Sen ator McGrath named the "workers" by name and contends that the Hatch Act should he amended to cover state house employes from running political campagins. No wonder New York i« without efficient government these days. o o The proverbial sturdy virtues of the Dutch people are laying the groundwork for an early recovery from war-made conditions. Industry. especially, has done well, production having reached a point above the 1938 mark. Steel has doubled its pre-war output Rationing and other restrictions are accepted as necessary evils, with the ultimate aim of a free enterprise system. The ten percent of the arable land which was inundated by salt water has taken three years to reclaim, but is now under cultivation. Like every other country in Europe, however, Holland faces the fact that exports must reach a point much higher than the pre-war level. ——o—- o— — Edward H. Kruse.

Watkins is publisher of the Bloomfield paper and a veteran of both wars. He posesses extraordinary leadership and Is equally capable of filing the highest office in the state. Mr. Kruse is a leading attorney, trained and experienced in public affairs and would give the Fourth district a new brand of service if sent to Washington. The Adams county friends of the two men are going to help them with their votes on election day. The gift of 10.7 acres of land 1 In the McMillen farm porth of the city as a site for the city's proposed sewage disposal plant means more to Decatur than the saving In land purchase, While su< h a tract of land, as choice as a center slice from a cake, has a high monetary value, its location is even more highly appreciated Above flood level, the tract will be easily accessible from old I". S. highway 27. It is a logical point for bringing the intercepter sewers from the south' and northwest to the treatment plant, city officials declare. Its location at this site will mean further savings in construction costs. The gift was made by Dale W. McMillet, founder and board chairman of Central Soya Company, and is further proof of that individual's stimulating in terest in city problems and local public improvements.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE "YOU SEE," Spence pointetrout to Poirot, “there's no one in Warmsley Vale who coulo possibly have a motive— unless by a coincidence someone is living here (other than the Hunters) who had a connection with Underhay in the past 1 never rule out coincidence, but there hasn't been a hint or suggestion of anything of the kind. The man was a stranger to everyone but that brother and sister." Poirot nodded. "To the Cloade family Robert Underhay would be the apple of their eye to be kept alive by every possible precaution. Robert Underhay. alive and kicking, means the certainty of a large fortune divided amongst them." “Again, mon ami, I agree with you enthusiastically. Robert Underhay, alive and kicking, is what the Cloade family needs. "So back we come—Rosaleen and David Hunter are the only two people who have a motive. Rosaleen Cloade was in London. But David, we know, was in Warmsley Vale that day. He arrived at 5:30 at Warmsley Heath station." "So now we have Motive, written very big, and the fact that at 5:30 and onward to some unspecified time, he was on the spot." "Exactly. Now take Beatrice Idppincott’s story. I believe that story. She overheard what she says she overheard, though she may have gingered it up a little, as is only human." • Only human as you say." "Apart from knowing the girl, I Hblieve her because she couldn't have invented some of the thinga She’d never heard of Robert Underhay before, for instance. So I believe her story of what passed between the two mm and not David Hunter’s." "I. too." said Poirot. "She strikes me as a singularly truthful witness." “We’ve confirmation that her story is true. What do you suppose the brother and sister went off to London for?" •That is one of the things that has interested me most” "Well, the money position’s like thia. Rosaleen Cloade has only a life interest tn Gordon Cloades estate. She can’t touch the capital —except, 1 believe, for about a thousand pounds. But jewelry, etc., is hers. The first thing she did on going to town was to take some of the moot valuable pieces round to Bond BL and sell them. Bhe wanted a large sum of cash quickly—in other words she had to pay a blackmailer." "You call that evidence against David Hunter ?" "Don’t you?" Poirot shook his head. "Evidence that there was blackmail. yea. Evidence of intent to commit murder, no. You cannot have it both ways, smmi ml Either .that young man was going to pay

up, or else he was planning to kill, t You have produced evidence that i he was planning to pay." i “Yea—yea, perhaps that is so. But he may have changed his ■ mind." I Poirot shrugged his shoulders. “1 know hm type," said the Su- , penntendent thoughtfully. "It's a ’ type that’s done well during the war. Any amount of physical courage. Audacity and a reckless disregard of personal safety. The sort that will face any odds. It’s the . kind that is likely to win the V.C. ! —though, mind you, it’s often a ’ post-humous one. Yes. in wartime, a man like that is a hero. But in i peace—well, In peace such men usually end up in prison. They like excitement and they can’t run i straight, and they don’t give a hoot for society— And finally they’ve no regard for human life." Poirot nodded. i "I tell you." the Superintendent i repeated, “1 know the type." There was some few minutes of silence. "Eh blen,” said Poirot at last, i "We agree that we have here the type of a killer. But that is all It takes us no further." Spence looked at him with curiosity. "You’re taking a great Interest In this business, M. Poirot?" “Yea" • "Why, if I may ask ?" "Frankly," Poirot spread out his hands, "1 do not quite know. Perhaps it is because when two years ago, I am sitting very sick in my stomach (for I did not like Air Raids, and 1 am not very brave though 1 endeavor to put up the good appearance) when, as I say. I am sitting with a sick feeling I here," Poirot clasped his stomach expressively, "in the smoking room of my friend’s dub, there, droning i away, is the club bore, the good Major Porter, recounting a long history to which nobody listens: but me, I listen, because I am wishful to distract myself from the bombs, and because the facta he is relating seem to me interesting and suggestive. And 1 think to myself that it la possible that • someday something may come of i the situation he recounts. And now i something has come of it." "The unexpected has happened, i eh?" "On the contrary." Poirot cori reded him. "It is the expected ■ that has happened—which in itI self la sufficiently remarkable." > "You expected murder?” Spence asked skeptically. ’ i "No. no. no! But a wife remarries. Feasibility .hat first husband : is rtiil alive? He is alive. He may turn up? He does turn up! There may be blackmail. There is blackmail!

Kroger Company To Give Free Food In Line With Contests The Kroger company today made its bid for the title of America's contest headquarters. O. Tulia, manager of the Fort J Wayne unit, announced that the food company will give free food for a year to three winners in each of eight national contests being sponsored by well-known food and soap manufacturers. The 75 Kroger stores in this ar • | ea will set up special departments | to aid contest eutiants in securing ■ i blanks and contest information i The total amount of prizes Involv-1 ed in the eight contests is 1115.000 | ' In dash and merchandise. Three winners in each of the tight contests who write the dame and address of their Kro ( ger store on the back of their winning entry blanks will lie given 1 the food prizes. The decisions ot < the judges, based upon the rule* Os their respective contests, will | be final. I Following are the eight <contesU' .tied in with the Kroger plan: Par ■ key margarine <(50.000 In cars and ! appliances); Lipton tea (838,117 In cash); Quaker Oats (trip to Hollywood and a week with Roy Rogers); (.ever Bros.

type. It’s a common sort of crime - blackmail resulting in murder.’’ "Not interesting, you would say? Usually, no. But this case is interesting, because, you see,’’ said Poirot placidly, "it is all wrong.” "All wrong? What do you mean by all wrong?" "None of it is, how shall I put It, the right shape?" Bpence stared. "Chief Inspector Japp,” he remarked, "always said you have a | tortuous mind. Give ine an instance of what you call wrong?” "Well, the dead man, fur instance, he is all wrong." Spence shook his head. "You do not feel that?” Poirot asked. "Oh well, perhaps I am fanciful. Then take this point. Underhay arrives at the Stag. He writes to David Hunter. Huntei receives that letter the next morning—at breakfast time?” “Yes. that’s so. He admits receiving a letter from Arden then.’’ “That was the first intimation, was it not. of the arrival of Underftay in Warmsley Vale? What is the first thing ne does—bundles his sister off to London!" “That’s quite understandable." said Spence. "He wants a clear hand to deal with things his own way. He may have been afraid the woman would have teen weak. He’s the leading spirit, remember. Mrs Cloade is entirely under his thumb.” "Oh yes, that shows itself plainly. So he sends her to I-on don and calls on this Enoch Arden. We have a pretty clear account ot their conversation from Beatrice Lippincott, and the thing that sticks out. a mile, as you say. is that David Hunter was not sure whether the man he was talking to was Robert Underhay or not. He suspected it, but he dtdn t know." "But there’s nothing odd about that. M. Poirot. Rosaleen Hunter married Underhay in Capetown and went with him straight to Nigeria. Hunter and Underhay never met. Therefore though, as you say. Hunter suspected that Underhay was Underhay. he couldn’t know it for a fact—because he had never met the man " Poirot looked at Superintendent Spence thoughtfully." "So there is nothing there that strikes you as—peculiar ?" be asked. "1 know what you're driving at Why didn’t Underhay say straight out that he was Underhay? Well. 1 think that s understandable, 100 Respectable people who are doing something crooked like to preserve appearances. They like to put things in such away that It keeps them in the clear—if you know what 1 mean. No—l don't think that that Is so very remarkable.
