Don't you often wonder how much profit chewing gum manufacturers made way back before World War I, when the product was selling at its same price of five cents a package. That is rtill the retail price and we don’t hear any of them going broke. o o—— The Federal budget, one of history's largest is in for a lot of probable shaving in the next few weeks by both Houses of Congress. No one will advance a prediction, though, on whether the threatened cuts are political talk or honest efforts to actually do some much needed pruning. o—-o— — Farmers are asked to adhere to the laws pertaining to loads on trucks, especially during the spring rains when the weight of loads can do irrepairftble damage to county roads. It may cost you a little more to haul two loads, when you could do it in a single load, but you’ll be the winner in the long run with better roads for everybody. o o—* You can still do a humanitarian act and become a member of toe Red Cross. If sufficient money is not raised, many of the organization’s activities may be curbed or completely eliminated. You don’t really appreciate this great organization until you have a dire need for it. ' o—o— Automobile manufacturers are going all out during this month to get their share of new car business. Special buying inducements, including price cuts, more liberal monthly payments and even the addition of more equipment will be offered. For the next few weeks it will be a strictly buyers’ market and manufacturers hope that production, - which already is high, will mount to i. new record.-/ : '£/£> .■£ o o— —— Ejecatur’s famous Egg Tree, res ilendent with many new decoraliens is ready for its annual i visiV.by thousands of children and ; adults, at the Public Library.

Miss Joan Wemboff, T< ’Etur business woman and Adams county chairman of the Cancer fund has named her aides for the drive. Decatur and Berne are excepted because both cities include the Cancer Society in their Community Funds. Letters will be written to all other citizens of the county explaining the activities of this great organization. You are asked to give liberally, the very next local victim might be you. ——o o-— Decatur churches are planning their special services tor April 19, 20 and 21 which include Good Friday and the glorious Easter Day. The usual Good Friday observance with local stores cooperating by closing their doors Lorn noon until 3 o'clock in the afternoon will be in effect this year as usual. Plan now to make " Easter week-end one of great significance by joining thousands of other Christian families through Indiana in observance of death o nthe cross and the glorious resurrection. All Christian Churches should be bulging at these services. o o It is probably all right for major oil companies to stress the fact that added state and federal taxes have caused phenominal jumps in the price of gasoline and oil, but don’t overlook the fact that these companies are getting an all-time high for their products, even before the tax is added. They defend this with the statement that their product is being constantly improved with the additional pennies they have added to your cost. That is the | same argument that state and federal agencies use; that/you will get better roads for your added pennies. When these concerns sharply criticize the governments for causing a price increase, isn’t it the pot calling the kettle black? People should be critical of both actions which combined have caused a decline in the use of the family car for joyriding.

CHAPTER Zi A WARM Chinook wind came in caressingly from the west, melting the nigh drifts of snow and sketching tn large patches of bare, brown turf around Fort Butterfield. Zack told Chad that the Indians were still around. They were keeping their distance, but the post was under observation. “I lunno what they’ll do,” he said, “but 1 don’t Agger they’ll tackle the fort. Chances are they'll pick off anybody they catch. That means I ain’t fetchin' in no game. Mebbe they'll starve us ouL Might even keep a boat from gittin’ up nere, come spring." Colonel Randall did not ment lion the -enegade Beauvais again, but Chad had no doubt that the ‘report which would go downriver next spring would show him as incompetent ano insolent, and would ask for bis recall. He didn't bare, he told himself. He would rather resign from the Army than go through another winter under Randall. To add to Chad’s unrest, Christmas was at hand, and he could not keep Elizabeth out of nis mind. He kept thinking of the holidays they nad spent together last year. The war had ended the previous April, so Christmas. 1865, had been celebrated as the first Yule holiday of "peace" in five years. What a temporary peace, Chad thought bitterly. One Christmas with no war. And now ... He couldn’t even sit down and write to Elizabeth. There was not the remotest possibility of sending a letter anywhere. Randall put the men to work repairing the sawmill, hoping to continue building within the itockade when the weather improved enough to resume logging. One morning as the repairs were being completed, Randall stopped to talk with Chad, who was supervising the work. "Good morning, Endicott,” Raniall said with great heartiness. "I* the sawmill almost ready for use again?" “Almost, sir,” Chad said, puztled by Randall's manner. This was the first effort ne nkd made at being friendly since Chad had ax-ked him about his war record. “The Indians didn’t do much dam- . age.” “Fine, fine,” Randall said. “Actually there is no real hurry. We’re snug enough. But 1 would like to get up one more storehouse and a shop or two before another storm hits." He cleared nis throat and glanced obliquely at Chad. “1 thought we’d give the men a little rest over Christmas." Chad was surprised at this glimmer of charity til the man’s

The wedding ring, being a plain band, does not require much deaning and in many instances is never taken off. Whereas the engagement ring is taken off constantly. Q. When a hostess passes cigarettes after a meal, isn’t it permissible for a guest to smoke his’ own of he prefers to do so? A. No; the guest should accept the dgarette proffered by his hostess. Q. Is it all .right to use creamcolored of tinted personal cards? A. White cards are in much better taste.

soul, out ne merely said, "They’ll welcome it, sir." "By the way. Lieutenant, Mrs. Randall comes from a family that sets great store by Christmas. Big dinner and all. Os course we can’t be very festive, but she would like a guest for dinner. Will you join us?’’ “Why, thank you, sir. Tell Mrs. Randal] 1 shall be very happy to accept her invitation.” He sounded pleased, but he was bothered. There was pleasure in the anticipation of eating at a table set by a woman, and having a chance to come as close to “dining” ad any man in Dakota could that day. But it would bring him into close contact with Mrs. Randall, something he had carefully avoided, he was well aware of the Colonel’s insane jealousy. And Randall would certainly seize the holiday as an excuse to get drunk. But Chad had no choice. It was a command dinner. No one refused a dinner invitation to his superior officer’s house, a fact of which Mrs. Randall ”’as perfectly aware. • • • As Chad left his cabin for Ran- ' dall's quarters on Christmas afternoon, he was far from happy. When Randal) answered the door, his face had that familiar flush which clearly indicated he I had already begun to partake of the traditional Christmas cheer. 1 “Come ih, come tn, Endicott 1 Merry Christmas." “Merry Christmas, sir." Chad said with forced spontaneity. Mrs. Randall turned from the fireplace where she had been turning a browned piece of buffalo hump that dripped sibilantly 1 into the fire below. She called cheerfully, “Merry Christmas, Chad.” He responded without hearing his own voice. It was "Chad” to her: it was “Endicott” to the Colonel. This was the first time she had ever used his first name, but Randal) gave no Indication that he noticed the familiarity. He was rummaging in a small closet across the room. Then, with a grunt of satisfaction, he found ' the object of his search. ' Holding a dusty bottle high, he I smiled almost leeringly at Chad. "The last of Randall's private wine cellar," he said. “Been saving it for just such an occasion as this! When it’s all gone, I’ll have to fall back on Injun I whiskey, rotgut, just rotgut." ' “Make mine a small one, Coli onel.” Chad said. I “Why don’t you make them ’ both small ones, gentlemen ?" Isa- : bella suggested. “Dinner Is nearly ' ready.” i Chad accepted his glass from > Randall and clicked it against the

James E. Dancer On Scholastic Roll James E. Dancer husband of the former Barbartf L. Beehler, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Beehler, Decatur, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Dancer, 333 S. Franklin Street, Delphos, Ohio, is among students cited for scholastic attainment at Tri-State College, Angola, according to an announcement by the dean of students, L. P. Myers. Dancer holds a scholastic record of all A’s and B’s for the winter quarter at Tri-State College, where he is a student in the department of mechanical engineering. Elizabeth Betty Reichert, of 1322 Monroe street, is a patient at the University hospital, 5 west, at Ann Arbor, Mich. HOSPITAL NOTES Dismissed Mrs. Robert Boze and baby boy, Berne.

Colonel’s outstretched glass, repeating after him, "Here’s to Butterfield." Randall had been drinking steadily. He brought a box of cigars and offered them to Chad, then almost fell before he reached the side table, but he recovered his balance and laid the box down. He lighted a cigar, fingers fumbling with the match before he had a flame going. •Tve got the besht wife on the Missouri,” Randal) said thickly. “I’ve got the besht ' wife thish shide of the At—At—the ocean. Ishn’t that sho, Endicott?” “She’s very beautiful,” Chad agreed. Randal] lurched back to where Chad sat and looked down at him, swaying back and forth uncertainly. “Now I’ll tel) you something, Endicott If any other man touches her, I’D kill him. You hear that? I’ll kill him like a dog.” "Please come to the table, dear.” Isabella gave Chad a forced smile. “Will you sit here. Lieutenant” Chad sat down. He glanced at Isabella’s white, set face, and lowered his gaze. She must nave planned this dinner for weeks, looked forward to it, used every device she could think of to make this day stand out among the dreary days which had gone before and which would follow. And now this: Randal) sitting with his hands gripping the table on both sides of his plate to brace himself, his mouth slack-lipped. Then, without another word, his arms became 'rubber and he toppled forward, his face in his plate. Isabella rose slowly. She took a tong breath, trying to mask the misery that her husband had brought to her. "Will you help me put him to bed ?” Chad got up. “1 can manage hltn," he said, and gripping Randall under his armpits, he dragged him out of the chair and into the bedroom. Randall was a heavy man. It was all Chad could do to lift his sodden weight to the bed. Then Isabella spread a buffalo robe over him and turned quickly away. She said, “1 hope this hasn’t made you loee your appetite, Chad. I would hate to have my dinner go to waste.” “It won’t," he said gently. So they sat down again, the candles flickering as wind seeped in around the door and through cracks In the wall. It was the strangest meal Chad had ever eaten, and one he would never forget Chad’s facing temptation. Read Chapter 23 Monday. ,

Senators Approve Zwicker Promotion Only Two Dissenting Votes Cast Monday jib Th? .Army was so happy it called in the pho-j tographers. Two hours earlier Monday Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wls.) had taken a final verbal swing at his old foe. Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker. He warned the Senate what to expect if it made a major general out of Zwicker — the man whose 1954 fight with McCarthy helped’ lead to the sensational Army-Mc-Carthy hearings. McCarthy said promoting Zwicker would disgrace Congress and the Army. Then the Senate approved the promotion 70-2. The two were McCarthy and Sen. George W. Malone (R-Nev.) The Army acted quickly to arrange an' extraordinary ceremony. Zwicker, called home from Korea to face McCarthy’s opposition to his promotion before the Senate Armed Services Committee, stood at attention. Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker pinned a second star on Zwicker's right shoulder. Lt. Gen. Donald P. Booth pinned a second star on, his left. A reporter asked an Army press officer standing nearby why ‘‘the show.” The press officer just grinned. - COUR!

Ike's Proposal Faces Rejection Ru Uaiicq firA»A . ■ I wttjv I vU|/ Opposed To Cabinet Voice In View Os Disabled President WASHINGTON (UP)—A House Judiciary subcommittee will turn down President Eisenhower’s plan • to give the cabinet a voice in deciding when a disabled president should be replaced, a United Press poll of subcommittee members indicated today. Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-i NY) said flatly ‘‘the cabinet idea , is out.” Other member s’ comments , showed Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. failed to sell them the cab- ’ inet plan during the subcommittee’s one-day hearing on it Monday. Celler said the subcommittee will meet ,again in about two weeks to try to work out another method for replacing a disabled 1 President. He predicted the group ( probably will approve either his 1 plan to give the vice president full responsibility to make such a decision, or some form of commis- ! sion to take the responsibility. Rep. Kenneth B. Keating (NY) the top-ranking subcommittee Repdblican has proposed a 10 - man commission made up of members of the cabinet, Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court to decide when a president cannot fulfill his duties. Brownell said Monday the “hazards of an atomic age” make it imperative some plan for replacing a disabled president lie initiated without delay. He said he believes that, under the Constitution as now worded, the vice president has the authority to declare the president disabled and to take over his duties. Declaring such a weighty decision should not be "dependent on one man’s opinion,” Brownell urged approval of Mr. Eisenhower’s proposal for a constitutional amendment. Under this plan, |he president could declare his own inability to do his job. If he were unwilling or unable to make such a decision, the vice president and cabinet could do so.

Comments by members were uniformly unfavorable. Says Union Leaders Bought At Wholesale Kl—CknflA.Minn . Bought For Leaders WASHINGTON (UP)—Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said today Walter Reuther and some other top labor leaders bought household goods through Nathan W. Shefferman who bought nylons, deep freezes and a gravy boat for Teamster President Dave Beck. But McClellan, chairman of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee, stressed to reporters that there Is no evidence that Reuther or other leaders outside the Teamsters Union used union funds. "I see no significance in it, in view of the fact that there is nothing in the committee files at present to indicate these purchases were paid fqr out of any union funds,” McClellan said. Shefferman testified last week that one of his techniques as a labor relations counselor for management was to ingratiate himself with union leaders by buying goods for them wholesale. Shefferman testified that Beck, the defiant general president of the Teamsters Union, bought more than $85,000 worth of merchandise this way— and paid for it with union funds. He said other labor leaders also bought things this way, but he did not know where the money came from. McClellan ordered a staff report on four names he mentioned during the hearings. Today he made public the report which showed: > •Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers and vice president of the AFL-CIO. made two purchases through Shefferman for a total of $129. The late Matthew J. Woll. an AFL vice president, made four purchases involving a total of more than $2,300. William Schnitzler, secretarytreasurer of the AFL-CIO, paid $1,600 for 13 purchaf es. Herman Winter, forn\er president of the AFL Bakery Workers Union, made two purchases which totalled $224. Trade in a good town — Decatar
