There is still a lot of high school basketball talk in the air and it’s easier to get an argument on that subject than any other one right now. There are still lots, of good teams in thecontest and each team still has high hope of winning the state tourney. i *llß —o o Democratic national Chairman Paul Butler, of South Bend, has announced that he will not seek the Democratic Senatorial nomination in Indiana this year. He states he would rather be available for organization work if he is selected. Presently it appears that the Democrats have a good opportunity in the nation and in Indiana both. o— —o Business trends aren't as favorable as most people would like them to be, but in another month, if we can believe the President at all, the upturn should arrive helped greatly by artificial means of government pumping. The biggest fault we can find in the administration plan is that they've . started about six months late. If tfie administration had acknowl- - edged—the slump as quickly— as the people did we would be back on the highway of recovery by now. -- -—o o Gene Baxter, Decatur- young man, has been appointed as a candidate for an appointment to West Point, by Congressman E. Ross Adair. The Decatur young man, a Decatur high school graduate and forriier star' affilcte,* is ' presently at Purdue. He was an excellent choice and we are sure that he will reflect honor to Decatur and those responsible for his appointment. Gene is a good student and has a wonderful per-,, sonality. If he is successful in passing thephysical requirements, he will receive the' appointment, because he. is one of two principal appointments. We wish this fine young man all the success in the world and we are sure he will continue to bring honor; to himself, his parents and his many friends.

More basketball is on the menu for this week-end. The Big Ten will close its season and the high school teams will go into the sec ond phase of determining a state champ. Let’s watch our tempers at the games and remember that if a we are unsuccessful this year, there is another year coming soon. o o Lack of interest plus the fact that several good candidates filed their declarations early has slowed down the primary interest in Adams county. You can bet, however, that the Democrats will have a good ticket when the final date is announced for filing declarations. There is still plenty of time and while the early birds have the advantage, there no doubt will be enough candidates to make interesting contests. —_o —_o Just because a man is a Senator shouldn't bar him from giving testimony. If he has been unethical in his office and has attemptbed to use undue influence, it seems he should be punished just the same as any other person. We don't believe that the probers have gotten near to the bottom • of the FCC probe and certainly they should. Let's have a thorough probe and let the chips fall where they may, o o Severin H. Schurger, prominent Decatur attorney and former prosecutor has filed his formal declaration for the Democratic *''ls in Fn as i o~n ’as prosecutor. Schurger is a prominent Indiana Democrat and twice made the race for appellate judge when it was conceded the G.O.P. had a decided edge. Certainly by virtue of his long time work in the party ! he is worthy of consideration, but in addition to that he is well qualified and will add much to the Adams county ticket. He has courage and is one of our most able' lawyers. Everyone interest- j ed in the success of the Democrat party locally should be glad that Schurger has decided to be a candidate?

New And Different Farm I Policy Needed In U. S.

Last of Three Dispatches By Sen. HUBERT HUMPHREY U.S. Senator from Minnesota Written For United Press WASHINGTON <UP) — Clearly our nation needs a new and different farm policy and needs it I now. What should be its broad outlines? 1 First, a comprehensive; farm 4 program covering all ma jor commodities with the recognition of the interdependence of agricul- < ral production- It is a w'ell establi.shed principle of agricultural economics that low feed prices i produce low hog and beef prices. I Furthermore, the price of perish- | able comnjodities is directly related to those known as' storable, like grain. Second, agricultural policy must . be based upon these accepted and known relationships. It is imperative that the nation have ade-

WHAT HAS HAPPENED j Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted her to die. Until the night of October 12th. she had never known fear Mr herself. She had never had a care—in—the--world—until site -met I Stuart Young, an unemployed former I medical student, Within five weeks ; they were engaged. Then Stuart was arrested for tlie murder of a young girl. "Candy" Kendrick. Nora's friends and kin believed Stuart to be ] guilty. But they had also thought him to be a fortune hunter. Interested in Nora because of her wealth. Nora had testified at Stuart’s trial that he'd been with her on a picnic at the tune Candy was killed. But het cousin. Charles Deming, swore tlia't he had seen Stuart and Candy just before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near tlie Connecticut inn run by Bert and Hazel Huger, distant cousins of Nora s. Charles’ young son. Frank, ' was there; and the local druggist. Howard Ives; and Nora’s aunt. Olive Riddle, who had served as her joint ■guardian with Lawyer "Finn” Black until Nora came of age. As the story continues. Stuart has been acquitted and police have reopened tlie case. Nora lias been given a disturbing reminder by the delivery of an envelope containing a photograph of a laughing girl, signed . ’"I.OV e from CandNora ii id it before Stuart and Finn arrived at the inn in time for dinner. The gathering of her family—plus Torn Jones, a stranger brought by the Demings—forces Nora to abandon all hope of having a moment alone with Stuart that night CHAPTER 6 FTNLEY Black waited, Standing before the fireplace, until they were all seated in the living room: Stuart beside Nora on one of the love seats that flanked the mantel, Olive and Deming on the one that faced it, Frank on a chair he had .Jerked into the group, Tom Jones on the arm , _-.xif-a--sofa against-thejKalL-.. j “Well, then,” Finn began, " J ‘l think tlie situation is clear enough Now that Stuart has been acquitted, the case is reopening. Someone is stirring • things up and thia time the State won't make any mistakes. We've got a little leeway, but by next Monday they'll be on the job." "But why us?" Olive demanded. ", "With, the exception of Bert none of us ever saw the girl.” Finn sighed and settled his shoulders more comfortably against the mantel. "The only contacts Candida Kendrick had were with the inn. She was killed by someone who was staying here at the time.” His voice hardened, "Someone who is here now. No outsider." “Finn," Deming said sharply, '•this is preposterous! In fact, I’m not sure it isn’t libelous, of slanderous." “Now, Charles,” Olive said in the tone of sweet reasonableness that is so infuriating, "remember your blood pressure.” "Let’s take it from the beginning,” tlie lawyer said. "If any of you can find a different solution —- i’ll be delighted to hear it.” It had begun when Candida Kendrick inherited from an old friend of her mother * a little cottage m the Connecticut village © 1957 by Rae Foley.

quatS food and fiber reserves — the level of these reserves must be related directly to the growth ; ,; in population and the tremendous I commitment ot our nation in the I t i field of foreign policy and nation-; ial security. This has not been; .; done. National security requires efj fective and. constructive use of I . | food and fiber. Our foreign eco-! gnomic policy must include within j •it long range commitments of J food and fiber supplies to our allj liesandthe uncommitted and un-J . derdeveloped nations. Food can] be a force for peace and free- ’ dom. There must be additional J emphasis upon conservation, both ; short and long term. Requires Flexibility A sound farm policy should be i t; based upon a rising net income ‘ I for agriculture — parity income. ■!The secretary of agriculture ■fshould be authorized to utilize

five miles from the inn. "You 1 know how villages are,” Finn 1 said. “There aren’t more than five hundred people in StanleyVille, including those on , farms. They know all about each other, whom they see, where they go, what tfiey do for a living. ' Now Candy didn’t go to New s York all summer. We know that from her agent, who said she i wrote or telephoned and didn’t go in. She had no guests. That ' invalid across the street from her i place even counts the squirrels, i So we have to eliminate people 1 from outside. "But,” Finn went on, “we know she had some contact with the inn. She rented horses at the 1 stable tp go riding. Her letter was found in that box outside 1 the stable, and since she referred 1 in it to ‘the usual place’ we can assume that other letters had been left there. The inn telephone ; number was the only one in her cottage. She died in the lake here. "So, naturally, the police were interested in the inn from the start. Unfortunately, at tbe time of the girl’s mupder the inn wks nearly empty—as it is now. There weren't many possible candidates for Candy’s murder: Stuart Young, the two Demings, Bert Huger, ant), Howard Ives, the local druggist." , "Well, of course, he’s the one,” Olive said in relief. "He had geen a lot of her, hadn’t he?” "Ives took her to dijiner a few t jniagine,” Finn said grimly, "I wouldn’t have settled for Ives if I could hav£ pinned anything on him. But beyond the fact that he knew her. and that his alibi for the time of the murder wasn’t substantiated, we didn’t have a scrap of evidence against him.” ’ ’ Finn turned to Stuart. “You were another outsider, of course.” "That's' right,” Stuart said quietly. “As you know, 1 came to the inn in June. I'd been studying medicine and wasted a lot of time at it before I realized it was the wrong profession for me. I'd inherited a couple of thousand dollars and decided to take ttie summer off to figure where I belonged. 1 wanted to be sure I was right the next time. Toward the end of September Mrs. Huger told me the inn would close on October first and 1 was getting ready to move when Ndra came. After that?’ he looked down at i her and grinned, “it would have ■ taken a strong man to dislodge me.” “Y o u’r e leaving something ' out,” Nora reminded him. “You’re i leaving out that I nearly drowned and you saved my life.” g- - Hazel laughed. “Maybe Mr. I Young thinks it was his persuasive ways kept him here but it was Nora.

several means of attaining parity income and protecting decent and fair farm price levels. What is needed is flexibility of method in a farm program, plus determination on the part of the secretary of agriculture to utilize every legitimate means at his command to insure orderly marketing and a stable price structure. Add to this farm credit facilities adequate for the cost of maintaining farm operation and you have the broad outline of a constructive farm policy that can work both for the benefit of the farmer and the nationThe Eisenhower - Benson farm policy has failed- This failure is due not only to weaknesses in the law but also faulty and ineffective administration. Here is the sorry record. j During the five years Secre-I tary Benson has been in office, the accumulated loss in net farm income has been over sl4 billion. The annual rate Os expenditures from the Treasury as shown by the budget request sent to Congress this spring totals over $5 j Here is the sorry record. Realized net income of farm; operators dropped from $14,300,-1 000.000 in 1952 to $11,500,000,000 in: 1957. During the five years Secretary Benson has been in office, ' the accumulated loss in net farm income has been over sl4 billion. The annual rate of expenditures from the Treasury as shown by the budget request sent to Congress this spriag totals over $5 I billion as compared with slightly lover one billion dollars in 1952. * Policy Forces Farmers to Quit j 1 Benson's policies have moved j farm families off the farm at arate of 100,000 per year. There are 500.000 fewer farm families j on the farms than when he took \ ■ office. The family farm income ; from all sources, non-farm as I well as far, measured in 1957 dol-; lars has dropped by over SSOO per year—from $3,000 in 1952 to $2,500 jn 1957 Farm mortgage indebted- i ness is up approximately $4 bilI lion. Farm surpluses are sti 11 \ ; huge. Farm prices are-still low.. 1 And farm income is at recession levels. There is the record.

her go on when I said you were leaving. She gave—” "Hazel!” Nora cried. Hazel laughed again. "Okay. We girls will keep our secrets.” "Nora,” Bert said dryly, “gets what she wants around here. But she’s always—fair about it.” Deming cleared his throat. "All this is beside the point.” “AU this is the point,” Finn said. "Because Stuart was at the inn all summer. And in one way and another such evidence as there was all pointed to him.” “I could have swonf it was Young,” said Deming. “You did swear it was Young,” Finn reminded him. '* “I was strolling along a path through the woods and came to the side road leading down to the lake. Then I saw the man who looked like Young kissing this girl. I don’t understand how I could have been so mistaken.” “Where you made your mistake, Charles,” Olive said, "w’as in coming out with it Now you've got yourself in a mess and all ovW a cheap girl." “She wasn’t cheap,” Nora said unexpectedly.. "I thought you’d never keen her,” Stuart'said in surprise. "I never did,” she said, wishing she had not spoken. Finn’s voice was steadying. “Then what do ' you mean, honey?” She told him about the photograph of Candy that Garry had found in her mailbox. “And the girl wasn’t what you think, Aunt Olive. She was lovely and sweet.” "T don’t like this,” Finn said abruptly, “It sounds as though someone has it in for you, Nora. Was there any message?” She shook her head. “Jtist the words, ‘Love from Candy.’” Her voice got treacherously out of control. "She was laughing.” Stuart's .hand tightened over hers. “Hold it,” he said. “Steady there.” "I’d like to see that picture and the envelope in which it was mailed,” Finn said. Nora explained that it hadn’t been mailed. There was no postmark. It had been put in the box. "Will you get it, honey?” asked -Finn. — Nora opened the living room door and started up the stairs. Garry was ahead of her, a glass of milk in her hand. "Thought I'd like something before I went to bed," she explained. “Anything I can do for you?” “No, thanks.” Nora went into her room, looked in the wastebasket where she had dropped the envelope. It was empty. She took the lithograph off the vi-all. ... The picture was gone. (Td Hr Cpnfvtjicrl) !o. „ [Kitts Features Sygdicatcj *
