Albemarle, N. C. Mother’s Day will soon be here And Father's Day is jnst around the corner, so I want to bring them' both together and write a short ar ticle about my dad and mother. "Precious father, loving mother, Flv across the lonely years, And old home scenes of my child­ hood In fond memory appears.’’ In my memory I now recall when I was just a .small child, following around after my daddv and mother 011 a little 3 0 acre farm In old Yad kin county near Hamptonville Our borne was just a poor little home as far as the buildings and the furni­ ture was concerned, but thanks be unto God. it was a rich one in the spirit of Christ. Dad and mother were both Christians, and I mean fotlowers of the Lord. They taught j s children the Bi­ ble, and the conteuts too, for I have heard dad say many times "Spare the rod and ruin the child." And he didn’t spare it. When we needed a whipping we got it. They taught us to work, and they let us play. Mymothertaught me early about God, the great cre­ ator, also of Jesus, and that be died on the cross for me and for all. I can now remember when not over 3 or 4 years old, of my sweet moth­ er telling me one day, "Jay, if we will be good and love Jesus, and always live for Him, He will come after us some day and carry us to that great sweet home above, there we will have a real home, and ev- erything there is beautiful and sweet, an-l we can all live together forever.’’ Praise God for a Chris­ tian mother. Time passed on and -daddy wonld be at work everv day except Sun day, and it was real haid work too cleaning up new grounds, chopning wood, hewing logs for buildings, plowing and so on. So I’d be with daddy a lot of the' time, following him everywhere he’d let me go He, too, would tell me about the Lord, and how we should live for Him, and that beautiful city of Heaven. Sometimes he would talk about his parents that died long be* fore, and how good thev were, and how he wished thev could have Iiv ed longer, and how he always tried to obey'them, and I could see big tears standing in bis eyes.- I didn’t know what it meant tber, but I do now. Yes, when I stood by moth er’s bed with my band on her coo] brow as. she was leaving this world, I knew. Mother and daddy were so devoted to each other, there was nothing too good for either of them to do for the other. They loved each other with a love that only people of God can have. I .can now recall to memory, times when daddy would be in the field working late, then after supper be would go to the store. Sometimes he would meet up with some of the good neighbors and (alk longer than he thought, and would be late getting In, and mother would get uneasv about him. As it would begin to get dark she would be come more uneasy. She would walk out ou the porch and look and Iis ten In the direction of the store. After a while she would hear some one coming whistling cr singing, and she would come back in with that sweet smile, for she knew his voice, and he was always whistling or singing. Dear old daddy is still with us, at the age of 8 0 years. ' I trust he will be with us-many more years. But dear mother has been living in her beautiful mansion a Iwve for zoveaTS. In my mind it seems I can see her step from her mansion door and look back, this way and listen to dear old daddy as he StiIl tries to whistle and 'sing those sweet old songs they used: to sing together, such as "In the Memorial Services Son* day For Pvt.

The public is given an.in­ vitation to be present. A Shame We have read that a soldier, 18 , wrote his mother, saying that all but a few officers and men get drunk. Ernie Plye, a popular co­ lumnist in Europe, says that two things American soldiers will do, 'dtink liquor and gamble.’’ No good mother would content to al low her son to associate with drink­ ing and gambling men. One ot the greatest harms this war will do is damage the moral fibre of Ameri can youtb. Of all times of. human existence, being in eminent danger is the time for strict sobriety. A n intoxicated man may be reckless, but be is not at all likely to be pru­ dent, the better part of valor. Yet, our government permits . aod - en dorses the manufacturing ot intoxi­ cants liqaors. — Wilkes Hustler. WioeSaleHaIted At the meeting of the town board of West Jefierson a resolution was adopted banning the sale of wine in that place. "IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY. AND SEBC MY FACE, AND TURN AWAY FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS, AND WIU HEAL THEIR IAND."- 2 CHRON. 7:14. CAN THE LORD DBiEND ON YOU "AND MB sweet bye and bye, wc shall meet on that beautiful shore,’’ “ When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there,’’ and the sweetest of all the songs to me, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me,” You know, I have it pictured in my mind that when daddy and mother meet again it will be a great reunion and rejoicing that will last foreuer and sorever, The last words mother ever SDoke to me was, "Jay, meet me in beav en, for I know I am going.” Although I. have made many mistakes and blunders in life, but by the love and mercy of a sin for­ giving God I am expecting to meet my other some Street day and there reign with her forevermore. At times I don’t feel like it will be long, but praise the Lrird, I feet like I can say with old Paul, "If this earthly bouse of my was dis. solved, I have another building, a house not made with hands, etern al in the heavens.” "Precious memories, how they HnRer1 How they ever flood my soul, . In the stiliness.of the midnight Precious sacred scenes unfold.” Republicans Lookug To 1 9 4 6 Elections Regardless of whether or not the war is entirely over—and it certainly will be finised in Eurone before that time—the 1946 biennial election pro raises to be a rough and tumble affair with the Republicans having a real hone that theyjnay control at least one branch of Congress. Itis a political fact that on off years the Congressional election usu­ ally swings against the party in power. This was true in 1938 and again in 1942 but the New Deal ma­ jority in Congress-was so great that the Democratic maintained a paper majority though at times blocked in in the matter of the New Deal legis­ lation. In 1944 although President Roose­ velt won again, and took some doubt­ ful Congressional Seats along with him, the margin in Congress is still fairly aloae and the Republicuns feel they have an excellent chance to up­ set the political applecart in the House next vear. That is why, under the energetic leadership of Congress­ man Charles A. Halleck, of Indinia, they are not at all discouraged about 1946. In the Senate the prospects are not quite so rosy, yet the chances are that the State will be a lot closer po­ litically after the 1946 election than it is now, due to political reason given above. Tne Republicansnow have 40 mem­ bers in the Senate. They have gain­ ed two since the election through the death of two Democratic members and the appointment of two Repub­ lican to fill the vacancies, appoint­ ments made by Republicans gover­ nors. In the 1946 Senatorial elec­ tions. there will be contests for 12 seats how held by Republicans and for 20 beld by Democrats. In order to make the kind of showing they hope for the Republicans must re­ tain ati or nearly all of these twelve seats. They confidently expect to do so. So far as the 20 contested seats now held by Democrats are concern­ ed. five of these are In; the Solid Southand theycan be expected to go Democratic again. Southern De­ mocratic leaders are mostly anti- New Deal, but have not yet gotten to the point where they cm rally the voters in their own states against New Deal candidates. The label Re­ publican is too much for the voters of the South. The memory of the Civil War and of reconstruction days is still too vivid. But there are fifteen seats, now held by Democrats in the N rth 'and border states which will be contest­ ed In 1946 and it is among these fif­ teen that the Republicans expects to make gain. These states are Mis- soure, New Mexico. Rhode Islan I, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Arizo­ na, New York, Washington, Mon tana and Massachusetts. Of course the Republicans do not have to win all of these all of these states to get a majority of one vote, even if they were to hold all of the twelve con tested seats now occupied by Repub­ licans. Thisabigtask but not en­ tirely impossible. - Among the well known Democrn tic Senators coming up for re-elec­ tion in 1946 are Walah and Montana and Wheeler of Wyoming. Senator Walsh is bv no means a New Dealer and Senator Wheeler differs radical­ ly with the administration on foreign policy. But they are stronger than their party in their two states and the chances are thev will win again. Another strong Democratic candi­ date is Senator Meafl of New York. But there is talk Senator Mead may be drafted to run against Governor Dewey heading the state ticket next year. If this is done a Senatorial candidate of less vote getting ability might be picked. All in all the political election next year promise to be foil of fight and interest. They usually are in A- merica. Let us give thanks that we still hold on to our Democratic tra< traditions.—Union Republican.

It happened behind closed doors, but a lot of housewives would have relished being present when Cong. Clinton Anderson’s special food com- ,m ittee quizzed an array of Wash- "-ingtpn bigwigs. A lot of star w itnesses were pres­ ent, but the arm y, represented by M aj. Gen. Carl Hardigg of the quar­ term aster corps, chiefly took it on the chin. War Food Chief M arvin Jones started the ball rolling when he pro­ duced figures showing that last year, when m eat w as plentiful, the arm y gum m ed up the works by failing to take anywhere near the quantity al­ located to it. In the fourth quarter of . 1944, the army had asked for one and a quarter billion pounds of m eat. Actually, the arm y took half a billion pounds le ss.’ That, according to the closed- door testimony, w as the chief reason why ration points on m eat w ere dropped last year and the housewives got a windfall. The pub­ lic then got back to the habit of eat­ ing m eat. But today, with m eat far less plentiful, the arm y has ordered even m ore than allocated to it last year. General Hardigg w as unable to satisfy the c o n g re ssm e n as to why the arm y failed to take up its m eai last year, or at least failed to put it in cold storage for later use. Had this been done, arm y demands would now be much sm aller. Gen­ eral Hardigg also w as asked to re­ port back to congress on m eat con­ sumption per soldier in the Brit­ ish army, also in the Russian army. Congressmen also asked Har- digg to report on how much m eat w as consumed by U. S. troops- over­ seas, as compared with that con­ sum ed by troops in the United States. RELAXED MEAT INSPECTION One proposal to ease the m eat shortage is to abolish federal in­ spection in sm all local slaughter houses. These slaughterers have to pass state inspection anyway, and m ost of them are thoroughly reputable. But to sell inter-state they m ust pass fed­ eral inspection, so m any now sell only within state lim its. This is one reason why cattle-raising states are experiencing no m eat shortage today. General Hardigg, however, sat on the idea of relaxing fed­ eral inspection. He argued that federal inspection m ost con­ tinue. War Food Chief Jones and War Mobilizer Vinson w ere not im pressed with Hardigg’s argu­ m ent. “I never tasted federally in­ spected m eat until I w as in m y 20s,” scoffed Texas-bred Jones. “Out in Kentucky we did all right without federally inspected m eat,” Vinson agreed. “I never had it until I w as out of m y teens.” R epresentative Anderson of Al­ buquerque, N. M., chairman of the com m ittee, then took General Har­ digg to task for the arm y’s system of poultry buying. "Out m y way, where w e’ve got plenty of m eat,” Anderson said, "the arm y isn’t interested in buying poultry. Here in the E ast, where m eat is scarce, you’re taking all the poultry. Why not spread your poultry buying so that in areas where th e public has a hard tim e getting m eat it can at least get a littie poultry.” H e pointed out that the arm y is taking 100 per cent of the poultry in the Delm arva area — Delaware, M aryland and Virginia. Vinson supported Anderson, telling Hardigg: "Try to work that out with the war food administration, Gen­ eral.”* * * SEVENTEEN SWORD WOUNDS. INSIDE JAPAN. — The Jap high command ordered 15 divisions out of Siberia a month ago to defend the Japanese homeland. . . . But since the Russians denounced their neu­ trality pact, the Japs are frantical­ ly scouring the country for m ore troops to bolster the Russo-Japa­ nese frontier. . . . During the Stalin­ grad battle, the Russians depleted the red arm y in Siberia. It w as the Cossack cavalry, rushed to Stalin­ grad, which saved it. Now the red arm y in the east is at about full strength again. . . . N ew Prem ier Suzuki of Japan w as left for dead on the street when the young fas­ cists of the Black Dragon society murdered m ost of Japan’s moderate leaders a decade ago.

I WHtJ Wuhington Barau ti l Onion Trust Building HOW far do you live from a doc­ tor or a hospital? W hat chance have you to get into a hospital should the need arise? How m any phys­ ically fit persons do you know in your im m ediate com m u­ nity? The answ ers to th e s e an d other q u e s tio n s have H prompted a senate subcommittee to propose that som e­ thing drastic be done about i* as soon a s pos^.^ie and, as a starter, a bill has been introduced into the sen­ ate by Senators Burton (R ., Ohio) and Hill (D ., A la.) which would au­ thorize the appropriation of $110,000 ,- 000 in federal grants in aid to as­ sist the states in m aking surveys and plans for hospital construction and administration. The proposal of the senate sub­ com m ittee, chairm aned by Senator Pepper (D ., F la.), however, proposes a series of local health centers, ru­ ral hospitals, district and base hos­ pitals which would bring m edical at­ tention and hospitalization closer to the hom e towns and rural com m unities of the nation at a cost which, if carried through, would run into billions of dollars. The proposed plan to safeguard the nation’s health would reach into every community and would involve a close state-federal cooperation to m ake available to all citizens, not only curative m edical care, but pre­ ventive and diagnostic services now lacking or inadequate in thousands of sm all com m unities and levels of so ciety .. State of the nation’s health w as brought into focus by the selective service boards which disclosed that of the 22 m illion m en of m ilitary age, between 8 and 9 m illion are unfit for general m ilitary service. And it is only through the arm y re­ habilitation service that another 1% million inducted m en have been made, fit for service through correc­ tion of physical defects. Here are the answ ers to som e of the questions which brought about the plan to start this program to re­ habilitate the national health: A Farm Security adm inistration survey in 21 typical rural counties in 17 states showed that 96 per cent of those exam ined had significant physical defects, with an average number of 3% defects per person. Only I person out of each 100 ex­ amined w as found to be in “prim e physical condition.” The Life Extension Institute in ex­ amining 300,000 insurance policy­ holders selected indiscrim inately, found that 59 per cent w ere so phys­ ically impaired as to need the serv­ ices of a physician at tim e of ex­ amination. Mental Disorders High In 1943 the average m ale indus­ trial worker lost 11.4 days and the average fem ale 13.3 days of work due to sickness and injury. Appli­ cation of these figures to the number of m en and wom en em ployed indi­ cates a loss of m ore than 600,000,000 m an-days annually, or 47 tim es the amount of tim e lost through strikes and lock-outs of all kinds in 1943. Two-thirds of the illness encoun­ tered in general m edical practice is essentially neuropsychiatric in origin and half the patients in hospitals at any one tim e are there because , of serious m ental disorders. The national ratio of general hos­ pital beds is only 3.4 per 1,000 popu­ lation, in m any states m uch less; 40 per cent of the counties with an aggregate of 15,000,000 population have no Tegisteredr hospitals. There is a shortage of physi­ cians, particnlarly in the rural areas, and strictly rural areas have only about one-third as m any physicians in proportion to population as urban counties, al­ though this shortage is not due to less need for m edical care, for the burden of illness In rural areas is Uie sam e as, or great­ er than, in urban-centers. De­ spite this need, m edical gradu­ ates have shown increasing re­ luctance to settle in rnrai com ­ m unities. For instance, in North Carolina 73 per cent of the popu­ lation is in rural areas and these areas contained only 31 per cent of the state’s physicians. “Lack of hospitals and diagnostic facilities is one of the m ost impor­ tant factors in keeping doctors away from rural practice,” the senate com m ittee report says. The plan, approved by the sur­ geon general' of the U . S. Public Health service and, according to Senator Hill, by the National Hospital association, would set up as m any sm all health centers as possible, with a rural hospital located within easy reach of several health centers. District hospitals would be located conveniently so they could serve the rural hospitals-, and filially, as a hub for each m edical service area, there would be established a large base hospital. Both voluntary non­ profit and public hospitals would be eligible to participate. CLASSIFIED DEPAR TMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPFOR. WANT M ONEY? H ere are ten KEYS for your financial success.

Fnry hit the first bar, while Melody wandered down the street. Ira, a rough looking cus­ tomer, whistled at a girl across Uie street, whom Mdody had admired at a distance. In a flare of temper Melody knocked Ira down. When Ira regained his feet, Melody advised him not to whistle at someone else’s girl. He then entered the store and ordered canned food. The store owner refused payment. Fury was not doing as well; Uie men In the bar had started to razz him, believ­ ing him to be the half-wit Roscoe. CHAPTER IH “Talk! Talk! Talk!” George wailed. “You git that cayuse back here, and sm art quick! Yours, too. !We’re Ieavin’!” “Why?” “B ecause this dump is full o’ crazy fellers!” “ Where’s that c’rral?” old George rasped, his m ustache trembling. He started striding headlong down the street, lurching on his high heels. M elody fell in beside him . “You go in som e dump,” Melody enlarged, “where nobody don’t know you, and you pike all around with that half­ rum p grin; and next m aybe you ask som e dumb fool question a Coman­ che papoose could of answer for his- self, like, ‘Whut tim e is she naow?’ or ‘Where am I at, anyways?’—and naturally they don’t fall flat on their face, or nothin’. You otter know that by now." George Pury gave a low whimper in. his throat. “You got to walk in a new place kind of—unsm iling,” M elody said. H e hadn’t m eant to say that. It slipped out on him . He reddened a little. “Like m e,” he pushed ahead w ith it. “I ain’t said two words in this dump, but already I got a cer­ tain standing.” George F m y slowed up, then. H e said queerly, “Unsm iling . . . Un­ sm iling, you said?” Once m ore George Fury w as en­ tering the First Chance - Last Chance, from the w ay they had now com e—an act he would have sworn could never happen in this life or the next. And this tim e M elody 'Jones w as walking in, a little in front of him. A little sm ile w as on George Fury’s face. H e no longer cared what happened to him self. “Unsm iling Jones,” he whispered. Unsm ilingly Jones walked slowly into the Last Chance Bar. H is thumbs lay lightly along the upper edge of his belt—the “gunfighter’s hook,” he had heard. M ore than ever he w as trying to look neither to right nor left, so that his always restless eyes darted here and there in.Jight, quick-glancing strokes. He m oved so stiffly in his utter self- consciousness that his heels hardly sounded on the worn boards, even in the sudden stillness. You could hear his -left spur ring faintly, though, a tiny, thin bell. . . Suddenly George Fury w as look­ ing: very strange. Not in any w ay he had looked before. The old weath­ ered face drew taut. The crowd in the bar had fallen quiet for M elody Jones. They gave bade as he walked, m aking room. •They m ade a broad place for him a t the bar. George Fury cam e to the em pty space beside Melody. But George w as not looking at him . H is shoul­ der w as turned toward M elody a •little, and his eyes w ere active across all those other faces. The bartender w as whipping out a special long-necked bottle, and his hand w as unsteady as he poured. H e said, very low, "Your pleasure, gents—” and tossed out a clean glass for George Fury. “No, thanks,” George Fury said, hardly hearing it him self. Two or three who had drawn back from the bar eased forward now, re­ sum ing their places. M elody turned sharply on them —showing off for George Fury—and they fell back again. M elody swayed over to speak con­ fidentially in George Fury’s ear. “ Get that sheep look off your old swizzle, w ill you? You’re all right s ’long’s you’re with m e. See, now?” George Fury said, “Come out of here.” M elody Jones had never heard him speak so flat and low. “ Turn your back, if you have to. But don’t tetch no gun ..." M elody looked at George for a little bit; then he slowly drank the deep drink the bartender had poured. “B est liquor I ever et,” he said. -“Where you get that?” “I m ake it," the bartender said, speaking like a child. “Listen—w e didn’t m ean nothing—just the boys having a little fun with Roscoe, here —like you m ight yourself—’’ “Sure," M elody said vaguely. “You don’t w ant nothing?” he said to George. “P ay and com e on,” George Fury said. “N ow !” A sM elodylook ed at George Fury’s face he saw a faint dam p sheen, like river-bottom dew, across Fury’s forehead. Melody gave in.. “How. m uch?” “H ouse. On the house. Any tim e,” the bartender said. H is words hafi that strangeness you som etim es hear when a voice does not properly fit the face from which it com es. M elody looked at him oddly, then turned to follow George, swaggering slowly, his hands in the gunfighter’s hook, then backed out stiffly, his eyes watchful all over the bar. “You see,” M elody Jones said when they w ere alone on the board­ walk. “You see?” He looked side­ long at George Fury. George w as looking at Melody with glazed eyes. H e w as shaking with a m inute harsh tremor, like the shifting of sand. “We got to get out of here,” he said hoarsely. “Whut?” “We fetched up in a loonitical asylum, that’s what we done!” “How’s that again?” “I ’ve knowed fellers that sprung a brain,” George Fury said. “But this is the first tim e I ever see a whole town go high-leppin’ crazy like one m an!” “Now George,” Melody said un­ certainly, “you know that cain’t be. Ain’t no w ay for how com e—is there?” George tapped Melody’s breast­ bone with his forefinger. “Loco weed! You’ve see it crazy up a hoss. Now you’ve see it crazy up a tow n!” Melody thought that over, but he w as looking at George queerly now. “They wouldn’t eat it,” he decided. “Not everybody in town.” “M aybe it got in the flour. Maybe it got threshed right in wholesale.” M elody scratched his chin. “What color?” “Huh?” “You figurin’ on the white loco, or the blue loco?” George angered. “Don’t you go sassing m e,” he snapped. “I don’t aim to stand fer it! What color! What do I keer what color?” The steam went out of him as quickly as it had risen. His voice w as alm ost He had never seen her before In his life. plaintive, it sounded so weary and far away. “I want m y cayuse,” he said'. “Gim me m y cayuse, with m y saddle on him , and two rods head go. That’s all I ask.” A whispered warning, hissing and frantic, burst alm ost under George Fury’s elbow. “Senor—no tu bayas! No tu bayas, senor!” A brown m estizo boy, very M exican, but very Indian too, w as calling out to M elody under his breath from the narrow slit between the Grand Eastern and the saddlery. “Don’ go to the corral! 'Don’ look at m e! Somebody with rifle, he’s w ait in the hay bam . H e’s for kill you, you go there!” George Fury turned relaxed and cooL H e shot an ironic glance of “I told you,” at M elody; then turaecT his back casually on the opening from which the brown boy spoke. H is stiff gnarled fingers w ere per­ fectly steady as he began to roll a cigarette. “Who, son?” he said from the side of his mouth. “What hay bam ?” “A t the corral,” cam e the thin scared whisper from between the buildings. “Don’ know who. You come—I show you . . .” George Fury’s eyes flicked left and right along the street as he licked shut his cigarette. Then he unhur­ riedly faded backwards into the nar­ row opening. Once out of sight of the street, he turned and w ent with the m estizo boy,' shaking his gun loose in its holster. M elody Jones hesitated, fidgeted, then followed. • “There,” whispered the M exican boy. “Up where the hay live. This near com er—where the loose board is from at . . .” They saw it then—a sm all, unex­ plained projection, sticking out of an aperture where a loose plank had been swung aside. It m ight have been the head of a snake, or a m an’s thumb. But it w asn’t It w as the m uzzle of a buffalo gun, sighted on the front gate of the corral. G eorgesidledp astM elodyan dled the w ay to the street. They didn’t have m uch to say to each other for a little while. Out on the board sidewalk of Court Street they leaned against the front of the saddlery, slow-moving, but edgily alert. George slowly lit his cigarette with­ out looking at it. His eyes were all up and down the em pty, sun- blazing street. Melody got out his tobacco sack, then stood for som e tim e holding it in his hand. Finally he put it away again without mak­ ing a smoke. He had forgotten what he started'to do. “You have any trouble with any­ body,” George asked Melody, “the whilst you w as down the street?” _“Well — no — no,” M elody con­ sidered. “Not what you’d call a bother, as bothers go.” “Melody, this ain’t no tim e to be holdin’ something back!” “W ell,” Melody adm itted, “I did kind of slap a feller. Just with m y open hand.” “You kind of slapped a feller,” George repeated, his tone slow and thick. “What did he do?” “He set down.” “You slapped him , and he set . . . Melody, how com e you done this thing?” M elody w as willing to answer, but he didn’t know. “Just to lam him, I reckon,” he shrugged it off. George Fury drew a long sigh. “We’ll try to m ake it to the foot of the street," he told Melody. “If’n so be it we git thar, w e’ll cut back and circle, and wade the crick, and try at com ing onto the corral from behind. We got to have them ponies M elody, som e kind of w ay. That saddle alone set m e forty-seven dul- Iers . . .” “AU right, George.” Slowly, careful to give no sign of haste, George and M elody wheeled back the w ay they had com e. And now M elody saw the girl again: She w as com ing quickly along the street with a nervous, reaching stride, and she w as walking straight toward M elody, as straight as a sur­ veyor’s sight. B ecause her eyes w ere narrowed against the sun, he didn’t know at first that her atten­ tion w as fixed upon his face. Suddenly he realized it w as tim e to get out of her way. She w as walking at him as directly as if he w ere a door, or an invisible man. M elody m ade a faint uncertain wob­ ble to the left, then to the right, and stood rooted in the m iddle of the walk; for the girl sm iled at him now, and still cam e straight toward him . “Darling,” she said to M elody. Her voice w as clear, and strong enough to be heard by som e of the shadowy m en who w ere watching now from a dozen doorways. “D arling!” She put her arm s about his neck, pulling his head down; and kissed him squarely. M elody’s hands held her gingerly, cupped lightly upon her back, and he w as upset to find that she w as shaking. As her arm s slackened about his neck he saw that her eyes were grey, with blue shadows under them that didn’t seem t o ' belong there; and she w as looking from one of his eyes to the other one with a question approaching panic. The one thing he w as certain of w as that he had never seen her before in his'life. M elody m ade a faint sound, like the stutter of a duck. She averted her eyes by pressing her cheek against the side of his jaw , and spoke to him rapigly. Her words we re breathless, but now barely audible. “Don’t go to the corral,” she said. “Don’t go any place. K eep youf backs against die w all, here. They’ll never dare com e at you from in front.” “Whut?” Over her shoulder MeV ody saw George Fury’s blank m is ery. “I’ll get your ponies and bring them here. Don’t m ove until I com e.” George studied M elody’s stupified face, and conceived that their case w as desperate. “Naow, m am ,” George Fury said, “yew jest looky here—” The girl flashed George Fury A sm ile of dazzling warm th. “Howdy, Roscoe,” she said. George m ade a noise like a m an kicked in the stom ach. . She disengaged herself from Mel­ ody, gave his arm a little fluttering pat, and hurried on past the Grand Eastern, toward the alley to the cor­ ral. Just before she disappeared around the corner of the Grand E ast­ ern she turned back, and tried to convey something to M elody silently, by an exaggerated lip pantom im e; but M elody didn’t catch it. George Fury had glued him self to toe wall of the saddlery, as he had been told. “Who’s thet?” “I swear I never seen her be­ fore in all m y bom days!” A roaring flubdub of.hoofs sound­ ed in the corral alley. A two-pony buckboard swung out of the alley into the street, nearly turning over ■ as one w heel hooked the high edge of the boardwalk. The girl w as driv­ ing, and having plenty of trouble, be­ cause the horses w ere half broke, • and she w as trying to drive them with one hand w hile leading George’s and Melody’s ponies with the other. T heysteppedoutJntothe dust and helped her stop the team . • “Ride close by m y w heel,” she said as they took their horses from her. “Don’t ask any questions..

THE HEBREW MONARCHY AT ITS HEIGHT LESSON TEXT-I Kings 9:1-7. 26; 10:26- »; 11:4. 11.GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed Is the nation IVhose God is -the Lord.—Fsalm 33:12. Keeping up with the neighbors is lot alw ays a desirable thing, but loth m en and nations do it. When h e last judge, Sam uel, had becom e >Id, Israel began to demand a king ike the nations round about them . Although the rejection of H is di­ rect rule over them through H is cho- ien m en w as a sad development, 3od perm itted them to choose a ring. Saul, their first king, w as evi- lently selected for his appearance ind his physical superiority. He oegan well, in dependence upon God, ju t c a m e to a tragic end because of sin. David, who followed Saul, had his failings, but w as essentially a m an ifter God’s own heart. H e wanted x> build a tem ple for God, but be- :ause he w as a m an of war, God lecreed that his son, Solomon, who succeeded him , w as to build it. With the reign of Solomon, and sspecially with the building of the :emple, the monarchy in Israel reached its highest development— »nly, to go down to disaster. Our lesson opens after the remark­ ably fine prayer w ith which Solomon iedicated the tem ple. I. Dedicatfon Accepted (9:1-3). God w as pleased with Solomon’s ntelligent and spiritual prayer and h e act of dedication, and H e hal­ lowed the house of the Lord by put- Iing H is nam e on it and assuring h em of H is continual presence. It is a delightful thing that God is willing to accept at the hands of a man the dedication of either him self >r his possessions for God’s glory. The Lord is M aker of heaven and earth and surely has no need of what we have. And yet He does have .ieed of it, and is ready to use it as we present it to Him . Our act of dedication results in H is act of acceptance and consecration of our talents, our tim e, our m oney, tr our goods for H is glorious service. But God expects His people to con­ tinue in devotion to H im if they are to have H is continued, presence and blessing.n. Consecration Expected (9:4-7). The throne of David w as to rem ain In the lineage of Solomon as long as <ie and the people of Israel walked uprightly before God. He expects obedience to H is commandments, and apart from it H e cannot give His blessing. N ote the faithfulness of God. No m an would ever have introduced such a note of solem n portent and St warning into an occasion which seem ed all gladness and light. Pros­ perity .w as at its height. The king was in favor with both God and man. Into that picture of success and grandeur God paints with bold strokes a great and striking “IF.” It is presumption to think that we can coast along oh past attainm ents or form er piety. H w e are to be ised and blessed of God tomorrow and the day after, w e m ust look to our consecration to Him and our obe­ dience to H is will. III. Possessions Glorified (9:26; 10:26-28). We read in 10:23 that “King Solo­ m on exceeded all kings of the earth in riches and wisdom .” H e had reached the pinnacle. The Chinese have a proverb, “The m an who stands on the pinnacle has nowhere to step but off.” It need not have been a snare for Solomon to be rich if he had m ain­ tained bis sim ple faith in God, but- the tem ptations brought in by heath­ en w ives whom he foolishly married, coupled with the deceitfulness of riches (M att. 13:22), soon led him into the downward path. The alm ost unbelievable riches of Solomon could have been used for the glory of God, but instead they were an end in them selves. When m oney takes the ruling hand in a m an’s life, he. loses out spiritu­ ally. H is life becom es an empty farce; his soul can be satisfied with only m ore and m ore gold. Solomon w as soon led into the fol­ ly of turning to the worship of heathen gods. Little wonder that we find: IV. Judgment Decreed (11:4, 11). It would seem that a m an who knows the Lord should grow in grace and becom e even m ore intim ate with God as he grows old. One m ight ex­ pect that the passing of years should m ellow and sweeten life. But sad to say, it is often not the case. •W ien Solomon w as old,” he went after false gods. How tragic! Little wonder that one of the saintliest m en this writer ever knew prayed constantly as he w ent on into his eighties, “Lord,-keep m e from ever becom ing a wicked old m an.” Other old m en and women (yes, and all of us) could w ell pray the sam e prayer. So it becam e necessary for God to w rest the kingdom out of th e hands of the great Solomon, and Israel goes on to its histoiy of a people divided; of disobedience to God, and of ulti­ m ate judgm ent. Of that we- shall see m ore in the w eeks just ahead.

U O t t S f H O l D m t m o s Simplicity Is the Keynote for Entertaining (See R ecipes Below) Tricks for the Hostess No sm art wom an need be in a dilem m a when it’s tim e for her to entertain. It takes m ore than ration­ in g a n d food shortages to do that. Indeed, if you don’t breathe a word about how difficult it w as to get it together, your friends w ill think you are giying them a glim pse of prewar entertaining. You can stretch the precious m eat w ith a supporting cast of vegetables. If you’re serving nonrationed eggs, gild them , w ith a bit of cheese and no one w ill dream that you had to do som e fancy extending. W hat about sugar? W ell, there are syrups, point-free prepared pud­ dings and m olasses. N o, there need be no difficulties; dress up your dishes and carry on. Entertaining is fun, but that m eans fun not only for the guests but for the hostess. It’s all up to you whether the party’s going to be pleasant for you or not. Gather your peint-easy recipes, plan accordingly and I’m sure it w ill all com e out all right. L et’s pretend your guests are com ing in for an evening of conver­ sation and a bit of food later on. You’ll want a ,good beverage or cool drink and with that an unusual cake. H ere is one m ade to order for the 'occasion: 4Prane Cake. 2 cops sifted cake floor I cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder H teaspoon soda V i teaspoon salt % teaspoon cinnamon V i teaspoon each, ground cloves, nutm eg, allspice % c iip lard 2 eggs I cnp prunes, cooked without sugar cnp m ilk Sift together all dry ingredients.

Bake in a m oderate (350- degree) oven until done, 25 to 30 m inutes. This cake is good with a m ocha or lem on icing.

Although Monty (who w as chris­ tened Edgar) w ill probably deny it, m uch of this is due prim arily to “the Beard” him self. Just now it pleases him to be sick and tired of the t a g and threadbare jests about his hirsute adornment. B u t there w as a day when M onty wel- M onty W oolley corned any flip re­ m ark about his chin curtain as furthering h i s nam e and fam e. I f you’re for- Gracie Fields tunate enough to catch Edgar Mon- tillion W ooley on one of his talka­ tive days he’ll give you a story of the weird ups and downs that have beset him from the cradle. H e’ll tell you the w ay w as not sm ooth for W oolley even before he becam e the bearded half of the Gracie Fields-M onty W oolley team which is box office honey right now. That combination, which has just culm i­ nated in “M olly and M e,” has pro­ vided the Beard with a new screen personality. It has sandpapered down the cutting edge of his acidu­ lous screen personality to a likable old devil whose bark is louder than his bite. But regardless of this, his beard—that hated wind-wooing alfal­ fa, to hear him talk—still figures as the m ost salable feature of the Wool­ ley personality. G e t O a f o t M y B e a r d ! When W oolley once told m e: ‘T m sick and tired of this printed drool about m y whiskers. For heaven’s sake, Hedda, keep m y beard out of your typewriter! So far as the pub­ lic is concerned I’ve ceased to be an actor or even a m an with any per­ sonality. I’m just a beard now, and in the future I w ant no m ore talk of it!”—I fell for it head over heels. Im agine, then, m y surprise to find “M olly and Me” featuring a s c e n e - one of the funniest in the pic­ ture, incidentally — pitched entirely around Monty’s chin wool. Then I learned he turned down a starring role in "Colonel Efifing- ham ’s R aid” because it called for a sm ooth face. A t the tim e W oolley becam e pro­ fessor of English at Y ale univer­ sity that seem ed a career worthy of fighting for. In the suave superiority Cf his classroom position M onty gave deep thought to th e finest nuances of the language. iSpoke his sentences w ith elegance and precision. But the theater w as strong at the back of his m ind and he asked for Uie post of dram atic director. George Pierce Baker’s appoint­ m ent to the post precipitated Mon­ ty’s resignation. Brought on a penni­ less and dispirited period in which Monty appealed to U s friends in the theater. They didn’t fail him ; he ended this phase by directing “F ifty M illion Frenchm en,” “Champagne Sec,” and “Jubilee”—no m ean rec­ ord. But his friends in Hollywood w ere directing pictures at plush sala­ ries. So M onty landed in m ovietown. T h a t B e a r d A g a in N ow the beard com es into the pic­ ture once again. The beard got M onty his first job in m ovies—a Rus­ sian im presario. But W alter Connol­ ly—a fat m an without a beard—con­ tinued to get the parts M onty had his eye on. M onty turned back to the theater for solace. W as on the eve of re­ turning to Broadway to direct an­ other play w hen M oss H art rang him , asking him to play the lead role in a play called “Strange Peo­ ple,” if I rem em ber correctly. The play turned out to be “The M an Who Cam e to Dinner.” It put the Beard right in the bead of the spot­ light. Hollywood didn’t see him again until W am ers determ ined to m ake the picture w ith B ette D avis. But B ette dem anded him and got him . Then 20th Century got Monty (or “The P ied Piper,” signed him to a long-term er out of which cam e a unique rom antic team —the G racie Fields - M onty W oolley combination. These two Invest an autum n love story with a sprig of spring. “Why not?” shouts the veteran of m any bitterly fought artistic battles. "AU things being considered, a beard covers alm ost any facial de-. feet and in the long run m akes its w earer look younger. Y es, and feel younger, too. So there!”• * O T o a G r e a t G a l Fibber M cGee has written, a song, “M y M olly,” dedicating it to his wife. M olly’s a star wherever she goes.

Fixed Laws Econom ic law s are law s of nature, rigid. They are divine law s in the sam e sense that the law of gravity is . a law of God. Such law s w ere in force long before the first man-made statute w as ever written, and no natural, law w as ever repealed Iqr act of parliam ent. Natural law s can be broken but they all carry within them selves suitable penalties for violation; hard to escape. Under natural law, every producer earns a profit when he serves-the public w ell; takes a loss when he serves the public poorly. "When manipulators, governm ent planners or any other kind, use artificial price controls, they violate natural law . It m akes no difference whether the aim is greed or to protect “lam e, ducks” from loss. Price controls en­ courage incompetence. W heat Price Parity Claude R. Wickard, Secretary of Agriculture, recently told an audi­ ence of w heat growers In St. Paul that U. S. production last year w as 1100 m illion bushels compared to 800 m illion in a typical prewar year. This is deem ed to forecast a post­ w ar over-production of 160 million bushels or m ore a year. There is a law com pelling government to hold up w heat prices for two years after the war. Taxpayers m ay as w ell brace them selves. It is tim e to start won­ dering w hat it’s going to cost per bushel to prop up the w heat price and hold it at parity; or w hat bonus per acre m ust be paid to non-grow­ ers of wheat for not growing wheat. Another wonder: Can the price sup­ port be rem oved after two years or m ust the taxpayers continue guaran­ teeing a wheat price indefinitely? Observe Natural Law There is an honorable w ay: L eave each industry’s problem for m en of that industry to solve. U sing w heat as an exam ple, perm it the Departm ent of Agriculture to pre­ pare such data a s Mr. Wlckard Save the farm ers and m ake the gures available to the whole in­ dustry. Let the farm ers use their own judgm ent in the light of Uie facts. They w ill do a better job than government m en, and it w ill not cost the taxpayers anything. One advantage is obvious: Men of an industry can consider an industrial problem unblinded by a dust storm of political considera­ tions. Government’s proper func­ tion is to serve the citizens. Govern­ m ent can get statistics m ore con­ veniently than an organization of business m en, and governm ent ex­ perts undoubtedly can offer valuable interpretations, but interference is not help. M en Can Think Business m en can understand government figures, interpret them and apply w hat they have learned. Figures from the Departm ent of Commerce and the Census Bureau have benefited m any industries in the past, interpreted by statisticians in the em ploy of trade associations. If wheat is over-produced one year, bread w ill be cheap. The next year, w heat m en can plan m ore cau­ tiously. W hat did the cotton subsidy do but open the gate for rayon to storm the cotton planter’s market? A fic­ titious wheat price can only bring that industry som e sim ilar calam ity. It is bad enotigh to have loyal citi­ zens taxed without m ercy to build a false price structure; w orse when you know that the result w ill be to lift a big essential Industry off its econom ic foundation and perma­ nently cripple it.

Didn’t Enter Promised Land History wi'l say this about Pre­ sident Roosevelt: He and Abra- bam Lincoln bad mncn in common, Taey led their ppople throngh war to the promised land of peace. They were not permitted to enter. They died on the edee of it It will be up to us—President Truman, Congress, the. State De- partment and the nation—to see that tbe paralled ends there. The years that followed Lincoln’s death were tragic. The two great wartime Presi­ dents died 80 years apart, almost to the day. President Roosevelt died April 12, 1945. jnst before the Allies were ready to declare organized resist ance iff German ended. President Lincoln died of an as sassin’s bullet April 15, 1 8 6 5 , just six days after the war between ihe North and South ended. Ahead of both men lay the tre mendous job of reconstruction and a prosperous peace. Both has vis. ion. For Lincoln it meant reconstruc- ting tbe shattered Sourb, healing the bloody wounds of civil war, making North and South one conn, try again. For Roosevelt it meant helping reconstruct the world, politically and economically. Working out a peace in Europe, finishing tbe war with Japan, set- ting up a league to prevent war, easing this country baek to peace, time work, and fuil employment. Because be died too soon, no one will ever know how Lincoln would have solved the problems ahead of him. Hatred, greed, vengeance blos­ somed like evil flowers after Lin. coin’s death. Nor will anyone now be able to say exactly how well President Roosevelt had laid .the foundation for world peace, pfosperons and se. cure. He killed himself working for it. But we’ll see—people like you and me—what our statesmen and our Congressmen build upon the groundwork he laid.. Lincoln was for treating the Southerners mildly. With Lincoln gone, Congress cooked a bitter plan of reconstruction for the South. And finally C6 ngress tried to im peach Lincoln’s suecessor in the White House, Andrew Johnson. If Lincoln had lived he might have been able to win Congress to his way ot thinking. President Roosevelt is succeeded by Harry S, Truman, Truman is a quiet man. He hasn’t given any evidence of the wide Roosevelt vis­ ion but on the other band he had small opportunity to do so. He goes into the White House well-liked by Congressmen, He was one of them hitnselt, a Senator un til his election to the vice.presiien cy last fall. One of tbe things to think about is this: Will Congress -go along with President Trnman and play ball with him? A rebellious Congress—or a Con­ gress no longer ciirershadowed by the Roosevelt charm and high in temions—could wreck, the new Pre­ sident’s plans and his administra tion. . One of the most vivid achieve ments of Mr. Roosevelt's whole ca­ reer is the United Nations Confer, ence now going on in San Francis­ co to create a league to prevent war 7 '/ It’s one .of the cornerstones of tbe ■ Roosevelt postwar program, But it’s only one of. the mile posts along that thorny and uncomfort­ able mad- President Truman will travel before he rounds out his term in the White House.

America Must Awake Many call themselves Christians, and they say they are patriotic, but bv many of their actions they have definitely proven themselves neith­ er. “ Wherefore by their fruits^e shall know them.” You wine, dine and dance our service men. In the name of Chris­ tianity, so-called, many of you have bsen more interested in entertain ing the service men than you have in winning them. to Jesus. You dance with them, and you have drunk with them, professing your, selves to be Christians. Suppose that yonder on some far.flung bat­ tlefield of tbe world, a soldier was dying, giving bis life’s blood for yon; going out to meet God unpre­ pared, he thought back to try to find something to console him, something to show him what he must do to be saved, he thinks back of you, that you said you were Christians, and yet you danc­ ed with him and drank with him, but said nothing about him repent­ ing of his sins to God and accept, ing the precious blood of Jesus Christ for tbe cleansing of his sins Then at the final judgment of the Great White Throne he shall point bis finger in your face and bis blood shall drip fromyonr fingers because you professed to be that which you were not. You never cared whetb er or not he was sa red from an e- ternal hell. Another thing. Duncing is one of the devil’s best tools for stirr'ng up lust and passions of men and women to the place where all mor als are forgotten and some of tbe most unholy, ungodly filthy acts of immorality are committed Instead oi a dance and a “hangout,” you need an old-fashioned revival and a prayer-room. Yon sing, “God Bless America,” and you want God to give us victory, yet you are not willing to pay God’s price for it. Look at the divorces in our land and country, drunkenness, adultry being committed, swimming pools crowded with people about 99 per cent, naked. Read I Timothy, 2 8 10 , also Titus 2, 11.2. .In nine of onr largest North Carolina cities there were 66 murders, non-negli gent, manslaughter; known to po. I ce January to December, 1944, inclusive. The chief danger in this century is, Religion without the Holy Ghost; Christianity without Christ; forgiveness without reoentance; sal vatlon without regeneration; poll tics without God, heaven without hell.

"1X7HILE it is much too early toi ■ make a fair and accurate ap­praisal as to the quality of leader- sfrip of the former Missouri farm boy, or to forecast how he will meas­ure up to the tre­ mendous --responsi­ bilities he"' has as­ sumed and with which he will be faced in the future, you may be assured that the country is in safe hands. Pres. Harry S. Truman is in no sense a political ac-Valter Shead eident. His nomination to the vice presidency at Chicago was made with a full knowledge of the possi­ bility of his succession to the presi­dency, and he was chosen for the ■Job by President Roosevelt himself, He will carry out the Roosevelt policies and the Roosevelt program faithfully on both the foreign and domestic fronts. He will not attempt So imitate President Roosevelt and Die chances are, he will not venture into new fields nor stray far from Die road mapped out by his prede­ cessor. Rather he will consolidate those policies and bring to fruition ,Die gains made in progressive gov­ ernment and liberal legislation which has been placed on the stat­ ute books during the last 12 years ef the Roosevelt administration. ; President Truman is a liberal ; Democrat and supported almost iwithout exception the so-called New [Beal legislation in the senate, but he has remained friendly with, and ,has retained the respect and esteem ad both conservative Democrats and Xepublicans in that body. Toward congress, he will ask cooperation and help rather than dictate to Diem. He has a reputation for dele­gating responsibility and for select- Dig the proper man upon whom to .delegate that authority. In his first message to the eongress he said: “Only with year help can I hope to com­ plete one of the greatest tasks over assigned a public serv­ ant.” In that message he also served notice that “the forward- looking people of America may be assured there will be no re­ laxation in our efforts to improve ftp lot of the common people.” Different Than Roosevelt. > Franklin Delano Roosevelt was* Swrn to wealth and position and he 'gained the ridicule and even con­ tempt of many of his blue-blooded ,associates by becoming early in life 'the champion of the common man, Die underdog. In contrast, President Xraman comes from the great mid- jdle class from the mid-West, He is a poor man . . . Iives on his salary, ] While President Roosevelt, even :early in his political career often !hocked the party organization, !resident Truman had climbed the 'political ladder through the medium Jef the party organization. He is re- ,garded as a party man. Roosevelt jaever was. ; Because of these two circum- I stances, his championship of the Iit- IDe man and his frequent disregard 'ef party, Roosevelt became a peo- ipfes* president and was elected and i reelected by the votes of the liberal 'and independent votes of the people !regardless of party'lines. Only time 'csn tell whether President Truman, coning from the ranks of the little people, will become their champion, J«r whether he will hew so close to party lines that he might alienate votes from other groups. A Humble Man. , Harry S. Truman is a humble ,man. He is God-fearing and no one iknows better than himself his capa- .UUties, and this is good. Ofttimes [Du responsibilities of the office of president itself brings out unknown 'Qualities of leadership and states­ manship in a man elected to that of- Dee. This has been true of other presidents. H s first press conference made a profound impression on the i aw e than 300 newspaper corre­ spondents and radio columnists !gathered In his office. He stood 1 Sehlnd his desk, the same desk I Pehind which President Boose- ; vdt sat and received newsmen,I Md faced a veritable barrage of , Questions. He answered them all frankly, decisively, definitely ,and without hesitation. He !Sowed appreciation, a sense of humor, and exhibited a great , of knowledge of what is I going on in this government I and in the governments of the I world. / H definite appraisal could be 'made on the basis of that first press !conference and upon his reassur­ ing message to the congress, one !undid say very definitely that !Resident Truman will measure up to all Die nation wishes of him . , . jftat we have a. man In the White House in these perilous times be­hind whom every man and woman .In our country can rally and close ranks for the successful culmina- ftm of our fight for world freedom, ftternational peace and national se- cusity. It Is no more than fair we him that support. O I Canning Is Food Insurance for Winter(See Recipes Below) Early Canning Strawberries and rhubarb, green peas and asparagus are all flaunt­ ing their gay col­ ors before our eyes and begging to be eaten, ei­ ther now or later.One of the most basic rules in canning is that fruit and vegeta­bles should be canned at the peak of the season to be their best. If you want a good product, you will have to put up a good food is another way of put­ting this rule across. Canning at best does not improve the food, it simply preserves it for future use. Unless strawberries are sweet and bright in color, they will not become so in the jars. The same is true of everything else which we put up. Less' canning sugar will presum­ ably be alloted this year than pre­ viously, and it would be well to de­ cide just how much of what you are going to put up before you start in using sugar. It will have to be strictly budgeted if it is to reach over all the winter’s needs. Those of you who have canned while sugar has been rationed know that it is possible to can with a great deal less sugar if you will put the fruit up not quite so sweet. Most of us can do with less sugar as long as we have nice loolting jars of fruit. One of the “musts” on your cam ning list this year should be sev­eral jars of jams, jellies and . pre­ serves to spread on bread next whip ter if butter sup­ plies are low. The family will greet these fruit con­ coctions with cheers: Strawberry Marmalade.

Place in saucepan with boiling water to cover. Heat to boiling. Pack as hot as possible into sterile jars. Add I teaspoon salt and I tea- _____________ spoon sugar to each jar. Process in the pressure cooker 50 minutes at 10 Vitamin Value and Retention. The more quickly you work once the fruits and vegetables are col­ lected, the better will they retain their nutritive quaUties. Everything should be in readiness so there is no time lost going from step to step. If jars are stored in a cool, dark place there is a better chance of their keeping their vitamins and minerals.

Look at the cinematic cads who have become idols of mil- tions, aU because they gave out with that certain schmaltz when they smiled and got tough. Squish a grapefruit in a lady’s pan and become an international idol. Fight the frails, fool ’em, kick ’em in the teeth. That’s right, boys, be a gold plated heel. There’s fame in being infamous; success in being snide; luxury in being a louse. Alan Ladd, who hauls home more fan mail than the rest of the Paramount boys, coUected his claque through rugged, hair-on-the- chest snarls and being quick on the draw. He was an overnight sensa­ tion in the role of the Raven. “This Gun for Hire” put Ladd in the top money class.“Mask of Dimitrios” brought im­ mediate celebrity to Zacbary Scott, who played the most baleful bum possible. He wasn’t even nice to his mother.“Evil appeals- to the romantic,” said Scott, who’s right back being s w i n i s h in “Strange Honey­moon,” since he’s finished "Hold Autumn in Your Hand.” “It’s human nature to want to kick over the traces and be unconven­ tional. Don’t ask me why. But so few people have the nerve. Cases of wishful thinking are universal Evil somehow is regarded as colorful and evildoers are thought to have intes­ tinal fortitude for daring to be what they are. "The public seems to find escap­ism in pictures about evil, and the sinners themselves are looked upon as fascinating because they’re dan­ gerous, and danger appeals to the multitude because it offers respite from routine,” says the new devil hero, Scott. Evil Lingers On ~ Although “Public Enemy” was produced years ago, that touching sequence wherein James Cagney wallops Mae Clarke with a grape­ fruit is still recalled but lovingly by the baddies. That performance definitely estab­lished Cagney in motion pictures. Today he’s starring in independent productions produced by his brother Bill, and has just finished a new rugged portrayal in “Blood on the Sun.” Clark Gable owes his start to dirty doings in a sagebrush thriller, “The Painted Desert.” Gable hadn’t even been heard of before when he was hired for that job. But with the release of “The Painted Desert” all worries ceased for Gable. He snagged an M-G-M contract and everlasting fame. From Pasadena Playhouse obscu­ rity to a dynamic bit as a downed Nazi aviator who provided Greer Garson a few horrible minutes in “Mrs. Miniver” is the tale of Hel­ mut Dantine.

After reading a lot about the Ger­ man atrocities which seemed hard to believe. I finally happened to see one yesterday, and for the first time re­ alized just what we’re really np gainst. Things like this are hard to believe until they are actually wit­ nessed. WhentheRnssianswereon their big offensive, the Nazis march ed thousands of Russian prisoners of war from East Prussia into Berlin, end later to Gardelegen, the site of the Nazi crematory or murder fac tory. When the Americans were driving west.to east into the heart of Germany, the Nazis became pan icky, and what were they to do with all their PW’s? They finally decided on their plan. They forced hundreds Of PW’s to dig trenches, and then ;Bhot them, and later filled in the ^trenches- In one of these trenches .we saw several bodies. .. In a barn which had the floor cov­ ered with gasoline-soaked straw, 300 'Russian prisoners were locked. The guards then tossed flares and incindi aries into the barn, igniting the straw and bnrning the occupants a live. It was a horrible sight with body that had a leg or head blown off. .Someofthe Russians attemp- ted to escape by digging under the floor, but were shot down on the Spot as we could see bullet holes in their heads. In order that a few members of the so-called "master :race” might escape well-earned pun­ ishment for a short while, hundreds .of Russians, so near freedom, had to Suffer such a horrible death. The stsncb in this vicinity was enough for any man to remember the sight of this barn. A friend, ' PVT. CECIL E. WHITAKER.

Harvest Clover Seed Inviewofthe critical needs for addi­tional supplies of legumes and clover crop seeds J. N. Smoot Chairman. Davie County AAA Committee nrges all Davie County fanners to harves their 1945 crop of crimson clover seed. ‘There is a great demand for these seed; harvesting payments ate available under the 1945 AAA Program; and, a ready market awaits all the seed that can be secured,'* Mr. Smoot said. “At a rate of 5359 per acre. Davie Countv farmers may earn op to 587.50 per farm under the 1345 AAA plan by harvesting seed from a good growth of crimson clover, ted clover, annual. ry eg re ss or vetch, or mixture of vetch and small grain,'* the AAA leader declared. He pointed out thar this prac­ tice allowance. Mr. Smoot cited the value of Iegues and grasses in maintaining and restoring fer­ tility to. land under wartime strain of peak production and as a crop to combat erosion, saving that "there Ius been an unusually heavy heavy drain on rase supplies and farmers should harvest their seed to make sore that there will be a sufficient supply for new seedings this faff. Davie County farmers who harvest crim­son clover seed this year are offered market for any good quality seed, that they do not need, through the purchase program of the Commodity Credit Corpo­ration, he said. “Top grade crimson clov­er seed produced in this a tea will we pur­chased at $12.50 per hundred pound for cleaned and bagged seed delivered to de­ signated dealers.” The purchase program is similar to that In effect last year and is designed to en­ courage seed production by providing pro­ ducers fair returns and, at the same time, make seed available to farmers at reason­ able prices. Complete information concerning the seed purchase program may be obtained from the Davie County AAA Office. Sheffield News. Many tobacco growers say blue m has damaged their tobacco plants. Mn.

Gl I D R B W , AN IN SID E STORT H arry T rum an w ill be known as the m an who didn’t w ant to be P resid en t U nassum ing, m odest, in love with his job as senator from M issouri, H arry never w anted to be vice president in the first place. And after he w as elected, he dreaded the thought th at anything m ight hap­ pen to P resident Roosevelt. Once, during the cam paign, he awoke in a cold sw eat. H e had dream ed that Roosevelt had died and he w as called upon to assum e his m antle. H arry said he never had such a ter­ rible dream before in all his life. T rum an had arrived in Speaker Sam R ayburn’s office to discuss that aw esom e possibility when the call cam e to hurry to the W hite House. On W ednesday, the night before, Speaker R ayburn had had a pre­ m onition of things to com e. Dining with friends, R ayburn said: “ This country is in for a great tragedy, and I feel it’s com ing very soon. I don’t think the P resident will be w ith us m uch longer.” R ayburn’s listeners w ere shocked. When they asked the speaker for an explanation, he replied: “ Roosevelt’s not a w ell m an.” Refusing to be m ore specific, he turned his head aw ay from the table for a m om ent and then said: “I think I’ll have a talk w ith H arry (T rum an) tom orrow . H e’s got to be prepared to carry a tre­ m endous burden. H e’s got to get him self ready for this.” N ext afternoon, about three, even as F ranklin Roosevelt w as entering his last hour of life, R ayburn called over to Tru­ m an’s office in the senate, said he w anted to see the vice president. T rum an said he’d drop over w hen the senate re­ cessed. He had just arrived to see R ayburn w hen w ord cam e from Steve E arly th at the event w hich T rum an so long dreaded, finally had transpired. TRUM AN’S OLD STAMPING GROUND It has been a long tim e since a P resident of the U nited States w ent up to Capitol hill Jo confer with congressm en. H ow ever, it didn’t Beem a t all unusual w hen P res. ■ H arry T rum an cam e up to the sen­ ate for lunch on the first day he served as President of the U nited ^States. Also he didn’t act any dif­ ferently. “I feel ju st as if som eone had •lit m e over the head w ith a 16-’ pound m allet,” he said. “I . don’t . know w hat’s happened to m e yet. “ This m orning,” he continued, “ I w anted to come up on the hill to see m y old riends, and they tried to ^ tell m e it w asn’t done. “ ’Done or not,’ I replied, ‘I ’m i going to do it.’ , “ B ut when I w ent out to get m y car, I found it surrounded by m otor- ] cycles. They took m e up to the hill and caused a terrible com m otion on \ the street. They even stopped peo­ ple from crossing the street.” A t this point, M ajority L eader Alben B arkley said: “ T hat’s just w hat happens to a country boy when he gets in your spot.” T rum an laughed and con­ cluded: “ Som e day I hope they’ll build a tunnel betw een congress and the W hite House so the P resident can com e up here w ithout blocking traffic.” T rum an also told his old con­ gressional colleagues th at he hoped they would come down to see him . “ I m ay not alw ays agree with you,” he said, “but I ’ll give your request all the con­ sideration I think it is w orth.” M ichigan’s R epublican Senator .Vandenburg piped up a t this point to ask, “ Couldn’t you give it ju st a lit­ tle m ore consideration than you think it’s w orth?” They all agreed th a t the P resi­ dency hadn’t spoiled H arry and they didn’t think it would. COURAGEOUS SENATOR Though H arry T rum an dreaded the possibility of becom ing P resi- . dent, as senator he never ra n aw ay from a fight. H is chief senatorial battles w ere as chairm an of the so-called Tru­ m an com m ittee. The nam e resulted from H arry ’s crusading determ ina­ tion to investigate w ar scandals or anything else interfering w ith the w ar. H arry w as so fervent that even R epublicans on the com m ittee cam e to adm ire and respect him . R epublican Senator Ferguson of M ichigan, one of the m ost fearless m en in congress, joined the com ­ m ittee under the im pression that T rum an w as playing politics. He soon learned to the contrary. If the adm inistration w as to blam e, Tru­ m an said so. Ferguson cam e to be a rooter on the T rum an team . Tim e after tim e also, T rum an stood up . against the arm y and navy. Som e senators put their tails betw een th eir legs w here the brass-hats are concerned. B ut not Trum an. H e also told the tru th about Jesse Jones’ delays in provid­ ing synthetic rubber, exposed the secret deal w ith Hie Alum i­ num corporation for the Ship- Shaw plant in C anada, prodded the navy for failing to accept th e H iggins landing craft, thus delaying the fateful E uropean invasion.

A N O T H E R big league baseball season is w ell on its w ay. W e w ere thinking about this a s w e sa t bn the Y aidtee bench w ith A rt F letcher, Joe M c­ C arthy’s field m a r­ shal. A rt began his baseball career 38 y ears ago and he is still a spark-plug, nearing 60, lean, hard and full of fire. We soon started talking about the Yankees and the n e w A m e r i c a n le a g u e p e n n a n t race. “ This should be a g reat race,” he told m e. “ I know m any a re pick­ ing the Brow ns to w in again, and m aybe they w ill, as they haven’t suffered m uch from the draft so far. But if w e can keep the lineup we have today, I still believe the Y ankees have a g re a t chance. “No com plaining, you understand, but the Y ankees have taken the w orst beating from the d raft in base- oall—D ickey, G ordon, DiM aggio, H enrich, Ruffing, Rizzuto, K eller, H em sley, Johnson, and I could give you ten m ore. Now w e s ta rt a new season w ith a pretty good club. A ball club good enough to win—or finish close-up. B ut suppose we lose Iohnny Lindell, Snuffy Stim w eiss, E tten and one o r tw o m ore? Then we a re pretty well shot. No one knows w hat w ill happen for the Browns are pretty w ell set, and they are the team to beat—w ith w hat they have on hand right now.” Over in the National A fter leaving A rt F letcher, we called on two other pilots, M el O tt and Leo D urocher. M el, who m akes several records every tim e he w alks to the plate, refused to concede anything to the C ardinals and P irates, picked to ru n 1-2. “ M aybe they w ill,” M el said. “ B ut only m aybe. The C ardinals look best on copy paper and the P irates look next best. B ut ball gam es are won on the field—not on copy paper. All I can say is th a t our 1945 G iant team- w ill give them all a battle. We lav e an im proved team all along ihe line. W e’ll have better pitching and a better punch. You know what th at m eans. You don’t have to :ell m e w hat the C ardinals and P i­ rates have., B ut I am conceding them nothing. W e’ll give them a scrap all the w ay, m oving on w ith what we have. W hat w e’ll have Iat- ;r, no one know s.” I happen to know th at' F ran k irrisch, disabled all through the spring cam paign, has full faith in nis P irates. “We w ere good enough to beat the Cardinals nine straight gam es down the stretch,” F ran k said, “ and they won’t be any b etter this season. If as strong.” B ut the fact rem ains th a t the C ar­ dinals are still the team they m ust all w orry about—and they all know ft—w hatever they m ay say. As Leo D urocher p u t it, “Any team th a t can beat out the C ardi- aals can win this pennant. The D odgers? No. We a re the guess team of the league, and I’m not go­ ing to try any early season guess­ ing.” In talking over the 1945 ratin g w ith a num ber of ball players, m anagers and old tim ers who have been around—I picked up this order of finish for the tw o pennants: _ NaHonal League—C ardinals, P i­ rates, G iants, R eds, Cubs, B raves, Dodgers, Phillies. A m erican L eague — B r o w n s , Yankees, T igers, R ed Sox, AthleU cs, Indians, W bite Sox, Senators. In any event the m ain problem seem s to be St. Louis and its tw o 1944 w inners. They a re the team s io stop.* * * Army Sports Program The arm y is going to do all it can ,0 provide entertainm ent and phys­ ical fitness for the fighting m en in Europe, who sim ply can’t be rushed home. H ere is Hie general idea in behalf of the m illions left in E urope, tem porarily at-least, a s given to m e from the w ar office in W ashington— “ The Com m anding G enerals of the E uropean and M editerranean T heaters have estim ated th at over 60 per cent of the soldiers w ithin their com m ands w ill elect to participate h the new athletic program .

Fury entered the first bar, where the other customers began to laugh at him for some unknown reason. Melody walked up to the general store. In a flare of temper he knocked down a man, called Ira, tor whistling at a girl. Melody then entered the store and ordered canned food, which the owner re­ fused to accept payment tor. He picked op Fury, and the girl Melody bad pre­ viously seen came running op to Melody. She kissed him, then said it was unsafe In town and for them to follow her out The girl, Cherry, went after their horses while they waited out of sight. CHAPTER IV Nothing happened to stop th eir jid e out of PayneviH e. G eorge F u ry , ■who had decided he had to die there, felt as if he had slipped a stirrup, which is about th e sam e a s m issing the top step in the d ark ; but in half an hour Payneville w as a peculiar m em ory, lost behind the lazy roll of the plain. Riding a t th e hub of th e buck- board, M elody kept sliding sidelong glances a t the profile of the girl as she drove the team . H er m outh w as draw n down a little a t th e corners, and her eyes w ere hidden by h e r h a t brim ; she avoided looking around at him . She w as w atching the badlybroken mustangs, which were slash* ing about in the harness as they loped. He let his pony d rift sidew ays un­ til he w as stirru p to stirru p w ith George F ury. “Loco w eed n ev er drove no crit­ ter thet crazy. T het g irl know s you, and knows you good—too good -to be fooled. Looky h ere, M elody— you m ind la st y e ar w hen you w as kicked in th e head a t Cheyenne? You w as m issing four days. You sure you didn’t m a rry nobody, or nothing, w hile you w as out of your head?" “I w asn’t any m ore out of m y haid than you,” M elody said coolly. “Anyway,” he added w ith less con­ fidence, “I thunk of th at. She says she’s never been in Cheyenne.” George F u ry looked h ard a t M elo­ dy. He shrugged his gaunt shoul­ ders, and looked grim . Now the girl beckoned to Melody to ride closer; she pulled the team to a slogging trot. “Do you want to do one thing for rue’” she asked him. lIam f “ Take off your h a t.” He looked a t h e r in bew ilderm ent. “ I w ant to see som ething," she ex­ plained. M elody slow ly took off h is floppy som brero, and she looked a t him closely, w ith such concentration th a t he reddened. "I w ant you to keep your h air clawed down over your left eye,” she told him . “ Ju st like it is now.” “M am ?” he said ; and she re ­ peated it. Slowly he p u t his h a t b ack on. “ W hy?” he asked a t last. “As a favor to m e. A personal favor. Is it a big thing to ask ?” “H ey look,” he shouted over the trundle of th e w heels. “H ey—” She shot him a n inquiring sm ile, but as she turned h e r head, she le t the driving lines slack, and the fflUS* tangs plunged into a ran, TheW t- board careened and bounded into Il “ W hat?” “N othing!” “Speaking of uncles,” M elody said, “I fetched this h ere off a post down in th e tow n.” H e gave G eorge the bit of paper.

H e fixed his gaze on Mel­ ody’s profile and his eyes w ere w eird. “M elody,” he said a t last, his w ords m uffled, “w hat in all hell is eating you?” “ Y ou know, G eorge,” M elody said slow ly, “in all m y life I ain’t ever been so low in m y m ind as I been in this la st half hour, h ere.” “ W e’ll git out of this all right,” G eorge said. “N o, G eorge; no, it ain’t that.'B ut, you know , back there in Payneville, w hen we rode in—it seem ed a t first like the whole w orld w as changed. N othin’ like it ever happened to m e before. I taken and w alked down th e street, and people stood back to leave m e pass. I taken and w ent up to a b ar, and people give m e room .

F o r a little w hile there, I guess I thunk I w as som ebody m y self/’ “ I can’t never be M onte Ja rra d ,” M elody said. “ B ut—I can be the feller th a t caught up w ith him !” A round sundown they clim bed a quarter-m ile of ragged side-trail, the w heels of the buckboard tilting chancily over the rock ledges; and came out on a mountain crag where clung a w eathered ranch house, a sagging b am , and som e sketchy cor­ rals. W ithin the erratic fences an “ Howdy, boy, howdy.” unnecessary num ber of ten-dollar m ustangs clim bed about the rock and steeps.

G eorge F u ry spoke to M elody through a buttonhole in his gaunt cheek, screened by his m ustache. “ W hat’s the idee stoppin’ here?” “ M aybe it’s her. hom e.” “ WeH, it ain’t m y hom e! L et’s h e ar you n am e ju st one thing it could get u s to off-saddle here?” “ A m eal,” M elody said. “ Goodbye,” said G eorge savage­ ly, m aking as if to tu rn his horse. M elody ignored the threat. “I been thinkin’,” he said. "G eorge, you know som ething? I’m bait.” “W hat?” “ I figured out th e reason she drug us aU th e w ay out here. I see now w hy she ru n up to m e and m ade out like I w as M onte. I see it ju st as plain. It’s so’s th e posse would tak e out after m e, and chase m e.” “ I t took you all th e w ay out here to figure out th a t? ” “ W ell, it’s som e forw arder than I w as w hen I started .” “ This is w onderful," G eorge said. "T his is th e b est thing happened yet. So now you and h e r have got it fixed th a t a posse tak es out and ru n s u s to hell and gone!” “ I don’t see how they kin,” Melo­ dy said. “ W hy can’t they?” “ B ecause I don’t aim to go no place. You can g it them to chase you, if you w ant to, G eorge.” Now a rangy, gangling figure cam e out of th e ran ch house, letting the broken screen door slam to w ith a bang th a t lifted the b ear cub a foot. T he m an w ho cam e tow ard M elody w ith enorm ous looping strides w as of exceptional height, of the high- pockets design—spidery of lim b, nar­ row-chested-, w ith a sm all head. The gun th a t slatted against his bony thigh looked out of place, a s if hung upon a tree. “Howdy, boy, howdy,” he baw led nasally. H is long slit of a m outh w as bracketed by a m ustache so narrow and drooping it w as alm ost C hinese. “ It’s good to see you. It’s been a long tim e!" A s he-drew closer and got to wind­ w ard, M elody noticed the sm ell ol forty-rod. H e looked the ta ll m an over cooUy from the saddle, but as the stranger cam e to his stirrup he could1 not refuse the offered hand. It felt like a' fistful of dry m esquite. "C herry sent A very out w ith w ord you w as here. Com e out here, Av­ ery! H e’s spilin’ the grub,” he ex­ plained to M elody. So her nam e’s -Cherry, M elody thought. H e looked a t h er to see how the nam e fitted. She had stepped down, and w as unharnessing the buckboard team . G eorge F ury had been w atching M elody to catsh any sign of recog­ nition in M elody# face. G eorge w as looking very grim . “ I crave to ask jist a couple o’ things,” George said, carefully po­ lite; then hesitated. Since this Aft­ ernoon he had a sensitivity about certain questions. “W hat , ranch is this,” he got it out, “ and who are you?” The girl called C herry spoke in a quick m um ble from behind her horse. “ You’ve heard speak of Ros­ coe Sym es, Paw . I guess you never ra n into him —but th at’s him . Re­ m em ber?” G eorge could not see, but M elody saw , a s she tapped h er forehead. H er lips form ed the w ord, “ Differ­ ent," “Shore, I remember," the tall man said. “M onte’s u n d e, eh?” H e slid off into the patronizing sm ile th at G eorge F u ry h ad seen before, and spoke as if to a child.! “ I’m F ever C rick de Longpre,” he told G eorge. “R eckon you heard M onte speak of m e. You know—C herry’s paw ?” C herry de Longpre — M elody thought—th a t’s right, p retty ; and-this long m ix of chills and snake-oil is h er old m an. W ell, you never know. “ This here 'little lay-out,” F ev er C rick de Longpre w as saying, “w e call the B usted N ose, on account of our brand. W e started to have it th e Flying W, but A very tripped and fell, and bent our branding iron on a rock, w hile it w as hot. It won’t burn a ‘W’ any m ore. B ut it looks as m uch like a busted snoot as a m an could ask.” “ O h?” M elody said. The man who came out of the ranch house now was of unplaceable age—he might have been years old­ er than Melody, or he might have been eighteen. I can’t tell, Melody teeth, Even before he appeared, M elody had sensed him lurking be­ hind the ill-m atched boards of the kitchen, w atching M elody Jones and G eorge F ury, estim ating them both. And w hen he left the ram shackle house he left it em pty; som ehow M elody knew th at, too. H is strung- up senses w ere telling him things he could not have decided w ith his head. H e w atched A very de Longpre’s face. H e didn’t m uch like the flat­ m uscled cheek bones, nor the hard line of the jaw , bulged faintly by a m eag er chew of tobacco. B ut espe­ cially he didn’t like the sm all pale eyes, expressionless as gooseberries, and the sam e color. T here w as a w eight of im m ovable sullenness be­ hind A very de L ongpre’s unfetching pan. "Hello, Monte ” Avery said. He made a vague gesture of salute, but to shake hands; and the green eyes d away Irow tle W s fl«lliea away stare. “ Chuck’s up,” A very said. H is speech w as dull and thick; he hard­ ly opened his jaw s for it. “ L ight and w e'll eat.” M elody Jones paid less attention to the m en and m ore to C herry de L ongpre; she m et his eyes seldom ,, and h er face w as still. She busied herself w aiting on them , and the poor light from the hurricane lam ps helped h er face to be undisclosing. She h ad . got a clean red-check­ ered cloth on to the plank-and-tres- tie table, and the cooking stuff on th e w all—copper, brass, and ir o n - shone very d e a n . This streak of good order suggested th a t these things w ere C herry’s, though the ranch itself, w ith its shaky tu t and dilapidation, w as the m en’s respon­ sibility. She w as p rettier th an he h ad thought, m uch prettier, and he w as sorry to see this. If a girl had to se t out to do him w rong, he w ished it could have been a hom ely girl, w ith one of these h ere hay- bag figures, and a hostile look. F ev er C rick, w ho w as talking con­ tinuously, in an obvious effort to m ake a good im pression on M elody, kept apologizing for the w retched lay-out, and trying to explain i t I t needed all th e apology it could get. I t w as less a house th an a shack, and, except for a broad gallery on tw o sides, w ould never have been m istaken by even a w andering cow­ boy for anything else. F ev er C rick said it w as “ previous to th e sum* m er,” w hatever th a t m eant, and ob­ scurely necessary for horse ranch­ ing. B ut M elody could feel the girl’a disidain, w henever h e r fath er spoke. B ut now he perceived, unexpect­ edly, th a t he h ad th e girl in an even m ore puzzling position than th a t in w hich he found him self. Sbe had se t him u p to be M onte Ja rra d , for purposes of h e r own, w ithout even know ing his nam e. B ut probably she hadn’t figured on his ju st casu­ ally insisting on being the exact person she had m ade him out to be.

N ations as w ell a s people com e to crossroads in th eir history, and taking th e w rong road then m eans future disaster. Solomon had built up a g re a t national prosperity, but a t th e expense of heavy ta x e s .'He had forgotten God, and w as suc­ ceeded by a son who. followed in his footsteps. O ffered an opportunity to ease the burden of the people (I K ings 12-14) , R ehoboam in his folly m ade it great­ er, and the nation w as divided.- The ten northern tribes, w h ich '. w ere, henceforth to be known , as Israel, followed Jeroboam , and the tw o southern tribes under Rehoboam be­ cam e the kingdom of Judah. Jeroboam started .with God’s favor, and m ight have led his.people aright, but instead he becam e the king whose nam e stood for w icked- ness (see II Kings 15:18). The story of that downfall is a sad picture of unbelief and failure. I. ReUgion M eets Politics (I K ings 12:26-30). Jerusalem , now in the riv al king­ dom of Judah, w as the' center of H ebrew w orship. W hile the people of Israel w ere free to go there to w orship, Jeroboam saw ' th a t it m ight, lead to their being led aw ay from him . It w as a shrew d political deduction, b u t it left God out of the picture. H e established new ,cen ters of w orship, w here calves of gold w ere set up. They were_ probably in­ tended to be a sym bol of God, blit they bespeak the folly of m ixing w orldly things w ith the things of God. They becom e an abom ination and a snare. The people responded to the ap­ p aren t interest of the king in their welfare, and worshiped at the Aiost convenient place. Religion had met politics, and had le t politics tak e the upper hand. Someone \has suggested that our religion easy, we can be cer­ tain th a t it is the enem y of our souls who is a t w ork. W hen Satan begins to be solicitous about our w elfare and suggest th a t it is too fa r to go to church, o r th a t the w eather is too cold (or too w arm ), etc., etc., w e should be on guard. Religious ease w as a big step dow nw ard for Israel, and it can be for any other nation. W here does A m erica stand in th a t im portant m atter? H . A Q neen M eets a P rophet (I K ings 19:1-4, 13b-18). E lijah under the m ighty hand of God had defied the w icked king, A hab, and Iiis m ore w icked queen, Jezebel; yes, and all the prophets of B aal, and had been gloriously victorious (I K ings 18:17-41). The queen, who w as devilish in her wickedness and determination to destroy the worship of the true God, threatened the prophet. He who h ad Aiet the challenge of the' IiiM I ;nieis Dai In leai before the relentless h atred of tills venom ous w om an. The prophet felt th a t all w as lost, but God revealed to him th at even in th a t dark day there w ere m any who w ere still tru e to H im (v. J.8 ). It is a precious and encouraging bit* of light in an otherw ise d ark scene. Oinr m ain interest in this lesion is not the experience <Jf the prophet, but in seeing th e cause of Israel’s downfall. H ere we see one great reason—every king of Israel w as a w icked m an. Som e w ere b etter and som e w orse, but all of them forgot God. A nation is on the dow nw ard path w hen its rulers 'fo rg e t G od.'W hat about our own nation? W hat about the elected representatives of the people? Do w e choose m en for pub­ lic office because of th eir C hristian faith and character, or on the basis of political expediency o r af­ filiation? III. A N ation M eets Its Doom (II K ings 17:7, 8 ). The hour h ad struck w hen God’s heavy hand of judgm ent had to fall on Israel, the northern kingdom of 10 tribes. V erse 6 of this chapter relates their carrying aw ay into cap­ tivity to A ssyria, and verses 7-9 teU us the reason for th a t judgm ent. Ingratitude for God’s blessing (v. 7) led to th e w orship of other gods (v. 8 ). They knew God’s h atred for the sin of idolatry, and His judgm ent upon those who w alked in th a t w ay, but they w ent' right on. N ote in verse 9 th a t these things w ere done “secretly.” “The sam e thing is true today of m any who profess to be the people of God. The line of dem arcation betw een the church and the w orld is not clearly draw n. W e do w ell to note care­ fully Uie outcom e of this course of procedure on Israel’s p a rt (w . 6 , 18). The fact th a t Israel did these things secretly did not hide them from th e eyes of Jehovah (P s. 139: I, 2; H eb. 4:13)” (John W.

Did you ever see children pout* Of course yon have.’ Something goes wrong with them, or crosses their path, or they get mad at someone, then they try to get even bv pouting. Mavbe they won’t speak for a long ,ime, or hide a- wav and try to make father or mo­ ther, brother or sister, friend or playmate feel bad by pouting. Maybe they even refuse to eat a meal, and if someone tries to fix it up with them they look sour, or angrv, and perhaps stick out the under lip. Usually those who pout assume a sullen spirit somewhat like the old opossum. They are stnbborn, look very sour and won’t speak. Well, such a spirit in a child is bad. It is the spirit of old satan that overpowers them. And pouting not only makes the pouter feel bad. but it also makes others feel bad. It has its effect, but a bad effect. But the spirit of pouting doesn’t always stop with children; it mani fests itself in men and women some­ times, I once knew a man and his wife who had pouted with each other for several years. They wouldn’t speak to each other, and if they wanted to communicate they did it through the children, ot some member of the family’. I don't know who was to blame, but maybe both were Now that cer­ tainly was a bad way to live. Don’t yon know it made home seem miserable instead of happy? Ponting hearts are never happy hearts. Look at that poor man who pouts with bis wife. Poor, sullen, sour, miserable man! And then he makes it miserable for his wife unless she prays much, keeps victory io her soul, keeps sunny and happy In spite of it all, and rises above it like a towering mountain above the swamps and bogs that lay around its base. That is possible, but it certainly takes groat grate and the blessed presence of God to accom­ plish it. The spirit of- pouting is a mighty hateful spirit. Certainly it is of the devil and. never of God. Why, some folks even claim to be Chris­ tians and then pout with their bro thers and sisters in the church, or pout with members of the family. This reveals anything but Christ- likeness. We know that Christi* anity never makes folks pout. The devil doss this. Christianity makes folks sunny, pleasant, sweet, kind, friendly, patient, gentle, noble and good. Don’t pout and say you are following in the footprints of Jesus and Xoing with the saints heaven ward, but get rid of the pouting spirit. It is too mean, ugly, re­ pulsive and contemptable to pos sess. Repent, get forgiveness, then consecrate your so'ul unto God and let Him sanctify you and make you sweet. Amen.

April 24.—World shortages of textiles, coal, truck and other commodities are so severe as to endanger a secure peace, the combined production and resources board said today. The board, made op of top pro. duction experts of the United States Britain and Canada, in a report is­ sued a "plain warning” that "with the liberation of many destitute millions and a war devasted areas” the situation is becoming incress ing critical "Some of these short supply problems may easily worsen and at present we see no quick and easy solution/’ said an accompanying statement b v W a r Production Chairman J. A. Krng, American member of the combined board. "It is only fair,” he continued, that we give this warning and point up its implication to every, one.” Joining Krug in issuance of the report were Oliver Lyttelton, Brit ish members of the board and min Lster of production, and Canadian member C. D. Howe, minister of munitions. The shortage of cotton textiles a- lone eventually will grow to at least 1,250,000.000 yards a year, the board predicted. . Disruptiou of Eu* rope’s transportation system, it ad­ ded, has thrown the burden of sup ply on motor trucks, while coal is critically scarce not only in the H berated counties but in the United Slates and the United Kingdom as well. The end of the war in Europe, the board said, may release a sub. stantial number of military trucks and "materially help the situation.” Folly Brooght Home Practically everyone is in the babit of blaming the war exclusive­ ly for the dangerous growth of government control over the people. Tbe plain fact is that the country was beaded for such contiol long before war started. The war did no more than greatly speed up the trend. The underlying canse of attempt to freeze prices, wages and other costs can be described in four words —government spending beyond in. come. Fot years the people have been warned of what this kind of spending was leading to. War has brought home the follv of annual government deficits without limit, in a way that will be remembered for many generations. The war will not end the "emer­ gency” of borrowed money. Tbatb why some people wLo tear the con­ sequences of excessive goverment borrowing, are turning to increas. ingly dictatorial government, in hope of escaping the inevmeot price of unlimited government borrow, ing. It is a vicious circle—the more the government borrows, the more it must control. The only winners will be .those hrho want to see A mericau representative government and the freedom of the people de. stroyed. The only ones who can break the circle are the people themselves by revolting against both peacetime borrowing and regula­ tion.—Ex. We Have Oor Choice ' If Russia keeps going to the right, she will wind up as the great est democracy in the world, and if the United States keep going to the left, we will wind up where the Russians were twenty years ago.” —Edwgrd V. Rickenbacker, avia­ tion executive. W H T r t t t f r i * * * * *1f* for/^rsecurity, too! a.*.*:*-*-* * ** * * * * * <* *>_ To SmaOer Towns From the Reidsville Review we reproduce the following editorial which needs no comment to set in motion the minds of our public- spirited citizens; "A recent survery of large In. dust rial firms in the United States shows that one third of them have definitely decided to build new plunts as soon as possible after the war, and that another large per­ centage plans considerable extension to present plants. "Most of these companies will discard present out-moded establish­ ments in order to take advantage of war-time advances in engineering design, equipment, layouts, and machine tools. "More important to the small towns of the nation is the definite indication that these new plants will not be located In the congested city areas. There is & movement to get more light, air, and elbow room and also to shorten the distances between homes and factories for em­ ployes, and to give workers the benefit ot a fuller freer existence to be found away trom congested a- reas which have always been known "These new plants will not be placed willy nilly over the nation, but will be located with reference either to markets or sources of raw materials. But the treni is away from the larger cities and toward the smaller towns. It is. definite, therefore, that the day of the small er communities is not passing—in fact, it may be that they are just coming into their own.” Their Vote WiU TeM "If . there is a strange apactade anywhere in the world today,” says the New York Times, "it is the spectacle of the government of the United States solemnly preparing to poll the coal miners, under its of­ ficial auspices, on the question of whether they want to cripple the American Army and the American Navy with a wartime strike.” Here is a chance for the mem­ bers of one great union to vote No, leave tbeir demands to orderly adjustment, and show they- think more of their country’s welfare than immediately personal gains. Is this too much to aspect of Amer­ ican workmen in a war crisis? The Last Straw Even in Germany, where things are hardly normal, baystackR seldom are found parked across railroad tracks. So 2nd Lt.

New Leziugtou Hospital To Cost Over $300,000 Lexington’s proposed $250,000 community hospital turned out to be well over a $300,000 project when bids were received last week and a whirlwind campaign was im. mediately put under way to raise $75,000 more to supplement cash in sight,tso that the general construc­ tion might be started soon. Low bidders agreed to hold their bids open for 20 days to enable the hos­ pital trustees to gain the financial green light. If the effort succeeds, as leaders express confidence it will, additional funds will be secured later to complete furnishing the hospital and provide a nurses’ home. It is hoped to complete the build- iog by Christmas. Although ro contract awards have been made, it was stated a Gastonia contractor submitted low bid for general con struction. New Dealers And Their Pigs The New Dealers are having more trouble with their pigs. Back in the days of the new economy of planned efficiency, brainy (?) Hen ry Wallace plowed under the little pigs Then when the war started the New Dealers screamed for the farmers to produce more. Last sum­ mer these sa m e New Dealers screamed that the farmers were pro­ ducing too many pigs. Now we have a meat shortage and stringent rationing. Some of the professors and New Dealers may learn, after they have wrecked the country, that there is no substitute for the law of supply and demand and the New Testament.—Ex. A Stroke Of Genius Armv spokesmen are vigorous in their denials that German war pri­ soners in this country are coddled and permitted to lead lives of luxury. It is pointed out that the luxury. It is pointed out that the allowance for prisoner fare is 25 cents per day, and that, admittedly, won’t pay for juicy steaks in these days of high food costs. On the other hand these prisoners excess of 100 million dollars annually, and unless they are ,given sustaining food tbeir strength would soon fail and the value of tbeir labors would vanish. There may have been isolated in­ stances where treatments of these prisoners was kinder tban warrant­ ed, but that comes to a sudden end now. The decision to place liberat­ ed American war prisoners in charge of German war prisoner camps and activities in this country is a stroke of genius. Men who have suffered at Nazis hands will not be likely to coddle their charges, and while there may be howls of protest from the enemv; our own peopie will hail the new arrangement as evidence that the government as evidence that the government and the Army are heed­ ing public demand for sterner treat­ ment of Nazis captives.—Ex.

Se matter what we think the best answer to peace is, we must come sad ef this meeting with a final for- aada for international relationships. lSh do this we must give and take, lad essentially we must make a be* PnBtng toward peace. VK CANNOT FAIL We have taken two or three big laiitiul steps (Atlantic charter, Dum­barton, Livadia) and we are now XEady for the next. We must suc­ceed In this one. We cannot afford tefiafi. We cannot stick it out for perfection. We must make some atari; whatever it is. This is the explanation behind all XocenA Roosevelt - Truman inter- waHrml policy developments as well as fhe official background tone and Wdde for the conference. In my opinion, there was a time ■few weeks back when the. late Mr. KaeseveR and his State Secretary BhHIiiiii may have had their doubts about going ahead. Their inability V gain their most important adjectives for small nations and full V nw ntic freedoms universally UBQ well have disappointed them, SBd at that time there was a chance M s conference, might have been KvMentiy they decided in favor of fhe above outlined course, and' Ace then after direct request, Brit-, ate changed its mind and sent its' Xkcrign Minister Eden and Stalin SlBBged and sent the equally rank- Vg Molotov. This conference, in accord­ ance with these objectives, is to Be thrown wide open. It is to Be a free forum for airing the MBts of the tittle people pri­ marily. Officially, Mr. Stettiiiins has been saying it will last four Br five weeks, but is more likely to last a couple of months. Itiscussion of everything is to be adtowed. Every nation will be in­ vited to say all it wishes. The Dumbarton Oaks setup is to be thrown literally upon the table, as if to say to all: “Here it is; go to it.” Any hope that such a program Baa be concluded in four or five ;weeks is therefore, concededly op- •Senistic. In the end, if there are "not too I many changes” in the Dumbarton lPRgcisal, the conference will be Sudged by this government to have iihren a success. ALTERNATIVE TO PLAN , Kbw some authorities may well :<BBer with these fundamental con- ritasfeos of the government. The ve to Dumbarton Oaks is .— necessarily chaos or another riorid war. Rather it is bi-lateral ,Bgreements or hemisphere defense ;«r spheres of influence maintained by individual understandings and jaffiances and substitute courses for These do not necessarily re- ; «rin wars, or make them any ; name likely, than a weak or im- ’ jtn tk ti formula for a league, ,'wfeiimng, as this one does, the < right of Mg nations to veto any feteference with their own wars y —and no disarmament. i K Si unreasonable to say that un- any specific course is followed i will be another world war, or, emotional extremist Mr. , to contend that anyone who st his tariff views is “ad- I another world war.? a’s excuse for at first de^ to> send an inferior ranldng to this world conference ver made public, but it was privately and officially to Eoosevelt and Mr. Stettinius. i Kremlin pointed out to them Molotov was not Only the for- minister in the Soviet setup fiie second man of the Stalin Stalin said he could Qare Molotov from his side aa long a period Just at the WOlfcal time of victory in Etnppe, fund because his government is des- mtmtrly shorthanded on diplomats.

If you have any luncheon obliga­tions, take care of them during the spring. You have the fresh colors of spring flowers to help out your table motif and a gardenful of fresh fruit and crisp green vegetables.Yes, give your luncheons hi spring. A group of feminine guests won’t expect the hearty substantial affair that a male gathering would, so you can lay aside the ration book and concentrate on point-free foods. There are eggs, plentiful in spring, asparagus, tomatoes, greens, straw­ berries and rhubarb. AU make col­ orful and delectable eating.Your table will be pretty carried out in the delicate shades of green and pale pink, green and yellow, or pale blue gray and yellow. Do have flowers If it’s at aU possible because they make for freshness and gaye- ty. Or, work out an attractive ar­ rangement in fruit. A fresh pine­ apple surrounded with oranges and shiny apples draped with grapes is effective. My first suggestion is for a scal­loped dish of eggs and tomatoes which is a pretty blending of white, yellow and touches of green awl red. •Scalloped Eggs and Tmnatoes.

To rip seams from garments, use a pair of tweezers for pulling' out toe shorter threads. Shine dull glassware by rubbing a cut piece of lemon over it.

G M tm A N D fi/CE GrantlandRice VXfHEN this war is over, and thev expected boom in every form of^ sport comes along, there is cer­tain to be a big need for much stronger supervision than we have today. This includes baseball, rac­ ing, football, boxing and basketball above most of toe others. For these are I the major spec-, tator and big money games. This isn’t a mat­ ter of today or next w eek or n e x t month. It is a mat­ ter of the big tangle and scramble that is coming after the war is over when there will be al­ most countless prob­lems to face and handle, including the return home of millions of serv­icemen, many of these hoping and expecting to make a liriity out of professional' sport. You can see what happened when three or four unknown basket­ball players, in a New York college almost totally unknown in a na­ tional way, almost wrecked basket­ ball. You can figure what will hap­pen if the same thing occurs to baseball, boxing, racing and football on a bigger scale. Four Big Sports We can take them up in order: Baseball — In my opinion, base­ ball needs a ruling commissioner who will be given full authority to act; who will be well known and respected around toe country; who can pick up where Judge Landis left off. A commissioner with­out these qualifications, without complete authority, would be use­ less. It will be too late in case some scandal breaks. Baseball can’t look tor any such supporting combina­tion as Judge Landis and Babe Ruth to restore public confidence. Racing — Racing is a tougher problem to tackle, due to the jealousies of competing states and the tremendous taxes they gather in.: Yet it is a well-known fact that even before racing was stopped, many chiselers, crooks and gangsters were edging their way into the richest fi­ nancial harvest of all sport, where well over a billion dollars was bet through 1944. Where more than a few jockeys were not above suspi­cion and where general larceny was on toe verge of breaking out at any moment. This applies to all racing states. Only a J. Edgar Hoover could help here, where an annual salary of $100,000 would be excellent insur­ ance. It would take a direct order from Washington to bring this about. But it might be badly needed at any given time later on. Pro Football and Boxing Football—R would be almost im­possible to have any ruling commis­ sioner for college football, as so many sections have their own com­missioners who have different and conflicting ideals and opinions. But pro football faces as many problems as any sport. For one thing, there is the probability of at least one rival league. Be­ yond that is the problem of many returning stars, who still have a year or two years of college play left. Any number of these will de­ cide to play pro football and leave their college careers to the bosky dell. This can not only bring about open warfare between pro leagues, but also a civil football war between the colleges and the pros. It can also lead to any number of scandals. Boxing—Here is one of sport’s greatest needs. Boxing, like racing, has been largely a matter of state regulation. As it is, we have no real boxing control. Champions in one state may be thrown out in another. Boxing and racing are the easiest contests to throw, with more money involved in toe throwing. Especially in the general direction of the gam­ blers — and I mean the crooked gamblers. Boxing needs a com­ missioner or a supervisor more than any other single sport. And it may heed more very badly later on, much more than R needs one at toe moment I have only mentioned four of too major pubUe sports — baseball, rac­ ing, football and boxing. In each Instance they all need a commis- ' ner who is nationally known, who I the respect of toe country at large, who has both honesty and proved ability, and who will also bo given possession of “the iron ad,” when the iron hand is sded. Any form of figurehead.or front man would be. a useless under­ taking.• • • Bob FeUer Returns . Now that he is back in the states, Bob FeUer will be allowed to pitch for his Great Lakes team after two or more years service in the South Pacific. FeUer deserves his break at Great Lakes, after a fine war record. He has had Uttle chance to fiet any active pitching since he won 25 games for Cleveland in 1941, striking out 260 hitters. A lot of rust can develop In that time, but he wiU have the Chance now. to iron out a few kinks. • _ • — SEWING CIRCLE NEEDLECRAFT Sun Suits for Brother and Sister OOOL-comfortable—gaily em- broidered and made of but I yard of material!

German Cities in the Path of Allies’ Advance WORLD LEADERS PICTURE B y Oie th read of one m an 's life hung personal relationships w hich affected nations. P rim e m inisters and potentates, once close to F ran k ­ lin Roosevelt, now m u st learn how to get along w ith an unknow n gentle­ m an in th e W hite House. C ertain arm y-navy officials, who alw ays knew how Roosevelt would re a c t on this and th at, now m ust do business w ith a m an they once criticized. To illustrate how the pendulum of fate has swung, here are som e of those who w ill m iss F ranklin R oosevelt m ost: WINSTON CHURCHILL — w as able to call the late P resident on the telephone a t any tim e night or day. T heir relationship w as m o ie intim ate than w ith m ost m em bei s of their own cabinets. W hen C hurdi- ill couldn’t get Roosevelt, he talked to H arry H opkins. T heir friendshiD w as equally close. H opkins, and C hurchill used to stay up late at night sipping brandy long after FD R h ad gone to bed, and it w as those late-hour talks th a t som etim es w orried U . S. arm y-navy m en. F or vital policy som etim es w as m oulded after m idnight. C hurchill h ad planned to hold n a­ tional elections, probably in June, and Roosevelt’s friendship would have been one of his g reat cam ­ paign assets. T hat asset is now out the window. Instead he m ust do business w ith a m an he doesn’t know and who chairm anned a com m ittee w hose m em bers w ere quite critical of certain B ritish lend-lease and in­ ternational a ir policies abroad. Som e political observers believe th a t m akes C hurchill’s political fu­ tu re very uncertain. ADMIRAL ERNEST E IN G -T h e C om m ander of the F leet and Chief of N aval O perations really ra n the navy under R oosevelt, and he ra n it w ith a high hand. H e ignored the late S ecretary F ran k K nox w hen­ ever he felt like it, knowing he would get a sym pathetic e ar a t the W hite H ouse. H e even overruled Knox on such a trivial m atter as a gray-blue sum m er uniform for the navy, though Knox had decided it would cu t too heavily into the consum ption of textiles. Knox’s successor, S ecretary of the N avy F orrestal, h as played in w ith K ing. H e had to. If K ing didn’t agree w ith him , the adm iral cam e out bluntly in press conference and Caid so. B ut now there is a new m an in the W hite House who w rote a caus­ tic report bitterly critical of the w ay the adm irals slow ed up the w ar by . failure to build adequate landing boats. The new President also did not hesitate to throw his hooks into the navy w henever the b rass hats gpt inefficient, especially on th eir in- ./'e x cu sa b le procrastination in build- ing destroyer-escort vessels. So fellow -adm irals a re w atching to see ju st w here K ing now sits. GENERAL B. B. SOMERVELL— Np arm y officer clashed w ith the . T rum an com m ittee m ore .frequently and m ore head-on than the tough- talking chief supply officer of the arm y.- Som ervell differed w ith Tru- m an on all sorts of things, and the T runian com m ittee reports a re stud­ ded w ith criticism of the arm y’s sup- ply job. ' T rum an is not a m an to nurse personal grudges and won’t dem ote -o r transfer Som ervell. G eneral ’ M arshall alw ays m aintained th at de­ spite m istakes he w as th e best m an they had. B ut Som ervell will never becom e chief of staff, or rise any higher in the arm y. HARRT HOPKINS—Of all those around Roosevelt, H arry H opkins w ill m iss him m ost. T heir’s w as a very d o se personal relationship. A lthough H arry has been criticized - vitriolically, som etim es even by oth­ e r presidential intim ates, FD R nev­ e r w avered in his devotion. In a w ay, H arry took the.place of Roose­ velt’s eldest son, Jim m ie, w hom he . once hoped would be his secretary. Sb H arry w ill m iss his old friend terribly. The critics w ill say th a t Hopkins w ill m iss him because of the glam - ■our, the pow er and the prestige. B ut ■ actually there w as a love and devo­ tion betw een the tw o m en w hich few realized and even few er understood. -■•• Note—Several years ago, Roose­ velt gave'H opkins perm ission to take notes on their discussions and w rite • his m em oirs. “ You have no m oney, I H arry ,” he said, “and you’re foolish if you don’t take notes on our con­ versations. You have m y full per­ m ission to use them later.” B ut Hopkins, alw ays too busy, alw ays engrossed w ith winning the Chief’s next objective, never had tim e to take notes. H e know s m ore about R oosevelt than any other living m an, b ut m ost of the secrets null go w ith H opkins to the grave.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. THE STORT THUS FAR: Melody Jones and his side-rider George Fary rode into Payneville, a cow town on the route to California. Melody got Into an argument with one of the natives/ called Ira. A girl, called Cherryt came Qpon them and told them they were unsafe and had to leave town. She got their horses and directed them out. They saw posters and. then realized «*»* Melody was mistaken fft Monte Jarradr who was wanted for murder, and robbery. They had mistaken Fnry for MontefS half-wit uncle, 4iRoscoe*** When they arrived at Cherry's ranch, Oiey were greeted by a stranger, who also pretended that they were Monte and Roscoe. The stranger was Cherry's brother, Avery, CHAPTER V “It’s certainly nice of you people to take me and my uncle in,” Mel­ ody said with a complacence that chilled George Fury. “I expect we can just as well stay on a while, if it’s all right with you.” He let his eyes wander off into the night as he spoke, but he sensed the stillness that instantly came over Cherry de Longpre and her brother. ‘‘Might even be,” Melody went on, “me and my Uncle Roscoe could bring ourself to do a little work around here, to IHnH of pay for our keep. I see you got plenty horse flesh out there; maybe me and Un­ cle Roscoe will set in to break a few haid, come morning.” He smiled a little, contentedly, and let his eyes slide across the faces of the others to see what ef­ fect this announcement had taken. He got his answer at once. Cherry de Longpre looked Melody squarely and blankly between the eyes. Her tone was cool and per­ fectly level, but there was a shaki­ ness behind it. “Monte,” she said with finality, “it’s time to be on your way.” “Oh, I ain’t in any hurry,” Mel­ody said. Aveiy de Longpre’s words came in a slow whisper. “Oh, yes, you are! ” Until that moment Melody had not known that Avery’s gun was in his hand under the edge S the table. Melody didn't believe that Avery would actually shoot; at least not while everyone sat quiet. If was George Fury who scared Melody. George’s hands gripped the edge of the table, and he had got his heels under him; he could uncoil like a spring from that position. And he was watching Avery like a pointer. Melody knew what George was go­ing to do. He was going to overturn the table on Avery, making the gun miss as it fired, George would hope. That would put out one of the lamps, and probably the old fool would try to kick down the other lantern, which hung from a rafter eight feet from the floor. There was a mo­ment of paralysis. “Take it easy, Uncle Roscoe," Melody said to George Fury. “He’s got his gun in his hands,” George grated. Cherry said quickly, “You shouldn’t clean your gun at the ta­ ble, Avery.” She sounded out of breath. "He’s holdin’ it in his two hands,” George repeated. "Where did you figure he would be holding it,” Melody said, “if he’s cleaning it? In his mouth?”Cherry’s eyes were fixed hard on Melody, ignoring the others. “Sad­ dle your ponies,” she ordered him. “Saddle up and get out of here! Right now!” Melody looked at her without hur­ ry. “You look right pretty when you spark up like that,” he said. “There’s a posse after you,” Cher­ry said desperately. “Can’t you get that through your head? The Poison- berry country is full of men who would be glad to' kill you on sight. You’d be dead now if it wasn’t for me! Now you get out of here, while you still can!”“Shucks, now,” Melody began. “You heard her,” Avery spoke. Fever Crick was sitting goggle- eyed, and his jaw was wobbling; but Avery was steady as a rock. Slowly Melody stood up, and George got warily to-his feet beside him. George never took his eyes from Avery for an instant.“Ride fast,” Cherry said, “and keep going! Don’t turn your horses this side of the line, if- you want to live.”Melody looked at her a* moment, then back to George again. He said sadly, “Well, come on, Uncle Ros­ coe.” Melody and George rode off into the dark at a sullen walk, resenting the push - around. Five hundred yards below the Busted Nose they splashed into a little thread of moun­ tain stream, and -let their ponies stop to drink, since the riding ahead promised to be both long and slow. “Far be it from me, George said, “to stick a spoke in your damn wheel. WeU do I realize fhat you’re three hoots and a yelp too smart for a man to tell you nuthin’. But a half-wit Injun that got hisself in' your fix would have sense enough to die by his own teeth!” Melody wasn’t listening to him. “I been thinktn’,” he said now. “You know somethin'? I don’t think this Monte Jarrad is up here at the Busted Nose at all.” George Fury’s hat seemed to rise slowly on his head. “You rode in there because you thunk he was there?” “Sure. But I see different, now. She wouldn’t never of brung me U S E L E S S kI-ALAN L e M A V COW BOY W-MU- SERVICE. here, except unless the real Monte was the farthest away place he could get. She’s trying to use me to lead the posse off him, not at him.” George stared at him angrily. 1 “Let’s get out of this,” he said gruffly, pulling up his pony’s head. “It just comes to me,” Melody said. “I come up here to find out where Monte Jarrad is. And I come away without finding out.” “Why didn’t you ask them peo­ ple?” George said with all the sar­ casm he had. "Them's the ones that know! Are you going to set there all night, or come on?” “Neither one,” Melody said, gath­ ering his reins. “I’m going back.” He turned Harry Henshaw, and started back up the trail. Cherry and Avery stood listening to the receding hoofbeats of George’s and Melody’s horses. Av­ery took off his black Califomia- style hat—the one with the flat top— and scratched his head with the same hand. When they could no longer hear the hoof-beats, Cherry and Avery looked at each oilier side­long. Side by side they walked out to the barn now, moving a little reluc­tantly. Here Avery took down a canvas wind-breaker, and pulled out the nail upon which it had hung. A hidden latch lifted, and some of the boards swung inward—a make-shift trick door. Beyond, an unexpectedly spacious cave was revealed under Ae hay tiers, made by blocking up the bales only one deep, like masonry. Avery had built this, and built it fast, while his father was off chasing wild horses. Fever Crick, whose jug- loose tongue was trusted by nobody, had taken Avery’s story that he had hauled in more hay. This crude V “Monte, it’s time to be on your way.” hide-out was nothing anybody could have trusted long; the cool, brazen guts of the very idea was its only hope. Monte Jarrad was on a pallet of grain sacks, bis head propped on his saddle. He lay on his back, very still, with the slack relaxation of a man who is saving every pulse-beat of his strength. He smoked a rolled cigarette as slender as a match, and looked at them with humorless eyes. Monte Jarrad took no notice of Avery at all; but he looked at Cher­ ry with a certain gleam of warmth, if anything. “Haven’t you got any sense at all?” Monte asked her. He had the pepper of a man outraged by his own physical weakness—astonished, irreconcilable, at being held down. 1You know what you went to Payne- ViHe after! You was supposed to fetch holt of Lee and Virg!” ‘Monte,” Cherry said, "Lee and Virg positively have not showed patch or pants in Payneville. I don’t know why, or where they are, or anything about it.” ‘And so,” Monte said, “so long as you was down there, you had to figure out the worst thing you could of done!”“You’re here because you’re the only man I ever looked at in my life,” Cherry said with all flatness, ’and because I’ve always thought you were all hell, from before I was fourteen years old.” Monte said, "Oh." “It’s not my fault that some tramp cowboy wandered into Payneville,” Cherry followed up, “and it’s not my fault that Payneville mistook him for you. Word ran all over town. Homer Cotton laid for him at the Denver Corral, hoping to kill liim- He hadn’t been in ten minutes be­ fore a rider went walloping out of town to fetch back the posse. The way he rode, I could hear Us hat whistle a block . . . Maybe there was holes in it,” she explained, as he looked at her queerly. “No feller looks like me. No fel­ ler looks like any feller.” “I didn’t say he did. He has the same initials, is all.” Then as she looked at Monte, her eyes turned strange. “He looks—he looks some, thing like you used to look.” Monte didn’t go into that. “Avery and I did the only thing we could have done,” Cherry went on. “The whole thing was a bad cut, that’s all. Sxcept for him, the posse would have dusted right on through to California; I suppose. As it is, they’ll be back here by tomor­ row night. They’ll comb this basin until a coon-cat couldn’t hide in it. The only thing I cbuld think of do­ ing, so long as they’re dead set on thinking he’s you, was to help them think so—and send him tearing on his way. He’s plenty stupid; but even he knows he’s in trouble, now. He’ll pound out of this country as fast as horse flesh can take him. The posse will be days catching up with him.” “He hit Ira Waggoner,” Cherry said. “Why?” “Didn’t come out with no reason,” Ayery said. “Damn it, he must of said some­thing!” “I swear, Monte, he never said ‘Hurrah,’ or ‘Excuse me,’ or noth­ in’! He just walked up to him, and— boom—he’s endways. I never see such a business.” “It was a picture,” Cherry con­ firmed. “Naturally,” Avery pointed out, his tone aggrieved, “everybody knew that you was the only one would have the nerve to hit Ira. Even Ira thunk it was you. He just picked hisself up and offered you a drink.” Avery looked puzzled. “Offered him a drink,” he decided. “I should have known Waggoner had no sense,” Monte blamed him­ self. “Why was he a stage driver if he had any sense?” “Sure, Monte,” Avery said again. “It was Lee and Virg picked him,” Monte said. “Waggoner was sup­ posed to see that the shotgun mes­senger got left behind at Stinkwater. He was supposed to drive the stage alone. Ifs Waggoner’s fault that the shotgun rider got his. It’s Wag. goner's fault that I’m lying here!” “Sure, Monte.” “And it’s his fault now that the posse’s on top of me again.” ' “Sure, Monte.” -' “Quit saying that!”“Okay, Monte.” “Don’t you see,” Cherry said, "that the posse will only take off after this tramp cowboy?” As they stooped and wormed their way out of the hide-out under the hay, Monte called Cherry back. She turned reluctantly, anxious to be away. “There’s something you might bet-, ter know,” Monte said, “and guide yourself according.” “Never mind this wrapping no­body around no finger,” he said. “Unless you want, to get them shot right in the stummick. Under­ stand?” Cherry looked at him steadily, for quite a bit. She pinched her lids to­ gether, but when she opened her eyes they were dry. “I don’t know about you,” she said at last. “Some days, I don’t think you try.” Nobody was in the lighted kitchen of the Busted Nose as George and Melody returned to it, leaving their horses hidden in the brush. Fever Crick, who now seemed to have passed out, was snoring in the lean-to; but'otherwise their recon­ naissance raised no one. Avery and Cherry de Longpre had disappeared. “I’m thinkin’,” Melody said. “The girl knows where Monte is. So she’s the one I got to find out from.” “So naturally all you got to do is ask her,” George said. “Well, no;- that’s the part I ain’t got figured yet,” Melody admitted. “I don’t rightly judge she’ll say. That’s where the hitch comes in.” “Oh,” saiti George. Hiseyeswere flicking around the kitchen, tireless­ ly hunting a ray of hope. "Ain't there some way to git you out of this?” “Oh, now George—don’t start all that again. I’m tryin’ to find out somethin’.” “Then we might jest as’ well try to git ’er done,” George said grimly. George had come to the foot of the ladder nailed to the wall; it gave ac­ cess to the loft above the kitchen. "Don’t make, a sound,” he whis­ pered; and suddenly skinned silently up the ladder into the loft. When George , had disappeared, a COMiderable silence followed, dur­ ing which Melody had no clue to what George was up to, nor what was happening. Melody began to show nervousness for the first timel He called up the ladder in a reach­ing whisper. “Hey, George!” ' . There was no answer from above. Porhais nothing In the world is so creepy ’as calling into the'dark' to some one you mow is there, and getting no reply. And now Melody heard the voices of CHierry and Av­ ery; outside; they seemed to be spin a distance off, but coming closer rap­ idly.Melody Jones swung up the ladder in a couple of long pulls, and stuck himself half way into the loft. ‘Come on! The rest of the way!” George spoke close to his ear,- “Quick!” ; ■One thing,” George whispered, “they’ll never be figurin 1 oik uo here,” (TO BE CONTnroED) IM PR O V E D U N IF O R M IN T E R N A T IO N A L S UNDAY!CHOOL L e s s o n By HAROLD L.

SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS THE DEFEAT OF THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM LESSON TEXT—Jeremlali 18:1-10.15a, 17».GOLDEN TEXT—Come, and let us re­turn unto the Lord.—Hosea 6:1. History repeats itself. Men never seem to learn from the experiences of others, whether they be personal or national. Judah,- the southern part of the divided kingdom, saw the downward path of Israel and Hs ul­timate captivity. The same process went on in J.udah, although hindered now and then by .good kings who brought about a partial return to God.Ultimately the day came when Jerusalem was destroyed 'by Nebuchadnezzar’s troops and the people carried off to their long years of captivity in Babylon. Jeremiah ministered as God’s prophet during Judah’s declining years, bringing them God’s word of judgment for their sins and urging them to submit. His voice was un­ heeded and far his faithfulness he received only their hatred and per­ secution. God gave him the strength and grace to be true in a very diffi­cult mission. Our lesson for today tells how God in a graphic object lesson taught the prophet and the people that they were in the hands of a sympathetic but at the same time a sovereign God. I. The Potter and His Work (vv. 1-4). The maker of pottery took the lump of clay, placed it on his wheel, and with his hand formed it into the kind of vessel he wanted. If it became misshapen or showed a de­fect, he could moisten and remold the day into another vessel as it suited him. The clay was in his hand, to meet his purpose and his will. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan fittingly suggests that there are three things to be borne in mind here: a prin­ ciple, a purpose, and a person. And as we apply the truth to ourselves as God’s children, we spell the Per­son of the Potter with a capital “P,” for He is none other than God Him­self. The principle is that God is abso­ lutely sovereign, that He does as He wills for His own glory. Until we recognize that principle, “life will be a failure. If, however, I have dis­covered this principle alone, then my soul will be filled with terror. I must also see the purpose.” The purpose is the working out of His will for each of us. He knows us, and He has a plan for our lives, and is able to make that plan come to pass if we permit Him to do so. But, as Dr. Morgan says, “if I know principle and purpose only, I shall yet tremble and wonder, and be filled with a haunting foreboding.” But as “I press through the principle and beyond the purpose and discov­ er the Person of the Potter, then the purpose will flame with light, and the principle that appears so hard and severe will become the sweetest and tenderest thing in my life.” God spoke to Jeremiah through the scene in the potter’s house, and He also wants to talk to our hearts. H. God and Judah (w. 5-10, 15a, 17a). The lesson is plain. God had for His people a high and glorious pur­ pose. He wanted to bless them and use them for His glory. But they were a sinful and rebellious people, stiff-necked and stubborn in their un­belief, and the vessel of honor which God was trying to form was marred in His hand. God did not act in anger or in disregard of their rights. He was forced to bring judgment upon them because of their own sin. That sin is stated in verse 15—they had for­gotten God. One trembles as he applies that test of God’s requirement for bless­ ing upon a nation to our own land. There is a haunting fear that while there are some who truly worship God, and a larger number who pro­ fess to worship Himj a great host of the people of America have forgot­ten God. Does our nation remember Him and seek His counsel and blessing in its national affairs? Do we in­ quire after the ways of righteous­ ness? Are we eager for spiritual revival and increasing grace even within the church? Judah was to be scattered “as’ with- an east wind”—and who does not know that it came to pass. Where are they today?But even in the midst of judgment the Lord speaks of mercy . The Lord who will “pluck up, break down and destroy” (v. 7) the people who forget Him, is eager and ready “to build and to plant” the nation when it turns to- Him. The sure promise of God’s future blessing upon a repentant Israel and Judah is written large in the mes­sages of all the prophets. The same God, eternally sovereign in His purpose, is our heavenly Fa­ ther. The man or woman whose ves­ sel of life has been marred by sin and failure need only yield anew to the Potter’s blessed hand.

Phones on Street Cars Two-way radio telephones are now used by 13 street-railway companies for communication be­ tween the dispatcher’s office , and supervisory motorcars and' emer­ gency trucks, says Collier’s. A new device, used in conjunc­ tion with such systems, automat­ ically records the exact time each streetcar passes a number of suc­ cessive points spaced along its route. With it, a dispatcher can see at once when and where a particular car is behind schedule or stopped by an accident and can then radio the nearest snpervisory car to make an investigation. When making pancakes, here is a useful^tip: Rub a IitUe salt over the frying-pan when it is hot. The batter will not stick then. Used crankcase oil may be used to paint fences and gates. Paint only during dry weather.— •— Squeeze a. little lemon juice through the meat grinder before grinding dates, figs, prunes or rais­ ins and they will leave the chop­per more readily.—•— To. avoid fatigue while you are ironing or doing any work where you remain long in one spot, stand on a heavy rug or rubber mat. Dusting with talcum or corn­ starch will help keep rubber gloves from sticking together on the inside. The powder is dusted both on the inside and on the out­ side. This should be done to any rubber material that lies folded. SNA PPY FACTS In 1942, osr first year of war, 4149b of the rubber consumed in the U. S. was synthetic; In 1943,35%, and In 1944 80%.

Artutei Gratitude * The average American’s most vivid impression of the Orient was acquired in less than an hour and came to him free with a bowl of chicken chow-mein. This is no dis­ credit to the average American. He can’t help it if Asia is mysterious. It is only an accident that we know a great deal more about Europe. Our ancestors came from that way, so we'heard about it.It is high time now, however, for •very soul in the United States, who loves his happy home and peaceful surroundings, to learn more of the character of our straw-colored al­ lies beyond the Pacific. We owe our national safety to them. If it were not for their native integrity we would be held in a nutcracker be­tween Germany and Japan at tills hour, if we were yet able to fight at all. We Admire Britain Americans are a tender-hearted folk. We sympathize with other peoples and half-way try to under­ stand them, but we don't usually ad­mire them very much. We felt sor­ ry for the Poles when the Nazi took them in 18 days. Our hearts went out to the Norwegians because they didn’t last three weeks. We wept with our British relatives over Dun­ kirk, but we did more. We ad­ mired the British. Late in 1937 the city of Nanking, China, fell to the Japanese. Far away over the sea strategists thought that was about the end. If China had folded up the next day few people would have blamed her. We Americans would have turned the spigot in our sympathy tank again and drawn out a generous sprinkling of tears for dear old China, and then tried to forget it. But forgetting it would have been impossible. Most Admire Chins If China had fallen in 1937, four, years before the Pearl Harbor raid, any child can guess why we Amer­ icans would still be remembering it But China did not fail. It'would not be amiss for devout people to give thanks at the table three times a day that China did not fall. IfChina had fallen Japan could have knifed Russia on the unguarded side right through Manchuria; surely would have done so. Back in those early months of the present war when the Germans were all but knocking at the doors of Moscow, our big old globe, as now arranged, was coming unglued. If Japan could have drawn dose enough to attack Russia from be­ hind, the Germans would have marched into Moscow. Then, with no Russia to annoy him, Hitla would have parched London to a cin­ der. Thanks to China China stayed in and fought, so London remains. China stood the gaff, so «>« still have San Francisco. China could take privation and pun­ ishment; her share and ours too. As a consequence no bomb has Struck an American city. Moreover, China’s young men have made their fight as nearly bare-fisted as any •rmy taking part in this war on either side, large or small. In recent weeks there have been frequent criticisms of China; of Chinese fortitude, of China’s dis­unity, of Chiang Kai-Shek’s general­ ship. Let me close with this ad­ monition: Criticism of China in America today, true or false, has one purpose and one only. It is to break up unity among our allies. Our enemies can hope to survive by no other means. Don't listen to it. DAifE b r ic k COMPANY DEALERS IN BRICK and SAND WOOD and COAL Day Phone 194 • Night Phone 119 Mocksville, N. C.

Lovely fpringtime, wondrous soring time! That is waiting for my soul. Where no one with age grows hoary. And life’s troubles cease to roll; And where holy saints are dwelling In that blest home far above. Soon our anshetns will be swelling, Praising God for His great Iove- Nothing will decay in heaven. Nor Life’s river e'er run dry; Nothing that our God has given Will grow old beyond the sky, Neither will it fail or languish Till God’s saints in want shall groan, For unlike this world of anguish Nothing fails around God’s throne.

SELL, Formerly doing business as: : Davie Furniture Company; Caroline’s Dress Shop, and Davie Dry Goods Company Where Both Parties Are Guilty Politicians in Washington In both parties are trying to outdo each other in bringing out claimed plan­ ned programs to give everybody jobs in t*ie postwar era to make it for­ ever impossible for any of us to ever be In want. These laws are foolish and impractical, but strange as it may seem, we’re for their passage. Over the past few years, we’ve arrived at the conclusion that we the people, believe such bunk as this and the only cure that we know of is to have enough of it so that we eventually get sick of it all that we’ll throw it out of the window. God’s own Son never preached that the human race could accom­ plish for itself wbat the politicians claim that their pet plans will. De­ spite Harry Hopkin’s teachings and those of rattle-brained impracticals. man was made to earn his Hiring by the sweat of his brow and those who believe these men that "the country owes every citizens a Itv- ing with cream and honey without work” are, in the end, only kidding themselves. Remember how we could tax the rich and the poor would never have to pav? Remember Harry Hop­ kins’ "We’ll tax and tax and elect and elect’’? ‘‘Well, look at the clerk or stenographer who makes, say. twelve months for the U. S. income tax And here’s the sad news, he or she will never be re. Iieved of this load through their lifetime. We could take all of the cash and the property which the so- called rich have and with it the gov. ernment expenses would only be paid for a few days. We just can’t have anything else with a 300 a 400 billion debt load to carry. Today if Harry put out tbis same doctrine few would believe him; we now begin to realize that we in the ranks of the so-called poor will al ways have to pay the bill But, then some of us seem to still believe that we can have a program which will care for ns from the cradle to the grave and the only real cure, we believe, is to put her in and let her bust us. Besides, we have another power, ful .element. Tbis is composed of the men in the Services. They’re coming back as strong individualists As several have told ns, “ We’re going into business for ourselves even though it’s a sidewalk peanut stand; we’re forever through taking orders. Just let a gang of bureau­ crats try to boss us around! So, we say. let’s pate these fool schemes, the quicker we do, the quicker we’ll be rid the rattle brained ideas. Let the planners go the full limit; we can stand it along with the rest of the people and we’ll be well paid for it in standing by and walcbisg the returning fight ing men and women blow these bu reau builders (state and national) out of the picture. —Union Repub. lican.

No Sob Sisters, Please! As the wai closes in Europe with the capitulation of all organized nazi figbting forces, let ns hope that this country will not turn soft enough to look over the atrocities of the nazis and class It as just so much war propaganda. The nazis have been beasts be­ low our contemplation of buman beings. Evidence brought to light clearly shows that the nazis fullv intended and tried to wipe out or to subjugate all except nazis. The Allies have preoated at set of 13 volumes which outline some of the nazl crimes in France, which can be multiplied by the nazi crimes in Poland and other countries over ridden by the nazis. Here is some authentic comment on the facts learned: "The 13 volumes cite incident after incident of mass execution of hostages and members or suspected members of t he French under­ ground, the sacking of towns and torture that outdoes anything in the middle ages. The report says the state of hundreds of bodies ex amined proves without a shadow of doubt—quote— ‘That the men had been tortured and beaten with in­ human ferocity hefjre being killed. •’ Aod tbedocument adds: '1Noin ternational law can justify such brutality and sadism.’' The Nazis are said to have punish­ ed innocent perons frequently in order to destroy the French under­ ground. - The Germans carried out their tortures in public and they burned farms and entire villages in territory controlled by t. e French maquis. "(An example of Nazi torture is cited in the case of 17 Frenchmen executed for anti-Nazi activities, or suspicion of them. The 17 French men eves, tongues and fingernails had been torn out and their bodies were blackened with welts and bruises. Their skulls bad been cracked. And at least one man was found to have dirt in bis lungs —a sign that be had been buried alive.” J-W ilkes Journal. • Fowl Thefts A wave of chicken stealing has broken out in North Carolina, ac­ cording to C: F. Parris, director of extension poultry work at North Ca* roiina State College. As many as five, or six thefts of chickens along one short atretch of road have been reported. Parrish said.

George, of George, chairman of the Senate Fin­ ance Committee, bas contended all along that Federal taxes could be materially reduced immediatei>|after the war without endangering the credit of the nation, despite the heavy Federal indebtedness. Now he is urging immediate reduction in in­ come and corporation taxes “even though the Japanese war goes on for another year.” Trearury officials and War Mobili- Iization Director Fred M. Vinson have recommended that no tax re­ ductions be made at this time. Bat Senator George feels that legislation effecting reductions in Federal in­ come and corporation taxes should be enacted at an early date to be ef feclive b; January 1,1946. or in the early months of 1946. Tbe George tiiests is that the na­ tional economy will suffer unless taxes are cut at the earliest possible date. There is much plausibiiitv in the contention. As war contracts are terminated, war wage and pro- fitlevels fall, millions of war work, ers discharged, heavy Federal taxes will cut deeply into consumer pur­ chasing power on the one hand, and seriously interfere with the launch­ ing of new business and industrial enterprises on the other. Hence the question naturally a. rises whether it were wiser for the Government to continue to wring as much revenue as possible from existing lax sources, at the risk of crippling them to the point where the revenue eventually will dry up or relax the tax grip to a point con­ sistent with the encouragement of practical risktaking and initiative on the part of the public in general Senator Gearge thus scores a neat point when he declares that, *'We have got to have a sound economy as well as a sound fiscal system." At the moment, however, any pro­ posal looking to early redaction of the Federal tax load must be weigh' ed against the fact that for the Unit- ed StateB the war is only half uver. No one knoto how long it will take to defeat the Japanese or how great the cost from here on out will be in terms of weapons, machines, supplies naval craft, manpower. A large slash in taxes might lead to the un> dercutsing of expenditures on vital war necessities. But it is perhaps not too early to begin re-examina­ tion of the Federal tax structure and some redaction might be advisable in anticipation of the radical changes in the national ^conomv and indivi- vidual incomes which are Iikelv to occur within the next year or two.— Winston-Salem Journal.

RUSSIA AND A LLIES ( SAN FRANCISCO. — To the aver-, age outsider, th e m ost difficult thing' to understand about this conference Is the attitude of the R ussians. P oor p ress relations, plus a few inept m oves have m elted down a large • m ountain of goodwill built up by th e ' valor of the R ed arm y. In a few . short days they have destroyed: m uch of the favorable sentim ent in L atin A m erica, and through no fault of ours, won us m ore friends below the Rio G rande than w e ever had before. O ne of th e things M olotov did in San F rancisco w as to invite two prom inent L atin - A m erican dele­ gates to dinner at the R ussian con­ sulate, along w ith a few carefully selected Europeans. L atin guests w ere M exico’s tall, handsom e F or­ eign M inister Padilla, and Chile’s aristocratic Foreign M inister Jo­ aquin Fernandez Y Fernande?, who is rapidly assum ing a new leader­ ship in L atin A m erica. M olotov dran k a to ast to Chile and h er new establishm ent of diplo­ m atic relations w ith R ussia. “ T here are so m any C hileans who w ant to becom e A m bassador to M os­ cow,” joked Foreign M inister F e r­ nandez in return, “ th at it is one of m y g reatest problem s.” M exico’s Padilla, apparently on excellent term s w ith M olotov, said: “ AU L atin A m erica would be pleased if our sister republic, A rgentina, w as ad­ m itted to th e conference.” Molotov, in mellow mood, seemed to register no objection. Mood Changes. B ut a day la te r the m ood w as dif­ ferent. P adilla arose in secret ses­ sion to propose S ecretary Stettinius a s perm anent chairm an of the con­ ference. M olotov prom ptly objected. H e pointed out th a t four countries had invited the other nations to at­ tend this conference and th a t the representatives of all four host countries should rotate as chairm an. Foreign M inister P adilla then de­ livered a recitation of previous precedents w here the nation w hich served as host also acted as chair­ m an. W hen he ha£ finished, Molo­ tov, who had already pointed out th a t four nations w ere hosts, got up and rem arked: “ I am glad to be instructed in diplom atic procedure by the delegate of M exico, but appar­ ently he prepared his little speech before he heard m y view .” , Padilla, who had not read his speech, w as taken aback. H e m um ­ bled som ething about alw ays being prepared w hen he attended a con­ ference, and sa t down. A fter a long, hot debate, M olotov w on his point. B ut the m anner in w hich he jum ped on the M exican lost him friends. A lot of L atins, jealous of P adilla’s brilliant oratory, previously had been opposed to him . B ut M olotov veered them in the opposite direc­ tion. N ext day, in secret session, F or­ eign M inister Jan M asaryk of Czechoslovakia, a nation cooperat­ ing w ith R ussia, pointed to the va­ c an t chair of Poland and m oved th at th e Lublin governm ent be adm itted. Foreign M inister Subasich of Yugo­ slavia, also close to R ussia, sec­ onded the m otion. W hereupon, An­ thony E den, w hite-faced and prim , em phatically opposed. .T h ere fol­ low ed m ore hot debate. Finally, to break the deadlock, Foreign M inister Spaak of Belgium proposed a com prom ise resolution expressing sym pathy w ith Poland and hoping th at she could be ad­ m itted soon. G enial, rotund A m bas­ sador C aceres of H onduras, a g reat friend of the U.S.A., rose to second Belgium . W hereupon M olotov cracked back: "N otw ithstanding the support of the R epublic of H onduras, the Soviet Union stands by its position.” D elegates Startled. A note of biting sarcasm rang through M olotov’s voice w hich startled the delegates. It sounded as if the pow erful Soviet Union, rep­ resenting the g reatest land-m ass in the world, w as trying to put the tiniest republic in L atin A m erica in its place. A gain, R ussia lost m ore friends. And later w hen th e vote w as taken on seating Lublin Poland, she lost th at also. These a re som e of the things about the R ussians th a t take a ’ lot of understanding. On the other hand, w hen M olotov, after w inning his point on rotating the chairm anship, finally sat In Stet- tinius’ place, he did an excellent job. He got off a little gag about being glad the conference would now have an opportunity to hear R ussian, and proceeded to han­ dle the session in m ost expert m anner.• * • CAPITOL CH AFF C.

She stared a t him blankly. “ W hat?” H e looked h e r over sadly. “ Come on, G eorge.” She w as still staring a s he turned and w alked out of the house. G eorge F u ry backed out after M elody, his gun on A very until they w ere w ell into the dark. A fter M elody Jones and G eorge F u ry w ere gone again, C herry w ent back to the job of getting h er broth­ e r started to tow n. T here w as a short struggle. A very had becom e confused, and didn’t w ant to m ove .until he w as straightened out. F irst of all A very had to search toe loft; he couldn't g et it out of his head th a t there w as a dead m an up there. W hen he found nothing he -was ju st as bew ildered as before. “ E ith er you get started for tow n,” C herry said through h er teeth, “ or I ’m going out and tell M onte you won’t go.” A very looked hurt, but he w as convinced. “All right, C herry.” A few m om ents la te r he w ent ham m er­ ing dow n the trail. C arrying a lam p, and leaving toe kitchen d ark behind her, she opened the door of h er stall-like bedroom . Instantly she alm ost dropped the lam p. The body of a m an w as stretched full length upon h er bed. C herry bit h e r knuckles in a be­ lated effort to keep herself from Scream ing. It w as not-necessary; "Cherry didn’t go around scream ing very m uch. M elody Jones lay sound asleep, With his m outh open, a look of placid incom petence upon his unconscious face. C herry stood looking down a t him for several m om ents before he opened his eyes. “H i,” M elody said. C herry tossed his h a t on top of him and turned aw ay; she had never been m ore discouraged in h e r life. She sa t down on a soap box by the w ashstand, looking m ostly unrav­ eled. “ I don’t suppose,” she said dully, “ it’s any use asking you w hat the hell?” , “ I been thinkin’,” M elody said. ' “ I don’t believe, th at, either,” C herry said bitterly. “ You know som ethin’?” M elody said. “I believe you’re in som e kind of a fix, around here.” . "If I ’m not,” C herry said, “I’m going to be, if I can’t stop you from haunting m e like toe living dead! O nce and for all, and for toe la st tim e—w ill you get out of here?” “ Cain’t.” “W hy not?” M elody Jones lied to h e r then. “M y hpss ru n off,” he told her. “ W hat have you done w ith your p a rtn e r? " C herry Ssked him . H e evaded th at, partly. " I reckon he’s settin’ around som ew here, countin’ his teeth. T hat’s m ost gen­ erally w hat G eorge is li’ble to be doin’. You see, G eorge didn’t w ant to com e back here, seem s like.” She looked a t him blankly, and there w as another detour—mind-de­ stroying for C herry de Longpre—as he explained to h er about H arry H enshaw being the nam e of his horse. “I suppose,” C herry said, h er voice shaking a little, “ I ought to be glad you know who you are. You have a cheek, pretending to be M onte Jarra d —even trying to fool m e! Ju st because I m istook you for som e one else, a t first—” “ No, you didn’t,” M elody said. “ W hat?” ; “ The whole thing is no better than a-, hoe-axe,” he said. “ You knew from the sta rt I w asn’t anybody in particular. You cooked toe whole thing up in your own haid, and I knew it a t the tim e.” She stared a t him a m om ent m ore, then turned aw ay, baffled by th a t m ild, effortless lack of pres­ sure. “ You’re nuts about this M onte, aren ’t you?” he asked w ithout preju­ dice. “W hat if I am ?” : “ Seem s like every guy has som e g a l goes ridic’lous about him ,” M el­ ody said, “ E xcept—except-r” - “ You—you m ake a person forget w hat she w as talking about?* C her­ ry said crazily. The strain w as burning h er out. She picked up a hairbrush from the w ashstand and looked a t it a s if she h ad never seen it before. She shook out h e r h air and began to brush it m echanically, looking a t th e w all. “ You’re in som e kind of a box,” M elody told her. “You been m ixing w ith the WTong people, o r som e­ thing.

T hat fact probably explains why the period of the captivity of the Jew ish people is passed over in silence in the historical accounts of the Bible. W e do know th at prophets w ere sent to m inister to them and to keep alive th elf hope of restoration to their own land. Yiheii the Jew ish captives w ere read y to retu rn to th eir land, the silence of sacred history is broken, and w e learn of th eir experiences in rebuilding the tem ple and the w all of Jerusalem from th e books of E z ra and N ehem iah. M any and varied w ere the ob­ stacles, but in due tim e they w ere surm ounted, and by Clod’s help the w ork w as accom plished. Now the tim e had com e for a spiritual re­ vival, and God h ad H is m an and H is m essage ready for th a t hour. E zra, the scribe, w as God’s serv an t in bringing th e W ord of God to .th e people. The elem ents of suc­ cess for any revival a re found here. I. An Open Bock (8:1,2). The W ord of G od is quick and pow erful and sh arp er than a two- edged .sw ord (Heb. 4:12). T hat m ighty w eapon does n o t need any apology or defense. It needs use. The soldier in battle unsheaths his sw ord o r fires his" gun. H e does not send pam phlets to his enem ies telling them w hat an effective w eap­ on he h as—h e uses it and gets re­ sults. There is a place for discussion and instruction regarding the authen­ ticity and dependability of the Bible, but if w e m ake it a substitute for using the W ord, w e a re on the w rong track; E ra brought out the law of God and opened it to all the people. T hat is w hat w e need to do today. O pen Up G od’s W ord and let it do its pow erful w ork.U. An Attentive People (8:3, 4a, 5, 6). The W ord m ust be h eard as w ell a s preached. Good listeners a re as im portant as good preachers. The open e a r and the open h eart com ­ plete the m inistry of the open Book. N ote the reverence of the people (v. 5). Yfhen the Book w as opened, they stood up—a token of honor. We do not w orship the B ible, but we should show fa r m ore reverence tow ard it and its m essage th an is ordinarily the case. This is God’s W ord, and m an should approach it reverently. N pte th e spirit of w orship in verse 6 . B e sure th a t any people com ing to God’s W ord in th a t spirit w ill receive a blessing. We shall see in a m om ent, how w onderfully God m et them , b u t first w e shall note an additional reason for ,'the splendid response of the people.' W e have before us the open book and . an attentive and reverent people. Yfhat m ore is needed? IH. An Intelligent Ministry (8 :8 , 12). T here is nothing th at any m an can add to God’s W ord, but he can, by the grace of God and the illum i­ nation of the Holy Spirit, be used in opening up the m eaning of the Word. T hat kind of an exposition of S cripture is the very essence of re a l preaching. Topical discussions have their value. T here is a place for book review s and the presenta­ tion of social problem s. B ut the pul­ p it should be prim arily and alw ays th e place w here God’s W ord is ex­ pounded. N ote th a t the law of God w as read “distinctly” (v. 7). How im ­ portant! T hat calls for p repara­ tion and p rayer. T hat precludes the casual selection of a Scripture passage in the la st m inute before service. T hen observe th a t “ they gave the sense, so th a t they understood the reading” (v. 8 ). T hat tak es m ore preparation and m uch prayer. The teach er o r preacher needs illum i­ nation so th a t the tru th .m ay be clearly understood and presented. E verything w as now read y for: IV. A Spiritnal Response (8:12; 9:1-3). R evival cam e—and w hat a re ­ vival! T ears and laughter m ingled. TTiere w as sorrow because of sin, and joy because of God’s forgive­ ness.

Many a Victory Gardener has learned a lot from experience in the past three years. Various knacks, devices, and methods have been found helpful in making vegetable and flower growing easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Here are a few of them picked up here and there: There’s the quick trick of making furrows for very small seeds by laying die rake handle flat on the ground+ parallel to other rows and pressing it lightly into the soil. The soil, of course, must be of fine texture and well pre­ pared. The shallow depression left by die handle is just the light depth for lettuce, carrot, and other tiny veg­ etable and flower seeds which should not be planted more than a quarter- inch deep. The row can then be speed­ ily covered by gently raking a thin layer of soil over it and tamping it down. ADxlng small seeds with a handful of sand or fine soil before sowing is a good idea. This method keeps the seed from blowing around and also from being sown too thickly. Do you suspect the presence of that crafty nuisance, the cutworm, in your garden plot? The pest frequently hides In the soil and nips off young plants at the base during the night while you sleep. Tomato and pepper plants are often victims as well as other transplanted seedlings. To com­ bat this enemy, a paper “collar” is a hmidy device. Cut a strip of flexible cardboard about six indies wide and long enough to make Ihe proper size hollow cylinder for encircling the plant you want to protect Fastentiielapped ends together with a couple of paper dips. Or, if available, use a paper cup with the bottom cut out Slide the collar over the little plant when setting it out, sinking it about half way into the soil as shown in the illustration. If your garden is .50x75' feet in size or larger, plan to include a wheel hoe among your garden implements tins year if at all possible. You can do the job of cultivating in about one-third the time it takes with a hand hoe. Remember, however, in laying out the garden for wheel hoe use, a little more space will be needed between rows than for hand hoe cultivation. With a wheel hoe you can travel up and down the garden rows with little more exer­ tion than running a carpet sweeper ova: a rug. Weeds are quickly de­ stroyed, the soil is well stirred, and there’s sddom a backache in this kind of garden care. Nation’s School Chfldren Ready To Assume Part in Seventh Drive WASHINGTON, D. C.—The nation’s 30,000,000 school children are again all set to assum e as m uch responsibility as is given them in helping to m eet the $7,000 ,000,000 euiota set for sales of W ar Bonds to individuals in the Seventii W ar Loan. The demonstrated sales effective-+ ness of school children was an im­portant factor in the determination of the dates set for this new Drive— May 14th through June 30th. Insist­ ence on the part of many War Fi­nance Chairmen throughout the country paid tribute to the vital sup­port that pupils, teachers and school administrators have given previous Bond Drives.A recent survey reveals that more than 20 million people heard about the Sixth War Loan from school children. Over eleven million were directly asked to buy bonds by these boys and girls, a little less than a third of whom were solicited in no other way.The participation of school chil­dren ’ranges from rallies at their schools to the taking over of actual house-to-house canvassing. In Penns Grove, a small New Jersey town, during the last Drive, E Bond sales were lagging badly. In desperation, the War Finance Committee turned to the students of the town’s two high schools and one grammar school. “If the adults won’t do it, it’s up to you,” the County Chairman told them. Accepting the challenge, within a week boys and girls had sold $25,000 worth of bonds, and be­fore the close of the Drive, Penns Grove’s 6,485 citizens had topped their E Bond quota by $17,000. “Let’s chuck that worriment about youth taking responsibility into the ash can,” said the local weekly news­paper. In Michigan, public schools sold $23,750,560 worth of bonds in the Sixth War Loan, with Detroit schools contributing almost a third of this figure. One school in the heart of, Detroit averaged sales of $233.60 per' pupil; another, in a wealthier dis­trict, tallied up $349 for each of its 800 students. Through special promotions staged by the schools of the small town of Laconia, New Hampshire, whose; pupils manned booths, recorded the Drive’s progress in downtown de­partment store windows and can­vassed all the town’s fourteen dis-- tricts, E Bond sales amounted to $341,334 against a quota of $272,300.In the state of Washington, the1 80,000 school children in King Counfy sold 27,763 E Bonds in one day—$1,182,281 worth. And in Kings County, New York, elementary and secondary school children tallied up $4,137,435 through the sale of 41,253 E Bonds during' the Sixth War Loan. On Pearl Harbor Day in a remote Virginia county, sefcool pupils can-, vassed the neighborhood and soldi! $18,000 worth of Bonds; their total! sales-for the last Drive amounted to $46,000—eight per cent of which was! estimated to be “new” sales. I Preparing fellow townspeople tori solicitation by the pupils of Fair-' mount School, Hackensack, N. J., the principal wrote: “You may feel that we are placing an unusual responsi­ bility on our children, but they are unusual children, living in unusual times. They are sincere in their be­lief that the future of America de­pends upon our continued support of every man in the line of battle.” HisS pupils sold bonds worth more than* $1,000,000 in the Sixth War Loan. M O X IN G A X X A D Br GEORGE S. BEN SON Prttiicnt--Hatiiitg Cotlege Settey. Atkonsat Booby Trap Li public speeches, in published articles and in this column since early January, 1944, I have been calling attention to the “booby trap” in America’s wartime tax laws. Now, as our fighting men press harder upon Berlin, the in­ dustries that support them are drawn closer to the trap. Most war contracts will be voided on V-Day but taxes and payrolls must still be met.Corporations pay income tax car h year on the previous year’s earn­ ings, just as personal income faxes were paid prior to 1944. In 1946, firms will be taxed on 1945’s earn­ ings. But if war ends (terminating war contracts) this year, 1946 will be the year of change-back, of costly sales and few. Problem: How to hire more men and pay 1945’s taxes with small earnings or none? Apple-Polishing? Any time a voice is raised in the interest of American business, any time a writer suggests that cor­poration tax laws need revision, somebody accuses him of apple-pol­ ishing or grinding the axe of big business. But right is still right. Prosperity in America depends on full employment; full employment depends on business expansion, and business expansion depends on wise tax provisions. Firms that have used their war- year profits expanding production tor victory are not to be blamed. They are solvent. They will have adequate working capital due them under the present law after their Refund Bonds are cashable and after their Carry-back credits on ex­cess profits taxes are allowed. But when will this be? As the law is written now, years will pass before the money comes. Keep Jobs Alive. After a man has starved to death, food does him no good. Neither will money due a firm help its employees after bankruptcy. What war-production firms need is money when they need it; to hire men, to buy machinery for peace­ time work, to save useful enter­ prises and avoid wholesale un­ employment in their communities. Laborers and farmers and small­ town merchants have the most at stake. William L. Hutcheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpen­ ters & Joiners, surely was look­ing through the lenses of Labor when he wrote Robert L. Doughton, chairman of the Ways & Means Committee of the House of Repre­ sentatives, urging the passage of amendments to make Refund Bonds and Carry-back funds promptly available to industry at plant re­conversion time. Labor Leader Says “Analysis of a large number of companies shows that... they have had to use their tax reserves for current operations, so that when war ends fhey . . . can not reconvert to peacetime operations and employ­ment of men. .. . We strongly urge that these provisions be ’ amended in a manner which your Commit­ tee believes will make refunds available immediately at the time war production of these companies has stopped.” Mr. Hutcheson’s letter reached Air. Doughton’s desk only shortly ahead of One like it from William Green, president of A. F. of L. Are these labor leaders apple-polish- ers? NoI They are far-sighted think­ ers serving the interests of working men, and they know how. They are not recommending boodle for busi­ness men. They are intelligently promoting postwar jobs and pros­perity for the United States.

Hiddeoite. N. C Let me picture to you two men. Here is the first one. He takes life lightly, or as though it is a fri. volous tbiug to live He seems nev er to have any depth of thought. Even at his work he seems to care little whether he makes of it a suc­ cess or not, just so he makes a liv­ ing He is interested more In quit­ ting time and pay day than in mak­ ing a success for himself and help­ ing somebody else to succeed. He spends much of his earnings fool­ ishly. He seems to care little as to how he uses his spare time. In fact he wastes it around filling sta ticns, beer joints, pocl rooms, pic­ ture shows and idle games. He never reads the. Bible nor good books and wholesome, character building literatnre. What he reads is cheap and chaffy, hence worth- s. He spends quite a bit of his time listening to the most foolish, cheap, nonsensical radio programs. He smokes and chews and spits and tells foolish jokes, or even vtdgaT jokes. He delights in foolishness, tommyrot, nonsense. H eis much of an idler, especially when he is off of his job. He work sight hours in twenty-four, then spends sixteen hours sleeping, idling, loafing, or in a way that he accomplishes noth­ ing good, great and worth while. Finally he dies just as he has lived. He has lived as a failute and dies as a failure. The world is no bet­ ter, but worse, because he lived in it and wielded bis influence. No­ body rises up to call him blessed. His time is gone; his life is gone; bis golden and priceless opportuni­ ties are gone, and he goes to meet God unprepared and empty-handed. Here is the second man.' What a difference in the two. He lives for a good, noble, great and worth­ while purpose. In childhood and youth he became a Christian. He prays, reads and studies bis Bible, goes to church and Sunday school, supports the cause of God and with his tithes and offerings, and has a great and mighty interast in bis fellowmen. He prays for them, gives them the oery best of advice, warns tbem against sin and wick­ edness, idleness and foolishness, and sets before them the very best examples possible. Yon nevet see him nanging around beer joints, picture shows, pool rooms, card ta ble’s, liquor stores, filling stations, road bouses and places of worldly, evil, sinful amusements. He works well, earns his money honestly, spends it cautiously and rightly, Doth for his own personal necessi­ ties, the necessities of bis family and for the good of bis iellow-men Be uses well and to the best of- ad vantage his spare time. It-is never wasted. He ieads the very best books and literature, keeps tbe best company, and wields tbe best in fluence possible. He dies and goes to meet God with a life well spent and fruitful for God. Men rise up and call him blessed. This is life’s better way. Tobacco Promises Well The tobacco crop in the section about Lumberton, Robesou county, is in the field and on its way to growth and maturty, according to Jasper C. Hutto, supervisor of tbe Lumbe.rton tobacco .market. The supervise r says this semi-monthly crop condition report, just issued. On tbe whole tbe farmers are high­ ly pleased with the progress made and with tbe outlook for the crop.” WAR BONDS New Wfisoa Story Mrs. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo chose an appropriate setting to di vuige a story that the Wilson fam­ ily had kept secret for 21 years. The time was the close of the se­ cond World War In Europe. The place was San Francisco, where a world congress is attempting to forge an instrument for lasting peace, and where Mrs. McAdoo told to Peter Edson, of NEA Ser vice a hitherto unkeown story of her father, the first World War President.I The day before Woodrow Wilson died. Mts. McAdoo said, he told his daughters that it was right that the United States had not joined the League of Nations in 1920. He was reconciled to the fact that, though our entrance'into tbe Leag­ ue which he had conceived would have been a great victory for him, it would not have worked because "deep down in their hearts tbe A- merican people didn’t really believe in it. ” Some day, he prophesied, this country would join a league of na­ tions because it really wanted to— and then and then only would it work. That story makes comforting rea. ding, and also rather startling news. It is comforting for the admirers of Wilson to know that he did not go to his grave the embittered heart­ broken man tbat history has pic­ tured him, and tbat he came to credit popular feeling rather than a Senate conspiracy for our aloofness. Knowing this, we can be sure that he met death with more happiness and peace of mind than has been believed. But why, one wonders, did tbe story remain so long untold? Why was the country allowed to believe tbat k villanions "little group of willful men” in the Senate had de. nied the wishes of tbe people, sa­ botaged us into isolationism, and helped to precipitate the second world conflict? President Wilson’s stature would not have been decreased bv reveal mg what Mr. Edson has called “an important new footnote to history.” But the record 0 . Lodge and the rest In tbe League debate, though none too shining at best, would hot appear as black as it has now be, come. After all, it is not a light thing to accuse dead men of having has­ tened such a conflict 'as this which, though half finished, we are still fighting. For it Is not too certain that even with America in the League, war could have been averted. There is too much evidence that there were men of other countries who "deep down in their hearts" did not really believe in the League. In any event, Mrs. McAdoorS be­ lated revelation is a good story, and a welcoming one. And her fath­ er's prophecy which she disclosed is penetratlngiv correct. Today the American people, bav. tng endnred another and more frightful lesson, really want a lea gne for peace. So do the people of the world. So, wc believe, do tbe peoples’ representatives at San Francisco, even though some are not yet wholly purged of narrow selt-|nterest And this time, we devoutly hope. Wilson’s dream will be realized.—Sallsbnry Post. We hope the Charlotte Observer and Winston-Salem Journal will copy this article. They shouli do some apologizing for the cussings they gave Republican Senators. The Poblic Uoderstands It Makes No Difference A transcontinental train recently pulled into a Pacific coast city 12 hours late. Passengers missed con. nections to many points. The last halfday on the train they had lit. tie or nothing to eat as the dining car ran out of food. You would have though caustic remarks about railroad service would have flown thick and fast, But a traveler on that train said: “Not one word of criticism did I bear. For 2,000 miles we had been passing freight trains and ttoop trains. The travelers all seemed to realize that their affairs were se­ condary and tbat the railroads were doing a HerucIean job, in keeping that volume of war traffic moving on schedule, and at the same time meeting the needs of civilians.” The failnre to complain about tbe railroads are overcoming as they carry both the war and domestic traffic of the nations industries and American citizens meet emergencies when put to tbe test.—Ex. Boost For Harold Stas- sen. The Dixon (Calif.) Tribune, which is independent in politics, says: “The Woodland Democrat, too, sees in Command Harold Stas, sen, former governor of Minnesota, the best hope for the Republican party as a presidential candidate. A good man, too, for tbe nation, comments the Democrat, which paper aforetimes has praised the man who gave the state of Min­ nesota one of its best administra­ tions and could have still been gov­ ernor if be had not elected to en- list in tbe U. S Navy at the out­ break of tbe war. Another indica­ tion of his worth is that President Roosevelt selected him as a repre­ sentative of this government to tbe San Francisco peace conference." It’s Not Fair It does no good to rave over the action ot the House of Representa­ tives in voting Congressmen an ex­ pense fund of $2,500 . each, tax- exempt, but the boys out to be a little ashamed ot themselves. They ask everybody else to hold the inflation line and then break right through it. And they should be thoroughly ashamed of the tax-exempt provi. sion. Who else i n the United States is income tax-exempt? The Representatives shouldn’t h a v e done it and those who voted a- gainst it are due high praise. They froze other people’s in­ comes. And for them to call this expese money is a subterfuge. It’s income no matter bow one looks at it. And the complaint tbat living has gone up in cost does’t hold for the'm any more than for others. It went up for all of us at the same time. Onr boys must beep on fight­ ing—we must keep on buy­ing WAR BONDS until vic­ tory is won. Keep on BACK­ ING THE ATTACK.

Nobody seems to be exactly sure about how Hitler met his death Some say that he was killed In ac­ tive combat, others that he had a hemmorrbage of some kind, aod still others that he committed sui­ cide. . So far as we're personally con­ cerned, it makes no difference. Let them say anything they want to a bout the mannei in which he met death: Hitler will go down In His­ tory as one of the most despicable characters that ever lived. The Germans themselves will agree to this, because Hitler led Germany to her ruin and destruction. There is no likelihood that he will be regarded as a martyr. As the years go by and as Germany battles the many problems and dif Acuities confronting her, the mem­ ory of Hitler will be regarded with more and more lutense hatred.—The State.

It depends upon whether there is suf­ ficient coal on hand when winter comes. There will not be sufficient. There hasn’t been sufficient for three winters. Homes have been poorly heated; people have begged for'coal when there was uone, and and that will be the situation next December and for the cold months of the next year. People are in­ formed that they will have to get along with 80 per cent of what they Had. last year. Children live in many of these homes, but don’t worry about tbem.

CHAFFIN, Clerki1Of Superior Court. !DIPLOMACY AT SAN FRANCISCO ; SAN FRANCISCO. — B y all odds !the m ost skillful diplom acy gam e at !this conference has been played by 'dapper, dignified Anthony E den of iG reat B ritain. H e has m anaged to com e out as the friend of all sides, and m ost im portant of all, the m ediator betw een R ussia and the U nited States. In other w ords, E den has com ­ pletely reversed the previous role of P resident R oosevelt, who up un- j til his death had acted as the m edi- ■ ator betw een Churchill and Stalin. [ The Churchill - Stalin rivalry w as : not m erely personal. It w as his­ toric. It w as based not only on the fact th at Churchill just after the la st w ar, urged the sending of Allied troops into R ussia to help the W hite R ussian generals overthrow the em ­ bryo Bolshevik regim e, but th at he flirted w ith the Cliveden set which ■ in 1939 advocated w ar betw een R us­ sia and G erm any w hile England sat on the side lines. This w as the basis for the per­ sonal suspicion betw een him and Stalin. B ut historically, Churchill w as carrying out a century-old B ritish policy of iso­ lating R ussia. F o r 100 years, the country w ith the g reatest land m ass in the w orld, R ussia, had been kept w ithout a w arm -w ater seaport by B ritain, the country w ith the g reatest navy in the w orld. T hat rivalry w as the reason for the A nglo-Japanese alliance, w here­ by the B ritish, w orking' through Japan, helped to stop R ussia from getting M anchuria and a w arm - w ater port on the Pacific. T liat rivalry w as behind B ritain’s sphere of influence in P ersia (now Iran ) to prevent R ussian use of the gulf of P ersia. T hat rivalry w as also the cause of the C rim ean w ar in w hich the B ritish fleet and B ritish troops actually landed on the sam e spot w here C hurchill, Stalin and R oosevelt la te r held their Y alta conference and w aged a bloody bat­ tle to prevent the C zar from com ­ ing down to the D ardanelles and get­ ting an outlet through the M editer­ ranean. F inally this 100-years-old Russo- B ritish rivalry w as behind B ritain’s taking L atvia, L ithuania, E stonia and Finland aw ay from R ussia after the last w ar to block her outlet to the B altic sea. Roosevelt Sits in M iddle. That rivalry continued during the T eheran - Y alta conferences, w ith Stalin and C hurchill both trading against each other and F ranklin Roosevelt sitting in the m iddle. A t Teheran the argum ent w as over a second front through the B al­ kans which Churchill favored, or through France, w hich Stalin fa­ vored. C hurchill w anted the Al­ lied arm ies to get into the B alkans— R ussia’s sphere of influence — and thereby keep the R ussians out. H e didn’t w ant Allied arm ies ruining factories and alienating the popula­ tion of w estern Europe—which w as to be B ritain’s sphere of influence. In the end Roosevelt tipped the scales in favor of Stalin—tow ard a second front through France. Once a t Teheran, C hurchill trying to poke a little fun a t Stalin, said: "M arshal, I have noticed th at when­ ever anyone com es into contact w ith ;you they becom e slightly pink.” To w hich Stalin replied: “And M r. P rim e M inister, any good doctor will tell you th at pink is the healthiest of all colors.” And Roosevelt, w anting to pour oil on the troubled w aters, said : “ G entlem en, le t m e re­ m ind you th at there is nothing m ore beautiful th an all the col­ ors of the rainbow .” But at the end, as ChnrcbiU bade farewell to Stalin, there w as still tension betw een them . “ W ell, goodbye, M arshal,” said the prim e m inister, “ I’ll see you in B erlin.” ' “ Y es,” shot back Stalin, " I in a tan k and you in a pullm an car.” Stettinius Loses Out. Roosevelt w as shrew d enough to continue a s m iddle m an even a t Y alta, despite the fact th a t he ■was slipping physically; H e kept both R ussia and G reat B ritain in the position of playing up to the U nited States. The loss of th at strategic bargain­ ing pow er is the m ost im portant de­ velopm ent of this conference. Stet- j tinius has lost w hat Roosevelt had and Anthony E den has cleverly stepped into his place. The U nited S tates has now slipped into the position of being the chief riv al and potential opponent of R us- 6 ia, w hile E den has m aneuvered so th a t E ngland sits in the m iddle, able to throw its w eight to one side or the other.* * * C onference Cross C urrents G reek Foreign M inister Sophi- anopoulos a t first w as considered a B ritish puppet but surprised every­ one by voting against the B ritish on A rgentina.

The distribution of these posters was one of the first steps taken by the war department to emphasize that there must be no letdown in production as a result of the end of war in Europe. End of World’s Greatest Conflict When Col. Gen.

OAPPY CHANDLER, the new baseball commissioner, was a first-class Kentucky governor and a first-class Kentucky U. S. senator. He has been a good .all-around ath­ lete in many sports, including foot­ ball, baseball and basketball. He has been a sportsman at heart—a clean, honest shooter.But he may not be as happy as he is today, or has been through the years, when the present and the postwar problems of baseball fall across his neck. For these -prob­ lems w ill be many and varied and tough. They Happy Chandier w iJ1 retJmJ e .only sound judg­ m ent on C oinm issioner C handler’s p a rt but also the ability to face m ore than a few club ow ners who a re go­ ing to look largely to th eir side of the argum ent. They have the m oney invested, and th a t’s alw ays a big point in m ost hum an debates. It isn’t any question of crookedness th a t H appy w ill have to face, but now and the.i a m a tte r of c ra ft and cunning. I can tell Happy that practically every ciub owner and ball player had so much respect for Judge Lan­ dis that it amounted almost to fear. They wanted no part of the fiery, aggressive judge. After the war there will be over 4.000 of I these ball players shed­ ding their fighting uniforms for base­ ball clothes. These men had con­ tracts before they left, varying in financial amounts up to Hank Greenberg’s top of around $50,000. A majority of these may not be as good as they were after two or three- years service in army and navy. But those who return—and many won’t --will expect to get what they re­ ceived or were guaranteed before moving into war. They won’t expect to take any cut, until they ha.ve had at least a year to prove their places in the game. It may be that every ciub owner will fall into line and pay old sal­ aries. It may be that many won't But, ,the new commissioner must sup­ port the ball player to the limit-' not the club owner. Cardinal Stars The Cardinals are the leading ex­ ample. Sam Breadon’s Redbirds had more good ball players than any two clubs you can mention, includ­ ing quality and quantity. If the Jap part of the war is over within a year the Cardinals will have more good ball players on hand than any two teams can handle. Take the case of the Cooper broth­ ers. They were asking $30,000 a year from the Cardinals, togeth­ er, before Walker Cooper was taken into service. Both know that the Yankees, Giants or Tigers would be extremely pleased to give them $60,000 or $60,000 a year. But St. Louis isn’t a good baseball town, so far as attendance goes. St. Louis is no New York, Detroit, Brooklyn, Chicago or one of several other major league cities. The Cooper brothers at $30,000 a year, combined, would have been a tre­ mendous baseball bargain almost anywhere else. Plenty of Headaches When the war is entirely over, Happy Chandler will have at least 4.000 headaches which he must face, •regardless of what the baseball owners think or want. Here is the way I rate baseball’s im portance— 1. The players who make the game — including, of course, the stars who help draw the crowds. 2. Xbe fans or crowds who make baseball possible as a major spec­ tacle. They pay the salaries and keep up the ball parks. 3. The owners—who can get in and out at almost any time—and who in the main get into baseball through the motives of profit and publicity. _ The latter comes last. If they quit, others are more than ready to take their places. With few exceptions, they hardly count in the building of the game. They have contributed less than any other factor. It is for this reason that Happy Chandler must look after the game first — the players second — the crowds third — and refuse to let the owners shove him around. Hap­ py Chandler has been the best-na- tured man I ever met in sport. But to carry out this job he now facesi he will need all the iron a single system can carry. Unless he does, he has traded happiness for $50,000 a year. It isn’t worth it. The Black Sox Series It was 26 years ago that the Black Sox scandal developed. Lately we talfted that famous series over with Earl Greasy Neale, who played with the Reds. “We had no idea at all this series was crooked,” Greasy said. “How could we? There had been rumors about Chick Gandil, Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver. But GandiTs hit­ting beat us in one game.

I can’t show you until m orning. So you’ll have to stay rig h t here until daylight.” “ W hut?” “ You can sleep rig h t w here you a r e .. T hat’s w hat you w ant, isn’t it? It is, isn’t it?” “I don’t believe this,” M elody said. “I ’ll m ake out all rig h t som e­ w here else,” she said shortly. “W ill you do it? W ill you do w hat I ask, and stay put, for som ething new ?” The m oon w as w ell up now, and v ery bright. Its gunm etal half-light, color blind to all red or yellow tones, w as so c lear in th a t dry desert air th a t he could have read an obituary notice by it; but the shadow s w ere a s black a s if they w ere painted out w ith soot. K eeping to the band of dark n ess close to th e house w all, M elody Joiies m oved around the cor­ n e r of the house to the back, w here the b ear cub w as chained. The b e ar cub grow led a t him once, and then accepted him , perhaps be- : cause he had com e from w ithin. W hile it snuffled a t the wool sox in w hich he stood, M elody sifted the ’ ■ night w ith his eyes. .; W here he now stood he faced the " b arn and the broken up-country. H e com bed the foreground first, then the distan t contours; and he had tim e to estim ate this country into w hich . he had ridden by m istake, sensing its shape. The bear1 cub. stopped snuffling, and began to w orry at M elody’s sock. M elody m oved out of reach and sa t down. The cub followed to th e end of its chain, then sa t down beside him w ith its hind feet in its paw s, and looked a t the country like M elody. It both looked and acted like a very little potbellied dw arf, of ; a m an, so m uch as M elody could ; fee. .. M elody first knew som ething w as w rong again because the b ear cub :• w as so still. L eaning hard upon pure instinct, M elody centered the whole soul of his attention upon the ;■ shadow of a rock, h alf w ay up a J hill behind a steep corral. i- N et because he w as brave, not ’ even because he w as curious, but J. because it seem ed, to be th e next . i thing to do, M elody Jones relaxed : his hands and stepped into the m oon­ s' light. H e knew he could be. killed S from alm ost any place, w ithin rea- P sonable gunshot; but nothing hap- P. pened. A fter a m om ent o r tw o of » standing there, Melody, w alked for- '-I w ard, silent in his sock feet, tow ard ' th e door of th e b am . M elody Jones’ vague bew ilder- 1 m ent w as a w ild and casual thing com pared to M onte Ja rra d ’s total astonishm ent. M onte h ad not seen M elody m oving in the black shadow 2 of th e house. H e had not even seen "I him w hen M elody silently crossed i th e th irty y ard s of open m oonlight betw een house and b a m . Bi those, P- m om ents M onte h ad been standing b raced betw een th e bales, and he V w as holding his eyes shut w hile he I w aited fo r a certain am ount of thun­ d e r and lightning to stop playing .“ around in his w ounded side. H e w as m ending very fast, m uch faster - th an he could have hoped, but the -i firs t. 'exercise in th re e days w as s som ething he h ad to p ay for. T hen he thought he h eard breath- :-i tag,- w here no breathing should have been, and he opened his eyes to see M elody Jo n es ' silhouetted in the P m oonlit door, easily w ithin reach of •?*<■ M onte’s hand. M onte J a rra d “h ad “'no' notion of- who M elody w as; he had never seen him in his life. H e failed to m atch up, this unaccounted visitor; wfth the tran ip rid er who had b een m istaken for M onte him self in Payneville. Be- y o hd/the fa c t-th a t the figure w as th a t of a stranger, and had appeared w ith am azing stealth, identity m ade’ no difference. The country w as full of people, hunting for M onte Jarrad.. M elody Jones finished scratching his head and w andered off a little w ay through the tangle of im pedi­ m enta in the b am . 1V- r A s soon as his back w as turned M onte drew his gun. M elody seem ed to h ear the faint w hisper of the leather. He' turned back, 1 looked about him suspiciously; and then ,walked, straight tow ard M onte. The m an betw een the bales could not believe th a t he w as unseen, the thin stripes of m oonlight m ade the figure ,of. M elody Jones so plain. . M onte’s 'six-gun centered’ on M elody’s belt buckle, and the ham m er m oved back silently, ju st short of the click, ..M onte Ja rra d ’s first astonishm ent ,had passed off, and he knew now w hat he had to do. H e still did not dare to fire. H e believed now that his one best bet w as to brain the stranger w ith his gun barrel, as quietly as w as practicable, and hide him under the hay. SMelody Jones unhurriedly stood up. C asually he hitched up his belt a s he strolled to the m oonlit door. M onte subsided into the shadow s as. M elody took one m ore leisurely look a t the hay rake, th e wagon w heels, and the d ark space w here’ M onte stood. Then M elody left the barn, and m oved w ithout haste tow ard the house. Changing his position, M onte w atched M elody as-h e w alked p ast the door of the ,de Longpre house, and proceeded w ithout any particu­ la r caution a lo n g 'th e house w all. H e saw M elody com e to the window w hich M onte knew belonged to Cher­ ry ’s room . N onchalantly, ,as m at- “ You have been m ixing w ith the w rong people.” ter-of-factly as if he w ere vaulting Onto a horse, M elody put his hands on the Window ledge, and sw ung a leg over .the sill. Still unhurriedly, he disappeared w ithin. M onte’s breath sucked in through his teeth. G eorge F u ry w as riding in,, relax­ ing caution as he cam e close. H is carbine w as in his hands, b u t’he Was now in the act of putting it aw ay in his saddle boot. This nonchalance puzzled C herry until a m om ent later w hen She saw , w ith a keen chagrin, the reason for G eorge F ury’s assur­ ance. M elody Jones w as up already, and sitting on the kitchen steps, in: full view.’ H e plainly had been up for som e tim e, for h e’h ad had tim e to find and catch the horse he called H arry H ehshaw . ' T he pony w as sad­ dled and packed w ith M elody’s bed­ roll, and w as now finishing a heavy b ait of oats laid out on a gunny sack a t the edge of the rickety gallery. C herry lay back soundlessly, m ore th an w illing to hear- wKat M elody and G eorge F u iy h ad to s a y to each other w hen they thought th ey 'w ere alone. G eorge F u ry looked M elody over ironically, w hich w as m ostly w asted in th e bad. light. T hen he stepped down, dropping h is split reins to the ground and ’ loosened his cinches w ith . elaborate deliberation before turning upon, his partn er. “I w ent and looked for you by the crick w here I left you,” M elody said, “ and I found H arry H enshaw w here you tied him . B ut' you w as gone.” G eorge eased him self stiffly to the step beside M elody. “ E xpect m e to set th ere all night?” he grunted. M elody looked a t him gravely. "G eorge,” he stud, “ I’ve rode w ith you a fur pieced and I sw ar a feller don’t live th a t can say you would or you w ouldn’t.” G eorge’s custom ary snort cam e out only a s a long sigh; he needed his coffee. “I been down to P ayne­ ville.” ., , “I briing you a m essage.” G eorge began digging in his various pockets. “I got it som ew heres here.” “ M essage? I don’t know anybody in Payneville.” “You know one feller a t least— the feller you hit. This h ere’s from him .” H e handed M elody a balled- up w ad of w rapping paper. “ You b etter read it—if you still can read .” The note G eorge F ury h ad brought from Payneville didn’t have m uch in it either. It sim ply said: You better com e down here and talk, A nd quick. “ T’ain’t signed.” “N am e's Ira W aggoner. H e w as the stage driver on the coach M onte J a rra d held up, on the Stinkw ater road. ‘Give this to M onte Ja rra d ,’ he says. H e still thinks you’re Mon­ te Ja rra d .” “ I finally found a m an a feller could talk to down there,” G eorge F u ry w ent on. “ The tow n is ju st as crazy as it w as; th eir m inds is et out by drinking w ater from the Poisonberry R iver, I figger now. B ut this feller w as a bullw hacker, just passin’ through, and he hadn’t drunk any w ater, so he w as all right.” “ Is he the one th a t give you the black eye?” “ T hat com e later. . . . This fel­ ler told m e a pile of stuff about this M onte Ja rra d you’re supposed to be. Everybody in the whoop - h urrah country knows m ore about him than you do. I don’t know how it is, but som ehow you are the one blink th a t don’t never seem to get the w ord.” “H eck, G eorge.” M elody seem ed depressed. “I don’t know w hy you talk thataw ay. A feller w ould think I done som ething.” M elody studied the note from Ira W aggoner again. “ C herry,” he said, w ithout raising his voice, “ com e out here a m inute.” T here w as a m om ent’s silence, and C herry sounded chastened, as she answ ered him . “ AU right, Mel­ ody.” C heriy looked pale, and showed blue circles under h e r eyes. H er hands w ere trying to unrum ple h er hair, w hich still looked lighter than h e r face. There, w as no exchange of greetings. M elody handed h er the note G eorge h ad brought. “ You know som ethin’ about this?” he asked. C herry studied the m essage for a long tim e. “ This isn’t for you,” she said a t last. She looked hum orless and scared. “Is th a t w hat you w anted m e to do,” M elody asked, “ go down there and straighten this feller out?” “N o!” C herry’s nervous balance w as breaking up. “ T hat’s the one thing yo m ust not do!” “ W ell,” M elody said slowly, “if you don’t w ant m e to go down there, I suppose w e could have him com e out h ere.” “ You m ustn’t talk to Ira W ag­ goner a t a ll!” C herry insisted, on the verge of hysteria. “ N ot now or any other tim e; no m a tte r w here you run into him n ext!” “ W hat fur not, C herry? H e know som ethin’?” C herry looked a s if she w ere go­ ing to burst into tears, but she pulled herself together. “I didn’t say th at.” “ All you said w as,” . M elody ad­ m itted, “you w as going to show m e som ething you w anted m e to do.” C herry snuffled back the threaten­ ing te a rs and m ade h er voice quiet. ‘T m going to. Hook up the buck- board for m e—you know the team I use. I ’ll get you som e breakfast w hile you hitch. And I ’ll tak e you to w here—w here w e have to go.” “A ll right, C herry.” H e w ent to get his la ria t off of H arry H enshaw . “ M elody,” G eorge said w hen Cher­ ry h ad gone into th e house, “you going off som e place w ith th a t girl?” '“ Ain’t you cornin’, G eorge?” G eorge seem ed w eary and old. “M elody; I ain’t.” W hen they h ad got the buckboard down th e axle-cracking tra il to the valley floor, w ith H arry H enshaw on lead behind it, they drove about four m iles along th e tw isting Poison- b erry R iver. T hen CSierry de Long- p re turned the team out of th e ruts, into the unbroken sage. They p res­ ently cam e out into an open space in w hich lay the charred, w eathered ruins of a ranch. C herry pulled up, and sa t listening. She asked nervously, “D id you h e ar a horse; w hinny?” “No,” M elody said, “because th ere w asn’t any done so. If they had, this te a m w ould have know ed it, w hether w e h eard it or not. W hut’s the m atter? Y ou expecting to m eet som ebody?” “ No—of course not—” “ T hen w hy did you bring th a t she gun?” C herry looked startled. “ Ivsee you put it under the s e a t/’ M elody explained. ■ “ I brought it,” C herry said slow­ ly, "because you’re in bad trouble.

Y ou m ean you know how to fight a gun, sam e a s a m an?” < “ I know how to fix ’em ,” C herry said sheepishly, “ because I clean ’em for F ev er C rick and A very all th e ; tim e.

Foiur hundred silent y ears—such is the period betw een the Old and the N ew T estam ents. T here w as no voice from G od during those y ears, and spiritual darkness prevailed largely in the land. B ut there w ere those who kept th eir lam p of faith in God brightly shining even in the darkness. The political history of Israel dur­ ing this tim e is partially known from secular sources. Palestine w as successively under the rule of the G entile pow ers until a t the tim e of Jesu s’ birth they w ere under R om an dom ination. Spiritually th a t age m ay w ell be described by th e w ords used in II Tim othy 3:5, “ having th e form of godliness but denying the pow er thereof,” referring to the last days. T here is m uch here th a t fits our day’s decadent churchliness. I. Looking for th e L ord (M ai. 3: 1-3). A lthough they had reached the state of spiritual pride and self-suf­ ficiency w here they talked back to G od (see the “ w hereins” of 1:6, 7; 2:14, 17, etc.) Isra e l still talked about looking for the L ord to com e. They knew from their prophets th a t H e would one day com e to judge th e ir enem ies, and they longed for th a t day; b u t they failed to see th at it would be a day of judgm ent for them (vv. 2, 3). H ow m uch like those of our day w ho like to talk about the love of God, H is m ercy and H is long-suf­ fering, but w ho m inim ize o r forget th a t H e h ates sin and dem ands holi­ ness of life from H is people. The forerunner of C hrist, John the B aptist, is in m ind in verse I, but the “m essenger of the covenant” is doubtless the "angel of Jehovah,” one of the Old T estam ent nam es for our L ord Jesus (see John 8:56). . C hrist is com ing! Such is the m essage to Israel, and H e w ill'com e a s a refiner’s fire. C hrist has com e! T h a t is our m essage to m en now, and H e has com e a s a divider of m en, a cleanser and refiner o f ■hearts, th a t we, too, m ay be ready for th a t day of judgm ent w hich is .to com e w hen H e appears again in all H is glory. H. Living for the Lord (M ai. 3:16, 17). W hen others forgot dr m isrepre­ sented th e Lord, w hen they w ere content w ith a form al w orship w ith­ out the pow er of godly living, there w ere a faithful group who “ spake one to another” about the Lord. How exceedingly precious! N otice th a t the L ord “ hearkened and heard.” H e know s w hen H is people so m uch as talk to one an­ other about H im , and H e notes it in H is book of rem em brance. W hen m en a re forgetting H im , H e is rem em bering those who a re true to H im . They a re H is precious jew els! How vitally im portant C hristian fellow ship is in a d ark and troubled day. Do not m iss the joy and strength w hich w ill com e into your life as you join others in God’s house to speak-of H im and to think “on H is nam e.” H e m ay be all w e have (th a t w as tru e in Israel), but H e is alw ays and eternally enough. HI. Light from the Lord (Luke 1:68, 72, 77, 78). The silence of the 400 years w as broken, and th e spiritual darkness w hich beclouded the land w as pushed back. God, who h ad In the: p a st spoken through the prophets,' now spoke through th e com ing of H is Son (H eb. 1:1-3). B eing the Light of the w orld (John 8:12; 9:5, H e shone forth w ith the “ brightness of H is glory.” L ittle w onder th a t godly Zachari- a s, th e fath er of the forerunner Jcfim,. sings, “ B lessed be the L ord G od of Israel, for he h ath visited and redeem ed his people” (v. 6 8 ).He of whom all the prophets give witness, to whom every one of the sacrifices pointed forward, the Saviour and Redeemer, has come to show forth God’s mercy and to give, not only to Israel, but to all' men, “the knowledge of salvation” and the remission of their sins. Thg “dayspring” is at hand; a Light ' has - shined forth into the. darkness of mefr's hearts. Jesus the Christ, the Saviour, has come! 1IT. Liberty in the Lord (GaL 4: 4.5). ; ■<: Men who had been servants under, the law became sods of God in Je^uS Christ. Redemption .seta-a person free from the bondage1 of the law and brings him into tlto family ,of God as His child (Rom.: 8:14-17). ‘ • \ How does one become, a.-jchUd of God? By accepting God's only way of cleansing from sin" (Heb.19:11*, 14, 22)—the shed blood of; Christ. Believing in Him and making con­fession of Him before the world; (Rom. 10:9, 10), we are saved and have the right to call ourselves the- sons of God (John 1:12, 13). That blessed liberty in Christ is for you who read these lines, if you will but turn to Christ now! Tinil you do it? AROUND t h .

RUSSIAN DELEGATES SHOW AMIABLE WORLD RELATIONS SAN FRANCISCO. — Definite and positive assertions as to what this conference and the world will do are being flung rather freely around. A commonly popular one in the news is that the conference—as one exceptionally able writer has put it — has proceeded to the point where a new era is assured. Behind this line of current thought running through the news and com­ ment is the idea that the Russians have been brought around to accept­ ance of democratic methods. They gave in on the Argentine question and Molo­tov afterward-called on State Secretary Stettinius and made certain other ges­tures creating a flew amiable and friendly spirit. It is thus true enough that the atti­ tude with which Mr. Molotov, if not Russia herself, came into this con­ ference, is being altered. But down deep inside every­ one here knows peace and the settlement of world problems will be a long process. The mil- lenium is nowhere here yet visi­ ble to my eyes. The precise de­ gree of progress that has been made is that Russia has shown a willingness to cooperate and . that this has put the delegates naturally in a better frame of mind. Now is this new spirit can be car- tied forward to the application of all problems, then the new era will truly have arrived. But to keep a proper perspective of the actual condition, it must be reported that the prob­ lems still remain — all of them —many grave, deep problems of every economic, financial and poli­ tical nature. TOiat has been done here so far has been merely to get an agreement on the organization of ,the conference. Therefore it should be plain future hopes here can not be based on “the receptivity” of this governments attitude toward Russia, but upon the receptivity of the Russian attitude toward demo­cratic processes. Action Taken Slowly. The questions I hear asked by men here who have given earnest thought to the matter all run down to that single, focal proposition. ! It took this world peace meeting .exactly a week to get down to the ,business of naming its committees and commissions to do the actual work for which it was assembled. During that week the loud speak­ ers of the opera house recorded speeches from all the interested parties and the organizational dis­putes of the major powers. The speeches set forth large­ ly the pleas of the small powers for “mutual respect of na­tions,” !‘recognition of human values,” “Principles of justice” —not far from the line which Mr. Truman laid down at the outset in his appeal for “simple justice.” I would say that as ' far as words are concerned most of the nations are not far apart, but some of them were not rep­ resented in all these expres­sions. It may be reported, also, that ,the smaller nations will win conces­sions in the Dumbarton formula, the extent and nature of which will .be ironed out by bargaining—and this represents progress also. ! Behind all these developments however, the nations were sound- ;lng each other out. Prom their ex­ periences they have a more com­ plete knowledge of just how much |each one wants. ■ To that extent, great progress has t)een made. But it would be safer to report progress here—not victory. i The nine point program of Dum- tarton Oaks amendments adopted by the American delegation repre­sented quite a personal victory for Senator Vandenberg. It was the Michigan Republican who first {demanded the main points such as inclusion of the word and ideal of !“Justice” through the charter and opportunity for future peaceful !change of the world setup as well !as the charter. Other forces pre­ scribed what seemed in general to 'me to be basic changes of theory ifrom Dumbarton Oaks along the! jsame lines such as specific inclusion Iof the Atlantic charter ideals, re­ turn to international law, world {court, safeguarding human rights, <etc. , From a political standpoint the doctrines of international law and (world court have a Republican orl- lgin, while tie Atlantic charter and jhuman rights lines were developed by Mt. Roosevelt. The improve­ ments devised by Americans here !therefore represent a genuine com­promise and exhibit what I think is |an outstanding development of this ■meeting, namely a return to a cpirit of cooperation among Ameri­can' political interests which is so !Vitally essential. Most of the in- eide voting in the delegation- has £een unanimous. M V S S H O t P *i........1-........-f*-1----ir «.n i r i r - i «/ ...................«-------- -* <■ Wv w * ^ mWk Extend the Meat With Noodles and Gravy <See Recipes Below) m Point-Easy Patterns Some of our homemakers fed that rationing has become so tight, it is difficult to set a tasty dish before the family. It’s true we are learn­ing to use a great variety of foods, but all these can be made delicious as well as pleasing as to appearance. Humble meats like hamburger and liver can be dressed attractively and made to taste like high-point foods. Imagine eating golden brown, wafer-thin pancakes, filled with a well-sea­ soned meat-mix­ ture. Good? Of course, pass the seconds, please. Tou can stuff small slices of . liver with your favorite CelerJ or onion dressing and braise them in a £ vory tomato sauce. There’s little better.' U you have taken it a little bit easy on the main course, you can always go the limit with the des­ serts. Cream pies are luscious even though their whipped cream toppings are missing. Frothy egg whites are just as pretty and tasty. Fresh vegetables and fruit plat­ ters are ideal for adding color to the table. Try a freshly cooked snowy white cauliflower in the cen­ ter of a platter and surround it with slivered green beans and tomato cups with golden com kernel cen­ ters. If it’s a fruit platter you’ve set your cap for, then you’ll like melon (preferably cantaloupe with its center scooped out and filled with a fruit gelatin salad, and garnished on the platter with slices of pine­ apple mounted with fresh berries or grapes^ Hambnrger Filled Potato Pancakes (Serves 6 to 8 ) 1 pound hamburger 2 teaspoons salt H cap milk Z tablespoons fine, dry bread crumbs 2 tablespoons fat 4 cups grated raw potatoes 2 tablespoons grated onions Vs teaspoon pepper J 2 eggs, beaten Vt cup floor 2 tablespoons milk Combine- meat, I teaspoon salt, milk and bread crumbs. Mix well and shape into thin patties. Brown in hot fat. Combine potatoes, re­ maining salt, pepper, eggs, flour and milk. Mix well. Remove meat from frying pan. Add more fat. Place a small amount of the potato mixture into hot fat. Top with meat pattie. Then cover with more potato mix­ ture (potato mixture should form a thin coating). Fry slower until brown. Tuni and brown on other side. These Hamburger Filled Pan­cakes may be served with sauer­ kraut. Place tiie kraut in the, cen­ ter of a platter and arrange pan­cakes In a border around it. Lynn Says: Meat Memos: Extend low-point meats with breading, gamtehing and fillings to make them appe­ tizing and point-saving. Bacon can be dipped in beaten egg and toead crtimbs, then fried and served a3 an a^petizing meat course. , - »: t- -t . Honeycomb or pocket tripe be­ comes savory when, given the egg- and bread crumb treatment. Serve it with broiled bacon and tomatoes for flavor contrast. Ground lamb patties take on flavor value when served with grilled fresh pineapple and toma­to slices. Small shoulder roasts will stretch further when stuffed with bread, celery, parsley or onion dressing. Make plenty ot rich gravy for a fill-in feature. .

Looking at HOLLYWOOD Gene Tierney : A COMMITTEE of connoisseurs I in chic headed by Lady Mendl recently named Gene' Tierney the jbest dressed girl in moviedom. ; Just prior to that a national ^magazine listed Gene among the top four beauties of the screen, the others being Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman, and Linda Darnell. And since 20th-Century-Fox’s tal­ ent poll evidently puts her at the acting top—she’s come off with all the best roles the lot has to offer in 1945—1 thought it time to find out how Gene feels about life in gen­ eral. It’s amusing to know that the next two Tierney releases will not display Gene's modern sartorial talents. When I came on the “Dragonwyck” set, where she was making a scene with Vincent Price, she was wearing the fashions of 1944. And in “A Bell for Adano,” which is being shown in theaters this month, she’s clad in the picturesque tatterdemalion of a peasant girl in a captured Italian town. But not until “Leave Her to Heaven,” which Gene begins in late spring, will she wear a chic mod­em wardrobe again—the sort of clothes that made “Laura” such a hit with women. Take It From Me Since nobody has gotten around to awarding Gene the medal for brains—such evidently not being in­ cluded in obvious star assets—let me be the one to name her one of the most nimble minds in one of the steadiest little heads ever crowned by laurels. Designers love to create bizarre and extravagant whimsies to emphasize her intrigu­ ing face and rhythmic design. But in her private life and tastes Gene is conservative to a degree. Wears little or no makeup, and her shining brown hair is the precise shade nature gave her. ; So, because she’s young, super-' lovely, mother of a 15-month-old daughter, Daria, and a happy wife, Gene’s fans have come to think of her as a sort of high priest­ ess of the modem theme. A girl of tomorrow. Nothing is farther from the truth. “Hedda,” she said, “sometimes I really think our fans believe we live in a sort of crystal and plastic dream world. But I’m not looking forward to jumping into a helicop­ ter and landing on the studio roof instead of driving down the canyon each morning with good old Butch, my police dog, on the front seat be­side me. And, aside from the fact in personal tastes, I’m really not looking forward to the day when television, all-out air transport, and chores done by robots in solar houses will be a reality. Think how much charm it will take from living. Besides, few of the young things of today realize it will take years and years to develop such living. A lot of my friends seem to feel the post-victory year will be something worthy of Jules Veme’s imagina­tion. I suggested she was probably in­ fluenced by the character of Mi­ randa, the lovely heroine of Ernst Lubitsch’s production “Dragon* wyck.” Extremes Are Ont Gene has just as definite ideas about fashion, too. Although she has been named the best dressed woman in Hollywood, she frowns on extremes. Boiled down to a couple of essentials, her don’ts on dress come to: “Don’t be conspicuous. Conspicu­ ous makeup, color, line, detail, and combinations violate the rules ot good taste. The well dressed wom­ an looks just right for the occasion r-blends into the moment.” Gene is thrilled at playing the role of the evil sister in “Leave Her to Heaven.” “Ellen has acting quality, and that is what an actress should con­ sider,” she says. “The bad girls of fiction have given more opportuni­ ties to stars then the sweet young things.”' I remember when Gene Tierney played half-castes, outlaw girls, Eurasians—for a time she was al­ most as typed in the sarong as Dotty Lamour, or threatened to be. She didn’t rise easily into the high place on the screen in which Sie now finds herself, although she is prac­tically cameraproof, undoubtedly one of the best lens subjects in the industry today. Sbe has gracious- ness and much personal charm, and a complexion of flawless beauty. Chit-Chats on Thit and TAot ' Some new buys indicate picture trends.

Smithsonian Credited First Plane Flight Incorrecdy In 1903, the Wright brothers flew the first man-carrying airplane nine days after one made by Doc­tor Samuel Langley had proved a failure. The doctor was so piqued that he had his machine placed on exhibition in the Smithsonian Institution, where he had been an !official for 25 years, and called it ,the first plane to fly with human cargo, says Collier’s. Eleven ‘years later, Glenn Curtiss was !asked to prove that it was capable Jof flight, and he flew it, but only .after making 35 improvements, in­ cluding a better engine. I It was not until 1942 that the Smithsonian finally admitted in an 'official publication that the Wrights ,had built the first machine and 'apologized for the attitude it had !maintained for almost 40 years.

P r e s i d e n t O s m e n a P r e d i c t s J a p s W i l l B e H a r d T o B e a t ■ WASHINGTON, D.

P resid en t Os- m ena’s s ta te ­m e n t w a s re ­ leased by Briga­ d ie r G e n e ra l Carlos P. Romulo, resident commis­ sioner of the Philippines to the United States, at the Philippine of­ fices here. President Osmena said:“Needless to say, we Filipinos are very pleased with the signal suc­ cesses achieved by the United States artd her alllgs during recent months. After a long and hard struggle, the Germans have been pushed to the brink of overwhelming defeat and the end of the war in Europe is now clearly in sight. “In the Pacific, our gains have OSMENA been no less impressive. Under the inspiring leadership of such men as General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz, the Japanese have been dial lodged from one position after an­ other in their ill-gotten empire. In this connection, my people and I are extremely grateful that the Philippines are now being liberated from the tyrannical rule of the enemy. “Happy as I am that my country will soon be able to live in peace again, much remains to be done be­fore Japan is fully beaten. Aside from the additional campaigns which will be needed to obtain military victory in the Pacific, there is also the human factor to be considered in that other peoples of the F ar East eagerly await to be freed from the enemy. We Filipinos know only too well from experience what it means to be under Japanese domination. “One of the outstanding feats of the war has undoubtedly been the effective fashion in which the United States has overcome the formidable obstacles of distance in supplying the Pacific. Large quantities of supplies will be needed, however, to deliver the final crushing blows against a ruthless and fanatical enemy. AU of us can make certain that these sup­ plies are available for our armed forces by giving enthusiastic support to the Seventh War Loan Drive.” 7 ON FARMS throughout the Nation this scene Is being repeated daily in, antiApation of the Mighty Seventh War Loan as farmers buy War BondS with an eye to future electrical developments planned in the post-war period. z o o x i m AffJSAD GEORCE & BENSONPntlittl-Mttiitt Celltft Sttttf, Jktktnu Competition About 23 years ago people In all walks of life bfegan to notice and talk: about competition between indus­ tries. It was new then and inter­ esting. Before that, competition was ipiderstood to exist between people and firms in the same industry—: merchant vs. merchant, railroad vs. railroad, sawmUl vs. sawmill, etc. But after World War I it was a changed business world, plain to see. Among the modest newcomers in that remote era was a product called rayon. It was manufactured in the form of yam, like wool and cotton1 yarns. The price to weavers was $2.80 a pound against 50tf for cotton yarn. Last year 55tf a pound was the price of both rayon and cotton yams, and rayon was on the market as a fibre, very much like cotton fibre, but less expensive. Bayon Has Grown Back In 1919 the American people bought less than 2% as much rayon as cotton. Last year the ratio was 20% and rayon had captured quite! a slice of cotton's export demand. Europeans earn less than Amer­ icans and they pay more attention to a low price. If it were not for the war using up all both industries can produce rayon would probably be giving cotton some tough com­ petition. When the war ends these two big industries are faced with a straggle for sales in world markets. It is anybody’s guess now how the Strag­ gle will turn out, but King Cotton is not licked. The cotton industry is still much bigger; still employs more people than any other Amer­ ican industry. Besides, sm art cot­ ton men understand how rayon made its remarkable gains. Volume and Wages Rayon started out the American way. It had relatively large invest­ ments in machinery. With good tools it turned out large volumes of rayon per worker. On a basis of big results from their day’s work the men who worked drew good wages. At the same time large out­ puts of rayon per m an every day made it possible for prices to go lower and lower each year, sales to become bigger and bigger. Working people in America have a right to live well. Whm they earn good wages they do live welL Money they spend is the very life blood of national prosperity. But before they can earn good pay they have to turn out lots of merchan­ dise per worker. And in order to produce goods in volume they must have good tools. It was a successful plan with rayon and it will work with cotton. It Costs Something People say there is a practical cotton picker ready for introduction after the war. It will cost a lot more than one big sack and a string for each member of a share-crop­ per's family; it will likewise pick more cotton in a day than they can pick in a week. Efficient tools call for capital investment. It means laying out money, but efficient tools are worth it. People say we will see many mechanical cotton choppers after the war. It is not impossible. This will increase the number of acres Ot cotton per worker; make more yield per day for every man. The picker and Die chopper will create high wages and good living for a lot of people. But rayon can win its war with cotton if cotton tries to stay In the field armed with hoes and gunny-sacks.
