deficits. It is a little known fact

that during Truman’s years in the White House there were three years of surplus, totaling Sl2 billion 683 millions, and three years of deficit, totaling only $8 billion 950 million in spending, for a total real surplus of $3 billion 733 million. Now compare that with 'the Republican record under Eisenhower. In only two years did income exceed spending under the Republicans, for a total of $3 billion 222 million, while deficit years, totaling four, led to deficits of $22 billion, 333 million, or a real deficit of sl9 billion, 111 million under the Republicans. That doesn't sound at all like the promised balanced budget. The Republican promises of honesty and efficiency in government have certainly fallen flat, while Republican leaders Dave Beck and James Hoffa have sacked labor unions of millions of dollars. And how about Democratic spending? Do you think it is high? That’s what the Republicans want you to think, but the truth is, Truman spent, even including a year of wartime budget, a total $257.7 billion; Eisenhower, during his “brink of war” peace budget, has spent a total of $419.4 billions. Really economy, isn’t it? Watch out for the last minute stories on both sides of the political fence. Look at the record, and then decide how you intend to vote. Remember, it is the party who will do the leading, not colorful individuals. The best individual, voting for the throng measures, can ruin this country pretty fast. A straight ticket vote, holding the party strictly responsible for its platform and party promises, is a far more effective way", of achieving good government.

CHAPTER 26 CAPTAIN COLIN Campbell telegraphed from Richmond that he would be in Denbury the next day and his sister-in-law, Betsie, was at the station to meet him. For a moment he hardly knew her, she was so changed. Her face was drawn with lines of anxiety and sorrow. Her hair was streaked with £ray. But her carriage was proudly dignified as she walked quickly toward Colin and her welcoming hug was as affectionate as ever. When they pulled back from their embrace to scrutinize each other, Colin saw that there were tears running down her cheeks. “Oh, Colin." she said, "I'm so glad you’re here. But you are too late to see your father. He died yesterday. Your telegram arrived an hour or so before he died, and it made him happy to know that you were all right and that you were coming. He fell asleep with a smile on his lips and never woke up. He had been fearful—you see, we are doubly stricken.’’ "Doubly stricken?" Colin mumbled, his tongue thick and his throat choked with sorrow. "Your father's stroke was brought on ■ by the news that Ralph had been killed in action." Betsie and Macklyn’s only son! He had no words to express his compassion as he pressed her to him and cried. Death in old age brought with it a grief softened by inevitability, but the death of a boy killed in battle was only harsh. Colin raged against fate, against the cruelty and stupidity of men. No wonder Betsie wept. She would weep whenever she thought of the baby boy she had held in her arms, the child she had raised to manhood, the proud young cadet she had sent to war. “Betsie," he said finally, “if I had known—why didn’t you let me know sooner? *ls Macklyn here? Were you alone through all this?" "Macklyn came two days ago end sent for you as soon as he arrived. He has been tn the West, in Tennessee where the war has been going badly, and he couldn’t get away sooner. He Is waiting at Quail Wings for us— we should go” They climbed into the carriage. Toby, with a sympathetic smile on his face, held the door for them. At a glance, Colin saw that the carriage needed paint and that Toby’s livery was frayed. The horses looked bony and overworked. Settling into the cushions, he took Betsie's hand and asked, “When did you get the news of Ralph?” “Two weeks ago. He had been put In charge of a company of marines and they were chasing Tom Dare, who had commandeered a frigate—"

A general meeting of the Decatur Woman's club will be held Nov. 7 in the public library auditorium. Mrs. Chic Jacksori, of Indianapolis, will be the guest speaker. o— — ' Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LEE o —— o Q. I attended a bridal shower recently in honor of my future daug-hter-in-law, and I was criticized for singing my name on the card enclosed with my gift as “Mrs. Waterman.” Was I really in error? A. You should have signed your name as “Mary Waterman.” Q. I have been employed for

I ‘Tom Dare! What has he got tp do with it?” Colin asked. “Well, you know he had been in charge of the supply center at Dare's Landing and naturally a 'fcood deal of money went through his hands. He evidently decided that he had backed the losing side and if he wanted to keep his fortune intact he had better get away quickly. Jeannie went with him.” Colin remembered , a conversation with Tom Dare before the war, nearly two years ago, _in which Tom had said, ‘The South cannot possibly win.” “Do you remember that Christmas dinner at Quail Wings when Tom was so full of Southern patriotism?” Colin asked Betsie. ‘1 reminded him then that he was contradicting his previous views. But why should he go to all that trouble? He could have gone north at any time before the war started and even afterward. He could have acquired safe conduct.” “He not only deserted, Cohn. He took Confederate gold with him. Before the war he must have thought out his pose as a rabid rebel. , Anyway, that's why they sent a ship after him. The ship was sunk with al) hands lost.” In a muffled voice she added, “And Ralph was on the ship.” "Anything for a dollar, honest or dishonest,” Colin said bitterly. "And that Ralph should die because of that sneaking—’’ “Don't!” Betsie interrupted. "Please, now that you know the whole story, let’s not talk of it any more. I can learn to face the fact that Ralph is dead but 1 can’t bear to think about the episode itself." “I understand, Betsie.” S..e was right. To dwell on the injustice of fate was to go mad. "How had things been at Quail Wings before this happened?" he asked in an attempt to find more solid ground. “It’s been lonely, of course,” Betsie answered, "but your father and 1 were too busy to mope. Several of the slaves ran away north. Most of them your father loaned to the government for factory work in Norfolk. There are only five left at Quail Wings now —and only one for the house. So, of course, there was plenty of work for both of us.” “That house is so huge," Colin said. “We closed off all but five rooms last fall when it got cold. But even so—” Colin glanced at her hands. The nails were broken; the skin was roughened. He took them and raised them to his lips. "You are a wonder, Betsie," he said. Knowing how brief their time together would be, Colin left Betsie and Macklyn to themselves as much as he could until a f ter,

' sometime as secretary to a man who will be retiring very shortly. Would it be proper for me to give ' him a gift? A. Although this is not obligatory. there certainly is nothing wrong with it. Q. Should a woman call on a new neighbor in the same apartment building? A. Although this is not oblig- > atory, an offer of friendship is never improper. The word Texas, or Tejas, is dei rived from the Spanish pronunciation of a Caddo Indian word , meaning “friends.” Ysleta, established in 1682, holds the distinction of being the oldest permanent settlement in Texas. .

the funeral. After crowded army life, with its absolute lack of privacy, he was glad to be by himself. Riding through the fields, most of them now gone to weeds, on the elderly mare which was the best mount Quail Wings stables now provided, he silently nursed his grief. Macklyn had to get back to his command in Tennessee immediately after the funeral. But before he left the two brothers went into their father's study together. Colin had an idea he wanted to propose to Macklyn before he left. “I’m worried about Betsie,” he told Macklyn. “With Linda out West and Lorena working tn the hospital at Richmond, she’ll be so alone now that Father’s gone. I’d like to suggest that she stay at Campbell Hill. It’s safer up in the mountains and Zack and Nell would love to have her there. She’d have an easier time of it.” “It’s very kind of you to suggest it, Colin," Macklyn answered. He looked so worn by care and sorrow that Colin wondered he could make the effort to speak, but his fine dark eyes still shone with pride and intelligence. “By all means suggest it to her. It would relieve me a good deal if she would do it, but I’m quite sure she won’t. She’ll feel it’s her duty to stay here as custodian of Quail Wings.” “I’ll try to persuade her, anyway,” Colin answered. “Before you leave, could you give me a rough picture of how the war is going? I only know what’s happening in front of my own nose and that seems on the whole successful.” “Yes, the fighting goes well for us in Virginia,” Macklyn answered. “But we are losing on other fronts. Soon we will be completely blockaded unless bysome miracle we manage to maintain our hold on the Mississippi. It takes a while to feel the effects, but when the blockade is complete we will be squeezed into submission. It is clear now that England will not help us. It isn’t hopeless yet, but I’m afraid it soon will be.” Colin groaned. This was what he had feared before the war evei began. Macklyn stood up, his back held straight and proud. “I’ll say goodbye to Betsie and then I must go’. It has been wonderful to see you for this little time even if we were brought togethei by father’s death. In away, 1 am glad he died now—that he did not live to see what I fear is in store for us.” j Can a man tell Another man, “2 know you're In love with my wife,” more in sorrow than anger? The story reaches an emotion-packed climax here tomorrow.
