It Won’t be long now until the January clearance sales — that is if local merchants have anything to clear off their shelves. Patfenage has been heavy here this year, an evidence that it pays th shop in Decatur. 4) 0 All state and county highways are reported to be in good condition. There is an occasional patch of snow but with normal driving care, if everyone observes the traffic laws, there should be a minimum of the holiday week-end. 0 0I— Christmas is made more meaningful this year because it comes on Sunday. Decatur Churches are planning to take full advantage of this fact with appropriate Sunday morning Christmas services. Rural Church announcements appear in today’s Daily Democrat and the Decatur Church Sunday programs will be published in Saturday’s issue. ~ 0 0 We have reached that season of the year, which is so enjoyable tor young and old alike. Christmas Is full of meaning and tradition. It is a celebration of the birth of Christ, the founder of our religion; of our way of life. It is a time to forget our troubles and our sorrows. And so we take this means of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. ——« —o Roger W. Babson who pointed out that the 1929 depression was sure to come and almost fixed the date is now greatly concerned over the uptrend in city and town taxes.

And he’s a wise old man. 0 4> h— Two Republican senators are objecting to the EisenhowerDulles proposal to loan or give five billion dollars during the next year for foreign aid. Others, both Republicans and Democrats are complaining about this nation being so liberal in handing out money and increasing our own debt which has already mounted to dangerous peaks. -—0 -‘ Eddie Rickenbacher who established fame by his ace performances in World War I, who was in an airplane crash near Atlanta in 1941 and then survived his raft trip in the Pacific and has since been termed the indestrutible . man has just signed a new contract as manager of the airline he is with. He is 65 years old and' could retire but he is putting that off until he gets older. 0 0 Some one has figured the wheat surplus and discovered that if people in this 1955 period ate as much bread and other wheat products as we did in 1909 we would consume 375 million bushels of wheat. This would reduce the over supply and make it possible to take care of the problem to the satisfaction of the farmers and all others. 0 0 Be sure and plan to drive the kiddies around Decatur’s residential districts some night between now and New Years. Almost every home is decorated for the holiday season and many out; side colored lights are erected at many residences. The General Electric plant as usual is alt dressed up for the occasion. The entire city is a beautiful sight at night.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO DOC STOPPED beaming when Lois remarked that a heart specialist had given Roger a clean bill of health: he watched her steadily. He knows Roger's heart was sound but he won’t tell me the truth, she thought. He can’t afford to; he's the infallible old Doc. He'll never admit he made a mistake. And it's more than a mistake. If 1 could smell gas ten days after Roger died—- “ The best specialists can be wrong,” he said. “There have been a lot of cases. They tell a man he's all right and he walks out of tne consulting room and falls dead on the street.” He added casually, "1 didn’t know Roger had seen Jane since the divorce.” “They ran across each other by accident in New York. Mrs. Brindle thought," Lois added, “he looked depressed.” Doc rubbed his hand over his chin. “Too bad,” he said sadly, "for her to come back and stir things up, Dog-in-the-manger stuff, as though Roger couldn’t be happy with anyone but her. He was the least depressed man I ever knew.” He looked ostentatiously at his watch. “Well, Mrs. Fleming, I’m mighty glad you dropped jin. I'll try to think up some stories about 1 Roger for those articles." He scraped back his chair. “He wrote about me to the point," he said heartily, “where so many people knew me by name that it might make the stories better to say I told 'em.” “Oh, of course,” Lois agreed. With this approach she was completely at home. He took her hand in his and patted it. The beam was working once more. “Don’t let anyone give you any—funny ideas affout Roger. We want those articles to be the kind he’d be proud of, don’t we? Sure?” He patted her hand again and Lois wondered wildly if he would offer her a lollypop. "And the kind Carol can sign with a clear conscience. Sure we do. There’s always a lot of gossip about a man as famous as Roger. But you know, that yourself. You’ve come across the troublemakers before. You’ll hear things about why he kept the Hatterys around. But don’t you pay any attention. Ethel was a fine secretary and he was mighty nice to her husband, con-

Conference Is Held Over Farm Prices Conference Held By Senator Capehart thing ought to be done about ' sliding farm products prices, according to speakers at a conference held by Republican Senator Homor E. Capehart Thursday. But the agricultural doctors differed on what to do about the Wilflam Cook, president of a bank at Boswell, was perhaps the most pessimistic speaker. He said the federal government shbuld declare ,an emergency, fix price floors under all farm products and curtail production on the basis of pounds and bushels, not on the dollar value of the agricultural output. Republican congressman Charles A. Halleck, of Rensselaer, also was a seriously spoken orator. He proposed that the federal government buy many farms outright with government bonds .and pet- ' mit the farm owner to remain on 1 the fallow land. Disposal of the $7 billion crops surplus is the big problem, according to the conferees, and Sen- ' ator Capehart said action must come soon. Possible spoilage was 1 mentioned as a danger. Gifts of the surplus to foreign ' nations and even dumping it in ' the ocean were suggested. A bad 1 public reaction, however, was cited as a block to the latter proposal. A popular remedy was the “Soil bank” method of retiring acres from production. Capehart said: “I want a plan or plans that will boost farm prices 20 percent in six months and get rid of existing farm surpluses.” Capehart proposed a commission that would take control of surpluses and remove them from competition with the free market. He also favored the soil bank plan to take certain lands out of production and plant them with soil-building grasses or legumes. i The federal government would compensate farmers for diverting their acreage. Lowell Hardin, act’ing hea& of the Purdue University department of agricultural economics, said: “With an election year coming , up, the government is going to pump perhaps a billion dollars into agriculture. Let’s be sure that ' immediate steps do not injure farming in the long run.” ! George Doup, vice-president of the Indiana Farm Bureau, said: ’ “We are against the require- ’ meat that American ships must carry certain amounts of surplus abroad. We are going to fight that bottleneck which hinders disposal of surplus goods abroad.”

sidering what Joe is. You want to be cautious about listening to anything Joe has to say. Criminal, you know.” He shook his head. “But that was Roger. Too kind for his own good.” He led her to the outer door. “Helen and I want you to come to supper some night. She'll call you. ’Bye now.” Well, Lois thought as she walked away from the house, conscious that Doc, in full view of the green, was beaming after her retreating figure, well, that’s that. The man is lying his head off. Roger Brindle was killed and 1 can’t pretend it isn’t so. But what should I do? If 1 go to the police they'll laugh at me. Dr. Thomas is well known; tney’li take his word. It would be easy to accept that, to tell myself I can’t do anything on my own and anyhovfc it doesn’t concern me. Only, wie admitted, you can’t live like that. This was going to be unpleasant but she had to go ahead. What now? She saw a clock on the town hall. Two-thirty. Across the street was a chain grocery store with a succession ot vehicles turning in to its spacious parking lot at the back: shining station wagons, Cadillacs, a Model T Ford. A few farmers walked down the street and women in housedresses, women in slacks, women in blue jeane, women in shorts. The fewer ciothes, the surer one was that they were New Yorkers. The natives kept their clothes on. There was a gift shop, which also had a lending library and sold bus tickets; a post office, an ivycolored red-brick house that had been turned into a library. Lois turned abruptly and went up the steps. The library was cooler than the street and quiet, the silence broken only by the gasping whir of an electric fan that needed oiL On either side of the entrance were rooms lined with books so badly lighted that it was difficult to decipher the titles. At a center table in the room to the left sat an elderly woman. Lois went up to the table and the woman looked up at her. „ “I am Lois Fleming. Mr. Kibbee was telling me about you this mbrning. He said you’d been his teacher when he was a boy.” The librarian smiled. “His and Roger Brindle's. They were in the

Highway Equipment Bought By County The Adams county board of commissioners wound up their 1955 business today in a special meeting. Antwerp Sales Co. of Antwerp, 0., was successful bidder of some used highway equipment* which the beard purchased. The equipment, including a used tractor and back hoe, was purchased from the Ohio concern tor-lIM 135 and the commissioners author- , ieed the payment from the 1956 highway equipment funds. The board will meet January.. 2. 1958 for the purpose of taking the annual inventory at the county home and making the 1956 appointments. A regular session is then scheduled for January 3. No White Christmas Likely In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The weather man today sounded the death knell for a White Christmas. The five-day forecast of the Indianapolis weather bureau made no mention of snow during the Yuletide week-end. Only light rains were predicted for Saturday and Saturday night and again about Tuesday. * HOSPITAL MANAGER <°° ntlnu ed From Page One) board of trustees, these claims are presented to the county auditdr, who draws all warrants for payment from the hospital’s operating balance. Each year, In August the board of trustees prepare a budget for the following calendar year iff which they estimate the amount of funds they believe wll be necessary to operate the hospital. At the same time they submit an estimate of the amount of cash that will be received for the care of patients for the following year. The budget and estimated income are then submitted to the county council for approval at their annual meeting in September. If, during the following year, these estimates prove to be Inadequate or emergencies arise, the trustees may request additional appropriations from the county council, the money to be drawn from the hospitals operating balance, not from other county funds. The , county council then may approve or deny these requests. The budget for 1955, approved by the county council was fixed at 3223.920. In May 1955 the hospital trustees requested and were granted an additional appropriation in the amount of 32,268.70, for construction and additional parking facilities, a power lawn mower and reading of X-ray pictures.

same class. Remember it as if it were yesterday. Better than if it were yesterday. Albert always was a little runt and he was pint-sized then; and Roger just towered over the class. But Albert was the brains, he was the smart one. In away, that is. He’d have been smarter, of course, to see Roger wasn't real.” Lois snapped to attention. This woman had seen the intangible quality which Jane Brindle had mentioned. The librarian observed Lois’ expression and her own was shrewd. “David and Goliath,” she said unexpectedly., “Yop're no fool. Nice type. You can get people talking but you’re not taken in. That’s the thing. Not to be taken in. You’ve got to watch that when people start telling you about Roger. He had this town hypnotized; of course, he was the only celebrity who’d settled here since 1803 so people made a lot of him. “There are some who’ll tell you what a good friend Roger was, just so you’ll know they knew him. People who like to touch the fringes of a famous person as though some of the fame would rub off on them. But the ones to look out for, if you want the truth,’ are those who really believed in him. Take Albert Kibbee, for instance." She shook her head. “Roger wasn’t a man to Albert, he was a cult Bessie Kibbee had no reason to love Roger, even if he did. support them. Always in second place. Not like Carol, who has to be first, regardless. And as for Clyde—of all the neglected children! If he resented Roger I’m the one who would never blame him, especially as I hear that he’s fallen for Carol's little niece and —’’ She stopped to tell a schoolboy where he would find books cm aeronautics and turned back to Lois as though there had been no interruption. “But then I sized Roger up a long time ago. I can remember as if it were yesterday when his mother died; got thrown off a horse when she was riding with another man. Her husband, who was a poor stick anyhow, shot himself. So the boy was left an orphan with some strait-laced relatives. What was their name now? I had it right on the tip of my tongue.” - ■■ (To Be,Continued}
