Another week has passed without serious automobile tragedies In this area. Let’s drive carefully and keep up the good 'record. ——o O——— Spring might be around the corner but the fellow who coined that phrase didn’t say which corner. Candidates are rather slow to announce their candidacies, but every day or two another aspirant gets into the contest. It’s beginning to look like we will have - some good primary contests. o o— — According to Automotive News, auto dealers Bible, used car stocks in the nation are at the highest in two years. People are much slower in buying both new and used cars and as long as this condition exists there is danger of a depression in that industry. Let’s hope we get over the being afraid era quickly. o-—o Frank kitson, former county . auditor, and former custodian at the Adams county farm will return to that job soon. The county commissioners. Republican - controlled, have voted to place Mr. Kitson in charge for the unexpired term of George Fosnaugh, who has. resigned to take a similar post in Wells county. When he was there before, Mr. Kitson had a good record and while he Is older, the people have every reason to believe that he will do the job w4li. ■ 0 o Decatur, merchants have enjoyed a business the last two months, much higher than the national average for small towns. That fact is borne out because Decatur merchants offer the shoppers of this area more for their dollars. Compare prices of special events in neighboring cities and towns and taking quality and price both into consideration, you’ll see what we mean. It always pays to shop in Decatur; You’ll be many dollars ahead if you shop for everything in Decatur.

Jersey City, N. J. is having a water problem wif?h millions of gallons being lost each hour through an unsound leak. Engineers have been called in in an effort to find the hole in the main j pipe. In another day or two it could get pretty serious. o o When members of boards and commissions in the present administration get expensive gifts from those they are supposed to regulate, that seems alright both with the Government and the Gi O. P. controlled metropolitan newspapers. Back in the Truman administration, had such a thing happened’, it would have been a major scandal. It’s a funny life and public life can be adjusted « quickly to cover up what we always have been taught is thievery: o o Evidence shown in a federal committee’s hearing that those close to the White House got their nose into the F.C.C. hearing and if the truth all were to come out, the mink coat and deep-freeze stories of the Truman administration would sound like passing out cigars. In this investigation, large newspapers, controlled by the G.O.P. will cooperate instead of smear and the probe will fall flat. Nevertheless there are those crooked men who will have to dive with their own consciences the rest of their lives, and may they suffer every day for their misdeeds. o o Weather guessers believe that we are about out of the real firgid weather and this area should enjoy a little warmer weather in the next few days. It still may be a long, long way from spring, but all forecasts point to warmer temperatures in the next 24 hours. We certainly should not - complain, however, when we observe the temperatures in other parts of the nation. Southern crops have been ruined and every part of the nation except the far west has had its share of cold waves. The east has been menaced by heavy and in some instances, record snowfalls.

CHAPTER ?7 | JULIE and Bill Hageman dismounted m our yard. Bill had a rifle and Marshal Bud Ledbetter gave them a quick, uncertain glance. •‘They’re friends,” I said. “Bill, we need backing nere.” “You've got it, Smoke,” he said and stood there, his rifle held lax in his hands. 1 ran on to the barn, threw a bridle on the urst horse 1 came to and led him c back. Cord was but on the porch now, his 44 Seth & Wesson in, his hand. He and Ledbetter were having a staring match, with Bill Hageman standing behind the riiarshal and a little to one side. "Don’t make me kill an officer es the law,” Cord said. “I’m not making you do anything, Mr. O’Dare,” Ledbetter said. "Get on that horse, Luther. You too, Smoke."— Luther hesitated, then flipped up. I climbed aboard my own mount and waited, my breath choked otf. Ledbetter’s hand was in his pocket; he hadn't yet drawn his gun. "Cord,” Bill said, “the law has to be served; no one man has the right to set up his own laws against it If you shoot that pistol, you’re a dead man. That’s a promise.” He spoke to Bud Ledbetter without looking at him. "Marshal, if you’d like, just get I on your horse and ride out I’ll wait here a spell.” "We’U go together,” Ledbetter said, "after he puts down his I pistol.” There was no telling how this would have turned out it Ma hadn’t rushed out and grabbed Cord's arm. "I don’t want you killed!" she yelled. "You're my man, Cord, my grown-up man. I’d die without you! We’ll get Luther back, Cord. But not if it means you harm!” I waited, breath held, then the anger drained out of Cord, leaving him slack-bodied and sweating. He tossed his .44 into the dust and we turned, riding out of the yard together. Julie rode beside me, saying nothing. At the road we stopped. Bill Hageman said, "If you want a place to bunk, Smoke, our door's always open.” “I'll stay in town," I said. "I’ve been skunk-sprayed proper," Ledbetter wanted to get on his way: we parted there and Julie and Bill crossed the river. I sided Luther. r "1 had to do it, Luther," I said. *1 just had to." He looked at me then and of all the people who had a right to hate me the most, he was the man. But he didn’t; I saw that immediately. "I guess you did what you belleyed was right, Smoke. And I envy you for that

Is there any way that one can possibly rinse one’s fingers at the table if no finger bowl i has been provided? A. If is permissible to tip the water glass against the corner of the napkin, and then wipe the fingers on this damp corner. Q. What should I provide for a font at a home christening? A. A silver bowl usually, but if such is not available, a crystal bowl or a china bowl with a .ring of flowers or ivy around it will serve very well. 14M4M.■* ■ ■■■■■——>■■ ■■>-***-'-«

I Wish 1 could do what was right. 1 You believe I hung Everett?” “I don’t know,” I said. “Luther, yoii do some damn fool things sometimes.” "I didn’t kill anyone,” he said, i "Hell, you know I couldn't kill anyone. Not hang a man.” How can I tell how much I wanted to believe him ? Yet how : could 1 ignore his unpredictable nature, his facility for doing the J oolish and unwise thing ? Be- i tore, it never seemed td matter whether 1 believed him or not, but now that it did matter, I couldn’t summon any faith. 1 Ponca City didn’t have a jail so Marshal Ledbetter kept Lu- • thcr in his own room, handcuffing him to the iron bedstead at night. 1 took a room at the hotel, paying tor it with the cattle • money 1 still had in my pocket. The next day Cord drove Ma into town and. Ledbetter allowed her to visit with Luther. Edna: came in with them and did not go back to the home place. She rented a room so that she could be near her husband. I was a little surprised, and very much afraid, when I opened my door and saw Cord standing by the window. "I didn’t think you’d mind my coming in to wait,” he gaid. "Didn’t know you wanted to come in,” I said. Cord was ill at ease and understandably so; I wasn’t a very nice person to be around. "Did you ge* a lawyer for Luther?” I Qsked. "Sent a telegram off to Guthrie as scon as I came to town,” Cord said. "Lawyers take money. How about handing over what you got from the cattle buyer?" “Sure,” I said, and gave it to hhn. He counted it, which was . tils way of telling me he didn’t consider me above stealing. i “You’re a hundred shy." "I have to live too, or don’t you ’think I deserve it ?” i “I’m not mad at you now,”' : Cord said. “Just hurt that you i didn’t come td me first. I’d have handled everything. We could 1 have got Luther off if we’d stuck i together. Together we could have i sworn that he was at home when it happened. Now I've got to fight ■ this out in court. Maybe we’ll win and maybe we won’t, but either 5 way it's given the farmers an s edge 1 never wanted them to 1 have, You put the law on the side of a man. Smoke, and you’re !.. whipped. Given a little more time and this drought and I could have f bought ’em all out.” t This made me boil, "Is that all s this means to you. land?

thought of the family first. You know that.” “Have you? How?" "Everything I've done has been for you,” Cord said flatly. His eyes got dull and dedicated and he acted real noble about it all. "What have you done ? Made, Luther say ’yes; sir,’ and ‘no, sir,’ and do wanted?" 1 blew out an angry breath. "And you've leaned on me plenty, always making me do your share of the work while you chase all over the country." "Is this the thanks I get for dedicating my life?" Cord asked. "I could have had a wife, but I’ve denied myself that because of the family. Is my reward a lot of smart talk?” This made me laugh; a few weeks ago I wouldn’t have dared, but everything had changed since then. "Hell, look at what you’ve done for us! What do you carry that big gun for if it ain't to keep people scared of you ? Well, big man, 1 sure as hell ain’t scared of you!” He was silent for c long moment “1 ought to break you in two. Smoke. I ought to smash your smart mouth and teach you so’s you’ll never forget” He bit his lip and stared at me. “I’ve whaled you until my hand ached, but I can see now that it wasn’t hard enough. 1 should have broken you, boy, years ago. Broken you so’s you'd befiKVe and not ' bring me grief and trouble now.” “Like you broke Luther, huh? Or worked on Ma until she believes you’re some kind of a god?” I turned and opened the door as wide as it would go. “Go on, get out of here and leave me alone. You ain’t nothing special, Cord. You're just got people fooled into believing you are.” He stepped to the door, but he turned and doubled up his fist. “Don't ever stand up against me. Smoke. I’ll get what I want and I'U kill the man who stands in my way. Even you.” I watched him go down the stairs, a dead, uneasy feeling in my stomach. I hadn’t meant to spill over like that but things seemed to pile up on me, like they did on Luther, and I too had to hit out at anything that was handy. But I must have hit some- . thing pretty solid because I’d never seen Cord rocked back like , that. Quite by accident I'd gotten , through to him, but in away ' that made him dangerous angry. Angry enough to look upon me , as a menace. . . . ’ — “Luther laughed without humor. ‘Smoke,’ he said, 'the lawyer won't prove I’m innocent because he isn't supposed to!*”—the story continues here i tomorrow. ...'.
