Dame nature cast a fair smile on the purchaser this year. With the late spring frosts killing or slowing down most of the southern crop of watermelons, the nation finds itself with an abundance of melons never before known. The southern crop ripened at the same time as our northern one and as a result, the present price is one of the cheapest in years.

The Prime Minister of Burma has sent Unde Sam a check for 15,000 on behalf of his country. That will ease matters considerably as some financial wissard has figured it will almost pay the governments running expenses for about one-quarter of a second. 0 o The big conference of world leaders is on and the heads of the greatest nations have a job to do. We hope they really get things started and that the meetings will result in the greatest peace settlement ever made but it's a “whopper” of a task, with much depending on the sincerity and cooperation of Russia. 0 0I— —— Automobile speed on Decatur streets has slowed down materially since the installation of speed timers by the police department Numerous arrests have been made and so far no discrimination has been shown. Speeders have been arrested, after having received several weeks of warning. We believe that this is a forward step in solving the automobile accident problem. Chief of police James Borders and his patrolmen are to be congratulated on their work of the last ten days In helping with the "slow down and live” campaign. —_o o One of the nearby vacation spots that doesn’t get too much publicity is Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. A wonderful hotel is right in the park and if you’ve ever roamed through the cool beauty of these underground passages, it’s a visit you’ll never forget. Trips ranging from one and one-half hours to an all-day eight-hour hike are available. Any one going is advised to take along a sweater or light jacket Regardless of the outside temperature, the caves never get much above fifty-five degrees. Besides the caves themselves. with seven different levels, there are tennis courts and boat trips on the , lovely Green River as added attractions. One of the highlights for any couple is a moon-light trip on the river.

No; if one has antered a lengthy conservation, it is much better to lay the fork on the plate while talking. Os course, this does not mean that one must lay the fork down quickly for each “yes” or “no.” Q. If a man and woman are walking together during a rain, and both have umbrellas, shouldeach one use his own umbrella? A. This might prove awkward. It would be much better if both were to walk under the man’s larger umbrella. Q. At a widow's second marriage, her first husband being deceased, should she invite the family of her first husband? A. Yes, indeed, if the relationship has always been pleasant. And furthermore, these people should make every effort to attend. h U Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE 1 0 — 0 The Food Chopper If the food chopper is dull it can be sharpened by running a piece of sandsoap through it, just as though the soap were food.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN CAMERON rode home to Double Diamond, fixed his own supper and wrote a Tetter to a friend in Dodge City. The way things were shaping up, he'd soon be needing help of a certain kind. Christie hadn’t been wrong in sizing him up as a man who didn't scare easily, but he didn’t gamble for fun, and he hadn’t gone to all the trouble of setting up this hand with any idea of not being alive to cash in. By the time he’d finished his letter, it was dark. He saddled up and rode by a roundabout back way to the ramshackle cabin at the edge of the nester settlement. Lita was wearing the rose-pink dress she'd worn to the dance — the dress Rob Mallory’s money had paid for. Cameron let the thought twitch his lips i» a spare smile before he turned to the old man. •’Sure thing, Wayne. Anything you say. You're all right—you’re m’ frien', Wayne—l won't never fergit that—” “You bet you won’t,” Cameron said drily. “I may want you to earn your liquor soon.” “Sures’ thing you know, Wayne. Ain’t I always done ever-thing you tol’ me? Jcs’ you name it—you’re m’ frien’ —” Watching him shamble out the dodr, Cameron creased his thin lip and asked, “You sure you can sober him up when I need him?” “Sure I can. Ain’t I always? Jos’ you leave pap to me. Never mind him.” She moved before him, spreading out her arms in a little peacocking gesture. "Ain’t we got nothin’ better to think about?” He took her in his arms and gave her the long kiss she expected. Her lips siting hotly to his; her body quivered to his touch. He reflected, with a brief, painless regret, that it was too bad in a way he was nearly through with Lita. "Hopey," she murmured, “you ain’t been near me in so long.” “You know I can’t be seen cornin' here. It might make talk.” “You scared that stuck-up Christie Toland might hear it?” He allowed impatience to edge his voice. “We’ve been through this before, Lita. You know I got to be a cattleman playin’ along all the way with cattlemen, till the pay-off.” He softened his tone. “You want me to be rich and buy you- silk dresses an’ ear-rings, den t you?” *

The meeting was then adjourned and a party with girls of the Washington Happy Hustlers 4-H club, was held. The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 26, at the home of Bud Fisher.

“Sure." "Then you keep on helpin’ me like you been doin’, an’ don’t get fidgety.” He gave her a playful shake, kissed her again and stepped back from her. “Got any news for me?” “No. Nobody’s been around since Tim got hurt” “You better go see him tomorrow. Don’t want him to think you’re not worried about him.” "Awright, but I’m gettin’ awful tired of him, the big clumsy clodhopper.” She pouted. “Wish Kerry Riordan’d come back. He was fun sometimes." “Just as well he’s gone, then," he smiled, swallowing a dry chuckle at the clumsy maneuver to rouse his jealousy. He guessed Lita must really like him in her way _she was so much less shrewd with him than with other men. Well, when this play had come off, Kerry Riordan was welcome to her, but till then he’d have to keep her happy. He squeezed her shoulder, and she dimpled at him, her petulance forgotten. “Anything you want I should tell Tim?” “Just stir him up a little if he needs it I don’t reckon he will." “Shall I say Rob Mallory’s been here again ? Shall I say he was braggin’ bout what he was goin’ t’ do to Tim for gunnin’ that bigmouth’ Art Graves?” "Use your judgement. No need to spread it on too thick. He’ll be worried enough.” Cameron scowled. “I can’t figure why Mallory didn’t finish him off. But it’s just as well. If he had, the others might’ve got cold feet. This way, they’ll stew in their own juice, worryin’ about what he’s goin’ to do, till worry crowds Jiem into a play. Once they’re started, they'll have to go on till they’ve smashed, Mallory.” . .... , y>. “Or he's smashed them,” Lita objected shrewdly. “He must be purty tough.” “He’s not bullet-proof.

Tim tossed in the feverish pain of his wound, and in the other, Mrs. Larrabee’ her frail body propped high on pillows, struggled for breath. Joe lay beside her suffering with her at each rasping, painful intake. Her hand lay in his, such a slight shell of skin over her bones that the worn wedding ring hung loose on her finger, and Joe found himself thinking of the handsome, laughing, black-haired girl she’d been when he slipped it on twenty-five years ago. She hadn’t wanted to leave the old country, he knew, but she’d come with him and never complained. She’d feeen a lf ood him ’ his Molly, a good mother, and now she lay gasping her life out in a shack on the prairie, far from the green hills she loved and the soft speech of her own '-ind.

Bishop Tells Os Six Years In Red China

(Editor’ Note: BULop Frederick A. Donaghy, a native of New Bedford, Maas., went to China in 1929 a* a Roman Catholic Maryknoll mlssioner. He was head of the diocese at Wuchow, Ln south China, 20 years later when the Communists took over the county. Bishop Donaghy spent five months in a Red jail and lived under the Red heel until he was tried and expelled by the Communists in June. In the series of articles starting below, written expressly for International News Service, Bishop Donaghy provides an unusually perceptive and up to date look at Communism in action. It is a scries filled with stark first hand evidence of Red brutality and also with pathos, humor and tragedy. By BISHOP FREDERICK A. DONAGHY, M. M. (Written Expressly for I. N. S.j (Copyright. 1955, by I. N. S.) Wuchow is an old Chinese city of dose to a quarter of a million people, located at the confluence of the Fu and West rivers in south China. It is the headquarters for the Maryknoll Wuchow Mission, embracing a large area of Kwangs! province. I had gone to China in 1929, ■working in the Kaying diocese of Bishop Francis X. Ford, who later died in a Communist prison in Canton. In 1939 I returned to the United States* to be consecrated bishop of Wuchow. My consecration took place in Fall Riyer, Mass., and shortly after it I went back to China. During my short stay in America. the Japanese had invaded south China. Canton and Nanning had fallen, and I had to enter my diocese byway of a tedious overland journey from French controlled Kwanchowan. With the war at our doorstep, the city of Wochow was a constant target of Japanese air attacks. During and after the war the church was able to help many people through relief and medical ■work. The people appreciated the efforts of the priests to remain with them despite the constant threat of capture. In the last year before the Communists, we had 5,000 converts in the diocese of Wuchow. He had just opened the mission of Shumkai, where a large movement toward Christianity was in progress. All told, we have 14 central missions in the diocese, staffed by American or Chinese priests. The year 1949 was a year that we lived under the threat of Communist invasion. The Communist armies were restlessly poised on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, waiting for command to swoop into south China. Reports of the brutal treatment the Red soldiers had meted out to Chinese and foreign missioners alike in the north had reached us. We made what futile preparations we thought necessary for the day they would arrive. Resistance had seeped out of the Chinese people duringj-he grinding years of World War 11. Communism had infiltrated into the south and further sapped the waning strength of the government forces. .’ There was only a token defense of the south when the “liberation army” arrived in Wuchow late in 1949. The political arm of the new government went into power as soon as the armies had passed through the city. At first they were benign. They made big promises. They told the people that they had been given their freedom. There were to be no restrictions on the foreigners or on the church. It was a period, a very short lived period, of hope. Many people were deceived by the new attitude of the Communist government. Actually the Reds Were following a blueprint. They had benefited by the experience of Russia, and by the mistakes they had made in north China. There was no abrupt change to Communist tactics: the pressure of the tourniquet was very gradually applied. Only when their control was absolute did the Reds show their true hand. In doctrinatibn in the new theories began w'thin a few weeks. I! was obligatory on everyone. Groups were brought to Wuchow for instruction from outlying villages. They were then sent to act as instructors. and other groups were brought in. Communists from the north guided the courses of instruction and indoctrination. (Gradually the power of Communism began to be felt. People began to jnouth the phrases they had heard in their indoctrination. Discipline was slowly tightened. A powerful baud was gulling peoples’ actions and thoughts. The once carefree Chinese were not free to come and go as they wished. Like creeping paralysis, the new thinking made over tbe lives of the Chinese. The change was as slow as it was deliberate. The people were still lulled by the sense of false security. The people are not made aware of what is happening until “they have been robbed of their power to resist. Tbe whole process is based on promises made to the

“maases”-promiseß that never are Intended to be kept. ■ For example, in Wuchow the teachers were won over by being promised an increase in salary. The Reds promised to double their pay. Actually when control was secured the teachers found their salary was reduced by two thirds. DistUlusionment has set in, but now it is too late. If the Nationalists returned to China today, they would find whole hearted cooperation from the teaching groups and many other classes. Government workers are particularly disillusioned in the matter of salary, besides being fed up'YrtTfi'‘ constant indoctrinations. After five years of Communism the people have no Illusions left. There is a certain amount of despair now, and they hope for another liberating army to come to save them. This latter hope is very strong. I (Next: Land reform and manmade famine.)
