A report from Lynn. Massachu-! Setts says that the General Elec I trie company has develped a new! traffic light that automatically! counts cars that pass and rations! the green light to keep traffic! moving at maximum efficiency. ■ ■■3-M I After living through a good! many decades of seasons we have 1 decided that summer is usually! hotter and winter always colder! than we like it. It will probably always he that way, regardless of science, and all we can do is talk about IL 0 0 " Traffic deaths ia Indiana have totalled 518 this year. This is a reduction of six for the first six months of the year. A year ago the report for six months was 524 dead from traffic accidents. Not much to boast about but a decrease rather than a* increase, which is something. 0 0 According to reports from the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago the business of America, which has been excellent the first six months of this year will continue just as good or perhaps a little better during the balance of 1955. That’s good and everybody will enjoy It but we hope those who are creating the boom will not blow the balloon up too big. You know that's usually the sign of a “break” and we don’t want that. How about going along for a while on an even keel? —o—o It’s nice to live in a community like Decatur and have available so many forms bf recreation. We have a fine golf course, a public courts, basketball goals all over town both public and privately owned, shuffleboard courts, - places to pitch horseshoes and several fine parks complete with _ picnic tables and swings, slides, and merry-go-round for the youngsters.

■fairs and provide an opportunity ■for people to get to know each ■other better. ■ o o ■ Recent improvements in the ■field of agriculture have not only ■proved to be of great value to the ■farmer, but they also furnish an ■overflow of fine products for city ■folks who like to have their own ■ gardens. Calcium cyanide is one ffof these products that serves a double purpose. It kills weed seeds for about two weeks after p it has been put on the soil and I- then turns to lime and nitrogen • - that helps the growth of young planta Soil conditioners are another boon, particularly to the local residents that have to battle clay. If you treat your garden, young seedlings will emerge faster and become more productive. If you have passed by the sprays and dusts to control harmful garden insects because there are too many brands and too many instructions, why not try one of the new all - purpose compounds? You’ll find you can fight insects fairly consistently and boost the quality and quantity of your produce. 0 0i— — The Indiana stream pollution board has formally ordered the City of Decatur to cease pollution of the St. Mary’s river by January 1, 1957. That order in terms we understand means that the city will have to construct a sewage disposal plant, provided the order holds and provided the board has authority to enforce such an order, It is believed likely that when and if the City is compelled to construct a disposal plant, cost of Such a plant will be added to the water bills of all residents of Decatur. It is a tax, which is not deductible from federal tax payments. We might as well brace ourselves for sooner or later such a project is coming and another possibility, not too far away, is construction of a water reservoir In Decatur or south of Decatur to harness the river water for local use. ,

SYNOPSIS Rob Mallory bad hoped bls foster•on. Kerry Riordan, would settle dowi bow. wsd their neighboring ranchei. Christie Toland, take over the management ot Broken Spur, which Mallory had butlt into a Texas cattle empire But there was a wild streak in the boy which drove him off on drinking spree?. into the arms of the earthy Llta Daweon. It was because of Llta that Christie had broken with Kerry and hail turned her attention to Wayne Cameron. an icy-eyed stranger. Trouble tn the area had long threatened, for farmer* had begun to nest on the land. Disputes as to rights and boundariet arose, and range war seemed inevitable, at a local dance, physical ‘ yiolencu Bared sharply, when Tim Larrabee, farmer, and Kerry Riordan rancher, fought for the favor of beautiful, earthy Uta. And when Mallory learned of this latest mess': involving his boy with Llta. be whipped the lad soundly, wounding hia pride, driving him from Broken Spur In quest of adventure. But adventure was breaking right here on Broken Spur. Someone had dared stretch a wire fence across part of Mallory's land, and one of Broken Spurn •ow bands had been killed in the entiling dispute. Alone. Mallory review:) his personal past. Lives again the love tragedy which had sent film dishonored from the U. 8. A™y. to seek solacn in the loneliness of the range. CHAPTER TWELVE THERE was little trace of a tormented night on the handsome, controlled face of the man who stood tn front of the bunkhoust next morning, whiting for the foreman to finish laying out the day’s work before he announced. "Sandy, this afternoon we’ll take four men and go down to the south range to see if Larrabee's token his fence iown." Matter-of-factly as If this were any ordinary chore, Sandy told off three of the men to accompany them—Chuck Downs, Tip Clancy, Bill Larned, all old, steady hands. He hesitated a few -seconds over the fourth name,"—"And you, Art,” and felt the little movement go through the waiting crew, for young Art Graves had the name of a fighting man. He gave a swift, questioning look at Rob, caught his barely perceptible nod st approval, and added slowly, "You want they should carry guns, Rob?" “Carry ’em," Rob agreed, "but lon’t reach for ’em unless I give the word.” The sun was beginning to slope westward when they rode south, six quiet, sober men set for whatever eame; even young Art's habitual liveliness was curbed by the presence of his boss. Rob had kept his word; Larrabee had had twenty-four hours.' There were five men waiting for them behind the wire fence— Joe Larrabee, Tim, Nate Cullen, a toll, spare, bearded man like a prophet in overalls, and his two sons. Drawing closer, they saw the lean shape ot a shotgun propped against the fence. Art’s hand went Instinctively to his holster, dropped away again under Rob’s look. The riders came abreast of the fence, and tour pairs of eyes met them with a steady defiance like a stone walk The Tfth pair— Tim's— singled out Rob with a hate that was hot and personal. “So you brought your hired hands along to back you up this

time!" he Jeered. “What's the mat- < ter, Mallory? Gettin' too old to handle your own fighte?”,, Rob's Ups tightened, but he answered quietly, "Some day when I’ve got time. I’ll settle that with you, <f you're interested. Today, I've got business to attend to. Larrabee," he turned to Joe, ignoring the others, “I gave you twentyfour pours. It's up. My men are pulling up that fence. If you've got the sense I always gave you credit for, you won’t try to stop them." He Jerked his head toward Sandy, and the foreman ordered his men, "All right. Get to iL" Eks voice was rough because he had seen something in Larrabee's sac» that made him suddenly disUke the job. The nester was too practical a man to tackle the odds of six guns to one, but on his leathery cheeks there was the hot, painful flush of a proud man forced to swallow his pride. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his son, but he reached out to lay a hand on the big arm that was swelling and tensing under the blue sleeve. "Another time, son," he muttered huskily. Nate Cullen's stern prophet's eyes bored into the cattlemen. “You win this tune 'cause you got the guns on your side—but we got the law on curs, an' you can’t beat down the law with guns—not for long. Some day you cattlemen'll learn that. ‘He that takes the sword —’" “Amen, Brother!" Art Graves chimed in ironically. He tyrs reduced and sweating from his efforts, for the Lar ra bees nad done a good, solid job of setting their tence-posts, and like most cowhands, he considered this sort of work beneath his dignity. “Young man," Cullen told him, "you better be careful how you jeer at God’s Holy Word. Might be you'll toe wantin' it sooner’n you think." “Shut up an’ get on with the Job, Art," Sandy snapped. The young man obeyed, his face sullen. Finally, ‘he last post was down, and the fence that had been a flaunting challenge was just a Amp, tangled heap of wire on the ground, “Get it off my range," Rob ordered, “before my cattJ* run into iL” An angry retort trembled visibly on Tim’s lips, but his father said, "All righL son. We’ll be taking it away — and we’U be bringing it back in our own good time—", “Don’t try IL Larrabee. I don’t want a range war on my hands, but if you’re asking for it, you’ll get IL" “An’ you’ll get more’n you’re lookin’ for, you—!' Tim burst into a stream of curses. “Lemme shut the big sodbuster’s mouth for him, Rob,” Art pleaded. “Let him talk," Rob ordered. There was authority in him that lay like a powerful hand on all

EVen Tim felt the weight of it and fell silenL kicking sullenly at the heap of wire. • But Art’s frustrated temper had to find some outleL and as bis mount, a nervous, high-stepping claybank, fidgeted under him, he jerked its head up with a vicious saw of the reins. Instantly the animal bucked, head going down and back up with a snap that jarred the rideFs spine. Art’s spurs raked the horse's sides and it reared back, front hooves lashing the air. The nesters, with a hasty. prudence, leaped out of range. Art held his precarious seat with a practiced grip. The struggle was as short as it was fierce. The quivering beast, acknowledging the mastery of the creature on its back, dropped to all fours again. But one descending forefoot tangled in the mass of wire Tim had kicked aside as he sprang back. The animal stumbled and thrashed, trapped by the tormenting barbs, and Art was pitched sideways out of the saddle and sprawled face down on the torn-up earth. He came up choking and spluttering, wiping dirt frqm his eyes’ with one hand while the other clawed tor his gun. “That mangy sdn ot a dirt-eatin' nester! He did that a-purpose—l” Th- gun came clear of the holster, and at the same moment, witl a swiftness no one would have expected trom nis clumsy bulk. Tim lunged forward and snatched up the shotgun, and the two triggers spoke together. The dirt in his eyes, or the shock of the tall, nad shaken Art’s aim. His bullet went high, tearing through the flesh of Tim's shoulder. But the cowboy took the heavy shotgun charge square in the chesL He stumbled, <oughed, a look of dull surprise glazing his face, then buckled at the knees and dropped. Larrabee hsl caught the shotgun as tt fell from hia spn’s numbed hand, and leveUed tt at the row of mounted men. Five guns covered him, with the fast draw learned in the school where failure could spell death. “Drop IL Larrabee!” Rolfs voice cracked like another gun-shoL "Drop it! You don’t stand a chance!" Btowly, very slowly, the gunbarrel was lowered till it trailed on the ground. Slowly Larrabee’s hand released tta grip on the stock, and he stood weaponless, his wiry body planted like a shield in front of his son. « •Thia was my doing," the neater's breath rasped in his corded throat “If you want a dead man for a dead man—take me—not my boy." Deliberately, Rob put up his gun. "Art reached firsL He asked for iL" There was a mutter ot dissent from the men behind him. (To Be Continued.),
