Indications are that much of the flu and cold epidemic in this area is winding up and in another few days, schools and factories and other places hard hit by absenteeism will be back to normal. o—o Pleasant fall temperatures with some rain is on the menu for this week, according to the regional weather guessers, who haven’t done too good guessing the temperatures of the last ten days. We should have weather in the 60 s and 70’s for a while yet and while many mornings have been pretty chilly we have not yet had a real freezing frost. —, o . o Roger Singleton, chairman in Adams county for the Dollar for Democrats fund raising campaign and Mrs. Gerald Vizard, chairman of the women’s division have called a meeting of all precinct committeemen and fund volunteers for Wednesday night at the Community Center. The two-day drive scheduled for October 11 and 12, which will be participated in by Democrats throughout the United States will be the opening of the drive for small contributions upon which the Democrat gleton, active in Democrat cirparty always must depend. Sincles of the county for several years predicts that this year, with victory as the reward, the fund will be the largest in the history of the party. Volunteers are asked to join regular committeemen in the gigantic drive. .Q o The annual Community Fund drive started today with M. J. Pryor in charge. Herman ’ Krueckeberg gave the kick-off talk at the breakfast at the Community Center which started the week of soliciting. Almost all local and county organizations dependent on contributions are members of the Fund. This means that there will not be numerous solicitations for separate groups, and all member groups will share in the one drive. It is an ideal way born for the member organizations and for the contributors. All donations are deductible income tax items. Let’s get behind the drive this year and put it over in the allotted one week’s time. It is a most worthy cause and no doubt will receive the support of every good citizen. Then when independent groups come to you for donations, you can proudly suggest that they become members of the Community Fund, and if their organization is worthy it will be accepted.

CHAPTER 27 PIE APARTMENT HOUSE was one that had the buzzer system. I ran down the list of cards on the side of the door until I came to the name Wanda Warren. I pushed the bell button. A moment later the buzzer signaled that the street door was unlatched. I pushed it open, went in and climbed the stairs to the Warren apartment I pushed the bell button and she opened the door. . “Well, I’ll be a dirty name!” she said. For a moment her eyes widened with apprehension. Then suddenly they softened with laughter. "Where’s your copper friend?” she asked. "The one that chews the wet cigar all the time.” "He’s around." She was dolled up in a neatfitting dark-brown skirt and jacket that showed her figure to advantage. Her hair had been carefully arranged so that every curl was in its proper place. She kicked her best, and her best was very, very good. "Look, Donald,” she said, "it's nice of you to drop in, and I suppose you’re going to want to give me a catechism, but you’re going to have to be a sport and beat it for a while. I haYe a business date with a customer.” Tm the customer,” I told her. "No!” she exclaimed, dismay in her eyes. „ "Why not?” I asked. "You . . .! Why, I thought—” I showed her the address written by Norwalk Lykens, and the receipt he’d given me for the fee. “Well,” she said, “come on in. So you’re my new boss. What’ll we do?” I followed her into the apartment She closed the door, stood looking at me for a moment, said, "Take the load off your feet Make yourself at home. You didh’t arrange to hire me just to sit here and talk, did you?” "No,” I said. "What do we do?" "What will you do?" "You ten me what you want and I’ll tell you if Ml do it" I said, “You were posing as Mrs. Wells. Why?” “Didn’t I make a good-looking Mrs. Wells?” “You’d make a good-looking anything.” “Wasn’t I a dutiful wife?* .

Value Os Nation's Farms Hits Record Market Value Hits U. S. Record Mark WASHINGTON (UP) — The market value of the nation’s farms jumped 8 per cent <o a new record high of $112,400,000,000 in the year ended last July 1, the Agriculture Department reported today. The value was expected to be even greater for the late summer and early fall months, the department added in a farm real estate report. The 8 per cent climb was the largest annual increase since the year edned. in..njicL-1951. Farm values increased by 2 per cent or more in 47 states, with the sharpest advances —averaging 12 per cent — reported in the southeastern states. Fawn land and building values increased by 3 per cent between last March 1 and July 1, the report noted. This brought the July 1 index of value per acjre to 151 per cent of the 1947-49 average. The report said the strength in farm values was due to: —Generally favorable crop prospects as of mid-1957. —Pressures to enlarge existing

What do 1 do?” “You -had a key to the house out there?” She nodded. “Still got it?” Again she nodded. I said, “Go on out there and start working.” “What do I do?” “Oh, dust and tidy the place up a bit.” "And then?” “Then I call for you nnd we go out where Mrs. Raleigh can sec us.” “Then what do we do?” “We drive away together.” “Then what?” "Then,” I said, "you go with me and sit down and wait awhile." “Then what happens?” “We talk.” “Then what?"

"He wanted a wife." “Why?” "1 didn’t ask him, I think it was because his first wife was questioning a Mexican divorce decree he’d obtained. I had a feeling he expected someone to serve papers. I didn't ask questions. I was paid to do a job and I,did it” "And you were his wife?" "In name only,” she said laughing. “After all, you know, Donald, acting is acting, but we only carry it so far. I’m just Mentioning it to you so you’ll know the rules of the game.” Her smile was difficult to fathom. I "All right,” I said. “You’re all dressed and ready to go out?” She nodded, said, "I even have a suitcase packed.” “You won’t need it right now,” I told her. "Get a taxi, and go to 1638 Frostmore Road. Putter around the yard for a minute. Be certain that the neighbors see you. However, keep on the clothes you are now wearing.

"And when do I leave the dump?" “When I come after you.” "When will that be?" “Probably within half an hour after you get there." “Okay,” she said. ’Til tell you this, though. If I have to start doing any housework in there, I’m going to take off these clothes. I’m not going to do housework in this outfit.’’ “Ypu don’t have to do any heavy housework. Just pretend. Putter around. If Mrs. Raleigh comes out and engages you in conversation, tell her any old kind of a story you want to, just so it isn’t the truth. But don't spread it on too thick." “I won’t," she said, holding out her hand. , “What?" I asked. “Taxi fare.” I grinned and made a hole in the remaining amount of. excense money I had’ available. Then I went out and telephoned Elsie Brand, my secretary. “Elsie," I said, "you saw that big, rawboned individual from Texas who came in the other day, Lawton C. Corning?" "I saw him going out What about him?" lie’s at the Dartmouth Hotel," I said. “He’s driving his own car with a Texas license. Grab a eab, go to the hotel, stay there until you see him come out and then telephone me at the Atlas Service Station at the comer of Frostmore Road and Whittington Boulevard. The plash is listed in the book. I want to know the minute he leaves the hotel.” "Okay, anything else, Donald?" “That’s it,” I told her. "But if anything happens and he leaves that hotel and you shouldn’t be able to get in touch with me for any reason, grab a cab and tell the driver to break all speed records getting out to 1638 Frostmore Road. You’ll find a woman in the house. Get her out of there. Tell her you’re with me. Have some agency cards to prove it." “Okay, Donald. What do I toll Bertha?" “Tell Bertha you’re going out for a minute,” I said. “You can tell her the rest when you come back." Bertha Cool has plenty to say, toe, when Donald returns with Wanda Warren in tow! “Yoe Can Die Laughing" is moving to a eUmax that may surprise yon. Onuttane it here tomorrow.

Eisenhower Returns To Washington Today WASHINGTON (W» — President Eisenhower planned to return to Washington by automobile this afternoon after a restful but rainmarred weekend at his Gettysburg. Pa., farm. v ', j The President prolonged his weekend away from the capital in hopes of getting in a round of golf this morning. He was rained out Sunday. Cloudy skies and damp fairways forced him to stay at the farm again this morning. Cases Os Asian Flu Are Found In Indiana By UNITED PRESS The Indiana State Board of Health officially confirmed today for the first time that cases of Asian flu have been found in Hoosierland. Dr. A. C. Offutt, state health commissioner, said tests of blood samples taken from Anderson College students ill last month of an ailment suspected of being Asian flu showed “it undoubtedly was.” NEWSMAN (Continued from Page One) chairs he had drawn up for them. For about 15 minutes the former president discussed the farm situation. He pointed out the inevitable result of the Republican plan of lowered supports was lower prices, which farmers now feel. He stated that only the rigid price support at 100 percent of parity could guarantee the farmer a fair return for his labor and capital invested. He pointed out the tremendous subsidies to all other businesses, such as private power tax write-offs, special mailing privileges to big magazines, and many others. Suddenly the president rose, and said, “Say, boys, there’s something I want you to see. Come on back here.” The group followed’him through a back entrance into a great room filled with empty shelves. “These shelves will hold the more than 1,000,000 documents that I have carefully saved from the seven years I spent as president. They are now being catalogued by a staff of librarians, and in about one year, serious students of executive affairs may use these as source material.” He then led the group to a li-brary-type room, which the .students will use while reading and studying the documents. From the study they were led. via a back passage, where the president had to pull the switch to turn on the lights, onto the stage of the lecture room, which seats 251 persons. The president showed them the beautiful grand piano, a copy of the original *lO,000 piano in the White House, and sat down and fingered the keys several times, striking up a melody. He then showed them, at the organ used at the last two Demobase of the stage, the beautiful cratic national conventions in Chicago. ® From the auditorium he led the group through a door (the President said he carried a gold key that "opened ’em all!”) into the museum. Perhaps the most interesting sight of the whole trip was the effect, mirrored in the face of the many people browsing through the museum, when former President Truman suddenly stepped through a door, and followed by the group of six, started a lively discussion of each item in the museum. Tourists who had never dreamed of a glimpse of the president were suddenly startled by his ap- ( pearance. One lady let her mouth fly completely open, then ran and

grabbed her children to point out the pre*kiwt to them. During the entire tour the president was as friendly as anyone. He proudly pointed to his many achieve'ments. He showed pictures of his war chief of staff, his cabinet, supreme court, etc. He showed the mantle from the White House, saved during the renovation program. He led the group to an exquisite collection of Arabian swords, presented to him by King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. He told the group a little story about them, pointing out the huge diamond on the handle. “At my inauguration in 1949, I said to my wife, ’Bess, if you'U just trip old Senator Bricker, so he li slide on his nose across the floor, I'll make a ring for you out of that diamond.' However, Bess wouldn’t have any part of it ... I think Margaret would have, though.” (Bricker had just introduced legislation to limit the preskient’s executive powers.) One of the originals of the U.N. charter was then shown to the •group. Then President (Truman showed them what he termed the most valuable piece in his collection, an autographed picture of the Dalai Lama of Tibet. He stated that he had been offered *IOO,OOO for'it by a Buddhist temple In Hawaii. • From there he led the way to a huge stairway to the basement. Here a *50,000 oriental rug, presented by the Shah of Iran, hangs. He pointed out a huge mahogany table, which was presented to him by the president of the Philippines when he freed those islands. It took 12 men to carry it in. Then he took us to a room dedicated to the executive function. Here were pictures of each cabinet office, and a little about its function. He said that George C.

He also stopped briefly at a wal full of cartoons depicting his administration. His two favorite* were one showing a senator jumping up and down in his senate seat (following firing of McArthur) screaming, “Who does that Truman think he is — t h e President?” and another captioned “If Margaret become* any more popular,” showing Truman walking out of the White House, and two men saying, “Look, there goes Margaret Truman's father!” Truman was very proud of the flags from the 1921 American Legion convention in Kansas City, in which he took an active part. He also pointed to his many activities in the Masonic lodge. He then showed the group the room which is an exact copy of his office as It was in the White House, except, he said, that a picture of Jackson was mining, and that Bolivar’s picture hung lower on the wall. After spending almost an hour in the museum the president led the group back to the outgr office. As he played the Black Hawk Waltz, which he said wa* one of Lincoln's if a Moritas, a message was brought to him saying that his wife was waiting for him downtown. He turned to us, smiled and said, "Well. boy*, the madame wants me. I’ll have to leave. Be sure to sign the register over there.” He then went for his coat, and walked out the door, got in his new car. and drove away, waving to the group.
