Opportunity continues to strike at your door, but at many of them the occupants are too busy arguing baseball, politics or religion so he goes on looking for a deserving and steady "critter." 0 0 Fishermen the last few days have been well paid tor their efforts. Many local anglers report excellent catches in northern Indiana and southern Michigan the last 10 days. 0 0 The newest hurricane, Diane is still beating around the bushes on the east coast with some indications that it might extend its thrusts to the northwest and might even be felt in this territory. Home construction continues at a fast pace in the Decatur area and builders report that about twenty or more new homes will be ready for occupancy tn the next month or six weeks. The homes are located in every part of the city. —-0 o These hot days arfe a tar pry from the July heat wave. Nights cool off and make the days not too bad. We probably won't have a 24-hour a day wave of intense 4 heat like we had tn July, any morb this year. And then, maybe that's just wishful thinking. 0 ft The Brooklyn Dodgers have outgrown their old Ebbets field, at least for special occasions, so they have arranged to play one game with each National League opponent at Roosevelt Stadium In jersey City next year. Business is good for *th<T leaders of the national sport. Squire McKeddie over at Van Wert doesn’t believe in overlooking overladen trucks. He “socked” Richard E. Trixler of Kendallville who was driving a truck tor Lfebln A Sons of Fort Wayne 8748 for carrying a load of scrap from Delphos to Fort Wayne with an overload of 24,138 pounds. Bet that will slow them down a little. -yy— -"t.- • ms--,

Strange as it may seem. Democratic Digest, the national rnaga tine of that party didh't care for the Hoover non-partisan report and says so In the September issue. And now Mr. Hoover is mad and says so. The administration seems to be leaving hands off. The report was so volumnous that few people have looked it over very carefully. 0 0 Governor Folsom of Aalabama is out with a statement favoring Harry Truman for the Democratic nomination for president. We haven’t heard yet what Mrs. Truman thinks about such a move but we would guess she would advise her hubby to stay out now that he is on a diet of plain living that will assure a longer and happier life. 0 o Reservations already made on the Decatur Democrat-Erie railroad Labor Day excursion to New York indicate that much interest is being manifested locally. The Daily Democrat is sponsoring the trip as a public service and also to boost Decatur’s last remaining passenger railroad service. You can be assurred that every bit of the 146.00 you pay for the roundtrip excursion is used by the Erie 4 to provide you with a week-end you'll never forget. There are no commissions to anyone on the ticket sale, and ve believe the trip is one of the outstanding bargains of the summer. —0 0 A recent bulletin of the Indiaha Economic council states that Hoosier incomes are above the national average and also their spending habits are above the national average. The average family income in Indiana is |6,800 a year compared with the national 56,300. Automobiles are owned in Indiana on a ratio of one for every three persons and the national average is one for every 3.3 persons. More Studebaker automobiles, manufactured In Indiana are driven by Hoosiers than any other state. Automobile dealers In the nation sold thirty billion dollars worth of vehicles in 1954. the bulletin states.

When a bride-elect has no family, near relatives or guardian, Isn’t it all right for her bridegroom to stand that part of the wedding expenses usually assumed by the girl’s parents? A. No. If the girl herself cannot afford the expense of an elaborate wedding, then she must not expect her bridegroom to shoulder this. Her wedding should be a very simple one. Q. How- should a maid hold a dish as she presents it to the guests at a dinner table? A. Flat on the palm of her left hand, and presented at the left of the guest. If the dish is hot, a napkin can be used as a pad underneath. Q, Isn’t it all right to mail out the wedding announcements a day or so before the wedding? ’ A. N%ver; they should be mailed out immediately after the ceremony. Pajamas Acquire Masquerade Look NEW YORK (INS) — Teen-ag-ers and college coeds will look like they’re dressed up for a masquerade ball instead of bed when they don the new fall pajamas. On the market are pajamas of flannelette patterned after a basehall uniform. Another pair of “pjs” feature a ampck-Jike.. top with patch pockets nad pants of a harlequin print for the art student look. » . Other tnemes for fall include cowboys, skiing and hobos.

.CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUK CHRISTIE looked at him levelly. They’d both been drinking. The second man leered, “Come t’ have a look at y’r sweetheart through i the bars, huh? Don't look so good that way, does .he?” Christie battled down her urge to slap the insolent red face. The other man spat again. “Looks awright to me. Only way I can think of he’d look better is danglin’ at the end of a rope. H.e'd look real good that way, the dirty murderin' — I” “Could be,” his friend hiccoughed. “Could be!” Christie whirled past them. Her boot-heels struck a savage rhythm from the planks of the sidewalk as she strode toward the livery stable. Here she mounted her waiting horse, and rode furiously toward Broken Spur. Lacey Parran had been spending an uncomfortable half-hour with Rob. All afternoon Rob had been pacing the living room like a caged lion, with the furies fastening on his soul. He had to recognize Uie hopelessness of trying to drive' his battered and depleted crew into action against the nesters again without a breathing spell, but the galling ijccessity of doing nothing, the feeling of having his hands tied, had built up a temper that was formidable/ even for him—and the unfortunate sheriff had received the full brunt of it. After thirty minutes at the mercy of Rob s tongue, he felt as if he'd been beaten over the head With a quirt, and he welcomed the whirlwind entrance of Christie into the room. “Here, girl!” Rob - crossed the room in long, swift strides and put a supporting arm about the spent girl. “Sit down. I’ll get you some-thing-to drink” She shoo# him off. “Never mind me, I’m all right Can you come back to town with me?” -What’s happened ? Is Kerry aIT right?” “The nesters — ” Visibly she pulled herself together. “They’re in an ugly temper. They've been doing a lot of drinking, I guess. Anyway, I heard a couple of them in front of the jail, making lynch talk. I guess it’s just talk, but with nobody but Jim Farrell at the j«’l — i Hob whirled on Lacey, "You;

' Second Watershed i Congress Dec. 5-6 ‘ Focus Attention On Conservation Needs WASHINGTON (INS) — Plans are complete for the second nationi al watershed congress to be held in !■ Washington on Dec. 5 and 6. Purpose of the gathering is to t focus public attention on the need I for upstream flood prevention - through soil and water conserva- - tion. forestry, and small dams. Sponsoring organizations include 1 all of the major farm groups and r such other diverse bodies as the , -AFL and CIO, the national associ--1 ation of manufacturers, the U.S. ' Chamber of Commerce, the Isaac Walton League and the Audubon Society. A major objective of the second congress will be to appraise progress made under legislation pass- - ed by congress last year which : provides for federal - cooperation - with the states and local groups i in planning and carrying out water shed treatment programs.. ' Thus far the program has been ■ operating only on a pilot basis. The way it works is that the . administrator of the. soiL oM*serva» tion service authorizes local SCS representatives to provide planning assistance and to make investiga- : tions and surveys wherever local authorities show that they are will-

I never —-” “You thought!” Rob fairly spat it at him. “I could have had the crew together and been half way to town by now.” “Rob!” As Rob started for the door, Lacey pulled himself to his feet, his sagging figure straightened up into something resembling dignity. “Where you goin’?” "To the bunkhouse,” Rob rasped, "to toil the crew to hit the saddle —where else?” “Lodka here, Rob—this ii my job—” "And Kerry's my boy!” Rob’s eyes were wide open, and there was sheer murder in their black depths. “Don’t you try gzttin’ legal on me now, Lacey—” “It ain’t the law I'm thinkin’ about, Rob," the sheriff declared heavily. “But there's not more than half that ncster crowd in town. The ones that are left here —no tollin' What they might try if you pull your whole crew away from Broken Spur—” “Never mind Broken Spur! I’m taking care of my boy!” The street-noises had been buzzing in Kerry's cars and he didn’t notice that they'd grown louder until .he heard Rusty’s low voice from the next cell, "Kerry! You hear all that ruction outside?” “Sure I hear it," Kerry growled. “Nes t oj-s celebrating — why wouldn’t they?” » “Kid,” there was a sober note in Rusty’s drawl that penetrated Kerry's indifference as the nesters’ shouting had failed to do, “maybe nesters make a diffe-ent kind o' noise when they’re happy. But I’ve heard cowboys bayin' the moon ail the way from Dodge to Cheyenne —an’ that don't sound like a celebration to me!" Kerry dragged himself up to the_ side of his bed. “What do you think. Rusty?" "It sounds to me like they're out for blood—an’ I got an uneasy kind of,a feelin’ it might be ours.” Tense .on the edge of his cot, drenched in cold sweat from the effort of sitting up, Kerry listened. Now that his. cars , were opened, there v’As no 'mistaking those : shouts of iovialtlv. .Those were

ing to carry the major part of the load. However, some federal sharing of the costs is provided for. Tto date, an SCS spokesman said the agency has received 360 applications for planning assistance of which it has approved 87 in 39 states. Moreover, an additional 490 applications are being processed in the various states for submission to Washington. The legislation, called the water shed protection and flood prevention act. permits the local groups to petition the secretary of agriculture for federal financial assistance once detailed development plans are drawn up. In general, however, the secretary has decided that the. local beneficiaries should foot the bill to the extent that the area within the watershed profits from the development. The federal government would pick up the tab only for those benefits which might stem from the development outside the immediate region involved. The watershed congress, while reviewing this program, will bring together leading authorities from all parts of the country to explore federal, state, and community responsibilities now and in the future.

angry men maxing that note* men with a deadly purpose M»and their anger. A sense of their helplessness deseended on Kerry like a crushing weight. "Rusty!” he groaned. "I got you into this!” "Hush up, Kerry boy. This ain’t no time to waste time talkin’ foolishness. Might as well say I got you into it—-y’ might better. When y’ team up with a lightin’ rod, y’re liable to have the lightin’ hit too close around you for comfort. An’ this looks like bein’ about the biggest bolt I ever at-tracted!” "Rusty, what do we do?” “I’d say the first move was to get hold o’ that critter that goes under the name o’ deputy sheriff.” Rusty commenced a vigorous banging on the bars. The noise along the street was getting louder and closer. Eventually Jim Farrell came shuffling up to cell-door. The lamp he carried was shaking so that the light played queer tricks with his face, but Kerry could make out that he looked more than ordinarily like a scared rabbit, with his pate eyes all but starting out of his head. •'She iff, Rusty drawled, “sounds t’ me mighty like that mob’s headin’ this way.” "Don’t you worry.” Farrell’s slack-jawed imitation of Lacey Parran’s best official manner was so ludicrous that all the danger of their situation couldn’t keep Kerry from grinning in the darkness. "I know my duty. I’ll defend my* pris’ners.” “Reckon you’d die defendin’ ’em,” Rusty agreed placi d1 y. “Mighty white o’ you, Shcrrif, but it wouldn't be much comfort t' Kerry an' me when we was danglin' from the end of a imb. I figure it’d be more to the point if you had some help. Go.t a couple guns around?” “Why—yeah — "Then how ’bout breakin' cm out an’ unlockin’ these doors?” Farrell hesitated," his loose jaw waggling in indecision. "Armin’ pris’ners an’., turnin' ’em loose—No, •fraid that wouldn’t be reg’lar." "For God’s sake, Jim!” Kerry burst out in an agony of impatience. "Having a lynch mob break into your jail is'nt regular, either. You can’t stand them off all toy yourself!” “ 7 <To Ec. Continued!
