You still can contribute to the annual Community fund drive. It it nearing the goal set by the directors and no doubt will go over the estimate in a few days. —o— —O-—— Here’s a suggestion which might be worthy for the planners of the new million dollar stadium at Indiana University which will seat more than 50,000, while the present 35,000 capacity stadium has only been filled once. Why not build reclining seats for the spectators, so they can doze during the games, which have proved most uninteresting the last couple of seasons. It seems to be a stupid waste of the peoples' money to even think of such a monstrosity. ..... o- o — Another great football day, and there will be lots of thrills and some upsets to keep everyone interested. It looks to be a bad day for Indiana and Purdue, both of whom appear completely outgunned against Michigan State and Ohio State. Neither of the Indiana schools seem to even have enough to hope for an upset. NoteaDame rests today in preparation foj Oklahoma, Navy, Pittsburgh, lowa and Michigan State, in addition to a couple of more toughies. Southern Methodist and Southern Cal. Queen Elizabeth has received -a cordial and typically American welcome in the United States. Greeted by our number one citizen, the President and hundreds of lesser dignitaries, the Queen has waded through a most gruelling, but apparently enjoyable schedule. Her Majesty will continue her whirlwind visit in New York and will depart late Monday on an airplane for home. While the Queen has no official authoris regarded as Britain's and as a representative of Empire, she does a great job -of selling her country to the >’orld. And it was not like the old days of Churchill. She didn't ask for a single dime.

Silos have been filled at Central Soya Co. and the balance of beana received here for storage will be placed in temporary shelters until used. It is reported that the rush at the local plant will last probably two more weeks. The beans placed in temporary shelters will then be processed first. —-o oWe had the pleasure of having a visit the other morning with Charles R. Johnson of Henry county who was in the Indiana General Assembly of 1937, one of the few Democrats ever elected in that rock-ribbed G.O.P. stronghold. Mr. Johnson spent his entire sixty-one days of that session of the Legislature in an effort to strengthen the R.E.M.C. in Indiana. He has long been the farmers' friend and he still is just as rampant as ever for every project helpful to the farmer, and agriculture. He is especially interested in Adams county because he has two sons who are teachers in our school system. Indiana .needs more fine ictizens like Mr. Johnson and we hope that he never loses his interest in worthy projects. o O— —— A group of prominent Adams county farmers has held several conferences lately with a view to organizing a Farmers Union here. The group is organized and chartered in many parts of the nation and has come to be regarded as an outstanding farm group. While its policies vary on certain points with the Farm Bureau, both groups are strictly farm organ!-, zations. The Farmers Union considers the farm-population largely as family groups and works towards that end. The new group s Adams county is still in the organizational stage, but a general meeting is planned in the next ter will be sought. Those who two weeks at which time a charhave volunteered to form the new organization make it clear that the Farmers Union is for the farmer and not opposed to any organization.

CHAPTER 35 I CLIMBED into the police cruiser, and Sgt. Sellers asked: Did Wells telephone ?”■ "He telephoned, 1 * 1 said. Sellers swung the car in the middle of the block and drove back to the Wells bungalow. He leaned on the chimes. Dr. Carleton Wells came sputtering to the door. “This is an outrage,” he said. "This—” Sellers reached in, took a handful of the robe in front of his chest, twisted it up against tils throat, banged him back against the wall “Now then,” Sellers said, “what was that number you called as soon as 1 left?” "I didn’t call any number.” Sellers pulled the man away from the wall, tightened his grip, slammed him up against the wall again so the house rattled. “Get your clothes on,” he said, "You're under arrest" "What for?" "Compounding a felony. Accessory after the fact on a murder. Fll think of some more charges on the way up. I’m going to throw the book at you.” "I swear to you I didn’t call anvone. 1—" ■— .■— Sellers looked at me. "He’s lying,” I said. "No, Tm not I—" "You put the guard chain on the door when you went upstairs, didn’t you?" I asked him. He looked at me with a peculiar expression in bis eyes. "Yes," he said. Somewhere upstairs a kid started crying. "Yet it was off when you came down Just now to open the door," I reminded him. "Figure that one out" Sellers Jerked his head toward the upstairs. "How are your wife and kids going to feel when your picture is spread over the paper tomorrow? You and your precious brother arrested for murder. How are your friends going to feel? What’s going to happen to your practice? Your golfing partners will be proud of you, won’t they?" Dr, Wells seemed to shrink inside his bathrobe. "Get your clothes on,” Sellers said. “Sergeant, I—l’ll tell you. I—" “Get your clothes on,” Sellers said. "I tell you I—" “Okay," Sellers said, "come this way," and started dragging him toward the door. •'No, no, no! I’ll dress." "I’D go up with you," Sellers said. Sellers followed him upstairs. I could hear a woman sobbing,

WIDEN SEARCH (Continued from Page Ona) seeing him. The gunmen were described as “big men,” around 6 feet tall. One wore olive drab coveralls and the other a tan trench edat. Both wore colored rubber Halloween masks. At least four airplanes, two owned by state police, one by the Allen County sheriff’s office and a private plane, joined in the search.

I a Kia cry mg, cnen Seilers and Dr. Wells came down the stairs. “You can't do this without a warrant,” Dr. Wells said. “I'm doing it, ain’t I?" Sellers said. — "Well, you can’t get away with it." "Wait and see,” Sellers said. He pushed Dr. Wells along the sidewalk and into the police car; The car roared away from the curb. Sellers spoke to me across Dr. Wells and asked, “He telephoned his brother, Donald?” “He telephoned,” 1 said. “Told Drury he couldn't continue to stand back of mm, that he'd give him twenty-four hours' start.” “That’s all we need,” Sellers said. "That'll put him in front of a grand jury." We drove for about two minutes before Wells collapsed, and gave us an address. Sellers said, "It’s about time you started getting smart." Sellers kicked on* a red light and we started making time. He didn’t use the siren. Sellers was a veteran officer. He knew all th? ropes. He switched off aP the lights and the motor a block before we came to the place, and glided along the extrema right-hand edge close to the curb. Sellers didn’t stop the car with the foot brake, but eased it to a stop with the hand brake, removed the key, put it in his pocket and said to Dr. Wells, "1 don’t want to take any chances on this thing. I don’t want to have any shooting. When we go to the door and your brother asks who it is, just say it's Carleton. Don’t say anything else. Just say, ’Carleton.* That’s aIL Do you get It?” Dr. Wells nodded. "Let’s go," Sellers said. We entered the apartment house, climbed two flights of stairs, walked down a corridor and stopped before a door that had a ribbofthof light coming out from under w Someone was moving around inside in a frenzy of activity. We could hear steps on the floor. Shadows came and went across the ribbon of light. Sellers nodded to Dr. Wells. Wells timidly tapped on the door. 1 Instantly all motion from the inside was suspended. Sellers looked at Dr. Wells and nodded. In a thin, reedy, frightened voice, Dr. Wells said, “It's Carleton, Drury.” Steps came toward the door. "Who?” a man’s voice asked from the inside. “Carleton. Let me in.” The door was unlocked from

Gasoline Price War On At Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS (IP) — Another in a series of perennial gasoline price wars hit Indianapolis this week.

He had his gun in his hand as he entered the room. •‘Okay, Wells," Sellers said,, “get ’em up! Keep ’em up. This is police. You’re under arrest. Suspicion of murder. Walk over to that wall, put your palms against it, then step back a full step. Keep leaning forward with your palms against the wall" Drury Wells took one look at Sellers, looked at me and at the expression on his brother’s face. Without a word, he turned and walked to the wall, put his palms up against the wall, then stepped back. He’d evidently been put through the routine of a police search before. Sellers nodded to me. "Frisk him, pint-size."

1 took a .38 caliber revolver from a shoulder holster under his left arm, and just for good measure removed the pocket knife from his hip pocket “Anything else?" Sellers asked. 1 went over him carefully. “That’s all," 1 said. “He’s clean." "Turn around,” Sellers said to Wells. Drury Wells turned around. “This is an outrage. I have been persecuted and—" He broke off to glare at me and said, "You are respnsible for this! I’m going to have my lawyers amend my complaint tomorrow and ask for another hundred thousand dollars’ damages." "Shut up!” Sellers told him. “The only lawyer you’ll be talking with tomorrow will be the one who will be representing you on a murder case. You’re charged with killing your common-law wife.” Wells laughed. “So you’re falling for that too!" he said. “This sad excuse of a detective is trying to get me to withdraw my suit, that’s all. You saw my wife and •That’s right,” Sellers said. T saw her." “Well, then how can you accuse me of murdering her?” "Because,” Sellers said, •‘when I saw her she was very, very dead. She was down at the bottom of that shaft out there on that section of land she’d inherited. She'd been there over two weeks. “Wanda Warren told us the whole story of how you called the agency and got her to come out and impersonate your wife. Now, do you want to talk, or do you want to bluff it out?” “You Can Die Laughing”, reaches a dramatic conclusion in tomorrow’s installment
