S. highway 27 at the Eiting corner near tjie south city limit. J \ . These stark tragedies are not deliberate or premeditated. They just happen and frail human bodies cannot withstand the shock and jolt which accompany crashes of) motor vehicles. I In a flash of a second, a car driven by Harry Fritzinger, who had traveled thousands of safe miles Rs a rural mail carrier, and a truck driven by Oscar Ray, collided. ‘ ? \ I Mrs. Harry Fritzinger, her sister, Miss Margaret Confer, and Peter Bailey, passengers in their respective vehicles, died from injuries receivd in th crash. Seriously injured were six other members of the two motoring parties, including Miss Rose Confer, a. 7 sister of the two women victims. We realize the printed word will not lessen the sW- \ sering and anguish of the survivors, but we would notybe human if we did not attempt to extend condolence t<ythe ? bereaved families. \ T / Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the FritzJ inger, Confer, Ray and Bailey families. May the. days 1 I ahead bring them solace. , • .

High Production, Conservation Team High production and conservation must go together says Win fred L. Gerke, chairman of the " Adams county production and marketing administration commit- > tee. - *' : V Gerke points out, “we need high per-acre production for defense; we need conservation for continued high production.’’ He does not agree with those who assume that high yields must necessarily exhaust the fertility of eoil sooner than low yields and that nothing be done about it*. He illustrates his point- by using?

Bone Disease Due To Glands .

THE body is precisely geared to use just so much and no more o ■ -'tlfe many powerful chemicals • a which its various glands produce. Thus, either und'er or over-produc-tion by any one of these structures Cj ’ is bound to result in disease. • We bear very little about the so-called parathyroid glands, located 4in the neck behind the ♦ hyroid glands, afid yet they perform an important funcUon. secreting the hormione which controls the calcium content of the Wood. When these tiny glands, which usually nunyber from four to eight, begin to secrete too much rf’ their hormone, the disorder — Jcnown as Von Recklinghausen s disease of the bone results. Calcium is pulled outset the bones Into the blood stream and the bones are softened to the extent that fractures occur even with out injury. Bone cysts often develop. ' Along with the pilirig up of calcium in the blood, there is a marked . decrease in (the amount of phosphorus. Over-production on .the part of the thyroid glands may be the result of a tumor of _ the gland or merely of its working overtime. Because of the high excretion ot phosphorus and calcium in the urine, kidney stones are fortned in 80 percent of \he patients with this condition. Many times this disease is first recognized when ythe patient consults his doctor because of severe pain-dee-to the

corn as an example. If a farmer gets a high yield Os; corn by the use of hybrids and fertilizer, he will need fewer gcrps to produce the corn needed. The commercial fertilizer that was put on the soil to gef the .high per-acre yield of corn will help to■ step up ; the growth bf grasses and legumes. The increased food from pasture and hay helps to reduce the ■nadJ for feed grain. In this way, according to Gerke, high production’ per ecrd and conservation fits together perfectly. “It is for* this reason that w.e are doing everything' we can through the agricultural coacervation program to push production that is based on grasses and legumes,” he concluded. V

kidney stones. The doctor, seeking Io find the ckuse of the kidney stones, discovers that the patient has Von Recklinghausen's disease ot the bone. Blood tests showing a high gniount of calcium and a low Amount of phosphorus help in the diagnosis of this condition. There is also an increase in the phosphorus and calcium in the urine. The muscular tone is weakened 1 ecause of the excessive dmoiint of calcium. • \ Inflammation pf the cornea or front part of the eye is very common. There may be annoying dryness 1h the motith and throat, and nausea and Vqmiting. X-ray examination of the bones shows a characteristic lack of calcium and therefore the bones are not as clearly visible on the X-ray plate. ; Treatment consists in the removal of the tu|nor of the par .- ’hyroid gland, if present, or removal Vof the over-functioning gland. Patients with this condition should have a diet low- in calcium and high in fluids. This may be obtained very simply by emitting cheese and milk from the diet while increasing the fluid intake. i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. J.: What is phenobarbital i;sed for? Phenobarbital is a drug used primarily as a sedative or a hypnotic to promote sleep. It is employed ih certain cases Os nervousness and epilepsy.

Credit Rate Bureau Opened Here Today Bureau Opened For J County's Merchants Services ot the Adams county credit rating bureau were started today for subscribing merchants throughput the county, according to officials of the bureau, who stated further that there is still much preliminary work to be done. They said that the services offered at the present time will be adequate to serve the inquiries of the merchants; however, there are innumerable names yet to be submitted to the bureau to be indexed. The bureau is so conceived as to offer the greatest amount of information on credit ratings established by customers In the past. These ratings will be used by businessmen as a barometer of future credit business. The core of the business is the list of scores of hundreds, of painea supplied by Joe Leming, |f the General Finance company. ? These names are added to oth--ort. which are being submitted by businessmen, thus giving the bureau a complete outline of credit consumers. i Credit customers, according to the manner of rating, can lose their positions; some can redeem , Rad credit and ascend to a better Standing, according to the bureau, while others will slip downward tor credit failures. In this manner, an up-to-the-minute rating will be made on each customer enabling the mprichants to have a clear understanding of the current set-up in the county.

..CHAPTER THIRTEEN FLAGSTONES led to the King house, two vvide steps climbing up to a deep verandah. There were easy chairs On the porch and, tt seemed, a constant breeze. A man stood up. He 1 had been lying on a couch, hidden by the high balustrade. "Hl, Pops,** Lois called. "Here’s our new neighbor.** The man came to the edge of the steps. He was just a shade tallei than Lois, inclined to chubbiness. A portly stomach pushed at the gray trousers, held aloft by broad, blue suspenders. The short, thick legs ended in scuffed boots, showing the marks bf long and hard wear. His arms were short and thick, the sleeves rolled high, showing a thick bulge of muscles. A gray, sweeping mustache covered his upper Up and his voice was a friendly baritone. Tonto noticed instantly hbw much father and daughter resembled one another. He had the same pointed chin and high cheekbones. Chestnut hair scantily covered his high dome and his eyes .were a frosty gray. • f "Tonto Riley, Pops. This is my father, Roy King.” Roy shook hands. "Sit down, Tonto. Lois, reckon you could scare up a drink for us?” She went inside. Tonto took an easy chair and Roy King grunted contentedly as he sank back down on the horsehide sofa. He shook his head in gentle mockery. "That girl makes life entirely too pleasant for a hard working rancher, Tonto. This sofa’s a heap more comfortable, than a saddle. This porch sure beats the hot sun. Never let a woman coddle you, son. You grow old before your time.” Tonto grinhed but said nothing. Lois came out with bottle and glasses and disappeared into the house again. Tonto felt disappointed but * managed to hide it. He lifted his fuU glass to Roy’S gesture and downed it. Roy stared out over the porch rail. "So you took over the Slash S? Glad to see someone permanent there again.”' "I’m glad to be there. It’ll keep me pretty busy for awhile. There’s .a lot to be learned.” "Grant always kept full records,” Roy said. "Spent most of his time jotting things down. You won’t have no trouble getting ahold of the business end. From the looks of you, I’d say you’d punched a few'coWs.” \ “A few—mostly the other feli let’s. Now it’s different” \ • :

Lois came out with a plate of cookies and some lemonade. Roy made a wry face at them and poured another drink. Tonto wondered briefly how lemonade and Whiskey . wouldi mix and bravely started the experiment when Lois extended a glass. After the first shock and strange mixture of flavors, It wasn’t so bad. He munched cookies and joined in the small talk. He liked the Kings, liked their frieridly, easy Way. In an indirect and rambling manner, Roy gave his promise of full co-operation and help. Almost casually, Tonto learned what cattle buyers could be trusted, the problems of winter and summer feeding in this section of New Mexico. • Talk drifted easily to the neighbors and their ranches. Roy King displayed a shrewd judgment of people and an ability to sum it up in a few words as penetrating as a knife point. Lois King had much of this gift, too. Before Tonto realized it, the hours had passed. Time and again he had surreptitiously studied Lois. Hers was not a passive beauty, but one of vivacity, of a quick sparkle in the eyes, a swift mobility of the lips. She took an interested part in the conversation without being a chatterbox. Why hadn’t Rick Staples married her? The question kept recurring to Tontb. He had thought to bring the murder and Grant Staples' strange will into the conversation several times, but some inner caution prevented him. Once he turned from a study of Lois to catch Roy’s shrewd and probing glance. Tonto had the grace to flush a little but Roy made no comment. At last, reluctantly, Tonto pulled himself out of the chair. The sun barely topped the hills to the west and the Rafter K crew soon would come riding in. Tonto picked up his hat, sighed a little. ’ "I’d best be riding back.” "I’ll show you to the line fence,” Lois said. Roy cleared his throat “Reckon I'll do that chbre. I’ve been wanting to look over the range that way, anyhow." Tonto felt a surge of disappointment. Roy walked inside to get his hat, leaving Tonto and Lois alone. Tonto circled his hat brim with his fingers. "I sure enjoyed myself,” he said. He hesitated, searching for words. "I—maybe you won’t mind if I rid? over again?” ,■ “You’re always welcome.” “I—thanks.” He moved the hat brim at a faster pace. “I’d just like to make sure that you—maybe vou'll be around whan I ride ov*e » - I : ’ r ■.

! "Why, Tonto Riley J” Her dark r brows arched and she laughed, I pleased. At that moment Roy King came out, on the porch again. I Tonto irritably crushed his hat on his head i and \ followed the little i man to the gate. Lois called after them and:Tonto turned. ’ "We’ll look for you soon, Mr. t Riley." 1 Tonto’s. heart leaped. His fumbling request had been answered. He \waved his hand in acknowledgment and followed Roy to the corral with I a jaunty step. Roy roped and Saddled a rangy gray. As they rode out of the yard, Tonto looked back. But Lois was no longer bn the porch and in a few minutes Tonto was out of sight of the house. Roy had i little to say as they rode along, 1 and Tonto was busy with his own pleasant thoughts. They were dearly to the line gate when Roy pulled in the gray to a slow walk. He looked sharply at Tonto. A v "Grant and me was friends, as near friends as anyone could be with him. He told me a heap about your Paw,: and Grant said he gambled you’d be the same kind of man.” < "I might be,” Tonto said quietly, “if I work hard enough. There were few like him.” Roy nodded, less tn agreement but more in confirmation of his own judgment of Tonto. He looked up at th? elope of the hills. “I know why Grant gave you the Slash S—and you know why. It was worth everything Grant had to taring Rick’s killer to law. He was willing to pay it You’ve got a job cut out for you.” 'Tm learning. No one knows .anything definite, except that Rick was killed. That’s not much to go on and two years have passed. I’ll do what I can.” "I know that” Roy grew silent thoughtful, and he sighed. "Rick’s killer has been living with all of us for two years and feeling mighty safe. Now you come along., You’ve got to unmask him if you hope to keep the Slash S. Grant told me how he’d fixed his will. If you start probing and picking up the old, Cold trail, what do you think the killer will do?” "Cover all he can. Or he’ll sit tight like he has for two years.” “He’s killed once,” Roy said slowly. "He might do it again.” Tonto thought that over and at last he Shook his head. “Not likely —at least right away. He’d run too much risk of exposing himself to the rest of you. If I get close, he might try it That’s something Til have to risk.” /Ta fia CoatiMusAJ * 5 , * ■

Anfi-Fireworks Law Effective 12 Years, i. . . ■ ’ A .A; J. v » Bill Made Tougher { By New Amendment Indianapolis, July 2—(UP)— A dozen fourths of July have gone by since Indiana banned fireworks, and there may be some high school kids who never have seen a firecracker or a sparkler. Hoosier lawmakers passed an* j antkfireworks bill in 1930. Before that, anybody could buy and shoot off any kind of fireworks be cbuld get his bands on. The »aw, which obviously has saved a lot of fingers and eyss—and possibly lives, prohibits the sale or use of fireworks of any kind. A new amendment this year also makes possession, transportation or advertising illegal. A Despite the general ban on| individual celebrating, Hoosiers can’ watch tireworks displays in their own state under approved stpervision. The latv, allows the fetate fire marshal to issue permits to responsible organizations. Thus far, nearly 200 permits have been issued in Indiana, an average of more than two for epch county in That’s about average, officials say. \, In years past since the law was enacted, many Hoosiers slipped fireworks across state lines 'from states with wide-open celebrating. . But most people obeyed the law and took their youngsters to the public displays. However, It’s probable that many never have seen a Roman candle or skyrocket. And some high school freshmen or sophomores were so young Just before fireworks were outlawed that they probably don’t remember them. Even if they have seen fireworks, most kids never have tossed tor pedoes, flipped firecrackers or pushed the plungers on carbide • cannons. , r I ' . ■ ‘ ? I ■ ~jA'7 . v‘.

’ CHAPTER FOURTEEN THEY CAME to the gate in the line fence and, with one accord, they drew rein. Tonto knew Roy was not finished and he patiently rolled and lit a cigarct “Did you know,” Roy said suddenly, “that Rick and Lois was to be married?” "I read Grtmt Staples’ reminder to come over here and talk about it.” . ' ' “Grant wrote everything down,” Roy said, a touch of wonderment tn his voice. “I swear, he mapped out every snake hole on the Slash S! Yes, Rick and Lois was to be married. I knew she loved the boy but I ain’t so sure about Rick. Sometimes I figured he was crazy about Lois. Again, I wasn’t so sure.” \ “Meaning?” Tonto said softly. Roy lifted his plump shoulders, dropped-them. He squared around in the saddle and glared at Tonto. "I’m sorry Rick’s dead and 1 hope you find his killer. But I’m glad him and Lois wasn’t married.” Tonto waited, knowing Roy would continue. There had been slight hints and inferences before that Rick Staples was not exactly a model of virtue. Now Roy King had made a definite statement that confirmed the hints and placed the ’ dead man in a new light. "Rick was wild,” Roy said at last, “and, in away, I reckon it was Grant’s fault He was always too blamed stern and hard on the boy and he was bound to buck the traces. That was Grant’s business, howsomever, except when Rick and Lois got sweet on one another. That’s when I worried about it. But Lois thought he was all right. ] She admitted he was a little wild I but figured she could straighten j him up once they was married. Maybe she could—but it never come\about.” \ j “I’d heard*” Tonto said without inflection, "that Rick and his father had a little trouble.” "Rick played-with the wrong crowd, Riley. Lois knew some of it, but not all. Maybe she knows new that he’s dead and folks have talked. Rick liked to gamble and he was the kind of hombre Who’d bet his underwear he could fill a straight open on both ends. Many’s the time Grant paid off Rick's ; lOU*s. Rick' liked to drink and the more he had, the better poker j player he figured he was.” %

"Was a time,” Tonto said gently, “when I was the same kind of pilgrim. I reckon it happens to all of Us.” a | Roy apparently didn’t hear him. "Rick liked his women too well. He did most of his helling away from Avrillo at the railroad town, forty miles north. That helped some but word still got back. He’d go after most anything in skirts. Women, gambling and liquor don’t lead to nothing but trouble. Then, about a year before him and Lois got engaged, Rick took to chasing Ruby Sevier.” Tonto’s head jerked up and his eyes narrowed. Every trail seemed to lead to her and Tonto made a silent bet with himself as to the next name Roy King would mention. He won almost instantly. Roy rubbed his, saddlehom as he 'spoke. ' ‘ “'' , '■ “That ment real trouble sooner Or later. Bart Overby wouldn’t like that and you could bet he’d do something about it.” \ "Meaning—?” Tonto let the question fade off. Roy growled savagely in his throat. "Meaning nothing that would hold up as evidence. I know .the job Grant wanted you to do and, for Grant’s sake, I’m giving you what little I know. You’ll have to go from there.” ••Rick was shot,” Tonto mused aloud, "with a small caliber gun. About the size bf a gambler’s weapon, I’ve heard.” ••You hear a lot,” Roy said, "including what, I’ve just told you. I hope you can make some sense out of it. I can’t get anything more’n a hunch that I’d watch Bart Overby. Maybe that’s wrong. Well, come over any time. You’re welcome and I can say that for Lois, too, I see.” I He grinned, waved his hand, turned his horse and rode away. Tonto stared after him then slowly unlatched the gate and rod\e through to Slash S range. He locked the gate. "Didn’t miss a thing!" he said admiringly. "He saw me locking at her like a sick calf—and he ain’t mad.” He turned Star and headed toward the distant Slash S home ranch. His clear, lilting whistle suddenly broke the stillness and Star’s ear swiveled around at the sound. Tonto took a deep breath, A ' .. '7 ■ ■ ■ ' '

Funny ' how a girl could make a man feel : he owned the whole world and that’s in it! ■r Even away from the tables, Bart •Overby's fingers were always busy With a deck of cards. He shuffled them and cut, shuffled an r < cut Ugain, fingers moving so ; fast that they blurred.; He made a swift deal, dropping the card® into five piles, and when he was through, th j card originally on the top of the deck was still there. He turned it face up, dropped the deck and picked up his drink. I "You always do it in private,” kd Gilpin complained irritably. always! Why don’t you use it outside where it’ll do &me good?” pßart laughed. “I always give a . stacker an even break. It keeps him coming back. Besides, I’ve got to live in Avrillo.” snorted and leaned back iii his swivel chair. He hooked his thumbs in the arm holes of his donate vest and frowned across the office at a vivid oleo bf “Custer’s Last Stand.” The picture irritated him but he wouldn’t be without it. Custer was a fool to play all those odds and he got nothing djjt of it fcut a skinned skull and the Pearly Gates. Gilpin warned himself never to play that sort of / a game. |'■ -' . I -The door opened and Ruby looked in. Bart waved at her and the girl carpe up to the table, bending down to kiss Overby. I-“Oh me,” Gilpin sighed to no one in particular. Ruby and Bart kicked at him. ,:"It’s those pork chops,” Bart said judiciously. “I told you they were too greasy.” . “Pork chops, nothin,” Gilpin exploded. He caught himself and motioned toward the door. “Go look pretty somewhere else. Ruby?? ( She glanced at Bart, who nodded Rightly. She kissed him again and Mew a mocking one toward Gilpin. t|e grunted and she closed th« door. Gilpin fished a cigar from his pocket and bit off the end. He carefully lit it, then arose and moved toward the door. He opened it and peered outside and Bari heard sounds from the barroom, Gilpin closed the door and returned te his desk. \ r . w (To Be Continued/ - ....
