These bright autumn days ought to put the pep in every one. Remember in good times and bad, it largely depends on the individual, whether he succeeds or not. The textile strike is over and no one is any happier than the average workman who had bed dreams about winter coming on and his only chance a bread line. When they find fault with the New Deal, ask them what the plan to replace it with. It you think that's better, vote with them but don’t get out too deep without knowing where you are going. We haven't figured out just what happened on the Morro Castle ship, in which many lives were lost, but we are thoroughly convinced that some one fell down on his job. The football season in the Big Ten opens next Saturday and for the next two months will hold the headline position among sports. With new rules this year, there I may be a lot of surprises. A representative of one of the Indianapolis papers visited here today and declares the campaign is the quietest he has covered in many years. Evidently the people are satisfied and don't intend to get excited. He predicted Demo, cratic success. The Bluffton street fair, recog. nized as the outstanding event of its kind in the entire country is on this week and needless to say is attracting huge crowds from far and near. Its always worth going to if you enjoy thrills and crowds and exhibits. Tax paying time is at hand again and the way to lick this unpleasant job is to look after it as soon as you can and forget it. There is nothing gained by waiting for the last day and then getting in a crowd of people. It's that much harder on your temper. Mrs. Pierpont says Dillinger told her that Van Meter and not her son, killed Sheriff Sarber. Os course that's a safe statement since both of the desperadoes are dead and can t be questioned or punished.

corn-hog program, which is certainly some help. It doesn't make any difference what plan is used to get out of the depression, a lot , of folks art going to argue and find fault, but really, do you think the distribution ot this money and the ■ promise ot mUFe soon, can help Improve general conditions? The Dionne quintuplets will be four months old Friday and having recovered from their recent Illness, have a good chance to grow up to be famous. They will land in the movies or in some other work in which the world will have a chance to know them and it ought to be easy for them to do well on Easy street. Henry Ford la anything but a humorist but every once in a while he tries to be funny as was recently the case when he got off a few remarks about “Santa Claus” and how he was preventing the prosperity that would otherwise be here. Believe it or not, Henry has sold a lot more cars this year than he would have if the government had not startd the wheels going by employing millions of men. The pessimists are now worrying because there is a tendency for a rise in the stock markets, about which there is nothing very mysterious. Stocks are far below real values in many instances and whenever confidence is restored, there will be a gradual rise. Perhaps they are awakening to the fact conditions are really better than a year ago and the outlook is that this improvement will continue. Why shouldn't prices of stocks rise? Decatur is attracting much attention these days because it is outstanding in its population class. The housing experiment and the new soy bean plant, along with the fact that every thing is moving along nicely here and that the tax rates in Adams county are com. parativeiy low, cause us to get some excellent publicity. Nearly I every day, a representative from some city paper, calls here to get the “dope” and write about this fair little city. And it all helps. o M CHARLEY frf CUAgtXV ofiANT J There's a heap o' parkin' places on th' road t' ruin. Folks who're really straight are a lot harder t’ bend.

selling operations. In a quiet, well-modulated voice Rockefeller told the committee he had suffered "tremendous losses" in the declining markets that followed 1929. He had been forced to dispose of some of his holdings at various times to meet pressing obligations, he said. His losses figured in the millions, and in selling short to recoup he had regained only $550,009 —“a mere drop in tho bucket.” Then he returned to the comparative obscurity of his office. Percy Avery Rockefeller was born in New York City on Feb. 27. 1878. Upon leaving college he , entered his father's office. Al- ■ most with each year came several ■ directorships in corporations in which .he elder Rockefeller was interested. A power to be reckoned with in half a hundred companies. Rockefeller's hand was seen most fre- , quently in operation of the NationI al City Bank. William Rockefeller saw three i banks in which his working capl--1 tal was stored go under in the 1 panic of 1873. He thereupon re-| | solved to take a hand in the i management of some bank to safe- I guard his own resources. He

chose National City, the bank built up by his close friend, the elder James Stillman. The tie between the Rockefeller and Stillman families became closer when the elder Rockefeller's sons. Percy and the late William, Jr., married the banker’s two daughters. Percy gradually took over the holdings of his father, and became in turn a director and dominant influence in the bank's management. Wall street generally conceded that Rockefeller was behind the elevation of Charles E. Mitchell to the chairmanship of the National City's board of directors. Slight opposition to the move in 1930, Wall street said, fell when Rockefeller's support went to Mitchell. Rockefeller maintained homes in Greenwich, Conn., and in New York City. o_ Ancient Well Found Amesbury, Mass.— (U.R) —An ancient well was discovered on the historic Parade Ground Park, where George Washington once reviewed a militia drill.

COUNTY FACES SEED SHORTAGE Drought Damage Causes Shortage Os Seed Corn For Fanners Thousands of Indiana farmers are facing n serious shortage of seed corn for next year's planting as a result of the damage from drought and the failure of corn to pollinate normally due to the extreme heat. This unfortunate situation may be partially if not wholly averted by prompt action on the part of corn growers within the next few weeks if they will observe the following suggestions given by the Agronomy Department of Purdue University. First, each farmer who has corn that has eared at all should go over his field carefully and find out if any of these ears are well| enough filled for seed. Such corn l will usually be found in the low places that were better supplied with moisture. An ear need not be fully filled out at the butt or tip so long as there are well filled kernels on any part of the ear as a result of complete pollination. Partially filled ears carry the same potential capacity to produce as if the ears were normally developed, although large round kernels will be difficult to plant

CHAPTER XLII Early the following morning Malcolm appeared at the back dour of the Rutledge house. Caroline let him in. She had roused Mrs. Stevenson from her sleep and had her, despite • the housekeeper’s grumblings, in the kitchen, waiting. A half hour later they were all in a state of jubilant excitement. Mrs. Stevenson’s complexion was a perfectly satisfying testimonial to the efficacy of the mask. She stared in amazement at her reflection, at the soft velvety glow of her skin. “I never expected to look I’ke that," she breathed with a touch of awe. “It’s a pity you can’t go right out and fill the world with envy,’ Caroline laughed, "but Malcolm and I are hungry.” “You certainly owe us a good breakfast," he added heartily. “Don’t you think I ought to take her along with me to Purcell’s, Caroline f’’ "They have their own guinea nigs," Caroline answered, and then had to explain to Mrs. Stevenson that she only meant a subject on whom to test the mask. Caroline went to work that morning with the happy conviction that she and Malcolm had succeeded. Whatever came of it—whether she recovered the Rutledge factory or not—she would at least have money enough to provide proper care for her father. And she might be able to buy the cottage at Lake Cloud. Every vestige of her unhappy love affair vanished in her roey anticipations of the future. She wouldn’t let herself think of the past, or that Malcolm might fail to sell the mask. He had promised to let her know what happened as soon as possible. It might be during the day, she thought, and worked in a fever of suppressed excitement. Malcolm, too, was in a seventh heaven of great expectations. Mr. Purcell was too busy to see him before ten o'clock, but then Malcolm auickly got him to the point of inucing his secretary to submit to a test of the new preparation. After that nothing remained but to complete the details of the sale. Mr. Purcell’s assistant wanted time for further testa, but Mr. Purcell himself was convinced that any perfecting of the mask that it should need could be done by his chemists. He realised, as Malcolm had pointed out to him, that it was only the idea that was important, and the first proof of its practicability. And he wanted to get control of it at once, as the time that Henry Dunsworth had given him in which to buy the Rutledge factory was rapidly drawing to a elose. Malcolm was disappointed in the terms he offered ana for a while it looked as though his hopes, and Caroline’s, must go a-glimmering. Mr. Purcell saw that he was deeply affected. “Don’t be a fool, Stuart,” he said impatiently. “You can’t expect a fortune for a thing like this. It’s a lucky break for you that we’re in the market for it. I know it’s good —no denying that, but at a time like this you won't find one manufacturer in a hundred prepared to launch an unknown product. One of them might buy it, yes, but only for the morgue. No one would gamble on paying you real money and if you held it yourself some one else might hit on the same thing and beat you to it.” Malcolm was thinking fast. What Purcell said was probably true enough, but it was going to be a tough proposition to put up to Caroline. Suddenly he decided to tell Mr. Purcell about her interest in the mask. "Do yon know Miss Rutledge— Philip Rutledge's daughter?” he asked. “Not personally. A very beautiful girl. Why do you ask f ” “Because this mask is really hers, and she hopes for enough out of it to buy the Rutledge factory.” “But that’s impossible.” “It’s too bad,” Malcolm said, and went On to tell him the story of Caroline’s fight against adversity. , Mr. Purcell was greatly impressed. “Working right there in the factory!” he exclaimed. “That’s the old Rutledge spirit, all right.

with an edge drop planter. Second. If there Is Insufficient seed in the new crop enough corn from the 1933 crop, where availI able, should be reserved for next year’s planting. Such seed if it gave good stands this year and has been well stored since, should be I satisfactory for use next year. Third, farmers, who have a good supply of old com ° r “ Prospective supply Os seed from the new crop, particularly early strains, are urged to save more seed than will be needed in order to provide seed for less fortunate neighbors or farmers in adjacent regions. Early corn will be in greatest demand due to the greater severity of the drought in northern Indiana. “Ry following such a program our Indiana farmers will have a dependable supply of adapted seed and will not need to import corn from other states, usually loss well adapted, as was done following the bad corn years of 1917 and 1930. The use of adapted seed is very important if we are to produce a well matured crop of good quality in 1935," warned I M. O Pence of the extension staff I of the university. ‘iSJeed corn selection in the new crop should be started as mxin as the corn is all dented and after half or more of the husks are ripened. The best seed comes from ripened ears on green stalks. Field selected seed should be stored as soon as gathered on individual ear racks in a dry, airy building.” Extension Bulletin No. 169, “Selecting and Storing Seed

Wish I could help her—Dunsworth put over some slick deals in getting control of that plant. Wait a minute I Do you know that he's about licked?” “No, but I was told the factory’s for sale and the reports on it aren’t very good.” “You’re right — they’re not We’ve been doing a little investigating of his situation—it’s bad, very t»d. If he doesn't get new backing he’ll go under to the last penny. In my opinion he’ll sell at any price. Tell you what I'll do. I’ll buy that plant. Turn it over to you and Miss Rutledge and allow you as a down payment what I’ve just offered for this mask. You’ll nave to take the Rutledge Mask off the market and limit your production to other products. Think you can make a go of it?” “It would be hard sledding.” “Sure, but until you pay us up well have to give you some assistance. There s business for both of us, or will be soon. I’m no hoggish cut-throat. Guess you know that. What do you say?” “It’s okey with me, if it’s your best offer. Os course I’ll have to consult Miss Rutledge. And there’s one other thing—we'll have to be free to develop and promote new stuff." “No masks. Anything else.” "Agreed. Mind if I take time off to see Miss Rutledge?” “Go ahead. Wait, didn’t you say she’s still at the factory? Then you might drop in on Henry, as our representative, and tell him all deals with us are off. Make him an offer yourself. Here —” he wrote rapidly on a piece of paper—“here’s the figure. Offer him this. Well pay cash. Tell him to take it or leave it Explain that we’re buying another mask. That won’t be unpleasant for you. will it?” he added with a twinkle in his deep-set eyes. “It will break my heart,” Malcolm grinned. At the Rutledge factory Henry Dunsworth had him shown into his office without delay. Howard was present, and Malcolm guessed that father and son had been having some pretty hot words-—the air, as he put it to himself, was saturated with sulphur. Howard glared at him in recognition but did not speak. To Henry Dunsworth he was merely someone sent by Purcell to talk business. Malcolm strove to keep his voice impersonal, but there was huge satisfaction underlying it as he told Mr. Dunsworth that Purcell was no longer interested in the purchase of the Rutledge factory. “Call him up and confirm it," Malcolm said m conclusion, "and then I’ve a proposition to make to you myself. I want to buy the factory without the Rutledge Mask.” A sneer spread over Henry’s face. “What kind of trick is this?” he demanded. “Purcell wants that mask.” “Oh, no he doesn’t,” Malcolm returned easily, “and you can sell to me or not. as you like. You’ll get a fair cash payment. If you don’t take it I’ll get you the way you got Rutledge.” Mr. Dunsworth jumped angrily to his feet. “I see. You get the factory and the mask will go at a song to Pureell. Is that it?” “It is not it. Mr. Pureell is negotiating for the purchase of a far superior product.” He paused before throwing his bombshell. “Its discoverer,” he said smoothly, “is one of your own employes.” Howard was staring at him with a glimmering of understanding. “Nan Smith,” he said voluntarily. “That’s right," Malcolm returned, "send for her. She’ll verify what I’ve said.” Nan Smith was sent for, but when Caroline Walked into the room Mr. Dunsworth Was speechless with surprise. Howard had taken on a sickly look. Caroline gave him one glance, then turned to Malcolm. Malcolm told her that Purcell would buy the mask. But bv this time Henry Dunsworth’s brain had started to work. is absurd,” he said. “If Miss Ratledge has a mask tn sell it will naturally be purchased by a member of the Dunsworth family.”
