Among those listed are the: Surtax on gross In-j---come: a three cent per pack on cigarettes; 87 additional auto' license. That Lincolnian economy dltlonal gasoline tax and a 82 boost for a hunting and fishing boast Isn't working. o o Will 1947 see any great >sooks published? The year 1847 did Its novels included Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Wuthering Heights by her sister Emily, and Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Any one of these would have made a year notable. but here came three masterpiece* within 12 months. Poetry saw the publication of Emerson's poems and of Longfellow a Evangeline. Evidently 1947 must go some to equal this record. It will not have to achieve very much, how ever, to surpass 1946, which was singularly lacking in great literature.

Season for Virus Pneumonia

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. O. : A8 cold weather usher* tn the! “pneumonia season. '* there will be many cases of what la known an primary atypical or virus pneumonia. Other types of this disease can as » rule he controlled with pent cillin or the sulfonamide drugs but In virus pneumonia we must still depend on genera! supportive measures which can bolster the patient's own resistance. Hence It Would be well if more people would learn to suspect virus pneumonia when it is present, or the sooner they go to bed and call the doctor, the better their chances for recovery. A Careful Study A careful stpdy of this condition by Or. A. B Adams aad b?» coWorkers of New Zealand Indicates that It starts suddenly in practically every instance, with shivering. a feeling of sickness. tired nesa. lose of appetite, headache, fever and sweating. In some cases at the beginning, the symptoms are not severe but usually by the second to the fifth day the patiei.t feels wick enough to go to bed. in moat cases, the fever to above 193 L and tV bringing ap of

One day's toll of dead In airI plane, auto and train wrecks totals nearly as many as the casualty . lists released by the army and navy during the war. Either we are traveling to fast, or not enough care is being .given to i equipment, resulting in so many 1 tragic accidents. And we don't know what good an investigation will do. for by the time it is completed there will be other causes that bring about wrecks in the air. on the highway or on the tracks. o o ♦ It has been many years since Decatur had an up-to-date city directory, the move now underway to have one compiled by the R. L. Polk Company, meeting with a degree of popular favor. Contact is being made by a directory repre-, sentative among local business firms and merchants, and if the plan proves satisfactory, work will start on "counting noses" in this city. The directory. If properly compiled, should serve as a census of the city, along with giving the address of every person 18 years | of age or over. o— —o—- ( Four men have been found guilty of assault and battery charges r against mental patients at the ’ Marlon Veteran s hospital. Federal , Judge Swygert. before whom the b trial was held, commented. “I re- h cognize that the hospital was tin v derstaffed. that there was glaring r inadequacy of facilities, that help was not adequately trained, that pay was only half of what could | be had in industries in that area, t and that the situation was a try-j Ing one for attendants. That still ' does not excuse certain conduct. I can’t excuse those instances of ( men being struck by fists." Sen tence will be passed next Tuesday.j ° ° c The city's utilities did a record- I breaking business in 1948. The ! 1 electric department turned out 38,- ; 579. 000 kilowatt hours of electric u energy and the water department 1 pumped 224.384.860 gallons of water. Sales were larger than In I the previous year, but net profits ' were reduced, due to Increased j costs for labor, coal, freight and supplies. The combined profits ' of the two departments were a little more than 8125.000. which proves that the plants were well operated. In addition to the net profits, both departments contributed to the civil city's budget and waived another 820.000 in * charges for ornamental street lighting and fire hydrant rentals. Without the municipal plants, taxpayers would find that city taxes would be about double to what 1 they are now. Let's keep on Improving ths- utilities and continue to render more efficient service to every user of city light and water.

She laughed. “When you laugh.” he said, “you remind me of my kid sister." “Do you love her ?" -You bet."

Nine years younger than he. A rustle in the thatched leaves above his head brought him bolt upright, and Cliff s startled gaze rose to the glistening coils of a snake gliding screes a rafter.

“Sells them to zoos Twice a t year the boat comes up to take them away " There were beasts all about them. A dozen monkeys scolded from a nearby cage, a pair of coati-mundi ran toward them, uttering small, friendly noises, hoping for food, then close beside Cliff a low snarl made him whirl-lips drawn back, a full-grown jaguar was looking up with lethal, greenish eyes Lilli leaned down “You do like to scare people don’t you. Pic to?*’ She kneeled before the cage, and the snarling ceased, slowly the anger drained from the greeft. malignant eyes, and now Lilli raised her arm. reaching between the bars, scratched the jaguar’s head, while Cliff watched, fascinated, nardiy breathing She laughed up at him “If you tried that, you'd lose an arm " ft made a memorable picture in the soft, dappled sunlight -the girl slender as a willow with bare feet and braided nair her arm about the great cat that stood with lowered head and sleepy, placid eyes P seemed to Cliff that Lilli herself belonged to this world of jungle no less than the jaguar, and again he was conscious of the mobile delicacy In the Modeling of her face and body; be saw the girt drop her eyes, and knew he had been staring overlong Still fondling the jaguar’s shoulder, she began speaking to the animal, while the monkeys ceased their scolding, then suddenly both girl and jaguar turned their heads, and a growl rose in the big cat’s throat They were listening to something Cliff could not hear, and not until a moment later did he catch the sound of hoofs coming from the jungle behind him Cliff turned. There in the trail a rider sat a great black horse. Never in Bogard's life had he seen a man so huge. He must have been six feet Uli at least, but height was no real measure of his . bulk, for the body itself waa bearlike. The face was dark, almost ’ swarthy, with well-molded lips. ‘ high-arched nose. and tawny eyes. A strange, unequal face that just , missed being handsome. Throughout a silent moment the rider looked down. then, dismounting. walked forward until Cliff saw 1 with surprise that tall aa he himself was, this man towered over ! him. i Even then he did not speak, but stood watching Cliff, studying him. i There waa something vaguely meni acing in that leisurely appraisal, and as If LUli sensed It too, she ■ moved to Bogard's side. i “Hello, Vin." she said In a half • whisper, and Cliff knew be stood to fact with the one man Wade had wanted him to avoid.

Cliff's unruffled acceptance of the situation seemed to dlscon cert him. and for a moment hi stood frowning and hesitant, ther again the deep voice rumbled “Three weeks ago another on< came here for rubber I wamec him to go He did not go Have yot heard what happened?” “You ran him out. 1 bought hi warehouse and machinery ’’ "You wasted your money Yoi will never use it." “Why not?" “We do not want you in th< Blacklands That is our home “ Cliff lit his cigarette T don* quite see what you have to do witl me The plantations belong to th' people of New Dixie and 1 hsvi an option on that rubber I brougti a big crew of men for this job and I made a contract with th< United States Government.
