The Braves and Dodgers are going right dowp to the wire in the National league pennant race. Moat mid-westerners are hoping for the Braves. .o;—wr It s hard to squeeze any rain out of the sky for parched fields and lawns in this area. However, one of these days it will come in sheets and well forget the brown grass and cracked ground. o o Internal revenue department figures reveal that cigarette and cipr smoking in July showed a nine percent increase over July of 1955 and pipe smoking showed a decrease. Filter type cigarettes are believed to have been responsible for the incras in smoking after the cancer scare. 43f 0 Captains for the fund drive for -Investment In A Greater Decatur” have been named. Some of the city's most able men have been named to spearhead the ” drive for funds to be used to purchase a site of land at the southwest edge of Decatur for the purpose of securing new industry for. our city. We believe that the people of Decatur will respond willingly and enthusiastically to -a this fund. ■ - -O""—o— —- Final rites were held today for B. F. “Doc” Roller. Van Wert, 0., lawyer and formerly of Decatur. The well known Ohio attorney died after an illness of several years- Ha practiced law in Decatur in the late twenties and retained his friendly relations with many Decatur people. All his life he was an ardent Democrat and managed sertTs! ««cessftrt~political campaigns in Van Wert county. Sound farm economy certainly can’t start with less income. The midwest farmer 4a eertairily wise enough to know that if he receives less dollars this year than he did last year, he won t have as much to spend.

County clerk Richard Lewton will remain on the job in hi* office Saturday afternoon and Monday night to provide the opportunity for all to become eligible to vote in November. • o—oWhen the Adams county Memorial hospital gets all dressed up with larger waiting room space, better facilities for doctors and nurses and additional modern rooms for patients, it should be _ second to none in a county this size in Indiana. The trustees are doing an excellent job, in consultation with the architects and the results will be one of the state’s finest hospitals. We’re proud of Adams county and our people certainly are entitled to the best. The trustees are following that procedure and also are bearing in mind that care and cure of the sick is the principal function of a hospital. 0 o Under direction of Miss Gwen Hilyard. society editor of the Daily Democrat, six young ladies, students in the five northern Adams county high schools, are writing columns each week for this newspaper. The columns contain interesting news of athletic, social and academic activities of the schools. Decatur high school has two reporters, one for each of the two semesters. The other schools retain the same reporter throughout the school year. The staff includes the Misses Marjorie Kohne. Ihauatur Catholic high school, Ellen WeW, iWKhigh school, first semester and Sarah Brunnegraff. Decgtur high school, second semester, Barbara Fiechter. Adams Central. Kay Archer, Pleasant Milla, and Grace Fuhrman, Monmouth. We are sure you will be pleased and we know you can spend an enjoyable hour if you read these school items appearing each Thursday in your local newspaper. The young ladies were guests at dinner at the Fairway restaurant of Miss Hilyard this week and following the dinner they all attended the style show at the Youth and Community Center and assisted Miss Hilyard in writing an account of the event

Is it obligatory that refreshments of some kind be furnished after a wedding rehearsal? A. While not obligatory, it is customary and a very nice thing to do. The refreshments are usually served after the rehearsal at the home of the bride —or the bridegroom invites the little party of attendants to some eating place. Q. Is it proper for a host and hostess, who are having a number of guests at dinner in their home, to offer a prayer before beginning the meal? A. This is perfectly proper. Q. Is it proper to write an anonymous letter of protest or criticism to a newspaper or to a columnist? A. This is not only ill-bred, but cowardly. One should always have enough courage in one’s convictions to sign the letter.

CHAKTKK IS IT HAD been no part of Eklund’s plan to stop at the ranch tonight. The hour was growing late, and he was battered, dusty, and disheveled. But there were lights burning, and laughter drifted to turn across the dark—girlish laughter which tugged at his heartstrings, for in it were the almost forgotten sounds of home. A dog set up a sudden clamor, and another rider loomed out of the night, coming from the opposite direction. Tom Armington spoke. “Don't you know me, Shep? Oh—why, hello. Doc. 1 was just in town to see you, but you weren’t around. Come on. 1 want you to have a look at Peggy's finger. She got a bad sliver under the nail, this afternoon.” "Why, sure," Eklund agreed, and followed him in, noting that both little girls were up, as «well as Narcissa. Peggy had a bandaged finger, which did not seem seriously to trouble her. He noted Narcissa’s sharp glance upon him. but she made no observation as to his looks. “How did this happen, Peggy?” he asked. “What have you been doing ? ” “I got It when I grabbed the money,” she explained. “But I flanged it anyway!” “She means the two dollars z Dolf Kinney gave us,” Patty explained. “Id throwed them on the ground. But that wasn't enough for her. She had to pick them up, from kind of under an old plank, and throw them as far as she could!” “He wanted Narciss’ to marry him," Peggy added. “Tried to bribe us to like him! I hate him, and 1 don’t want none of his money!” “We don’t want her marryin’ anybody,” Patty said. “But if she's got to. Doc, why don’t you marry her? That’’ be a lot better." Narcissa’s oheeks were pink. She had removed the bondage, and now she explained rather hastily, not meeting his eyes. “The sliver was so deeply embedded under the nail that we could do nothing with it, Doctor. So 1 put on a bit' of sticking plaster, in the hope that it might i help to draw it" "A good idea,” Eklund said i gravely, and examined the finger, i “Come la by the light, and we’ll 1 fix that up,” he added. 1 Peggy smiled brightly at him I - ~ through incipient tears, gave him 1 a rapturous hug and kiss when he drew the sliver out and held < it w ter ah te see. - --3 j "Tev'w te*!" she declared, “I <

National 40 & 8 Convention Opens I On Verge Os Break From Parent Legion i INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The , American Legion’s fun — making offshoot, the 40 & 8, which is on , the verge of a break from the parent organization, opens of ourday national convention here to- ; night. For the first time in history, ■ the 40 & 8 met separately. Members formerly held their convention in the same city and at , the same time as the legion’s. . A squabie developed, however. t Forty & 8 inemhers charged last year that “power politicians” in the legion were trying to control their organization. Later, they charged legion officials treated unfairly their plans for convention parades.

inihK it would oe a yuuu taea u you married Narciss’!” •• • • A persistent rapping aroused Dolt Kinney out ot a sound sleep. His mood was petulant until he discovered that it was a messenger from the post, a man anxious to return as he had come, under cover ot darkness and unobserved. “Well, what is it?” Kinney demanded. “Couldn’t it wait tor daylight?" - "I suppose it could, sir—but we figured you’d want to know. A wagon was captured tonight, with a score ot ri£es. The driver is in the guardhouse now." Kinney swore. No need to ask questions when the situation was already crystal-clear. The messenger knew who owned the wagon, and Kinney knew what would follow. He’d lulled Major Blake’s suspicions, but this would freshen them, and a guaro was sure to be posted, to patrol the country night and day to waten against more tries at gun-run-ning. The only hopeful aspect to a bad situation was that no one apparently suspected who was back of 1L “I’ll take care of the matter,’” Kinney promised. "Get aiong back.” He returned to his bed, but not to sleep. This matter called for some careful thought. Morning found his mood tar from pleasant. He started tor the post, knowing that there was not much that he could do. He had promised those who worked for him that he would give them protection; that if they got in trouble, he’d get them out again. The rub was that in this particular instance he had to make good; otherwise, Oates was the soft of man who would tell what he knew. And that wouldn’t do at ail. Kinney cursed under his breatii. As he rode, a plan was beginning to take shape in his mind. One which, the more he considered It, the better it appeared. This should be a safe way out of his dilemma. Reaching the post, he talked i with Major Blake, taking a prop- i er attitude that there were cer- i tain settlers who would not scruple to stir up trouble if they i could get away with it But he ‘ again discounted the notion that < there was anything to tear from the Indians, with winter so close i at hand. He learned that Oates, i having been questioned, had stub- 1 Tx>mly insisted that he was doing i thio on his own, a statement i which the major flatly doubted. < "Don’t sound logical," Kinney i conceded. “Tell you what—let me I hav® a talk with him. Maybe I 1 ea* triftk Mwi uolU>

Spokesmen said about 10.000 members were expected to arrive j for the convention. Registration | began at noon. A meeting of the national executive committee was scheduled for tonight. The opening session for delegates was set for Friday afternoon at the Indiana Roof ballroom, in charge of the chief officer William A. Schlupp, Chicago. A banquet was scheduled at night. Climax of the convention will be a parade around Monument Circle Saturday night. The convention will end Sunday afternoon with the election of officers.

XX 1 can, i n let yuo Know.'’ “You can try, of course,” Blake agreed. "Have you unloaded the ammunition yet?" “The boys were just starting in on the wagons when 1 left town,” Kinney explained. "We’ll get supplies out here as fast as possible." The major would be doubly irascible when the needed ammunition wasn't forthcoming, nu tears spurred by this gun-run-ning. It was a toueny situation. More than ever this particular incident needed to be handled right. Closeted with the prisoner, ne listened to Oates’ account of wnat nad nappenea, with ms mouth drawing into a thm line. “I thought this doctor was working tor you,” Oates growled. "How come he helped the soldier against me? I’d nave been away an right but for turn.’’ "I’ll have to look into that," Kinney promised, and omitted to explain that ne nad given no orders or explanations to Eklund concerning guns or their running. He saw that Oates was in a mood to do exactly as he nad feared, uniess ne was soon set tree, , “How soon do 1 get out of here?" Oates demanded, like an echo to his apprehensions. "Tonight,” Kinney promised. He’d have to use the plan he nad formulated on the way out. “I’ll tlx it up with the right men. But it will have to look right, you understand? When your guard brings your supper, make a break tor iL He 11 probably lake a shot at you and raise tiie alarm, but that will be just tor show. You can get past the sentry at the gate the same way. I’ll nave the right men at the right places. There’ll be a norse waiting tor you outside, and it’ll be good and dark by then. Come around and see me in town about midnight.’' It sounded well, the way he said it, and Oates was unsuspicious. Kinney’s next step was to seek out Stockett, and ha viewed the captain with surprise. “What’s happened to you?” he asked. "You look as it you’d been in a roughhouse! Don't tell me that Eklund did that to you?” “He’s a terror when he gets started,” Stockett confessed. “Everybody's laughing at me today.” Kinney considered him for a moment. A lot of things didn't seem to be working out quite as he had planned, not where»the medico came into the picture. It was time to let Eklund know exactly what the situation was, and who was boss. Meanwhile, Stockett was in just the mood for what he wanted done. ITo Ee Continued)
