Republicans say that we are in a period of greatest prosperity. Still the records of Adams county show that we also are spending the moat money in the history of our county on welfare. It doesn't make sense! In another month Indiana high schools will turn to basketball for their principal athletic events of the winter months. More than seven hundred high school teams will start to sharpen up for the gruelling title games next spring and spring will come lots quicker than we can imagine right now. o o—Motorists are warned against throwing lighted cigarettes and cigars out of car windows. Most of the countryside is dry and a mere spark could cause a disastrous fire. The same warning has been issued on thrqwlng lighted cigarettes on lawns. Leaves could easily catch Are and the Are could spread to homes. —-o It's leaf raking time and city tracks are busy every day hanling the leaves away. Residents are cautioned not to burn the leaves on black-top streets. The city crew will take them away as quickly as possible. The raking attachment to the sweeper is not being used because of numerous complaints that it spreads dust and falls to gather up all of the leaves. o o Two college football games of interest here are on tap for Saturday. Notre Dame plays host to a weak Indiana University team, miserable in its first effort against lowa last Saturday. The game, however, always"* draws *a big crowd and attracts much interest because both teams represent Hoosier colleges. Notre Dame lost its only other start of the year to a fair Southern Methodist eleven, so no national title is at stake. The other game which promises all kinds of thrills is the annual battle of Michigan vs Michigan State. The Staters have been much in the front in national football the last few seasons and will give the Wolverines a battle all the way. Many Adams county fans are planning on seeing these games. O 0 Decatur has a number of women prominent in varied business activities. Mrs. Pauline Haugk, e— ; R Adams county’s only woman real estate agent, is becoming a com-

petitor in a field until recently considered a man’s job Mrs. Haugk, who has held'an agent's license for more than two years showed her ability last week by closing three real estate deals here. That is considered tar above average for a week’s work. Mrs. Haugk, secretary of Kent Realty and Auction Co. here, has been active in real estate deals for some time. She is a Decatur high school graduate and has been connected with the Kent concern for mores than six years. Despite the hours it takes to do her work. Mrs. Haugk also finds time for her house-work and engage in social activities. Her accomplishment dispels the “weaker sex” argument of women in business. o o—The City Council took an historic step last night. It voted to purchase part of Decatur’s much needed power from the IndianaMichigan corporation and appropriately turned the details of'completing a contract over the Board of Works. With cost of repairing or enlarging the local power plant estimated in the millions, the Council acted wisely. The decision certainly does not close the door to local manufacture of power and perhaps the time will come in the not too distant future when this city can again manufacture all of its power. There was an emergency, however, and the only economical way out was to negotiate with the giant private utility, so as not to penalize Decatur residents or Decatur industry. The Board of Works will meet immediately to iron out some minor differences in a contract which * ’..>■■><* O-l’ ■ _ , has been, Emitted. It is understood that only the power necessary will be purchased. The steam plant will be operated as long as is possible and the diesel plant will continue to furnish part of the City’s power. The I. and M. officials have been splendid in their relations with local officials and it is the general opinion that power now can be purchased at a cheaper rate than it can be manufactured locally. The Council’s decision was unanimous. The action means that everyone will have ample light and power. It will necesitate the spending of money for construction of a substation, but that expenditure will be small compared to the purchase of a-new plant. We are sure that when all the facts are known the public will agree that the City Fathers acted wisely.

Is it all right for a hostess to serve two or three dishes at a time, if she must do all the serving alone? A. Os course. Considerate guests would not criticize her for this, and of course she would not be serving if the dinner were formal. Q.

Still, there’s the fort” “And there’s such things as a knife in the back, from a man who pretends to be your friend," Eklund said drily. “It has happened before, Levi.” The mountain man's eyes were bright. “You’re gettin’ me int’rested,” he said.

They parted, and Eklund, mindful that the Indians might no longer be in a friendly mood, hid his buggy in a clump of brush and trees, and hobbled the extra horse near by. Then, riding the other, Indian style, he headed on west. Neither was aware of the third man who had crouched in a clump of brush and been an interested auditor.

Bain began to fall, a cold drizzle gradually thickening. Cottonwoods showed starkly, mostly denuded ot their leaves, and the edge of the long lower lake was ahead, with willows bending above it, bowed by a steady wind. A dog’s bark sounded, faint with distance, and Eklund hid his horse in the brush and proceeded on foot. It might still be safe for him t# boldXy gaXac Umi InoLum ra

But today there would be (suspicion as to why he came empty-handed, for once you gave a present to anyone. they automatically expected more. If his guess was correct, antagonism might follow when none was forthcoming. He preferred to have his look without being observed in turn, and presently he managed it. *»— This camp was hidden between low hills which in turn w ere dwarfed by the mountains beyond.

Wormilg ciose through dripping brush, careiu> to Keep the already stale ■ stents of the camp blowing into ' his own nostrils and his own away from the dogs, Eklund was enabled to peer across and through the flap of an open tepee, to see the brave who squatted i cross-legged within, gravely busy. He was bare from the waist up, and applying paint of varied colors in garish designs. War paint. Eklund had seen enough. Storm was making up. here in the West. And storm < ut ' ’ ' n could be twice as devastating. ' Retie&ung u- »y, he returned to where ne had left his cayuse. It was gone. He had left it nidden deep in a clump of tall brush, tied by a bridle relit. The bush to which the leather had been attached was bent, half-stripped of bark, and hoofmarks showed deep and told their own tale of terror. Something had frightened the horse, causing it to jerk frantically. so that the knot had slid as the bush bent, Anally pulling loose. 1 Off fifty feet he found the cause, the mark of < fear. The giant tracks of a grizzly show-ed fresh despite the rain. It had wandered this close, whether with nefarious intent or not was difficult to be sure, but Eklund decided that it had been passing by chance: If it had wanted horse for supper, it would have pursued, and a grizzly could Overtake and pull down a running cayuse within a short distance. The tracks did not indicate that the bear had tried to follow. But the terror it inspired had sent the horse away at a fas? run, despite the hampering reins.

Secretary Benson Delends Program Secretary Assails Democrat Charges HUNTLEY, 111. (UP) — Secretary of agriculture Ezra T. Benson said today the Elsenhower administration has “taken more constructive action for the benefit of the family farm” than any previous administration in years. He accused Democrats of making “deliberately misleading, carelestf and irresponsible statements” about the administration’s attitude towards the family farmer. "The facts reveal how utterly false and absurd are the chargee,” Benson said in a speech prepared (or dedication of the Thor research center for better farm living. The speech is the first of about 20 Benson will make on an 18-state West and a few eastern states. He swing through the farm belt, the will extend greetings to the American butter institute and attend an Illinois Chamber of Commerce lunch in Chicago Thursday. Benson said present farm prob- 1, lems have been building up for 10 years and cannot be solved overnight. “We can pull no magic rabbits from the hat — no administration can," he said. “But we are going in the right direction. Benson said some opponents of the GOP farm program are “more interested tn administering a sedative rather than a cure.” "Ther€ are those who have nothing more to offer than going back again to the same weary programs that already have brought so much grief, and so piuch of the cost-price squeeze, upon farmers,” he said. The agriculture secretary said the family farm is changing because a farmer no longer can operate successfully with "one mule and one plow.” He said enodern equipment requires more land for efficient production and this, in turn, reduces the number of farms. But he said more than eight million farmers left their farms during Democratic administrations from 1933 to 1952 while in the last two years the farm population has increased.
