MARTINSVILLE WINS INDIANA CHAMPIONSHIP Defeats Greencastle In Final Game of Tourney Saturday Nijrht 1.-.dianapolis. Mar. 20 (U.R) Martinsville high school won its third state basketball championship when the well-balanced team of Coach Glen Curtis defeated Greencastle Saturday night. 27 io 24. Previous titles were won by .he Arlesians in 1924 and 1927. Curtis is the only man credited with coaching four state champions. He directed I-ebanon to the title in 1918. He has been in Martinsvi'le 14 years. The Gimbel trophy, awarded annually tt> the player showing the best mental attitude in the final tournament, was given to Jim Seward. Shortridge center. Seward was one of the reasons why Shortridge advanced to the semi-finals. He scored 43 points in three games, setting a new individual record. Jess Me Anally. Greencastle cetrter. scored ■*! points in four games. Martinsville’s victory was a surprise to almost everyone except members of the team and the ertach. The Artesians came from behind in every one of their four games. They showed marked improvement as the tournament progressed and were at their best fti the Greencastle till. Other victims of Martinsville were Valparaiso. 23 so 20; Bedford. 22 to 18; and Fort Wayne, 23 to 14. Greencastle obviously was more tired than Martinsville in the final game. The Tiger Cubs had been forced to play two overtime games during the day, the first against Logansport and the second against Shortridge. But one of the chief reasons *hv Martinsville won was its

Thousands of weeds can be killed in early spring with less work than will be needed to kill a few lots in the summer. Careful preparation of the seed bed by thorough disking and harrowing will reduce th- ■ number of cultivations after the crop is planted. Fields that are badly infested ' with winter cress, yellow peril I and yellow pocket should receive ‘ a thorough cultivation this spring. , Such plants are winter annuals | and start their growth in the fall, ; The tough roots of these plants i can only be killed by plowing or disking. Harrowing does not kill j them. Guard against mysteries* livestock losses that are caused by . poisonous plants Among the' common poisonous plants that I take their toll of animals in th-? I spring are cocklebur. water hem- j lock. Dutchman s breeches, larkspur and wild cherry. Animals should not be turned out on pas- ■ ture until there is a good hit of | grass to eat. When cultivating and preparing , the seed bed. care should be lak-n j so as not to drag roots of Canada j Thistle and quack grass and scat < ter these weeds over the field.

CH APT! It FIFTY-ONE Navestcck was black tinder to the first red spark of pestilence. The sinuous, glowing fever-pattern spread itself out in wavering and sinister lines. Everywhere Wolfe had been baffled by the incredible apathy of those whom he had tried to forewarn and help. They would not close up polluted wells, or take emergency measures to limit the disease. The tradesmen on the Board of Guardians sniggered over his proposal that they should arrange for a temporary supply of water to be brought into the town. Then came the deluge. On August 4th there were nine new cases; on August sth, thirteen; on August 6th, seven; on August 7th, thirty-three. Some of the early cases were running towards their critical periods. Deaths began to mount up. August 10th gave three, August 16th, eight. Fresh centres of infection cropped up like fungi ip every hole and corner. On August 18th there were thirteen deaths. The disease had been wallowing in the river alleys, but •sx®t the middle of the month it came out of the slough and climbed the higher ground. Sporadic cases cropped up even at High Elms and Mulberry Green. The middle-class houses began to be attacked The moral intelligent selfishness of the town was touched. Then the panic came. Wnlfp hurrying out of the little white house at Eve’s Corner at seven o'clock in the morning, nearly ran into a big man who was coming up the path. It was Robert Flemming, heavy-eyed and anxious, a man who bad been sleeping badly. “1 have just caught you." “I’m sorry, sir, but ” “Oh. I’ll not waste your time. I’ll walk the way you’re going.” They went out by the green gate, Wolfe’s figure, the figure of an ath- i lete, strung for the uttermost en- ■ durance. Robert Flemming ponder- 1 mis and sad. , “What are we to do’” “Are your men willing to do any- ' thing ? ” “Some of them ’’ “It is too late, as far as the pres , ent attack is concerned. We can < only make rescues here and there.” “The town’s getting in a panic, i Something must be done.” “Everything or nothing." “I went to see Thrcadgold last night. He’s knocking up; he can’t be relied on. Will you join us as our adviser?” Wolfe did not slacken his stride. ; He just looked round into Robert Flemming's eyes. “No. not unless these gentlemen of yours bind themselves to carry out reforms, to oTange for the laying down of a prupei senage system. fnr waterworks, and for the compulsory closing over of most of the surface wells.” Robert Flemming gave a pathetic shrug of the shoulders. “Can’t you be conciliatory, even at a crisis? 1 know these men are obstinate and prejudiced.” “I can’t compromise." “Not for the moment?" “No. I know what would happen. When we had fought this thing through and the scare had subsided, your good friends would whittle away their good intentions. A little judicious patching would be done. The devil was sick’ — that is my view.” Flemming caught Wolfe by the arm. “Man, you’ve no heart" “I am being hard to you for the •ake of the future. And 111 ask you who is the hardest man in i Navestock! Josiah Crabbe?" “Perhaps.” “And we have not had one case yet on Peachy Hill. We have had all our water and our milk brought in daily from the country. Josiah i Crabbe has kept bis hands and his j property clean. Hia people are not

suffering. That in what 1 sail religion.” .Flemming reddened. “Then you won’t help us?” “Weil, I have been working from five in the morning till twelve at night. And I am not alone.” “No?” “Mrs. Brandon is showing the real woman. We aie going to do what we can to save the youngsters. Josiah Crabbe has put down a hundred pounds.” He paused in his stride. “Why don’t you join us, Mr. Flemming? It is the same thing, and yet it is different. I can’t compromise with those gentry of yours, but why shouldn’t you and 1 work together?” Flemming was silent a moment The fine humility of the man came to the surface. “Why not? Tell me what 1 can do. I have been thinking of holding special services." “Preach to them on cleanliness. Give them orders; tell them what to do and what not to do. And if you could, get the cowards out of the town.” “Whom do you mean?” “The people who can pack tip their boxes and run away to the seaside. The old women.” “But that’s mean.” “Selfishness is cowardice, ard it’s only common sense to get cowards out of the fignting line. I’m riding over this morning to ‘Pardons.’ Mrs. Brandon is getting marquees and tents together, and we are going to improvise a hospital in one of the Wraith meadows. The youngsters will have a better chance there, and we are getting volunteers as nurses. We can do something for the children. The grownups are too obstinate. In nine cases out of ten they’d refuse to be moved.” Robert Flemming straightened out his shoulders. “Look here, Wolfe, I’m with you. There’s the cricket club tent.” “We’ve got it.” “And Turrell has a marquee.” “I might leave that to you.” They smiled grimly at each other. “All right. We ought to have a committee." “For heaven’s sake, don't start the committee idea. All talk and nothing done. We want a tyranny of two in a crisis.” “I believe you are right. I’ll go off and see Turrell about that tent.” • • • “Didn’t you meet her. John? She has not been gone more than half an hour.” “Along the Naveetock road?” j “Yes, to see -Mrs. Brandon at

Taxd-tu.*” “And you let her go!’’ “Yes, I let her go, John.” Wolfe had drawn Turpin close to 1 the garden gate, and Mary Mascall had come down the path to speak to him. “You can’t go against such a spirit, John; it wouldn’t be human.” ■ ' It’s inhuman.” "I should never have thought you would have teken it like this.” “It is because I care so much. I have seen thirty deaths in a fortnight, and Thrcadgold had seen , more. Do you think I would sacrifice Jess for such a place as Nave- , stock!" , Wolfe rode back towards Navestock, and turned aside by the . clump of larches where the road ■ branched eff to “Pardons.” Men were setting up a marquee in one of the meadows, and a loaded van was bumping towards it over the baked turf. Ursula Brandon had thrown aside her lethargy. She had come down from the high places of her scorn, and little people were running to and fro, urged on by a capable and debonair imperiousness that never condescended to explain. , Half a mile from “Pardon s” ■ where the road ran between pollard willows, Wolfe caught sight of a slim figure moving towards the dis1 tnnt oodars A quick, bright light i ■ carce into his eyes. His knees press- : led hard against Turpin’s flanks. ’ I This slim figure, moving in a faint, t haze of sunlit dust, drew him irre- ■ sirtibly. : Jess glanced up at him with some wistfulacss. Her eyes half pleaded ■ with and half defied him. • | "Are you coming to ‘Pardons’?” ■ ' Wolfe felt ashamed. He dis- ■ i mounted and walked at her side, 1, looking at her very dearly. • “Jess, 1 surrender.” “John, you mean it?” I She flushed, and her eyes kindled. “Os course I mean it.” "You don’t know how I want to help.” ‘ I can guess at that.” “John, you are a dear.” One of his big hands gripped her , arm above the elbow. 1 “No, I was a coward. You know, little woman. Navestock’s j u s t a > dirty little town in a valley, and you—well, you are you.” She smiled up at him, the smile of a girl who is loved, “I love your selfishness, dear. ’ But you are not selfish, really. It would have been my fault." “I think we are getting rather subtle,” he said. (To Be Contiaued) Copyright 1932 by ty>er< M Mcßride > Ca. by Kiue Fantarea Syndtc*t«, Xm,
