"The devil invented the presidency;" White wrote to Post-master-General James A. Farley, “by combining all the futile despair of Sisyphus with the ag<my ger of the nervous irritation of a man with ants in bis pants. I have done a lot of mean things in my life, but I never wrote a mean article about a President while be was in office." Not every writer has been ao considerate as White, or so appreciative of the tribulations that pour in on the White House. Presidents can atid du make mistakes, but criticism

An After-Operation Ha zard

Atelec tiili means that the tiny air sacs In the Inngs collapse These things have always been an important after-operaUon hazard and they still are today though doctors now realise that much can be d»ne to prevent them. Dr*. Robert D.

Interesting and comprehensive report on the various phases of obtaining I a golf course for Decatur In Mr. Lean’s report It was cited that golf architects viewed two possible sites, including the 65 acres surrounding the Stratton Place sub-divisiou and a square of land lying north of U. 8. highway 224 and west of V. 8. highway 27. The report dealt with the adaptability of the two tracts as a golf course, and the probable cost of converting the places Into a suitable area for the out door spurt As .Mr. Mac Lean, so aptly summarized thi- questions now to decide are: Shall Decatur have: A municipally owned and operat ed golf course A private club, or An individually owned golf

.; course. • i Other questions are answered in ' the intelligent and pain-taking re- ‘ port which Mr. Mac Lean made to 1 the community this week. Me commend Mr. Mac Lean on the splendid manner in which he presented the whole matter. A good golf course steps-up any community. The rolling acres comprised therein afford wholesome | recreation and exercise for the 1 followers of the Scottish sport, -o it goes without saying that those who play the game or would like to indulge In it. view the possibility of acquiring such an adjunct to community life with avid interest. The immediate future holds i many problems for our city govern- ■ ment. Not discouragingly, but as a matter of fact. It must be stat- ! ed that projects entailing a fewmillion dollars are now on the 1 council’s table. These Include remodeling of the electric plant and possibly its removal to a mure advantageous site; compliance with the state's mandate to install a sewage disposal system and the building of adequate storm I sewers for inundated areas. Other listed municipal improvements are the swimniihg pool at Worthman field; parking lots and an itni provement. at increased cost to the taxpayers, in the method of ' gathering and disposal of garbage. Whether or not the city can i finance a golf rourse seems a matter for the citizens and enthusiesta to decide.

"Any sign of Vicentt?" Cliff asked “How could there be? rhe water a «tx inches deep tn all the i trails I-es« get som’thing to ent' ! Disgustedly Madison Kicked the black muck from ita boots That blastec. bungling Sloan' The bigger the nan. the smaller the brain ’ He glanced up at Cliff and sudden- ' ly smiled "Os course you might not agree with that “ Inside ihe eook shack Florian dumped two spoonfuls of sugar into hix coffee, hesitated, and added a third "Well, wor-ying about Vicente won't bring him back." he said, "so let’s forget it 1 want to tai’* to you nbout thin rubber bustness Have you another of those good American cigarettes?" Take the pack ” “Oh. thanks ” Madison began sipping his coftee "Before that fool Sloan let Vicente escape. Janet told me all about what you want to do I've been thinking it over, and I might get Claribel to agree to your rubber option—on one condition The condition being that you teii Cianbei it's absolutely necessary for Janet to stay here and work for you " Cliff s face had become ernotfonlees aa a mask "What does she know about rubber?" he asked “Janet knows anything she wants to know But that's not Important. The important thing is

that it’s the only way I'll help you. and you're intelligent enough to see I hold the whip hand." Cliff lighted a cigarette ind carefully blew out the match Much a* he hated this ultimatum forced down hi* throat, he was realist enough to know when all the cards were against him. and thia time he was playing against a winning combination—Madison and Janet. In spite of hi* resentment at the use she was making of him he felt an Impulse tc laugh For a rabbit, she certainly managed to get her own way And she hadn't lost any time In coaehtng Madison how to put the screws on Still, It was • game two might play. Cliff examined hi* cigarette "You win." he ratd. and hl* draw! had become almost gentle. Madison'* mobile face »howed hi* delight. “That'* fine! I'll go tell her." “Just a minute. It I hire Miaa Norman she’s got to work. I don't need ornamental* in my organisation—not even red-headed one* ’’ “That's up to Janet and yo t.

If it's the last thing 1 do That darned old tyrant can't always—" Madison stopped, but not t-vfore Cliff saw thoae strange slate-colored eyes strike Ore. At the door Madison turned "I'm flying down to the coast with . I'abio this morning I'll be back tomotrow, and meanwhile you and Jinct had better stay here Above all. don't show up in New Dixie until 1 see you again.

.both elated and angry Elated at. I the prospect of his eleventh hour I ' reprieve, angry at the condition | that Madison—really Janet, for that matter-was forcing him to accept But beyond all that he was j i puzzled by Madison's sudden willI ingness to let nun undertake the rubber work it wasn't jus because Madison wanted to nave 1 Janet stay; there was something .more to tt. something that nad i taken form tn Madison s mind . while they were talking earlier in 'the morning Clift gave it up.i There were 100 many things ne hao no answer for All ne could oe sure of was a future filled with dynamite, and two allies he had no shadow of trust m. A discreet knock sounded on the door, and Wade entered “Just heard vou and Miss Janet are stayin or tn spite of Claribei." The hunter looked genuinely pleased. "Claribel can be an old hellion and there's s good many of us here think a lot of Janet Norman." Cliff did not answer As far as he was concerned, both women could be a thousand miles away. Wade went on. “Just wanted to tell you to make yourself at home until Madison jets back Lilli and I are leavin' for the upper country. There’s a pair of jagoarh near the rubber plantations I oughts get a good price for '* Cliff looked eagerly up “Are you going to the plantations?” “Right to the edge of cm." “Will you take me?” U’ade scratched his head “We mayn't get back for five or six days, and Mad'son said you was to . see him tomorrow when he lies up from the coast." i “I think 1 can fix that if you'll taba ma ••

take mt. < Wade still looked doubtful 'What about Mi** Janet ?" “bet her stay here." There was j a spontaneous heartiness in Cliff's i voice that made the hunter look up at him. "I wouldn’t like that," he said slowly. "Not leave her all by herself ” "She's not a child, la *he?" Out came the blue handkerchief in evidence that W* e was struggling with a preHem. "You see.” he began uncertainly, "1 wouldn't want anything to happen." Remembering Janet's heel mark down by Vicente's cage, and her adroitness in forcing him to give her a job. Cliff asked bitterly. "What could happen? She might spank heck out of Plato, or tie your bushmastera tn knot*, but nothing could happen to her—that girl can take care of herself.* i Looking more and more unhapI py, Wade stood fumbling with his handkerchief, while Cliff added I more quietly, “Well. If you're afraid to leave her, why not take I her with us?" “She don't know much about this > jungle—ah* ain't like Lilli." Cliff Hew up again. "What * the ■ matter with her? You act as if she need* a nurse.“ I Wade gave hi* glistening foret head a poli*h "It'* this way. Mr .

Madison's shoulders were an Inch or two below the girl's, and he was taking long strides to keep step with her. Just outside the porthole they stopped, and Cliff heard Madison aay. "Don't worry.
