There is • rumor of a return of winter over the coming weekend, but these late demonstrations. sometimes pretty severe, hardly ever last very long. o Drive carefully these spring week-ends. With nicer weather each week, more automobiles will be on the roads and that means more danger. .o o — Slowly, the metropolitan newspaper sports pages are filling with news from baseball training eamps as basketball and other sports fade out of the picture. In six weeks the great national pasttime will be the big sports topic. o o Schools in Adams county are planning their Commencement exercises and it won’t be long until another summer vacation •will be hefe. Yoiing people of the county are each year learning more and more the importance of advanced education and the percentage of high school graduates who attend colleges grows each year. This is true in both rural and urban areas. Scholarships and endowments make attending college attractive. The day may soon come when attending College will be just as necessary as attending high school is now. ■ O— — 0 Senator Alexander Wiley, Republican of Wisconsin, has recently introduced a bill called the juvenile delinquency control act.

- The city street department and city highway employes are starting their spring street and road repair work. Bad chuck holes are being filled and there are strips of new asphalt on numerous county roads and Decatur streets. Outdoor building activities have started and these things are a sure harbringer of spring.

The moral responsibility of dog owners is clearly established in the 22 year old city ordinance controlling roaming cannines. Under the ordinance, the owner will have to pay tor any damage done by the dog before its release will be obtained, in addition to a $1 service charge for catching the dog and boarding it until called for. A loose dog might easily result in a serious civil suit against the owner for injury or damage. Mayor Cole is to be commended for taking action to set up a dog pound. The pound will eliminate the necessity of destroying dogs on th espot before the owner can claim them. Dog owners who allow their pets to make a nuisance of themselves may also be fined up to $lO, plus costs.

Christians differ in their method of keeping Lent. Yet each keeps it as his own faith and conscience dictates. When St. Paul wrote his letter from Corinth to the Romans about 54 A.D., the church at Rome was bitterly divided between former Jews who ate only food clean under Jewish law, and former pagans, who did not observe Jewish custonis. St. Paul wrote, in chapter 14, “Let not him who eats despise him who abstains, and let not him who abstains pass judgment on him who eats; for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own Master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Master is able to make him stand.” This advice, 1900 years old, is still valid. Let’s all give up hate and intolerance for Lent.

I The People’s Voice * This column is for the use of I our readers who wish to make | suggestions for the general I good or discuss questions of j interest No articles will be published without signature of the author. o 0 For Sewage Plant Dear Editor: “I’ve read the editorials in the "Democrat” ever since I could read snd always found them to be adult statements, even though I didn’t always agree with them. However, Monday’s edition (March 4) carried some very rash statements that really surprised me. They couldn’t be attributed to senility or immaturity of the writer! I would like to think they were written in sheer impulsive thoughtlessness. Concerning the violation of delivery trucks and other parking problems on main street, I agree with you that it is a safety hazard and somthing should be done about it. Frankly, a parked truck even though left unattended and double parked on a yellow line and blocking a water hydrant is big enough to be seen by any motorist driving withing the zone’s speed limit and could be passed with little danger to himself or others. These offenders can be picked up and fined if necessary. My idea would be for the traffic police to watch and try to catch those drivers that drive too fast on cur side streets—take off like they were jet propelled and try to turn corners on two wheels — hoping the curbing will keep the car upright! The last two statements in the editorial are the rash statements that caused me to write this letter. Quoting you, “Perhaps from a safety standpoint, it would be better for our city to hwve more police officers than a sewage disposal plant. A million dollars would hire one or two policemen for a long time,” end of quote. How can ypu compare such a traffic hazard with the jeopardization of the health of more than eight thousand people??? A million dollars wouldn’t look so big when weighed against an epedemic of some disease coused by improper sanitation. Sure, the sewage disposal plant will cost a million dollars now, it could have been built for one third of the present cost and the state health department advised the “city fa-

SYNOPSIS !( Lieutenant Chad Endicott, a Civil ■ « War veteran, is irked when he is ordered from St. Louis to establish v an Army post In hostile Dakota Territory. For he must leave his fiancee. Elizabeth Tipton. daughter of General I Tipton. and postpone tneir marriage c tor st least a year. Before he leaves. Chad warns Alvin Stiner. a wealthy S trader and his rival for Elizabeth, to e respect their engagement or he will kill him when he returns. Myra, fun- I loving wife of Major Otto Grunwald. . is In love with Stiner, and. although she knows he prefers Elizabeth, helps 1 him plot against Chad. Meanwhile. , Chad sails up the treacherous Mis- - sour) river with an Infantry company < commanded by Colonel Randall, who is bringing his beautiful Spanish wife. Isabella. Chad doubts Randall s I ability as a leader. As the river boat < make* its way slowly upriver to In- . dian territory. Zack Cubberly. a 1 weather-beaten scout for the Army, tells Chad what to expect from the warlike Sioux. Back in St. Louis. 1 Stiner. after a reasonable wait, starts | his campaign to win Elizabeth. At . about this time. Chad and his troops 1 experience their first difficulty—the 1 boat gets stuck on a sandbar. ( CHAPTER 9 j CHAD watched the crew of the < river boat take stations near ; ■ set of upright spars rigged at ; the bow. Many times he had wondered what these awkwardMooking timber* were. They reminded nlm of telegraph poles. As the MoUy McClain struggled futilely to make headway, he saw the ends of the poles slip into the water and go to the bottom of the , river. Zack, coming up behind Chad, said, "Reckon we’re fixin’ to take <jut ’cross the prairie for a spell, Loo tin ant?” “I was wondering,” Chad said. Chad watched with intense interest Slowly the deck engine took up slack in the lines and presently the bow lifted. Snorting, the small engine ground patiently at, the lines and ever so ; slowly the bow came up. ‘‘Now what do you know about that!” Chad said in amazement "Lifting. the old tub right out of the river.” Suddenly, splinters flew from the deck not far from the deck engine. Chad heard the faint crack of a rifle, almost drowned out by the commotion made by the Molly McCiain in her frantic effort* to cross the bar. He spun around. A b'and of Indians had appeared and were running their ponies along the bank. The air was suddenly filled with their bullets. Chad wheeled back to Zack, but the scout was gone. Then Chad glimpsed him as he dropped down on the deck below, on the side of the vessel away, from the firing. When Chad reached him, Zack said, "Them ornery beggars have been fdlienn’ us, just waitin' ter us to get hung up. They don't know how many troops we've got aboard, or they’d let us alone. | v C t'Aiti. Hour. & Curl. lac., pi

thers” to do so then. They were talked out of going into debt for something they weren’t forced to build then — so now we must pay the extra price for such nearsightedness. I’m surprised we have gotten along to this day without a major public health problem, but one could arise tomorrow! Please, reconsider your statements and I’m sure you will agree they were foolish and should be corrected. If tax money is to be spent let it be for something that will do the most people good and in the meantime we could endeavor to correct traffic hazards by improving our own driving methods and seeing that our children aren't allowed to drive until they learn the laws and are taught good driving methods.

Git your boys out mere wnere they can see ’em. Lootinant. They won’t hang around long.” Chad ran along the deck, bellowing orders. In a matter of seconds. the decks were alive with soldiers. Colonel Randall appeared on deck, and Captain Grant, master of the Molly McClain, ran toward him, calling, “They may try to board us, Colonel. Have your men keep a steady fire at the fed —." By that time Chad had a dozen men in action. “Stay clown,” he ordered. "Keep your .guns working." Zack was right. There weren’t more than fifty Indians in the band, and as soon as they saw how many soldiery were aboard the Molly McClain they started off across the prairie, their ponies in a dead run. Chad said, “Well, that was short and sweet.” He grinned at Sergeant Mullvane. "First lime we’ve heard bullets sing for quite a while, isn’t It, Sergeant?" Mullvane banged the butt of his rifle against the deck and swore. “First time I had a shot at an Injun, and what did 1 have to shoot at? Nothing but a hand and foot while they was close enough to hit" Zack appeared, his jaws working on a chew of tobacco. He said, “You know somethin’. Sarge? Afore you leave this country, you’ll have all the Indians to shoot at you want.”

Mullvane's big head tipped forward, glaring St Zack. “Where was you yvhen the bullets was flying—hiding somewhere?”

“Sure.” Zack’s hand slid downward to the belted knife tie wore on his right side. “Crawled down into a hole. I figgered you boys was paid to do the fightin'. Me, I’ve shot at“ a passel of Injuns in my time.” “All right, Sergeant,” Chad said. Mullvane drifted away, scowling, and Chad turned to Zack. “Born ornery, the sergeant was. Don’t worry about him.” “It was him worryin’, Lootinant,” Zack said, "not me." Chad, studying the scout’s lean, weather-burned face, decided that Mullvane had come very close to being cut up. He asked, "Sioux?" “That’s what they was, all right. Country's full of ’em generally When you ain’t lookin’ tor ’em. Mostly Minniconjou. and Hunkpapa. , The Ogalialas and Brules out further south, down as far as the Platte.” By this time the Molly McClain's bow had been raised sufficiently to get it off the bar and the paddle wheel was tearing at the water.- She edged forward;

then she was free, and the banks were moving by again. Zack sprayed tobacco juice over the rail. “I'm figgerin we’U run into Red Cloud and his bunch mebbe afore the Colonel ggts that fort of his built.”

“But once we get it up, we ought to make out,” Chad said. ■ - Zack gave him a close took. “Yeah, we’ll make out if we stay inside* our little fort. And what •good does that do? And tell me •somethin' else. What good is the Infantry when it comes to figntin’ Injuns? You seen how them boys rode today. Gonna chase em on foot?” It was a question which had long been in Chad’s mind. But you didn’t ask questions in the army. Day after day the Molly McClain struggled upriver, fighting dust storms that almost obscured the river, and at one time waiting an entire day for a nerd of buffalo to cross the river. Then the waiting was over. On the third of June, Fort Blaine came in sight. After a brief stop, the boat was turned around and headed downstream. Colonel Randall stood next to the pilot nouse, watching the terrain carefully. Eight miles below Fort Blaine he made a quick gesture, indicating to Captain Grant that he had found the location he sought. “Stand by to plant the dead man,” Captain Grant bawled, and headed the vessel’s bow into th* mud bank. Th*- men scrambled ashore, dragging a heavy pole. Quickly they dug a hole in the bank, which at this point was devoid of trees, and planted the timber. When the job was finished, a line was secured to the mooring post, The Molly McClain let off steam and swung lazily in the river’s current. ' For two days the boars crew and the soldiers were busy unloading personal belongings, guns „ powder, food, and sundry sup- ■ plies for the two companies ol the Fifteenth Infantry that would make their home here deep ir Dakota Territory.

In a tew moments the river boat was gone. Chad suddenly felt lonely. Foi almost two months the Molly McClain had been his home. Now he had no home. He deaided il was awfully quiet in Dakota.

Ex-GOP Chairman Praised Al Party Ike Boosts Hall As New York Governor WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower's advocacy of former GOP National Chairman Leonard Hall for governor of New York appeared today to have headed off a possible serious party rift. Mr. Eisenhower joined with party leaders in praising Hall Thursday night at a reception in Hall’s honor. The President coupled his praise with his unprecedented boost for Hall as a possible candidate for governor of New York. The President acted to head off a possible rift only a few hours after his press conference remarks earlier in the day had caused some resentment within the party. Mr. Eisenhower startled a number of party stalwarts with an off-hand remark to reporters that it was “news” to him that Hall might want a high post in the government.' The remark added fuel to complaints of some of Hall’s most loyal friends among the GOP “old guard” that the former national chairman had been deliberately shunted to the sidelines. White House spokesmen at the time of Hall’s departure from the national committee had said the President looked forward to the continued service of Hall in public life. That appeared to be a clear indication that a federal job was awaiting him. Hall, who directed the GOP to its landslide presidential victory last year, had refused comment on the President's remark that there was no “prospective vacancy” in the administration for him. But friends said he was hurt and somewhat bitter. However, Hall left no doubt today, that he was delighted with Mr. Eisenhower's statement at the reception Thursday night that “if Len Hall wants to run for governor of New York he’s going to have one booster in me.” Hall said he still had not decided whether to seek the New York GOP gubernatorial nomination next year.
