It appears that the Creighton campaign will be run in a luke-warm manner by the state chairman. Former President Herbert Hoover received a great ovation at the convention. A commentator said It was the first enthusiastic greeting ever given Mr. Hoover. He made a fine talk and warned that his party should not "play politics," merely as a game to win.; Maturity has given the former president wisdom. o o Democrat congressional leaders Were quick to detect the hypocrisy in the GOP platform. Many of the planks are In direct contrast to the action taken by Republicans in congress on the farm bill, European aid. civil rights and veterans’ housing. In the platform they endorse these projects, but while congress was in session the Republican members voted against them. o o The Mississippi delegation to the Democrat convention may walk out if President Truman is nominated, or the civil rights program is not repudiated. It's probably a bluff on Ute part of the disgruntled faction in the state, but a threat which convinces this part of the country that President Truman is right in his request for snore Christian-like consideration of mankind just because of color.

Thousands await this newest development. Tonight's Joe LouisWalcott fight has created the desire among untold numbers to have the bout televised to their home. This county should be able to have television in a few years, since it is so close to Fort Wayne, where in all probabllty the broadcast stations will be developed for this area. Possibly in an other four years all of us can "look in" on the next presidential conventions, as we sit in front of our radios. Jacob Weiss. Indianapolis attorney and widely known through out the state, is charged with two other men of making nearly 1600,000 In one year from black market ■ profits in whisky. They are charg -ed with investing 1108.000 and . making money so fast that they baled it away in bushel baskets However, the trio may be sheared, as Uncle Sam charges them with) evading income taxes and that is an expensive matter, even if they are able to prove their innocence. o ■ o ■ Monopolies: Attorney • General Tom Clark’s declared w-ar on business monopolies gets added point from a reI port of the Twentieth Century Fund, part of which has recently been released. Monopoly trusts, says the re Ijort, permit inrificient companies to make money at the expense of the customer, when they should be compelled either to reorganise or quit. Monopolies are unprogresaive because they discourage new industrial techniques; the members of a trust all hang together, and do business in the same old way. The Coolidge and Hoover administrations seem to have been the great days of monopolies. Most of 1 the data studies by the Fnnd come from this period. Although they were as illegal then as now, ft seems not to have been the admin Ist ration policy to interfere. The general public thinking of that era was different from what it is now Public thinking does change, through the years, as experience proves different from theory, and sometimes it changes for the bet- | ter. The consequences ot monopoly were often disastrous. To keep its prices uncfhansFd between 1935 and 1932. one large nickel corporation reduced Its output 8A percent, the Fund report says. This cost thousands of employees their jobs, and kept nickel from much of its ' potential usefulness

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE ANDREW walked toward the road with the older man, saw him into his car. Sayre pressed the starter, then leaned out toward him. “Listen," he said. “1 don't know what you paid for this place, nor what you had to spend remodeling it, but I'm offering you ten thousand right now." Ten thousand! Double hts money. To another man thia mtght have proved an trreaistible temptation, but to Andrew— use.; x> large sums from infancy—it meant practically nothing. Because it was not a house thia man was offering to buy, but his home—Andrew's. The only home he had, now. “No," he said again, but this time his voice was gentler, and he added. "I'm sorry, but 1 just don't want to selL”

Ogden Sayre nodded, and drove off. But though he wu soon out of sight, he was not, Andrew had to acknowledge, out of mind. He went back to hie spading. but he did it now mechanically, no longer conscious of the tunny morning and the little breeze, no longer noticing Joe’s antics, no longer reveling in the sheer Joy of working his own plot of ground. Suddenly be cast down the spade, went Indoors, and wandered through the rooms of the house. Every inch -f it was dear to him. Why should he sell it? He'd never find another as satisfactory. It was all right for Mr. Sayre to talk about buying another one, fixing it up. Another one would never be this one. Houses had personality, and this house bad a personality which matched his own, gave him a feeling of c«npietion. He did not know quite how it happened, but the next thing he knew be was sitting at the secretary, going through his check book. Eight hundred and twentythree dollars.

Another way is to clean out the cracks between the noisy boards and insert liquid glue.

It he had done only a little—ts he had left the bam untouched, and only modernized the bath and the kitchen—it would not have coat very much, and he would have had enough of a bank balance to be able to laugh in Ogden Sayre's face, to dismiss his offer carelessly. To forget about it. But now he couldn't It went with him everywhere that day. Hie first attempt at beef-stew was undercooked and tough, but Andrew downed it without noticing. If only he had someone to talk to, someone to advise him! Yet even as he wished this, Andrew knew that it was not the solution. This was something he would have to resolve himself. He worked doggedly on through the afternoon, and finished planting the seedlings Tomorrow, be decided, making a note on his calendar, he would investigate the cress bed which he had discovered under the banka of hlu brook. The day after, a neighbor was coming to plow the south field for him. Andrew had been a little aghast at the figure charged, but the man had a tractor, and could do it in one day. After that, he would have to work fast to get in his planting of vegetables For Andrew had decided to raise truck thia first summer, in the hope of disposing of it to the hotels nearby. Joe trailed him out to the garage. and leaped expectantly onto the front Beat of the car when he opened the door. He backed the car out and headed for Mrs. Potts’. He Just had to tell someone about thia offer, if only to be reassured that he had done the nghl thing in refusing. He ran the ear In toward the back and went to the kitchen door.

She ratUed on. while Andrew’s mind worked at frantic speed. Orange tops! He knew practically nothing about mushrooms, but he had glanced into a book about them once or twice, and there wat one—with an orange top—callee the Amanita Muscaria which was violently poisonous. What if Gloria had eaten some of those? What was the antidote for mushroom poisoning, anyhow? He hadn’t the slightest idea. He only knew that he must act, and act quickly, ts what he suspected wss true. He said casually, "You’re not getting a cold, are you, Gloria? Your voice sounds hoarse.” She laughed. "Os course not! It’s just that I’m practicing using a husky voice. All the great actresses have a husky voice. Hadn’t you noticed?” Andrew, tn a fever of anxiety by this time, could hardly control ius own voice and achieve the casual note he desired. “Just the same, you'd better let me look at your throat You don't want to come down with something now, with the Sophomore Hop coming off next week." That got to her. "Heavens, noi" she said. "Wen, let me look at It" He led her over to the sink. "The light's better here,” he said. "Open your mouth wider, Gloria. I can t see." With a sudden movement, he thrust his finger far down her throat Gloria gave him one anguished glance of horror, and then was sick—thoroughly sick. When she straightened up from the sink, he.- eyes streaming, and her face convulsed with angry reproach, be gave her no time to talk. -Quick now!" ha said.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY — June 24. 1928 was Sunday. MINER DEMANDS (Cont. From Page One) on a 1948 contract. He asked for a reduction in the work day from eight to seven hours, plus a general pay boost and an increase in the 10 cents per ton levy tor the union welfare and retirement fund. Though the demands were made tn general terms, industry sources added them up this way: The cut in the work day would be equivalent to a pay ntke of sl.63—the miners' average hourly wage. Presumably Lewis’ demand for a general wage increase would amount to between 10 and 14 cents, according to the national pattern for "third round" booeto. Assuming that he would settle for 12 cents, that would add another 84 cents a day to the miner's pay. Then, operators believe he wants the miners' welfsre royalty Increased from the present 10 to 20 or 30 cents a ton. If the increase finally agreed upon is 10 cents a ton. the operators figure ft would add 50 cents a day more to the miner’s wage. Altogether, the way the operators calculate, that would be an increase of 52.97 per miner per day. And some operators sre doubtful whether Lewis would settle even for that. Mst year's settlement amounted to a raise of slightly more than 13.50 per day As part of Ills (’peace” price Lewis is also expected to Insist upon the resignation of Ears Van Horn as operator trustee of the union welfare and retirement fund. Van Horn has blocked payments from the $40,000,0<*0 fluid by a series of legal actions Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough ruled Tuesday that miners' pensions can be paid from this fund by a majority vote of the three trustees. Lewis and Sen. Stayies Bridges, R.. N. H.. the other trustees, already have approved the payments.

Rules Marine Union In Law Violation Toft-HorHey Low Violation Charged Washington. June 14—(L’P) — A national lalior relations board trial examiner ruled today the National Maritime Union (CIO) violated the Taft-Hartley act by insisting on a anion hiring hall in Ns dealings with four Orest Lakes shipping companies. It was the first ruling by a board agent on the legality of the union hiring hall—the chief issue in the current coast wise mart* tune dispute The trial examiner, Howard Myers, said the hiring hall clause demanded by the union on the Creat Lakes "Is clearly repugnant to the (Taft-Hartley) art." Under the hiring hall system which is used by moat maritime unions, the unions supply crews to the ship owners. Myers accused the union and seven of its top officers of bargaining la bad faith with |be four companies. He asked the full five-man labor board to uphold his findings and outlaw the hiring ha:l on the Great Lakes. If Myers' ruling is not contented by the parties within IQ days. It automatically will have rae effect of a court order. Labor board officials made it eleer that Myers’ present rallaff applies only to the NMU sad the four companies Involved ta today’s case.

In the nationwide maritime dispute. the shipping companies have contended—as Myers ruled today that the hiring hall violates the Taft Hartley act. The unions have insisted it did not, and negotiations tor new maritime agreements stalled for many months because the two sides could not get together on this point. The Grea( Lakes case Involves about 170 seamen and the Texas Co., New York; Cleveland Tankers, Inc., Cleveland; iuike Tankers Corp.. New York, and the Great Lakes Transport Corp., Detroit.
