Each week the field simmers down and die going gets tougher. Attendance is capacity at each tourney and interest grows as the field narrows. As favorites drop out and die field lessens, interest seems to get greater. We’re glad to have basketball take our minds off high taxes and we are glad that these young Hoosiers can handle the ball better than Gov. Handley has done. —o Membership solicitors for new members of the Adams county music association’s 1957-58 series of programs will receive final instructions next Monday.

I • I have been exaggerated. Because : of the vastness of the organizar tion, perhaps the Red Cross does ! have one or two rotten apples in r the barrel, but let’s not condemn • a great organization, merely because one little thing has been mis-administered. You hear every once in a while of a Minister running away with the choir leader, but that doesn’t mean the i whole Church is bad. Let’s all join the Red Cross and show the i world that Adams county is a s leader in good things. ! o o— — We had the privilege some few , days ago of talking with a young 1 lady from Berne-French high 1 school. Her name was Stella Von I Gunten and her demeanor was such that it would make you proud to live in Adams county and know that our people faced ’ life with reality and a philosophy which spells success. This young i lady, who later identified herself as a daughter of Fred VonGunten, president of the Berne Chamber i of Commerce and well known security salesman of Adams county. spoke highly of her school, her city and her Church and the impressive part of her conversation was that, while she was disappointed over the elimination of her basketball team from the recent tourney, she was glad they played a good game and she and her class mates hoped that Hartford would win. It is young men and women like this who soon will be the citizens of Adams county. We’re glad we live in such a community and we know ( that our young people with the school. Church and home training which they receive and make use of, will keep our community the greatest in the world. —

SYNOPSIS ~ „ Lieutenant Chad Endicott, a Civil War veteran, is irked when he is ordered from Sc Louis to establish an Army post in hostile Dakota Territory. For he must leave his fiancee, Elizabeth Tipton. daughter of General Tipton. and postpone their marriage for at least a year. Before he leaves, Chad warns Alvin Stiner. a wealthy trader and his rival for Elizabeth, to ; respect their engagement or he will kill him when he returns. Myra, funloving wife of Major Otto Grunwald, is in love with Stiner, and, although she knows be prefers Elizabeth, helps him plot against Chad. Meanwhile. Chad sails up the treacherous Missouri river with an infantry company commanded by Colonel Randall, who Is bringing his beautiful Spanish wife, Isabella. Chad doubts Randall's abilit y as a deader.- As the river boat makes its way slowly upriver to Indian territory. Zack Cubberly. a weather-beaten scout for the Army, tells Chad what to expect from the warlike Sioux. Back in St. Louis. Stiner. after a reasonable wait, starts his campaign to win Elizabeth. At about this time. Chad and his troops experience their first difficulty—the boat gets stuck on a sandbar. Before they can get clear, a band of Indians attack. But Chad and his troops drive them oft without casualties. Finally, after two months, they reach their destination. CHAPTER 10 COLONEL Randall selected a site for the fort on a slight eminence about one-third pt a mile from the liver's edge, noting carefully that the vision. in all directions was not obscured. With Chad's and Sergeant Mullvane's help, tie measured off a rectangle 280 fey 300 leeL —- — “There you are, Lieutenant,” Randall said. "Before you lies the outline of Fort Butterfield." "Fort Butterfield,” Chad repeated. "1 wondered what you were going to call it. I hope General Butterfield will be proud of his namesake." "He should,” Randall sakl, smiling. "It isn't every day somebody names a fort after you.” "We’ll do our best to make the old hero of Gettysburg proud of it, sir,” Chad added. Randall turned to Mullvane. "Sergeant, name the six best fighting men we have.” Mullvane grinned as he took the short-sreinmed, black briar out of his mouth. His brash courage was often more of a liability, than an asset. Because of it, he had lost the commission he'd held during the war. He had worked back up to top kick of the outfit, but he was not satisfied. The ambition to regain his shoulder bars was a driving urge in him. "Six fighting men, is it, sir?" Mullvane murmured. "Higgins, O’Hara, Donovan, Flannigan, Rourke.” i Randall pressed, "Qne more, | Sergeant.”

Mu 11 va n e laughed shortly. “Schmidt." "All right," Randall said. "Now, 1 propose to build a fort, Sergeant. In order to protect us from a sneak attack, you will station the men you just named around this area.” "Yes, sir," Mullvane said. “Organize them at once," Randall ordered. “You will be directly responsible to Lieutenant Endicott.” Mullvane said, "Yes, sir,” saluted, and strode away. Randall was silent for a moment, his eyes on Chad. He seemed to radiate a confidence that had not been apparent during the trip up the river. He bore himself well, and his blue uniform became him. He still wore a campaign hat as he had in the recent war, and now it sat jauntily on his well-shaped head. His face was only slightly tanned, leaving the impression that he had spent a good deal of time at a desk. His Dundreary whiskers added just the right touch. He looked, Chad thought, exactly as a colonel should look. The weakest part of his whole appearance was a pair of watery, light-blue eyes, sunk much too deeply in his head. They bothered Chad. He thought he saw indecision in them. “You probably are not aware that 1 personally selected you for this assignment,” Randall said. "I know your war record. It's ■ good. 1 did not find any trace iof Mullvane’s fault Courage without a balancing element of : caution is a bad thing in a soldier." "Thank you, sir,” Chad said, ’ shocked by the knowledge that it was Randall who had separated him from Elizabeth. ’ "It will be your duty to see that Mullvane does not get out of hand," Randall went on. "I • will assume the responsibility for • the construction of the post, but your job is equally important We : have a few horses and a small ■ beef herd. The Sioux will certainly try to run our stock Off. i I’m sure you don’t need to be told , how important it is that we keep : them.” : "1 understand, sir.” ■ "Take a detail of men and i erect a corral for the stock. Later on, you will see that enough wild I hay is cut to get our animals through the winter." He smiled ' briefly. "I’m sure that our work , here will put both of us another , notch up the ladder. As you know, wc had no hope as long , as we rotted in Jefferson Barracks.”

School For Church Ushers Next Week Unique School Opens At Berne Thursday Next week will be unique for many churches in this area. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. March 14, 15, and 16, church ushers from many churches in the community and surrounding cities will meet at 7 p.m. in the First Mdhnonite Church of Berne, for an intensive short course in church ushering. "The school for church ushers,” as it is called, was founded by Everett M. Hosman, dean of adult education at the University of Omaha. Dean Hosman will be present and will conduct the school. The school has been filling a latent but unexpressed need in this field. Generous and favorable recognition has been given the school in various church papers, national magazines, and newspapers. Study will be given during the course to ushering as a specialized function in audience or congregational engineering, the usher’s psychology for meeting people, and the courtesies the church-goer expects. Also included in the course is a study of the usher’s relationship to his church, an understanding of what the minister excepts from his ushers, and the proper organization of an ushering staff. The school is open to all church ushers who wish to take advantage of this specialized training. The school is free except for a small registration fee. Howard Culp, of Berne, is serving as registrar. 0 -s 0 Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE o 6 Q. What can a girl say when her friends ask her about a certain young man with whom she went for quite a long time until the friendship was recently dissolved? A. The best thing to say in this ■ case, “I haven’t seen him recent- ’ ly,” and then speak quickly of • something else. Q. Is it the duty of the person who is pouring the tea to put the sugar into the guest's cup? A. Yes: but she should, of course, ' ask how much sugar is desired. Q. On which arm of her father does the bride proceed down the pisle of the church? A. On his right arm.

•!», sir," Chad said, and ' saluted. As he'walked away from the Colonel, Chad could not help feeling resentful. He had not objects ed to rotting in Jefferson Barracks, as Randall had put it. But there was something in what Randall had said about promotion. If a man got ahead, this would be the place to do it. He should be grateful to Randall, but he wasn’t • * • The first hint of trouble came near the end of the week. One moaning shortly after work had been started on the stockade, Zack, who was continually on the prowl, slipped out of a grove of cottonwoods that lay upriver from the fort and crossed the intervening space in a leggy lope. Chad called to Mullvane, ordering him to bring the pickets in. ' Then he turned to Randall, who was overseeing a Crew that was employed in digging a trench and lifting the cottonwood logs into a line that would eventually form the stockade. •‘Something’s up," Chad said. Randall nodded, his gaze on the approaching scout. "We’ll be having company right shortly," Zack said when tie came up to Randall. A surprise attack might have i started a panic, for many of .the men had never been under fire, and none of them except Corporal i Tolliver had had any experience » in Indian fighting except for tne ■ brush they’d had on the MoZZy I McClain. , Randall ordered his men to seek protection behind piles of logs , and the partially completed stock- : ade. He sent the women into a I small rectangle composed of sacks and crates of supplies, i snapping at them, "Lie flat and : stay flat until this is over." He ; whirled to face Zack. "How much ■ of a fight is this going to be?" "Not much,” Zack said, as casi ually as if this were an everyday [ occurrence. “Ain’t no large body of Sioux in these parts. 1 flgger this is a band that’s been campin’ : around Fort Blaine and they’re > just aimin’ to try us out a leetle. They’re in for a mite of a surprise when they find out your I boys have got them new Springfield fifties.” For once, Chad thought, somei one, maybe Otto Grunwald, had seen to it that these men were properly armed. The new breechloading Springfields were both fast and accurate. This was a good time for the Sioux to discover that. j fTo Be Continued/
