The Primary:— The Democrats of Decatur have nominated a strong ticket for the November election. The campaign was contested by three mayoralIty candidates all of whom canvassed the city thoroughly but without any form of “mud-sling-ing". As a result the party is united and should be in a strong position for the fall campaign. The Democrat ticket: Robert Cole, For Mayor. Mrs. Mirriam Parrish Hall, For Clerk-Treasurer. Ed Bauer, For Councilman-at-large. Carl D. Gerber, .For Council9 man, first district. Norbert Aumnnn, Fpr Councilman, third district. Clyde Drake, For Councilman, fourth district, or Paul Sharpe, For Councilman, fourth district While the vote was not heavy, totals were far from the smallest ever cast With a strong ticket a solid organisation should be easy. As to issues which can be discussed, they are plentiful. Taxes have increased more than six-fold in the last eight years, in the city. The diesel power plant, so far, has proved an expensive piece of equipment with power cost being higher than steam power, production per kilowatt. Bonded indebtedness of the city also will come in for no little questioning and all in all it looks like a Democratic year. We wish to congratulate the winners, and we are oonfident they will continue in the November campaign to fight as hard as they did and as fairly as they did in the Primary elec* tion. If-they‘’dcr’this>the‘demo-crats should have a splendid chance for a November victory.

SYNOPSIS Ts the three heirs to old Josh Trevitt's s.zeable upstate New York farm remain on it tor at least three months alter his death, each will inherit onethird of the land. Those leaving sooner must relinauisn their share or shares to those remaining, final resident to ibe awarded the entire farm.

Cindy Todd, a pretty tittle motherless teen-ager, loins her Aunt Jenny at the farm, to file claim for her "missing” father's share of the land. CHAPTER NINE •WICK started out the driveway, but stopped ms car at the road, got out ot it and went to the front door ot the house. , He should tell Miss Jennie Todd that her brother’s daughter had come. Jennie Todd opened the door to his knock. “Oh, Mr. Middleton, 1 didn't know. 1 heard some talking. . . . Come tn." Wick went into the parlor. ”1 stopped tn to tell you that your brother’s daughter has come." Jennie stared at him, puzzlccj. "I did not know my brother had a daughter!’’ —— ft struck Wick suddenly that he had no proof that this Cindy was any kin of old Josh's. ‘‘Yes. A friend of her father’s brought her here. He's going back to Covington early tomorrow. I've heard from your sister, too. She’s coming tomorrow—motoring here with her daughter." At that announcement, to his consternation, Jennie Todd caught her hands together, burst ( into tears. She dried her face quickly. "I’m sorry. But 1 came here—l—needed to be alone to learn somethingnow Hester is coming. 1 can’t call my soul my own when' she’s around!” She flushed. "Oh, I'm * dreadful to talk tn this way before a stranger!” Wick was remembering the skinny little girl with the frightened eyes. He sAid gently: "I don’t want you to think ot trie as a -stranger, Miss Todd. 1 was'a Mend ot your Uncle Jehosophat. I’d like ft have you look upon me as a friend. And you can be quite independent here —there are bolts on the doors going into the other wings, you know!” Wick glanced around the room. "Maybe you’d Uke some .books—

"But 1 like them best," said Jennie. “I didn’t nave room 1* my bags to bring any.” “l U put some tn my car next time 1 come up. Do you like Trollope? He s a favorite ot mine.”“Yes. 1 can read his books over and over. 1 used to .work m a bookshop." An odd woman, he reflected, as he drove away. Yet he felt sympathy tor her. Back in the village he drove to the Buck House, where he went into the bar. “Helio, Steve," he -aid. "Some time tomorrow afternoon, late, probably, tt may be that a lady slops here, asks it I've made reservations tor her. Tell her to come to my house.

She got to ner feet with some difficulty, glared up at the man on the bank above her. “You made me do that! Yelling at me!” ‘*l yelled at you because it gets deep." % ’ "You surprised 1 me,” she explained, with what she thought was cold dignity. ”1 did not think there was anyone within miles of here." “I was surprised myself.

My father inherited part ot this farm. He could not come but 1 came. I'U be here all summer."

Not a . real one." Gary Norbeck took a step toward her. “I’d Uke to paint you as you are now—sitting on that rock —the sun on you—the tree shadows beyond.” Cindy, delighted, glowed up at him “WiU you?
