Dollar Day tomorrow should be a good one and almost all local merchants are offering some fine bargains. While you're in the various stores, be sure and look at the other fine merchandise on hand at the stores and we are sure you wil make Decatur your, permanent shopping headquarters like thousands of others do. ——<O" ' 1 o If preliminary talks concerning construction of new homes can be taken as a criterion, 1958 should be a banner building year. Money is a little easier to get and probably will get easier and there are still hundreds of people needing new homes. Our guess is that home building will show a decided increase in this area. ——<o o Tomorrow’s big Dollar Day in Decatur promises to be the biggest ever held here and with more specials to select from in all stores. Come early aad don't overlook the other bargains in each store. When you look over the prices you will agree with us that Decatur is the place to find all your needs and big savings. You'll be money ahead if you shop every day in Decatur. o-—o Good winter weather with temperatures at about normal are forecast for this week. We’ve been fortunate in this area as far as storms and winter winds are concerned and if we get through the next few weeks, we will have weathered the worst of it. Let's hope for an early spring and a long and delightful summer, ♦ " —o—o People who have visited in the South have returned with all kinds of stories about the bad weather. Os course everyone is unhappy, because many of the south's crops were almost totally destroyed by the near winter weather. They will be a long time getting over the freezing temperatures and a longer time making up for the heavy losses incurred by thousands of tourists returning home earlier than had been anticipated.

The President listened in on the firing of the first U. S. missile from his home near the Georgia golf course and in all probability was more interested in the next day’s score than any world happenings. The firing was reported to be a success and so Ike should settle down and shoot a good game today. While the nation worried and hoped ‘‘Nero fiddied ” o o— — Inside work is being completed in the new addition of Adams county memorial hospital and the entire new part of the building should be open for occupancy soon. When finished and furnished the local hospital will be the finest in northern Indiana in any city of comparable size and should be the most modern and convenient. An open house will be announced ofr the public before too long. o o— Byard H. Smith. Fort Wayne security company executive and former Decatur man will undoubtedly have an interesting and inspiring message for his hometown audience when he speaks at the annual meeting of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce Thursday night. Mr. Smith, former school principal here and at Monroe, was raised in Decatur. He is the son of one of Decatur’s well known families, the late Jud ge and Mrs. David E. Smith and during his high school days he was one of Decatur's finest basketball players. He will talk on “Present Day Economics” and he is well qualified in this field having been in the security business for several years. Mr. Smith is also a practicing attorney. If you have not secured your tickets you should do so at once. Men and women are both invited and reservations can be made at the Chamber of Commerce office. The affair will will be held at the Youth and Community Center Thursday night. There will be no meeting of Rotary and Lions this week and they will join the Chamberintheannual affair.

CHAPTER 20 1 After supper i walked out past the barn and watched the sunset. Edna came out and stood on the edge of the porch. She saw me and called, “Will you hitch up the buggy. Smoke? Ma's tired of staying home so I thought we'd go into town to the dance." I pulled the buggy out of the lean-to, then got out The harness i horses. They hadn't been exer--4 eised for a few days and were full sf Old Nick, but I shouldered them between the traces and hooked up. Ma had put on her ; velvet dress uid*, beads and the ridiculous hat. As always, I helped her into the buggy and Edna took the reins when I handed them to her, “I wish you wouldn’t mope around here. Smoke," Ma said. “Luther may come back.” I qaid. “You go on, Ma. Have a ■ good time.” She bent and patted my cheek. "You're such a good boy. Smoke." I stood there while they drove from the yard, then went over to the porch and sat down. Luther, hell! The only reason I didn't have my suit on now was that I didn't want to face Julie Hageman after shooting off my mouth. Night came in quiet and fast. The wind began to pick up, scuffing dust along, banging a loose ■tall door in the barn. Time passes slow when a man is alone; I sat for hours and they seemed like days. Once I went tnside to look at the kitchen clock; a quarter after ten, then once more I took my place on the porch, r A faint sound coming from the direction of the river pulled my attention up sharp and I sat perfectly still, listening. Then 1 heard it again. Two horses, and the creak of a buggy. I saw the rig moving toward the yard, and I stepped away from the house. I recognized Julie Hageman before she saw me, and when she did, she seemed startled because ■he suddenly sawed on the reins. I held the nervous horses tot a moment, then stepped to the off wheel. I could see that she had on a light-colored dress, the kind with a lot of ruffles, and from beneath the hem lace petticoats peeked out. She said, "I waited, Smoke, but you didn’t come.” “I didn’t think I'd be welcome," 1 told her “We both said things we shouldn’t have.” Julie said. “Smoke, 1 just can't stay mad at you!” “You seemed mad at Everett's place.” •1 was pretending, but I can’t do that well either.” She looked i at me and waited, “Well, are you going to take me to the dance or »ot?”

William Selking. 50, route 2, ,

"Give me ten minutes," I said and ran toward the house. 1 Some people would say that a man can’t take a cold water bath, < change tils clothes and slick his hair in ten minutes, but I’ll tell • you that I did it in eight. ( Julie gave the reins to me once I’d hopped aboard and 1 whipped i the light buggy around and dro"e ( from the yard. I didn’t say any- i thing for a while, not that I | didn’t have anything on my mind, but I was tryiag not to put my 1 foot tn my mouth again. Yet a ] man can’t drive all the way to < town without saying something. ; “Sure glad shipping’s over." 1 “rm glad 1 got up the nerve to 1 come across the river," she said, j -< “Huh?” I stared at her. "Smoke, can you forget the i schoolgirl things I said?” ’ , “Didn’t sound schoolgirlish to me,” I said. She reached across and took the reins, pulling the span to a halt. , "Smoke, you kissed me the other , night, but not the way you want- i ed to. You kissed me like you ( thought I wanted to be kissed." , She wrapped the reins around the , whip socket and took my hands j and placed them on her waist. . “Now, I want you to kiss me like J you want to." Whatever folks have said about ; me, one thing they all know is , that I don’t need a lot of urging. , I’ll never forget how soft she felt in my arms, or how her lips answered me la away I’d always'wanted them to answer. My experience with women was limited, sure enough, but I could tell ' that I’d made an impression. Her eyes had a bright shine tn their . depths and her smile was for me alone. “Smoke,” she said, "are there jeally Indian squaws who kiss better than I do?” The best way to make women shut up, 1 had just discovered, was to kiss them, which I did. Her arms knocked my hat off and liked to choke me, but can you name a better way to dieT When I released her. I said, “Don’t you worry about any other woman, Julie.” I unwrapped the reins and drove on. She put her arm through mine and laid her head against my shoulder. An/ that's the way we drove to Ponca City, only it took a little longer than usual because 1 had to stop three or four times to see if that kiss had lost anything. It hadn’t. The Grange Hall was bright with light and music floated toward us as we tied up tn the lot behind. 1 helped Julie down and we started for the hall. “Wait! 1 forgot my box lunch." She hurried back to the rig to xat it.

Decatur, and Robert Meyer, 43, route 2, Monroeville, were involved in a collision in the alley at the rear of the Decatur Hatchery at 10:15 am. Monday. The Meyer car was backing out of a garage into the alley and backed into the Selking auto, causing S2O damage to the Selking car. The Meyer car was undamaged. Red Cross Chairman Os Area To Meet i Earl Fuhrman, chairman of the Adams county Red Cross chapter, will meet Thursday at Fort Wayne ; with other area chairmen. Leaders from seven chapters in the Fdrt Wayne area will discuss such problems as disastery and fund raising at the meeting with the Allen county-Fort Wayne chairman. I Trade in a good town — Decatur

"What kind of a ribbon do you have on it?” 1 asked. "Blue. Are you' going to bid on it. Smoke?” “You’re darned tootin’ I am! You think I want some other tella dancing with my girl all night?” Something 1 said there had the kind of effect I liked; she stepped close to me and pressed her lips against mine. Then she took my hand and v ent on in. The dan> .ad been under way for nearly two hours. Ma and Edna were there and Edna was dancing with Bill Hageman. Julie spoke briefly to Ma, then took net box lunch to the auctioneer’s table at the end of the halt I followed her, moving easy through the crowd. People spoke to me, farmers and townsfolk. I saw Vince Randolf and two other farmers by the refreshment table. When I nodded to Randolf, he waved and smiled. Julie and I swung onto the floor and for the next half-hour time sort of got lost for me. When the set was finished, I got her a glass of punch, turned down a snort of stronger stuff, and took her outside. We sat down under the trees and listened to the noise of people at peace. At the Grange affairs, they sort of put aside their likes and dislikes and to hear them you’d never susnect they were hog-poor and ftfli of trouble. !1 don’t see your brothers," Julie said. "They’ll likely show up," I told her. The music began again and 1 got up, pulling her to her feet. “That’s too good to waste,” I said. Julie and 1 whirled about and forgot about everything, except having a good time. By the time this set ended, people were beginning to notice that we alwaye danced together and some talk was buzzing around. We didn’t care, but wagging tongues can make up a lot of stories, and to cut some of them short, Julie left me and went over to where the ladies stood tn matronly splendor. I headed for Vince Randolf, who stood against the wall sipping ms fruit punch. When I sided him, he said, “You’re having a good time, Smoke.” “That’s sure gospel,” I said. “Where’s Wade Everett?” "Higgins stopped off before dark,” Randolf said. "Wade told him he’d be here.” By chance 1 happened to be looking at the side door when my brother Cord stepped in. .. . > “Someone tn this hall Is a cattle rustler!" cord declare*. "1 want it passed around that I mean to catch that man!” The story continues here tomorrow.
