Governor Handley is keeping mighty quiet these days. Surely he has in mind being a candidate for the U. S. Senate. o— —-o—Automobile license applications are in the mail and when you receive yours, save it until you apply for your 1958 plates. If you take your application with you, it will save you and others a lot of time in the application line. o o—— Department of Commerce fig. urea reveal that during the month of October, there was a billion dollar drop in the national rate of personal income, due to layoffs and industrial shut-downs. Yes. the figure is one billion dollart. o— —O Rumors are still buzzing around the Court House concerning county appointments for next year. We're not going to try guesses because we believe the Commissioners have the ability to select without any advice and there isn’t much doubt that those selected will do a good job. o o The eight children, Wisconsin fire victims, were buried this week. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Klein, parents, attended the services but sat apart. It was learned following the tragedy that the mother had been at a tavern with a “date.'.’ The father was working at a logging camp ■at the lime. Mrs. Klein has been cEarged with child neglect.; —o o If ex-Governor Craig would happen to be involved in the recent state highway right of .way scandal and would be brought back here and be dbnvicted. it wouldn’t be anything new for Hoosier G.O.P. governors’. We can recall in our lifetime the McCray, Jackson and other high G.O.P. scandals. It ign't easy to be honest in public life, but it pays big dividends.

Mrs. J. Ward Calland. prominent Decatur woman, is ill at Adams County Memorial hospital and her physicians state she will be confined at least a month, and with no visitors. We join her many friends in wishing her a speedy and complete recovery. During her recuperation, she will be missed by the whole community. Unseasonably cold weather has greeted this area this week but in spite of the cold it is welcomed by farmers who were unable to finish their fall work in the fields because of the rain and warm weather. In another week, provided the cold weather continues, much of the late fall and early winter work will have been completed. O o-r*®' 1 Sta«..

It would come home with the blood of a rabbit warm on its jowl. Unlocking the padlock that secured his door, Scobie went in and lit an ojl lamp hanging by a rope from the rafters of his oneroom habitation. He went out again, carried in the bicycle, and stood it on old newspapers where the murky light fell on it. He ! shut and barred the door, covi ered the windows with sacking, I and went to work on the bicycle ■ as systematically as if it were a routine he followed every day He stripped the frame, removing all the accessories that might aid identification.

‘iHpck. He roughed up with sandpaper the new leather of the paddle. He would be in no hurry to sell the bicycle. As it stood, the rightful owner would reject it without a second glance. Until he got the right offer it would serve Scobie on his journeyings to the town, In place of his present one. which was falling apart from ill usage. " ■ Crumpling the paint-spattered newspapers, he stuffed them into the round-bellied stove that smouldered all day in the middle ,ot his shack. While he worked he heard the dog snuffling at the door. Going out, he welcomed it with* a half-hearted kick and refastened: the chain to its collar. In the early morning he kicked 'off laceless boots, threw his hat, Jnuffler, jacket and trousers on a chair, and went to bed in a filthy shirt and , ’ p - ’ Almost at once he started to snore. Sleep always came qtiickly to Scobie. He had nothing on his conscience. Hours later, sunlight seeping through an unwashed window fell on a tangig of grey hair protruding from a fetid heap of tattered blankets. The morning was half gone but Scobie lay foundered in sleep, breathing stertorously through a gaping piouth. The sun was directly overhead ■when he came out of his tumbledown dwelling, pulling his crumpled hat down to shield his eyes. He had a headache and his whole being felt sour. Many people feel sour on rising but Scobie carried his sourness all day. The hat had' been an elegant thing with a jaunty feather when he found it, long ago, on the drivingseat of a parked Bentley. In its present state it would have disgraced a scarecrow. In a muddy enclosure behind his shack he scattered grain to the hens that scrabbled and pecked about his ankles. They had been acquired, a few at a time, from distant farms on moonless nights and brought home, trussed and sacked, on his bicycle. From a screening clump of bushes on the side of a hill, Deborah was watching the man's movements through field glasses. She saw him foraging for firewood and returning to his shack with loaded arms. Soon after, he came out again, cast , a cursory glance all round him,: and sham- ' bled oft down the dusty road. Through the field glasses she scanned the rises and bends of . the road for his passing. She did not leave her hiding place until he was well out of sight . . ■ There’s only the danger of the (|og for Deborah In coll-. I'nq «>|l>. iii-'il . ( •nftltue “'The Lonely Mau" tvmorrow.
