Sunshine and blue skies are things of beauty. Especially when you haven't seen them for a long time. Weather forecasters have promised milder weather and everyone is getting ready for the storm-delayed spring weather, o -o County roads will be better all summer long if truck drivers abide by the weight restrictions. You may be Inconvenienced a little by having to lighten your loads; but in the long run every tax payer will save money by having better roads for less money. Enforcement of truck weights, especially on the macadam roads, will be effective starting immediately. o—o We wonder how sincere the Senate probers were in the Beck teamster investigation. Were the Senators jockeying for some teamster union help in future elections, or were they sincere in their effort to stop the pilfering of union funds for personal gains? The investigation suddenly bhgged down when it was made public that hoodlum Beck was ja strogn G.O.P. supporter last November. -—o o Congratulations to Harry Dailey, Decatur high school sciene and mathematics teacher for nineteen years on his appointment . to a fellowship of two months duration, next summer at Colorado College, Colorado Springs. Mr. Dailey was selected as one of fifty-five, from more than a thousand applicants of top science instructors in high schools _ nation. The appointment has brought more than distinction to Decatur, it is a distinct honor for the individual and the entire school. ► o, o Announcement was made recently that Congress planned an investigation of 'untrue and misleading television advertising. To date -that is as far as Congress has .gone and the people, in whosf homes these modem fakirs intrude, continue to get the same mislAding and false advertising, whicS completely breaks the trust ’ which has been built up over the years by honesty in adverti ting. Something should be done or television advertising will get i black mark on its record 4 that a hundred years will not erasi .

Highway tragedies and sufferings from the spring storm have been recorded through the middlewest. With only a few inconveniences, the Decatur area has come through in fine fashion, for which everyone is most grateful.

—o Now, with some almost forgotten sunshine, shoppers are beginning to think about their spring clothing needs. The next two weeks should be banner shopping days in Decatur. Retail store sare loaded with all types of soring finery and shoppers are urged to compare the price and quality of these offerings. Everything for men, women and children, is included in advertisements appearing daily in the Democrat. It will be to your advantage to read every Daily Democrat advertisement and shop in Decatur, where your dollars go farther.

Highway chairman John Peters has yielded to service and efficiency above politics and has retained True Andrews in the maintenance department of the state highway department. Andrews, who formerly was Bluffton sub-district superintendent was dismissed recently to make room for a country politician. We are glad for Mr. Andrews and we are glad for the people, because the motorist will be the winner in the long run. The more experienced road men who are employed by the stafte, the better the department will function, even if it is loaded with incompetents.

Postmaster General Summerfield will soon feel the wrath of an aroused public and an aroused Congress and he likely will find himself back in Michigan at his old garage job as a grease monkey. The people of the nation won't permit him to use the postal delivery system as a football. And certainly that is* the way it should be. People pay for a mail delivery service and if they fail to receive that service, certainly they will take remedial measures. Summerfield, however, by his anti-public actions fits well into the Eisenhower pattern of administration of affairs. After rural America fails to receive any mail from Friday to Monday, someone will come out with a parody. "Ike plays golf, while the farmers burn.”

CHAPTER 29 GENERAL Sherman was always the same to Elizabeth. , Grizzled, his red uncombed hair streaked with gray, he loked per* petually rumpled. His uniform coat hung open, and one of the brass buttons was suspended by a single thread. How odd, Elizabeth thought, that the army’s two top officers, Sherman and Grant, both looked so unmilitary. “Sit down, Elizabeth." General Sherman gave her a tired smile. "I’m awfully glad to see you again. Here, let me help you with your coat” "I really shouldn't take up your time. General. 1— well, my problems must be small compared to yours." A— He shook his head at her. "You know better than to talk that way. Any time Ed Tipton’s daughter wants to see me. she’s welcome, day or night, at my office or at home.” She sat down and adjusted the folds of her coat She was embarrassed, now that she was here. General Sherman didn't know anything about Chad or he would have let her know. “Just the same,” she murmured, “I know how much you have to do.” “You're concerned about young Endicott, of course/' he said in his direct way. She smiled ruefully. “Is it that apparent ?’’ “Well, not entirely, but Tm quite familiar with the personal problems of a good many of my officers and their loved ones. After all, the army is just a big family. Or it Used to be. Right now, Congress seems bent on making it just a police force, or smaller.” Elizabeth stared down at her folded hands. “I’ve been nearly crazy ever since the papers began carrying stories about Fort Butterfield being wiped opt Everybody seems to believe them except me.” “Not everybody,” he said. "It may be only rumor. Right now, we can’t verify the stories. We can’t deny them, either." “That’s what I want to think,” she said eagerly. “That the stories are just rumor. But who started them? And why " Sherman's face grew somber and the muscles on his face stood out "Good Lord, Elizabeth. I don’t know. I’ve tried to trace these stories about Fort Butterfield, and as near as 1 can find out, they started In some saloons in St. Louis. A trapper showed up claiming he was on the other side of the river when the fort fell and he saw it burning. Some army wife heard about it and the story got bigger and more horrible. ” " ■ ' "..--S- '”‘

He shook his head. “For the life of me, Elizabeth, 1 can’t understand army gossip. Some of the women thrive on ill guess there's so much uncertainty in their lives that they spend most of their time speculating on the next move. TJjat leads to gossip and rumor." “Perhaps that’s it, General It’s just a habit and they don’t really mean anything by it” She lowered her gaze to her hands again. “But it can hurt others.” "It certainly does,” Sherman said. “And tt doesn't make my life any easier. I tell you since I've taken over the command of the division here, my life has been beset by one rumor after another. They swarm around me like gnats.” _. . Sherman began pacing the floor, a black cigar clamped In one corner of his mouth. Elizabeth leaned forward, looking at him intently. "Then you think the story about Fort Butterfield Is just another rumor?” "I don’t know,” he said Impatiently. "That’s what I’ve been saying. It’s true until you find out positively it isn't true. Then It seems so ridiculous you wonder why you ever got worked up about It Just when you decide you won’t believe any of them, you get one like the Fetterman massacre, and It turns out to be true, horribly true. That puts you back where you were, listening to the rumormongers crying, ■Wolf, Wolf.’ ’’ "I suppose every army wife and sweetheart has the same question 1 have,” Elizabeth said dully. "1 can’t blame you. or them." His voice was more gentle now, more understanding. “The army women have no easy life as it is, let alone having to fight these vicious lies about their men.” He raised hiS homy hands to his rumpled, rusty hair and massaged his scalp thoughtfully. "If Endicott is still alive, you expect to become an army wife?” "Yes.” . "Even after all I've just said?” "Yes.” "You’re willing to be bandied about from pillar to post, never knowing if you might be a widow tomorow?” . "I love Chad,” she said simply. “1 know, Elizabeth. Perhaps I'm just getting old and disgruntled. There seems to be no interest in the army now, and we will be reduced and reduced and reduced. 1 wonder if in my time there will even be an army. Now they’re talking about reducing a general’s pay." She gave a small smile. “I came here to be cheered up, but it looks as if I’ll have to do the cheering un."

Is it proper to send greeting cards, such as 'anniversary cards or birthday cards, to friends in mourning? A. If the sentiment is approxiate, yes. If the words express a thought of friendly sympathy or good wishes, it would be an right, but not if the message is a gay or humorous one. Q. There are any number of girls I know who go to work in the morning with their hair done i up in pin curls. What do you think of this? A. I think it is in the worst possible taste! They might just as well appear in public with mud packs on their faces!

His face relaxed. He rose and, moving around the desk to her, grasped her hands. "Well, why not? I'm getting to be an old man and 1 could use a little comtorting.” He released her hands and stepped back, frowning. “But about Chad. Think of it this way, Elizabeth. More rumors turn out to be false than turn out to be true. The gossip you hear and the newspaper stories you read don’t ; prove anything. Chad’s a good soldier, and he can take care of < himself if anyone can. We'll know as soon as the ice goes out of the river and communication is resumed. That’s all I can tell you now and 1 think you understand why.” ' She smiled at him, her eyes moist. ”1 do understand.” She rose to leave. His wrinkled countenance, covered with a gauze of red-gray whiskers, softened and wreathed itself in a smile. “1 believe you do, soldier.” In a moment she was out in the raw spring wind. She knew no more than when she came, but she felt better. Now there | was no doubt in her mind what she had to da When Stiner called that eve- • ning, she said, ’“the first boat, out of St. Louis for the upper . Missouri is the Red Nymph. 1' found out this afternoon that Otto Grunwald will be on it So will 1. I’ve got to find out for ' myfclf." ~—-7-— —r— ——-—-j-— "Elizabeth, Elizabeth,” he said tenderly. “It breaks my heart to see you go on hoping for something to be true which isn't true. I hate to see you make a dangerous trip like that just to be hurt" “But 1 can’t do anything else, Alvin.” "Listen to me, Elizabeth. I love you. I want to marry you and take care of you, just as 1 promised your father. I never pressed you as Ibng as Chad was alive, but It’s different now. It’s no good, I tell you, loving a dead man.” She said softly, "Maybe it isn't any good, but it’s the way 1 am. When 1 know he’s dead ... ■ Stifier said, “Then 1 must be content with that Elizabeth, I'm getting out of the Indian trade. I'm going to sell my interest in Fort Blaine and I expect to get some business in the Montana mines, so I’m taking the Red Nymph and I’ll go on to Fort Benton.” He smiled. “Alter all, I did promise your father to look after you.” Chad t» ( about to have a surprising Visit from a woman.
