Statistics reveal that today, ’•very baby Is born in the United States owing, the governing sl,939. That isn’t too bad when we go over our unpaid Christmas bills. q o Economic experts and manufacturing researchers state that the vnlumn of business in this nation will continue to be high, but “** profit. wtll be reduced be-, cause of competition and high Wages. 0 Exit Anthony Eden from the top spot of the British government. Apparently he guessed t wrong and failed to feel the real pulse of the people of his country. The change in the rule of the English, probably will bring friendlier relations between the United States and Great Britain, where unfriendly relations have built up for some months. • ' o Final days of money-saving sales are now being advertised by Decatur merchants. Shoppers of the Decatur area are urged to take a quick inventory of their needs and take advantage of the maijy money saving offerings. You will soon discover that you’ll get better values from Decatur merchants, and every dollar spent in Adams county means a better Adams county. o o—— American people are good givers.

With the memory of the mild October and November weather we enjoyed, we now can sit by the fireplace and dream. Roads and streets are pretty slippery, but a minimum of auto mishaps have been reported, which leads us to believe that the constant drumming to "drive carefully'* finally pays off. f —o- o Some twenty years ago, there was grave fear that the chain store woul<J “ eat U P” the independent business man. Many states even passed drastic laws in an effort to curb the growth of toe various “Chains.” Today we see how wrong we were. Actually, the Independent merchant - is stronger than ever and he daily learns beneficial merchandising from his “chain" competitor. He has learned that attractive packaging, advertising. • * clean store and efficient help are "musts'* in his business if he is to succeed. People also have profited from chain stores because of competitive prices. So it seems that everyone has benefited from the once universal scare of the “Chain Stores.” ——o o With the usual formality, the Indiana General Assembly opened its sixty-one day session in Indianapolis yesterday. The Legislators will be faced with many problems, including methods ot curbing the ever mounting cost of government, on the one hand and the always present demand of county officials for higher salaries and more money with which to operate their offices. Assemblymen usually manage enough compromises with the lobbyists and the people which they are supposed to serve, that at the close of the session, they can return home via the front road. Republicans will encounter little trouble passing the laws they want, because of the top-heavy majorities they have in both Houses. Therefore, total responsibility will rest with the G.O.P.

CHAPTER 15 CASSON sat down on the arm of a chair. “Bagot blackmailed a man Before you,” he said quietly, “and that man banked at Gamman's. As a matter of incidental interest he committed suicide." Lockyer's mouth twitched. "Your own affairs," Casson continued, "are known in Gamman's, especially the secret of your welfare project. You have identified the Bagot Who blackmailed you, and that same Bagot is a friend oilman who works in your bank." Lockyer shrugged. "Coincidence." “Bagot is going to blackmail another man some time this week,” Casson went on. “I will bet you a pound that the new victim banks at Gamman’s." "YoU know who this Bagot is?” • "Oh, yes,” Casson replied. L Lockyer opened his mouth, shut it again, then asked: "Who is his friend in my bank?" "A young man named Macfarlane." “What?” Casson was surprised by the force of the response. "Say that again." “Macfarlane. One of the cashiers." “Jim Macfarlane," Lockyer breathed the words. "It can’t be. I won’t believe IL” "Why not?” “He’s a fine young fellow. Very promising." "Well, there it is,” Casson said, rising to his feet and putting the photograph of Bagot back into its covering. “I suppose you wouldn't give me Macfarlane's particulars ?’’ "Certainly not. I’m a banker.” "Your bank will look a bit shamefaced if one of its cashiers is cited in court as an accessory to blackmail." Slowly, carefully, Lockyer sat 1 down. • ■ ... —. •< “Very well,” he said at length. 1 "But you understand that I will in no way be brought publicly into this affair?” "1 understand.” "Right" He rose to his feet "Perhaps you would also ree if | your bank knpws anything about , a man called John Perry?” Caston suggested. "Perry? Why? I’ve never heard of him.” ; -Xou’ve met him.” ’• J

“Pernrr bunt recollect me fellow.” VV, 7 "You know Hirn “Oh.” Casson. "Oh,” he “1 have an idea that he -may have been connected with use bank," Casson observed.:! “Mind you, it’s a long shot." : r ■ "Perry. Very well.” pjekyer went straight out of the room and Casa>n followed him. Lie banker got into his taxi without another word and was driven/off, Casson ‘{poked after him, for the first tiHie feeling as sorry for the man as he would feel for any animal caught in a spring trap. He himself went to Montpelier Square. He would be there oy eleven and safely ensconced long before Perry should arrive. Jj With the key sent him by Nigel Willington, he let himself into the black, wooden shed m the gardens. A taxi came, deposited a passenger and two suitcases, and drove away. A young nurse wheeled out a full and squalling pram. Women went out .shopping. Montpelier Square was normal: except for Bagot. There was no Bagot. Casson grew more and more restless. Surely Bagot would watch his prey until the moment when he chose to pounce? Surely he would watch and watch and watch? Then where was he? He did not appear at all, and when Casson returned to his fiat at six he was in a high temper. Strutt was sitting in the library, reading a book. "What do you want ?” said Casson. "A free drink?” "Yes.’’What-Was Bagot doing at Brighton?" Casson rounded on him. "What?" - "He spent the day at Brighton." “How do you know?" “We put a man on to him at dawn this morning." "Yoti bulging cheat," said Casson. ■ Strutt chuckled. “Can't be too sure," he remarked. "The louse nipped off to Brighton this morning. Took a room at a hotel. Spent the day in his room. Had no. lunch. Got back to town an hour ago. What did he do? Why did he do it?” Casson shrugged. ‘‘Sea air.” "Sea air my Aunt Twitch." Strutt .snorted and got up out of his chair. “So long, boy.

Does the invitation to a church wedding request the “honour of your presence,” or the “pleasure of your company"? A. This type of invitation always requests the “honour of your presence.” The invitation to the reception requests “the pleasure of your company." Remember, “honour" is spelled on these invitations in the old-fashioned way, with a “u.”\ Q. Would it be all right to write a note of condolence to the parents of a friend who has died, even when one does not know the parents? A. This most certainly would be «a thoughtful act on your part. ; Q. When a girl is with her escort at the table in a nightclub, fend she wishes to leave to go to foie powder room, what should Mhe say? P A. '"Will you excuse me,’* is sufficient.

She , seemed to hesitate, gave another look back, and went on. As they turned the corner of the Square, Casson ran for the gate. He let himself out and sprinted down the pavement Before the corner he slowed and strolled sedately into Montpelier Street » Perry had just hailed a cruis- ; ing cab. It squealed to a stop and the pair climbed in. As it turned into the Brompton Road, Casson ran again. There was no taxi on the rank. He ran on into the Brompton Road, signalling ■ taxi after taxi, They were all taken. He shrugged and gave It up The other cab was well out oi sight He had no hope of following it Bagqt had pounced and Casson had failed to net him.
