WE AUK NOT INDIAN CIVEKS No one of us would band a soldier a bullet he needed and tlien take it awav from liim. We do not send planes and tanks overseas, then ship them back lief ore they can go into battle. Yet every time any one of us buys a war bond and then cashes it in, we are stepping- back from victory as surely as if we took bullets away from soldiers and recalled planes and tanks. This it, a. bad monpy month for many of us. D:'lls and income taxes .must be paid, and the'.e will be a certain temptation to cash in a few assets, such as war bonds. Hut what are our difficulties, compared to those cf the men and women who are htinj? this war for us? IIovv can we excuse ourselves, if we, because of our small Jiomefront discomforts or worries, withdraw from them our support? They are do:'ng so much for us. We can do so little for -them, really. We cannot be with them; we cannot help them in their personal battles for courage and wisdom. We cannot feed them when they are hungry, or care IV them when they are wounded. But we CAN see that they have' whatever thev need to -defeat the enemy. And we can give them the knowledge that our dollars are behind them and that our dollars will stay behind them. - So let us hold onto our War Bonds, come wh.it mav. If

Hoffman stated, "because the labor, farm machinery, and fertilizer situations are likely to be tighter than ever, and the demand for oorl for the armed forces is not likely to decrease," he said. " Farmers, many of' whom have already increased wheat acreage, are going to be tsked to produce more of soybeans, and at the same time hold to the 1944 U'vel of corn acreage, and this will call for reduction' in the oats acreage.' These changes are asked in order to provide sufficient feed for livestock in the state. ' ....... ... .--..:. ..." l''.2:T ' .. .. .

IB45 3Y AUTHOR CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE After a moment Nugent ijskeil, "Wily do you think shot Craig?" ' AfraLn the defiance went out of Drue, She shook her head. "1 don't know. I dtin't know ..." "ponH kiifiic! Of course, you don't know! It's an obvious attempt to divert your inquiry, Lieutenant. I'm Surprised that you enn't see through this girl's story." ' So per came close to Drue, his face red and threatening, shaking a pudgy but forceful forefinger under her nose. "NoWj you see here, Miss. We want the truth. You did quarrel with Conrad Brent, didn't you?" "I. didn't quarrel with him, I asked him to permit me to stay and take fare of Craig." "You quarreled with him! You were heard yesterday afternoon when he tried to send you away. You blamed him for breaking up your marriage. You came here in ibe hope of getting young IJrent back Again, liut his father wouldn't let you, so you killed him." Drue's' face wasn't white any more.; two searlet flames were in her cheeks, her eyes Hashed. "I came here to nurse Craig," she s:iid. "And he was my husband until his father-" "Drue, Drue!" I cried. And Soper said, "Arrest her, Nuger.t. 1 insist upon it. I'll make you responsible if she gets away. It's a murder charge, there's no use in prolonging this thing. Take her away. ..." "I don't think there's enough evidencematerial evidence to convict." countered Nugent coolly. "Enough evidence!" snorted the District Attorney. ''What more do you want? There's the hypodermic. "We haven't nirde sure that she had one." . "You will, you will! No use asking her, she'd only lie. Yes, and you"-hc Kutr.eed on me, his eyes angry, bright slits in his red face "yoo'are putting her up to it Well, we'll take care of you, too. Ucsiiles, there's the witness. .'. ." "Nickv SenouV," remarked Nu"it softly. "And he says he won't swear to it. Besides, he diun t see her kill him. He said only that she whs in the library with Brent. . ." "He said they were having a row. That kind of thing goes a long way with a jury. Don't be n fool, Nugent! 'Ysm'll get the evidence. Hot put the girl, under arrest;, make sure you've got her. All tiie eviileiicein tile world don't do you any good later if you've let the girl who did it get away. Arrest her. . . ." "I'll take her into custody," said the Lieutenant slowly. "Custody! What do you mean by that'." "I'll keep her here, m her room Under guard," declared Nu.ueiit. And in the end. incredibly, that was exactly what he did. Put fust they questioned her again,' and made me leave before they t""I retired ungracefully anu sal the bench in the hall walehinj; door.

"Full co-operation in meeting-' the 1945 crops goal is needed," Hoffman said, "and if every "arnier in every locality will respond to suggestions from his local war board committeemen the state, as a whole will make the greatest possible contribution to the war effort." HOME SEWING PROVIDES CHILDREN'S' CLOTHING LAFAY-ETTE". Tnd., Jan. 17, Although ' there is no relief in sight for the severe shortage in children's clothing; new garments cannot reach retail stores for some tune. Therefore, the best immediate help lies in more' home sewing and remodeling of arments on hand, emphasizes Miss Mcta E. Martin, Purdue University extension clothing specialist. For those who say this is too big a Job, Miss Martin points out that until relatively recent years most children's garments were made at home and many of them were well constructed and attractive. Home sewing for children boyn or girls should be even

ing and failing to hear anything hut a rapid murmur of voices, I didn't care whether Craig Brent lived or died, I hated him for being the cause of Drue's presence in that ill-omened house. Once I did go upstairs, The door to Craig's room was open and ( I peeked in cautiously. Peter Huber was sitting in a chair beside him, smoking. Anna was standing at the window, her back toward the room and her head bent with a handkerchief to nor eyes.1 Craig and Peter were talking in low voices. Craig looked all right, certainly the authorities were not hounding him. I went quickly back to the bench j downstairs and they were still in the little morning ronm. ' i I was there when they emerged. Drue was drawn-looking; her lips were chalky. She looked at me with haunted eyes. They took her straight upstairs, and put her in her room, under guard, 1 followed. Super, giving me a suspicious louk, had turned into the library. r Nugent couldn't have failed to se 4 that my room connected with Drue's.- P.ut the trooper already on jruard didn't stop me when I entered my own room. And of course I went straight through the bathroom to Drue. i She was standing in the middle of the room, facing the door, head up, ln.nds clenched at her sides as if at bay. When she heard me she whirled and suddenly crumpled down on the bed. "Oh, Sarah, Sarah, what shall I do?" I sat down on the bed beside her and took her hands. "What havo you tpld them ? What did they make 'you say? Tell me." ' In the end it wasn't too -bad; which is to say it could have been worse but not much. They had questioned her at length, but "I kept saying 1 didn't know. 1 remembered what you said, and told them I, wanted a lawyer." She pressed her hands over her face. "Funny," she said unevenly, "how hard it is to evade making a direct statement. You employ all the spirit of lying and yet you can t make yourself conquer the fact. Well," she took her hands from her face and stared at the rag, "they don't know I gave him the hypo: dermic not certainly. But oh, Sarah, what ctn I do!" . Well, I said what I could, which was little enough. 1 told her we'd get a lawyer. I told her they had nothing but . circumstantial evidence. ' ' "But thpy convict people on cirCUmlauuai evidence, mm uiey, Sarah?" Just then there was a knock on the door, and it was the trooper W ilMns. the man on guard. He said ihey wanted us to come to Craig's :-0"!)l. ''' "Uiffht away, please," the troop- - rided.

MIGNONG. EBEnllART SYNDICATE, INC. fell upon Drue again. Nugent was als" on hand and the trooper with the shorthand . tablet. Anna was hovering in a corner but Peter had gone. After a closer glance at Craig I sent Anna away and took up my post at his side with my fingers on liis pulse. I did feel a wave of compunction. There was a flare of color in his cheeks and his eyes were too bright. "I sent for you, Miss Kate," he said, "and for Drue. I thought this concerned both of you." "I'm af ''aid you'll have to be quick," 1 told Nugent. "Ten minutes ..." Drue went over to stand in the shadow of the window curtains; the light fell upon her white skirt and her face was in the shadow. ' "We "weren't going to question you, if we could help it, until you were better," began Nugent. "All right," said Craig. "But first, exactly what is your case against Miss Cable?" , "I'll tell you," answered Lieutenant Nugent, and did: Drue had quarreled with Conrad Brent; she had held him responsible for her separation from her husband; ("that is," said Nugent "from you, Mr. Brent . . .") she had had digitalis; the medicine was missing from its customary place, and there was the mark which might be that of a hypodermic needle on the body of Conrad Brent. He explained,' that, since no one else knew anything of the missing box of pills, there w as only one construction that could be placed upon their absence, plus the hypodermic and the fatal amount of digitalis found in Conrad Brent's body. And that was that Drue had removed ' t he medicine to administer a fatal dose of digitalis. "Am I to understand then that your whole' theory is based upon a presumption that Mi;s Cable came here with the purpose of effecting a reconciliation with with me. and that her purpose was so overwhelmingly strong that she murdered my father because he opposed her?" There was an edge in Craig's voice. He went on. "Because that's out" of the question. As a motive that is preposterous. Neither Miss ('able nor I have anv desire to rcmavrv." "Then why," asked ooper. "did she quarrel with your father?" Craig lifted his eyebrows. "Quarrel with my father? That was nc difficult achievement." :; -j "Heally. Mr. Brent," said .Sopor looking shocked. "Your father .". ." "I know. I know," cut in Craig. "But though this is an inquiry into murder; there's a duty towards the living, too. However, it is likely that my father asked her to leave" and she 'resented being kicked out. But so far your evidence is altogether circumstantial.. You can't prove " "There 1 beg to differ with you," interrupted Soni-r. "If we find J,cr hypodermic outfit ami it has contained digitalis' ..." Craig said quickly, "But you haven't found it. And even so. .;iiv wasn't here the night an .itleno t was made to murder me. ' He lo-.ked terribly grim around the mouth. (To be conlmufili Cnpyrltht hy -Mln !.
