The Swiss natives are said to speak two or three languages fluently. Strange that so many of us have trouble with just the one. o o — Food for thought — “History shows by many examples that . ■ excessive taxation—is an important factor in the decline and fall of a civilization.’* (Alexander Hamilton) ——o——o— The calendar says it—the shorter hours of darkness imply ft—the height of the weeds show indispositions reflect it—the Yankees feel it—the Sox fear it—the summer solstice has made its appearance. Indiana weather, though variable, is grand at this time of year. Now is the time to store the vitamin C to carry us through the period of the winter solstice. 0 o — Now there is a proposal that a new Federal Air agency be established to see that there is adequate air traffic and navigation control. Demands of civil and military aviation have “Saturated’* ouTsky and the air traffic control system is outdated. An anticipated 125,000 planes in the air in the v near future would indicate that some solution needs k be readied. 1 0 o - A new eye-testing program b. ing established by the state license bureau seems to be a step in the right direction.

third year and part results Indicate that most oj the students have been vastly improved if not entirely cured of their speech problems. —o —o— According to Ezra T. Benson. “Today’s farming is more highly capitalized than the rest of our economy”. Today it is possible far each farmer to produce enough for himself and nineteen other people whereas the single farmer could produce for only six other people fifty years ago. Mechanization and the indomitable will of today makes such performance possible. We pay the deepest homage to those who, though dismayed at times, doggedy persist in beating the challenges of nature. b——o•— The Decatur golf eourse is a busy place these nice days. The course is in great shape and many golfers are taking advantage of the chance to sharpen their games as well as to battle old man par. With a daily average of well over a hundred and a season high of two hundred and forty, it is a liklihood that more people win take their spare time at the course for some of that fine recreation. Tournaments are being arranged and the .benefits tronas* round or two will be of inestimable value to all who take part. Such a great activity should be an important part of each community. o 6 Even though the formal letting of the contrjypts for our new sewgae and garbage disposal system wiU not take place for a few days ft appears that Yost Construction Co., of Decatur will begin work in the near future on this project. It is noteworthy that the low bid was about $250,000 under previous estimates. It is encouraging to recognize that our community has a construction company that can handle this big project and that a large segment of the required labor can be supplied from this locality- Both the Yosts and the city* administration are to be congratulated upon their exemplary conduct in handling this matter in the best professional traditions.

CHAPTER 1 < | I SAW Joe Pardee die. It was like . . . But how can I tell what it was like? No man can tell how it would be ifa great mountain disappeared within a few seconds, or if the sun that was in the sky one minute was not there the next Joe had been that kind of man to me as long as I’d known him. I remember that last morning well, even little details that are not important »-..« • • • • When I left the bunkirouse, the jun was just coming up over the Cedar Hills to the east, the sky is blue as I had ever seen it I washed in the cold water flowing out of the pipe into the horse trough, so cold that, even in early September, it shocked me awake. I ran a wet hand through my hair, looked at the dark shadows :hat clung to the Cedar Hills, and then, turning, stared aprosS Easter Valley to the Sangre de Cristo range that pricked the sky with granite peaks. I was still standing there when 'Gene Dillingham, Joe’s other rider, came out of the bunkhouse. He said, "Dreaming again, Will ?" "Guess so," I said. He sloshed water on his face, shook his head, and muttered, “Must be ice in that spring,” Then he looked at me. He had been on the Box P longer than I had. He was thirty-five, a big man who could ride anything and who had more cow savvy than anyone else I knew, virtues which were balanced by a sullen dispo- — sition and a mulish stubbornness that made him hard to get along with. He and I both idolized Joe, but that was about all we had in common. He hated Joe’s wife, Sarah, and claimed she was a drag on him because she was confined to a wheel chair by a back injury from a riding accident It was a stupid reason for hating her, because nothing could be a drag on Joe. He did what he had —to do regardless of anyone else's opinion or feelings, even his wife’s. Gene stared at me for a long moment, then wiped a sleeve across his face. "Good day for dying,”* he said, and swung around and strode toward the kitchen. I followed him, thinking how like him those words were. It pleased him tp see men die in front of Joe Payee’s gun. There had been many.Sigfjt back to the year Joe had .built a cabin on the East Easter Creek ” and started the Box P. Today it would be another man, a young fellow named Al Beam. Maybe Beam hoped to cut a new notch on his gun; or maybe he had been hired by that raggletaggle bunch of farmers camped in the cottonwood grove just above Carlton. Joe was"already sedted at the table when Gene and I pulled back Our and sat down, j C -Wayne D, Ovei holier 1956. Fronj

I He nooaea ana we noaaea back, and he kept on eating. Maria, the Pardees’ Mexican housekeep- 1 er, brought the coffeepot and filled our cups, plodded back to i the stove, and returned with a i platter of bacon and flapjacks. A moment later Dogbone, the Ute kid who did the chores, slipped in and sat down and began to eat He was eighteen, squat heavy-featured and greasyfaced. He’d worked here since he was fourteen, and he had developed the same blind devotion to Sarah that Dillingham had for Joe. Sarah did not come to the table for breakfast. She seldom did, although she had made a habit of eating supper with us. I thought she would be here this morning because she knew about Al Beam. When we were done, Joe rose and wiped the back of a hand across his mouth. "Saddle up for me, Dogbone," he said. "Wait a minute. Will.” The boy went out with Dillingham. I /waited, looking at Joe. He was forty-one his last birthday, taller even than Gene Dillingham, but not as heavy. With his long bones, long muscles, and thin, dark face, Joe Pardee had been born with a perpetual-mo-tion motor inside that kept drivI ing him from sunup to sundown. It was his gun that had kept Easter Valley open range for the [ dozen ranches that were here. He i never asked for advice; he never i listened if anyone offered it. I think it was this hard, one-direc-i tion drive more than anything ; else that had widened the gap between him and Sarah until the : fire of their marriage had sputi tered out so that now not even , a spark of love remained. a i I stood there, waiting for Joe . to speak. t Finally he asked, "What have t you heard about this fellow ; Beam?" i "Nothing," I said. "He’s just 1 a drifter, I guess.” j "Saddle up,” he said abruptly, s and swung around left the kitchen. ; As I crossed the yard to the » corral, I wondered if that was r what he had really meant to ask. ; The bright, slanted light on the • Sangre de Cristos had lost the j sharp tone of early sunrise, in . spite of the increasing warmth, i I shivered, and quickened my e steps across the dusty yard. S I saddled my bay gelding and i swung up. Dillingham had mountt ed and was waiting in front of the house. Dogbone stood there, i, holding the reins of Joe’s horse, i. When I pulled up beside Dillingv ham, I saw Sarah in her wheel e chair on the front porch. Joe was looking down at her, a completely baffled, an expression t I seldom saw on his face. Suddenly it occurred to me that there e was something queer about this d morning, that it was like no other i. morning that had gone before, the novel gublislMd" by Macmillan Co, I

Q. If one is served a cup of coffee filled to the brim, would it be al! right to bend over the cup and take a few sips so as to avoid any danger of spinage when lifting the cup?

A. You must not bend over. Take a sufficient number of spoonfuls of coffee and sip these, until you are sure you can lift the cup without spilling. Q. When having a piece of silver for a baby marked with only one initial, should it be the first or the last? A. The first. j Household Scrapbook I BY ROMRTA LIB I • i , 4 Tired Eyes To relieve eyes that are tired from close work, try bathing them in hot Epsom salt solution before retiring. Dissolve a half-teaspoon of Epsom salts in a cup of hot water and apply pads dipped into this solution, just as hot as can be borne. Repeat several times and the strained feeling will disappear. Paint If a can of paint has been partly used, and it is not wished to cover the can securely, stir the paint thoroughly, then fill to the top with water. When needed pour off the water very carefully.

I heard Sarah say very clearly: “You’re destroying me, Joe. I know that doesn’t make any difference to you, but you’re destroying yourself, too. That should make some difference.” He laughed, that great booming laugh I had heard so many times, and said: “Til never destroy myself, Sarah. And if you’re being destroyed, it’s you that’s doing it, not me.” Sarah tipped her head back to look at Joe. She said: Tm warning you. You can’t go on killing men just to hold something that doesn’t rightly belong to you. You go ahead with this thing you’re planning, and I’ll leave you.” He stooped to kiss her, but she turned her face away. He straightened and laughed again. "All right," he said. “You’d better leave. You know I’ve got to go on.»I can’t stand still and I can’t go*back.” He came off the porch, his face, dour; crossing to his horse, he swung into the saddle. I don’t think that either Joe or Sarah realized we had heard what they'd said. We rode away at a gallop. Dogbone stood under the cottonwoods watching us, and Sarah was motionless in her chair; but Joe did not look back at either of them. Presently we slowed down to rock along at a steady ground-eating pace. I glanced at Joe and saw that his face was as bleak as it had been when he'd stepped oft the porch; then I looked ahead at the narrow road that followed the creek, twisting along between the twin rows of willows. I was sick. I, Will Beeson, owed everything to Joe and Sarah Pardee. I had come to the Box P when I was a leggy kid with peach fuzz on my face, an empty belly and pockets that were equally empty. They had taken me in, had given me a job and a home, and I loved them both. I wasn't like Gene Dillingham, : who thought Joe was completely right and Sarah completely : wrong. I wasn’t like Dogbone i either, Who was as loyal to Sarah . as a pet hound. I was somewhere ! between, Wanting to help them > and not knowing what to do. i When I first came to the Box , P, Joe wasn’t the aggressive drivr er he became later. He could stop and plan, and did so at I times. Now, looking back across the f last seven years, I could not put , my finger on the day the trouble . began, or even why it had begun. • It seemed to me that Joe gradualI ’ly became more domineering and intolerant and that Sarah didn’t , laugh as much as she had. She i spefit more time doing things by - herself: fishing and riding alone 6 and working in her flower bed. s Then she had her accident, and r after that nothing was the same.
