Predictions are tor some warmer weather and the garden and flower seed counters in the many Decatur stores wil be busy places the next few weeks. Some of the early birds already have their lawns started toward summer finery and before too many weeks the whole city will be budding with the spring flowers and shrubs. 0 0 .. Major league baseball will start in earnest three weeks from tomorrow. The long grind toward the World Series in the fall will cause many a headache for the managers and many a thrill for the spectators. It's a great summer pepper-upper and soon the radios from coast to coast will be blaring out the games, inning by inning. 0 0 Speed on the highway continues to be the big kiler. It’s hard to understand why automobile manufacturers continue to advertise speed, take-off and power in their products when most of the new vehicles have some mighty convincing safety features. As long as they make automobiles which will go 150 miles an hour, there'll be a few highway maniacs who will drive them that fast. 0 o Hundreds of Adams county children will visit the Public Library this* week to see the annual display of the famous egg tree. The tree, in all its splendor and with many new displays is ready for public viewing. Visiting the Library this pre-Easter week isn’t of course limited to children. Hundreds of adults also thrill at the display and watch each new exhibit with delight* 0 0 iiiim ii" liiiißMmwKaem muibbi^em mu »w -j Indiana University's baseball team will go south this week for a series of pre-conference baseball games. By a gentleman’s agreement, Indiana's star negro catcher will not play in Georgia or Florida. We think when an agreement like that is made, there aren’t any gentlemen involved in the deal. However, after this season Indiana will join Purdue, Butler and Notre Dame in refusing to schedule teams who draw the color line in any sports.

Fort Wayne’s Zollner Piston basketball team, Indiana's hope for a world championship, got right in the hot middle of the first round of playoffs at Fort Wayne yesterday. After losing the first two games of a best of five series to St. Louis’ amazing Hawks, the Pistons bounced back to win easily. The series now moves to St. Louis for a Tuesday night game. If' the Pistons win that game they will be back in the " driver's seat with the final game scheduled for Fort Wayne Thursday night 0 0 Christians throughout the world today begin to commemorate one of the most important weeks in . the history of Christianity, topped perhaps only by Christmas week. Various Decatur Churches will have special services almost every night this week all drawing toward the celebration of Easter day next Sunday. More than sev-enty-five percent of the people of Decatur will attend some Church service this week. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that percentage would continue throughout the year? ■—-r— ■ 0 0 It's about time for political leaders of both major parties to start thinking about state tickets other than Governor and U; S. Senator. Candidates for the various state offices usually are selected because of two reasons: ability and geographic location. Two years ago Severin Bchurger. able Decatur attorney was a Democratic candidate for Judge of the appellate chart Mr. Schurger made a most creditable showing and ran several thousand votes - ahead of the Democratic ticket. •& We have no idea whether he is .ambitious totry for another state post. We do know that he is far more capable than those usually elected to the various state posts and we do know that his ability, _ honesty and integrity cannot be questioned. It would be a big boost to Democracy in Indiana if Mr. Schurger and a half dozen other men of his type and caliber were nominated on the Democratic state ticket. We don’t know of a state post, including the two -• top ones that" the Decatur attorney could not fill with honor and dignity.

THE LAST SUPPER—When the day of the feast of the unleavened bread arrived, the disciples asked Jesus where they should prepare the Passover. He instructed Peter and John, “Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?” This accomplished, Jesus and the twelve disciples gathered to eat, but, as they did, Jesus warned, "Verily, I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.” Breaking bread, He said, “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.” Then He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ON MONDAY Lora walked up the hill to call on John Ambrose. They were sitting chatting comfortably, when a great knocking sounded at the door. John opened it to admit an excited, breathless Morgan. v "The wooes arc on fire, the wind has come up and the smoke is blowing this way!" Morgan cried. They followed her without question, hurrying up the driveway to the house. Morgan shouted to John to go round the back, and dragged Lora upstairs. She ran toward the empty rear bedroom and Lora followed her on> to the balcony and stood besid her looking out over the tree-studded hills. As was its custom on Staten island, the wind bad come up suddenly and fire on the ■ opposite hill had seared its way to the valley, leaving a black path behind it A great flaming area was visible. Lora choked as a gust of wind blew the white smoke their way. Morgan twisted her hands together. . "If this wind holds, my house is in the fire path! And we’ve nothing but brush around. Something must be done!" She was already running toward the Stairs and Lora hurried after her. “11l get Wade.” "Get Adam too. Every man you can find. I’ll nave the stable boy give the alarm." Lora plunged breathlessly down the hill, tripping now and then over a root across the path; sparing herself not at alt The smoke haze, had not yet crept down the hilL Mother Tyler sat at the open window where her chair had been wheeled. “There’s a fire coming up through the woods toward Morgan’s house!” Lora cried as she ran Into the yard. “Peter must go up there, and Vm going to fetch Adam.” “Lora!" Mrs. Tyler cried from her window, and the girl turned Impatiently in mid-flight “I can't stop now," she told the old lady. "If Wade comes home you’d better send him right up there.

When she reached the Lords’ I she did not wait for the polite ringi ing of the bell to be heard, but pounded on the door and shouted for Adam. v — ■ He came at once, with his sister behind him. He still looked sallow from his recent attack of fever, but at least he was well again. ’There’s a fire coming up the hill toward Morgan's house," she told them. “If the wind stays as it is now there may be real danger.” Adam assured Serena that there was nothing she could do and came with Lora at once. Together they started toward the hill path and Lora had to trot to keep up with Adam’s longer stride. "You’d better go home," he advised. “And keep a watch-out If this thing gets out of control it could burn its way down this side of the hill, too. Though the Channing grounds and the upper curve of Dogwood lane make a natural fire-break which may help.” Tm going with you," Lora said. “There’ll be things I can do at Morgan’s and .they’ll need every hand.” He threw her a quick look, but offered no objection. They saved themselves for fast climbing and did no more talking until they gpached the level of the pool and stopped a moment for breath. Adam did not look too fit, and Lora regarded him doubtfully. “Perhaps you shouldn’t be doing this. After all, you’ve been 111 and “Don’t trouble being sorry for me. I’m all right," he said shortly. “Let’s get on." They hurried upward again. Ambrose and Peter were already at work. Clothilde, the French housekeeper, and the other women servants were drawing water from the well, while men stood on ladders throwing pails of it on the roofs of stable and servant’s quarters nearest the danger. Over everything hung the ominous white haze and the air was uncomfortable to breathe... .. The bells of rival fire companies

could be heard clanging up the hill and in a tew moments the horses of the Zephyr Co. appeared pulling the heavy engine up the drive, while volunteer firemen overran the grounds. A few were equipped with red hats and shirts but most of them had come dressed as they were when the alarm sounded. Hose was quickly lowered into the well and volunteers manned the hand pump. Lora stood for a few moments watching the single, thin stream of water begin the doubtful task of watering down the space of brush back of the Channing grounds. The second fire company had arrived shortly after the first, but its men stood idly by, watching the progress of the fire up the hilL It was likely that they would not lift a finger unless the first company agreed to “slice the melon" by sharing the insurance company’s reward.- The sight made Lora indignant, but she knew there was no way to oppose this ridiculous system. Not even if the house burned down. She went to work in the kitchen, setting a huge coffee pot on the stove. The reviving powers of the brew would be needed in the hours ahead while all hands worked at the emergency. Through the kitchen window she could hear the not too distant crackling of the flames. The stifling smell of the fire now pervaded the entire house and her eyes smarted constantly. Morgan came up from the cellar carrying a stack of gunny sacking to be taken outside and soaked with water, in the event of hand-to-hand fighting with encroached flames. She glanced at Lora, apparently taking her efforts for granted, and ran outside at once with her burden. Lora found big china cups kept for the use of the servants and filled them with the steaming liquid. These she set on a tray and carried outside to serve to whoever needed a respite. Again and again she made the trip, for the coffee was accepted gratefully wherever she went. - . ..... (To Be OnarinwiJ .Xiß,

Highway Department Patrol House Moved The state highway department patrol house, which has been located on Thirteenth street at the rear of the Ohio Oil Co. property has been moved south of U. 8. highway 27 to the Krick-Tyndall property. It is situated on the east side of highway 27. The patrol house is a sub-district warehouse for tools, gasoline and other supplies used by the highway workers in Adams ooupty. A stockpile of repair material also is kept at the patrol house. The local warehouse, which is one of 19 located in the Bluffton sub-district, has been at the Thirteenth street location for more than 15 years. True Andrews, state highway sub-district superintendent, had charge of the moving, which was completed today. o « County Agent's Column » « Grain Seed Indiana small grain farmers have been advised by A. 8. Carter, of the state seed commissioner’s office at Purdue University, to buy seed for 1956 erdps on the basis of the analysis shown on the tag. . All seed advertised for sale or taken away from the grower’s premises is required by law to be tested and tagged before being offered for sale. Carter reports. If seed is found to be advertised without being tested and tagged, inspectors for the seed commissioner are required to stop sale on the seed until it can be brought into compliance with the law. Figures collected during 1955 at the state seed commissioner’s office reveal that about two-thirds of all the advertised seed is actually tested and tagged so that buyers can determine what kind of seed is being offered. It was found that all lots of tagged red clover seed sold In 1955 averaged 44 noxious weed seeds per pound while the average of all untagged lots of red clover averaged 2076 noxious weed seeds per pound. Similar comparisons cotfid be made for other classes of seeds. Lake differences in weed seed content and noxious weed seeds have been demonstrated in previous years. Carter concludes from these facts that tagged seed is actually better than untagged seed and urges farmers to know what they are buying. "The seed bought now will be the basis for future crops he adds.
