It did rain on St. Swithin's Day but we escaped the penalty of forty successive days of rain. O O The unexpected death of Mrs. Inez R. Weber was a shock to her family and many friends in this area. Mrs. Weber had long been active in Decatur affairs and her help will be sorely missed. We join others in extending condolences to the members of the family and host of close friends. O O "Paint up and fix up" seems to be the order of the day. This season of the year always shows an increase in .improvements of this type and Dwakir is fortunate in the ptide that local people take in maintaining their properties in the best possible condition. Many store fronts and homes are being refurbished and such efforts are obvious to all. O—O Fair time means the Indiana State Fair which is in the offing. Each year this fair is rated among the best in state fairs and, according to reports, this year’s show will be better than ever. 'Hoosiers can take a lot of pride in this event for the grounds, shows and horse races are without equal in the country. The trip -to Indianapolis is short and many people make a day of it for their families. You, too, can enjoy one of Indiana’s great fairs. 0 —■ —0 During a recent series of Sunday baseball games there was a total of eighteen errors and thir-ty-three home runs. The day of good, solid, defensive ball is out the window and the musclemen are having a hey-day. Despite the scarcity of baseball, there are a few clubs making money at the expense of, John Q. Public who neither seems to know nor care about the real game of baseball. ' _—o O— Dugouts are still in the planning stage for Worthman field and this fall would be a good time for - construction of them. Many improvements at the field will keep ' it among the best equipped in our part of the state. Track and baseball facilities are heavily used arxi need constant work whilethe football area is well-sodded and ready for the advent of the high school season which will get underway shortly. The field continues to supply many hours of < outdoor recreation for many peo- . pic."• '

Some of our neighbors have started a drive *against noisy autos and “bikes*' as is evident in a number of warnings that are being issued. While such sounds are not objectionable to some of us, elderly people as well as those who are ill do find fault with these unnecessary roars. Such objections are justifiable and we should bend every effort to discourage the practice. O -O— — Now would be a good time to check your driver’s licen». The new state law provides that those who are 35 and over on January 1, 1957 will be examined during the first two years as their licenses come up for renewal. It is said that there is no desire to disqualify drivers but rather have them learn basic rules so they can better qualify. Don’t wait until the expiration date, get ready with the answers that will be required. 4 —iO O>— An immense source 'of revenue is denied to many local government units when we learn that the Federal Government owns more than one-fifth of continental United States. A total of 408 million acres have been acquired by various means and all of it is beyond the reach of taxing units. It has been suggested that a new commission be established to review our federal land policy with an eye toward restoring some of it to the tax rolls. This plan does merit some consideration, doesn’t it ? O O ‘'From Arrows to Atoms” is the theme of the semi-centennial which is being celebrated by the state of Oklahoma this year. In November of 1907, Theodore Roosevelt signed the document which bave statehood to the twin territories, Indian ’and Oklahoma. The theme symbolizes both the rich past of pioneer days and the state’s determination to hold and advance its important economic position in the America of tomorrow. Gypsum, oil, coal, zinc, lead, and salt are in sufficient quantities to keep this fine state among the leaders in the nation, cattleraising and general agriculture added to the others provide a wide diversification and good balance. Yes, our 46th state is among our greatest.

CHAPTER 15 "I 'MY families will start up * the canyon as soon as I get back, Beeson,” John Mathers said to me. "People who would have gone on living in the stink and smoke and refuse of a great city if I hadn’t brought them out here. “Every man has been carefully picked. Some are farmers. Some are carpenters. Blacksmiths. We have one gunsmith, a teacher, a doctor, a preacher and a lawyer. We will have a community of our own which will operate on the only premise that will ever bring happiness to mankind. One for alt The profit we make will be shared equally. We ask Just one thing, Beeson, a very simple thing: Let us alone.” “And you called me a fool,” I said. "Think a crackpot scheme like yoUrs will work? Why, it’s been tried a thousand times. Think of the early days <jt the Virginia colony. What happened ? They’d have starved < if they’d kept on with IL And what about these socialist colonies? They ail failed. You claim to be a leader and a smart man, byt you haven’t got sense enough to know that if a man doesn't work for himself he’s not going to w«rk at all.” "You're wrong,” Mathers said hotly. "This plan has'never been tried under circumstances like these, with a picked body of men in an area with virgin soil that can be tilled. But you don’t have to believe me. I'm not trying to ‘ convince you of anything. Wfc just want to be let alone.” "You’re making a lot of noise for a man who don’t want to convince nobpdy,” Gene Dillingham jeered. “Go back to your camp, Mathers,” I said wearily. "Beeson, I promised Mrs. Pardee that we would not touch an acre of your range. We’re settling on the West Fork above Carlton.” “There isn't room for fifty families on the West Fork,” I said. “Besides, what do you think Alec Dodson will do? You’re headed for his range.” “Will!” Curly King was on his feet, a forefinger pointed at a rider on the road south of us. “It’s a woman! She just came out of the brush.” ? Dillingham swore. J guess we saw her at the same time, a second after Curly pointed her out. "Who is she ?” I lined my rifle on Mathers. "Where’s she g 0... ... ing?” ' ’ “Don’t!” Mathers shouted. He was looking at Gene Dillingham. "Don’t shoot her!” I wheeled on Dillingham just as his finger was tightening on the trigger. I knocked the barrel up a split second before he could t get a shot off. He might have missed anyhow, for the girl was a long’ way away, and moving fast; but he might have hit her.

Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey calls the war-born tax incentive to business “an artificial stimulus of a dangerous type.” Rapid write-offs, according to Humphrey,^.will cost the government three billion dollars and postpone the day “when general tax reduction ean be enjoyed by all the people.” Basically the rapid write-off is a government incentive to firms that put up defense plants they may not necessarily want or need. The write-off lets them charge sor L the tax purposes the cost of the expansion over five years instead

too, ano ma i was me worst tmng I could think of. My voice trembled when I said: "That’s the,finish for you, Gene. You’re fired!” He tipped his big head forward, scowling. “Sarah Pardee will have to say that before I believe it. Besides, you’re going to need me. There’s Just three of us, Mathers. Nobody up there on the hill. Come and get us. You can wipe us out” * “It won’t be necessary,” Mathers said. "ThaDwas my daughter Nela. She’s gone after Mrs. Pardee.* He waded back across the creek and strode, down the road toward where he had left his colonists. We might as well go home, I thought miserably. My one great hope had been to hold Mathers in the canyon so that he would have no chance to see or talk to Sarah. If 1 had been able to turn Mathers back, I could have faced Sarah and told her what we had done. She could tongue whip me, but she couldn't change what had been done. Now everything was different Dogbone would harness the buggy and half kill our team ofebays getting Sarah here. I couldn’t face her, knowing that the job wasn’t done and that in a matter of hours Mathers would be leading his pilgrims up the canyon regardless of us. "We’re going home,” I said, and motioned for Dillingham to go ahead,of me. I expected trouble with him, but he was docile enough. We mounted and started back the way we had come, a smile on Dillingham’s heavy-lipped mouth. I didn't understand it, but I didn’t think much about it just then. I was nagged by another thought, one that was far more important than any which concerned Gene Dillingham. I was a coward. Not physically, but morally. Maybe that was worse. I knew I was right, but that didn’t give me the strength I needed to defy Sarah. When we reached the Box P, I saw that Mathers' daughter had beaten us. She had pushed her horse hard, and she must have been a good rider. As we pulled up in front of the house, she was standing beside her horse, a tight, defiant smile on her lips as she watched us ride in. Dogbone had harnessed the bays .and hooked them to the buggy. Now he came out of the house, pushing Sarah In her wheel chair. I stopped beside the buggy, Curly and Dillingham behind me, and waited, hot looking at Nela Mathers. She had reason to lord it over me, I thought bit-, terly. Because of her the colonists had won without firing a shot We sat our saddles, motionless, until Dogbone stopped Sarah's I chair beside the buggy. I forced

This means it must continue to pay interest on notes, bonds and the like Which might otherwise be paid off Hance Humphrey's three - billion-doliar figure. The government has granted rapid write-offs in as many as 229 fields. But largely through Humphrey’s needling and a different attitude in the Office of Defense Mobilization, only four fields are now open for the tax benefits.

myself to bring my gaze to Sarah. I expected her face to be dark and lined with fury. It wasn’t She seemed as serene as ever, and when she spoke her voice wafc soft and courteous. ♦“Get down and come into the house, Will,” she said. “Dogbone, you can unhook. I won’t be needing the buggy.” I stepped down and handed the reins to Curly. I said: “I fired Gene. He says he’s got to hear you say it." “Then he’ll hear me say it,’’ she said crisply. "You’re fired, Gene. Pack your war sack, then come to the house aftd get your time.” He didn’t say a word. He rode to the bunkhouse, smiling again, as if enjoying a secret joke. Just Sarah and the Mathers girl and me remained in front of the house. Sarah said: “Will, I want you to meet Nela Mathers. Nela, this is my foreman and partner, Will Beeson.” I was forced to 6 turn to her. She held her hand out, a quick, direct motion, and when I extended my hand she gave it a firm grip. “I’m glad to meet you, Mr. Beeson. My father has spoken of you many times." “You can go back and tell your father he can bring his wagons up the canyon,” I said. “He will have no more trouble with the Box P.” She nodded as if that was what she expected to hear. “Thank you. I understand why you aren’t happy to meet me." / We were silent for a moment, facing each other. • She studied me very carefully, in no way abashed, and despite the fact that I was prepared to hate her I found myself admiring her selfpossession and calm courage. Nela Mathers was not a beautiful girl, and hardly even a pretty one. She was wearing a dark brown riding skirt, a tan blouse, and a leather jacket, with a broad-brimmed hat that was held in place by a chin strap. She was about twenty, I Judged, but more mature than most girls of that age, fullbosomed, of average height, and neither too slender nor too heavy. Her eyes were gray, her hair dark brown, her chin strong. A man could see these things In one glance, but there was more to her than that, more than a man would see in a thousand glances. I brought my gaze to Sarah's face, and looked back at Nela Mathers the next second, my eyes pulled there by som< force which I # did not understand •Tve had the short end of the stick from the day Joe died, and now I’m gonna give tt back. Take off your gun. Beeson.”—Will's challenger makes his threat a reality in Chapter 16 of "Gunlock" tomorrow.

Slack Sales Boom For Casual Attire . , • Started Business Seven Years Ago NEW YORK (UP) —Robert J. Evans gets to work at 8 am. In an office 33 stories above his native New York and doesn’t leave until 7 p.m. He eats lunch in the office, while barking orders into a squawk box on his fancy, semicircular desk. He's in love with his business. He’s in ladies' slacks, and the women's slack business is anything but slack. "I started seven years ago with one pair of slacks," he said. "Now the business is several million a year. (Dollars, he means.) We claim to be the largest betterslack firm in America.” Whither slacks? "Becoming more tapered—but not skin-tight,” Evans says. "Just a sleek, tapered type so all women can wear them" Emphasis On Casual Wear The big impetus for slacks, Iw says,-has been the movement toward suburban living, with emphasis on casual attire. Evans, at 27, is in a skirts manufacturing firm as vice president in charge of its subsidiary which makes slacks, shorts, and active sportswear. A pertinent question right now is—whither Evans? "Every buyer who comes in wants to know the whole story,” he says. "They ask me: -You gonna stay in business?’ I can’t answer. Right now, if I had to make a choice between movies and skirts. I’d choose skirts. I feel more secure here, where I can make decisions, havg control over myself.” During the last half year, Evans has been leading a divided life. Part slacks, part movie actor. Hollywood drafted him entirely by accident, he says. There he wks, last November, at the pool of the Beverly Hills Hotel, barking business . about slacks into a poolside telephone, Norma Shearer watched him project and decided he closely resembled her late husband, Irving Thalberg, who was a movie executive at age 21. fakes Screen Test "I told her I had little interest in being a movie actor, that I was in business in New York,” he says. “But she persuaded me to come for a screen test,, and I think the movie bosses there sort of resented it—a dress man coming to play in a picture ” Evans as a youngster had been in radio plays. He tested out fine and played Thalbert in the Lon Chaney life story, “The Man With A Thousand Faces.” Not long afterward Darryl Zanuck saw him in a New York nightclub and picked him for a starring role a? a matador in “Death in the Afternoon.” Both pictures will open in New York next month. Evans doesn’t know what the garment industry will think of him then. The many critics of the program charge that some favored firms are getting the government to do their expansion borrowing for them in a booming economy and a "tight money’’ market. Business Calls It "Reward” Business interests, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, claim the system is a just reward for a firm that expands along lines dictated by national security. Humphrey conceded the write-off might have been a good device to meet the Korean emergency and a desirable alternative to government construction and ownership of plants private industry wasn’t eager to build. But he said this was “far different” from giving a fast write-off to “select industries for general purpose plants.” Humphrey’s attitude, along with that of Defense Mobilizer Gordon Gray, is to shelve the writeoff except for extremely specialized lines such as guided missile production where private industry is unlikely to venture on its own. The green cap at the stem end of the strawberry is an indication of its freshness. If the caps are* missing the berries probably are over-ripe. Paint brushes need cleaning after each use. If pae.it, varnish or shellac is allowed to dry in a brush it never again is free of dried flecks. To clean, scrape off excess paint from the brush, against the edge of the can. Then swipe back and forth on newspapers. Wash several times in the liquid used as a thinner. Then, Wash the brush in soap or detergent suds, rinse , and dry.
