamp. That she was a good doctor, not a man on tha Thayer Hospital staff conld deny-aithough none gave her much cooperation. Dr. Cassius McCormick, austere chief of staff, was openly resentful when she challenged his diagnosis of an obscura clinic patient named Zayle. Oail went over his head in ordering an X-ray for Zayle, and now feared the appointment aa Dr. McCormick’s assistant, for which she hoped, would go to Dr. Ralph Kramer. The latter has been showing more than a professional interest in Gail’a wealthy young cousin, Lucienne Thayer, who was recently hospitalized for an appendectomy. Agnes and Howard Thayer, stepmother and father of Lucienna, were entertaining Howard’s middle-aged sister, Reyna Thayer, who years ago had left Beauchamp after breaking her engagement te Caseide McCormick. Gail, who resents being a Thayer "poor relation," is escorted te the reception by Burke Gentry, young lawyer, with whom she is in love. At the great Thayer house, Gail deserts the party to visit Lneienne who is still confined to her room. Reyna liked Gail instantly, and wants her to meet Stephen McCormick, the doctor’e recently returned war hero sop. Stephen is a newcomer to Beauchamp, having lived abroad with hie mother following the letter’s divorce from Dr. McCormick. Burke eteen Gail toward the buffet. CHAPTER NINE

At the table, Burke bneied him •elf filling her plate. "Not too much," the begged, “after that •normous dinner." She felt a movement at her ride, •nd found Reyna Thayer standing there. Reyna had put a silver fox eape on her shoulders. "Some hot eotfee,” she told the maid, “I’m frozen!" Gail notired that the fat little hand trembled as it held tha eup of eoffet. She said to Harte, "1 think Reyna’s ill." “For Hreree’e sake—" Ms handsome mouth tightened, “eae’t you •ver forget your profeaakmT" Dr. McCormick had coma out of the library, and was approaching the buffet. Quite deliberately, Reyna turned her baek on him. “Do you know Doctor McCormick?" Gaii asked her. "He’s the father of the Stephen McCormick you were telling me about." Reyna glanced briefly at the doctor’s tell, lean figure. "I know him. ail right. I left Beauchamp thirty years ago because of him. Mr. Gentry, fetch mo a Scotch and soda, will you? The coffee isn’t warming me." “11l go with Burke," Gail oaid. "I really ought to call the hospital’’ Reyna caught her arm. "No, stay here, my dear. As soon as I have my drink. I’ll take you into ths library. Steve McCormick is in there." He was standing at the bleached piM eabiaet, fiddling with the amali radia. Against the background

The only Jspanose generals who visited Ricarte’s house, Romero ssld, were three subordinates named Nishimura. Nakamura and Saito Romero stuck to his story under a feeble pros-cution cross-ex am tu-

"The news from the war ironU is not good tonight.” the radio ecmmentator’s voice announced lugubriously. “Turn the darned thing off, Steve!” Reyna ordered. "Just a few minutes ago, I told you about the nicest girl in Beauehamp. Well, here she Is." Gail felt the color rise In her fare. "Yon are too good a press agent, Reyna," she ehided.
