He no doubt has things cared tor but if the world condition is half as as they claim it is, we doubt if a few good “cattoes” or a few good putts of a golf ball will help things much. - 0 .O'";, 1 - Maybe they are having too many of those high-powered cocktails at the Geneva conference. We never thought they made one think any clearer and we sure need some straight thinking these days. Every meeting over there seems to wind up with specially . made cocktails by ter tenders who have been trying to fool us these many years. _—o 0 The Van Wert county hospital hgs added an electric fan to every room in the building now.

The started the 1956 campaign to elect a Republican president and copgress. People will get rather tired of the display if they have to read or hear about its progress the next 17 months. — Any way they have started and as some 10,000 letters have been aent out urging early organisation. They may reach the peak long before Novepaßtr next year and then find it difficult to hold an advantage. Some times having too much money to spend is a detriment, even though those who are spending it do enjoy it. ♦

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE AS THE gambler listened, though his poker face showed no change, the indifference drained out of him. He was beginning to see the glimmering of an idea. The swinging doors pushed open for a moment to admit • gleam of daylight and the figure of a tall, heavily-built young man, a bit red around the eyes and grim as to i mouth and chin. Evidently he had some importance in this crowd: heads turned at his entrance, ana as he plumped across the room, his progress was halted by handclasps and low-toned words, accompanied by looks of respectful gravity- He was drawn into the most noisily belligerent of the groups, which quieted at his entrance. Heavy bands clapped him mi the shoulder: drinks were sympathetically pressed on him. “When’s the fun’rai goin’ t’ be, Fred?” Calder heard one of the men ask, and the muttered reply, “Tomorrow. Two o’clock.” •’We’ll all be there,” the speaker assured him, with a solemnity that wasn’t altogether sober. “Nate was i good fnan—a mighty good man.” •Til tell the world he was.” The grim-faced young man brought a clenched fist down on the table. •A’ those murderin’ sons that finished him ain’t heard the last o’ die Cullens yet—they ain’t!’* His companions growled their approval Calder signalled the barender. "Who’s that young fellow ;hat just cams in?” ..... “Fred CuHen.” The barman eyed aim with a touch of uneasiness. 'Stranger In town, ain’t you ?’• “Just riding through," Calder agreed. "Seems like there’s been lome trouble here.” "Sure has.” The bartender lowered his voice. “Bunch o’ nesters raided Broken Spur—biggest cattle outfit in the country. Fred, his brother ‘ was, killed. What ’s your pleasure, friend?” “Give me a bottle of your best.” Dale paid tor It, and walked over to Cullen’s table. "Beg your par- ; don. The man at the bar's just been telling me about your sad loss. If you wouldn’t consider It presuming for a stranger to offer tils sympathy—" Young Cullen raised bloodshot, suspicious eyes to the gambler's (see. Calder continued smoothly. ’Td take it as an honor if you’d have a drink with me—you and your friends." I The others at the table made 1 room for him; glasses were filled.

46-Man Crew Os Schooner Rescued Coast Guard Saves Lives Os 46 Men BOSTON (IN$) —The til fated Portuguese schooner Ilhanavesei Segundo, whose 46-man crew was rescued dramatically late Monday by the coast guard, apparently sank in flames early today 500 miles of Newfoundland. The cutter Mendota, which pulled the men from 13 lifeboats and then attempted bo battle the raging fire in the three-masted schopner, radioed oday that she had lost contact with the ship, and believed she went down. A search for the 384 ton fishing vessel proved unseuccessful. Also at th« scene was another cutter, the Cook Inlet. Meanwhile, the 46 crew members, picked up by the Mendota in a 30 mile wind and 10 foot seas from battered lifeboats, were transferred to the Cook Inlet so the Mendota could continue on patrol. Only one of the survivors was injured. The ship's dog also was included in the survivor party. A short SOS from the burning vessel sent coast guard craft and planes hunting a large area of the

Listening to their talk, he managed to insinuate his sympathy with farmers fighting for their rights against the arrogance of cattlemen. For once, he didn’t try to rush things. Cameron would have approved of his methods. There were still several hours of summer daylight left: for what he had in mind, he knew darkness was best, when men couldn’t see eqch other’s faces. And the two men in the jail were safe; they weren’t going to run away. z • • • The noise of the nesters crowding into town had reached up even to the cell into which Lacey Parran, looking more like an unhappy bloodhound than ever, had finally admitted Christie, after receiving her assurance that she wasn’t going to slip Kerry a weapon or a key. Kerry’s fever had gone down, and the pain of his wound was easier, but he was still weak, and content to lie back quietly on the lumpy cot, with Christie’s hand in his, until they heard the trampling of horse-shoes and the mutter of voices in the street.\ V *' "What’s going on?X he demanded fretfully. “Look but the window, Christie." | “Just a lot of nesters riding into town,” she reported, keeping her voice as cool as she could. She’d seen the open wagon with a tarpaulin stretched over it, and she didnt need much imagination to guess what lay underneath. “What th* devil—” Kerry tried to get up to see for himself, and shewas almost thankful for the wealcßcss that made him firop back. “Call Lacey," he insisted. “He’ll know what it’s all about" Lacey was a long time answering her call, and when he came at last, she needed only one look into .the heavy face to know she hadn’t been imagining things. "You’d better go back to the hotel, Christie. The streets might be gettin’ kinda’ rough in a little while.” “What’s happening, Lacey ?” Kerry raised himself on an elbow. Ths sheriff hesitated, then “You’d have to know sooner or later, Kerry. All hell's busted loose,” and he told them. Kerry cursed with futile savagery. Chrutix demanded. “What are

Come on now —y oU got to leave so I can lock up.”“Are you going to leave the jail unguarded with that crazy mob loose tn town?” “Jim Farrell’U keep an eye on things while I’m gone.” “Jim Farrell!” He was Lacey’s deputy, a lank, ineffectual elderly man who had subsided for ten year* on his deputy’s salary without doing anything visible to earn it Christie swore her disgust. “1 grant you Jim's no great shakes Ajf an officer,” Lacey conceded, “but he’s as good as we can get for the sal’ry we pay. Would you want the job?” “I'd be more use than he would!” “Wouldn’t be surprised if you would, Christie. You can take it up with the town council next time they meet. Now clear out an’ let me lock my jail.” Outside, Christie paced restlessly up and down the main street, watching the nesters going in and out of the two saloons. This time she really looked at the crowd, and she didn’t like what she saw or felt of their temper. More and more she wished she hadn’t sent Rob away. Since he’d been too late to deal with the trouble at Broken Spur, he’d better have been here, dealing with — whatever might be going to happen. She fought with an impulse to ride after him. Her pride rebelled at the idea of running for help, when there might not. be anything to need help against And she didn’t like the thought of leaving Kerry, even though there was nothing she could do, locked away from him. Besides, Rob had enough to worry him—but Kerry was his as well as hers. If there were any danger threatening him— Her abstract steps led her back toward the jaiL Walking blindly, she brushed against a couple of nesters standing spraddle-legged on the side-walk.

Sharp Drop In Construction Os New Homes Tightening Up In Supply Os Mortgage Money Is Blamed WASHINGTON (INS) —A tightening up ip the supply of mortgage money was blamed today for a sharp drop in new home building. The labor deparlmept reported that in July, builders started 116.000 housing unite, an 11 per cent decline from the 139,000 which got underway in June. The normal decline from June to July is less than one per cent. At the same time, the federal reserve board reported that industrial production rose to a new record high last month with employment, income and consumer buying all showing a further expansion. The reserve board said the industrial production index rose one point during the month, to a new high of 140 per cent of the 1047-49 average. This was 14 per cent above July 1964. The drop in new home construction starts, however, was seen as a possible brake on the business boom. The July figure dropped below that of the corresponding month last year for the firtt tithe in-1966. The month's total was 1,000 under he July 1954 starts, which numbered’ 116,000. Department officials attributed the sudden decline — which incidentally caught them by surprise —to the increasing competition for available money. However, a tighter credit situation has been developing for several months. This trend has been intentionally fostered, to some degree, by the Eisenhower administration. Officials have expressed increasing concern over the soaring volume of mortgage and consumer credit. They feared the developments, unles checked, might lead to a bigger boom and then a bust. Normally, however, demand for credit increases after July 1. Thia year the lusty business advance has accentuated the demand. And, in contrast to 1953 and 1954, the federal reserve has taken no steps to prevent a tightening of available money. Instead, for the most part, the credit controllers marked time. However, the July drop in housing output may bring about a review of credit policy, particularly if construction shows signs of dropping further. Last month’s starts were at an annual rate of 1.300.000. This compares with the 1,400,1)00 a year rate which prevailed earlier in 1955, and the government forecast that 1,300,000 units would be starred this year. \ ' ' New Examiners For Board Os Accounts INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —There were nine new examiners of the state board of accounts today All had qualified in recefat examinations. Four began their duties Aug. 1. They were Kenneth L. Williams, of Evansville; Ernest ,G. Statelet, of Rockport; Howard F. Bultman, of Liberty, and Ralph W. Judy, of Rockport.
