Perfect autumn weather greet ed this community over the weekend. A hot Saturday was followed hy a cool night and a pleasant Sunday. —-o— —o After today, there are 77 shopping days until Christmas. Soon retail stores will be bulging with gift merchandise. Maybe it would be practical to start planning your Christmas gift list right now. Remember, the early shopper gets his choice of the best selections. o oMany residents are hoping for some rain to brighten up their scorched lawns. Cool weather and some cloudiness is forecast for the early part of this week. Tomato growers hope for one more week without a damaging frost Some growers in this area still have several acres to be picked and they say they can complete the job in about five or six days. —O- 0 | Brooklyn, Milwaukee and Cincinnati are going down the home stretch in the National league baseball pennant chase, nose to nose, with indications that Brooklyn has the longest nose. Middlewestern baseball fans are still hoping for a miracle which will give the world series nod to either the Reds or Braves. ——O -O' ■■ ■— ■. We join the several newspapers and public spirited citizens of Indiana in a request for a thorough investigation of contracts for construction of the east-west toll road. This is not pointing an accusing finger at any particular person, but it appears the cost of building parts of the road is unreasonably high. ——o o The 1956 Notre Dame football team disappointed their thousands of followers Saturday night in the football game with Southern Methodist by losing their first opening game since 1934. The Irish, however, executed enough brilliant plays to thrill the huge crowd and cause grey hairs for the opposing coaches. Many of the players on the Irish squad were getting their first feel of varsity play, and probabilities are after a game or two Notre Dame will be as mighty on the gridiron as in previous years.

Os the more than five hundred Decatur children who took part in the summer reading project of the Decatur public library, most of them are continuing to read books each week. Interest among children in good books never was higher in this city. Reading helps educate and consumes many leisure hours. It’s a fine habit to acquire early in life. Almost every successful person is a reader of good books. —_o o— — Almost all midwestern colleges have started their fall terms and many Adams county young people are entered in the various institutions of advanced learning. Each year a larger percentage of high school graduates from Adams county enroll in the colleges and universities and each year there is a greater demand for college brained men and women. When a student is graduated from a high school, the temptation to make money immediately is stronger each year, but a tremendous percentage of top executive jobs ot the nation requires college trained people to handle them. We are glad that so many of this area’s young people realize the impirtance of getting sufficient education so that in the near future they will take a high and respected place in either •business, a profession or public service. All demand degrees from universities or colleges. o o Death has removed from our community Mrs. Bryce Thomas, wife of the Lincoln school principal. Long active in club and music circles, Mrs. Thomas has been in ill health for several years. She leaves a wealth of memories of the many kind deeds which she did for her friends and the musical talents which for many years, she gave to the community. Mrs. Thomas was a native of Ohio, but she came to Decatur shortly after her graduation from college and after teaching in the Decatur schools for several years she was united ih marriage to Bryce Thomas. Their marriage was blessed by two sons, Phil preceded his mother in death and Dan is a student at Purdue University. We join her large host of friends in offering sympathy to the husband, son and other relatives. The memories of her kindnesses and many abilities will remain in our community forever.

Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE Waterproofing Shoes Shoes will be waterproof, and also preserved, by using the following application: Melt a little beeswax and add enough sweet oil to make it pour. Then warm the shoe soles and pour on the mixture while it is hot. Hold the shoes near the fire until the mixture is absorbed into the leather. Bats The only satisfactory way ever discovered to eliminate bats is to drive them out of their haunts and then close their means ot entry. A characteristic of the bat is that it takes food on the wing, and therefore it cannot be poisoned. Scorched Food If food becomes scorched, remove the cover immediately and place the pan in a vessel of cold water. Allow it to remain for 15 or 20 minutes and the scorched taste will disappear. -—-.. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Would it be proper to insert an announcement in our local newspaper of a broken engagement 1 A. Yes, if an announcement of the engagement was made in that paper. A proper announcement could read something like this: “Mr. and Mrs. (Robert L. Gibson announce that by mutual consent the engagement between their daughter, Mary Ellen, and Mr. Thomas J. Fox is at an end.” Q. Is it now considered good manners to use a toothpick at the table? Lately I’ve seen this done

CHAPTER 13 'T’HERE had been a time when 1 irritation rankled in Dolf, particularly as regarded army officers. He’d been a paid scout, and a good one. No one had ever questioned his ability. But upstart youngsters cloaked in a uniform and authority had presumed to treat him with a supercilious air, which he had been forced to swallow. Os late, the position was pretty much reversed. He was the man who had tnost of what was owned in this country, either secretly or openly. He supplied the town and the country and the army alike with the necessities of life, and they had no choice but to buy of him. For the army he had contracts in black and white. He was a big man, and they had been forced to realize it. No longer could any officer, even the commandant, patronize him. He took a lot of satisfaction in showing his power. It was a partial revenge for the insults or fancied slights he’d swallowed in the past—slurs never forgotten or forgiven. One of these days, and soon, he’d exact full payment. Meanwhile, whether they knew it or not, he held them all —soldiers and civilians alike—in the hollow of his hand. The knowledge gave him a pleasant sense of power. One of these times, he'd close his hand, and it would become a fist Heading for the stables, he swung from the saddle, tossed his reins to a soldier as carelessly as the commandant might have done, and turned to see Captain Abe Stockett watching him with a half-amused look on his face. Stockett hailed him and approached familiarly. They were friends of long standing, and they understood each other. "I thought you’d be. out today,” he greeted Dolf Kinney. “I wanted to see you, for one thing,” Kinney agreed, with equal abruptness. He glanced around, drew Stockett farther out In the open, away from possible prying ears. He was contemptuous of anyone seeing them talking together, and they discussed matters as they walked. “The Old Man in his office?” Kinney asked presently. “Yes. Eklund just got here, by • the way, just ahead of you. He’s talking to him now.” "Good. I’ll join them." Kinney crossed without further words to the major’s quarters. He nodded to Use sentry, but did not request

Then, seeing who his caller . was, his face smoothed again. "Oh, hello, Dolf,”- he said, i "Come in. Glad to see you. Mr. Eklund and 1 were just discuss- , ing tiie Indians, and your experi- > ence should be invaluable.” , “Glad to be of help any time, , Major,” Kinney agreed. “How are you, DOc?” He helped himself to J a ichair, twisting it around, and sat down facing them. “W hat ; about the Indians?” “Mr. Eklund was out at their . camp this riioming,” Blake ex- ' plained. ‘Tell him what you've just told me, please.” “I’m suspicious that they’re cooking up trouble,” Eklund said. “There's been a lot of talk for some time, about their discontent and all that, and that was one reason why 1 wanted to have a look today. Another was on account of that Indian who had smallpox. I found him dead, and buried him. The only lucky thing in that connection is that he had been living alone, and apparently died alone. There didn’t seem to be any sickness in the camp.” He did not mention the missing blanket. No need. to borrow trouble’ on that score. Besides, that was peculiarly his own field and his responsibility. “What did you mean, trouble?” Kinney prodded. “It was their attitude,” Eklund explained. “I talked to Man Walks Alone’. He was pretty surly, until near the last, when he warmed up a bit.” From the look on Kinney’s face, he saw that the trader understood what he meant, and why the warming had come about. “But something was in the wind. It could be preparations for the big fall hunt. Only their attitude made me wonder what kind of game they’ll be thinking of hunting!” •That seems to check with . other reports. Do you think • there’s any real danger of an out- . break, Kinney?” asked Blake. Kinney shook his head. “Frank- ] ly, I don’t,” he said. ‘.‘l’ve known 1 Indians since I was knee-high to '1 a prairie chicken, and I've done i a lot of scouting one time and : another.

thing. That makes them Surly, plenty ot times. But I’ve been keeping a pretty close eye on them all summer, for the same reason. I don’t think it’s got that far —yet. I don’t think it will, at least not this fall. And after snow flies, they won't be lookin’ for trouble, only a warm tepee and something to stuff their bellies. 1 think we’re safe enough till the grass greens again. What’ll happen then —well, you tell me which way the wind'll blow tomorrow." "Your opinion confirms my Judgment,’’ Blake said, nodding. “It’s too late in the season for them to be thinking seriously of starting a war. Os course, we have to be watchful. If they ever did start, they could make it particularly nasty for the scattered settlers in this country. They could even give us trouble." “The army?’’ Kinney scoffed. “Oh, come now, Major. Indians against white men — bows and arrows against rifles." Eklund, watching thoughtfully, saw that the major was both relieved and reassured. Remembering the rifles he’d seen in camp that morning, Eklund wasn't so sure. It wouldn’t be all bows and arrows, not by any means, if it came to trouble. Which was another thing. When it came to the hunt, the Indians mostly preferred their ancient weapon, the bow and arrow. They were expert with that for getting food. Rifles were for other game. And whiskey. Whiskey was forbidden by law, and Kinney knew that as well as he did. It could be a gesture of friendship, one to promote peace. Ordinarily its effect was quite the opposite. Doll Kinney grinned now, stood up. "I just rode out to tell you that I’ll have a train of wagons with fresh supplies in tomorrow," he added. “Just about everything you’ve been wanting should be included.” “That’s fine,” . Blake agreed. “I’ll be glad to get the fresh ammunition. With it failing to come through on that last shipment, we’re getting mighty low. Though of course I wouldn’t want anyone to suspect that." “Ought to be plenty tomorrow,” Kinney said reassuringly. “I got the bill of lading, and if they've loft anything out, somebody will . smart for it. Be hard to get much more stuff in this fall. I like to have plenty of everything on hand when Udnter starts. And I aim to." 1 . f (To Bo CohlimhmU,
