Someday they will make their last stand. 1 o O—--1 Along with expansion in the retail district comes announcement .1 of the opening of a new business, the Decatur Music House, which will deal exclusively in electric organs, pianos and musical instruments. Established by Adam Kunowich, local musician, the new store will formally open Saturday at its location on North Second street. i As a shopping center, Decatur eon- • 1 tinues to grow. I o 0 I Arbor Day will be observed in < April, which is a good time for spring planting of trees. Storms have played havoc with many of the beautiful maples in the citv I and around the court house square. An Arbor Day committee could launch a campaign for replacing these damaged trees and in a fewyears the effort would pay off in added beauty throughout the city. Let’s try it this year. o o Sixteen DeKalb county farmers plan to plant 7.200 trees this spring, in a reforestation program and as an effective means of combatting soil erosion. The idea sounds good and no doubt could be used to advantage in other counties in Indiana. State nurseries will furnish the saplings, which will supplant areas already denuded of trees and in time en-I

rich the owner and the county as a whole. Trees are wealth and if a forest reserve is established, . certain tax exemptions can be obtained for the areas. i o 0 Long before the doors are opened, the fans will assemble at the ; high school this evening for the sectional basketball opener, all anxious to see their favorite team compete for an advanced place in the tourney. It’s a colorful scene to witness. The crowd is tense, but in good humor. The high school bands give it a touch that only musk conveys and the youthful yell leaders add zest to the whole event. May everybody eni joy the big tourney and may the I finest of sportsmanship, both among the players and spectators be shown. o o— — Astonishing revelations are nowcoming out as to the achievements of spies. The top-notcher is the newly published career of Dr. Richard Sorge, holder of a Nazi party' card, who headed Russian espion-! age in Japan and discovered the; important fact that in 1941 Japan was not planning to attack Siberia, I but would direct her forces against . Indo-China. This enabled the Rus-' sians to use their Asiatic boundary armies against Germany. Sorge eventually was caught and hanged. i It is notable that youngsters these ■ 1 11 days do not want to become spies', in such numbers as in an earlier day. Perhaps spying is losing ( some of its glamor. -—o—o Presidential Travel: President Truman has broken the travel record held by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and, before ! l him, by President Taft. Since he became president, Mr. Truman has averaged 2,505 miles a month in journeys, compared with 2,447 for Roosevelt and 2,384 for Taft. , However, Mr. Roosevelt holds a 1 wide lead in total mileage. This record has a good deal in its favor. A president nowadays Is I not running away from his work when he leaves Washington. He | takes along a battery of secretar- ■ ics and other officials, and a mass I E of reports and bills. He stays with- ( in reach of the telegraph and the < telephone. Very little of his out- 1 ing can be considered as a vaca- * tion or even a rest. i , It does a president good, too, to •< see other parts of the country. * i < Washington is a poor place for . gauging publk sentiment. It was 1 not in Washington that President Truman learned that public senti- j ment favored his re-election. He .\ learned this by moving about tl\e ' United States, and keeping his | finger on the public pulse. i Stockholders Meet On Friday, March 4 |i * Berne, Feb. 24 — The annual stockholders' -meeting of the Berne ( Equity .Exchange company will be , held Friday evening. March 4, at

the Berne Auditorium. Officers will be elected and the annual premium paid.

Then bake in a hot oven for 20 I to 40 minutes, according to the con--1 tents of the pie. Flannels and Woolens Never rub soap directly on flannels and woolens. Wash them in soapy water and rinse in clqar, lukewarm water to preserve their soft texture. Vinegar Crust , Pour a little ammonia into the stained vinegar cruet, and give it a few shakes. Then a little hot water and some -more shaking will remove all traces of sediment. 0 0 I 20 YEARS AGO t I TOOAY o — 0 February 24, 1929 was Sunday.

Anna lonise Strong Denies Espionage Writer Deported By Russians In Denial New York, Feb. 24—(UP)— Anna Louise Strong, pro ■ Communist American writer kicked out of Russia as a "spy," denied today that she ever took part in "espionage or sabotage" against the Soviet Union "or any other state." The 64-year-old writer, who arrived here today, declared ttyat Russian authorities had mistaken her "energy as a newspaperwoman" for “spying.” However, she refused to denounce Soviet officials who deported hqr to Poland early this week. Instead she lambasted the 50 i eporters and photographers who met her plane at La Guardia airport for “'mistreating her worse than anyone did in Russia." Three FBI agents whisked Mrs. Strong from the airplane into the air terminal building upon her arrival. They questioned her in secret for three-quarters of an hour and handed her a subpena to testify before ‘ it Ne.v York grand jury investigating communism and espionage. “I have not done anything against the security of the Soviet state or any other state, either by espionage or by sabotage," the gray haired journalist declared. “However,-in the present tension

and war hysteria the function of a journalist may seem to be spying. 1 I was endeavoring with all my energy to do my job as a newspaper woman. They took it to be spying. If it so seemed to the state which is trying to protect itself, there is nothing J can do about it.”, After being cleared by customs and immigration authorities, Mrs. Strong left the airport for an unknown destination. The stewardess on the TWA plane, Adele E. Kaczowski, told reporters that Mrs. Strong had confided in her that she had fallen into difficulty with the Russian leaders because she wished to visit Cdmmunist China. “You see I had a little trouble with the Russian government," Miss Kaczkowski quoted Mrs. Strong. “I wanted to go to China through Siberia and they didn't want the road open. It wasn’t open and I didn’t know it.” Mrs. Strong was known as a strong supporter of Gen. Mao. Mrs. Strong refused to discuss what the FBI had questioned her about.
