Small ads.’"usually appearing in classified columns advertise a rebuilt item at a very tow price. A person calls at the store and is shown the item, as advertised, but warned against the probable pitfalls if it is purchased. Then, an expensive and generally inferior product is brought forth with low monthly payments and the customer is almost forced to buy that product.'Better business bureas are aiding newspapers in stamping out this type of advertising. which is known as bait advertising. o o Howard Wisehaupt.

The statement is true, but it stops there. Public utilities are tax exempt but the people who own these utilities get the benefit in the form of —tower-rates. Privately owned utilities which pay taxee, reflect those taxes in their rates because they are guaranteed a certain percentage of profit on investment. It's all in the way you look at it! • ©—o We are pleased to join others in the Decatur area in welcoming to the local business arena.

The School Reporter Th* Sutool Reporter Wiebes its initial «ppMmhoa la today’* Democrat tor "the 57 school year, and Will continue aach consecutive Thursday. The oolutua. which is written exclusively by reporters from the five Adams county schools, will generally appear in the seoood edition Os Thursday's paper, aud will be edited by Mies Gwen Hilyurd of the Democrat staff. This is the first attempt at journalism by four of the school reporters, white the reporter from Adams Central has had a number of years experience iu thia field. Reporting the activities in and

around the halls of Decatur Catholic high school, will be Marjorie Kohue. who is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Gerald J. Kohne. A senior at D. C. H. S.. Marjorie is a member of the student spiritual council and the high school glee club. She plays the piano, enjoys singing a great deal, and is an avjd sports enthusiast. Ellen Welch is the correspondent from the Decatur high school. She is one of the assistants at the local library, and as one can imagine, enjoys reading a great deal. She is a member of the high school chorus, and quite active la other school activities. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. John Welch. The reporter representing Monmouth this year will be Grace Fuhrman, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norval Fuhrman. Grace is also interested in sports, and has an intense fondness for animals. Active in the band at Monmouth, she hopes to take up nursing following her graduation from M. H. S. next spring. Reporting the activities of Pleasant Mills high school will be a senior there, Kay Archer, who is the daughter es Mr. and Mrs. Elton Archer of Pleasant Mills. Having been a Cheerleader at school on different occasions, Kay is also interested in sports, and enjoys participating in outdoor sports. She would like to go into some phase of secretarial work following graduation from high school. Barbara Fiechter will again be the reporter from Adams Central. Only a junior last year, Barbara

STKOPSIS to Wild West days, Narcissa Hull traveled by stageooaA to Coyote Cwrafc, to northeaster* Montana, to marry Brail Jacobsen. One passenger became obnoxious in hie attentions to her—Dolt Kinney. He bragged of being the richest end meet powerful man in the territory, and told her to jilt Jacobsen «*d marry him. Narcissa found comfort in tbs presence coach stopped at Coyote Creek. BmiF vm not wait tag for her. “Looks like your feller didn't show up,” Kinney said. ‘'When you change yeur mind, let aae know. Dr. Eklund offered to take Narcissa to Brail's oabin. On the way they heard tile pounding hoofs as ■* hard-ridden horse shortcutting them. They find Bmil murdered. CHAPTER 3 EMIL had died from a bullet through the heart, and not long before. Half an hour, Eklund gueawed, -after a quick examinalt*n. And remembering that horseman who had cut across the coulee to pass them so hurriedly an the way out, he knew a dark wuapicion, but thia he kept to himself. Narcissa was staring down, wordlessly. She did not drop on her knees beside the dead man or even weep over him, recognizing that he was past knowing or feeling. Her eyes questioned Eklund, wordlessly, 'and he shook his head as he gat to his feet. _! — “Somebody shot him,** he said, and spread his hands. “Looks like he’d not much more than stepped out of the house.” "You -m<e*m—murder?” atae whispered. "Stnce he hasn’t got-a gun on him, that's what it amounts to,” the doctor conceded, and studied the ground attentively. But there was grass here, rather than dirt, and the killer had left no signs behind. His examination had been brief, but sufficient for his purpose. A gunshot was the immediate cause of death, but not, Eklund judged, the reason why Emil Jacobsen had failed to keep his appointment in town. There were other signs easy to read to the experienced eye, and they only made what had happened more horrible. If his diagnosis was correct, Jacobsen had failed to ride in to town because he had been a very sick man today. Suffering had etched new lines across his face, and Eklund had seen the other •ymptoms before. It was nothing about which a doctor could do much. Inflammation of the bowels, his colleagues called it, and some of them recommended a strong purgative, while others suggested wet towels applied as compresses. Honest medicos generally admitted that it didn't make much difference. Occasionally a patient recovered, not because of what the doctor was able to do, but in spite of it More often they died. There was no doubt in his mind that Emil Jacobsen would have died, for it was plain to be told that the appendix had ruptured. But that did not lessen the crime es what ha-J happened here. If anything, It enhanced it—to call a man already in agony from his home and shoot him, unarmed and kelpies*. 1956. Beurcsy A Cu'->

"What can we do?" Narcissa whispered. Eklund glanced toward the sun, just disappearing over the rim of the earth, close beside where the Rockies lifted like a , dark curtain against the etill bright edge of the sky. Stooping, ; he gathered the dead man tip fat his arms, lifting him with an exhibition of strength which the girl found surprising, for Jacob- i sen was a considerably larger i man. I Inside the cabin, he deposited i him on the bunk, observing the i preparations which Jacobsen had I made for the coming of his bride. ; It was crude but effective carpenter work, enlarging the bunk to serve as a double bed, with a deep ' fresh mattress of pine boughs beneath the , blankets. Those would have required a full day of work, riding twenty miles to cut them, as far back again. A shiny new water bucket was on the table, and there were other touches, pitiful now. Carefully, Eklund arranged the blanket over Jacobsen, drawing it to cover the face. Thinking hard, he had arrived at a decision. "The moon will’ be up pretty soon,” he explained. “I've got to visit the Indian I came out to see. That won’t take long, for his cabin is only about an hour's drive from here. Then we’ll head back for town, and I’ll report to the authorities. They’ll take care of things.” ‘‘You mean the sheriff?” Eklund held the door open for her, shook his head as he closed It behind them. “We don’t have a sheriff. Nothing’s organized up this way. But there’s an army post—F or t Meade —about five miles southwest df town. The soldiers there are the iaw in this country.”' Her bag was still in the buggy. He helped her in, climbed in beside her, and headed north in the swift-deepening dusk. She looked back once, her face showing white and strained. “It looks so—so lonely, to go off and leave him there,” she whispered. ’This is a lonesome country,” Eklund coneeded. “But he isn’t, lonely—now.” He drove in silence, sensing that she would wish to be alone with her thoughts. There had been shock and disbelief in her face, but no overwhelming grief. She had known ®mil Jacobsen, but that was years back, and liking or affection was not the same as passionate love. Her sense of loss would not be too great. But if the dead were beyond worry, their passing, .particularly in such an untimely fashion, always posed problems for the living. Erd Eklund -shrank in horror from the thought that had obtruded itself immediately, yet it would not down.

for himself. He had made it abundantly pla 1 n, to one who knew him as did the doctor, that he intended to have thia woman for his own. Jacobsen had posed a problem, but there were men with guns for hire, and Kinney had demonstrated an almost comparable ruthlessness on - more than one occasion in the put Whether his suspicion was true or not, Kinney would be doubly insistent now that she marry him. It would be a solution, but even without that ugliness which nagged at his mind, Eklund found himself disliking the thought with a growing violence. She wouldn’t want to return to Indiana. She hadn’t been wanted or welcome there, and she had Chosen this way as an escape. It was exceedingly doubtful if she had any money left to buy stage and train passage back, in any Case. The moon came up, an uncertain disc which shed a shadowy light and revealed to the doctor s keen glance the traces of tears on his companion’s cheeks. Stars shook off the cumbering blanket of darkness and made a marching majesty across the heavens, the ground dipped slightly, and here was timber of a sort, trees — weird and grotesque and unbelievable in the half-light “What odd trees!” Narcissa exclaimed. “Whatcauses that? Is it the wind?” Eklund shook his head, allowing the horses to slow to a walk. “Wind would bend them in a long crook, like a bow,” he pointed out. "No, it’s snow that does it Pushing them down, bending them over with its weight, holding them so until spring thaws set them free. They keep growing, but under handicaps.” “Snow!" She looked more closely at the trees, marveling. “There must be an awful lot of it.” “There is, generally,” he canceded. “The trees prove it It was pretty deep through this section last winter.” The oddity had lifted her out of her own immediate troubles, as he had hoped it might. Now he voiced a doubt that had been nagging In his mind for the last hour. “I'm askin’ this question as a doctor. Have you ever been vaccinated for smallpox?” She looked at him, startled, but shook her head. “Why no, I haven’t," she said. “Why?” “I figured likely not. Not many have. That was smallpox vaccine I went to Forty Mile for,” he added, pulling the team to*, standstill and reaching down for his own black bag. “I had a supply/ but I soon . used it up. What I’m trying to say is, I’ll vaccinate you now, if you don't mind. It won't hurt, but you’ll be safe, just in case. This patient that I’m going to see—l don’t know for sure that he’s coming down, with smallpox. If he is—well, it can be an iso* latcd case, 1 and maybe it won't spread. But that's something yoz I can never be sure of.” I ''(To Be Continued) -d by special permission. > ■<- r
