More and more doctors are joining in the claim that cigarets are a contributing factor in lung cancer, and yet the sale of cigarets continues to increase. We‘re a strange group, we we not only have to have it proved, but then we'll gamble with the use of cigarets, maybe until it is too late. 0 O The Indiana State Fair, August 28 through September 6. always a big attraction for Adams county people will be the most attractive Vises’^ 3 '-- • for visitors of any in its long history. There will be something of interest tor every member of the family and indications are this year’s great spectacle will far out distance all others in attendance. Everyone of us should plan to spend at least a day at this great event. O o Last week, we received a deluge of People’s Voice letters. Not a single one was signed by the writer. The letters were not malicious and most of them were interesting to read. The Daily Democrat, however has had a policy of standing that unsigned letters of this type would not be published. If any of the writers want their letters published, they are welcome to re-write the letter and sign it We are glad to publish the views of our readers, provided they are expressed la good faith and signed, so that they may be checked prior to publication. ——O—-—O——— The budget makers who say we’ll raise the rate because Bluffton, Auburn, Warsaw and Columbia City have higher rates is making a rather empty claim. What does it matter what other feity’s rates are. We should be in|terested right here in our own Igmnty. Decatur always has been the best of smaller Indiana cities, fwe have always been able to boast low taxes and we should : continue to make this so. Let's take an interest in the approach- • ing tax hearings. If some serv- ' ice club or Chamber of Com- • merce committee or other group • would take the initiative, we be- , Ueve they would get plenty of assistance. If we are not careful, we'll soon be headed for a SIO.OO tax rate in almost every Indiana county.

We had one of those week-ends which we all dream about on cold January Sundays and hot July Saturdays. Weatherwise the days were, perfect, and traffic was orderly. O—O Both the National and American league baseball races have constantly held the Interest of sports fans all season long. As the teams go down to the wire, there is still a fair contest on in each league. The New York Yankees are still being bothered by the pesky White Sox and the Milwaukee Braves can look around and see the St. Louis Cardinals breathing down their neck. Except for a terrible slump, indications are that it will be the Yankees and Braves in the World Series. There are supporters in the Cards and White Sox camps however who will not admit this. The Brooklyn Dodgers, long the dominant team in the Senior circuit, currently in third place, appear destined to finish either third or lower. Only the unpredictable could alter the standing in the Junior league. Its been a wonderful season and should be a series. Os course most of us in the midwest will be pulling for Milwaukee. —JO O A new area Council embodying Adams, Allen, Steuben, Dekalb, and Wells counties is being established in this area for Girl Scouts of America and their junior organization, the Brownies. Several prominent Decatur women including Mrs. Lowell Harper, Mrs. Will Schnepf, Mrs. Doyle Collier and Mrs. R. C. Hersh are assisting in organizing the area set-up. More than $58,000 will be raised for the 1958 operating budget and it has been allocated for the fund raising drive on a population basis. Adams county’s share is about $2,700. Allen county will be asked to bear the largest amount, because it is the largest county. In Adams county there are troops at Geneva, Decatur and Berne. The organization is a worthy one, and while their budget may seem a little large, we are confident the people will respond generously. Explanation of the new area organization will be made to interested people at a meeting called by leaders of the movement for September 19 at the Youth and Community Center.

Lipstick Stains Remove lipstick stain from washable materials by laundering in hot water and soap. White materials can be bleached out with peroxide. For non-washables, apply cleaning fluid to the spot and immediately . press with a clean white blotter over it. The blotter absorbs the red, and you must keep repeating the operation until the blotter no longer shows red. Mirror Repair If bare spots up on the back of a mirror, they can usually be repaired by covering them with tinfoil. Secure the tinfoil to the glass with shellac, dark paint, or glue.

CHAPTER 31 MERLE TURNER'S wagon was IVI not far downstream from the pool where Nela and 1 had spent so many of our Sunday after* noons. He was not in sight. Neither were his horses, but a campfire was burning between the wagon and the creek. I hesitated, a prickle running down my spine: he might be back in the brush taking a bead on me now. But Red had told him- I wouldn’t be back until evening, so maybe he'd cooked a meal here, then gone downstream to one of the other camps. 1 was balancing the possibilities in my mind when Curly said: “Secore’s got his cabin started, Will. Turner height be down there." I nodded and swung down from Roanie. "Keep your eyes peeled,' 1 said, and, gathering a handful of burning sticks, tossed them into the wagon, i had started to pick up some more, but then I saw it wasn't necessary. Inside, a straw tick had caught and blazed up. I stepped into the saddle, saying, "Better move.” We went down the road on the run. 1 saw the smoke of Secore’s campfire, then his wagon as we rounded a turn, the outfit at the other end of a straight stretch. A pile of peeled logs lay on the bank above the creek. Secore was notching one of them. Turner was on the other side of him, using a draw knife. They didn't hear us coming until I fired a shot over their heads and yelled: "Hamess up! You're rolling. Move!" Secore jumped toward his rifle leaning against a wagon wheel, but he didn't make it. Red threw a shot that splintered a spoke next to the rifle barrel. Secore fell flat on his belly and lay there, his hands palm down in the mud. But Turner was another story. He propped his draw knife and pulled his gun. 1 fired and hit him in the side, the bullet turning him partly around, but he held onto his gun and took a shot at me, the bullet slicing through my coat just above my left shoulder. We were close then, all three of us shooting at him. He was driven back on his heels and on down to the ground, dead before he felt I reined up and dismounted. Secorc hadn't moved, probably thinking 1 was going to shoot him. 1 kicked him in the .ribs. "Up!" 1 said. "On your feet." He struggled to ills hands and knees and whimpered as he gripped the wheel behind him. ' “You're a stout one," I said. "Didn’t you think of this when Turner talked you Into it?" "No." He wiped a sleeve across his mouth. "We figured on you j coming tonight. We was gonna

Air Force To Junk More 836 Bombers Junked In Favor Os More Modern Planes WASHINGTON (W — The Air Force said today it has earmarked for junking 105 more 836 superbombers, America’s original 'massive retaliation’’ weapon, in favor df modern 852 hydrogen bombers. Ninety-five of the now-outmdd-ed bombers already have been broken up and salvaged after almost 10 years as the main intercontinental punch of the Strategic Air Command. Their salvage was $44,400,000. The controversial 836 went into service in the late 1940 s as a plane which could deliver a 10,-000-pound bomb load over a 10,-000-mile range. At one point, Adm. Arthur W. Radford, then Pacific Fleet comnps— ■

set a trap at his wagon." 1 i “Cut us down from the back," • 1 said. "The four of you. That < ; right?" ’ “That's right. Had a sure-fire t . deal Turner and Dillingham was i i gonna pay us SI,OOO apiece if we t got all three of you.” 1 ‘Rage took hold of me then, i ' and the red haze that swept in i t front of my eyes was so thick 1 < s could hardly see the man. i [ 4 shook my head, and the haze , disappeared. 1 asked, "Where’s 1 Dillingham?" 1 > “1 don’t know. So help me, I ’ don't know. He pulled out this ; - morning, but he was gonna be ; at Turner’s wagon tonight." i I stared at him. Sweat poured 1 : down his face. 1 couldn’t tell i whether he was lying or not. i Then he said, "Maybe he’s in < ’ town." 1 I I still held the gun, thinking < i that what he said was probably » the truth; but apparently he I I thought he hadn’t told me i , enough. He pointed a trembling < I finger at Turner’s body. “He’s i got a money belt. It’s filled with i gold he got from Anchor cattle this summer, him and Dilling- : i ham. 1 mean, he’s got his share i i on him." ! I eased down the hammer of | i my gun and bolstered it. “Har- 1 ness up,” 1 said. "Give him a i hand, Red." i 1 walked through the mud to 1 i Turner’s bullet-riddled body, un- i latched his money belt, and jerked i it free. Heavy! John Mathers i was luckier than he had any right ’ to be. 1 "Red, you ride alongside Se- i core,” I said. “Keep him rolling. < If he makes a bad move, plug t him." "Not me," Secore said. "I’ve i got my bellyful of this country." j “You’re going down the canyon." 1 said. “All of you. To- 1 night. If you ever come back, i you’ll swing. Savvy that?" 1 “1 ain't coming back.” 1 Jerked my head at Curly and 4 we mounted. Troy's outfit was s next. We found his wife and chil- x dren, but no mam. “Where is he?" 1 asked Mrs. Troy. a “In town,” she said. “With t Runyan.” I believed her. I asked, “Can you drive your team?” t “Yes,” she said. a “Hamess up for her,” I told t Curly. “Throw their stuff into the wagon.” What Kind of men ti were Troy and Runyan, 1 won- t dered, who had time to go to t town with a cabin not even start- v ed and winter at hand? Then, as v 1 mounted, the answer came to d me. Then had never planned to 1< make their homes here. They in- a tended to take the money Dilling- ii ham and Turner were going to give them to murder me and Red and Curly and get out of the country. Weil, John Mathers had picked up some beauties to build i

mander and recently retired as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called the 836 program a “billion-dollar blunder.” He did not believe at the time it could carry out the war-deterrent or retaliation role assigned it by the Truman administration. The Air Force contended the 836 s have been major peace keepers without ever firing a shot in anger. Now they are giving way to the much faster, eight- ; jet 8525. Os the 200836 s slated for the 1 scrap heap, 95 so far have been 1 reclaimed. Page Airways Inc., Rochester, ’ N. Y., bought the stripped-down 1 fuselage of the 95 planes for the • total of $831,345. • Drag Strip Driver Is Killed Sunday ’ DAYTON, Ohio (UP) —Thomas 1 E.

his Great Tomorrow. “Ride alongside her,'* 1 ordered Curly, and as I started downstream 1 looked back and saw that Secore was in the road, Red riding beside him. Mrs. Runyan was neither frightened nor defiant. She just seemed resigned. She looked at me. a big bony woman, her hands on her hips. She said: **You want us to pull out. That it?” "That’s it," 1 said. I helped her hook up, and by that time Secore and Mrs. Troy were not far behind. 1 said: "I’m going after Runyan and Troy. You're taking your wagon down the canyon and you’re going to keep right on rolling. Do you understand that?” "I ain't stupid,” she said. "Go easy on my man, will you? He ain’t much, but he’s the best I’ll ever get." 1 whirled Roanie back toward Carlton. If Dillingham saw me, the chances were he’d cut me down. But he wasn’t expecting me back until tonight, so he probably wouldn’t be watching. I stopped in front of Delaney’s ’ and went in. 1 was lucky. Troy and Runyan were both there, standing on opposite sides of the potbellied stove as they talked to Delaney. They didn’t recognize me until I was within ten feet of them. When they did, they were as scared as Secore had been. 1 said: "Turner’s dead. Your wagons are on the way here now. You're leaving the valley today and you’re going clear to the river before you stop. If you come back, you can figure on trouble like you’ve never seen." “We won’t be back,” Troy said, and edged toward the door, Runyan following. Delaney gave me a sneering look. He had backed against the wall to be out of the line of fire if anything broke loose. I said, "You don't like It here any more, do you, Art? You’d sell out quick if you had a buyer, wouldn't you?” "Yeah, you bet I would.” The sneering expression was replaced by one of greedy interest “What’re you driving at?” "Til be back when 1 get these boys started down the creek," I said, and motioned them toward the door. 1 held them outside on their horses, my gun in my hand until their wagons reached town. They tied their horses behind the wagons and got up on the seats with their wives. They turned down the creek toward the Arkansas, Red and Curly waving it me. I waved back and went nlo the store.
