er they approve the purchase of a 39,000 broom, when we need so many other things, by their vote next November 8. - o 0 A good vigorous political campaign is good for any community. It is the American way of life. If the candidates in the approaching municipal election avoid personalities and discuss issues, much good is bound to come from an election campaign. Let's all study the issues and be guided by them and not by little snips of nasty rumor and unproven gossip. We believe the issues of the campaign, at least the main issues, pertain to cost of local government, use of the peoples money, operation of our utilities, number of people on the city payroll, methods of making purchases by the utilities and other similar items of general interest to all the people. Let’s have a vigorous campaign but let’s keep it clean. 0 0 Decatur is a good town. It will continue to be a good town, because it has a vast majority of good people. Our city is growing. Estimated population is now around the 8,000 mark. For the last ten years there hasn’t been a handful of vacant homes at one time. Business buildings are snapped up as quickly as they are vacated. We have good Churches and incomparable schools, public and parochial. Problems, which are bound to arise in a growing community; are quickly solved. The merchants of Decatur are working constantly toward a better city. Decatur’s trading area is enlarging daily by the influx of shoppers from a distance of more than 30 miles. People never are footed very long. They trade where tfieir dollar buys the most. That’s why more and more shoppers come to Decatur every day. Decatur is a good town.

CHAPTER NINETEEN ADAM and Pinky strolled to the patio market. They entered a shop, small, white plastered. There was a single clerk, a thin young woman with heavy bracelets on one arm, and - Concha belt. There were racks of clothes. In her arrogant way, Pinky pulled things out, held them at arm’s length, put them back. Adam smiled apologetically at the clerk and asked to see a blue dress. “No, wait, Adam!” cried Pinky. “I want to see what else they have.” —The clerk fetched the blue dress from the window, but Pinky was still rummaging in the rack of Navajo adaptations. She draped a linen shirt over her shoulder, held a pleated red squaw skirt in place. “Take off my hat,” she ordered Adam. “Lily and the squaws don't seem compatible.” "Let me,” suggested the clerk. Adam saw her peek into the crown of the little pancake sailor, and nod. Pinky shook out her red hair, dropped the red skirt. The clerk had the blue dress ready. “Try it on." Without a tremor, Pinky shucked out of the suit jacket. Her white taffeta scarf was pinned to her bra —Adam stood in a corner and looked uncomfortable. The dress slipped down over Pinky’s shining head; she stepped free of the suit skirt, let the clerk zip her. The dress was perfect. “It’s hand-dyed,” said the woman. "That’s how we get such .a marvelous blue. We take musim, and dye it ourselves.” Pinky flipped at the tiers tiny ruffles around the low boc; e, in rows at her iiips, a froth of them at the hem of the skirt; she shook her hair back and free, cut her eye at Adam, pointedly ignoring the saleswoman who was holding a necklace .. . .... The dress was a hundred and ten dollars, and Adam paif for it in cash. “Send it to Mrs. Haggard at La J’onda,” said Pinky, out of the dress again, and again displayed in her nylon slip. "Oh, you’re—” began the clerk. Then she caught herself up short. “No,” she corrected, “you’re not!” Adam looked at her. The woman laughed, nervously. “I should have known," she chattered. “A tourist would say the La Fonda.” “Yes,” said Pinky coldly. She caught at Adam’s arm, and led him to the door, her hat carried in one hand. “Thank you, darling," she said warmly. They wont out into the street, and strolled toward the museum. “But ooooh," ahe purred. “What will Ann say?” "Same thing she said about the gas permit Nothing!” -c • • . During the winter Adam bought back his pick-up truck, for Hermann o use, he told Ann. He kept

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LIB I 0 o Q. What should a person do when with othoas and they are discus-' sing some subject about which you know nothing? A. Listen attentively. One may also ask an occasional question to show interest. Do not try to convince the others you are well informed, nor try to change the subject. Q. Should a dinner guest always push his chair back under the table when leaving it? A. Not unless space is limited, and his chair would impede the passage of other persona. Q. Is it permissible for the bride’s attendants also to wear white? A. While this is not customary, it is quite all right if the bride wishes.

it in a commercial garage, and that way always had a car when he needed or wanted one. Adart now had a dozen men working for him, and looked forward to the expiration of his con-, tract with the University of California. He could have had several house contracts. The log house he was building for Ann was widely noticed. Work on it went slowly now because he so often pulled his men away to do other jobs. And week ends were not enough, what with little dates with Pinky. Pinky still was Ann’s “girl friend,” still stayed often for dinner with the Lairds. Adam still took her home at bedtime, always returning immediately, but often having arranged some meeting with Pinky, meetings that were planned furtively and carried out in secrecy. March came, and spring touched the orchards in the sheltered valleys with blossoms, grass became green and huge flowers gold-dusted the forsythia. Melting snow in the mountains made sense out of the red-painted riprap at which Adam had laughed in the dry bed of the trickling river. He mentioned this to Ann and Pinky one evening. “Now you can’t hear yourself think over the i racket the river makes in some places." He rose from the table. “I have to meet a painter out at i the house — you’d better come along, Ann. Help decide on colors.” “They don’t have anything but blue paint in New Mexico,” said Ann. “It must be a law." "Turquoise, d irhng,” drawled Pinky. "Not blue." “Looks blue to me," said Ann. Adam stood at the door, waiting. “Go along," she told him. "I’d rather go to the movies.” She was wearing a gingham house dress; Pinky was in jeans and plaid shirt. Ann had become somewhat stubborn about wearing Western clothea Now she went into the bedroom and laid a new suit across the bed, and a white hat. There was something defiant about the way she did this. Pinky lifted an eyebrow at Adam. “I’ll ride as far as the hotel with Adam,” she called to Ann. “I don’t want to change.” "0.K.," said Ann indifferently. They did ride as far as the hotel, and farther —out to the house to meet the painter, to decide on colors, and afterwards to drive along the mountain rim road, to see the full moon hanging like a polished chrome disc before them, above the valleys etched in silver on black. Adam pulled to a lookout space, cut the motor, turned off the lights. Pinky sat, lips parted, eyes shining. “It’s spiritual," she whispered, leaning her head against his shoulder. Moonlight, and the clear cold air, flowed like .water down the mountain, pooled darkly shining in the valley, spread out like silver on the mesa. “Oh, Adam, doesn’t it hurt!" “Beautiful,'’ Adam agreed.

Homemakmg Tips •y Miss Bertha Landis Homa Demonstration Agent As tira school belts begin to ring, once again, we are reminded that this Is September — “Better Breakfast Month.” Breakfast means just what it says — to break a fast. It has been ten to twelve hours since you have eaten a meal. Thus you need food to start the new day right. Whether you are awake or asleep, your body Is working and using up energy. Tissues are being torn down and rebuilt. Unless you eat the food you need to furnish that energy, your own body tissues are burned instead. A good breakfast helps repair body losses that occur at night. It furnishes food energy needed for the morning activities. When you eat little or no breakfast, you become hungry during the morning. You may be fatigued and even cross and irritable. Then your work' suffers as does your health. Frequently your midmorning hunger is satisfied with a snack. Often snacks are made up of too little of the right food or even of the wrong food. Such snacks may spoil your appetite for the next meal. In addition to energy, foods are needed to develop strong muscles hard bones, and teeth and to keep the body functioning efficiently. Breakfast should supply its share of the protein, minerals and vitamins which the body needs every day for health protection and for growth. The meal can be simple, yet furnish all these essential nutrients. Breakfast should be planned ahead of time and as a part of the whole day’s meals. The foods selected should be easy to prepare and serve in the time allowed for the morning. It is time saving to set the table before retiring and to assembled foods and utensils needed for meal preparation. Often, some of the food may be prepared the night before. With planning, it is easy to begin the day right with a good breakfast. For new ideas on how you can add variety to your breakfasts, call your county extension office for pamphlet, "Better Breakfasts."

"Just ua up here,” she murmured, “and down there —the world.** Her head moved against his cheek. “All for us.” • Adam’s arnu held , her dose, oloseir. "Don’t talk!” she urged. "Justfeel, Adam! Just—" Adam was laughing when, at last, he leaned forward to switch on the ignition. “Still feeling spiritual, Pinky?” he drawled. She made a face at him. “No,” she said bluntly. • • • Pinky was always ready to do new things; one Saturday as she and Adam prepared to go to the house, he spoke of his recent discovery that Ernest Thomas Seton had lived near Santa Fe. “He’s a famous author, wrote all those books about wolves and other animals,” Adam explained. “Where is this castle?” asked Pinky when she and Adam started off. "Less than five miles out of town.” “On this road?" “I think so." They drove for ten miles on that road, and found no castle. Adam's informant had said the place was plainly marked, and not far from a zoo. He backed the station wagon, and turned it back toward the city. “Maybe it’s north.” “There are road maps,** suggested Pinky. “Wait a minute.” He pulled up beside an Indian who was plodding along the shoulder. The man wore a black suit, and an ancient black Stetson atop his head band. The Indian was ancient, too. “Do you know how to reach Seton Castle?” asked Adam. The Indian said nothing. “Do you speak English?" yelled Pinky. •I speak good.” “All right. Is this the road to Seton Castle?” Slowly the man’s arm lifted, his finger pointed to the sky. “Go that way,” he said somberly. Adam laughed and started the car. But when finally they did get on the right road, and drove into the estate—- “ Hey," he cried, “that Indian was right!" Seeming to float above the trees was the castle, yellow stone and adobe. Big windowed, it clung to the mountainside. **More trees than I knew were in all New Mexico,” murmured Piaky. Adam carefully drove along the winding road; to the left was a sign, Indian Village, but they’d see the castle first. There was the usual low-walled patio, with blue jars, chairs, a fireplace. The house was comfortable, the living room shabby and crowded with mementoes of the famous man and his work, framed drawings of his characters, wood carvings. Adam bought an autographed book from the author’s sister, and listened to her stories ' (To Be Continued)

To Buy Wheal, Corn For Needy Persons First Offer Made By Ag Department WASHINGTON (INS) — The agriculture department has made its first offer to buy wheat flour and cornmeal for relief feeding as provided for in new legislation passed by congress late in the summer. The: department asked suppliers to quote prices on 12,238,670 pounds of flour and 8,237,670 pounds of meal to be shipped not later, than Oct. 20 to points in 27 states. * When it was under consideration in congress, the legislation was described as having a twofold purpose — helping needy persons and families, especially those in hard-hit coal mining areas, and relieving some of the surplus in wheat and corn. Agriculture department officials opposed the measure in the beginning on the grounds that it would be difficult to administer and that it would have only a minor effect as far as the surplus situation is concerned. As now set up, the program will operate for the next two fiscal years or until June 3ff, 1957. The maximum expenditure is to be 15 million dollars a year, or a total of 30 millions. States where the’ program will start operating have specifically asked for this type of assistance. The 27 include Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky. West Virginia and Indiana (tentative). State and local public welfare agencies will determine the eligibility of persons or families to receive the flour and meal. Since the new law is primarily a relief measure, school lunch programs and institutions are not eligible to participate. Products to be purchased under the program will be shipped to state agencies for further distribution to the needy within the state. Some states have listed only one point of delivery; others have specified 20 or .piore towns or cities as receiving points. Os the wheat flour, the largest shipment to any one state—3.32o,000 pounds — goes to Pennsylvania, mostly to coal - mining communities. The smallest consignments are about 20,000 pounds each going to Wyoming and New Jersey. Kentucky, with 1.336.000 pounds, is the largest recipient of meal with Mississippi and Pennsylvania as runners up. Wyoming apd New Jersey again trail the list. The department plans to make use of the new program* in disaster rebel ieeding in areas such as

those recently hit by hurricanes as well as in those states where a continuing need exists. High School Band At Purdue Today The Decatur high school band will attend the Purdue vs College of the Pacific football gamd today at Lafayette. The drum majorettes will perform with the Purdue band and the band will participate in a half-time show with' 130 other high school bands consisting of approximately 6.000 students.
