HARDING MEMORIAL STAMPS
ARE HERE

A small supply Of the Harding
Memorial stamps was received by
the Sank Centre postoffice yesterday,
direct from Washington. 1t is ex-
pected that a! larger supply will be
received in a~short time from Mime
apolis. Postmasters were requested
not to send their acquisitions for
these stamps too early as it would
cause congestion in the postoffice de-
partment, and because Postmaster
Schoenhoff complied with this request
the local postoffice did not receive
tfer supply as early as expected, but
he is in no way to blame because of
this.

HIGHWAYS GETTING BETTER

Tourists who have Travelled through
all states of the West and Middle
West are unanimous in the claim that

the country. In only California and
the eastern seaboard states, they
claim, can roads comparable to Min
nesota's be found. A friend in Cali
fornia has just sent the Herald a
clipping from a newspaper story of
the trip made by two young women

people endeavoring to get relief from
the heat.
Sunday evening Mr.. Daley also
pointed out number of interesting
sights to be seen in Washington,
among them beeing the home of ex-
president Wilson, several United
States Senators, foreign diplomats
and embassies.
Washington is entirely different
from any other city of the East.
Many of the fine homes and build
ings are constructed of white marble
There is no manufacturing in Wash
ington with the result that the city
is unusually clean and free from
smoke.
During Sundey evenings drive we
were taken around the Lincoln Me-
mortal and the Washington monu-
ment. Great search lights played on
the dome of the capitol, the monu-
ment and memorial, and they present
ed a most interesting view.
Monday morning Mr.. Daley took
the writer across the river into Vir-
ginia and Arlington cemetery. The
land used for the Arlington cemetery
was the former plantation of Robert
E.. Lee and the Lee mansion is still
standing and kept intact. Here are
buried thousands of Civil war veter-
ans, Spanish War veterans and veter-
ans of the World War. At the time
we visited Arlington there were two
or three military funerals being
held. Mr.. Daley informed us that
there is scarcely day goes by but
what one or more World War veter-
ans are laid to rest in the nation
cemetery.
One cannot visit Arlington without
being greatly impressed, and of
course the most inspiring feeling is
when one visits the grave of the I'm
known. Soldier. This grave is in a
straight line with the Lincoln Me-
mortal, Washington Monument, and
the Nations Capitol. On the other
side of the river across from the
cemetery, the. government has pur-
chased a considerable strip of land
and in the course of time this will be
built into beautiful mall and there
will be an unobstructed view from
the cemetery to the capitol. just
back of the grave of the unknown
soldier is large open amphitheatre,
beautiful in design, and accomodat-
ing many thousands, built for the ex-
press purpose of accommodating the
crowd who attend the annual servi-
ces there on Decoration Day.
A short distance away from the
grave of the unknown soldier and
the amphitheatre, and to the right as
you face the capitol, is the mast and
anchor of the old battleship Maine
which was sunk in Havana harbor
by the Spainards in 1898, and caused

By Homer Mckee

TWO THINGS put INDIANA on the lips of
the world-our SOLDIERS our SPEED
WAY Now they propose to take our Speed
way away from us and to take the MANHOOD
out of Memorial day.
If this idea of APATHETIC PATRIOTISM
gains Roadway, we will be compelled to use
soft needles when we put the Star-Spangled
Banner on our VictrOlas, and deaf and dumb
bands will be playing America ON THEIR
FINGERS. When that time comes-take me
over to Russia and SHOOT me.
A bill to abolish the GREAT INDIANA
SPEEDWAY is about to become a laW-it has
ALREADY PASSED THE SENATE,
The thinking people of the state can not
conceive how such measure could possibly
pass our present laW-making body.
The net of it is simply this: A few pro-
fessional REFORMERS (the class of people,
you know, who have FAILED at everything
but RUNNING OTHER PEOPLES BUSI-
NESS have run out of RED FIRE, and
have seized on the 500-Mie Race as a means
for GETTING BACK IN THE LIMELIGHT.
Reformers DIE, if they can't stir up some
thing to KICK about. Patriotism means moth
ing to them. When it comes to digging up
our dead and using them for TOM TOMS,
professional reformers have no scruples.
They will even WAVE INDIANAS OLD
SHREDDED BATTLE FLAGS to ATTRACT
ATTENTION to themselves. THEY are the
REAL DESECRATERS.
The 500-Mile Race is a MANLY EXHIBI-
TION of simon pure AMERICANISM. The
entire world hangs on the wire to hear how
it comes out. Every state in the Union
WATCHES it.
The most impressive memorial ceremony
in America is held AT THE SPEEDWAY be-
fore the race. Law and order are preserved
before, during and after the race, by SOL
DIERS IN THE AMERICAN UNIFORM
After the Memorial day ceremony, live
Americans for approximately six hours,
LAUGH AT DANGER, and SHOW THE
SAME STUFF that Americans showed at
Valley Forge, Gettysburg and the Argonne.

THE BEST WAY TO DO HOMAGE TO
AMERICAS DEAD IS TO KEEP THEIR
SPIRIT ALIVE.
I challenge any man opposed to the 500
Mile Race to equal Carl Fisher Jim Allison and
Arthur Newly in PURE PATRIOTISM, or to
sit in a race car with HoWdy Wilcox, just
FIVE MINUTES.
God help us if we ever have to depend on
a degenerate type of manhood that thinks
COURAGE is uncomplimentary to our soldier
dead or that SPEED is UNAMERICAN.
The INDIANA MOTOR SPEEDWAY is
one of Americas BEST RESERVOIRS OF
FEARLESS MANHOOD. Out there, Captain
Eddie Rickenbacker tempered the steel in his
heart that made him the "Ace of Aces" 1t
served America during the World War as an
invaluable aviation post. It has written ITS
SHARE Of American history.
The 500-Mile Race is a WORLDS CLASSIC.
1t draws people from everywhere. 1t is TOO
BIG for any day but holiday The official
country, reserves Memorial day EACH YEAR
for INDIANA. The race CAN NOT BE Sue
CESSFULLY HELD ON ANY OTHER DAY.
The passing of the proposed bill means THE
END OF THE 500-MILE RACE-the passing
of the SPEEDWAY from Indiana.
The men in our Legislature have HEARD
ONLY ONE SIDE OF THIS THING. They
are sincere and will DO THEIR DUTY as
they SEE 1T.
If you want your CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS taken away from you-go on keep
ing STILL But if you value the liberty our
soldiers FOUGHT FOR-SPEAK UP!
Let your representative know in UNNIIS-
TAXABLE terms that THINKING MEN
HAVE NOT YET LOST CONTROL OF
INDIANA
There is no time to waste. Write, wire, or
phone-AT ONCE
No! Carl Fisher Jim Allison, Arthur
Newly or anyone interested in the Speed
way DID NOT pay for this advertisement
they know nothing whatever about it.

CHAPTER XVIII.


~ UT it was for no more than a
few hours that Dick March
urst held to the belief that
here at Luxor with Louise Lam
marsh he was to be undisturbedly
happy.
At first, in the keen, even poign-
ant, faming-up into which this
unexpected meeting had famed his
spirit, he had felt like a tired man
suddenly revitalized by an un-
looked-for stimulant.
But, later, lying wakeful in the
bedroom which the smiling, silent
Olympic had prepared perfectly for
him, he knew that the flame with
in him was wavering, Pickering
low, dying down.
Staring into the darkness, wide
eyed, his strung nerves like taut
wires, he faced the facts.
En- route to this place, across
the arid wastes of the Kordofan
desert, he had given free rein to
the fancies of a man made reck-
less by nostalgia. He had travelled
to Luxor in something of the
frame of mind into which long
absence from his normal life may
drive a soldier returning from
war, with every fine emotion as
we'll as every fierce appetite quest
ing like eager hounds far ahead of
him. Nevertheless, his dreams had
been shadowy and unreal, neither
stable, clear-cut nor consistent.
He spoke the truth aloud in the
darkness, as it came to him.
II never really believed l should
ever see her again. =. And now
she is here. Alone and willing to
be my friend, to give me her COM
pany. And there was a strange

beauty, in the first place,
she had been held by a GER
tain winning simplicity of N
neart she sensed in him
that was something more
than boyishness.
And, young though she was, her
married life had not been of the
kind which left her unsophisticated
or ignorant of the world of men.
Rather it had been the other way
about. Her husband had never
been the type of man to screen
away from the gaze of the envious
or curious a beautiful wife. AS,
at home in New York, he had
loved to show his really fine
horses, his motors, his house, so
he had never hesitated to parade
his wife-at any rate, while she
had been novelty.
She attached no serious import
ance to the nebulous hotel gossip
about the dancing girl. Probably
it was mainly fiction with a
minute grain of truth in it. No
more than that.
She smiled across at him, con-
scious that few women of her &C
quaintance would be slow to accept
the homage of this handsome heir
to the Lissmere peerage.
"Well, we have agreed on
that" she smiled. "To be COM
panions for our little time here"
"That's compact" he said. "a
one-sided one, though, for l gain
everything.

half closed.
She turned with little start as
voice spoke beside her--that of
Hoodless who had returned.
II could not resist going to get
the trophy" he said, eagerly, and
put the big bundle on chair.
He bent over her hand, acknowl-
edging her welcome.
"All the more so because l am

the story-he is modest, you see,

The most striking quality of the
story is the wonderful frankness
with which he writes of himself.
He never for a moment poses.
