The Daily Democrat has been limping a little the last few weeks because a number ot our key employes have been vacationing. Several of our regular newsboys also have been on vacations. Soon we will be going again on "all four” and we will continue to bring ouj readers the local and state news with the best of our ability. 0 0 "Trigger” Burke was nabbed by the FBI and his long career of crime, including murder seems to be fading as they always do. He is under 8200,000 bond to ’appear at Charleston, 8. C. Friday to answer charges of murder and a jailbreak at Boston. He can begin writing his memoirs any time now as his 87 year life appears to be near an end. ■ "fr ■—o..—& * The GOP seem to be taking the position that it is terribly wrong to disagree with their policies and their candidates. Seems rather strange after twenty years ot saying about everything they could think of against those who were trying to fight for the common or middle class ot citizens who have always been the people who pay the most taxes and get the least aid from the “Big Boys.” In New York City it is now a violation of law with a rather stiff penalty, 81,000 fine and a year in jail, for any person to sell or possess a toy pistol that "substantially duplicates” an actual gun. Os course some will oppose it on the grounds that it makes nine out of ten children liable but it is “also true that many yoiipg |MMMH»II)I in tilA.Md city use the toys to frighten pecfae to do what they command. Let’s watch the results. 0 0 We sincerely hope that employes and management at International Harvester come to a satisfactory understanding soon. A shut down at the two Fort Wayne plants of Harvester throws more than a hundred Adams county citiaens out of work. For these people and all their fellow workers-, we hope with all our heart that their problems soon wiH be •dived.

School time Is nearing. Vacations are about Over. It’s time to think about getting Junior and his sister ready for school. Read the advertisements tn the Daily Democrat and shop in Decatur. Decatur merchants have a big new supply of fall and winter needs for the children and the prices are such that you can’t do better any place in the area. Trade in Decatur and your dollars will go farther. 0 ® We are amused at the story making the rounds the last several days. It is to the effect that' one of the top-guns at the City Hall has cautioned employes to cut short their coffee breaks, with a remark “Don't you know this is an election year?” We admire them for getting the employes into line, however, if certain employes have been taking these hour-long coffee breaks for a long time, on the people's time, shouldn’t the word have gone out long ago?—Not just 60 days before an election? 0 0 The Celina Daily Standard says editorially that the recent 84th congress “hung up some constructive accomplishments in the international field and here and there on domestic matters”, and adds regret that they failed to take important action on highway and school construction, two of the most imperative needs, and the Standard adds, “it’s a good thing for some of those lawmakers that they will get to go back once more before the 1956 election to prove that they know what they were sent to Washington for.” 0 o Members ot the Adams county _ delegation who attended the editorial meeting at French Lick over the week-end were enthusiastic about the address of Former President Harry Truman. They say he was straight forward and very sincere and every effort was to say and do what he believed would be best for the majority of people. When asked if he was candidate for another term in the of ice, he replied “I might run when I’m 90, after I get rested.” It was a very successful meeting.

ainunio The post-war housing shortage in Kennerly, Missouri, had induced the newly wed Lairds. Adam and Ann. to engage Ln a home building business there Adam, an experienced carpenter, had served with the Seabees during the war. Ann bad been a secretary at the local lumber mill So, bravely, these Lairds pooled their knowledge, formed a partnership of sorts and set forth to build homes for the people of Kennerly. But they made the mistake of ftrst of all building a home for themselves. CHAPTER TWO ANN had become accustomed to Adam's bringing people to see ner i house, to show them how he’d arranged things in her kitchen, or the built-in storage units. When he brought still another young couple, about to be married, and showed them around, she talked pleasantly to the girl, and then went on with some sewing which she nad in hand. o When the young folk were leaving, the prospective bride came to Ann and told her how much she liked her house! “It’s just perfect!” she declared. JI Ann smiled, and thanked her. But at the end of that same week, Adam, his Ups white because he was doing something ne hated to do, asked her what she'd say if be told her that he’d sold their house. She turned clear about to stare at him, unable to speak at all, unable to believe . . . Finally she said, “You didn’t, you couldn’t!” “Well,” said Adam, shifting miserably from one toot to the other, “it’s tn your name, too—and you don't have to sign the papers. But 1 hope you will, Ann. I’m sure you understand why I had to do this.” “I understand," she said, her voice thick and cold tn her throat, “that you never really meant this to be my house!" Her hands trembling, she turned back to the task which had been interrupted. Adam clapped his hat on bis head and stormed out of the house. Great dog! He didn’t want to hurt Ann. Didn’t she think tt hurt him, too? He’d known that she felt deeply about their home —but she was grown up, she should understand that he was trying to save their very future, their marriage. Bankruptcy stared him In the face! And any wife . . . He hadn’t dreamed that she’d . really object. She kept the books. Didn't she know the deep hole he was in? Didn’t she? The next day Anu went quietly with him to the lawyer’s office, and signed the papers. Then she wept, apologized and found she could I not stop weeping. Cam rixht. 13M. by

keep her hat on when attending a card party? A. She, of course, always removes her hat if the party is in a private home. If, however, the card party is in a public place, she may either remove it or keep it on. Q. Is it always obligatory that a person give the reason for declining an invitation? A. While not exactly obligatory, it somehow takes the sharpness out of a refusal to give some explanation. And if one gives no reason, future inviitations might not be extended. 0— -— v Household Scrapbook | BY ROBERTA LEE ft * Candles If a candle that is too large for the candlestick is held in hot water it can easily be pressed to fit the candlestick.

~me me—name,’ sne said , blindly. “I’ll build you another house,” ! Adam promised. She dabbed at her eyes and sniffed. - : In the next two weeks, he repeated that promise a dozen times. Finally, she told him to shut up. That was not like his gentle Ann. "Tve been hurt," she told him. "A girl has a right to cry when she's hurt!” “Yes,” he agreed. “You’ve every right to cry. I know you loved the house —almost as if it were a child—" Ann threw him a look. “I don’t have a child, either. I don’t have anything!” she wailed. “Oh, for Pete’s sake!" be cried. It wasn't his fault they hadn’t yet been able to afford a child. He wanted children, and when the time came, they’d have them. But, for now— He sat down and held his hand out to Ann. "Look, honey. Let me explain about the house. 1 thought you knew how thin I'd cut things. I had to have some cash, Punkin. 1 had to—” I Words didn’t come easily to Adam. He wanted to explain that : one could always build another house, but to go into bankruptcy s would have finisned him as a contractor. And —and—well —it was ; their whole future —their security > —he’d thought she would under- . their first quarrel. Dnly, it ran > too deep to be cleared up quickly; . and they neglected to heal the hurt [ with kisses. Instead, there developed a cold ■ state of strain between them, and a skittering away from the issue. i Adam began to stay away from the house quite a bit—excusing : himself by the knowledge that he was terribly busy. Ann found an i apartment for them: it was small : —three rooms and one closet —but ; it would answer their basic needs. The new bride and groom were ready to buy some of their furniture. The move was made, and life went on—that is, they ate and slept in the new place. Ann answered the telephone, kept Adam’s books. But there was a difference, too. She had no enthusiasm for her "home” nor for his work; she asked no interested questions, made no effort personally to contribute ideas. She took phone messages, automatically wrote them down. If Adam failed to look at the pad beside the phone, if he failed in various ways to do what he should do, ’ Elizabeth Seilert. Distributed tar King

A guide to farmers interested in buying seed wheat, the directory can be obtained from the county extension office. Seed certification officials say the director will aid farmers in finding seed wheat with a low smut percentage. Fields listed fn the directory with lees than .5 percent of loose Fields for which certification was Up to 1 percent of loose smut is permitted in the certified class. Finelds for which certification was applied but which carried too much loose smut are listed in the directory but without classification. About 45 percent of the fields in central and northern Indiana, for which certification was applied were found to have more than 1 percent loose smut. Sources of the new Knox wheat variety as well as other excellent varieties of soft wheat such as Vigo, Senec, Saline, Butler and Fairfield are listed in the directory. Growers of Debois winter oats.

or had promised to do, Ann no longer went to great lengths to apologize, to cover up, to restore him to the good graces of the offended and indignant client. “Why didn't you explain to the Goodings that I couldn’t bring tile setters here fcr a job that will take only an hour or two? I have to wait on the Flander job and do them both at once.” “When you agreed to remodel i the Gooding fireplace, did you tel) her that she would be torn up all summer?” “What’s got into you, Ann? You know I hoped to do that job when 1 worked on the Martin kitchen—but they changed their minds about using glass tile, so— You used to coax this sort of person along tot me." "1 know I did." “That Gooding job will amount to my commission on a thousand debars, it’s worth doing—and not worth losing." Ann took a deep breath as if ready to say something, then she thought better of it, and picked up the book which she had been reading. Adam rubbed his big bony hands together. “AU right, say it!” he demanded. She sat thoughtful for a minute. Then— ’TU say it,” she agreed. “I’ll say that I will do your work, i Adam. Your book work, correspondence and so on. But—“ Her smooth brown head began to swing from side to side. “I won’t do your dirty work. 1 don’t like to, 1 don’t want to and I won’t. Besides, 1 am too busy for all that 1 that sort of thing involves.” I Adam squinted his eyes as if to see her in better perspective. i “Busy at what?” he asked. - “Don’t you think,” she asked > coolly, not looking up, “that a wife i has a right to some interests of I her own?”. “I’m not talking about Wives. , Tm talking about you! What in- * terests do you have?” Now she looked at him, and the protest in her face made him back i water. Fast. I "Well, 1 mean, of a kind that keeps you from being decent tc i my customers." • “I am decent to them, t don't need to spend an hour talking to women like Mrs. Gooding, listening to her tel) how awful her health is, and how wonderful hei children are.” “You didn’t used to mind doing that" “I don’t have time, now,” sh< said. ?
