O O—Progress is apparent at the Adams county memorial hospital as contractors are making every effort to complete the improvement. If there are no further interruptions, it is likely that the new addition will be ready about the first of the year. A great deal. of credit is due to those who both planned and are executing the addition. Our hospital facilities wiU soon rate with the best in this part of the state and wiU serve us even more efficiently than at present Three quarters of a million dol- ' lars is a lot of money and that represents the social security payments in our county over a twelve month period. Almost 1,300 peo- ' pie were the recipients of these payments and they result from the social security program instituted in the 30’s. Contrary opinions notwithstanding, the system is gaining widespread acceptance and is here to stay. Our economy is adjusting itself to the insurance payments and monetary equilibrium has not been upset as we were warned. If it were npt a wise, course, our democratic way would surely have made the necccssary corrections.

In 1944, Van Wert, Ohio recognized its serious water shortage had to be faced and they did face it squarely. A consulting engineer was employed to study and report on the water needs of that city. The report was made but it was not until 1947 that it was revised and the estimated costs were brought up to date. In , 1948 a bond ordinance was endorsed by the city in a November referendum. Bids on the project were received and construction of a new reservoir and treatment plant was begun in September of 1949, reaching completion in June of, .1951,,.Thia, information -is repeated to indicate the length of time required by a city of size comparable to Decatur to lay the ground-work for such a project. Van Wert's plant includes a treatment system, a 360 million gallon reservoir (62 plus acres), raw water pumping station, and new mains to carry the water to towers. Some have estimated that we will be compelled to develop a similar system, at least using a reservoir, so the time rriay be ripe to begin the first, and most logical step, that of giving some thought to our needs of 1965.

CHAPTER 18 AWMVK passed before I rode to Anchor, and even after all i that time my left eye was a great i purple , patch, and every deep breath ’ sent a flash of pain ■ through me that almost doubled me up. I didn’t feel*much like ( riding, but I had to find another , man to replace Gene Dillingham, , and I was determined to see Alec Dodson again. When I rode through Carlton, Art Delaney was sweeping off the walk to front of his store. He waved a fat hand, “Haven’t seen you for quite a spell, WiU. Where you been?’* •'Home." I reined up across the hitch pole from him. "Haven’t felt like sashaying around.” “Dillingham?” I nodded and he said: "Must have been some ruckus. He looks twice as bad as you do.” "Know where I can find a good - cowhand?” "Might get one of Alec Dodson’s boys." He scratched his head, grinning maliciously. "Well, sir, looks like the ghost of Joe Pardee is about to be laid to rest.” I rode on. If I -hadn’t, I’d have got off my horse and given Delaney a whipping. Better wait and ride it out, I thought. The first wagon of the colonists had been pulled into the willows along the creek not more than fifty yards beyond Carlton. I pulled off the road and made a circle through the hills to Anchor, adding an hour to my time, but 1 preferred that to riding past fifty wagons. I didn’t want to see Mathers or his girl or any of them. There would be trouble if I saw them today, with the mood I was in, and I didn’t want trouble right now. When I reached Anchor, Dodson was sitting in front of his house whittling on a piece of cedar. I said, “Howdy, Alec.” His face was as gray as death. He lowered his head and went on whittling. — "The locusts have moved in,” I said. He jumped up. threw the cedar stick to the ground, and started for his house. There was no sense in his acting that way with me. I spurred my horse forward and cut him off from the house. "What the devil’s the matter with you?” I .„ said. ~; He stared At me, tears rolling down his face. "You can see what's the matter without askA ing.” He choked and wiped A hand across his eyes. He turned and pointed down the creek, the white tops of twenty or more of the wagons visible from where we were. “All I’ve got left is , this quarter-section.” He swallowed and wiped his eyes again. “If Joe Pardee was alive, they wouldn’t be here. You're Box P. Why didn't you keep 'em out of ths valtav 7”

"Why, you " 1 started. I "You're president of the cattle-1 men’s association. Call a meet-1 ing.” “No,” he said. “I’ll never call a meeting." He walked around my horse toward the house. I said: '1 fired Dillingham. Got • man you can spare?” He stopped. "Who do yop want?” His men were all good hands, but I knew Red Thurston better than the others, so 1 said, “Red.” and he nodded. ‘TU send him over in a few days,” he said, and went on into the house. Again I circled the wagons, striking the road just above Carlton. As I passed the store, I suddenly remembered that DO- - had said I might get orfe of Dodson’s boys. I wondered bow he knew. ... When I reached Kathy Morgan's house, she was standing at the front gate. She smiled, casing: “Come in for a minute, WiU." I said, "AU right It’s time I was looking at a friendly face. I just came from Anchor.” "How’s Alec?” "Crazy," I said. “Crazy as a toon.” I tied my horse and stepped through the gate. We walked to the house, and I told her what happened. "And- he wants to know why I didn't keep them out es the valley." “That’s like him,” she said. We went in, and she motioned for me to sit down. ’l’ll get you a drink,” she said, and disappeared into the kitchen. I leaned my head against the back of the leather chair. I told myself that from now on my worries were going to be strictly Box P business. Kathy returned a moment later and handed me a glass es whisky. We were silent for a time, and it seemed to me that Joe Pardee was gone from our lives: yet it had been only a short time ago that Kathy and I had sat here just as we were now, both of us saying Joe was haunting us. That was one of the great gifts of time, this healing and forgetting. I started to say something like that to Kathy: then I looked at her, and decided against it I had a feeling that Joe’s death was not forgotten, that the wound had not yet healed. ~ “I expected so much of yorf," Kathy said suddenly, "and you haven’t done the job you could have. I know what happened that morning when Mathers was coming up the canyon. You could have stopped them then, but you missed the chance. And why? Because Sarah has you wound around her little finger. Everybody in the valley knows it but you. She names the song and you sing it. That's right, isn't it ?” “Goar Dillingham's been here, hasn't ha?"

Igney. Voglewede and Anderton, local law firm, has entered appearance for the administratrix of the Helen Lenhart estate. Estate Case* The schedule of all property has been filed in the estate of Emma C. Fuhrman, and ordered referred to the Adams county assessor. The schedule shows $13,264.99 in bank accounts, bonds' and stocks, minus the deductions and expenses of $1,512.60, leaving a grand net total estate of $11,752.39. A notice has been ordered issued returnable August 16, following the filing of the, final report of the Mary Stella Daugherty estate. After all debts and expenses were paid, no balance was left for distribution. In the Joshua N. Burkhead estate. the personal representatives’ inventory has been filed, examined and approved, and the administrator ordered to sell real estate, valued at $31,600, at private sale, for not less than the appraised value. The estate also includes $2,058.28 in bank accounts. The supplemental report for distribution and a petition for discharge have been filed in the John D. Mason estate. The report shows that distribution of $3,237.75 was made to each, Edgar F. Mason, Theodore E. Mason, and John H. Mason; $3,237.76 to Frances Biery; and $612.31 each to Floyd Luginbill, Ruth Abnet. Ester Patch, and Florine Luginbill. Complaint Filed A complaint on contract has been filed by the Commercial Credit Corp., against Jesse Daniels. A summons has been ordered issued to the sheriff of Adams county for the defendant, returnable September 9. Estate Closed The estate of Clyde'C.

No lot is so hard, no aspect o I things so grim, but it relaxes be- ! fore a hearty laugh.

"No," she Mid Impatiently. "I heard about it. in the store. It’s an over the valley, how you bad Mathers stopped: but you let his girl slip past, and because you knew she was going after Sarah, you quit. Partners!" Kathy laughed scornfully. "Why, you’re nothing but a hired hand, WiH." For a moment 1 was angry. Then I wanted to laugh, but I didn't I said, “An right, maybe you can tell me what to do now." "Sure I can," she said. “There’s only one thing that can whip as many as we’ve got in the valley. That’s the climate. Everything’s wonderful with them now—big hopes and dreams and all. But by fan, when their money’s gone and winter’s coming on and their crops haven’t matured . . . well, you know what’U happen." I nodded. The same thought had been in my mind. Time and climate in the end would whip them for us, but I respected John Mathers even if he was a wildeyed dreamer. And his daughter Nela. I wished I could save them from the misery which was bound to lie ahead of them. . I got up. Tm not going to fight a war by myself, if that’s what you’re afraid of." “No, I wasn’t afraid of that, but I have been worried that you wouldn’t be in a position to take charge when the time came." She rose and came to me. “WiH, the nearest law officer is in Canon City. As long as there were just a few of us living here, it didn’t make any difference, but It does now. When the colony breaks up, there may be stealing and killing, and it’s hard to tell what else. What you’ve got to do is to go to Canon City and get yourself appointed deputy. Tsu see what that will do for you?” I thought about K a moment, not at all sure I could get a deputy's badge. A man Hee John Mathers represented fifty votes, a fact that would not be overlooked by the Canon City sheriff as individual settlers had been ignored in the past I knew, too, that if I used force tn the valley I might wind up an outlaw, even if I was a deputy to start with. "Yeah, I see,” I said. "It might do several things for me. I’ll think it over." I turned and left the house. That night Red Thurston rode in, calling out to me, “Hear you - need a good man." . I “That we do," I said. "What happened? I thought Alec wasn’t going to let you go for a few days?” < “You ain’t heard?" he asked, his lips curling tn disgust. When I shook my head, he said, "Alee sold out to John Mathera.” j Will Beeson has reason to wonder what feelings have developed between John Mathers and Sarah Pardee. Continue "Gunlock" her* Monday.

wwSMwwMNMaMitoaBsasNBMwaaaNMMBSMMmiMMBw■ : New Farm Building . Ideas Are Discussed t ; Purdue Engineer At Adams County Farms New ideas for farm buildings were discussed Wednesday and I Thursday when Purdue agricul- , tural engineer John Foley and J county agent Leo N. Seltenright . visited with several county farm- . eri. > Visits were made at the Gerald > Strickler and Paul Kohne farms 5 in Washington township, and the > Herman Franz, Jr., farm in Union township. A swipe set-up to fit in with his present barn was outlined at toe Paul Kohne farm. Kohne has a 20 by 80 foot shed on toe west side of his barn, and wants to . convert it to a farrowing set-up for sowS. The questions of concrete floors to keep the place cool, and farrowing pens or stalls, were hashed over. A set-up with outside feeding for hogs bn toe east side of the barn on a paved barnlot. Both the feeder and water would be outside, with a road or driveway on the east side to allow . filling of feeders with an auger wagon. The arrangement will take care of more than 200 hogs. His beef cattle would be fed on toe south side of the barn on cement slabs, which are easier to clean than the old mud barnyard. An outside feeding arrangement leaves barn space for a bedding area, Foley explained. The barn then stays cleaner and dryer, with a reduced amount of moisture in the barn air. With this arrangement, Foley said, farm- ' ers have less frost inside in the winter, and less peeling of paint. An overhead storage place of feed, and a grinder location to allow automatic feeding, were also discussed. At toe Gerald Strickler farm, Foley found a huge barn with the south side presently used for showpens for Aberdeen-Angus stock, and the north side with a haymow coming to floor level, Strickler and Foley designed a plan to raise the haymaw to overhead position, to allow room on the ground for more showpens. Strickler is presently interested in a beef breeding herd of Angus cattle, and wants space to show off toe animals. An outside show pen for nice weather will be built on the north side of the barn. In the central part of the barn will be a large sawdust show ring, with room for bleachers on toe east side. Foley showed Strickler how an alley on the north side; to the back of the barn, with a loading shoot on the west side, would enable him to load and unload cattle at one place, and take them anywhere in the barn through toe show ; ring area. The three men talked over the building of a stanchion for trimming. fitting, or treating cattle. The drainage around a large barn was also discussed. At the Herman Franz, Jr., farm on Wednesday, a misunderstanding of the date of the visit by Foley led to the former’s ab-

sence. Foley discussed toe problems of feed handling on toe farm with L. E. Archbold, Farm Bureau representative. Franz is interested in a labor-saving feeding arrangement for his beef cattle and hogs. ’ - The possibility of using an augur wagon for a mechanical feeding system was discussed, with . methods of bulk storage for feed. [ The storage would be centrally located, with drives in front of I cement feeding floors outside, t and cattle guards into the cattle feeding lots to allow easy access with the augur wagon. Foley spends much of his week ! in the field seeing arrangements ’ which farmers are now using, ; and studying their adaptability. He visits farms throughout Indiana with suggestions on improve- ’ meats which he has garnered 5 from visits on other farms. Bruce ! McKenzie, another agricultural engineer, has a similar job, and ’ visited here recently. A sense of humor is toe oil of ! life’s engine, without which the machinery creaks and groans. G. ’ S.
