Chalk up the winter of 1935-36 as the old fashioned kind. It should not cause a war to have England say it has the most handsome king. As the Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne, he had for his' motto, “I serve.” Living up to that he will make a good king. These would be bad days for fires, icy pavement adding to the hazards in connection with getting to the scene of the blaze. Use the i utmost care in preventing fire loss and keep an eye on the smoke pipe, j chimney or root when firing heavy during cold weather. Writers point out that the payment of the soldiers' bonus will mean the purchase of new clothing, automobiles and payment of back debts. That’s all true. Somehow all the money gets back to the place it started and w’e all wind up not much more than we started. After bonus what will take its place. Under the leadership of Roscoe Glendenning. as president, the Decatur Chamber of Commerce is ready to go forward on its 1936 program. It will be a busy year, including the planning and staging of the Centennial celebration, the promoting of programs of worthwhile value to the community, the cooperating with Individual, manufacturer and merchant in helping make this a better place in which to live and enjoy life. Next Monday evening at the city hall the Chamber of Commerce will launch the campaign for the Centennial celebration. Committees will be named and work started on one of the biggest community celebration's ever held in the past 100 years. If you represent your church, lodge, club, sorority, or any other organization invited to participate in making plans and building the program, be sure to attend the meeting Monday. Tom Linder, commissioner of agriculture in Georgia has sent his personal petition to congress asking that they convert the money collected from import duties in the United States to the farmers to provide the money necessary to equalize the agi ciilturist with industry and then let him atone. Os course if that money ia used to take the place of the AAA fund, it would have to be provided in some other manner and would leave the government just where it is. Nearly halt ot all the money collected by the state in the form of taxes is turned ''ack to local taxing units, the annual report of the state aiiditoi shows. Receipts for the year etiding last Juno were565,421,599.88, of which $24,0(0,• 215.61, was distributed to tax subdivisions in the state. These state funds have aided township, coun-

ty, school and city governmental units to reduce property tax levies and consequently has divided the tax burden. Indiana's tux system is gradually being recognized us one of the best in the union. The ranks of the stalwart pioneers were thinned with the death of William Sellemeyer, prominent retired farmer and one of the early residents of Adams county. Tho Sellemeyer family came to Preble township about 90 years ago, cleared and tilled the soil and became leaders In the community. They were law abiding citizens, progressive and true to good religious training. Mr. Sellemeyer lived in Decatur for the past ten years, retiring from active farm management following the death of his . wife. He was a splendid citizen, ! sincere in his religious belief and of that sturdy stock ot which the I community is proud. One of the finest movements ever undertaken here was the organization of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. It's youth that has the energy, enthusiasm and desire to do things. Cooperating with what might be called the senior i Chamber of Commerce, composed 'of older members, manufacturers . ‘ and owners of business, a program by which much civic benefit can be i carried to completion this year. ,' Under the presidency of Dean Dori win, able young man and his willing co-workers, we wish for them the realization of their endeavors and assure them of the commute ity's appreciation for their willing ness to be of service. , ° t Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee j| Try It! i Are there dark circles around your eyes?

Church attendance was great not only because movies, golf, automobiles and other institutions which now detract were not established out because the hard, strenuous work of clearing the land, sapped the strength ot the men and women. It was a matter tben of work or starve. There was no WPA or other agencies to rely on. After a life-time of hard work the first settlers left small parcels i of land, cleared and fertile, which , their sons and grandsons have almost completely denuded of trees to form the most feretile region m ! ibe world. , Before the time of the Civil War. modern machinery began to filter ■nto the county. Steam engines • were introduced to run the mills. ■ Other machinery eased thte actual work on the farms Plank roads were built to speed up trausporat ion. Then the county invested, •, with private citizens, to help erCanute the company which ran a ailroad through the county. Shortly after the Civil War ma - uteinery. such as reapers, binders, • etc., began to enable the farms to produce enough to make their own ers prosperous. With tne agricul ture prosperity, grew the prosper ! . ity of the several towns. , The histories and early newspapers indicate tliut polities became one of the leading . "indus-

The schools Were enlarged and the attendance increased. The first schools, founded coincidentally with the birth of the county, had proved centers of social entertainments both for young and old. By the time of the Civil War they were well established and attendance was almost universal in me lower grades. Towards the close of the 19th century this county was nearly as far advanced in its general civilization as England, which first contacted civilisation at the hand of Julius Caeser, 2,000 years oefore. in the sceince of democratic government and universal male suiterage it had started at tne pom, waich England was not to reacu tor several years. Then the machine age swoopaj down on the county and found it receptive. Mouern roads wer; uuilv with the result today that not a single family lives on a mud road.

Streets were paved and lighted. But even today, the county seat is almost as dependent upon agriculture as the day the commissioners blazed a white oak to mark

One of the best yard sticks tor the measurement of the industrial growth of the area is that of the Decatur Light and Power plant which through its city and agricultural customers has become one of the largest plants in cities of this size in Indiana. Scientists and historians are in

doubt as to the length of time it took primitive man to emerge from his almost animal like life to the present civilization. It is measured in thousands if not millions of years.

DENIED LOUISE LONGand ETHEL DOHERTY

I- - ■— SYNOPSIS Stuart Pennington, struggling young artist, loves Sharlene Standring. v calthy society girl, but cannot ask her to marry him and snare his poverty. Moreover, he knows Sharlene considers him just her best friend Julie Devore, Stuart s model, is jealous of the society girl and would give anything tor Stuart's love, but she means little to him. When Sharlene returns from abroad with the news that she Is engaged to Kent Damerell, millionaire play-boy, Stuart’s dream castles crumble. He is. however, favorably impressed with Kent, and realizes his rival is of Sharlene's world. Stuart returns to his studio with a heavy heart. Julie is filled with elation at the thought that Sharlene rejected Stuart feeling that now she has a ehance. But Stuart ignores Julie and tries to find consolation in his work Five days before his wedding, Kent receives a long distance phone call from his brother. Leigh, in New York, informing him that a girl, named Cora, had shot herself upon reading of Kent's engagement, and her dying request is—to sec Kent! He phones Sharlene that business requires his presence in New York and goes there by plane. Kent had loved Cora for several years. Expecting her to die, he grants her wish and marries her. But Cora gains strength after the ceremony. ... Much as Kent tries to keep the marriage secret, the newspapers print the whole sensa-, tional szory. He calls Sharlene long distance to explain, but she is visiting Stuart. . . . Julie would give anything if Stuart's eyes looked at her with the same adoration they do Sharlene. CHAPTER XI Julie came forward and jerked a chair about noisily. She felt herself ignored as those two tall creatures stood smiling at each other, both burnished by the splendor of the sun streaming in the window. "Would you like some beer?” she inquired sulkily. It was her unfailing method of getting attention. “Oh.” said Sharlene, turning toward the girl with a hasty realization that she had forgotten her existence. “I’d rather have tea, if you don't mind.” "We haven’t got any tea in the house. I could make eoffee—” “No. no, please don’t bother; I'd love the beer.” The combination model-house-keeper went out into the kitchen. “Julie spends her spare time brewing," said Stuart with a smile. “She's really become expert with her crocks.” "That’s nice. . . . Stuart, I came up to tell you that the wedding is postponed—” "What!” "Yes. Kent was called East—something terribly urgent, and he can’t get back in time, even flying.” "Too bad! When will it be?” "We'll set a date when we hear from Kent again. Poor fellow, he was frantic when he found he couldn't get back. Fiut T don’t mind. It's to be such a simple wedding—” The telephone rang and Stuart an.-wered it. It was Mrs. Standring's voice, low. urgent: “Stuart, is Sharlene still there ?” “Yes. Shall I—?” “No, no. There’s bad news, Stuart. Bring her home at once but don’t frighten her. Just tell her it's —it’s a surprise.” “I see. You want me, too?” "By all means!” “Right. ’Bye.” Sharlene was standing before bis easel, smiling at a painting of Julie blowing soap bubbles. "Soap ad,” Stuart explained. Sharlene, your mother says I’m to bring you nome. She has a surprise—" j Sharlene turned sharply and looked at him with dilating eyes: 1 “About Kent?” “She didn't say. I’rather think we'll find tea there. I'll have to get out of these gardening clothes. Excuse me a minute?” “Os course. ... I wonder what it I can be? Did she sound—excited?” Stuart's voice, casual, reassuring, easne from the bedroom: “Oh, no I Tust as usual.” Julie came baek into the studio I with the beer on a tray. Sharlene ‘ accepted a foaming glass with apparent enthusiasm. She sipped it. suppressing a grimace. Sbo loathed the taste <h beer. "Stuart’s dressing to take mt home,” she observed ■* "Oh, I see.” A long pause. This is lovely beer.” "Thanks The boys who come up I here like it. And I don’t mind making it.”

"I suppose he d forget to eat when he's absorbed in a picture. “Yes, and he needs other thing*, too.” Julie said this cryptically, to give herself importance. Sharlene grinned inwardly, wicke(*Stuart came hurrying back, pulling on his coat. Sharlene rose, setting down her glass. Julie rose with dignity. I hope you’ll come again sometime, Miss Standring.” Stwst shot a quick glance at Julie, amazed at her assumption of the status of hostess to Sharlene, and astounded at his own resentment. He had never minded the model’s little airs when his men friends visited.

But Sharlene was saying pleasantly, as they went out the door: ‘Thank you, Julie. Goodbye.” » * » Sharlene stood in Mrs. Standring's upstairs sitting room, in the midst of a litter of tissue paper and white ribbon, a welter of silver and gold, crystal and objets d'art. She was looking at her mother with : dazed eyes. Her face was perfectly white, and there was a strange, ar- , rested stillness about her.
