■lt was an Interesting county ■basketball tourney and most of ■the games were thrillers. The ■Eagles proved that they still had ■the “know how” which brought ■them the championship a year lago. They saved enough power for ■the last game and came home ■with energy to spare. While six■foot seven inch Norb Witte is ■admittedly an asset to the Eagles ■the fest of the team shared in ■the honors and proved conclusively that the entire squad was well ■coached and well mannered. ■Capacity crowds greeted the play. Bars at each session and indicaItlons are that the sectional ■tourney which will include the ■ ume teams plus Decatur high ■school Yellow Jackets will be an■other thriller, with every other ■team in the county “gunning” for ■the Champs. g o—o— —.... ■ The new city Administration ■headed by Robert D. Cole, Mayor, ■has been busy studying the vacuous needs of the people. Mayor ■Cole and his Councilmanic com■mittees are acquainting them■selves with the various depart■ments which make up the city. ■The Councilmen and their Chief ■have adopted a policy o's progress, ■with a view toward economy in ■government. Many problems are ■unsolved, but we are sure that leach will be tackled with the ■spirit of doing what is best for ■the greatest number of our citi■zens. Decatur is hobbling along ■with an old and outmoded power ■generating system, plus the diesel ■plant, which never was built to ■carry a heavy steady load. The ■power problem and the water ■problem are high on the agenda ■of businesa to . be, done; of probitems to be solved. Other smaller ■problems but just as close to the ■items as more than twice a year ■collection of trash and rubbish; ■soft water every day of the year; gsafety on the streets: a city dump without smoke and odor and num■erous others which we know the ■committees of the council are ■busy on right now. All in all, the ■ Administration has gotten off to ■an excellent start and we have ■every reason to believe that it ■ will continue that way for the ■ next tour years.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR ALBERT KIBBEE was Silent for a long time after Lois told him Roger had been killed, but it was the silence ot an act iv e mind, AMBfcstg tn ter.i2.yt“Fa ; lit :G Roger,” he said at last, speaking tentatively, as though testing the words, the idea. “Killed him." After a pause he said, “Wanted him dead,” and listened to the words. ; "That’s-not possible, Mrs. Fleming.” He sounded reassured, convinced of the preposterous nature ot the idea. "Simply not possible.” He looked at her with his clear direct gaze, saw her expression and his eyes clouded. “Don’t you see,” he said persuasively, "no one disliked Roger, He was — he was—it you r-Affid only have known him.” "But spmeone disliked him very much,”- Lois insisted. "And 1 can’t just stand back. You must see that.” "Yes," he said gently. "I see that Gas, you say. And Carol Knows?” He was silent tor a long time. “Not Carol," ne said at length. “Not Carol. Mrs. Fleming. She doesn't have very deep emotions and as tong as she was sure of her comforts —and she would ai-wr-’s have been sure with Roger—she would never nave done that. Never. Ahyhow, she appreciated nun. She helped nun to realiz# what ne was. Not like Jane. Or Paula Case. Paula is very different from her aunt. She's no good. She pursued Roger in the most shameless —” ms voice shook. “There'S evil m her. See the way Clyde follows her like a dog. Why can’t,he let her alone.?" “They are both young," Lois pointed out “And your son is a lonely boy.' Such a terribly lonely boy;”' Albert’s eyes were as blue as a midsummer day. "Like father — like son. 1 am afraid 1 have been unforgivably slow ui seeing Clyde as he really is." He was looking at some inner vision of his own. “Mrs. Fleming,” he said urgently, “it's important that Clyde should not grow bitter and resentful. 1 hardly know —what he is capable of.” His voice rose higher. “Find turn -for me, Mrs. Fleming. I want to see him.” i looked up quickly as Lois came out of the bedroom. “He wants me to find Clyde," Lois told her in a low tone. "He wants to see him at once.” ' - J An expression ot almost incredulous hope dawned on Bessie’s face. Then it faded. “Clyde’s such a good boy," she said. "So gentle." Automatically she dropped the darning egg into the heel of a sock, her hands shaking. “He went into the woods, up where you found Paula. Just because she went there the place is important, all of a sudden.” Impulsively Lois put a hand on

your friend firmly, release it quickly. Don’t pump it! Look into the eyes of the person with whom you are shaking hands. Make him feel your friendship. Q. When a man is accompanying his wife and another woman to social function, which woman does he assist first with her wraps? A. He hould assist the woman guest first. Q When celery, pickles or olives are passed at the dinner table, where should the guest place them? —— A. On his bread-and-butter plate. Court Kiiws Damages Awarded The complaint for damages filed by Pamela Balslger, by her next friend Herman Balslger. against David E. Leonard has been submitted in a friendly suit and the court has awarded S3OO damages to the plaintiff. Costs of the action have been assessed against the

the plunjp shoulder. "Don’t worry. Til find him knd send him home." '1 don’t know if f“want you to,” Bessie said and bent over her darning, her chin quivering. As Lois climbed laboriously up the path through the woods, Clyde came to meet her. It occurred to her that she had not worked out a plan of campaign. She was unprepared, and yet something must be done at once. Because Shandy's gun was missing. She sat down on a fallen log and at her gesture of invitation Clyde sat ou the ground beside her, clasping his knees In his big bony hands. Nature was really unfair, Lois thought, endowing Roger with so much charm and Clyde with none at all, when otherwise they were not unlike physically. “1 came to find you,” she said at length. “Your father wants to see you. I think it has occurred to him rather belatedly that he hardly knows you.” “Now that Roger's gone," Clyde said grimly. — “Don’t hate him so!" Lois did not know that she was going to say the .words until they had been spoken. / y Clyde looked up at her, a mirthless smile touching his big mouth. "Even dead 1 mustn’t hate him. And. ne took everything 1 had: my father, my mother, my home,- my girl—though 1 never had her really.” He shifted his position so that his lace was hidden. "Summers and vacations when other kids could go home I’d stay at school 1 couldn’t go home because it was Roger Brindle’s home and there was no place for little boys. He might be disturbed. 1 used to lie awake nights planning what I would do to him when 1 was big enough. Do you know how many ways there are of killing? It’s really a fascinating subject. I thought of dozens. 1 pictured doing each one ot them—in detail. Os course, after 1 got In the army I discovered a lot I’d never, thought of.” He could keep his voice light but he could not keep it steady. Listening to the thin voice of hate, Lois was appalled. “And now I’ve come back mother is ashamed of me. She keeps me out ot sight. And Dad hates me because 1 am alive and = is deaa." ” ' ’ ” ‘ "Clyde," Lois said abruptly, “do you know how Roger Brindle diedr* “Thinking noble thoughts,” Clyde said with a sneer. "He was drunk when he died,” she told him. “Drunk because it was the only way he could escape from his constant failure to achieve the perfection of other people forced on him. So drunk that he could not have turned on that gas fireplace. He died because someone wanted him to die.” He did not move. She heard one sharply ' drawn breath. Nothing more. 1

defendant. Motion Filed A motion to make the complaint more specific has been filed in the suit for damages of Virgil L. Hawkins against John J!. Bauman. Rayle Estate The Peoples Trust and Savings company as trustee of the Claude C. Rayl estate has filed the first current report. The report, which shows an inventory of $47,547.34, diebursements of $4,309.08 and cash amounting to $22,674.97, has been examined and approved. Firemen Called As Motor Overheats Firemen were called at 4:15 a- m today to Bud’s Place, a Second street tavern, where an electric motor had become overheated. The ohly damage was to the motor- The tavern is owned by Bud McGill and is located in the same building as the Fortney shoe shop. The Bpstairs apartments of the building were damaged last month by fire.

“Drunk,” he said at last tn a tone erf disbelief. The fact of Roger’s being drurfk” seethed more incredible than the fact of his being murdered. He began to laugh. "Galahad high! Santa Claus tipsy! Bayard's face on the barroom floor. O, how marvelous!” He rocked with his wild laughter. "Does Paula know her plumed knight had a load on?” Lois gripped his shoulder. “Clyde," she snapped, "stop acting like a jealous fool and lister, to me. 1 said that be was murdered! Do you understand?" The eyes that were toe small for his big face, the eyes that were so like Bessie’s, met hers without wavering. “Murdered," he repeated. As he said IL it was a word like any other. "So what?” The attempt at flippancy failed miserably. ”** "We can’t let it go,” Lois said distinctly. "Not murder.” “But Dr. Thomas couldn’t; possibly have made a mistake like that.” “He didn't make a mistake. He knows Roger was killed.” “But Doc wouldn’t take a chance on covering up for anyone,’* Clyde protested. He added slowly, “Except Mrs. Brindle, ‘perhaps. Or himself, of course.” ”1 wonder it you know that Paula ran away because she wag afraid. Someone shot through the window two nights before Roger died, when Paula went to see him in his cottage. There was no harm done. You’ve got to believe that; a young girl's infatuation for an older man who never encouraged her, who refused to take her seriously. She told me that herself. It’s true. But someone wanted him to die for that” Clyde’s face tightened. His eyes were on his clasped hands. He did not raise them. “Clyde," Lois said urgently, "we can’t let It go on, you know. Because the gun has disappeared.” Still he did not move but, behind his closed face, his thoughts were pacing. And quite suddenly he was afraid. She knew when the fear hit him. He swung up to his feet, towering over her. "Mrs. Fleming, if you are worried about Paula. I promise you that nothing will happen to her. She's quite all right. But, drop this" how." “His voice was so quiet that there was an interval before she realized that it was also tkreatexUnff. She turned and went back down the path, aware that he was watching her. She controlled the impulse to run. And there was no place for her to go. She had to get out of the woods and away from Clyde Kibbee. She could not return to her cottage because ot the man and woman whom she had left there. Where then? Jane, she thought. It’s time Jane Brindle and I have this thing out. 1 . fZo Be ConluiucdJ

World Has Record Abundance Os Crops World’s Production largest In History WASHINGTON (INS) — An agriculture department study released today declares that the world has never before enjoyed as great an abundance of agricultural products as it does now. The study, made by the foreign agricultural service of the department shows that the 1965-1956 world index of agricultural production, including crops and livestock, is 119 per cent of the 193639 prewar years. Thia compares with 117 per cent in 1954-1955. The study, entitled “World Agricultural Situation. 1956,” declares that thp over-all agricultural production in every major world area in 1955-56 is exceeding 1954-55, and "for the third consecutive year since prewar, world agricultural production is exceeding the rise in other world production.’* The report deals with supplies of food and other farm products available for consumption until the 1956-57 harvests. It is not an inventory of supplies available aa of Jan. 1, but summarizes supplies of crops already produced or still to be obtained in the early months of this calendar year, and livestock products produced in 1955. Highlights of the report include: U.S. exports of coarse grain this year (July, 1955-June, 19561 will be about as large as exports of wheat, and probably will* account for about half the coarse grains- entering world trade. Germany will import U.“ S. and Canadian apples and pears; the Philippines’ government has increased its tobacco duties by 30 per. cent; Guatemala's cigaret output is up nine per cent; Danish cigaret manufacturers have reduced use of U. S. burley. Egypt is expanding its wheat area; Italy is selling rice to Indonesia and increasing its sugar production; rice prices have declined in Japan, when supplies from a record harvest were assured; Swiss milk production in 1955 exceeds what it was in 1954. and Canada continues to export more of its butter. The report covers the supplysltuation both by region and commodity. and appraises production prospects for the years immediately ahead. Copies of the 88-page publication may be obtained from the foreign agricultural service, room 5922, U.S. department of agriculture, Washington 25, D.C.
