Better get your lawn moweil ready for it won’t be long now I until you'll need it o——o— —- We’ve had almost a week now! of pretty good spring weatherfl and there are some predictions of more of the same. It’s sure] wonderful to have the sunshine and we all should enjoy it to the utmost —o —o— Baseball is beginning to take over in sports circles and many Decatur-fans have their opening day reservations. Others will wait for a few days until the openers are out of the way and the season settles down for the long summer grind. o o—— The Conservative party in the Canadian government won the recent election in that country by a landslide, biggest in Canadian history. The current depression was the main topic of speakers, but even the most hardened politicians didn’t predict such a landslide. ——o—o The President has vetoed the farm bill which should spell doom of any chances for the G. O. P. to carry congress. Many Republican leaders of the middle west begged the President to sign the measure but he stuck with the secretary of agriculture and vetoed the bill. It is not believed that there are sufficient votes to override the veto. o—o Lenten week services are planned by all Decatur Churches. St. Marys Catholic will hold its own services as will the Lutheran church. Others will join in a consolidated three hour service Friday from noon until 3 o’clock and each church will have its own Easter Day services.

Dean Bechtol, Democratic candidate for congress from the Fourth district, made his first visit to Adams, county this week since he announced his candidacy some time ago. The retired civil service employe from Garrett and past state, commander of the Legion said he planned a campaign which would take him over the entire district. Bechtol was very optimistic over the chances of a Democrat winning in this district and of the three he of course thinks he’s the man for the job. i o o Robert Peak, Milan attorney, has been found guilty of conspiracy in the Indiana highway scandal case. He is the second man to have been found guilty in the series of indictments involving purchase of highway rights of way by the state,, department. And it is very likely there will , be more. The little fellows all appear to be doomed but as to the real culprits, they may have the funds to eventually win their freedom. We hope not because it is bad for government. However, is is good for the Democrats. If we don't carry Indiana this year it might be a long time before we do. We have an excellent opportunity and only our lack of organization and bobling'of affairs can beat us.

a/ jr Ska •• V THE YOUNGER of two sons between whom a father divided his wealth left home for a foreign land and promptly squandered all hts share. Finding himself penniless, he returned home. "But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. "And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.” The father ordered his servants to provide his son with the finest of clothing and to kill the fatted calf for a feast. The elder son, hearing of the celebration for his wastrel brother, hurried to his father and protested, only to hear this reply: “. . . Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. "It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thjfjbrother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.” _ St Luke 15:11*32

CHAPTER 22 <' , JkRRY S eyes Followed Tom Jones as tie went out ot Nora's room carrying the breakfast tray. She turned to Nora as though about to ask a question and then changed her mind. She stripped the covers from the bed and turned the mattress, lips compressed. her color heightened. She was furiously angry but she didn’t intend to talk about IL Nora watched her as she worked. For nearly a year the nurse had taken care of her; given her, voluntarily and warmly, more care and attention and time than were required ot her. Ot course, that might be because of Nora’s wealth but she had believed that there was a genuine liking m the nurse’s attitude toward her. She had trusted her Implicitly. And she didn’t know her at all. Under that starched extenor, Garry nourished a passion for Howard Ives, who had. apparently, been in love with Candy. Hbw h»d Gamrtelt about the other girl who had been so lovely, against whose radiance her own buxom' vitality would have stood so tittle chance? How would I feel. Nora wondered if that had happened to me? It was Garry who had brought her Candy’s photograph. When she had pulled the pillow off her face Garry had been hovering tn the doorway between their rooms. Garry, and only ‘Garry, would have known that Olive had taken the blue velvet robe. There was a tap on the door and Tom called, "Here’s the pull* over.” “Come In,” Nora said in reply. He opened the door, handed It to her and went out again with a wave of the hand. Nora slipped it on and found it much too big but she liked the brave color. At length she said. “I’m sorry you are getting Involved tn our troubles, Garry. What on earth have the police been asking you all this time?” As the nurse tucked in the comer of a sheet she added impatiently, “Oh, Ist that go for how and sit down.” Garry did so. “They asked me about everything under the sun. And when they got done they started all over again. They did that four times. But you can’t make out what they are thinking or whether they believe you.” They had asked her how well she knew the druggist and hoW he had happened to call that

particular night. Garry looked at i Nora then, an odd expression on her face. ”1 told them he came here to ask me to marry turn and we’re engaged.” “Garry, how wonderful! Tm to glad. But what on earth shall I do without you?” “1 won’t be leaving right away.” The nurse added bitterly, "The police win see to that” ' “Do they," Nora did not know how to express It tactfully, ’Ufelieve you had anything to do with all this?” "It’s not me. It’s Howard. Becausd’he dated That Girl a few times. Though why they think he’d push Mrs. Riddle—” She got restlessly to her feet and went back to making the bed. "TU miss you," Nora said. “You’ve been so kind.” But have you. she wondered. Have you? Garry’s hand paused in smoothing a blanket and then she ]erked IT so hard she pulled it out at the bottom. "You don’t need me any longer. Miss Pendleton. And you’ll be married soon yourself." "Garry, what did Dr. Ruysdahi say about me when he came?” "You're getting along fine. But he wants you kept absolutely quiet. And that reminds me, he left some tablets you’re to take." She glanced at her watch. ’Time tor one now." "What kind of tablets?” “Just some stuff to quiet your nerves.” "I won’t take them." "Now, Miss Pendleton." "I won’t,” Nora said. “I won’t It’s no use, Garry. He intends to keep me doped the way 1 was when Stuart was tn jaiL So I can’t talk to the police. Finn put him up to thia Where is Finn? I’m going to talk to him.” Before she could open the door the nurse was beside her. "You mustn’t go downstairs. The police may still be here. And you’re—supposed to be resting." "But I’m not resting and I’ve got to see Finn." The two girls measured one another silently and then Garry capitulated. ’TU get Mr. Black to come up here." I’ll stay until I’ve seen him," Nora said, “but that is as much as FU agree to.” "Maybe he will change your mind,” Gaj-ry said without any inflection in her voice. "After all, this is for your own protection, you know." Nora laughed suddenly. 1 "It’s almost funny in away. I’m pro-

tected until someone wants to kill me and then things go wrong.” She broke off as there were raised voices downstairs. Stuart was shouting. "Where's Captain Foote?” "He went in to the village for lunch," Finn replied. "What's up, Stuart?” “It's about Deming's testimony,” Stuart said, his voice cold with anger. Before Garry could stop her, Nora had flung open the door and was running along the hall toward the stairs. "What about me?” Cousin Charles said calmly. Stuart ignored him. He was facing Finn. "Deming lied in his teeth on the witness stand, tn order to cover up for Frank. Potter ]ust got the truth out of the kid. He knew Candy, he'd seen a lot of her, he’d been to her cottage. And he didn’t have an alibi for the time when she was killed. He —” Nora had come into the living room but no one noticed her. Finn and Stuaft were watching Deming, who carefully put a marker in his book, removed his reading glasses and replaced them with distance glasses. He appeared to be unmoved by Stuart’s revelation but Nora saw that' his hands were shaking. He looked from Stuart, whose face was twitching with fury, to Finn, who was staring at him with incredulity. Then his eyes fell on Tom Jones, who had strolled in from the kitchen eating a doughnut. “Tom!" he exploded. “What are you doing here? You are being paid to—be with Frank." “Frank is too old for a nursemaid,” Tom said, "and sooner or later this was bound to come out.** He lunged and caught Stuart's arm. “Don’t be a fool. Young! Knocking Deming down may relieve your feelings but it won’t solve anything." Stuart looked at his clenched fist, opened' the fingers by an almost visible effort of will and his arm dropped at his side. "1 won’t touch him," he said thickly, “but make no mistake about it Captain Foote is going to hear the whole story. Td like to see Frank where Fve been this past year and you with him, you perjurer!” An offer of blackmail and a slap in the face await Nora. Continue Chapter 23 tomorrow.

Prominent Clergymen Prepare Meditations

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third of six Easter meditations in which prominent clergymen discuss the events of each day in the final week of Jesus Christ’s earthy ministry. Today’s author is the rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Bethesda, Md. By THE REV. DR. WILLIAM F. CREIGHTON Written For The United Press In the midst of the most evenful week of Christ's life among men, this week of rapid action, comes Wednesday. And it comes with the strange dramatic effect that we experience in unexpected 'Silence. Christ appears on this day not to have gone into the city but to have spent its hours quietly with his friends and disciples in Bethany. The triumphal entry and the ! cleansing of the temple are behind him, The last supper and the arrest and crucifixion lie ahead. Few of us would question the real value of Christin faith in dealing with the dramatic crises of our lives It may be much more important for us to realize God's presence, his being, in the uneventful, unrecorded, days of our lives. More Important It may be more important be* cause there are many more of them and they lie for all of us Somewhere between the high moments. Ordinary days come in between birth and death, between, decision and consequency. What happens on those common days affirms or denies what went before. and shapes the events to come. . This day, then, can say much to us because of its setting grid because of its quiet,because it ! speaks to us more of being than of doing. It reminds us that G6d acts not only in great worldshaking events but also on ordinary days. • Here are all persons on a common day. What Ido last Wednesday? affirming or denying all that has gone before, and preparing for all that is to come. Mostly In Bethany To find Christ on such a day simply “being in Bethany" is helpful because most of our days are of this sort. They are spent where we are, with our friends, doing the same things we always do and it is on such days that our being, the manner of our living the way in which we meet our friends, confirms or demes what has been and shapes what is to be. Christ may have been tempted on this day knowing what lay ahead. Certainly he prayed and throught, and surely his love flowed from life to life as he talked and ate and planned with his friends; He went on from Wednesday to the mighty acts of the days to follow. Men ever since have stood in thankful wonder beneath the
