W« won’t be Mirprieed It in a few yean we will be referring to this era aa “Ute good old days." Wise provider! will keep that in mind and get ready tor the reverse days, almost sure to come. 0 0— The Chicago Cub sane in thia section are diagusted with the showing made by the team on the two weeks eastern trip. They have dropped from second place to fifth and it looks aa if the big slide is not over. The race in the American League appears headed ter a red hot finish with the Yankees, White Sox, Indians and the Red Sox in the battle to meet the Dodgers in October. It’s still the gteat American sport. o—-00 —-0 There will probably always bo the few "road idiots" who make highway traveling a hazard. No matter how many times certain of these persons are arrested, they continue to drive their vehicles at ridiculous speeds and take dangerous chances. Perhaps the only way to rid the decent . motoring public of these hazards is to permanently revoke their licenses. 0 0 Another very important meeting is to be held in Geneva August 8 to 20. It’s the atomic energy conference and the United States will send a delegation of 324 persons to attend it. We haven’t any idea of what they can do or can't dh. We hope they don't give away too many secrets. Among them will be 193 technical advisers which ought to be enough to keep them out of trouble. Results will be important and we will watch for them in suspense: / -—o o Safety, like many other intangible terms, is a hard thing to sell. As long as nothing happens to a person they feel all the statistics are a bunch of exagerations and When some accident does happen, then it’s too late. Every year in America 95,000 people are killed in accidents — on the highways, at work, and in the home. Over nine and a half million are injured and 350,000 es these injur-

Concentration on safety wilt keep you out of the statistics and make the whole community a better place to live. Q o About the only contact we have with coffee is the paying for and drinking of, but some of the facts about it are interesting and surprising. Os Latin America’s total coffee exports, 66.8 per cent went to the United States. In 1954. coffee was the second most valuable item in world export trade — exceeded only by petroleum products. Last winter, 83.5 per cent of all coffee was consumed in the home; 9.4 per cent in eating places and 7.1 per cent at work. 77.2 per cent of the coffee was gulped at meal-time and the remaining 22.8 per cent came at odd hours. Os all the coffee consumed, 86.1 per cent was regular and 13.9 per cent was instant. Also, Hoosiers live in the area of greatest coffee consumption in the United States. The average last winter was 3.05 cups per person per day. That’s all for right now, I’m taking a coffee-break. Yost Construction Co. of this city, has just completed one of Indiana's largest sewer improvement projects at Anderson. The local concern finished the work several weeks ahead of scheduled time and the Anderson authorities were so impressed that they awarded the Decatur contractors another sewer job of near SIOO,bOO proportions. The Yost company has done considerable work in this vicinity including the northwest sewer, the Youth and Community Center, many bridges and at present .is completing the new Northwest elementary school. All of the work has been reported as “most satisfactory”. Cal Yost, president of the firm also has developed a residential section and has plans for a second one. We wish to commend the Yost Construction Co. for tha many endeavors which have helped make this a better community.

CHAPTER TWENTY GIVING Rusty barely time to pull the shirt over his head, Margie led them down a back stairway. As they followed her, she gave them their explanation, in swift words stripped of emotion. “Somebody stopped Wharton for good. They found him in the alley back rtf the Lohghorn this morning with two bullets in his back. His father’s gone clean crazy. He’s brought his whole crew into town, and they’re rounding up all the saloon bums and hard-casses in town, getting them drunk and working them up to a lynching.’’ "But why me ?” Rusty protested. "Just ’cause I had a run-in with him last night—who hasn’t? They think I’d shoot a man in the back?” "They found your lucky medal by his body.” Rusty’s hand went to his breastpockpt and came out as empty as his bewildered face. "It’s not there. How the—?’* "Figure it out,” Margie snapped. “Later. When you’re a long way from here.” “An’ do they figure Kerry in on it, too?” "I told you there were two bullets—and be was with you last night” They were in the alley now. Two saddled horses stood pawing the dirt, and the two men swung up quickly. "Stick to back ways till you’re out of town, and stay wide of the saloons. That’s where Wharton’s gang are. Let me hear from you as soon as you can. Rusty, and don’t try to come baclCtill I send you word that it’s all right. Promise?" For just a moment the face she turned up to him was desolate; then she gave him her smile. For once Rusty seemed to have run out of words, as he bent from the saddle and kissed her. The last Kerry saw of her, she was smiling with wet, bright eyes. It was a picture, he felt, that he would be seeing for a long time. You could ride a pretty long trail without finding anything better than that at the end of it But somehow the picure kept getting mixed up in his mind with another one—a tall girl on horseback, with silvery-fair hair like a crown, and ice-blue eyca A couple of miles out of town, they reined in their horses and looked at each other. “I never thought we’d make it this easy,” Kerry said. "Well, Kerry, I dunno 'bout you, but I’d been hangin* 'round that town long enough for one stretch. Beginnin’ to get monotonous.” "That’s one way of putting it,” Kerry said drily. “I hadn’t been around that long, but I got the idea the air of Dodge City wouldn’t agree with me. Gives me a kind of tight feeling around the neck.” Rusty’s griii widened. “You’ll do to take along, Kerry. What say we travel together fer a spell?” “Suits me.” In two days, Kerry had developed a strong liking for this soft-voiced, easy-smiling red head. “Well, where do we head for?” Kerry shrugged. Jl’ll leave it to you.” “They say there’s a lot o’ country down in Texas. Always had a

kind of gift? A. This is often done, and it is a nice thing to do — but it is not absolutely necessary. The bread-and-butter letter is really all that is expected and required. Q. Must every first call be returned by a woman who has recently moved into a neighborhood, whether she likes some particular person or not? A. First calle shuld be returned within two weeks, although, of course, it is not necessary to form strong friendships with everyone. Q. When a woman's husband is a "junior,” should she also use this affix in her correspondence? A. Yes, certainly.

kind o’ hankerin’ t’aee for myself. You ever been there?” "I just came from there," Kerry said slowly. “Well, if you don’t cotton to the notion o’ going back-*-’’ Rusty left the sentence in the air. Kerry sensed that the red-head suspected he might have pressing reasons for not wanting to go back, and felt sure he’d never ask. A lot of things crowded together in his head — Sandy’s talk the other night, Rob’s face in their last quarrel, Christie's hair with the sun on it, Wayne Cameron’s ice-grey eyes. . . . “You ever try to ride away from yourself, Rusty?” “Can’t say I have. Don’t sound right sensible t’me.” Kerry laughed. “Maybe you’re right, partner. AU right, Texas it is!” — '• • • Joe Larrabee and his family were sitting late over supper. It was one of the days when Molly was feeling a Uttle better, and she had dragged herself to the table” over Joe’s protests. But it was good, like old times, to have her there. With the flickering oU lamp disguising the pallor and hollowness of her cheeks, he could almost imagine her looking the way she used to look. Nothing could disguise the thinness of her voice, but, excited by the smaU adventure of being out of bed, she had laughed and made jokes quite as she used to do, and after the meal was cleared away; she had insisted on filling Joe’s pipe for him. Now he sat smoking with one of her hands in his, and Tim across the table. A moment like this was reward for the promise he’d made, and kept, even if the keeping hadn’t been easy. The other nestCTs who looked to him for leadership couldn’t understand why he hadn’t pressed his claim on Broken Spur. He knew some of them thought Mallory had broken his nerve, and that was tough for his pride to swallow. But the hardest part had been to hold Tim back. When he looked at his sori’s black-browed face, a little sullen as it mostly was these days, he had to press Molly’s thin hand hard to remind himself that it was aU for her. Tim was bitter against Mallory; that was the trouble. When a young fellow had a girl like Lita Dawson in his head, you couldn’t expect to find sense there, too; the two things didn’t go together. He thought the Broken Spur boss was bothering Lita against her will. Joe had his own shrewd doubts about that, which he was too wise to voice to his son. No one could open a man’s eyes about a woman he wanted, except the woman herself. But he and Tim had quarrelled over the matter of carrying the fight to Broken Spur, and that left a bitter taste in his mouth; they’d never quarrelled before. He’d finally had his way with the boy, but he’d lost something, the closeness and comradeship there had always been between them, and he sometimes wondered if it would ever come back. Molly broke a long silence, seeming to read his thoughts, as she so Often did. “You see, Joe, it’s the way 1 told you. it’s been twe

Three Arrests Made By Authorities Two state police arrests and one by city police made up the news from th® police station. Scott E. Adams, Kenton, Ohio, was arrested by city police early this morning for public intoxication. Adam, spent the rest of the night in the county jail. Larry W. Meyer, route two, Berne, was arrested two miles east of Preble on highwya 324 for exceeding the state speed limit. The other state police arrest .was Forre«t Wable for exceeding the posted speed limit on the Winchestei road two miles north of Decatur.

months now, an* no trouble from Mallory. He doesn't want to fight no more Bor we do, if well let him alone." “1 don’t believe it,” Tim scowled. "He’s got somethin’ up his sleeve. I don’t trust him no more’n I would a rattlesnake.” "Hush now,” Joe ordered sternly. “Don’t be putting ideas in your ma’s head.” Tim obeyed, with a look that showed plainly he had been silenced, not convinced. "Sure,” Molly laughed softly, ■Timmy’s got the bad humor on him because he’d sooner be with his gifl than with us—an’-who’s to blame him for that? The time you were courtin’ me, you'd not have been wastin’ a fine summer night with the old folks, would you, Joe?” “That I would not," Joe agreed with a chuckle. Molly’s wasted hand rested lightly on her son’s big arm. “You’re a good boy to be stayin’ home with your old ma, son. An’ need we,” she demanded gaily, “be sittin* around like three corpses at a wake ? Give us Some music, Joe." As Joe got up to get his old banjo, Tim exclaimed, “Did you hear somethin’ ?" “Like what?” “A kind o* crunchin’ noise, like somebody sneakin’ up round the house.” “1 heard noth.ng. But your ears are sharper than mine, son,” Joe added placatingly. “It might be some creature after the chickens. Maybe I’d better go have a look." “Sure, he’s hearin’ things,” Molly protested. “You’d be prowlin' forever, lookin sos somethin' that’s not there at all—an’ I’m in the notion to hear a good tune or two before I go to bed." "You’re the boss, darlin’." Tim moved to the wall where the banjo hung. He lifted it down lovingly, trying over the strings with a calloused thumb, and started back toward the table. His back was turned full to the square of blackness that was the open window. Orange light streaked the dark; a crack of sound shocked the stillness rind rolled echoingly into the empty night Joe pitched drunkenly forward, his head striking against the table edge before it slid off to rest on the Boor. The banjo dropped from his hand and landed with a discordant twangls of jarred strings. That sound, so grotesque and out of place at this moment, shocked Tim out of the unbelieving stupor in which he’d been frozen. He ran to kneel beside his father and. turn him on his hack, to grope for the heartbeat he knew he wouldn’t find. He was too stunned for grief; his only feeling was anger. ’The dirty, yellow, murderin’—” He broke off in the middle of the curse, suddenly remembering hid mother. He sprang up and hurried toward her, trying to put his big body between her eyes and the pitiful thing on tlie floor. But as he touched her shoulder, he knew that Molly would never need to be shielded again. The shock of seeing her husband drop before her eyes had stopped her worn heart, as Surely «s if the one bullet had struck the 'pair of them. (f 6 Be Continued). . . , ,
