For the information of all Decatur residents, it is mandatory that sidewalks be kept clean during the winter months by each householder, and if this ordinance is neglected, the city has the power and right to clean the walks and assess the cost to the householder. —io o- ... The Youth and Community Center is badly in need of a piano, which the governing board hopes someone will donate. The present piano is about played apart. Anyone who has a piano which they would like to contribute to the Center is asked to call Richard Linn, director at the Center. o—o Dunn and Bradstreet report a big flourish this last week in the buying of furniture at the wholesale level. This is encouraging and we hope this buying spreads both in the wholesale and retail level. Just a little bump along the buying line and we’ll, snap out of the present slump. o o Gerald Durkin, Decatur rural mail carrier has become the second president of the recently organized Adams county Historical society. Mr. Durkin succeeds Bryce Thomas who was elected as temporary president several weeks ago. We are sure that the new president will do his usual good job and keep this important organization functioning as it should. With the other new officers assisting we are sure Mr. Durkin will have a highly successful year. o o Airlines are waging a terrific campaign for higher rates on passenger service. Their biggest argument is that everything else has gone up. That is hardly a valid argument, because airline fares also have increased several times in the last few years. They do give good service, often times more than is necessary. But it’s one of those instances that if they get a quarter they will want ten dollars. — —

We couldn't ask for more ideal winter weather and even the out doorsmen are enjoying the skating and ice fishing. Let’s hope the present temperatures continue until it’s time to get warmer. 7 o o Get your 1958 license plates while you don’t have to stand in line. You’ll get better service and it won’t take you near as long. o o Paul W. Palmgren, 53, of near Hoagland, well known in Decatur,"' and district sales manager for Storey and Clark Piano Co., died recently of a heart attack. He had been in ill health for some time but his death was unexpected. Those who had the privilege of knowing Mr. Palmgren, knew him to be a cheerful man, always anxious to help a friend. He and Mrs. Palmgren resided in and near Fort Wayne for many years. In addition Jo his widow, Ethel, three brothers also survive. We join his large host of friends in Offering what small condolence we can to Mrs. Palmgren. q. o— — With the flood of suggestiveness, near profanity, brutality, Violence and misleading advertising that pours into. our,_ livingrooms every day through the medium of television, isn’t it about time that industry ■ did Something to regulate itself. By comparison, the motion picture industry, exercises the utmost care in its production of pictures. The.; strict and rigid production code insists that before a script goes into work it must be passed upon by! a screening board. Then after the* picture is made it is carefully viewed before it receives what is known as the Production Seal of Approval. The theater-goer is thus insured that he-can bring his whole family -to a movie without being subjected to offensive or indecent entertainment. It seems that the only standard television goes by is whether Or not the show sells the sponsors' products. The sponsor has the last say on what the viewer must endure. and if the show sells, almost anything goes.

CHAPTER 14 I BILL HAGEMAN frowned. "We have got laws. Cord. Let's send to Oklahoma City for a U. S. Marshal and let him investigate the rustling tn a proper way.” Cord’s head came around quickly ant* he stared at Bill Hageman. "You fool, do you want to lose what little we now nave? How much do you Own legally? The two sections you and Julie drew? The rest you got the same way 1 did. squeezing the farmers when they couldn't take any more." He blew out his breath and rolled a cigarette. "A marshal is the last thing we want around here. Bill. He d do more than investigate. He'd file a report with the land office In Oklahoma City and we'd lose everything. End up with a grubby potato patch without enough water .to g-ow anything." He wiped his nand across his mouth. “In another five years It won't matter; well be entrenched too solid to move out But now we're hanging on by our fingers. Ain’t you got sense enough to see that ?” “Yes, 1 see it." Bill said. “But 1 could gojjack_ to_twp_ sections, I could if 1 had to. The land don’t mean that much to me,.Cord.” “Well, It means something to me.” Cord told him quick enough. M'm not going to spend the rest of my life raising blooded bulls on 1. four hundred acres or running dairy cattle. It took me nearly CeKygafsto build the firsTtime and then I lost it It’s not going to take me ten years to build again.” "There’s no quick way,” Bill Hag'eman said. "I'd like one, as much as you would, but there -tettrt any way. Let's send for the marshal, Cord, and take our chances that he won’t notice the shaky, deeds we hold." "No! I’d rather handle it alone first. You want to help, fine. If you don’t, then it's all the same to me.” "You mean, hang the man if you catch him?” "As high as I can throw my rope,” Cord promised. Bill didn’t like this talk. Neither did £ He looked at me, and then at Cord. Finally he put his glance on me again. “Where do you stand in this, Smoke?” Cord answered for me. “He stands with the O'Dares. Just where he's always stood." Bill Hageman sighed and shook r his head. He was through arguing; we all knew it. “Sorry you * fee) that way about this. Cord. Os course, I’ll have to be against you should you try to shove anything resembling private law down anyone’s throat,"

All proceeds from the annual Christmas seal sale are used in the fight, on tuberculosis and to provide Clinics and otherwise carry on the fight against the “white plague.” .

“You suit yourself," Cord said. “You’ve always cottoned to Vince : Randolf and the others." i “They’re free men,” Bill said, I “and they have rights. I wouldn’t i stand by and watch them lose any i of them. Cord.” “That’s putting It plain enough," Cord said, standing up. The visiting was over. I moved - back, stepping off the porch so I could help Julie mount her horse, but like always; Cord was ahead of me. So I stood there and watched him do what I wanted to do, and I watched Julie’s face. She wasn’t >much different from the other women I’d seen around Cord. She disliked him for the things he believed, yet she felt a strong compulsion toward him, as though he had a magnetism that pushed aside all else, leaving only the core of his manhood as an attraction. jhlie smiled when he held her stirrup and blushed a little when he put a hand on her thigh to steady her up. Bill was mounted and impatient to leave. Julie held that smile as she turned to Join him, and a short distance from the house she pivoted in the saddle to wave, not at me. but at Cord, who still stood there like he knew what was coming and was wailing for it to happen, i He finally came back to the porch. His glance touched mine and I think it would have been better If he had said, “I told you so,” w anything to dear the air. Only he was never the kind to rub something in, although I knew now that I’d be owing him a dollar come Thursday because Julie would let him take her home from the Grangers dance. -At a time like that, a fellow can hate pretty easy, and Julie Hawman was high on the list, for 1 felt betrayed, used, and pretty worthless, made so by a woman who could be as fickle as she was pretty. I couldn’t hate Cord, not because I owed Kim so much, but because he couldn’t help being irresistible to women. Behind that handsomeness lay a threat of brutality, a sense of power now restrained, a danger disguised; all this had an effect on women and I’d seen some fairly level-headed ones make fools of themselves because of what they saw in Cord, or thought they saw. Luther came out on the porch and Cord looked sharply at him. "Where were you?” “In the house. I heard it all" “Then the next time, show yourself,” Cord said, laither made as if to walk past Cord an d was taken by the arm and jerked around for his trouble. “Listen to me! I’m telling you something!”

Combined Fanners Class Meets Tonight Will Meet Tonight At Adams Central Kenneth B. Cohee, agronomist (or the E. Rauh & Sons Fertilizer Co., of Indianapolis, will address the combined meeting of the county farmers evening classes this evening at Adams Central high school at 7:30 p. m. Cohee is recognized as one of the outstanding soils and crops specialists in the middle west, and is in great demand as a speaker among farm organizations. A formal vocational agriculture teacher, and county agent, he joiperi ttju? Raqh organization 15 years ago. He was graduated from Purdue, and took advanced work in agronomy and soil chemistry, at Ohio State arid Cornell University. A practical farm owner and operator, special training, and years of experience in the fertilizer industry combine to make Cohee a highly enlightening and informative speaker.

“Hen, I hear you," Luther snapped and jerked away. He stalked across the yard to the barn and I followed him a moment later. He was in the tack shed, going over his saddle. “What are you so mad about?” 1 asked. “Leave me alone. Smoke." “Heli, l just asked,”— "And I just told you!” He threw the saddle aside and stood up. “Damn it, one O’Dare telling me what to do is enough. Don't you start too.” “If you don’t like what’s going on,” I suggested, “then open your mouth. You don't have any trouble telling me about it.” “I noticed that you went along with what Cord said. Don’t preach to me about what 1 do.” “You don’t have to take out your grouch on me,” I said. “Then don't ride me! Damn, you’d think after a man was married he’d. come into some rights around here.” He pawed his mouth out of shape and looked around as though he were looking for something to smash. “If I had twenty dollars of my own, I’d take Edna and ride out and never come baek-. ! ’ —-• — —1 Since I'd heard him say that before, I didn’t take rt too seriously. “I got twenty I’ll loan you,” I said, meaning it as a joke. Only Luther sure didn't take it that way. Before I knew what had happened he'd balled his fist, popped me on the jaw and- the next thing I knew I was sitting on the dirt floor and looking at him through a shower of bright lights and hearing some far-off bells ringing. I knew by his expression that he_ was sorry, he, had done that, but like most things begun tn anger, this got out of hand in a hurry. I got to my feet a little quicker than he thought I could and drove a stiff one into his stomach. He went back against the cobbler’s bench and I laced him across the mouth, drawing blood. When he came erect I was waiting and tor a minute we locked together, sawing back and forth, bumping into things, knocking them every which way. This must have set up quite a racket because it brought Cord and Ma from the house on the run. The next thing I knew, the shed door banged open and Cord had us each by the collar and was knocking our heads together. ... • •• 2. —i— The less forceful weapons of a woman can be as effective as a man’s fists, Smoke discovers, as “Justice, My Brother!” continues here tomorrow.
