Unless the state tax board does some real clipping from the proposed budgets, Adams county and Decatur are going to have some mighty high tax rates. We still believe that almost every budget presented so far can be reduced very materially without hurting our services one iota. 0 0 These are beautiful days and beautifuler nights. Temperatures are cool most of the day with a little warmer weather right in the middle of the day. Our only rebut after all we live in about the gret is that it gets dark too soon, best climate in the world most of the year. O 0 We have found this summer that Decatur is badly in need of a second swimming pool to accomodate the hundreds al children and adults who enjoy this sport. There are several sites which would make an excellent location for a second pool and we hope that the Council gives the matter serious consideration. O O— Drivers of school busses have an obligation. They have the task of getting their riders to school and back home safely. Some of them take chances by running stop signs and speeding across railroad tracks. They should be most careful to observe all of the traffic laws. Motorists who violate the statutes regarding school busses get stiff penalties and so should school bus drivers. It isn’t all one-sided. O O The tomato crop so far this fall has been disappointing and indications are the harvest will be small and the quality won’t be as good as in recent years. Late & planting and insufficient growing weather are given as the causes.

The tomato factory runs will be short in most of this area, it has been stated. Most crops are grading out the same way. with a possibility that beans may be average when the whole crop is harvests O—O . There was a time not long ago when a majority of our population was either directly or indirectly engaged in agriculture. Today only a small percentage are engage ly a small percentage are engaged in this profession, still these few, thanks to tractors a*d other modern farm equipment, do the work formerly done by many more farmers. The farm tractor has probably done more to revolutionize agriculture and farm life than any other invention. O 0 The batter who gets on first or second base has a chance to go places. But if he is to score he must get past third. The same principle bolds for polio vaccination. Here’s the way it works: The Salk vaccine sets up protecting antibodies in the bloodstream that prevent the polio virus from destroying the nerve cells, thus paralyzing the muscles. One shot of vaccine sets up antibodies in some people. Two shots set up antibodies in people who did not react to the first shot. Three shots set up antibodies in about 90 per cent of the people and provide maximum immunity - - that is, the most protection for the longest time. If you’re one of the more than 70 million people who have had your first shot, remember this: three are essential. Like a baseball batter, you must be “safe on third" before you can score in the polio war. And if you’re one of the 39 million under 40 years of age who have had no shots at all, you’d better go to bat at once.

As soon as the wedding invitation is received, and the gift should always be sent to the bride, even though you know only the bridegroom. Q. Is it permissible to sip water at the table while one has food in erne’s mouth? A. This is considered bad manners. Only when one has taken a bite of food into the mouth that is too hot is a sip of water condoned. Q. Should a woman keep her hat on when at an afternoon card party? A. She should remove It if the party is in a private home. If in' a public place, she may either remove it or keep it on, as she wishes. . Q If I received a telephone call while entertaining a guest, should I explain at once to the person calling that I have a guest and cannot talk? A. If the call is unimportant, you can explain and offer to, nail back later. If, however, the call is important, it takes precedence’ over the entertainment of your guest. Q. If it so happens that a bride-, elect has already had ttye .oppqrn tunity to thank a donor verbally for a gift received, is it still necessary for her to write a note of thanks? . A. Yes, and as soon as possible. Q. Is it correct to eat strawberry shortcake with the fork* Os

WHAT IS HAPPgNINO g 1 Donald Lam and Bertha Cool, the doughty pair of private detectives whose exploits were recounted in “Beware the Curves," "Double or Quits’* and a dozen other enormously popular novels, are embarked on a new case. Donald, the narrator of the story, arrives at the Cool & Lam office to find his partner in profane mood. She fears Donald's tardiness may have cost them a big fee, because a prospective client. Lawton Corning, was disappointed by his finding a woman in charge of the agency. Bertha's explosion is halted by the reappearance of Coming, who restates his problem to Donald. Coming says he wants a woman. Mrs. Drury Wells, traced. This is a switch in the assignment he discussed with Bertha on his first visit “You told me it was an oil deal,” Bertha reminds him, without changing Coming’s mind. Lam smooths Bertha’s ruffled feelings and hears the rest of Corning’s story: Drury Wells believes his wife, Yvonne, ran off with another man. A neighbor of the Wellses. Mrs. Frances Raleigh, thinks she was murdered. ... CHAPTER 3 NJUMBER 1638 Frostmore Road IN was a white bungalow that needed a job of face lifting. It was too big for a dollhouse, too small for a comfortable residence, but the lines were rather pretentious. It would have looked well in the classified-ad section, one of those places that could be described as "two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, living room, dining room, service porch, surrounded by sunlight, beautiful view of the mountains.** I knew the type of house—bedrooms were so small you could put twin beds against the walls and barely have parking space for a pair of slippers in between. The theoretical'line of demarcation between the living room and the dining room would be all but infinitesimal; in practice there wouldn’t be any. The kitchen would be about the size of a kitchen in a house trailer. Drury Wells answered my ring. He was a pale-eyed, tall, drooping, slow-moving, slow-talking. He was about thirty-five. He wore a faded blue shirt, patched overalls, and thick-soled shoes cut on an Army last. He didn’t seem to give a damn about his personal appearance. In fact, he didA> seem to give a damn about anything. "Hello,” he said, "what can 1 do for you?" "My name’s Donald Lam.” "How arc you, Mr. Uni?” We shook hands. "I’m a detective,” I said- " The hell!” he announced. — "Private.” ' © 1937 by Erie Stanley Gardner. From lb

The fork should be used. > 9 i Household Scrapbook J I BY ROBBRTA LBB | Wall Paper For grease spots and other similar blemishes on wall paper, try holding a clean white blotter over the ‘spot with a warm iron for several .minutes. The heat should melt the oil or grease so it can be absored by the blotter. Oilcloth Cleaner Oilcloth can be cleaned by the following method: Dissolve five ounces of melted paraffin in one pint of turpentine. Use a sponge and rub the oilcloth with this solution. - Olive Oil A small pinch of salt; added to the olive oil, if the taste is considered unpleasant, will make it agreeable. 2Z Vegetable Dish An attractive vegetable dish can ■be. rftade with carrots and string 'beans,l placing the carrots in the center ofLthe dish and the beans around the edge.

Smoke if you want.” He led the way into the dollhouse living room. The one upholstered chair in the room might have been stuffed with gunny sacks on a cement base. He gave me that chair and drew up a straight-backed chair. “When did you last see your wife?” I asked. "Three days ago.” "How long have you been living here "Not much longer than that. We had an argument two or three days after we moved in.” "And she left?” "That’s right.” "When ? Night ? Morning ? Afternoon ?” "She was gone when I got up in the morning.” "Do you get up early?” "Not unless I have to. I like to lie in bed when I can." "And you were in bed that morning?” "That's right. She topk off without even fixing breakfast for me!” “I see,” I said. “Left it all for you to do. Is that right?” “TUat’s right.” "Tough,” I commented. “What did you fight about?” "Nothing." “Did she leqve you a note saying she was going away ?" "Left me nothing except some dirty dishes in the sink." "Supper dishes?” "No, she evidently had herself a cup of coffee and a couple of eggs and some toast before she pulled out.” “You didn’t hear her cooking breakfast?” ■‘No. She must have been pussyfooting around the kitchen.” “You didn’t smell the coffee?" "No.” "How many clothes did she take with her ? Did she clean out her closet?” “Nope.” "Do you know her clothes well enough to know what’s missing?” "Nope.” “How about relatives?” I asked. "Does your wife have any relatives she could have gone to?” "I can't tell. Wc don’t go in 4 book publirtied by William Morrow A Co.
