, The projected tax rate of Deca-tur-Washington tor 1957, one cent under the current rate, is great news to the local taxpayer. As long aa there is a serious attempt to control the rise in rates, most of us will be well satisfied. Raises tn the rates of neighboring areas can serve as a good yardstick for us and even though we do not rule out the possibilities of future raises, we do have a temporary respite from higher taxes. -—ft t exercises for students of the Reppert Auction School last week sends another group of men into the world of selling. There is no doubt that these men are well prepared and among them there will be goodwill ambassadors for both the school and Decatur. The Chamber of Commerce has again done a splendid job in helping those students orient themselves to our community. All in all, another big job well done. ft 4— It looks like football is here to stay, at least until January 1 and the “bowl’ ‘games. Our local high school team has begun workouts and apparently prospects are somewhat improved over recent years. Decatur has had a spotty though occasionally brilliant football past Several local men played on Decatur teams some 60 years ago and the tradition has been to “give all you have.” On occasions there has been a tendency to hold back a bit but indications are that there will be none of that for this year's squad. We know that coaches Worthman and belts will have a tine representative for Decatur and we should cease to be the door-mat for other teams. Give it all you have, grldsters, have no regrets when the season ends.■■ ■' 0 ft- — A bit of research regarding the term “dog days” indicates that there is a universal lassitude that seldom fails to affect some of us aaido Tr<>ra ,-4&a-ce®i®B world-. - •Dog--days were, not named for the animals which we have about us, but tor Sirius, the brightest fixed star in the sky. This star belongs • to the constellation Canis Major, or Greater Dog. It was thought that Sirius, rising with the sun, added to the heat of the summer hence “dog days” became common terminology. Veterinarians say the incidence of rabies is spread fairly evenly throughout the year

and there appears >to be little connection between the summer heat and the madness of dogs. While we have no defined dates for this period of languor, the Romans pin-pointed the period by astronomical observations as between July 3rd and August 11th or the time when Sirius and the sun rosei reckon dog days by the same means it would occur in August for us. Eventually we would find that dog days would extend into the late fall with frost and snow and then it would become necessary to dig up new excuses for that let-down feeling that jve are inclined to blame on “those dog days.” ft o—-— Let's look at it this way. In the Soviet Union, the maximum income tax is only eight per cent However, before you suddenly decide that In this particular phase of modern life the communists have it all over ns, some information is in order. Direct and visible taxation is of comparatively small Importance in the U.S.S.R. Principal reliance is on indirect and invisible sources of revenue. As Dorothy Thompson put it, the Soviet citizen pays the “difference between what the state, as sole producer and distributor, pays the factories and their workers, and the collective farms and their laborers for what they produce, and for what these same workers pay as consumers. Taxa j tion is reflected in the prices charged by the Soviet monopoly.” i. In other words, under communism the government either owns or totally controls the manufacture of sale of all goods and services. There is no competition. Retail prices are set to "siphon oft” the earnings of the people and return them to the coffers of the state. Profits are enormous and qualities poor. That is why the take-home pay of the average •---®oiite9*wwrker' subsistence living — whereas the take-home pay of the average Ajnerican worker buys a luxury in addition to the necessities. When the American housewife goes to shop, she pays prices that are kept to the lowest possible level by the inexorable force of free competition, That same force keeps qualities high. This free system has no equal even with objectionable tax rates.

CHARIER nn CHAD MAYS sat deep into his desk chair. He rubbed his ingertips up the back of his seek, pursed his lips and ihuckled. As if pleased. “You know what that is?” asked the man in the seersucker suit Chad glanced up at him. "Sure. I’ve been served, processed, summoned—er—er — subpoenaed — and—and—” His eyes were suddenly garnets, hard and glittery. "And arrested f" He folded the paper, slapped it uppp the desk blotter. "Get out!” he told the man. Hazel Barr laughed at the speed of the deputy’s departure. Chad glanced at her, and whirled his chair about to stare out of the window. “Can I—can I help, Doctor?” She asked demurely. He pushed an elbow at the paper. “Read it if you like. It’s pretty darn legal—it’s service of a suit against me, as head of this clinic —which I am not, but that makes no difference—for malpractice.” “What’s it all about, Doctor? I know I shouldn't ask, maybe—but the very thought of a lawsuit terrifies me.” “If any nosey reporters come asking questions," said Chad. “I want to be the one to talk to ’em. Pass that word along, Barr.” ..._.“Yes, sir. I—“ —— - Chad closed one eye. “If you'd put your mind to it, you could figure what the suit is about One of our patients, of course,” he added indifferently. "They claim we made a false diagnosis, assuring the patient she had nothing serious to worry about when actually she has a pre-cancerous skin ailment. This, according to our friend at the County Hospital —who naturally is behind the charge—has caused the woman great shock and agony of mind!” Miss Barr’s red Ups pouted, her etched brows drew together. “But that would be Dr. WilkinsBmith!" "Who else? Who else would show such fine concern for the citizens of this county ? Who else would want to protect Women from shock and agony of mind? _ Gad!” Chad spat out the words in disgust "What are you going to do?” she asked anxiously. Chari heaved his foot down and

HLvoa up. “i n minxor something,” he assured her. "Meanwhile I’U wait until they get all their doing done." Then he padded past his secretary, opened the door and disappeared into the hall. Miss Barr picked up the out- 4 side telephone, stood with it in her hand for a moment before, smiling, she dialed a number. '• • • That evening Chad appeared; promptly for dinner. Called to the table, John laid a copy of the evening paper in front of him; it was folded to show an account of the lawsuit, and a photostatic reproduction of the clinic’s own full record of the patient who claimed to have suffered because of the alleged false diagnosis. One Stella McCrillis. John Blandin, MJ>., had been the examining doctor. Chad read the account, as absorbed as if this were his first information of any lawsuit. John watched him. “I remember that patient,” he said significantly, “She’s the wife of that reporter you’re chummy with, isn't she?" Chad sat for a minute, thinking. Then he jerked to his feet and hurled himself into the hall, where they heard the whirr of the telephone dial He talked for ten minutes, his angry, spurting voice sometimes stilling for tong periods. When Chad rejoined them, they, all looked up so receptively that he laughed. He sat down, and even murmured an apology to Helen. "It’s all right," she assured him. “But tell us . . .” "Ah-huh. Called McCrillis. Couldn’t get him earlier. He says Stella is supposed to have preepithelioma. Already cancerous. In need of treatment” "What did your tests at the clinic indicate?” asked Helen, quietly. “Pemphigus,” John put in promptly, "Benign Familial We have lesion sections, history ~." "Did you send her to WilkinsSmith?” Helen asked Chad, light ■beginning tc dawn. Chad grinned. "She sent herself. She chose to go to County Hospital When she went there, the Superintendent himself saw her. With the results we now know," he added complacently. "Stella's had this skin thing, off and on, for years,” he explained to Helen. "Been to demos

Ike Juniors Have Big Control Today Lesser Heads Run Washington Affairs WASHINGTON (UP) — The Eisenhower junior team ran the government today while its bosses attended the Republican National Convention in San Francisco. President Eisenhower as always continued to be In charge and kept in touch from his convention headquarters. The cabinet and lesser bosses also were available by telephone if they were needed. But from one end of the capital to the other the on-the-spot men In charge In the big marble buildings of the government ranged in rank from undersecretary to a highgrade civil service employe. The Labor Department's top level offices were the emptiest. Deputy Labor Undersecretary Milard Cass, 4 a Civil Service employe ordinarily without executive authority, was in command. Deputy Undersecretary of State Robert Murphy is in charge at the State Department. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is attending the London 3“®’ conference and Undersecretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr. is at the convention. .... ’ ' r ’ And so it went down the line. However, if you want to talk to the boss at the Office of Defense Mobilization it so happens that Defense Mobilizer Arthur S. Flemming is in town. Thief Takes Pants From Under Pillow KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

or doctors. I knew about it after a certain Medical Board meeting." John sighed. "Go on and tell it,” he said feebly. "Well—Stella’s short report went to County, and WilkinsSmith saw her. He told her—and Newell—that she had cancer. But that he could cure it” "He did, eh? And he called it pre-epithelioma ?” Chad looked pleased. “After a purely ocular examination!” John began to look more cheerful about the outcome of the suit being brought against the Clinic. Chad smiled complacently at Helen. “At the clihlc," he explained, “we did a full histology —a microscopic examination of tissue. But the only record of that fact happens to be in my wallet ter safekeeping." "The clinic is being sued! No matter tow strong our case may seem to be, that’s ao laughing matter. 1 want to know what you’ll do now, Chad,” John said emphatically. Chad ate his Ice cream. "Have you talked to a lawyer? The clinic has one, you know. Do you mean to work through him ?" “Look, John,” Chad said patiently, "1 know much more about these rat-runs than a clean-toed fellow of your sort could ever learn or guess.” "Oh, quit bragging!” cried John testily, especially for him. "Just keep in mind, will you, please, what your contract says you’re here to do for us? This may not be your fight at all.” "Even if my name were not on that process. I’d make it my fight.” “Can you win it?” "Sure.” "AU right, then. But don’t drag* me any further along your devious ways. I’U take youi word that you know about such things, and do my part openly whep and if the time comes.” "I know. In fact I know a good deal. Except for one thing.” Chad dived under the table to retrieve the newspaper. ”X don’t know how they got that tong report out of our files! But I sure as Christmas mean to find out,” he added grimly. "I’m just glad I had the forethought not to put the histology report in it That would have made Wilkins-Smith bw» cautious!” (To Be Continued)

Sod Waterway Built In Preble Township A eod-water-way was constructed on the Ervin Schuller and Elmer Bultemeler farms in Preble Township at the demonstration held there last week, reports Leo'N. Selteright, county agricultural agent. The waterway construction was supervised by Cletus Gillman, soil conservation technician. The construction of the waterway was carried out by local farmers using conventional farm tools. The waterway was seeded to alta fesuce with a nurse crop of wheat. It was well fertilized at the time of seeding. During the waterway construction several other interesting demonstration plots were observed. Through the help of the chemical Division of the U. S. Rubber Company and Ervin Schuller, a field demonstration on the use of Alanap was put In this yea#, Alanap is a chemical weed control for soybeans, use* a pre-eraergence weed killer. It is sprayed on within 48 hours after the soybeans are planted and kills the weeds as the weed seeds germinate. Results were quite favorable on the Schuller demonstration. Wide row spacing of corn with interplanting of sweet clover and rye grass was viewed on the Arthur Koeneman farm. In the planting done by Roger Koeneman. the corn was spaced 60 inohes in rows. When the corn was about 12 Inches tall, sweet clover and rye grass were drilled in between the corn rows, using a band seeding attach-, ment on the grain drill. An excellent- stand of —the legumes and grasses was secured in ! the wide row spacing of corn. A seeding plot of eleven different legumes and eleven different grasses was viewed also. 7" wo Car- i-ddi I*. Causes S2OO Damage Cars driven by Vernan R. Gerber of Bluffton and Arden L.
