Th* projected North-South toll road tor Indiana is well into th* planning stag*. Those who would disagree with the Governor must remember that the new Seaway may make a major jort in northern Indian* aad a second major road could become a necessity. However, some other stats* can \ build free-ways while w* us* the toH system which could be with us forever. The answer again lies with the people of Indiana-toll reads or free-ways? No doubt the 1958 campaign will bring out thia issue and we can express ourselves at the polls come November. By the way, are you registered? If not. check with the county clerk and clarify any ques- s tion you may have. Do it soon! Now past the half way mark, the majors find one good race going on. The Yankees, who appear to be only an average team, ft are well out In front in the AtnerIcan. They stand out because of ‘ the lack of first class opposition and should win by fifteen games. +- The national league race will be a good chase down to the wire with four teams within reach of the pennant. We midwesterners lave aji outside chaaee to see another world series this year. Brooklyn seems to be fading so that leaves us with three teams which equid go all the way. Why the Soil Bank? This does pose an interesting question for business and agriculture alike. ... Deepite • prastocttoa.<rf' , tro!». tot.. many farms, surpluses have continued ’to rise. There is a need for greater conservation as well .as * stabilised control of produc- ‘ tion and it to hoped that th* »Mfsehl plan will make such provisions. Certainly there is a need to look to the future and the anticipated population increases will demand more foods, fibers and timbers. The plan will go into full effect in 1957 and suck a long-range program will need several 7 years’ operation before it can be given a fair test. Too. complete indoctrination will take some time so net results will be difficult to analyze. Older civilizations than ours have found this a baffling problem so let us give heed to the results, and be ready to change if this plan does not - hold the best for all concerned.

Both Jane and her husi band gave Vai a warm welcome and she felt immediately at home. As they drank cocktails out on the cool verandah. Jane deplored the fact that Dirk should be fly* Ing back to England so soon. “You haven't even started to gather material for your book,” she went on. “And John id as keen as mustard to do the illustrations. He has a number al* ready done. We'll show them to you after supper." “Anything fresh from England today, Dirk?" John asked. “I don’t want to be nosy, but I noticed there was a cable waiting • for you." — Dirk took a crumpled cablegram from his pocket and passed it across to him. John nodded and said, “Oh, so Mrs. Featherstone’s relatives have decided to drop the case. They were trying to prove undue influence, weren’t they?” “They were," Dirk agreed. “But I think they knew they hadn't a leg, to stand on. They would have had to prove undue influence by me at the actual moment Aunt May signed her last will, dnd at that time I was out jpiji getting material for my , Jane laughed and clapped her hands. “Then all the money is yours unconditionally, Dirk?

HOMEMAKING TIPS By DONNA BCHIEFERSTEIN A**L Home Agent "Muskmelon” is the proper n*m* for the group of melon* we cell cantaloupe, honeydew and honeyball. “Musk” is a Persian word tor a type of perfume, and since ripe melons often have * fragrant odor, it is easy to see how the name developed. Cantaloupe is rich in vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A. It is especially tow in calories, makiig a satisfying food for weight watchers. Th* quality of a melon is not easily detected, but there are tew indications which are fairly dependable. Th* best methods to use ar* eye* and nose test*. 1. A fragrant, sweet odor denotes ripeness. 2. A well developed netting should cover the cantaloupe thickly and stand out sharply. 3. The color of the skin beneath the netting is usually yellowtinged. Too deep a color may tndicate over-ripeness. Look for a sunken, calloused scar »t the stem end. This shows that the melon was mature when picked-termed full slip. There should be no trace of the stem itself Melons are best when ae’rvad cold. However, if ice is put in direct contact with the melon flesh, the flavor ia diluted. It is best to store them in the refigerator in waxed paper or plastic blags because the fragrant aroma will readily permeate other foods.

vtu got up a* noon alter a restless sleep and when she asked . about Cynthia she learned that She had been moved to her own home, accompanied by a private nurse, later that afternoon she Went down to the airport with the Carraways to say goodbye to Dirk. He drew her aside for a moment before he boarded the plane. “I’ll write to you directly I know how things are shaping up at home—and all the time Hl be waiting for you, praying you’ll come, darling," And then an official was shouting; “All aboard," and he took her in his arms and gave her a quick, tight hug. Then he was running up the gangway in the brilliant afternoon sunshine, the airplane doors were slammed shut, the gangway was wheeled away, and the plane rose in the air. Vai stood beside Jane and John and waved until the glint of the silver wings in the sunlight looked nd bigger than twin swords. Then there was nothing but a faint bright speck heading toward the Blue Mountains. • • • Vai saw little of Bruce during the following days. She gathered from the gossip which was as rife in the hospital as it had been on shipboard that Bruce was spending a great deal of time at the Feltons’ bungalow and rumor hart it that the handsome doctor had not only saved Cynthia’s life but that he was definitely interested. She was his patient, of course, but his visits to the professor's bungalow were very frequent Some little time after Dirk had left she met Bruce in the foyer Os the hospital. They were alone fW the moment. The nurse at the reception desk tad gone to lunch. “Hello, Vai I’ve been trying to see you for several days.” He seemed embaurassed. “You tad only to ask for me,” she pointed out quietly, . That’s just what I don’t want to do, Vai," ta said in a deep, worried voice. T tried to explain the situation the other day. Ma-. Iron Cameron -la htupsil ew th*

John Ringling North Closes Down Circus Cancels All Dates, No More Big Top PITTSBURGH (UP) — John Ringling North brought down the Big Top of the ‘'Greatest Show on Earth” early today for the last time. ■ 1 ’’ ‘ , Down with it tumbled a world of eicMement for small children. And lowering of the massive canvas tent symbolised the end of a golden era in the history of entertainment North doomed the big top of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Monday with the announcement that "the tented circus is a thing of the past.” He cancelled ail remaining dates for the season and said the show tn the future will be "an almost completely mechanically controlled exhibition.” Il win move indoors next year, into air-conditioned arenas. Only a small group of spectators had turned out for Monday's matinee performance. But after North’s dramatic and heart •> breaking announcement was made known crowds surged under the Big Top for the final night show. A feeling of nostalgia had spread through the city. Grown ups evoked nostalgic visions of small boys sneaking into the show under the most convenient tent flaps and trudging on wet sawdust past the big cat cages into the main arena. But Ringling’s words meant these days were gone forever. Many of the 10,000 spectators sat on the ground in front of the stands. Others stood on the sidelines. The final show was delayed for an hour and a half to allow spectators to push their way under the big top. The circus ended Its show with the usual glittering finale. Then the band played "Auld Lang Syne.” Ringmaster Al Tabor bid farewell to the audience at Pittsburgh and to those who. would have seen onenight stands across the nation. As the crowd shuffled out. roustabouts prepared to lower the 70-foot-high tent. Guy ropes were loosened, stakes pulled and the 21ton canvas that houses the fantasy land of the “Greatest Show on Earth” was folded and stored , COURT REWS _ , ~ Marriage Licenses “William Albert Nau, 22, Canton, 0., and Frances Wasik, 19, Canton.
