County clerk Richard Lewton is daily receiving applications for absent voters ballots. Many of our county's men in service are exercising their right to vote. Will you? It is everyone’s duty and privilege to vote. o o Commissioner B. J. Clark and his street department personnel are busy these days collecting leaves from all the city's streets. An interesting home made device, which creates a vacuum does the work of several men and is very effective in gathering leaves and even discarded beer cans. The device proves most emphatically that it was not necessary to spend more than *7,000 a year ago to purchase the piece of leaf gathering equipment which stirs up so much dust It has proved impractical. ■ .—o o If the musical presentation at the Youth and Community Center Monday night was a sample of things to come, the people of Adams county are in for some wonderful nights of entertainment Those who did not buy season tickets for the five-perform-ance musical entertainment no doubt will be disappointed and it appears that already the Center will be too small to accommodate those desiring tickets in 1957. We congratulate the county Music association for the selection of their first program. .X- —o —° — -—- Advertisements for bids will be ready soon on the addition and improvement at Adams county Memorial hospital* Architects have done a fine job and the trustees, MkpttttWsoniiM ihd local Doctors believe that when com? pleted this hospital will be second to none in northern Indiana. Work will start this fall and it will probably take about a year to complete all the work. Entrance will be at the east side as at present, bnt plans call for new waiting rooms and offices to be attached to the present entrance in order to conserve the present first floor bed space. In addition to new rooms, laboratories, office r space and operating rooms, there will be new plumbing, heating —— and air conditioning. It will be a fine modern structure to provide the best possible care for our sick.

Please don’t burn leaves and rubbish and for your own safety and that of others abide by the recent order of Fire Chief Fisher. Q (J— Fire, the great destroyer, visited Decatur Monday afternoon, and completely razed the large warehouse in the west part of Decatur, leaving in its wake a loss of more than *IOO,OOO, shared by Central Soya, Bag Service and Decatur Industries, the three firms which used the structure. Officials of all three of the local industries are far sighted meh, who have no fears of destruction and we are sure they w|U start immediately to the task of rebuilding their present losses. Decatur j.XS'X-V '*-• •; KJ- * firemen and the Soya Volunteers should receive the hearty thanks of Decatur citizens for their successful efforts in restraining the big loss to the single building. More than fifty volunteers also aided in salvaging a small part of stored material. We can’t be too careful, especially during this period of the year when, the community has been without rain for a good many weeks and the entire area is dangerously dry and combustible. X . o o Spiritual Emphasis week, annual series of religious meetings sponsored by the Associated Churches of Decatur will start next Sunday night with the Rev. William Hill, pastor of the Brookside Evangelical United Brethren church of Indianapolis as guest speaker. These public services, conducted nightly, except Saturday will be held at the First Methodist church here with ministers of local participating churches assisting. There is no fanfare or frills, it is a period devoted to Christian thinking and meditation. Rev. Hill is reputed to be an outstanding speaker. —You are Invited to attend these services, any of them. And you who attend will be the beneficiaries. Clubs and men’s and women’s organizations have been asked to set their meetings next week so as not to conflict with the Spiritual Emphasis services, giving everyone an opportunity to attend. The large auditorium at the Methodist church should be filled to overflow each night.

CHAPTER 32 "ITS a risky business, your go1 ing alone Into the Indian « eamp at such a time,” Blake pointed out to gtafwy. ' ~ "Sure it’s risky. But It’s the only way—the only chance there is. To save Narcissa, 1 mean, and maybe do more than that And I figure I can handle the situation.” “You have my permission to try,” Biake agreed. "Under the circumstances. I can’t do anything else, and I appreciate what you are attempting. If we had ummunitioh with which to fight * war, or even one good battle, ft might be a different story,” he »dded meaningly. Kinney shook his head regretfully. ”1 know what you mean,”i he agreed. "And while you haven’t said so, Major, 1 figure that this is all my fault, bur being eaught short the way we are. Like 1 told you, the invoices ahowed everything shipped as ordered. But when it comes to unloading, those supplies we needed most weren’t in the wagons. I’ve sent a mighty hot letter back, and men to try and trace where the boxes might have been rtde-tracked. Providin’ they were.” “What do you mean?" "Quien sabeT” Kinney shrugged. “Such things don’t just happen by accident." “And we’re faced with trouble and nothing to put in our guns!’’ McKinstry interjected grimly. “That seems to be the size of it, Captain,” Kinney agreed. "Which is just one more reason why I aim to try and stop this thing short of a real bustout!” He looked around, nodded. “Since you’re agreeable, Major, I won’t waste any more time. I’m startin’ —now!” “And he’s gone,” McKinstry reported to Eklund, a few minutes later. Technically,, since he was an officer and Eklund a prisoner, he supposed that he shouldn't .visit him without permission from the major. On the other hand, Eklund was his friend, and with bis vital art interest in what fras transpiring as any man could have. Also, if he were to ask permission, McKinstry knew that it would be granted. Eklund looked at him gravely. He’d had time to do a lot, of thinking sipce being locked up, and now things were beginning to fall into place, events fitting as in a pattern. “Bill,” he said, "I’m a prisoner —and held under several mighty serious charges. But your coming here this way makes me' sure of what I’ve figured all along—that you’re,my friend!" “You’re, right about that,” McKinstry agreed. “And I’m proud to call you mine. Doc. As for

tnese accusations against yon — well, all I can say is that, if I was in charge here, Td take a different course.” “Thanks. Now I can go ahead and talk. I suppose the wires have been cut?” "Within the last hour, yes. It looks like a migjity bad situation, and getting worse. The only hope I can see is in Kinney—and ordinarily I’d think he was a mighty shaky stick to lean on.” “There’s no hope in him," Eklund agreed quietly. “I’ll give him credit for one thing, Bill He's gone out there to try and save Narcissa, because I guess that, in his way, he thinks a lot of her. And he figures he can rescue her merely by sayin’ the word. You see, he’s the man the chief takes orders from—or he has, up to now.” "You’re suggestin’ something that I’ve been doing a lot of wondering about," McKinstry said. “What’s the rest of It?” "Kinney’s been running guns and whiskey to the Indians. I know because I helped do it At least with the whiskey. I balked when it came to guns, and that’s why he turned me in to the major, like he threatened. I don’t know just how far he’d aimed to go, but considerin’ that ammunition and other needed supplies haven’t comb through for the army, I figure he was going all the way.” “That pretty wen jibes with what Td suspected. But why, if he’s got that much influence there, do you say there’s no hope in him?" “Because the situation isn’t what it was. Oates was runnin’ guns for him, and when he was caught, Kinney tried to doublecross him and get him killed. He figured that Oates wouldn’t be of any more use to him; also that he might talk, under pressure. It didn’t work. Oates got away, and he’s rememberin’ that double cross. He’s pushed things far and pretty fast Which shows he has ability and the ear of the chief. There’ll be a showdown when Kinney gets there. And, one way or another, Oates’ will win.” McKinstry eyed him in horror. “You make it sound as logical as the rules of war," he groaned. "But, good lord, man, don’t yousee what this means? If pates wins that showdown. It’s not only the finish for Narcissa, but for al) of us! We’ve nothing to fight with, and they'll go all out!" “Unless they can be stopped, before it gets started,” Eklund agreed quietly. For the last few minutes, McKinstry had emulated his superior, striding up anddown the confines of the guardhouse. while the

O , ■ U , f Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE Q ... - — "-O Cleaning Panama Hats Panama hats may be cleaned very successfully with cold water, a clean sponge, and some white soap. Place the hat on a clean surface and wash it thoroughly; then rinse in clear cold water to remove the suds and wipe with a dry cloth. Go over the hat and reshape it with the hands. Easier Washing The easiest way to wash a bean pot or badly stained casserole is to put a handful of borax into it, fill with hot water and stand in the oven for a while. The browned parts will wash right out after this, soaking. Brunette Hair A tar shampoo is just the thing to add a delightful gloss to dark hair. o X — < Modern Etiquette .1 BY ROBERTA LEE o■ — o Q. When you are going to have a large number of guests at a bridal shower, is it all right to stipulate “linen” to some of them, “kitchen” to others, and perhaps to others? A. No; it is best just to call it a “bridal shower,” and allow the guests to choose what they please. Q. Should hard cheese and pickles be eaten with the fingers or fork? A. Hard cheese is eaten with the fingers. Small whole pickles may be eaten with the lingers. Mixed pickles are usually eaten with the fork. Q. When a girl is introducing the man to whom she is engaged, should she speak of him as her fiance? ■ --—X ——— A. Yes.

lantern smoked on a tattle. Now he checked. “How do you mean, stopped?" he demanded. "If Dolf Kinney can’t do it, who can?” Eklund’s smile was gentle, calculating, while be remained seated and drummed on the edge of the table with his fingers. “Maybe nobody,” he conceded. “It won’t be easy. But I figure that there’s a chance. Td like to try, Bill.” “You!" McKinstry collapsed into another chair opposite. “You really think there’s a chance that you could do something—if you were loose to try?" : “J think it’s the best, and maybe the only chance, for everybody, ” Eklund agreed. “I’m a doctor, Bill. The only medico in this whole country now. And there are certain factors that might be on my side." “Do you want me to go to the major and ask him to give you a chance? I’ll do it if you say so, but it won’t do a damned bit of good. He’s a soldier by the book —and it’d be ag’in regulations!" "And he’s never learned to be human," Eklund supplied. "No, I know it would be a waste of breath to approach him, Bill. I think we’ve both sized him up right It’s up to you. That’s why I asked if you were my friend. It’s not a thing that I like to ask—but there are bigger things than duty to a superior officer.” McKinstry was silent a while. His answer, when it came, was mildly surprising. “It just happens that I know something about what you’re in for, Erd,” he said. “I didn’t guess that you were Davidson, but I was there at Chickamauga —back in '63. In fact, though I don’t believe that you even knew the nUfhe of the man who was to face your firing squad, which you refused to command —I happen to be the man. You thoughtfully chucked all the papers relating to the case in the fire when you left, and that caused confusion and delay, as you hoped it would. “Which resulted in a new> investigation, and I was cleared. I thought of telling the major the facts as I know them, but of course what happened to me wouldn’t help you in his eyes. You were guilty of gross derelic- , tion of duty, of desertion. Well, I I’n» ready to be guilty of one or both, with the stakes a lot more Important. Do 1 just let'you out of here, or do I go with you?” ~j - “For the present, you’d better come along with me,” Eklund decided. “Not to the Indian camp. Bill, but to town. I have a bunch that 1 want to investigate, before doing anything else.” ; l I —(Tv Bo CooMmhcAL j
