Fred Schortemeier. secretary of state, is now enforcing the rule of revoking licenses of automobile drivers who are convicted of operating their car while intoxicated, a good thing for them and every one else. Every fifth person in Indiana owns a motor car according to the report of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and ranks eighth in the United States. No wonder its hard to find a parking place and that several accidents are reported each weekend. Ths surprising thing is that they are as few as they are. Jesse Dunwoody says the bootleg whiskey now sold in Indiana should be labelled "coroner’s cocktails" for ••very drink contains sufficient poison to eud all your troubles. Since Jess is the state chemist and has tested large quantities of the liquor he probably knows what he’s talking I about. Its hardly worth the “kick” boys. Boost the Decatur Country club. It will prove the greatest attraction the city has and as years go by will 'lave much to do in making this a better, happier city. Golf and tennis and out-doors sports are the greatest tonics for old and young. If you haven’t signed an application, hurry along and do it. That was a bad wreck but the results were by no means as bad as they would have been had the car in which the passengers were riding had been of the old wood type instead of steel. In the old days the list of dead and seriously wounded would have been terrible and so after all we have science to thank for this improvement. Governor Pinchot has a lot of nerve to cry over what some one else spent in a campaign after admitting that his expenditures and those of contributors to his fund, totalled $165,000. He charges that more than 7,000 were falsely registered by his opponents and they will probably show that he did something with all that money he admits spending for the senatorial nomination. R. Earl Peters, new democratic state chairman is organizing and will be ready for a red hot campaign when the time comes. He will open a speakers bureau soon and expects to bring In a number of prominent democrats, including Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, and E. T. Meredith, former secretary of agriculture. Thats the pep thats needed Earl and if continued until November' will bring results. A hundred and sixty boys and girls graduated from the grade schools of Adams coqnty today, exercises being held at the Berne auditorium with Clifton Striker, county superintendent in charge and an address by C. A. Mummary, president of the Huntington college. The youngsters, now ready for high school, are to be congratulated and we hope they will go right on through until they are fitted for the duties they desire to devote their lives to accomplish. Diplomas were presented to twelve graduates from the Decatur Catholic

| high Tuesday evening and npproI prlate services marked the event. A splendid lecture by Rev. C. W. Marr, of the St. Rose church, at Monroe-' vAle, gave to these young men and ’ women much advice that should be I remembered. Commencement with all its thrills is but the entrance into affairs more serious and the lessons learned up to now should be remem- > bered and followed during the years 1 to come when yon young folks will I assume the burdens of business and life. We congratulate the graduates and wish them continued success throughout long and busy lives. Only those who have had recent experience in carrying on rural church work can really understand the elation of the little band of worshippers at the Calvary Evangelical church over ' their accomplishments. The church is located a few miles east of this city and Rev. Loose is the pastor. The little frame church was valued at SI,BOO when the fe wstaunch members decided to modernise its appearance. The church was moved forward toward the road and improved to a valuation of $5,500. This amount was largely borne by a dozen families, best evidence of their faith and their substantiality. Much of the work was done by the men while the women aided by carrying a goodly share of the financial responsibility. Such showings as these are the surest and best signs of the present and future. So long as men and women ate willing to sacrifice, that the Word of Cod may be spread, just so long will we have the balance which will eventually save this nation from destruction. Bishop Maze, of Harrisburg, Pa., delivered two powerful sermons during the day and sufficient money and more was raised and pledged to meet the SI,OOO deficit. And its worth it all folks to save the fine boys and girls of your communI itygHSSHKSSMSSSMSSKg ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ■ M » ■ From the Dally Democrat Ella ■ M Twenty Yeart Ago Thia Day E ■ ■ BS9SKHBRBSSIIMH3HSB June 10, 1906 was Sunday. o • Big Features Os * • RADIO • FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES (Copyright, 1926, by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout.

The cattle country still txists and always will. Indeed, larger ranches than ever are being firmed today as the big syndicates buy up the smaller outfits and throw them together. Some of the new combinations cover as much as 509,000 acres.” ) “Rodeo” is a Spanish word meaning rounding up of cattle on the open range. In the Spring and Fall of each year, the various ranches of the region round up and separate their stock. Naturally a rivalry developed early among teh outfits in the matter of sports, most of which were the cowboys’ own devising. This was the beginning of the cowboy contests. o Lost Sandal Blamed For Death Os Child Indianapolis, Ind., June 10 —(United Press) —A lost sandal was held responsible today for the death of James Grabhorn, 7, the third child killed in accidents in Indianapolis within three days. While on the way to church to practice for a children’s day play, the little boy dropped a sandal from his foot while crossing a street car track. He stepped back to get the sandal and was struck and killed by a street J car. |

The Armor “Ether” TheonTof" Conduction Attacked Chicago, June 10. —(United Press.) —The “ether” theory generally accepted by scientists to explain conduction of light, heat, radio and other electrical waves was attacked as untenable in an address before the machinery club here today by A. J. Musselman, Chicago inventor and scientist. “The hypothetical ‘ether’ is a quite unnecessary and mistaken notion of the medium which conveys heat, light, magnetic and radio waves,” Musselman said. In place of the “ether” theory he advanced the explanation that opaqueness. meaning some degree of shadow 'or darkness, is the medium by which | physical action is transmitted. i

Judith | of Blue Lake I Ranch j —l rgr ■ « By Jackson Gregory Cspyrlfbl ky Cfcarlw •arikMr’t fcu "Sunday passed and Sunday night; Monday and Monday night. Judith knew that she had accomplished nothing, except perhaps to make Ruth believe that she was very much of a • coward. In Ruth's mad brain that ' was little enough, since this did not 1 allay, her cunning watchfulness. Then ' Judith began to do something else, ’( something actively. Just Io be occupied, was something. Her fingers selected the largest, thickest branch ? from her bed of fir-boughs. It was perl i haps a couple of inches in diameter I! and heavy, because it was green. SII Jently, cautious of a twig snapped, she ■ began with her fingers to strip the branch, tough and pliable. Then the limb must be cut into a length which would make It a club to be used in a cramped space. She found a bit Mid Ruth, Lighting the Lantern, Had Dropped a Good Match. i 1 of stone, hard granite, which had scaled from the walls and which had 1 a rough edge. With this, working many a quiet hour, she at last cut in two the fir-bough. She lifted It in her ! hands, to feel the weight of It, before she thrust it under her bed to lie hid--5 den there against possible need. Poor I thing as It was, she felt no longer » utterly defenseless. I Once Mad Ruth, lighting the lantern, had dropped a good match. ‘ When she had gone, Judith se<-ured it hastily, hiding it as if it were gold. She knew that now and then Mad 1 Ruth went down the cliffs and to the , cabin across the chasm. Always at night and at the darkest hour. When she heard her go, Judith rose swiftly : and- went to the heavy door, jftways s she found it locked; her shaking at 1 it hardly budged the heavy timbers. But though she could not see it, she studied it with her fingers until she i had a picture of it in her mind. A I picture that only increased her hopelessness. Barehanded she could never 1 hope to break it down or push it aside. And above it and below, and on each ' side, were the solid walls of stone. She no longer knew what day it was. She scarcely knew if it were day or ■ night. But, setting herself something —- WMWMMWWWMWMMM

r to as ADTTTD tror mad as Mad Ruth, she secured for i herself another weapon. Another bit | of stone which her groping fingers hau found and hidden with her club; a I jagged, ugly rock half the size of a I man's head. Some little scraps of i bread and meat, hoarded from her. scanty meals, she hid In her blouse. I “If I could stun her, just stun her. I she got into the way of whispering ]to herself. “Not kill her outrightjust stun her ” At last, seeing that she must work, her <>wn salvation with the crude ! weapons given her, Judith told her-. | self that she could wait no longer.'. Another day and another and »h* would be weak from the confinement, and poor food and nervous, wakeful hours. She must act while Ihe, strength was In her. And, If lrev« ors had spoken the truth, If there were u man to deal with outshlfr well, she must shut her mind to thiit, until she came to It. J Mad Ruth was gone again, and Judith stood by the thick door, her heart beating furiously while she waited. It seemed to her eager Impatience that Ruth would never come back. Then after a long, long time she heard a little scraping sound upon the rock ledge outside, the sound of a quick step. And then, before she heard the snarling, ugly voice which she hud heard once and. had never forgotten, she knew that this time she had waited too that It was not Ruth coming. One man—and there might be others. She stepped buck to her bed, hid the two weapons and waited. She must make no mistakes now. The door was flung open. Outside It was dark, pitch-dark. But evidently the man entering had no fear of being seen. He threw down a bundle of dry fagots, and set fire to them. The blaze, leaping up. casting wavering gleams to where Judith stood,, showed her plainly the twisted, ugly face of Qulnnion, Ills red-rimmed eyes peering at hes, filled with evil light/ ‘Rhe better to see you by, my dear!” was Qulnnlon's word of greeting. Judith made no answer. She drew a little farther back into the shadows, a little closer to the things she had hidden among the fir- ( branches. “Ho,” sneered Qulnnion, his mood from the first plain enough to read In the glimpses of his face and In the added harshness of his voice. “Timid little fawn, huh? By G —d, a man would say from the bluff you put up that it was all a dream about findln’ you an’ the han’some Lee in the cabin together! Stan’ off all you d —u please; I’ve come to tame you, you little beauty of the big Innocent eyes!”, Not drunk; no, Qulnnion was never drunk. But, as he came a step closer, the heavy air of the cave grew heavier with the whisky he carried, whisky enough to stimulate the evil wlfhin him, not to quench It. “Stand back!” cried Judith, with a sharp intake of breath. ”1 want to talk with you. Chris Qulnnion.” “So you know who I am, do you? Well, much good It’ll do you.” “I know who you are and what you are,” she told him defiantly, suddenly sick of her long hours of playing baby, knowing at the moment less fear than hatred and loathing. “Listen to me: Bayne Trevors has come out In the open at last; he has made his big play and is going to lose out on it. Your one chance now is to let me go and to go yourself. Go fast and far, Chris Qulnnion. For when the law knows the sort Bayne Trevors is and how you have worked hand and glove with him, it will know just how much his word was worth when he swore you were with him when father was killed! Coward and cur and murdered 1” (TO BE CONTINUED) I o Berne Council Appoints New Night Policeman BERNE.
