If President Truman doesn't want the White House job after 1952. his popularity in Legion circles would almost assure his election as National Commander. o o No wonder the Army and Notre Dame decided to cancel their annual football games Both great schools were bounded for tickets and It has been revealed in the Hunt Investigation that General Vaughan was asked to help get tickets for the big classic Ten million other Americans were asking for the same thing in 1947. The passing of counterfeit 11<> and 320 bills has struck Indianapolis. The United States Secret Service states that the bills are "almost perfect." even showing the new balcony on the White House. The dark printing on the back of th* bill is what the Secret Service says you should look for. because the ink used by the forgers Isn't Unde Sam * brand o o It seems that James V Hunt, the “five per cent" salesman in Washington, had friend* among leaders in both parties. Newspaper reporters were given a look into his office and found photographs of Senator Capehart and Congressman Halleck, along with a stack of other congressional leaders, Democrat* and Republicans. Hunt may have used "Influence" to get orders for his firms, and we are not saying that his hands are clean, but on the whole there seems to be a lot of fuss over a matter that has not been proved criminal. o o The Berne Witness Is always critical of Democratic legislation, but currently it says a good word for the school lunch program, which will be inaugurated in the Berne-French township consolidated school with the opening of the fall term next week. The lunch program is subsidised by the federal government, which brings the cost of a hot meal down to a very nominal consideration The popularity of the government program is further attested In the fact that It will be used in other schools in the county, it the law aids children, it can't be wrong

Stubborn Type Os Ringworm

By Herman N. Bundesen. M.O. Ringworm In a fungus parasite which may affect the akin in any \ part of the body, but nowhere is It more difficult to get rid of. once it becomes entrenched, than in the nails of the hands or feet Thickness of the nail tissue, plus the fact that most drag* cannot penetrate it readily, make fungi established in these locations almost Impervious u> attack Since this type of ringworm often causes marked deformity of Ute nails and may even result In their permanent loss, word of a new and more auccessfnl treatment than wv have had in the past comes as a boon to many people ft to described by Dre. White and Hickerson, and its success is due to the fact that the substance used — ammonlacal stiver nitrate — is capeble not only of killing the fungi but of penetrating the nails. In carrying out the treatment, the affected area was painted once ■ week with the solution fust described and allowed to dry. The treated nail tame very Hack- However. ae the new nail grows tn. it Is free from infection and the line between the treated nail and the new nail is clearly ladlcatsd by the dark color of the damaged nail It was posMbls to toil whether the pel lent who cured by the appear -sc- st the Mi’s <*M ‘tos absence g

U will be ten years ago tomorrow that Hitler started World War II by invading Poland Hi* boast that he would build an em plre that would last a thousand years hardly dried on paper, until he was swept from the s< ene and hl* country was laid in ruin If France and England had been more adequately prepared. Hitler would not have started hl* invasion that ended so disastrously Had it not been for the United States, the Nails would have been successful Even though we now have the Russian* to worry about, the stand has been made in the cause of freedom and hu man rights and the world may enjoy a better state of afaflrs tn the years to come. o —o With another record crop of corn about to be harvested in Indiana and other corn growing states. L. M Vogler, of the Federal Production and Marketing Administration, explains that farmers will have to vote on restricting the acreage to be planted next year. The government now ha* 21.000.900 bushel* of Indiana's 1948 corn crop and the current harvest Is expected to add another 30 million bushels to the surplus But. if 1950 is a drought year the nation will be glad to have storage blns filled, so that hogs can be fattened out and shipped to market. As has been stated numerous times, one of the worries in this country I* to keep a balance in price, regard less of the farm surplus. o o Spreading Income The state-by-state averages of individual income in 1948 have been announced by the Depart ment of Commerce, and it is not surprising to note that in almost all state* the average figure was higher than ever before There are some very large changes from the previous year; the Department say* these are largely due to changes In farm income The Department cited some examples. New England individual income was 23 per cent higher than the national average in 1929, but only 6 per cent higher in 1948 The Northwest was 21 per cent below the national average In 1929. but was up to the average figure last year The Southeast climbed from 49 per cent below the national average to 32 per cent below Thu* some wide sectional dis ferences in relative wealth and prosperity still exist, but they are shrinking year by year Dispersion of the industries once concentrated in certain areas, creation of new industries which are adaptable to areas once non industrial, and general improvement of agriculture all contribute to this levellag process. It is an excellent thing for the future economic health of the nation. and the trend should be helped and encouraged.

Sixteen patients were recently treated; all responded quite favorably; nine were cured Seven others were definitely improved. There was no noticeable reaction to the treatment in any case. It was noted that In some patients pain appeared which lasted for an hour following treatmen' but in no case was the pain severe enough to make It necessary to stop the treatment. Other methods used against this condition include X-ray and sometimes the removal of the affected nail, followed by treatment with larlotu ointments effective In ring-worm of the skin Neither has proved to be particularly successful. and ringworm Infection of the nails has been considered a more or less Incurable disorder. In view of the large number of curoo reported from ammonlacal silver nitrate. It would seem that! it is well worth trying by those who have this condition. Questions and Answers J.

CHAPTER~EIGHT Today Alessandro wore a suit of black velvet, designed tor riding. His polished boots reflected the sunlight, his coat fitted him snugly across the shoulders, and he looked so cool and self-contained that the sight of him whetted the irritation of Jasper Fogg. It was with studied intent, then, that the lawyer did not instantly broach the reason for his visit “I was up here last night,*' Fogg said. "The lights were burning, but nobody answered the door." "1 rode out to the ranch just before the storm," Alessandro said and waved Fogg to a high-backed chair. "The rounds are getting fat and iar.y from lack of exercise. Do you suppose there's still another grissly to be flushed out of the Tumblerocks?” "1 don’t know," Fogg snapped wai piahiy and eyed the wine decanter on Alessandro's desk. "Sheriff Busby's not complaining for lack of the kind ot game he hunts. He bagged two of those escaped convicts this morning." Alessandro's Interest was a study in bored politeness. ‘That should make Frank very happy," he said. "He’s had an empty jail for

quite a while,” Fogg observed. "Now he has a pair of important prisoners. There was a posse tn town from Deer I-odge early thio morning, but they'd given up the hunt They all headed south except the man who was leading them. He's a prison guard named Strunk. I think your hounds could take lessons from him. Seton. Only Strunk's strain runs more to bulldog from the look of him." "Busby turning the prisoners over to him?” "Strunk's gone. Left his own horse at the livery, rented a fresh cayuse and lit out again before the capture.” Alessandro's boredom was beginning to show tn a certain restlessness that ran through him "Frank shouldn't need any advice tn a case of thia kind.” he said. Tm not so sure.” Fogg continued. "I'm the one who was responsible for the arrest. One of the bank cashiers came bustling over to my ofßce less than half an hour ago. The youngster was all excited, claiming a couple of sus-picious-acting gents had come to his window When he told me about the matter. ! took him to toe sheriff. We begged the pair of them without a gunshot Th-e JWJ and Frank split the glory." Alessandro said and yawned. "There should be enough • to jo uou»4' r

By telephone or informal note.

"Oh, sure," Fogg agreed. Then: i "Those fellows were trying to cash i an ace of spades, Seton.” I He jarred Alessandro with that; i he could see it in the way the man stiffened, and Fogg’s unholy de- I light almost expressed itself in a < smile. i "An ace 0/ spades.’” Alessandro 1 echoed. "You mean they were try- ' ing a bit of blackmail?" "That seemed to be the Idea" 1 "Have they talked since they I were arrested ?* 1 "The old coot, Bam McAllister, 1 has been doing some singing since I he got put in a cell, but not the I kind to worry you, Seton. The other one, Ute Kincade, wanted a 1 word with you at first But he's 1 stayed sullen and silent since then.” “There were three," Alessandro said. “I've been following the account in the papera What about the other—that young Halliday kid?" Fogg shrugged. "He wasn’t with them.” Alessandro frowned darkly and began drumming on the desk top with his finger tips, a nervous, thoughtful tattoo. "There was that other fellow, several years ago," he said. "What was his name? Gopher Joe Gravelly. I should have put a bullet into him, but 1 bought him off instead. He drifted away just about the time I'd decided to quit humoring him. But he died in Deer Dodge; we know that And now there’s another , flashing aces of spades around." 'The answer is obviously simple." Fogg observed. "Gravelly and Ute Kincade were in the pen > at the same time. Gravelly doubt-

less told Kincade about his little blackmailing business. Kincade, free and finding himself tn the Tumblerock country, thought he'd try his hand at IL" "But if Kincade knows, how many others did Gravelly teU as well?" Fogg hoisted his shoulders again. "Probably no one. It’s Mt the kind of secret a man sows to the four winds." Alessandro came out of his chair and began a nervous crossing and recroesing of the room. "Now tliis!” he exclaimed explosively. "Why do troubles have to gather all at once? Look at that situation in Forlorn Valley. Clark Rayburn’s getting harder to manage every day. and it’s all I can do to keep him from kicking over the traces We've had a sweet thing there. Fogg: doing business for the Forlorners bags us money coming and going. But I tell you it won’t work if Rayburn doesn’t manage things Inside the valley. And now , this jailbird shows up. flashing cards and trying to shoot off his i mouth. 1 tell you. Fogg. I have a 1 feeling that the walls are begini rung to totter all around me!" "You’ll find away to bolster them up." Fogg sad placidly. Aleseandro ceased his restless I pacing and fixed a hard and penei testing stare upon Jasper Fogg. “Tea," Alessandro eaiA Til find

away. As y«.u leave, can Colo* rado Jack Ivea and send mm to* me. He's probably down al ths stable." Thus curtly dismissed, Jasper Fogg shuffled out of the room, casting one last longing look at the wine decanter but winning no nod of approval from Alessandro. The lawyer gone, Alessandro seat* cd himself at the desk once more, placed bis fingertips together above the polished surface and fell to thinking, his velvety eyes far away and fathomless. He was like this when a cat-like tread aroused him many minutes late.-, and he looked up to see a broad-shoul-dered man In range garb standing in the doorway. "Oh, come in, Colorado,” he invited. "I've got a job for you.” This Colorado Jack Ivea was one of those men who are ageless. Good-looking in a weathered sort ot way, be wore a close-clipped moustache, and when he thumbed back hla sombrero, he revealed a feather of gray along the edge ot his blue-black hair. A man unschooled in the hiding of his emotions. he frowned darkly as he advanced to seat himself. Tipping the wine decanter, he sloshed a glass full and downed it "Well, what is it now?" be demanded. Alessandro studied him reflectively before speaking. Then, without prelude, he said, "Frank Busby jailed two of those escaped convicts today. Bingin’ Sam McAllister and Ute Kineade. A prison guard named Tate Strunk is roaming the hills and will doubtless be back soon to claim those prisoners. Before Strunk gets here, I want the two of them lynched."

Colorado Jatk snapped his fingers. -Just like that, eh?” "You’ll know how to arrange it," Alessandro said. "A little free liquor at the saloons A little talk about what a pair of murderous skunks they are. You can prepare yourself by reading the newspaper accounts, if you like. Ute Kincade was serving a life sentence for murder, as I remember it He’s got a hanging coming to him. McAllister is another story; he appears to be an old fool who let his boos' kid lead him into trouble But once you’ve got a mob worked up. they won’t take time to separate the gray from the black. It’s Kincade I want dangling. Colorado But McAllister happens to know what Kincade knows. I’d guess, so he’s got to die too." Ives came to a stand, his mouth drawn tight and straight “And what would you say If I told you I won’t do it?" Alessandro smiled. "You’re getting hard to manage too. Jack." be said. "Can it be that the foremanship of my ranch has loot Rs appeal for you? Am 1 to presume that you’d rather be tn Forlorn Valley than enjoying the comparative freedom that I allow you?” Ives said, "O.K. You’ve got me pinned to a card, aad you'd like to see me squirming. You wool, mister." (Ta Be Coatinwsi)
