The ground is dry and rain would be welcomed in most parts of the county. Farmers, however, say that crops am tn splendid condition and after a slow spring start, acreage of most products is far above normal ■ O —49" - . . Big attraction in northern Indiana this week is the Bluffton street fair. The annual event, held on the streets of the Parlor City has long been the outstanding fair of its kind in the state. Our neighboring city has gone alt out this year to make the 1968 production the finest ever held, and parades, exhibits and all other requisites for a good afternoon or night of entertainment are on the schedule for the week. <y o Two more polio cases have been reported in the area bringing the year’s total to almost a score. There were no new cases tor almost two weeks and the community sort of leaned back and felt _ the danger of more cases was over. We still believe that this would be an ideal community for national research on the subject. < Surely we are entitled to know why this area has so many cases each late summer season. ——o— —O— — f The Decatur high School band, under the able direction of Instructor Clint Reed made Its first appearance of the year at the op* ening football game last Friday. — The band members not only were tops in appearance, but their ability to furnish great outdoor music is second to none in northern Indiana.

d eM4c^ < to*Coyote Creek, Montana, to marry Emil Jacobsen. One passenger became obnoxious in his attentions to her—Dolf Kinney. He bragged of being the richest and moat powerful man tn the territory, and told her to jilt Jacobsen and marry him Narcissa found comfort la the presence cf Dr. Erd Eklund, who helped her fend oft Kinney. When th* stagecoach stopped at Coyote Creek. Emil was not waiting tor Narcissa The doctor offered her a ride to Emil's cabin and ehe gratefully accepted. They found Emil— Murdered only minutes before. Dr. Eklund thought of a haven for Narcissa—a position as housekeeper for Tom Armington and Tom’s two wild young orphan daughters. For hidden reasons. Kinney wants Eklund to replace Philpott, the surgeon at the local Army post who resigned. When Erd declines. Kinney threatens to expose him as a deserter at Chickamauga. Kinney also has an influence over Major Blake, the post commander, and Blake effects the ap- —- pointment Blake learns Erd has one ace up his sleeve—he plans to remove the murder bullet from Emil's heart as a clue to the murderer. CHAPTER 7 “X/’OU will be the medical offiI cer here from now on# said Major Blake. “Mr. Kinney recommended you, and on the whole, it seems a logical solution of the problem. He has Informed me that you are agreeable." "It was his idea,” Eklund replied, and reflected that, since be had come almost straight here from his talk with Kinney, the trader must have conveyed his ’ consent before it was given. “Where there’s need, a doctor’s business is to do the best he can." "It should be an excellent arrangement for you,” Blake said testily. "It’s a little irregular, but you will have the temporary rank and salary of captain, with headquarters here at the post” “If it’s all the same to you, Major, we’U forget that part of it,” Eklund said. 'Td prefer to keep my office in town. I have to look after my other patients, and they know where to find me. I’ll spend as much time here as necessary, of course. But I would much prefer that you arrange for g new man to replace Dr. Philpott as quiekly as possible. Meanwhile, I’ll do the best 1 can.” This time, there was a visible trace of amazement behind the cold eyes of the major. “Most men would jump at the chance for a regular commission with the Army," he suggested. “Perhaps. Bait I have my work, and I like it I’m agreeing to do this only as an accommodation, and to protect, as well aa possible, the health of everyone in the community. I consider that there’s ample wprk for two doctors, the same as before." “You may be right However, with Captain Philpott leaving so unexpectedly, it will be a matter of weeks, perhaps months, before a new medical officer can arrive." “I expected that Pd like to study Dr. Philpott’s records in regard to the personnel. I have just secured a fresh supply of smallpox vaccine. Have I your permission to vaccinate whoever appears to need it?" “You’re the doptor,” Blake said •’ to you. Along with the responsl- ■ biiity.”

"lueu, wxta your permission, Major, I'll be-about it at once.’* Eklund stepped out into the sunshine, repressing a shiver. He’d been dreading that interview more than he cared to corffeao, even to himself. He moved across to Captain Philpott’s now deserted quarters, stood for a moment to look around. I He’d known Philpott casually —a fussy little man well lito middle age, a career man beginning, as did so many in the Army, to suffer the pangs of disillusion as they saw their youth slipping away, their dreams Unrealized. It had come to Philpott that he ‘was only an Army doctor at a far-off post, and that he never would be more than .that. — -J -• Awakening, if slow, had been bitter, to the certainty that this was all that he was fitted for; |to the fact that he had not kept up to the march of progress of his colleagues in general practice, and so Would have a hard titie in direct competition with them. Something of that he had cqpfided to Eklund some weeks before. Now, at the height of fits disillusion, he had been quick to grasp the chance to sever an tinprofitable association. The records were here, carefully neat and precise. And, like Philpott himself, they were a hollow sham. He’d done the obvious, those things of the moment which could not be avoided. All the rest he had left undone, and horror grew in Eklund as he soiled the records and the meager supplies left behind by his predecessor. Not only had the soldiers not been vaccinated against smallpox, but there was very little vaccine on hand, and that so old that It was probably worthless. “I’ll have to get at them t£day,” Eklund reflected grim#. "It’s not a matter of choice.” Neither was it so simple. He’d made a special trip to Forty Mile, because that town was the site of the nearest drug store, the only one within two hundrtd miles. He’d been fortunate in securing a supply of vaccine, h*d purchased the entire amount available. He’d ordered as much more from the druggist, to be secured and sent to him as soon as possible. But that would be a matter of weeks at the earliest If there was to be an epidemic, It was needed at once. Weeks would-be too late. As it was, he bad enough for the post—barely enough. Which took no consideration of the town, the scattered ranchers, trappers, prospectors and other settlers, to say nothing of the Indians. “It's like putting a man in a battle with enough ammunition to last till noon,” he reflected wryly. “You can hold the enemy off that long, knowing, that lie’ll swarm over your breastworks and finish you t off at his leisure before the day's out.” “Am I Intruding, Erd? Or should I say, Captain Doctor EkEklund turned, his face relaxing to a amite at sight of Helen

The dedication ceremony was conducted late this morning in sunny weather with temperatures in, the mid-SOa. It came on the heels of a horn-honking motorcade from the Indiana-Ohio state line which rolled westward to the Roseland interchange north of South Bend, where the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held. When the last short stretch of the highway is completed in about two months, motorists will be able to drive from New York to the south limits of Chicago on a continued pay-as-you-go superhighway.

Biaxe in me ooorway. Today she was again dressed in something light and filmy, and as usual there was a sparkle in her eyes. Just behind her, he glimpsed Captain McKinstry, a young at- ' fleer whom he had found a likable sort on the two or three occasions when they had met. “1 really had to poke my nose into what you were doing,” Helen went on, gazing critically around the room. “Anything for an excuse to come and see you. You’re the only eligible bachelor around, you know, except for Bill here, and he has a stodgy sense of duty which keeps him faithful to some girl he left behind him —a girl he hasn’t see for nearly two years, yet he keeps her image in his heart, blinding him to my beauty! Heigh-ho! So of course 1 had to come and bother you, Erd, dear.” McKinstry grinned. “A soldier takes his life in his hands in more ways than one,” he observed. “Battles seem to be among the lighter hazards. I was instructed, sir, to ask if you have any orders in regard to the men?” "Thank you, yes," Eklund agreed. “If you’ll have half of them line up, I’ll vaccinate that many this morning. As for you, young lady, I’ll teach you a lesson about poking your nose into a doctor s business. I need an assistant, and if you can stand the sight of a few drops of blood, you can swab off the arms of the victims before and after I scratch them up.” Helen gave a delighted squeak “I love blood,” she said. "Particularly if it’s someone else’s! And of course I’ll really be performing an operation of mercy!" “How do you make that out?” McKinstry inquired. “Erda scratches may be as painful as the claws of a kitty. But if the boys look at me, they won’t think what’s happening to their arms!” “And she’s got something there, Doc," McKinstry agreed. “How about me being first?" Eklund worked steadily, pausing only to dine with McKinstry at the officers' mess. McKinstry took Helen’s place, assisting him for a while, as she regretfully excused herself, explaining that she bad to get dinner for her brother the major, who would resent it if his meal was ® ven * moment late. She had proved an excellent helper, cool and competent, and unquestionably the sight of her had had a good effect on some of the younger men. A scratch on the ana was only a trifle. But when men stood in line and watched the faces of their fellows, inching slowly up for their turn, it could get to be an ordeal. Emil Jacobsen’s body was brought in while he was still at work, and as soon as possibkk Eklund repaired to Philpott’s quarters to extract the bullet His examination the day before had necessarily been a brief one.
