A few candidate cards and match hooka are sUrtlng to bob up in various parts of the county. Indications are that both parties will establish headquarters here in the next 10 days. And the drive for votes will be on, full force. 0 — Watch for bicycles darting in and out of traffic lanes when you're driving these autumn days. State laws governing traffic are the same tor bicycles and any other vehicle, but many of the young riders, follow in the footsteps of elders and don't pay too much attention to the red lights at comers. Watch for them! 0 0— Local churches are planning increased fall and early winter activity as vacations end and school terms resume. In addition to the regular worship services most of the churches are planning fellowship gatherings, youth meetings and other interesting programs. It's a good time to place regular attendance of church on your autumn's weekly program. Fishermen miss a good bet if they don't take advantage of the good autumn weather to go after the big ones, according to top conservation men in the middlewest Almost every type of fish found in Indiana waters, apparently are hungry this time of year and give the followers of Isaac Walton many big thrills. Another beneficial factor for fishermen in Indiana lakes this time of year is the fact that a large percentage of the speed boats have been hung up for the winter, giving the anglers full sway of the waters. 0 0tSo county tax adjustment board will get a final look at tax levies next week before the rates go to the stated board for final action. The tax adjustment board is composed of a representative of the county Council, a representative of the township trustees, ” the Mayor of the largest city in the county or » person designated by him and two Democrats and

two Repnbiioaw appointed by the circuit court Judge. These seven citlkens have the final word on all levies of the county, prior to presentation to the state board. 0 « It won’t ba long now until the "give us your dimes and pennies" organisations will be out soliciting. This newspaper always has been a strong exponent of the Community Fund and we believe that every worthy soliciting organisation should be a part of that fund. Then other solicitors of non « Community Fund groups should be most carefully studied before a penny is contributed. Most people would rather give in one lump sum and have it over with, for the whole year. Cal F. “Smoke” Peterson is the owner of a copy of the constitution and by-laws of the Decatur Volunteer Fire department, 1885. This was the city’s first fire fighting organisation and listed as its officers: John King, chief, J. S. Bowers, foreman. A. R. Bell, assistant foreman, AJ Grant, secretary and W. G. Spencer, Jr., treasurer. The members included John King, Henry Wlnnes, A. R. Bell, H. Tettman, W. G. Spencer, Al Dent, J. H. Bremerkamp, Al Grant, F. Gast. Adam Miller, Henry Voglewede, M. Burns, C. Undertaker, L. J. Gast, John Niblick. Isaac Peterson, John Bowers and Pete Russell. 0 o— The Adams county Council did an excellent job of “watchdogging” on the tax rate and after hours of deliberation and study that body reduced the proposed county levy by five cents. It means that the total rate for taxpayers will be less than this year's fate while most neighboring counties are being forced into higher taxes. The rate which will be around 35.20 in Decatur is still high, but so is everything else. Tax reductions come only when there is interest shown by the public. Again we congratulate all members of the county Council for the splendid work done this week. . ■ ‘“t'

CHAPTER 36 A T THE stone gate-posts, Chad r\s!owed his hurrying feet, shook the moisture from his hair, and smiled with pleasure at the Rembrandt-like beauty of the Milburn estate on that particular evening. He sighed, and hurried upward toward the door. Lacey was bathing Johnny, but she heard his voice and called out to him. Chad went through the gracious living room, down a passage—she came to him, an apron about her waist She was smiling and his arms reached out for her, drew her close: he kissed her under one ear, under the other... . “Darling!’* he breathed. He lifted his head then and looked about him—at the shimmering reflections upon the wood paneling, on into the brightly lighted room where a wet-haired little boy chugged a motor boat across a bathtub half full of water. Finally, he looked down at the girl in his arms. With ber there, the whole world lay before him, warm, shining, golden. A warm gold, like the lights in Lacey’s hair, as shining as the flecks alive in ber gray-blue eyes, as quiet as a night where the stars burn golden and the branches of a great tree arch up and up into their sky. . . . He smiled down at Lacey, his eyes speaking of all those things. But too soon she stirred, and a shadow crossed her face. “About Britton .. ■" she said anxiously. “Oh! Don't talk about him!” He could feel her sigh. *l—l don’t like to talk about it, Chad. I haven’t been able to, before this. But I will, now, if you want me to.” “Os course not.” His tone was nonchalant, almost breezy. “Besides, your mother told me all I’d ever need to know.” She began to tremble. • Chad caught at her hands and held them x warm in his own. “Your mother's a wonderful person,” he continued solemnly. “And heroic." Lacey laid her head into the hollow of his shotilder. “But she didn’t know the whole story,” added Chad reflectively. The golden head snapped up. “Did she say— that?” “Oh, no. But Barr did know it and fitted in the last details this afternoon. Os course I bqlievfd her.” “What—" Lacey’s voice failed. Then she summoned fresh courage and spoke again. *1 want to know the whole

story, Chad. We’ll never need to speak of it again. But—l want to know.’' < — “Yes,” he agreed. And he told her quietly, factually, of Hazel’s place in Britton's life, of Mrs. Milbum’s ultimatum to her son-in-law, omitting only the scurrilous slanders that Hazel had invented to blacken Lacey’s reputation in Chad’s eyes. “He accepted your mother's terms.” “Had he married me because of the money?” “It probably was an item to a middle-aged man with a history of coronary thrombosis. On the other hand, I agree with your mother. You must have been exquisite at eighteen.” “Go on,” she said gravely. “Well, he went to Hazel, said he was through, and gave her the money from your mother.” Chad felt Lacey wince, and he tightened his arm about her shoulder. “She made a scene. A bad one. And—he had an attack. She called Dr. Wilkins-Smith, who pronounced the man dead. Both of them were of the type to recognize the possibility of scandal and so forth. Both were the type to load the dead man —” Chad's eyes studied Lacey’s expression, and his tone quickened “—into his own car, to drive him home, push him across the wheel —and leave. The rest — you know.” _ . | She stood very still, lire time lapse—yes, that was how it would have been. “The money?” she asked ly“Oh, Haze! had it —and of course kept it. She was in Chicago for a couple of years. Then she came back and renewed her —er —acquaintance with Dr. Wil? kins-Smith.” She put her fingers upon his lips to silence him. No more, need be said, now or later. Her eye* searched his fgee. Very soon she tucked her head again into, the warm place, and she sighed. “Darling . . .’’ she murmured. “Life won’t be easy for you,” he said anxiously, “with me, Lacey.” “Who wants an easy life?” she asked dreamily. He laughed. "We cpwM have one,” he assured her, looking across her head at Johnny, who was now endeavoring to hold his nose and stand on his head in five inches of water. “I could establish a practice, buy us *

RONALDREAGAN (Contiaaed from Pane O»e> entertainment is the best way to tap the pulse, according to Reagan. What Americans have to say over the symbolic back fence is about as elose to the truth of the matter as you can get, Reagan firmly believes. “More producers, in both motion pictures and television, should talk directly to the public and stop guessing,” states Reagan. “Public reaction to forms of entertainment can have as many changes as the weather. This reaction — firsthand—can point the way to the type of entertainment that will be in demand tomorrow.” And maybe that’s why the General Electric Theater has developed its own type of barometer and the needle stays close to the mark which says "better and happy entertainment.” »«r—> '■>-- 1

Does, doesn’t it? On the other hand—” She stirred enough to look up at him; his hand pushed her head down. “Then,” he said thoughtfully, “I have a chance .. .’’ He rested his cheek against her hair, liking the softness cf it, its fragrance. __“Chad...” “A chance,” he resumed, “to go to the San Joaquin Valley next year—ter set up a screening clinic out there. That’s in California, darling, the hot part. In fact, I understand, it’s awfully het in thgt valley. They raise grapes, for wine. And they do need a clinic —and they’ve asked me to set it up. I would survey the locality, choose the site, get > the project underway. I think a trailer would be the best means . to get about in, and the best place for me to live.” “For us to live,” she corrected gently. “And a 'trailer sounds wonderful . . .” Laughter shook his chest, crinkled his eyes, curled his lip, “A trailer, or a dog, both, sound i wonderful?" he demanded. "Os course,” she said reasonl ably, “Any life with you would I be—will be—wonderful.” The laughter died, his face stilled, his eyes were grave. “Do you rpean that, Lacey?” She straightened and leaned back against the curve of his arm, not to see his face, but so ■ that he might see hers. "I mean it,” she said seriously. “It’s true. After what you once said about i gham, darling—l'll never speak : anything but the truth to you.” He took a deep, deep breath. “So,” smiled Lacey. “Any life . for us together will be wonderful. Don’t you believe that?” “Well,” he conceded, "I want to believe it. And it may be true—because it already is wonderful, isn’t it?” “Mommie!” shouted Johnny, “1 stood on my head! I stood on my head. You were kissing .Chad, and didn’t see—but I stood on my i head! Isn’t that wunnerful?” "Yes, darling,” called Lacey happily, “everything is wonderful! Now!” (The End)
