If everybody could, or would, control himself in his relations rela-tions with other peope, there would not need to be a single policeman in the world. Policemen, the world has regretfully found, are necessary. nec-essary. Why? Because there are a certain, number of people who cannot, or will not,, exercise such control over themselves them-selves and their acts as make others reasonably safe. Why is a free country free? Because,5 by and large; its people have managed. to exert enough self-control, self-discipline self-discipline so that their affairs are run without continual control from outside or above. The American people now have a magnificent opportunity oppor-tunity to show themselves worthy of freedom from strict control. The country admittedly faces certain dangers, and not the least of them is the danger of runaway prices and inflation. . There fs talk of government price-fixing, 'government setting of wages, government limitation on profits. Why? Because if there are no limitations on those things, inflation infla-tion is inevitable, a common disaster dragging all down with it. The state is bound to protect against such disasters in one way or another. Nobody wants complete state control. Farmers don't want state-set prices. Workers don't want state-set wages, to say nothing of state-set hours and job locations. Manufacturers Manu-facturers don't want state-set limits on profits, any further controls. How to avoid them? Self-control seems to be the onlv way. The farmers must not object to release of agricultural surpluses, even though that keeps prices down, and they must resist that hankering for $2 wheat. The workers must not strike for arbitrary reasons, reasons connected only with politics and union" administration ; only as a last resort to protect their position in relation to a cost of living that has already risen. The manufacturers must not seek extraordinary profits, or try to corner defense business at the expense of the small producer. The ordinary consumer must not rush to buy goods produced in competition with armament ; he must reserve his spare spending power by buying defense bonds. Those are hard words, but true words. If self-restraint of this kind is not exercised, control must come from some other source; and nobody, not the farmers, not the workers, not the employers, will like it. , There is . only one .way to avoid centralized f,ontrnl ... in times like these that is by exercise of rigorous self-control. Never, Never, Never I Why must Hitler fail in the long run? The dispatch recently printed in the Swedish newspaper news-paper Dagens Nyheter gives the clue. According to this paper, the "after-the-war" plan for Norway has been agreed upon between Quisling, Norway's betrayer, and the satrap Terboven, in active charge there for the Nazis! The Germans would remain in the important towns as a garrison and a "guarantee of the security of the country." Norwegians would be allowed to govern the rest of their country provided pro-vided that the Quisling faction became "so deeply anchored anchor-ed in the rest of the country that its permanent leadership is considered assured." When that happens, the "New Order" in Europe Is assured. And when will that be? Never, never, never! OtTOURWAY by, Williams if NEVER VOU WHY OM f MAIL. MAIL MAkl rrr I MiWC I'LL.

If the many Americans who are sharing in the present greater national income spend all their increased earnings, earn-ings, how do they lose? A. Such spending tends to push up the prices of products availab'e in limited quantity. Thus, alitor almost all, of the expanded income would be absorbed by hgher prices, leaving little or nothing to show for greater-earnings. By restricting our spending, and investing in Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps, increase in total spending will be prevented and we can buy the goods which are scarce without a rise in prices. Q. Can the Treasury call Defense Savings Bonds for redemption re-demption prior to maturity? A. No. But a defense savings bond may be redeemed by the owner at his option in accordance with Treasury regulations. Note. To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, Washing-ton, D. C. Also Stamps are now on sale at retail stores. PLEASANT GROVE ANNA MARIE WAJJ&KK Corresponden t Phone 2722 Mrs. Edna Newman entertained members of the Mothers club at her home Thursday afternoon. The program arranged by Mrs. Nora Macfarlane featured a review of Jan-Struthers book, "Mrs. Min-aver," Min-aver," given by Mrs. Sterling Er-canbrack Er-canbrack of Provo. The Uving rooms were gay with faU flowers. A red and green color scheme was carried out in the dainty luncheon served by the hostess. Special guests were Mrs. Ercanbrack, Mrs. Ethel Carlson, Mrs. Lavina Fugal, Mrs. Leone Told, and Mrs. Mabell Jense. Club members in attendance attend-ance were Mrs. Edith Anderson, "Forward!"

The editor, urging care in preventing fires, pointed out that just 40 years ago that day the cow kicked over the lantern which started the terrible Chicago fire. Ferre Decker and Joseph Mur-dock Mur-dock went to El Paso, Tex. to attend at-tend the International Farm Congress Con-gress as delegates from Utah county. AUNTHET By ROBERT QUIIXEN Boston Red Sox won their second sec-ond straight world series game with a 2-1 victory over Brooklyn in 14 innings. Dr. H. G.

Eldred was home after tour through southern Idaho. Alhponso Qhipman of American Amer-ican Fork wa& appointed as first postmaster of Tyog, Utah. This was a new office. "A. F. Acord went hunting Saturday and returned with so many ducks that he was ashamed to tell the number . . ." Two other hunters . apparently experienced less success, for another item said: "Messrs. J. C. Graham and Sam Leavitt went duck hunting yesterday on ' Utah lake but up to date we have hot seen the evidence evi-dence of their hunt. They state that they do not believe there are more than two ducks in the state." "When Jim Is away, Jane keeps ash trayn full o' his old cigar butts so a burglar will think' there's a man in the house,- but I'd rather have the burglar." Horse Keep Costs Exceed Tractor Yearly costs for keeping two horses amounted to slierhtly more than the cost for one tractor, according ac-cording to information gathered by agricultural economists. Two horses cost $275, compared with $227 for a tractor. On most farms, work is performed more economically with tractors than with horses. Since horses are used for more hours than tractors, however, the cost per hour for a two-horse team, harness, and driver driv-er was 68 cents, or 11 cents less than the cost of an hour's work of tractor and driver. Many of the costs of keeping horses are part of the general cost of mainlining the farm rather than costs incurred specifically for the horses. Feed, which is one-half the total cost of keeping a horse, was 18 cents per day, or $65 per year. Labor of feeding and caring for the horse cost $29 per year and depreciation amounted to almost $20 per horse or about three cents 'for each hour of use.

JEANIE CHAPTER IV TT was just as well that I had A come for the mall because the little white frame inn on the beach at the end of the grove was anything any-thing but a scene of rustic quiet. The room where one could get ice CTeam and pop was doing a rushing, business. Cottagers who ordinarily only came on a Saturday Satur-day night were there now and it wasn't even noon. Maudie would have had a field day. I shuddered shud-dered to think of the dynamite she might have planted. I collected the papers and some letters and started out when Dr. Drway got up from a table near the door and came toward me. We sat down and he asked me how I felt. "My knees still shake when I think of last night," I confessed, "and Jaeing only human, I'm won-jering won-jering about a lot of things. This is my first contact with a murder and I don't think I enjjoy it, but my feminine curiosity is bothering me." "We're all curious," he said with that old-fashioned country doctcr courtliness that went with his bushy iron gray hair and kind but piercing gray eyes. "Murder," he said briefly. "He was shot. The police have the bullet and it will be examined, but until they find- the weapon they won't have much to go on. A nasty business!" he added, shaking shak-ing his head. "Did he have any known enemies?" ene-mies?" I tried not to act too curious. "He's been coming here for about three years, but despite that no one seems to know a lot about him. He was congenial liked to fish; sailed a bit in the races when someone wanted an extra man; danced, which made him popular with the women; played a good game of cards, and was accepted because Jeanie cared for him. "Well, Jeanie must have known him better than anyone else around here that is, except Miss Dixon, who's collapsed. Made a lot of wild accusations. Hysterical, of course, but damaging." "You mean things that would involve Jeanie?" My hunch had been right, then. That brown-haired brown-haired child with blue eyes would be hurt. He nodded. "I've known, her since she was a little girl in pigtails," pig-tails," he said. "Miss Millie was always a strict woman. Well in- tentioned, but she never remem bered that girls grow up and want something besides weekly teas with a group of old people." He pulled out his old-fashioned silver watch and looked at it. "Going to the inquest, I suppose?" see T. SAID I hadn't been told to go, ' but I supposed both Maudie and I would be called since we had found the body. He left then, but I stayed a few moments, sipping my gingerale and listening to the broken threads of conversation around me. "You heard them arguing," a pretty girl, deeply tanned, said. "I was right there with you. Herb wanted to invite Jeanie to a picnic he and Margie were planning. Jeanie was in the other room buy ing some cigarets and Margie was telling Herb not to ask her to go. I remember she said to him, 'What are you trying to do, play one against the other?' Herb laughed and asked her if she was jealous and Margie certainly didn't think that was funny." The rest of the crowd at the table nodded in agreement. "Then Jeanie came back," she continued, "and Herb asked her if she could be ready by 10 o'clock. . . . Why, that would be this morning, wouldn't it? Jeanie looked a bit surprised, and before she could answer Margie told her off. " 'I hope you won't think I'm rude, dear,' she said in that drawling drawl-ing tone she uses when she wants to impress us, 'but I sort of want Herbert all to myself tomorrow.' Jeanie got white, and Herb became simply furious. I'd never seen him really mad before, but he was mad then and he and Margie said some nasty things to each other and Jeanie stood a moment just looking look-ing at them. Then she went away. She never said a word, but she didn't look like herself, and of course she knew everyone had heard what they had said." And everyone had heard what the tanned, leggy thing had said, too, I decided, looking around the room. "Miss Millie'll put the cjamps on her tighter than ever after this," one of the boys said. "Say, maybe the old woman's breaking down," another of the girls added. "Dick and I were coming home last night about 11 and lo and behold, who do we see but Miss Millie walking along the road toward home. In that long black skirt she looked like a witch." "If you saw all that on Pine road, then Dick must be losing his technique," someone else said, and the whole group burst into laughter. QVER behind the little counter that served as a bar I noticed that Chris Gordon, the hotel owner, wasn't smiling. I suppose he got rather tired of summer romances and these flip young things who either roared up and down the quiet roads or parked in the shadows. He probably wasn't any too pleased either about the murder of one of his guests. He advertised the inn as being quiet and restful and murder wouldn't do that ad any good. I picked up the letters and remembered re-membered we needed stamps. I went up to him and while he was picking them from the cigar box under the desk I asked him how Miss Dixon was feeling. "It must have been a decided shock to her," I said. "It was to me and I didn't even know the man." "You and your mother found him, didn't you?" he asked, and I noticed that despite his calmness he was having a time picking those sticky bits of paper apart as he counted them out. "Yes," I said, and then, "There'll be an inquest, I suppose? Motives, cause of death, suspects, clews " "Guess the police haven't much to go on." He gave me the stamps and fished around for change. "OH, things always turn up, I said. "Once they learn about the man I mean his background why, the police usually get a lead." I sounded very smug and knowing. know-ing. "I mean in other murders that's the way It works out. They always find clews insignificant things we wouldn't bother with." He didn't seem disposed to talk and he still hadn't answered my question about Margie Dixon. I suppose he had been pestered by dozens already today and I felt a little ashamed at my own display dis-play of curiosity. Maudie herself couldn't have been more nosey, I thought, going back to the cottage, cot-tage, but I didn't have long to consider my own reactions because when I arrived I found Maudie giving an interview to a young man. She was telling him alt about her discovery of Herbert Cord's body. (To Be Continued) D-TR ' is first to bring you Xi t - V m'm; sli - WHH ! , f ! i . - Decorotirely Lovely! Smart in Entembles !
