Please continue safe-driving practices tor schools are near starting time and you’ll feel better if you do your*test — in fact, ( you’ll be better! 0 0 Fruits of the campaign to induce all to see to the polio vaccine for themselves and their own families are in evidence. The height of the polio season Is near - and each is urged to get it done. Don't put it off — DO IT NOW! 0— —0 We anticipated a thumbnail sketch of the Republican platform but to summarise the 13,500 words would consume several columns. Best condensation perhaps would be the continuation of efforts for “peace, progress and propserity." This, too, may well become thy slogan for the 1956 campaign. The “ins” running on their laurels, the “outs” on the offensive, attacking the shortcomings of the present adminis- ♦ tration. 0 0 Bridge improvements east on highway 224 are scheduled to start this week and of course, our Monroe street bridge is not included. It has been suggested that guarded walkways be added to both sides of the bridge to lessen the danger for those pedestrians who use it. It is high time that something be done for the start of school and Increased fall usage of the Community Center will increase the chances for personal injury. Let’s not looh back and say it “should have been” done. —fl We have received compliments and complaints concerning our tendency to “hammer” at certain , points. The chief complaints seem to be with the incessant urging of all to drive carefully. We are happy to hear both types of comments tor then it is evident that onr observations are being read, which in itself is a compliment. Those who read will have certain impressions left with them and if one person is more safetyconscious as a result of these efforts then it has been time well spent for both the writer and the reader. ---- —

Wonder about the parking ticket club? Haven’t heard too much recently so it can be assumed that increase in membership is sloughing off a bit. That is a good indication that the drive on “over-parkers” is bearing fruit fl fli— The producers of the “greatest shows on earth” or commonly known as political conventions certainly are to be considered when rehashing the conventions. Paul Butler and Leonard Hall the national chairmen of the Democrat and Republican parties have had involved jobs on their hands to time the business of the conventions to fit television and radio committments. Both seem to have the touch for showmanship and it remains to be seen how well they have done with the voting public, at whom both are aiming their shots. 0 0 ’ Price increases seem to be the order of the day. Our local increase in water rates appears to be necessary to offset increased costs of labor and equipment.; This seems to be a small phase of the merry-go-round of increases in prices of raw materials, distribution and labor. Just how high and how intense the nationwide spiral han become remains to be seen but it is certain that some utility rates need to be raised, i Our big question seems to be who is willing to stop first, the consumer, the distributor or the producer? . __o o Governor Langlie in his keynote speech was a far cry from the dramatic presentation of Governor Clement last week. There was i no rafter ringing by Langlie, no shouting, no pounding, no roaring — in- fact, it was observed that it was the lowest-keyed address of a keynoter in years. To those who heard both speeches there was a great contrast and it was probably intended that i’ way. Pep talks can be given in different manners and it is always of interest to observers ’as I to which is most effective. Time i will probably provide an answer in this case.

CHAPTER Z* SO FAR as anyone could see, for the next thirty hours Chad did nothing about the lawsuit, nothing to counteract the effect of the newspaper account of the case and the accompanying photostat. To ail outward appearances, Miss Barr also followed her usual pattern. At six of the second evening, however, she was still in her office. Chad, coming in, he said for a pencil, lifted an eyebrow. “I got a little behind in my paper work,” she explained. Her make-up was fresh; she was out of uniform. Chad squinted at her and went on into his office. In a few minutes he came out again. Miss Barr was bent over the desk, the light from the cop-per-hooded lamp licking her hair into little flames. “Better knock off,” said Chad gruffly. “Well—” Theoretically, only the call desk is open here at night.” “You often come back, don't you?” Her gaze was challenging. “How do you know ?" She smiled. “A woman reads big things out of litt|e signs,” she said throatily. Chad threw himself down ihto one of the steel-framed chairs. “A woman often reads big things out of no signs, too," he said pleasantly. “1 know," she agreed. “But I wasn’t very good at it today.” “Oh, yea,” he remembered, “you were going to snoop and pry.” "Everyone talked a lot," she admitted. “But no one said anything. Except of course to worry about you, and how this affair will hurt you” “Kind of them to be concerned . . .” he murmured. “But,” she said, looking shocked, “it will be exceedingly bad luck, Doctor, if this ch*»ge against .you would stop your work!" . .. .1 “If there are grounds for that lawsuit,” Chad argued, lazily, “my career should be ruined.” “I’ve seen this sort of thing before,” said Hazel significantly. “Your case is different, of course. This matter is connected with your work. The other I have in mind was a strictly personal thing—and it killed that doctor!" “My goodness, Barr!” His eyes were red-brown piarbles. “It did,” she insisted. "It was an awful thing. I was., that doctor’s secretary ... too.” “Upon my soul!” said Chad

mays, we closed his eyes for a moment. Anxious to pump this woman, but wary of her—needing to be wary, he thought “Why do you say too ?" he asked, his voice troubled. “How does that man’s bad luck apply to me?” ‘There’s one more similarity," said Hazel archly. “Os course, it may be only gossip, but there is quite a lot of talk around to the effect that you and that same doctor’s wife —his widow, it is, of course—are close friends. Very close. It has occurred to me, of course,” she went on, “that if you have talked to Mrs. Van Horn about the clinic . . Chad smiled, as if with great amusement. 'Tin a great talker,” he agreed. “But I’d certainly not consider giving her a report—of any kind.” “What—this is supposing, of course, Dr. Mays—but what if she came here to the clinic ? Might not one at the clerks give her a certain report? From Miss Duckett down, all of us know her mother has given a lot of money to the clinic, and—” VT think you’re on the wrong track entirely,” said Chad. “I told you that I worked for Dr. Van Horn. And it is my opinion that she’d do much more than steal a report and use it” "Oh, nonsense!” “She did a great deal to hurt her husband.” He waited. Interested, but not appearing to be eager. .... Hazel sat thoughtful for a minute. .“I—” She sighed heavily. “I don’t like even to think about that awful time,” she said sadly. ‘1 admired Dr. Van Horn very much. Not only as a brilliant doctor —which he was! But as the friend he was to me, and other people. Women were wild about #um—he used to make jokes about the one who would catch him sometime Utien he ' was tired ...” Chad’s shoe sole softly stirred the carpet pile into ridges. Miss Barr was still talking. “The marriage happened quite suddenly—unexpectedly—even to me who knew so much about the doctor’s affairs. But as soon as they got back from their honeymoon, I realized that something was wrong. I supposed it was a matter of Lacey’s youth, and her being spoiled. He had a heart condition, too, which needed careful handling, and Lacey knew about that, I’m sure. But—to make a long story short—things did not go well I was very worried. and after six months or so.

Farm Bureau Co-op Shows Cattle Grading A feeder cattle grad’ng demonstration was held yesterday in r Clayton, by the state Farm Bureau Co-op for Co-op feed men. jThey were assisted by Purdue’s iPaul Mitchel, economist and Henry Mayo, animal husbandry man. Adams county Co-op employees cttending were Robett Speakman, Art Roudenbush, Rer. Raudenji.sh Cecil Bollenbacher and L. E Aichbold. A similar meeting wdl be held '•i the Producers Yr,rds in Mint pe’-ev on Sept. 20. The reason Purdue is helping with til- type of meeting is because of the increased interest in beef feeding in Indiana. Also because nt many prospective beef feeders do hot know how to grade cattle and the profitable methods of fendLag the various classes of beef cat Me. At the conclusion of the Clayton meeting Paul Mitchell state 1 that many farmers a.e going out •of c.ufry cattle and hcg.s and are teJing their grain. Tips leaves the roughage such ,w pasture, bf.y and crop aftermath on hands. ,Lk-:f feeding then fl’s into the pi '.lire as a means of converting this roughage into cast.

Britton toia me that ne was afraid a divorce was inevitable. The child Lacey was about to have was not his.” She glanced at Chad, who was Actually smiling. Miss Barr gulped, her cheeks flushing. “He wanted children, but not that sort. So he began the processes leading to a divorce. And —the emotional strain—perhaps —killed him.” Chad said nothing. K“One night he went out on a te call —as he had no business doing, I suppose. When he returned home, there was some sort •f scene—in the garage—and he ied. She—his wiser-claimed not to have seen him; she said she fad been in bed. When questioned, she went hysterical, and, dr course, money brings a lot of protection At a time like that. But it was a terrible thing! He was such a brilliant man!” . "Did the law do anything to her?” asked Chad, softly. "Put her in jail ? Give her the chair ?” Hazel Barr looked at him, shocked, puzzled. And then angry. “Why, Dr. Mays!" she cried. “Aren’t you saying that she committed murder?” “Oh, not actually! Though if she had used a gun—but don’t ret how rich her mother was. Too rich, of course, to let a charge of any kind be made against Lacey. No indeed! They hushed things up, completely. Even today, no one speaks of it.” “I imagine they embalmed and buried the handsome Dr. Van Horn!” Chad’s voice twanged. “Dr. Mays, don’t you believe what I’ve told you?” “I don’t believe you,” he said finally and flatly, his eyes narrowed, his face hard. “1 think you Wave taken a fly-speck and built up a stinking, steaming pile of manure. I don’t know your purpose. I hope you don’t have any. But 1 don’t believe one word of it, Miss Barr! Not one word at She leaned back in her desk chair, back out of the fan of light from the cone-shaded lamp. Her face was a pale oval in which her eyes glowed green. "Well," she skid at last, “of Course ydu needn’t believe me. But I do suggest that you ask John Blandin about the matter. He and Dr. Van Hom were partners, you know. Perhaps you’d feel that you could trust Mm to tell you the truth.” (To Be Continued!

Good Way To Save Bond Buyers State T. F. Gr&llker, chairman of the Adams County U. S. Savings Bonds Committee, has received a report on a nation-wide survey on "People's Attitudes Toward Savings and United States Savings Bonds” which reveals that 76 per cent of the persons interviewed believe people should buy. Savings Bonds The reasons given for their overwhelming endorsement of U. S. Savings Bonds were that they are a “good investment” and "a good way to save.” The survey was conducted by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan —a nationally known organisation which has among its clients the Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System; Institute of Life Insurance. New York Central Railroad, and the Port of New York Authority. The survey indicates 51 per cent of American families believe they had added to their savings during the previous year while only 43 per cent had added to saving in 1952. The cross section of persons inter viewed was asked: “Who in the family Is most interested in seeing to It that some money is saved.” The response — husband, 15 per .cent; wife, 25 per cent; both, 59 per cent, and not ascertained, 1 per cent. Savings Bonds proved to be more popular than any other savings medium. ” Lester Freeman Mohr Fined In City Court Lester Freeman Mohr, 46, of Monroeville, was arrested Thursday by city police at Adams and Tenth a . charge of public intoxication.
