And remember, if your tax bill is too high, you have yourself to blame, because every taxpayer in the county has three opportunities to appear and be heard before the final rate is set.

Vincennes, Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana subject to the decision of delegates at the state convention next spring v has been visiting in northern Indiana the last few days.

Welch has many friends in northern Indiana including Adams county. He is a war veteran and former southern district federal prosecutor. Present indications are that Welch will be a hard man to stop by convention time.

All supporting petitions for hospital improvefnent bonds will be turned over to the board of trustees of Adams county Memorial hospital Monday. Signers ams county freeholders. After fllalready total more than 4,000 Ading the proposal with county officials, there will be a waiting period. During this period those opposed can file a remonstrance, which has force only if there are more freeholders’ signatures than on the original petition. So far there Is only scattered opposition and this opposition is perhaps because the program has not been thoroughly explained. It appears as if Adams county soon would get the much needed hospital improvements. : On Tuesday, February 14, voters of Jefferson township will go to the polls in a special election to determine if they desire to abandon their township school system in favor of a Joint system with Wabash township, with the schools consolidated at Geneva. Generally speaking, school mergers bring about better school systems, with better facilities for the pupils. Consolidations are not tax reducers; usually they require building programs and the cost of these programs are assessed against all property owners of the townships involved. From conversations with several residents of Jefferson township, we are inclined to believe that the people of that township are weighing every angle of the problem and will vote on February 14 exactly as their consciences dictate.

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO IN TIME, Albert came to the conclusion, that, in himself, he could not accomplish his purpose of leading men to perfection. But there was Roger; Roger whose personality attracted where his repelled: who warmed where he chilled; who, less intelligent than Albert, had always been far more influenced by him than he realized. So Roger became the instrument through whom Albert worked. And Roger, warped by childhood loneliness and emotional insecurity, had tried to be the man Albert expected him to be. “1 was incredibly blind," Jane said. “It was years before I realized fully what was happening to Roger and by then I could not do anything. If 1 had tried to make him see that he had become unreal, a puppet of Albert's, I'd have only destroyed him. Because he had to be believed in and I couldn't believe in him any more. I tried and tried but, because we loved each other so much, he knew. And at last the only way I could help him was to get out of hts life.” That, Jane added grimly, had been Albert’s biggest triumph, for now Roger was his to develop as he chose. “That’s why Albert refused to see me when 1 came back. He was afraid because we had always been wary of each other, in A way." -- y-': ■ “David and Goliath,” Lais said suddenly. “How did it happen, Jane?” “Clyde came home and Albert saw the resemblance and knew he was Roger's son. Knew that Roger had tinned ano deceived him. Knew that the image he had molded with his own hands to worship was not perfect. And Albert never learned to tolerate imperfection. Just as he had abandoned his churches, so he destroyed the flawed unage. , ■■ “In away, Paula precipitated all this. Albert went to see Roger one night and through the window he got a fine view of Paula in the cottage. Evidently the little fool was making quite a nuisance of herself. Albert was profoundly shocked. His idol was making love to his wife’s niece. Immorality. Sin. He went for Shandy’s revolver

and shot through the window. A ; kind of a symbol of a thunderbolt I from Heaven. A divine warning. 1 But that act of violence, what he : regarded as a kind of divine authority, released something in him. Two nights later he went to talk to Roger, to reason with him, and found him drunk. Another sin. And that is when he smashed the image. He turned on the gas and when he knew Roger was dead he collapsed. "Bessie put him to bed and took away his clothes. But by that time Albert was re-creating Ids Roger again. A Roger who could never fall shot of his dreams. It seemed to him quite natural for Doc and Carol to conceal the—execution, I suppose it appeared to him. Nothing must diminish Roger's reputation. And then you came unexpectedly, before the cottage had been touched. You wondered. And Albert was wild because Bessie kept him hors de combat. So he locked his door to keep her from discovering he wasn’t there and he went prowling at night, wearing that black velvet housecoat to hide his light pajamas. It wasn’t until Doc , said Roger had kilted hlmSelf that Bessie guessed the truth. Until then she had believed in the heart attack. At first she was afraid 1 Clyde had killed Roger out of jeate > ousy. Then at the last she saw, as 1 Clyde saw, and they both tried to nrotect him " “But why Shoot Dr. Thomas?” I. “Because Roger’s wife must be , faithful to his memory.” “And why—me?’’ Lois asked. "Because you wouldn’t let go. i You were determined to find out • the truth. And you have a kind 6t . awareness about people. Sooner or later you would know. As you did i know." Lois nodded. "But I didn’t be- . lieve it, if that makes settee. What i will they do to him?” J : “I don’t know. There’s not, much concrete evidence. No fingerprints I on the gun or on the gas jet; Only i a torn scrap of black velvet chught i on the gate and the housecoat A>- ' bert was wearing with the tear in I it. That's not actually much erf a ' case. Because Doc won't talk about Roger's death: he’U never change i his evidence. He won’t accuse bert k>f shooting him. In the first place, have to tall why. Ad*

Grasshoppers Are Now On Warpath Researchers Warn Os Summer Attack WASHINGTON (INS) — Grasshoppers are now on the warpath. Agrciulture department- researchers warn they'll attack next summer. • ? r ’ The attack centers in the southern great plains but involves much cropland in the midwest and considerable rangeland throughout the west The February issue of agricultural research warns that the red flag is up on 20 million acres of private, state, and U.S. rangeland and a substantial cropland acreage in about « doaen states. The department said that grasshopper areas will be surveyed again this spring when final plans for the 1956 control work will be mapped. Agriculture research service pest-control leader H. L. Smith and his associates are Working with state, local and farm organization officials bn the problem. They are helping to organise farmers in a grasshopper • poisoning program which is gradually gaining support in many parts of the country. Two ounces of aldrin in a gallon of oil normally kills 97 to 98 per cent of the grasshoppers on an acre — benefits the range for three to fonr years. The department ®gyr tw aldrin is usually sprayed by airplane when there are the most adults and before egg-laying starts. This is from mid-June to mld-Septem-ber. Control costs about 60 cents per acre afid ranchers generally consider their 20-cent share a good investment —a nickel per acre per year of good grazing they can expect

anyhow he didn’t actually see Al* bert with the gun in Ma hand. No one did. Albert stood in the dark hallway in that black velvet robe. He w practically invisible.“ -But where did he get the gun?" -He buried it on the terrace , after shooting through the window. Paula found it and left It in the house. Bessie took it to her cottage to keep anyone else from beingl hurt. There Albert found it again. > ■» “Poor Bessie! They won't let her see Albert, you know. She tried to smother him to save him from a trial and they are afraid she’ll tad away out for him yet. She sacrificed her son to him and now rtje has lost them both.

As she looked around the cluttered room she grimaced. “Os all the demoralizing experiences, moving is the worst” -Where are you and Shandy going to live?" “Carol is selling the house back to Shandy for an outrageous price, going to greener pastures, and We’D live there when we get back from South America."

The telephone rang and Lois answered tt eagerly, hoping it would be Shandy. Over the telephone Mignonne said firmly, "Lois, about that new assignment Ml"* ray Gilbert, the book collector, wants you to do a story on his collection.

7 ■ -j—-q 0 9 County Agent's Column o — -• Bulk Handling Bulk handling of milk is on the increase throughout the country, and is becoming more widespread in Indiana. Rollin Dudson and Lester Arnold, Purdue University agricultural economists, say the question now seems to be when, not whether, to go bulkMost of the savings in bulk handling are from reduced receiving and hauling costs. Unless farmers too can get some of these savings In the form of lower hauling rates or premium* they can’t- be> expected to get too enthusiastic about investing several hundred dollars .to change over to a bulk handling system, the Purdue economists report. Few haulers or plants know in advance just what toe difference in costs will be In most cases, total costs of receiving milk will increase until the plant is receiving only bulk milk. Hauling costs of can milk will also Increase as producers become more scattered. Present bulk markets grant producers savings ranging from 5 cents to 40 cents per hundred weight, with most plants tn the 20 cent to 25 cent range. The economists point out that in some cases there is a labor saving, but this usually reuslts from the pipeline milking system and not bulk handling as such- Butterfat tests may rise with bulk handling, due to the elimination of toe "stickage" of cream to can tsides as cans are dumped. Total on-the-farm savings may average 5 cents to 10 cents per hundred weightWhat will be the long-run effect? Statistics show that the small dairyman is becoming a thing of the past. From 1949 to 1964 the number of farmers selling whole milk in Indiana dropped from 60,000 and 50,000 and in the same period the average sales per farm increased from 36,000 to 54,000 pounds. Dunsdon and Arnold think that bulk handling will accelerate this treat. ~ ■.

New Pressure Being Brought On Benson Livestock Price Supports WASHINGTON (INS) New pressure is being exerted on agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson to reject demands for price supports .on hogs and beef cattle. American Fann Bureau Federation presidents from 11 western states have'telegraphed Benson that “5 per cent of our.producers

and feeders are unalterably opposed to the principle of direct price supports on livestock.” The telegram followed up a similar wire sent to Benson by midwest region Farm Bureau presidents earlier this week. The midwest farm bureau presidents said it appears the sudden clamor for price supports is politically inspired. They added: “Direct price supports on livestock would result In Irreparable damage to the livestock industry. Such price supports would encourage a further increase in the current record production of meat and would bring tea halt the industry-wide efforts to improve production and consumption of high quality meat ...” Total farm bureau membership in the 11 states is 132,499 families.
