Plan to attend the state fair in Indiana. It will be a tremendous show for everyone. Exhibits are already being entered and every department of the big show will be worth seeing. 0 0 —- The Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, the world’s largest Hotel, has a daily capacity in their laundry for 15,000 sheets and in the winter use 150 tons of coal per day. Monday washings and monthly fuel bills of the average home may not seem so bad in light of these facts. —-0 0 General Motors directors have voted a three-for-one common stock dividend. Stockholders must and probably will approve it at a special meeting called for September 23. The company now has about 93 Million common shares and the new issue will raise that number to 278,597,000 shares. 0 0 Will Rogers statement that “Everyone talks about the weather. but no one does anything about it’’ certainly holds true. The weather, regardless of what it happens to be, is probably the most talked of thing anywhere. It even takes precedence over baseball. 0 0 Senator Jonneon, Democratic leader of the senate who suffered a severe heart attack a week ago should be able to return to his duties when the new session of congress convenes, if no further attacks occur. This news was told to the senate by Senator Clements who read a statement by Dr. James Cain of the Mayo Clinic. 0 0 We wonder if the noise made by motor-cycles as they speed around town is necessary. We have heard from a number how annoy-

ing It is to hear the chug-chug of them as they operate on the streets. —i4 oI— Certainly one of the everyday miracles that we all take for granted is photography. To think that one can, with a little box and a piece of silver-coated paper, capture scenes that otherwise might lose their importance to either groups or individuals is certainly amaz.ing Things innumerable that in the past were unknown to most people have become known to all through the medium of photography. 0 0 Not too many people enjoy the frequent summer thunderstorms, but weather experts point out that their value is a lot more than meat* the eye. Besides bringing at least temporary relief from high temperatures and the very valuable water they produce, the warm-weather electrical displays are important mineral producers. Due to the action of lightning’s great heat, the air around a bolt is reduced to its chemical components and large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous are released to enrich the soil. This natural fertilization plays an important part in the growth of plants. A fire chief s ear and a fire truck collided at Indianapolis Thursday striking a third car driven by a Mrs. Crossen who was killed. No one has ever explained why fire trucks and cars are permitted to go at neck-break-ing speeds over crowded streets. Os course It’s important that they get there as quickly as possible we presume, but in this case they didn't get there at all so maybe even these powerful machines could do better slowing down just a little.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN A BROKEN SPUR man had dW hy a nester’s gun, and their wnpet demanded payment in kind, Perhaps no one but Rob Mallory could have held that temper in check. He gave no sign of noticing its voice. With a jerk of his head toward his riders, he ordered, “Take him up,” and obediently Bill and Tip climbed down. f In a frozen silence, they hoisted up the sprawled body, lashed it across Art’s saddle, mounted their pwn horses and waited for their . boss's orders. “Take him home ” Rob turned in his saddle for a last word. “I didn’t’ want killing, Larrabee. Whether there’ll be any more of it is up to you.” The five riders and the sixth horse with its gruesome load, headed north into the bloody last light of the setting sun. Larrabee turned to his son, and gently lowered him to a seat on the ground. “Nate, you’re a good hand at doctoring. See what you can do for him." Cullen ripped away the bloody ileeve, examined the gash, and nodded his grizzled head with relief. “Just a flesh wound. It’s deep, an’ he lost a lot o’ blood, but he’ll be all right” Seeing the trouble on his friend’s face, he added kindly, “He had to do it, Joe. Man’s got a right to defend himself. That fellow was a killer. No call for you to feel bad about him.” ■‘lt’s not him that’ll be troubling my sleep.” The care in his mind brought the singing rise and fall of ah Irish keen into Joe’s tongue, erasing the carefully learned speech of his adopted country. “But it’s not the like of Rob Mallory to be letting a man of his be killed and him be doing nothing about it. There'll be black trouble to come of this. I have the feeling of it in my bones." “Gettin’ the second sight of your old age?” Cullen snapped. But his irritability only let his own unease show the more clearly, It didn’t take the story of Art Craves’ death long to spread all

When agirl has spent a weekend in another girl’s home, to whom should she address her “bread and butter” letter? A. This letter may be addressed to her friend, but she certainly must include a message of sincere appreciation to the girl’s mother, who usually deserves much of the credit for a pleasant visit. Q. What is considered the standardized fee for the bridegroom to give to the minister who performs the wedding ceremony? A. There is no standardized fee. The bridegroom gives according to his means. Q. What is the meaning of “case au lait,” and how is it pronounced ’ A. "Coffee with hot milk,” pronounced ’tkaff-ay-ohday.” Sunday Excursion Plans Cancelled The Chicago excursion planned by the Craft club of the Decatur Masonic lodge, for Sunday has been cancelled, the committee in charge announced. Hot yeather and lack of reservations caused the cancellation for the present time, a spokesman said. The excursion and Chicago sightseeing trip will be rescheduled later this fall, it was announced.

over the Mescalero country, Christie Toland heard it in Sundown, and came back to Slash T with her face set in lines of stern gravity. Jared and Wayne Cameron were sitting on the porch when she came up, silent in their polite neutrality. Cameron let her see the quick look of admiration warm his face, up to the cold, unchanging eyes, before he asked concernedly, “Somethin’ wrong, Christie? You look bothered.” .. . "Plenty,” she informed him grimly, and poured out the story. Jared sucked in his breath with a bleak look in his faded eyes. Cameron observed, "Well, a tough man met up with the kind of finish his kind got to expect. But it's not the end of it. Good men are likely to die before we see the last o’ this.” “Yes,” Christie assented, tightlipped." “More than likely.” "Good men on both sides,” Cameron added. "I suppose so. But I can't feel as sorry for the ncsters as I did. Oh, I’m not shedding any tears over Art Graves. Like you said, he was one of the wild bunoh, and he probably had it coming to him. But Larrabee and his crowd stirred all this up, trying to grab what didn’t belong to them.” “That’s the way it goes,” Cameron sighed. “A thing like this happens, and right away people start takin’ sides. Even the fairest minded people—they can't help gettin’ riled up, once there’s been blood spilled. Bein’ a stranger,” he added, with an apologetic halfsmile, “I reckon I can't feel it quite the way you do. Mallory’s your friend. An’ there’s goin’ to be a lot more fecjin’ the same way, on both sides. "Riordan,” he added casually, "picked himself a good time to clear out” “Kerry couldn't have seen this coming," Christie protested. •‘O’ course not,” Cameron agreed quickly. “Whatever failings he’s got, nobody ever hinted he didn’t have nerve." “You know him better than I do,” Cameron said politely, and changed the Subject, fait Christie’s mind kept coming back to it that

night, after she was in bed andshould have been asleep in her usual healthy sleep. Kerry couldn't have known what was going to happen —or could he? There’d been talk going round among the nesters, even before the fight at the schoolhouse. She herself had heard it in Sundown, and Kerry, she remembered painfully, had friends at the Forks. Had he heard the talk, and run away from danger as he’d always run away from responsibility ? She couldn’t make herself come to an answer that satisfied her—and In the code she’d been bred in, lack of courage in a man was the one unforgiveable sin that made him contemptible, less than a man. Wayne Cameron rode away from Slash T humming a song under his breath. He knew he'd put in a good day's work —just enough and not too much. That was one of the things that set him above most of his kind —he always knew when not to crowd things. Christie Toland couldn’t be crowded. She was smart. Her brains made her hard to hook, but worth the trouble. Once caught, she’d be a help to an ambitious man. Cameron wasn’t indifferent to women, but he’d never let his senses run away with his judgement He’d always seen where a woman could be fitted into his plans. Lita Dawson, now—she was smart enough in her way, and under his direction she d been a useful bait in a lot of games. But this time he was after bigger stakes than a herd of cattle or a greenhorn's roll. Lita could still be a help in getting it, but he needed a woman like Christie to help him use it A woman with looks and brains and dignity, who would be an asset to a man with designs of cutting a wide swath in the world, even if she hadn’t carried the inheritance of Slash T. That had been a card he hadn’t figured on when he’d selected this country as his base of operations —but noone could say of Wayne Cameron that he didn’t know how to make the most of any unexpected trumps fate dropped in his hand.

el by P. Q. Wodehouse. Those who have enjoyed the humor of Wodehouse will be interested in this new novel. THE FLOWER GIRLS by Clemence Dane is the Book of the Month for July. Gilbert Highet says of it — "it is a spacious and delightful story which cannot be read in an evening. We are meant to live with it.” It is a novel about the colorful dramatic Floristers — first family of the English Theatre. THE FLAME OF HERCULES by Richard Llewellyn is a story of a fugitive galley slave. It is dramatic and full of action.
