Countless Adams county and northern Indiana friends of Ferd L, Litterer, Decatur attorney, are concerned over his health.

ty farmers assists the yonng men ' In formulating an annual program. The projects are an important part of the year's work, but better and more Important than the annual projects is the fact that everyone of these young men believes in the future of American farming and its rewards. The Future Farmers are a fine group of Adams county yonng people, bent always on better methods of farming. We Join their many friends in congratulaing Mr. Grote, his staff of excellent officers, his advisory committee and of course, Mr. Journay in their past performance and their prospects for an even greater year in the months ahead. 0 0 The Indiana association of chiropractors has started a campaign now to present a request to the 1*57 Indiana legislature for its own board of examination for applicants of that profession to practice in Indiana. It is a wise move to start early and the group has the sincere support of many Hoosier citizens. The art of chiropractice should not conflict in any way with the practice of medicine. No person in his right mind believes that a chiropractor can cure cancer, typhoid fever or any other similar ailment. However in L the adjustment of bones and muscles the chiroprt»ctice has. proved its worth. At the present time it is most difficult for a chiropractor to get practicing license in Indiana Friends of the chiropractic profession certainly believe that these men should be qualified; but It logical that a board composed of chiropractors would be most eligible to determine their ability. Indiana has numerous licensing boards, ihcluding medicine, optometry, vet- ’ erinarians, beauticians, barbers I and many more. In almost every i instance the profession is pre- • dominantly represented on the board. Certainly, no person who » ever has had need for a physician i or surgeon wants any law passed ! which would make it more diffii cult for them to practice, but the I chiropractors surely have a place i in the orderly progress of things too.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO THE SCENE was one of furious activity by now. More distant neighbors, attracted by the blaze, climbed the hill to help. All were pitching in with a will except for the idle volunteers who stood about cracking Jokes at the expense of the working company. But still the Sarnes ate their way upward and the sound of the roaring grew constantly louder. One could feel a pulsing of heat in the air, even at this distance. The wind blew in uncertain bursts and there were moments when it seemed that it might shift to another direction. But always it veered again to the uphill attack. Now many of the men had stripped to the waist in the warming sun, facing the still fiercer heat of the fire as it blazed up the hill toward them. Lora could not refrain from keeping a nurse’s eye out for Adam, who should certainly not be up here doing such work as this when he had been so recently ill But she did not see him among the groups she visited. After she had handed around her current serving of coffee she looked for him deliberately and saw that he was working alone at a distance from the others, chopping at scrubby dry brush, working toward the lane of a firebreak that had been started Immediately hack of the servant’s quarters. Lora set her tray of empty cups down and picked up the last cup of coffee she had been saving for him. Then she walked behind the buildings to the place where his axe .lifted and fell against the brush. It-look-ed as though there would be little time left before the whole fight would become a hand-to-hand matter, with only wet gunny sacks and that single weak stream of water to fight the devouring fury. Adam saw her coming and threw down his axe for ,a moment as he wiped dripping sweat from his forehead. He grinned as if he were really enjoying himself. His shirt was streaked with soil and plastered against his body, and he took the time now to pull it off

When guests are leaving, after spending an evening in one’s home, are the host and hostess supposed to remain at the door until they have entered their cars and driven off, or do they close their dpor immediately after the guests have gone out? A. The door may be closed immediately after the guests have gpne down the front steps. Q. Should one write “Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Johnson” on the inner envelope of a wedding invitation, as it is written on the outer envelope? A. Just “Mr. and Mrs. Johnson” . is sufficient. Q. Is it proper to take more than one kind of food on the fork 1 at a time?

and toss it in a heap on the grass, r His muscular shoulders and stocky torso shone wet in the Sunlight “Hello, nurse,” he said. “You couldn’t be more welcome." He reached for the cup she held out to him and drank the coffee in a few deep draughts. As he drank he stood with his legs braced and his hand shook a little when he gave back the cup. She began to feel sorry that she had summoned him to this task. “You shouldn’t be doing this,” she told him. "Couldn’t you work at something less strenuous? You're quite likely to collapse and then the others will have to stop work to. come Mid carry you into the house.” “I’m not the collapsing kind,” he told her, and weaved a little on his legs. She put out a hand to steady him and he startled her by catching it in his own. There was a daredevil light in his eyes. Before she could pull away, he drew her into the circle of his arms and put his mouth hard upon her own. She could feel the damp warmth of his body beneath her hands, taste the salt sweat of his kiss. For a queer, heady moment her pulses quickened in response and her lips were soft beneath his own. Then she pushed away furiously, wiped her palm across her mouth. As suddenly as he had drawn her to him, he held her at arm's length, laughing down at her, recognizing fully her instant surrender. “Your—fever has returned,” she cried desperately, hating the tremor in her voice. “I’ll send someone here at once." He had picked up the axe to return to his work, but now he let his hand fall and leaned on the handle. “Wait!” I’m suffering from no fever. I kissed you because that was what I’ve long had in mind. And if you were not a rabbit—but since you are, you’d better scurry for safety, lest I try it again.” She could find no words stinging enough with which to demolish

Taxes Take Biggest Bite Out Os Wages Report Is Issued By Tax Foundation NEW YORK (INS) The tax foundation reported today Americans now work three-and-a-half days for themselves each week and the other day-and-a-half for the tax collector. The foundation, a private research organization, came up with those facts on how the pay check goes following a survey of tax effects on the 40-hour week. A man earning *BS a week, whlclf the foundation says is close to the average* fulltime'pay in private industry, works one eighthour day for food, seven houjts to pay his housing costs, three hours for his clothing and two hours for medical expenses.

him. She picked up her skirts and fled toward the house with the hateful sound of his laughter ringing behind her. He was a dreadful person—uncouth, unpredictable, dangerous. Her .blood burned with hot anger and Tier hands trembled. She could only hope that no one had seen what had happened. But now the roar of the fire was frighteningly near and she put the thought of Adam out of her mind. Tiny, fluttering tongues of the enemy advance reached to the very edge of the cleared space, like the flags of an invading army, and smoke rose blue above the spreading area offife. Every gust of wind carried drifting smudges of ash. The defenders stood ready with wet sacking to flail at any lighting sparks and the firemen rested 4 a moment at their pumping and held the hose ready to quell such attack as might be made on the roof or vyalL If only the wind would cease its Irregular blasts the stable might be saved. Long since the horses had been removed and tethered in the lower woods at John Ambrose’s direction and the carriages moved to safety. But the servants’ quarters were over the stable and now they were pitching their belongings out the window or carrying them away tied in bed sheets. Now and then Lora glimpsed John Ambrose moving capably and calmly among the excited throng. There was no time now for cof-_ fee; the real battle was about to be posed. Lora carried her tray of empty cups to the kitchen and set them down with a rattle as the disturbing memory of Adam’s kiss swept back. Even more disturbing was her realization of the momentary response she had given him. She dampened her handkerchief and scrubbed her mouth free of his kiss. But there was no time to waste on personal resentments. She must find something else useful to do. Perhaps , she could help remove valuables from this house, in case the danger increased.

Ask Congress To Stockpile Atom Weapons Ask Permission To Stockpile Atomic Weapons In Europe WASHINGTON (INS) — Reliable sources reported today that the administration has asked congress for permission to stockpile atomic weapons in Europe for use by American and allied forces in the event ot-war. The program being contemplated is a variation of the lend-lease program of the second world war through which billions of dollars in weapons were furnished free to American allies. Congressional informants said the atomic weapons stockpile would remain under U. S. control. In the event of war, they explained the stockpile would become available to members of the North Atlantic treaty organisation. Since the government is barred from selling, or even giving away, atomic weapons to foreign nations, legal possession of any weapons turned over to allies would be retained by the U.S. This was the device used under the lend-ldase program. The action would be taken under the authority granted the President under the atomic energy law. One section of the law states that the President may direct the atomic energy commission “to deliver such quantities of special nuclear material or atomic weapons to the department of defense for such use as he deems necessary in the interest of national defense." The key phrase in the law is “for such use as he (the President) deems necessary in the interest of national defense.” The U. S. is already believed to have atomic weapons overseas, but the new plan goes far beyond that, in that it contemplates having a stockpile on hand in Europe for use by both American and allied forces, should w-ar break out. Arabs Insist Peace Mission Is Welcome Clearer Definition Os Mediator Sought UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (INS) —Arab spokesmen insisted today that Dag Hammarskjold's mission to the mideast is "welcome" but that clearer definition of his role as mediator is required from the UN security council. The 11-nation council meets at JLpjn, (EST) to continue debate on a U S. proposal to send the UN secretary general on a 30-day peace mission to the Arab states and Is rael. *3*l Arab diplomats firmly denied they were seeking to obstruct. Hdmmarskjold’s proposed mission in calling on the council to hold up a vote on the issue until all sides have had their say. They claimed they are merely seeking clarifications regarding the U. S. proposal to apopint Hammarskjold as mediator in the ArabIsraeli crisis. The council is expected to act on the proposal next week. Today’s meeting was designed to pave the way for next Tuesday’.; decisive session when the Arabs and Israelis, along with Russia, will voice their viewpoints on the Hammarskjold mandate. Indianapolis Man Killed By Auto INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Funeral arrangements were made today for Robert Scharbrough, 21. of Indianapolis, who met death when a jacked-up and wheelless car slipped off a bumper jack and pinned him underneath.
