The current grand jury has filed its report. That’s about all its action merits news-wise. o o Sunday was one of the most beautiful days we can recall in recent years. It was cool and crisp, but the sun was bright and there was not much wind. Motorists took advantage of the fine winter weather. Highways were crowded all day long, but traffic was orderly and no bad mishaps were reported in this area. —O—O—— There is no reason for us to go headlong into the missile problem. Russia now has taken the lead. Let's proceed cautiously and economically antMet’s not tack other things which we have failed to do in the past onto the missile program, like more new schools than we need under the mask of 'education and numerous other things. o o The one hundred and twenty third anniversary of the founding joLAdams county will be observed by the Adams county historical socle ty 'atrameeting Thursday night, January 23 at 8-o’clock at the public library. Bryce Thomas, president of the group is arranging the observance program. The county group has a membership of 110 citizens. -Pick out any television program you care to and time the number of minutes of entertainment and compare with the number of minutes of commercial. A few years ago these commercials became so long on radio and so boresome that a time limit had to be placed on them. No doubt television is coming to the same ending. o—o It doesn't appear now as if we'd get the promised tax cut. It is unwise to not reduce taxes because as long as we have the ability to raise such a large amount of tax, we will find emergencies to spend them.

ments which if turned loose could create an emergency any time. And that is just what happens. o o President Eisenhower has agreed to top-talks with Russia concerning peace, and if this is true it may be the start of a lasting peace. Os course several “ifs” could well muddy up the entire proposed meet. Everyone hopes that this is the start of a world peace and it isn’t too difficult to fathom it. Russia mustbe as tired as the United States of wasting money preparing to destroy. If all of us worked hard toward peace, we wouldptoave a wonderful world and nraybe this is the beginning. Let's hope so. o o Seed catalogues are flooding the mails. If you order by mail, remember it is just as important that you know with whom you're dealing as any other mail-order scheme. The same philosophy holds true as in other buying. You stand a good chance to lose when you order by mail, with no opportunity to see your merchandise. It's better to use the same theory with buying seeds as in buying merchandise. Buy locally and you not only know ■rs ‘V *' your merchant, but you' know that he is in business here and will make any faulty seeds right. Trade at home and be safe. o ——o —— -J. Dr. N. A. Bixler, widely known Decatur optometrist, was reelected president of the Decatur Library board recently. The present board is perhaps one of the" best the local library has ever had. Many'new activities have been added in recent years and especially children's reading has greatly increased. Members of the board in addition to Dr. Bixler include. Raymond Kohne, Mrs. Hugh Andrews, Mrs. G. L. Brayton, Lowell Smith, Miss Frances Dugan and Mrs. Ed Bosse. Each board member adds much to the operation of the library and each deserves credit for the fine rating of the local institution. 5

Trouble ray between these two men and for as long as 1 could remember, it threatened to boil oVfer. 1 didn't understand it and 1 often wondered whether they did either. Cord downed his drink and said, “You say you're shipping too, Bill? Pretty good year?” “No profit in cattle any more," Bill said. “1 guess not,” Cord said easily. “1 neaj that the Indians have been thinning out your herd pretty bad." "I've lost a few,” Bill Hageman admitted. "You?" "The usual,” Cord said. “H’s hard to make a decent .gather any more, with the Indians eating my beef.” He turned to Lanahan, who stood quietly behindthe bar. “Fill this up again, _ Pete." , - " Cord looked back to Bill then, glass in hand. "How many are you shipping this year?" Hageman didn't want to say. that was plain enough, but he couldn't dtick-so straight a quc:b tion. “Eight hundred head.” “Weil,” Cord said, eyebrow raised. “That’s a goodfy number. Leaves you pretty thin, don’t it?" "I'm going to give the graze a rest for a year or so,” Bill said flatly. “Anything wrong with that?" y “No, not if you can afford t," Cord said. He turned the? glass slowly tn his hand. “You know, Bill, those Indians are plenty smart. Seems that they only run oft the young stuff, and always before a man can clap a brand on em. That ever strike you as peculiar?” “What are you getting at, Cord?" “Nothing much," Cord admitted. “But I’ve been around Indians all my life and they’re generally pretty stupid when it comes to stealing something.

we’re blaming the wrong coon for robbin' the henhouse.” Bill - Hageman looked at Bingham and Randolf. then placed nis hands Rat on the table top. "Meaning ?” Cord shrugged and tossed off his dnnk. “I mean, we re being rustled blind. We ought to take a look around, Bill.” “If you think rustlers are working this part ot the country, then call in a marshal from Oklahoma City," Hageman said. "I trust tny neighbors. Cord.” “Sure you do. All I said was that we ought to look around a little closer." Cord paused as though rolling words around in his mind. Then he came out with it; 1 didn't think he would. "Just because a man’s a neighbor, that don't make nim honest.” Bill Hageman had already guessed what Cord was going to say bpeftuse he kicked back his chair and was on his feet before Cord finished the sentence. Vince Randolf grabbed Bill’s arm hard enough to tear the sleeve clean out of nis jacket, but that didn't stop Bill one danged bit. He would nave jumped the distance between nim and Cord if it hadn’t been for Cord's .44. Cord’s nano whipped back to his nip, brushing his coat aside. In one movement that swivel holster was turned and the barrel of the gun pointed squarely at Bill Hageman’s belt buckle. 1 stood there with my mouth open, watching Bill. He stood Uke a tree. His eyes were polished glass , and’ his breathing was heavy, like he had run a tar piece and Knew the race wasn't over. “3 never carry a gun, C<>r J ." He had trouble saying iL as though anger choked him nearly speechless. “Maybe you ought to," Cord said softly. “You know, a rnan as jumpy as you can get himself into real shooting trouble,” “You accused me of something,” Hageman said flatly. "Do you expect me to stand here and UKt it?" “I didn’t accuse you of a damned thing," Cord said. “What i saio could have been meant for Randolf,’only you took it personal. You feel guilty about something, Bill?" Hageman’s, face drained completely ot color and he began to tremble. Carefully ne raised his hands and shucked out ot nis brush jumper flinging it on the floor. We could ah sec that he hadn't bed; tie didn’t nave a gun. ’Cord." ne said, “vou’d better shoot me now because I’m going to take that gun awav from you. When he jumped, it was like a cat jumps, one poena, and I stepped back so as not to got

tangled in this. Cord was backed against the oar and I thought sure that Bill Hageman’s charge was going to drive both of them clean through it, but at the last instant Cord stepped aside and Hageman came against the bar hard enough to move it four inches and bring down a shower of whiskey glasses. ITiere was a moment when Hageman was spread face down and Cord balled his fist, flailing Bill across the back of the neck, driving his face into the polished cherrywood. Blood spouted from Bill’s nose,then Cord stepped back, quickly unbuckling his gunbelt. •Here," he said, not even looking at me. "Catch.” I caught it and stood there stupidly while Bill Hageman pivoted and made for Cord. There was a lot qf fight in Bill Hageman: I have to give him credit for that. He wasn’t scared of Cord and he was willing to carry the fight all the way, which might be the reason he had so little advantage. Cord took a raking fist on the neck and belted Bill heavily in the mouth, splitting his Ups. Hageman bellowed like a gored bull and tried to ram Cord, head • down, but Cord moved aside, clubbing Bill in the face and throat. Probably every man in Lananan s that day was as convinced -• as 1 was tlikt the fight was pretty one-sidea. Cord knew how to hurt a man ano he did a cang-up job on Bit Hageman. He <ept stuntang Bin with short »Btjs never hard enough -o knock him down, but sharp enough to cut him up mighty bad. Cord nad closed Bills <eft eye and was working on tte right, now that ne nad Bill’s lips and bioken nis nose Bi® was pretty near blind, nui uke i said, he had a lot of heart and wasn't scared.— Any other man—would have faked a fall and quit the fight then ano there, but BiU Hageman seemed determined to , stand as tong as he could. The whole thing was making me a little sick and even Pete Lanahan, who nad seen more than nis share of drag-down fights, voiced a protest: "Hela-'-tiad enough. . Cord!”' But Cord acted as though he hadn’t even heard Uanahan. He slammed Bls fists into Bill’s face; , the sound reminded me of a , butcher flinging a quarter of beet ! on a clean block. Hageman’s , knees were beginning to wilt When he finally fell 1 was glad. Cord stepped back, breathing heavily through his open mouth. , 1 gave him back his gun and ne ' put it on, all the air.e looking at t Hageman, who. was never com- [ pletely unconscious. ~ : (To Be Continued)

John Marks Honored At District Meet Rural Youth Honor Veteran Consultant John Marks, of Indianapolis, district rural youth consultant for the past 8% years, was honored by the largest district rural youth meeting in many years, held at the Lincoln school auditorium Monday evening. Marks is retiring as Farm Bureau representative to the Indiana rural youth to take a rural automobile research position in Washington, D.C. A total of 140 members from all 10 counties of district IV turned out to give Marks an enthusiastic sendoff. After each county presented Marks with a present, jokingly recalling former incidents during his many visits with district and local meetings, a matching briefcase and two-suiter was given him by the district president, J. R. Reece. Marks is one of three rural youth consultants in the state of Indiana supported by the Indiana Farm Bureau. The Purdue extension service, co-sponsor of the group, also has three consultants. In thanking the group for the present, Marks reminded the members that each of them, by hard work in rural youth, could advance himself to a higher position and to a better life.
