Predictions are for more snow in the next few days. We’ve had about five inches and forecasters believe we might get a little more in the form of flurriesTwenty years ago today the temperature got down to almost zero for the coldest of the year for Decatur. No immediate relief was promised by the weatherman who said cold would prevail for the next few days. s o o Decatur has long been a center for good food markets, both chain and home owned. Watch the advertising columns of the Daily Democrat for grocery features each week. You’ll save money and at the same time get the best possible merchandise. o o Many parts of the state have been visited by bank bandits and it most instances the robberies apparently were done by amatures. This isn’t unusual during a business lull, but it’s just as dangerous and almost every bandit gets caught. It just doesn’t pay. ——o—~o Next big retail event for shoppers of the Decatur area will be Dollar Day in a few weeks. Then we’ll go into the Easter shopping season and merchants are optimistic concerning Easter and Spring trading. There are many indications which point to increased trading in Decatur and one pf these is that local merchants offer the best quality at the lowest prices. Shop in Decatur and compare prices with other cities and we are sure you will come back often. o o-— There is a lot of business in the —Decatur shopping area -and the wise ‘• merchants advertise and get their share. Decatur streets are usually filled with shoppers who realize it is more convenient and much more economical to trade in Decatur. Shoppers are urged to read the advertisements — in eaeh issue of the Daily Democrat for the, latest in the best merchandise and at the lowest

Merchants who advertise continue to be successful even through depressions. o o Tobacco manufacturers are responsible forthe publication of several pamphlets counteracting the findings of scientists and physicians pertaining to the lung damage and general health damage that excessive cigaret smoking might cause. They have brought out some good evidence that maybe smoking hasn’t had much'to do with the increase in the. number of cancer patients. At least there is a reasonable doubt and so people are going rjght ahead smoking and they don't seem to care much or believe the final results. o— —o . ft. Democrats and Republicans have, reached an agreement, nothing binding, that they will not heckle the President and his aides for a few weeks until they make an effort to reach an understanding among themselves on what to do next in the missile program. Seeftis sort of useless. They've had a long time to determine this nation's course and have stood still. Well, another couple of months probably won't ljurt us much more arid the President will have had a chance to admit he can't do it, with the present set-up. o o There is a possibility that this year may be the last year for the polio drive for funds. The dread-cd“disY-a3d "been cut down since the discovery of-Salk vaccine that it appears the disease will be completely stamped out. The money tffts year will go into ' a fund for aid to thostt who con- ' tracted polio-before the vaccine. ; was available. Your dimes and ) quarters and dollars are needed this year and if’we tontribute as we have in the past, this may be the final drive. And thus the end of a great fight against disease is in sight. Let’s keep on working unitl we can report the same result with cancer and the half dozen' other killers. Which the peopie have aided with very little v help’ from government billions.

I am a teen-aged girl who likes to write letters to certain j movie stars. My mother tells me this is not the right thing to do. What do you think? A.

Our daughter is playing a piano selection at a school recital. Is it proper for us to send flowers that night; and should we i send a basket or a bouquet? A. This is quite proper, and a ’ bouquet would be best. Q. If there is to-be a rehearsal dinner before a wedding, who givi es it, the family of the bride or ! of the bridegroom? A. If there’s to be a dinner at all. the bride’s family gives it. Q. How should one eat breakfast bacon, with the fingers or with a fork? A. When possible, with the fork. But when the bacon is very dry and crisp and scatters into fragments when broken by the fork, fingers are permitted.

CHAPTER 15 | ‘VyTTIAT the - devil do you think ** you're doing?” Cord asked is he looked from Luther’s bloody 1 face to mine. Ma’S hands were fluttering and her face was wrinkled like she was going to cry. “Fighting. Oh, my goodness, just look at you. Just look." Cord gave me a shake. "Smoke, I asked you something.” “Just an argument,” X said, then looked at Luther. "Sorry." He stared as though he couldn’t make up his mind whether or not to, let this pass. Then he said, "Me too. Smoke. Did I hurt you?” Actually it was the other way around. I had a nice bruise on my jaw but Luther had two choice cuts on, his face, both bleeding a little. Then he laughed and wiped the back of his hand across them and Cord let us go. He turned and took Ma's and walked back to the house with her. Luther waited until they were both out of earshot; then said, “I don't know what got into me, Strfoke, Just had to hit thing.” <a_ "Yeah," f' said. ”1 guess you did.” «- Luther picked up his saddle from the floor and went to the stall for his horse. When he was mounted and ready to leave, 1 asked, “Where’ll I say you've gone?” ' He pursed his lips for a moment. "Out.” He lifted his reins. “And 1 can’t say when I’ll be back. I may ride over to Rindo's Springs and see Heck Overland.” I watched, him ride out tn the direction of Wade Everett's place, then went to the house. Cord was in the parlor reading a monthold magazine. As usual, Ma was baking something for supper. She looked at me quickly and said, "You shouldn’t fight with your brother, Smoke. Haven't I taught you to hold your temper?” "It wasn’t anything,” I said. “When two brothers try to bloody each other,” she said, "it’s usually something. Was that Luther that just rode out?” ’Yep," “He’s a restless boy. I wish he was steadier, like Cord.” She gave me a smile. "You’re a restless Ivoy too. Smoke. You yearn a lot. What for, I’ll never know. As long as we have each other, we hate everything.” “I guess. Ma.” ... The kitchen wds hot so I went out to stand on the back porch. I could see the fringe of cottonwoods along the river, and a; I watched, I recognized Julie Hageman's pony long before I could make out her exact features, I

left the porch and walked out into the yard, meeting tier. . She pulled to a halt and stepped down. Sweat was bright on her face and had soaked her whit® shirtwaist around the shoulders. "Smoke, is Cord at home?” I should have known she hadn’t coine to see me. "Yeah.” 1 said and led the way to the house.. She tied her pony at the porch and I held the door open for her. Ma came out ,of ,the kitchen to see who it was; she seemed surprised. Cord lifted his head when we came into the parlor, then he put His magazine aside and stood up, smiling. ’I didn't expect this pleasure,” h£ said. “Can’t I get you something, Julie?” "No thank you,” she said. ‘T had to come and talk to you, Cord.” “Well, Pm sure glad you didfc"he said, taking her arm. He gave me a look that bade me find somewhere else to stand, but I didn’t budge an inch. I stood in the archway while Julie sat down. “Cord, it was hard for Bill to say what he meant. And you didn’t make it any easier for him.” “A man does what he thinks best,” Cord said. "Do you mean to say it for him?" “Perhaps,” Julie said. "I want you to come with me, Cord. To go around to Vince Randolf and Wade Everett and all the others, I want you to leave your gun at home and talk nice to them. I think it’s important that you make friends with the farmers, or at least try to.” Cord frowned.- “You’re asking a lot of me, Julie. These people might take friendship for weakness." “That’s a chance you’ll have to take," she said, “Please, Cord. Do this much for me.” “Well, I’d do a lot for you, Julie, but this, I don’t know. I was figuring to go to town today. Couldn’t we make it some other time?” “There may not be much more time," she said. “Cord, what I’m asking is fair.” "Fair to Bingham and Randolf and Everett, but not fair to me.’’ He paused as though considering this. “Julie, when I lose a calf I can’t help but wonder if it hasn’t gone on one of the farmers’ tables. Was they to rile me a bit, J might suggest that to their faces. - “You won’t go then?” “I can’t," he said finally. “Sorry, Julie. Anything else but that. Cattle and farmers don't mix. They wouldn’t listen to me." “Is this . your final answer,. Cord?” “It has to be. Now if you’ll excuse me?” He went to his desk and picked up his gunbelt, After

Comb It is a poor investment to buy cheap combs, as they tear the hair and the teeth soon pull out. Buy combs with strong and rounded teeth.

buckling it on, he put on his hat. "You’re pretty, Julie. One of these days I’m going to have, to tel) yoU how pretty.” He .edged past me and went out to the barn. Julie sat in the chair, her hands idly, brushing the arms. There was defeat in her voice. “I tried. Smoke. I thought he liked me enough to do it.” "Cord keeps his likes separate from his wants," I said, sort of letting it out before 1 thought. She looked at me sharply. "What are you trying to say. Smoke?” “Not trying to say anything," 1 assured her. I wished she’d stop looking at me that way, as though she were measuring me for something. “Smoke, did you ever do anything that Cord didn’t want done?”’ "Sometimes. And I’ve been whaled proper for it.” Cord rode out and Julie and 1 remained quiet until the sound of his horse faded. The house was silent except for Edna moving about in her room and Ma hum- ’ ming in the kitchen. Julie left' the chair and came i close to me, so she wouldn’t have i to talk so loud, I guess. “Smoke, would you go with me? Would : you speak for Cord?” > The idea left me a little numb; 1 I’d crossed Cord before, but never . like this. "You heard him speak.” ; 1 said. "Whatever 1 could say [ would be a lie.” i “Not a lie and you know it. ■ Smoke, I think you agree with Bill.” i “That could be,” I admitted. : "Cord will raise hell when he finds out I’ve overstepped my authority.” "" > “What can he do if you’re . right?” She put her hand on my arm. “What can he really do if , we bring the farmers a little . closer, make them understand . that we're up against it as well ■ as they are? Smoke, you believe in this, don’t you?” . “Yeah," I said. Why fight it; i this was what I asked myself. “All right, I’ll go along with ' you." ’ She put her arms around me ; real quick and gave me a kiss : that didn’t last very long, but made me feel a little weak and lightheaded. For a long time I’d thought about this particular moment. and now that it had come and gone, I felt a little regret because it had taken me by surprise and I hadn’t had a chance to really appreciate it. •s BUI Hageman promises to keep a secret of Smoke’s from Hord.
