You will feel better all week. • »■- o-.— The March 15 resume of business conditions for the nation prepared by expert analysts of the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago, is not as optimistic as previous reports. National earnings have dropped considerably and numerous factories are operating at only part capacity. The situation does not seem to alarm the experts yet, but they are admitting they are taking a new look at business conditions in general. ■ o .■<>—- The two cents a gallon increase in gasoline tax has now been added to your bill and every time you buy gasoline, you’ll be paying two cents more per gallon in state tax. We still are of the opinion that the tax was increased because it is an easy way to raise money. No one has actually said exactly how the money would be used or how much would return for local use. Chairman Peters ought to have a circus with all those funds, and reportedly such a self-admitted honest fellow. —O-—-O There will be no closed season on pan fish, including blue gills, sunfish and crappies this spring in Indiana streams and lakes. The open season also includes bass, pike and wall eyes. There will not be a size limit on the pan fish, but the regular bag limit will, be enforced. A majority of the fishermen in Northern Indiana hail the order. There are a ~few who disagree and favor a return to the closed seasons.

There never has been any proof submitted, however, to show that our lakes are being outfished or mistreated. The conservation department is to be commended on making its decision early, so boat and bait store operators can plan their spring schedules. O' ' Students, school patrons and everyone in Decatur are proud of the victory of Paul Schmidt, Decatur high school young man, which has advanced him to the finals of the American Legion annual oratorical contest Mr. Schmidt will compete at French Uck high school next Friday afternoon with three other Indiana high school champions for the ytate title. Interest has been high in the contest this year from the very beginning and student gupport in the event has been Wonderful. At the district meeting at Fort Wayne and again at the regional event at Marion, the Decatur entry was greeted by many of his fellow* students. It has been most encouraging to the speaker but it also speaks well for our school, showing that interest in an oratorical contest can be built as high as an athletic event The Daily Democrat received many telephone calls this week inquiring about the debating results. The point we would like to is that we all recognize a chasm-" pion, whether it be in sports, literary accomplishments or debating, and we like for our city to win. We’re proud of those who have shown so much interest in this year's contests and we hope Mr. Schmidt's boosters grow into a large army. It speaks well for the school, its officials and faculty members and it adds encouragement to the contestant

Elizabeth Tipton, daughter of General Tipton. and postpone their marriage tor at least a year. Before he leaves. Chad warns Alvin Stiner, a wealthy trader and his rival for Elisabeth, 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 he prefers Elizabeth, helps him plot against Chad. Meanwhile. Chad sails up the treacherous Missouri river with an ihfantry company commanded by Colonel Randall, who Is bringing his beautiful Spanish wife. Isabella Chad doubts Randall's ability as a leader. 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 SL Louis. Stiner. after a reasonable wait, starts his campaign to win Elizabeth. At about this time, Chad and bis 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 off without casualties. Finally, after two months they reach their destination. As they start to build their fort, the Indians threatened an attack. Sergeant Mullvane defies Chad with insubordination, and Chad challenges him to a fist fight to restore discipline. CHAPTER 12 THE sun was still showing above the horizon when Chad drifted down the slope toward the river. MuUvane had already gone on ahead. Chad went past the lawmill and into the timber, and a moment later reached an open space between the cottonwoods and the river. Willows ihade a thick Screen along the edge of the stream. Mullvane, stripped to the waist, was waiting for him. “I didn't think you’d show, Lieutenant I was just making a bet with myself you didn’t have the guts.” “I don’t like you any better than you like me, Sergeant,” Chad said, “but Tm neither prejudiced nor stupid enough to discount your courage. Why do you discount mine?’’ t “Because you’re fixed up real pretty, Genera* Tipton gonna be your father-in-law like he is,” Mullvane st# bittorly. “Bi»t me, I don't have the right woman.”, He tapped his barrel chest., Tm a good soldier. They robbed me when they took my shoulder bars and I’ll get ’em back if it’s the last thing 1 do.” Chad stripped down. “If we were back in Jefferson Barracks, I'd have you rotting in the guardhouse. Up here, I can't. We need every man we’ve got, and we’ll need a lot more next spring than we do now.” “When 1 get done with you, the Colonel will give me your bars

because you wont oe no gooa to him. Or to the General’s girl, either.” Chad said, “I haven’t told you why I’m here. You were an officer once, so you know how important discipline is. We can’t have it, with you being insolent every time you open your mouth to me. I’m going to lick you, and after this you’ll keep a deceht tongue in your head, or I’ll build a guardhouse and keep you in it until I get a chance to ship you back to SL Louis.” Mullvane threw his big head back and laughed. “Gonna lick me, are you, Lieutenant? AU right, I’ll make the bargain you want, but you’ve got to lick me first, and you ain’t man enough to do IL” Mullvane started toward Chad. He was a bull of a man, shorter than Chad but a good deal heavier, his arms and back knotty with hard muscle. Chad saw the pleasure in the Irishman’s eyes, the brutal anticipation, and he knew this was going to be more than he had counted on. He was fighting for his life. They made a complete circle, each eyeing the other, and,then Mullvane shouted, “Come on, Lieutenant. Open the ball.” Chad feinted with his left, and drove his right. to the side of Mullvane's head. It was like hitting the trunk of a cottonwood. The Sergeant let out a great laugh. "That the best you can do, Lieutenant?” he roared, and drove at Chad. They traded blow for blow. There was no sound except their feet in the sandy soil, the thud of fists, the heavy pull of air into their lungs. Slowly MuUvane began to back up. Chad worked on his stomach and kidneys, having found out that Mullvane’s head was harder than his own fists. The sergeant threw great, looping punches. Out of nowhere, one of them caught Chad on the side of the head and knocked him sprawling. MuUvane let out a squall and threw himself forward. Chad brought his feet up and out, catching Mullvane in the head, the crack of boots on skull sounding like the fall of a great maul on a wedge. The Irishman’s neck bent, his head swinging back against one shoulder, and he came down hard on his belly. Chad was on Mullvane, his knees striking the sergeant in the small of the back, sledging him on the neck. Mullvane reared up on his hands and kneee and fell sideways. Chad scrambled

free, got up and fell and got up again, and backed away. Mullvane was slow getting to his feet. Chad was on him before he was fully upright. Mullvane was hurt. He showed it in his face and his eyes. Chad rocked hit head with rights and lefts, but Mullvane did not fall. The man was a bear. He was bleeding from a dozen cuts, one eye was closed, his lips were puffy and bruised. Mullvane came toward him, his head rocked from • one side to the other as Chad caught him with blow after blow. Mullvane threw a fist that missed, taking everything Chad had to give, then he scored with a right and Chad went down. He started to get up, but Mullvane kicked him in the side and knocked him flat. He rolled and came up on his hands and knees. Again Mullvane gave him his boot, but this time Chad caugnt his foot and brought him down. Chad was lunging toward him when the arrow whispered past to bury its point in the ground. Chad forgot Mullvane, forgot everything except that he was out here in the open, a target for every Sioux that was up there in the timber.' Mullvane, too, had seen the arrow, and now he was plunging toward the timber, calling, “Come on, Lieutenant.” Chad got to his feet. A rifle cracked from somewhere beyond Mullvane, and Zack came running out of the trees and raced past Chad. Chad lunged toward his revolver, pulled it out of the holster and whirled to see where Zack * had gone. He stood there, the trees and sky and river all turning in front of him in a crazy Ijlur. Chad leaned against a tree ana wiped his sweaty face with his hand. There was blood on it when he looked at it. He found it hard to breathe, and now, with his back against the cottonwood, he wasn't sure whether he had the strength to stand by himself. Mullvane said thickly, "You didn’t lick me, Lieutenant.” Chad looked at Mullvane, who was Sitting up, blood and sweat rolling down his face. Then Zack was there. "You fools,” he said. "You lunkheaded fools. Next time you want to fight, don't sneak off by yourself where the Sioux can cut you down." “He says I didn’t lick him,” Chad said. Zack laughed. "You look licked to me, Mullvane” He stopped. "Well, here comes the army” ’ (To Be Continued} ..Jbh

$75 Million Annually Added To Tax Costs

INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana Legislature of 1957 probably will be remembered best for adding about 75 million dollars to the annual burden of Hoosier taxpayers. When the 90th General Assembly closed up shop Thursday after running 50 hours overtime, it had adopted a record 790 million dollar budget for the next two years and added increased gasoline and gross income taxes and the withholding method of paying the latter as its most important accomplishments. Os course, only motorists will pay the gasoline tax. But figuring that most every family has a motor vehicle, the extra tax levies will mean that each Hoosier —including babes in arms—will foot the bill for an average of sls or sl6 more each year in taxes in the future than he does now. Gas Tax Up Today The tax hike actually was felt beginning today, less than 24 hours after the Legislature adjourned. The gas tax increase went into effect at 12:01 this morning. The gross incpme tax increase takes effect July 1, the beginning of the 1957 fiscal year. But tax increases weren’t the only products of the 1957 Legislature that will be long remembered. Organized labor won't soon forget the "right to work” law imposed by a predominantly Republican assembly. The law, first in a major industrial state, goes into effect late next summer. It prohibits the union shop. Most union leaders called it a “union wrecking" law, and some predicted tumultuous labor-managejnent relations when it becomes effective.

SATURDAY, MARCH 1C 1857 - - ■ —

People who make lush profits off pinball machines likewise will remember the 1957 lawmakers for invoking a ban on such machines which record free games. Hoosiers who dislike ever to change their clocks—including proponents of Eastern Standard as well as Central Standard—will long remember that the Legislature gave them a mandatory compromise time schedule that includes "fast" time five months out of each year and “slow” time the other seven. Flushed With Victory? Why did this legislature, in»contrast to many in past, steja ori so many toes? . Observers don’t know for sure, of course. But some figured the Republicans, who dominated the assembly by comfortable margins, were bolstered by the unprecedented margins by which their candidates won the 1956 election. Others believed that while many taxpayers may now be slightly provoked at what the lawmakers did to them, they later will temper their distress when they realize the Aenefits received from the extra tax dollars. For one thing, a huge federalstate road program to be financed in part by the gas tax increase promises to be a boon to Hoosier motorists. For another, schools will get more state aid than ever before in history, though any improvements in education in local communities may not show up as concretely as the miles of highway ribbons due to roll across Hoosierland.
