Trash collection is on in full force this week. This collection of accumulated trash is made several times each year to residents in keeping their properties rubbish-free. If you are missed in the city-wide collection, call the City Hall. o——o - Traffic in Decatur was orderly Sunday. There are still those few who make speedways out of our streets and they will continue to do so until there is a severe crackdown by officials. It is discouraging to make arrests and then see the effort end in a mere j. aiding. « ■■a o 1 The district Boy Scout Camporee has been scheduled for Berne, September 27 to 39. That city is capable of handling the annual affair and our guess is that it will be done in fine fashion. It win be a great two days for the “men of tomorrow." . , ,O' " O'— Postal and other federal employes will have to wait at least next year for a wage boost. Pres.dujt Eisenhower has seen fit to veto the pay hike legislation. Since this has happened, it would seem fair that all government units tighten their spending belt and act accordingly. ——o o—— Metropolitan retail shopping, according to the Chicago Federal Reserve bank in its monthly bulletin, "Business Conditions" says the brightest spot in business is again retail trade which has showed a big gain in recent weeks. An optimistic view of the future taken by farmers also is a high spot. Maybe we’re coming out of the recent slump and all indications point to a big fourth quarter for the current year. .—o o— — The stubborn action of Governor Faubus of Arkansas in defying the national government and the federal constitution should prove our point pretty decisively that Southern Democrats do not have the good of the nation at heart |n many of a their actions. The Democratic leadership has been ii the bands of two Texans for several years and these men have constantly embarrassed thousands of good people and good Democrats. Let’s have a Party riddance of these "headaches" and others who would flaunt the Constitution and the people in favor of any section of the nation.

You can talk all you want to about getting new manufacturing plants to locate in Decatur. One of the prime factors in obtaining new industry Includes favorable utility rates and favorable tax rates. Along with a reduction in proposed tax rates, citizens also Should be most concerned over high utility rates. This is important to us as home owners and important to us as a prospective location for new industry. O' 0 ■■■■ A big and orderly crowd greeted Decatur high school’s 1957 Yellow Jacket football team as it opened its five game home season last Friday night by edging Auburn high school by the thlnest of margins, 14-13. It was a well played game tor an opener and indicated that Coach Worthman’s charges were ready for the gruelling season. Traffic was well handled and the crowd dispersed in a few minutes after the game ended. It was a great first night for the high school set, but the celebrations were orderly. —o o-— There have been 11 8500.00 contributions toward furnishing new rooms at the Adams county Memorial hospital and there are indications that there will be several more in the next two weeks. It is wonderful to live in a community with so many unselfish people. All of these room donations have been made without solicitation. They are indeed fitting memorials to loved ones and each one will be appreciated not only . by trustees ot .the..hospital, but also by the general public. o-—p Purdue and Indiana Universities apparently are pointing in the right direction by considering a joint building to house its Fort Wayne extension activities. Have they gone far enough. Why not combine other state colleges and then combine the administration and teaching facilities? For graduates a state college diploma could be awarded and those who woftld be required to have a certain amount of campus residence, could choose their school later. This move would be more economical and perhaps would make all of our state schools stronger eventually. People who pay the upkeep have wondered for years why there is so much overlapping in course offered by various state colleges.

WHAT IS HAPPENING The well-known Cool A Lam private investigating agency has a troublesome new case, tracing a missing person for a Texan client, Lawton Corning. After having indicated that his problem was an oil well deal, the Texan employs the agency to And a Mrs. Drury Wells. Donald Lam and his partner. Bertha Cool, ask a 81.000 retainer, but Coming agrees only to a 3150 advance. The Texan explains. "This Is relatively a small case. I want to keep it small.'* Donald, the narrator of the story, drives to the home of Drury Wells in Southern California and finds Wells to be both uncooperative and unconcerned about his wife. Wells simply says that she walked out on him three days earlier. However, a neighbor, Mrs. Frances Raleigh, blurts out suspicions of what nas happened to Mrs. Wells. She tells Donald that she heard a fight at night, a scream, a thud, then silence. followed by Drury Wells' trip to his garage with a big bundle like a woman’s body rolled up in a rug over his shoulder. . . . CHAPTER 5 ’’LIE WAS CARRYING a worni* an’s body? Could you see her?” I asked Mrs. Raleigh. “Os course not. The poor creature was all rolled up in a blanket or a rug. or something, I couldn’t see her, but I could see him. The way that bundle acted, it was just exactly as though a body was inside It It was over his shoulder, and it was heavy and sort of wiggling back and forth, the way a warm, limp body would be wiggling. Well, not wiggling, but swaying. And he went inside the garage, and I saw the garage light come on. And then I heard the door of the trunk compartment bang shut You know the kind of a tinny sound that you get from slamming down the trunk door on a car." “Can you describe her?” I asked. _4—— "She was rather small and very good-looking. She wasn't over twenty-six and she may have been younger. I don’t know what in the world a woman like that could see in a man like Drury ■s Wells. I don’t think she weighed over a hundred and ten or twelve, and she was about five feet and two inches tall.” . _ "What color were her eyes?” "Blue. She had natural red hair and she certainly looked mighty cute in her shorts. She nearly always wore them.” I said, “1 suppose you went back to bed after he—?” "Went back to bed, nothing! I sat there and watched, and do you know what happened, Mr. Lam? That man went out back of the garage and picked up a shovel and a pick.” "Was there enough light so you could see what he picked up?” ' "Well, not enough so that I could swear to it by seeing it, but I heard the end of the pick knock against the shovel You know the kind sound—metal on metal." "Go on,” I said. • 1937 by Brte SUnley Gardner. From U

Wicker Furniture Wicker furniture can be cleaned by scrubbing with a not-too-hard brush lukewarm soapy water. Rinse by turning the hose on it. Oily Skin If the skin of the face is oily, try washing it once a day in fresh water, to which the juice of a lemon has been added. Care of Sponges The bath sponges will become sour and harened if not given the proper care. After using, wring out the sponge in dear water to remove all soap, then dry it as quickly as possile. Wash the sponge occasionally in salt water. Green Corn Do not cook green corn longer than twenty minutes in boiling water. The kettle should not be covered. It is twice as tender if the shucks are left on. Pen Cleanser Keep a small bottle of ammonia on the desk. A dip of the pen in the ammonia will make it as clean as when new.

"Well, he put off the lights in the house, he loaded the pick and shovel in the automobile and turned out the lights in the garage, and then he eased the car out along the driveway until the house was between me and the car. He stopped the car there for a few minutes, then he drove out to the street and took off." “I take it,” I said, “you notified the police?” “Notified the police!” she exclaimed. ’lt was bad enough when I notified my husband! The minute I told him about it, he almost snapped my head off. He told me If I stayed in my bed at nights instead of wandering around in a bathrobe looking for scandal, that I'd live a lot happier life,” “When did Wells return?" "He returned in two hours and forty-five minutes. Now, the way I figure it out, Mr. Lam, is this: He must have gone down to one of the beaches.” "Why?” I asked. "Because," she said, "that’s the only place you could bury a body and get back in two hours and forty-five minutes. Even then, he’d have to do some pretty fast driving and there wouldn't be time for a very deep grave. You take a man digging with a shovel, and if he's digging in the right kind of moist sand, I figure he can dig a pretty good grave in forty-five minutes.” “You saw him drive in?” I asked. "Yes.” "Did you see him take anything out of the car?” "No. He just drove the car into the garage and then went inside the house. I saw the light come on in the kitchen.” “And you didn't see Mrs. Wells after that?” “That I did not." "What did you do ?" "Well, I didn’t do anything. That is, I— Well, I did have to borrow a little sugar late that morning. I found I was all out of sugar, so I went over and z knocked on the kitchen door the way I always do with neighbors, just being neighborly, you know,” "And what happened?" "Mr. Wells came to the kitchen door, and I asked him if I could talk with Mrs. Wells, and he said she was lying down, that she had a headache, and he asked me what I wanted, and I told him I wanted a cup of sugar. So he went and got me the cup of sugar.” "Was that the last that you borrowed?” "That was the last that I borrowed. Only I returned it later on. I filled the cup right up with sugar and took it over to the kitchendoor." "And asked for Mrs. Wells?" “That’s right." "And what did he tell you?" Um book bubhMwd br Wiliiwa Morrow A Co

“He said Mrs. Wells had taken the bus uptown. And I know verj well she hadn't, because I'd been watching that house. I know she wasn't around there anyplace.” •Whom else have you told thia to, Mrs. Raleigh?” "Well, there was some gentleman named Corning, a big, outdoor type of man, who came here yesterday afternoon and said that he was trying to get some information about the people next door. I talked to him a little—not too much because Wendell has always cautioned me about talking too much to strangers.” "You told him substantially what you've told me?” "Well, I answered his questions. I certainly wasn't going to stick my neck out with a lot of surmises, but I wasn’t going to be churlish and not answer the man's questions.” I said, “I want to compliment you on your powers of observation. If you don’t mind my saying so, I think that you'd have male an excellent detective.” "Now, do you really'." she said, teaming all over. "Well, that’s really a compliment, Mr. Lam. Now, that’s something I'd like to have my husband hear.” We shook hands and I went back over to Drury Wells’ place. I rang the front doorbell. A voice from the inside called, “Who is it?” "Lam,” I shouted through the closed door. "What do you want?" "A picture of your wife. Have you got one?” "No!” I tried the door. The latch was on. I walked away from the front door, around to the back of the house. I looked in the garage. The jalopy in there was pretty much battered up. I was making a note of the license number when the light on my notebook suddenly grew dim. I looked back over my shoulder. Wells was standing in the door. around my place,” he said. "Any objection if I look in your automobile?” I asked. “Yes.” I eased along the wall of the garage and got out the door. "You don't need to come back,” Wells told me. "And you might tell that nosy old biddy over there next door that if she keeps on shooting off her mouth, I’m going to see a lawyer.” “That would cost you money,", I told him. “You might call the police and ask them V> talk with her.” "You know where you can go,” he told me. He followed me out, stood watching me as I walked ovST to . the neighbors on the other side of his house. (To Be Continued) a. Dwtrlbuted by King Features SyndkzU.

0 9 County Agent's Column 0 ■» • Buy flood Seed Good soed Is the basis for a good wheat crops, reports Purdue agropomists. Plan now to get seed of a recommended variety which has high germination and is relatively free of loose smut. Then treat the seed with one of the recommended seed treating materials. Chemical seed treatment prevents stinking smut and helps control seedling blight. It pays to apply adequate amounts of plant food to wheat. Have your soil tested now and find out how much is needed. Early September is a good time to seed rye for late fall, winter and early spring pasture. Balbo is the preferred variety as it causes less tainting of the milk than common rye when grazed by dairy cows. Sow about six pecks per acre and fertilize liberally with a complete fertilizer such as 4-16-16, 16-10-10, etc. It can also be disked into legume and grass pasture or meadow that win be plowed for corn next year. A good patch of rye near the buildings is excellent for sows, pigs, cattle and sheep. To avoid injuring alfalfa, cut no later than first week of September in northern Indiana. Cutting when new shoots appear at the crown is not a reliable guide to follow. Fertilize alfalfa-grass mixtures during September. For best results follow Purdue soil test recommendations. Fall fertilization helps the plant roots store food for making early gsowth next spring. Farm animals that eat wilted sudan grass, sorghums and wild cherry leaves may become poisoned with prussic acid, cautioned Leo N. Seltenright, county agent. Such animals will show a paralysis and die rapidly. Chemical changes also occur in sudan grass when the normal growth is slower as in a growth or when frosted. Fields should be inspected for wilted or stunted areas before pasturing livestock. Loose branches of wild cherry should be picked up following wind storms. If animals show signs of poisoning a veterinarian should be called promptly. Animals near death will often recover when treated properly. Following are some tips for insect control, from the county extension office. Spray cattle for louse control in late September. A treatment at this time will prevent the buildup of lice that normally occur throughout the winter months. Lindane is the material of choice for use on beef cattle, whereas methoxychlor or rotenone are suggested oh dairy cattle. Dual wheat is a new variety resistant to the Hessian fly and can be planted any time the grower desires. All other wheat varieties, however, should be planted after the fly free date in order to escape damage by this destructive pest. The time to control box-elder bugs in when they start to leave box-elder trees and cluster in red masses on tree truks, process and foundation walls. Use a 15 percent dieldrin concentrate diluted at the rate of 2 pints of the concentrate in 8 gallons of water. Spot spraying is of little value. Enough material must be used to wet thoroughly any and all surfaces over which the bugs crawl. COURT NEWS Marriage Licenses Bert Edwin Affolder, 19, Berne, and Sylvia Sue Aker. 18, Craigville.
