Announcements have been made that tuition at most midwestern colleges has been Increased for the college terms starting next September. These increases are in line with cost incrases of operation, mostly salaries. They are not out of line with the advancing cost of everything, but they’re tough on Pop, especially if he has two or three kids in college. Where are we headed? <0 0 Two prominent and highly respected Decatur nonagenarians, each active for many years in the business progress of our community are ill at their homes. John Colchin retired Decatur merchant and John W. Tyndall, retired manufacturer, business man and banker are reported to be confined to their respective homes. We join their many friends in a sincere wish that both of these great Decatur citizens soon will be able to return to their normal activities. Q. — -O— Business isn’t going to pot all of a sudden, but the wise merchant will work a little harder to keep his retail dollar total up and his expenses down. Advertising, especially when business starts to slump is the greatest tonic known for the local merchant’s business. A wise merchant will use his local newspaper to tell his patrons what he has to offer. Join the other wise merchants and advertise in the Daily Democrat, which covers Adams county and the trading area surrounding it completely. ——o o We’re probably headed into a business slump. How extensive f the slump will be remains to be seen. Experts in the field of analysis are almost unanimous in their opinion now that there will be a softening in almost every major industry. The business decline can be saved somewhat by the .attitude of the people. How mudh they spend will be a determining factor in how bad the slump will be. Reduced bank loans, and production lessening by. many major industries are the first harbingers of what is still termed a "mild market softening." Employment remains at a high level, but how much the workman will have to spend after living expenses and times are deducted, will be a big factor and how much he will spend wlil be a bigger factor.

We will soon have some spring rains and when these rains are steady and heavy they mean a lot of wet cellar trouble. Some of this worry can be remedied if you will take time now to check the outlets for your surface water and make sure they are open. If there is a man-hole near your property, make sure this is not cluttered with leaves and. sticks and mud. If it is, you should notify the street and sewer department. Check your down spouting and make sure the water flows to the surface sewer. These minor jobs may save you a lot of inconveniences later and will help assure you of a dry basement. —-o o——The Peters-Handley ax has fallen on a faithful and excellent state employe, often termed one of the best highway supervisors in Indiana. True "Tabby” Andrews, sub-district highway superintendent with his office at Bluffton has been removed to rAake room for a political henchman. For several years, the An-drews-supervised section of northern Indiana roads has been the pride of the highway department. The Adams county man has worked hard many times the clock around, to provide motorists with good passable highways. He has repaired and rebuilt roads better than any supervisor in northern Indiana — and all at a financial saving to the people. Mr. Andrews was notified last August by the then G.O.P. gubernatorial candidate that he did not need to fear the loss of his job. That was in August, when candidate Handley made numerous other promises, most of them since broken. We salute Andrews for the job he has done. No doubt there are many complexities in the Republican state organization which we don't understand and many that we don’t care to understand. We have no worry about the Adams county man, because he has the ability to assume a much more responsible job. We do worry about a "lie” told by any person high in the counsel of either major political party and we are sure that this and many other broken promises will pave the way for the early hastening to oblivion of the "fabulous" one and his irresponsible lieutenants.

When a girl has been dining with a young man in a public place, and they are preparing to leave the table, should she begin immediately to put on her coat which has been draped over the back of her chair? A. No; she should wait either for her escort op the waiter to assist her. Q Some of my girl friends, who have become engaged recently, have given their fiances engagement presents. Is this a new custom — and proper? A. This is neither a new custom nor necessary. There is nothing improper about it, however, if the girl wishes to do so. Q. How should one remove cherry pits from the mouth at the table. by dropping them into a spoon or into the cupped hand? A. Either is proper, although it would seem that dropping them into the hand is better, since it is less conspicuous. 9 household Scrapbook ) BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 0 Woolens Restore your shrnunken woolens by using clean soapsuds as the last rinse.

CHAPTER 13 SERGEANT Anderson was leading a detail through the cottonwoods on the double. Chad ' straightened, legs spread, and stood that way until Anderson stopped in front of him and ~ saluted. — ’ . "Colonel Randall said . . Anderson paused. Chad said, "I understand. Sergeant We .had a little brush with the Indians. As you can see, Mullvane has been hurt. See that he is taken care of.” “Yes, sir,” Anderson said with a straight face. “Saunders. Tolliver. Get Sergeant Mullvane on his feet and help him back to camp.” “I ain’t hurt,” Mullvane muttered, and got to his feet. Then his knees buckled and he fell on his face. “Help him back to camp like I told you," Anderson said. When the detail had gone Chad stumbled to the edge of the river and, kneeling down, sloshed water over his battered face. Funny thing, he thought. During a fight you never know how much of a beating you’re taking. Well, he’d taken one, all right, but no more than Mullvane had taken. __ Zack said, “I know what you’re thinkin’. Well, I saw your ruckus. You was standin* up and Mullvane wasn’t That’s good enough." Maybe it was. Mullvane didn’t think he’d been licked, but if the men thought he had been, Chad had accomplished something. Chad said, "You were looking for Indians? That why you were down here?” “Yeah,” Zack said sourly. “I got one and the other two lit out.” "They’d have got me and Mullvane both,” Chad said, "if it hadn’t been for you.” "You bet they would. Now look here, Lootinant The Sioux ain’t gonna beat down the fort arter it’s built, and most of the young bucks are out huntin’ now. Come winter, they'll be watchin’ us and wcfwon’t never know it But let a man or two get out here by hisself, and they’ll git him.” “I understand, Zack,” Chad said. He glanced at the lanky scout moving beside him through the dusk. In time, he thought, Zack could train the soldiers of the

Fifteentn to ngnt Indians. If they lived long enough. • • • Slowly Fort Butterfield took Shape. The stockade was finished first, then work was started on the two blockhouses. Each was twenty-one feet square, pierced with holes for rifles and the twelve-pounders Randall had brought The blockhouses, located on opposite corners of Hie fort, afforded a commanding view of the surrounding area. Chad supervised the construction of a cattle yard which was protected by another smaller stockade outside the fort As soon as it was finished, he took his crew to a fertile flat east of the fort and began cutting wild hay. The herd, grazing north of the fort, was guarded by two of Mullvane’s detail, and was always brought back to the cattle yard before sundown. Chad grudgingly admitted to himself that Randall held up his end. He might be plagued by indecision; he might lack a hard core of courage, but he did understand construction. Zack was continually on the move. He had disliked Randall from the moment he had met the man, a dislike that had grown through the weeks as Randall’s faults became more evident. “Goldangdest thing I ever see, this here fort is," Zack said one night “Moss of these army posts don’t look like this'n. Usually they’ve got enough soldiers to protect 'em without throwin’ up this Dan’l Boone stockade business you’ve got.” “The stockade isn’t a good idea. That it?” “It’s all right, mebbe. But we’re gonna be cooped up in it till we'll be lucky to git down to the river if a boat goes by.” Zack chewed vigorously on a piece of grass. "And another thing. I never seen an outfit with just two officers, and a cunnel and a lootlnant at that. What did they send a cunnel up here for, anyhow?" “Colonel Randall holds his rank by brevet,” Chad explained. “Actually he's a captain and he draws a captain’s pay.” “Then what do they call him Cunnel for?” “It’s Kind of like being a judge and then not being a judge. Even if you lose the job, people keep on calling you Judge.*’

Zack considered that. Finally he said, “Don’t make no sens* Oughter have cavalry up not infantry.” » • • Chad was thankful for the river. He had never felt that way in St. Louis, but up here tlx Missouri gave company. Fron time to time, smoke could be sees on the horizon, and after an ii» terminable period, an awkwart river steamer would come inU sight. ,The Miner was the first to stoj at Fort Butterfield. Randall an< Chad took a detail of men. ani went down to meet her. When the gangplank was set i> place, a large jovial man wearing a nautical-type cap strode ashore and moved up the bank to Randall and Chad. “Cap’n Adkins, Miner,* he said, and offered* his hand ta Randall. “Colonel Randall, Fifteenth Infantry,” Randall said as he shook hands. “This is Lieutenant Endicott." Adkins shook hands with Chad and turned back to Randall. “1 brought some supplies. They told me in St Louis I’d find you uj here near Fort Blaine, so we’ve been keeping a lookout for you." Randall smiled. He jerked f hand toward the fort. "There tt is, Fort Butterfield. It’s not finished, but it will be if you brought us some tools.” “We’ve got tools. If you want to put some of your men aboard, we can start unloading. I want to tie up at Blaine tonight.” Randall nodded at Chad. “Attend to It, Lieutenant.” Within a matter of Chad had a chain of soldiers moving the supplies ashore. When the unloading was finished, ha walked back to the fort with Randall As they neared the stockade the Colonel said, “I suppose you’re anxious to see your mall." "Yes, sir, I am,” Chad said. “Find the mail orderly,” Randall said in a more kindly tone than he usually used. “I hope you will be rewarded.” “Thank you, sir," Chad said, and hurried across the fort te where the orderly was sorting the mail “Here’s one for you. Lieutenant,” the orderly said. Chad relaxed when he saw the handwriting. Tomorrow: A letter from Elizabeth. Read Chapter 14. j
