Two automobile tragedies, occurring within twenty-four hours of each other Which snuffed out the lives of two Adams county children, have brought sorrow to all of our citizens. Wendy Doherty, three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Doherty, Geneva, was killed Friday night when an automobile was Sacked over the child while she was playing at the street curbing. Oh Saturday evening Stephen Allen Lambert son of Mrs. Delores Penrod, near Geneva, was struck by an automobile and killed. This mishap also occurred near Geneva. Both fatalities were purely accidental. Both victims were only three years of age. Os course, no one can be blamed for such tragedies, but they should serve as a warning to all of uu. We can’t be too careful when driving our automobiles. Children and even grown-ups can dart in front and behind vehicles with such quickness that many mishaps are unavoidable, Let’s all pledge to be more careful in the future. —0 0 The Indiana Bankers Association is waging a relentless war against cashars of worthless and fradulent checks throughout the state. Each year, merchants are the victims of these crooks to the tune of thousands of dollars. The association warns to be careful of checks, presented to be cashed, which are already endorsed; counter checks numbered in the ppper right corner; same handwriting on endorsement and the face of the check. The warning states further that these local checks usually are written in poor handwriting and in pencil. Don’t hurry, when asked to cash a check, the association says. Ask the person to endorse the check in your presence. Beware of checks on out of town banks and especially payroll checks on concerns you do not know. Further the association warns, be careful of personal checks written for more than the purchase. The bankers group believes that by following these few simple rules, merchants will save thousands of dollars each year. It’s worth a try. A reliable person won’t object to wait while you call the bank to check on his account. The next victim might be you.

Three important personnel changes in the huge Central Soya Co. were announced Saturday by Dale W. McMillen, Jr., President C. I. “Scotty” Finlayson, Decatur i, plant manager for 10 years and prominent in civic, Church and business affairs of Decatur has been elevated to the position of production manager. Scotty will have headquarters in Fort Wayne and will be head-man in UTof Central Soya’s plant operations. His friends, which include just about every citizen of Decatur, congratulate him on his advancement and also congratulate Mr. McMillen on his selection. We * don’t believe he could have done better. Decatur will miss the Finlaysons, because Scotty and his wife both have become a part of almost everything and every movement in Decatur which have spelled progress in the last several years. We want to welcome back to Decatur Mr. Mrs. Tom Allwein.. Mr. Allwein, a Decatur high school graduate and son of Mrs. Frank Allwein of Decatur, has managed the Gibson City, 111. operation of Central Soya for 12 years. In that city, the Allweins have been always helpful in civic. Church and industrial affairs and we have every reason to believe that they will fit well into Decatur's many pfforts to keep building a better city. Newell Wright, who has been with Central Soya here for two years, as maintenance and personnel supervisor, will become Gibson City manager. The Wrights have made many friends in Decatur in the short period they have resided here and their friends wish them continued success with their great company. A survey of the Central .Soya per r sonnel from top to bottom reveals the pleasant fact that Dale McMillen. Jr. is following in the sure footsteps of his father. Dale W. McMillen. Sr. in maintaining an incomparable record for his company, which for years has led the way in its field. We congratulate the son for his successful efforts and the father for his wisdom in giving his son the opportunity. Decatur continues to prosper, when her industries and their workmen prosper and may it be forever!

Allow the wax to settle for a few minutes, then polish. A fine gloss will be the result when cleaning a waxed stove if a damp cloth Is wiped over it, then rubbed with a dry, soft cloth.

SYNOPSIS If the three heirs to old Josh Trevitt s sizeable upstate New York farm remain on it tot at least three months after bis death, each will Inherit onethird of the land. Those leaving sooner must relinquish their share or shares to those remaining. Anal resident to be awarded the entire farm. So when old Josh died, his kin were notified and copies of his will mailed them. In the late spring, we find Jennie Todd, an inheritor, a spinster, at the Trevltt place, making ready her quarters in the ramblingoid farmhouse, and being assisted by Wick Middleton. executor of the Trevltt estate. CHAPTER EIGHT IT WAS after 4, bo Wick did not stop at nia office but drove on to his home. Though he had lived in it his 41 years, there was always x pleasantly satisfying feeling in turning into its driveway under the big maple trees, knowing the comfort that awaited him in the big, homely old house. His cousin Nettie was cooking supper. Nettie had said, when she came after his mother had died 15 years ago: “I’ll stay until you find yourself a wife. Wide" But he had not found anyone ne wanted to marry. The town said it was because Nettie took too good care of him. His friends teased him about IL “Look it you! Ten pounds overweight!" Nettie had friends in the town—sometimes ne had heard it suggested that Jim Meese might be more than a friend but had laughed st it, for Jim was as set a bachelor is he was. ' He always went into the house through the kitchen door. Nettie was in the kitchen. “You’re home early, Wick.” “Yes. 1 drove up to the Trevett farm. One of the nieces has eome —drove in, while I was there, in Ed's taxi. Jennie Todd—the unmarried one.” “What’U that mean, Wick?" “AU it means is that she is in her wing of the house." He added: “Ahead of her right to be there.” The legality of it did not bother Nettie.' "It's nice one of them came, the way Josh wanted them to!” Then she exclaimed: “My goodness, Wick! 1 forgot—there’s a telegram come for you. Pete Morey brought it here when he coijjdn t find you at the office. I put it on your table in the sittingroom.” She hurried to get it. Wick read it. “My word! Another one’s coming. . . ," "Abdtber what?" “Another of Josh's heirs. The other niece.” \ He read the telegram aloud: “Arriving by motor with daughter late Thursday afternoon. Please reserve rooms with bath for us at best hotel, for such length of time as it wiU take to put my part of the Trevett homestead in liveable order. Please engage reliable woman to clean place and housekeeper for the summer. Hester Wilincr." ■— “Sounds like she may be a little uppity," commented Nettie. Wick began to laugh. “Our best hotel! Wait 'tiU she sees the Buck House here.” Nettie said: “Wick, they can’t go there! It isn't even clean! They’U nave to come here.” “Here!” He looked at her in horror. “Are you crazy, Net? I’ve an idea this Hester Wilmer Is a tough one to take." Nettie shook her reproving finger at him. "Now don’t go jumping to conclusions about someone you’ve not laid an eve oft! They

LABORS OF HERCULES

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE . 0 o Q. Is there any limit to the number of knives and forks one places at each plate when setting the dinner table? A. There should not be any more needed, it is brought in with the any one place. If more silver is needed, it is brought inw Ith the proper course. The dessert spoon or fork is brought to the table on the dessert plate. Q. When passing a cream pitcher, or any other such article with a

can have the two front rooms. I won’t mind a bit giving them meals. And I’U speak to Mrs. Dean tomorrow about the cleaning up there. She needs work.” Near noon the next day a thickset, sandy-haired man opened Wick’s office door, came hesitantly into the room and asked: "You're the lawyer Middleton?” Wick said: “Yea. And you are— Thomae Todd?" He barely made It a question, so certain was be that the third heir would appear. "No. Fm Dan Dooley, friend of Tommy's. A good friend. Tommy couldn’t come, so 1 come and brought Tommy's girt She's down in my truck, waiting. Thought I ought to speak to you before I drive her up to that place.” "Sit down, Mr. Dooley. The will hasn't been probated. 1 sent a waiver to Thomas Todd to sign. 1 haven't had it returned to me. This girl cannot occupy those quarters up there until these technicalities are covered, the estate proportioned out. Then only if her father choose* to meet the provisions of Jehosophat Trevett’s wilt She, herself, has no claim on it" Dan Dooley sat down on the edge of a chair, a puzzled concern on his face. "I don’t know nothing about law but 1 thought what was Tommy’s was Cindy's." Wick was thinking he never had seen more honest eyes than this man's, fixed on him, asking something, asking it in desperation. He said: “Is there any reason why it was imperative that you bring the girl now?” Dooley said: "The girl had to go somewheres—there was only this place to come to. Heard of it tn the nick of time, it seemed. Or so Brigit said. We’re Cindy's guardians, sort of, Brigit and me. Tommy brought her to us when she wasn't much more than a baby and we’ve reared her. She's a good girt, IB now. Through school and graduated head ol her class . . He saw Dan swallow as if It were hard to say what he had to say. “Tommy’s in trouble just now. It looks bad—this time." “Under arrest?” “Held, they call it And the girl doesn’t know. She would if she stayed with us there in Covington. The paper'd be full of it tor Covington was—well, you could say Tommy’s head office. We've kept her from knowing all along what Tommy's business was." "Gambling?” asked Wick. Dan nodded. “Some. Horse racing. Numbers. But it’s these here pin-ball machines now. They got up a syndicate—covers as far as the west coast They got them, though, tn St Louis. Someone started a big hullabaloo there. You see Tommy works under another name—Richard Cornelius. But it'll come out who he is and Cindy'U know." Wick said: “Has she any funds, Dooley ? She can get nothing from the estate as things are just now.” "I’ve brought the money she's been earning. I’ll leave it with her. It’ll keep ber for some weeks. She’s good at cooking." Dan got to bis feet “I’ll drive her up if you’ll tell me the road to take. I figure to see her sort of settled before I start back. I’U sleep ih the truck tonight—go at daybreak.” Then he drew a big envelope from his pocket ahchtly

Jrandle, should ‘he handle always be turned toward the one who is receiveing it? A. Yes, always. Q. How does oae acknowledge a vacation postcard one has received? A. Merely by making some mention of it the next time you meet the sender, and t! anking him for remembering you. Cairo — The Sahara desert extends 3,000 miles from the Atlantic to the Red sea. Trenton — New Jersey is the only state whose governor serves for a three-year term.

worn from long carrying. "Here’s aU this you sent to Tommy. I couldn’t forward It to him, 'count of his going under another name, see? What you want me to do with it?” “Take it back with you—get it to him when you can." Dan Dooley held out his hand, and Wick shook iL He glanced at a small clock on his desk. “It's lunchtime, Dooley. Let me take you and—Cindy as my guests to a restaurant nearby. Then I'll drive up to the farm—show you the way." “That’s right kind of you, Mr. Middleton." They went down the stairs together. Wick saw Dan’s truck at the curb and the girt in iL “Cindy, this la Mr. Middleton. He’s asked us to eat with him before we go up to your place. Climb down!" Cindy climbed nimbly down, held a small hand out to Wick. "Very glad to see you, Mr. Middleton! I'm awfully excited to be here. Starving, too!" She ate neartily of the food Mrs. Plebby of the Midtown lunch parlor put on the table. Outside of the restaurant Wick said to Dooley, “Miss Todd will need some provisions. There’s a store down the block." “V/e bought some stuff. It’s in the truck " “Weil. we’U start off, then. My car’s right here—l’ll lead the way." There was no sign of Miss Jennie Todd when he drove into the farm. Nor of Gary Nor beck. “This is it," he said to Cindy and motioned to the back door of the kitchen wing. She was due for a let-down, Wick thought, remembering Josh's limited quarters. Dan Dooley was following Cindy toward the door, a battered telescope bag tn one hand, a fined brown paper bag in the other. But Cindy, standing in the middle ol the kitchen wing, looking around it, cried out, "Dan, isn't it cute? See the little stove?” She went to the stove, lifted a lid “What do you burn in it, Mr. Middleton ?” "Wood,” he said. "The pile’s back of the house —plenty for the summer." Cindy was not dismayed. "We cooked with wood at the YW camp." Cindy went to old Josh’s bed in the corner, thumped the mattress. "Any sheets and things?" asked Dan Dooley of Wick. Wick had asked of himself the same thing when Cindy crossed over to the bed. Jim Meese had stripped it of its sheets, he knew, directly after old Josh died. “Maybe in this big chest," cried Cindy, going to the huge old chesL She opened a bottom drawer. “Yes, here are sheets and pillow cases.” Wick moved toward the door. “If there’s nothing more 1 can do, Miss Cindy ...” He held his hand out to her. “You know where my office is and where there is a grocery store.” “Yea. And thanks for the lunch, Mr. Middleton." “It’d be nice if she bad a dog with her here,” suggested Dan. “No, Dan! A oat! I’d love ■ cat!" Wick heard himself saying, "I’ll get you a cat, Miss Cindy."
