It won't be long now until Easter and then Spring. Merchants in Decatur who want their share of this area’s business will do well to plan a regular advertising schedule in the Daily Democrat. Shoppers of Decatur and nearby are fast becoming conscious of the fact that Decatur merchants offer the best buys in Indiana. Det the shop in Decatur habit and watch your shopping dollars go farther. — Statistics reveal there are more than five million jobless workers in the nation. This is the most in the last sixteen years and quite probably will get worse before it gets better. We should have started artificial efforts at improvement a long time ago and by now the depression would have been over. The administration is entirely to blame and still it doesn’t seem to realize the seriousness of people being hungry and jobless. The present government is truly one for the rich and the very few favorites. O Oh— Gail M. Grabill, Decatur, county superintendent of schools is Rotary's new president. He succeeds Robert Smith, Decatur attorney who will serve as a director. H. P. Schmitt is the new vice president. Howard Evans is the secretary and John Margerum is treasurer. Cal Yost and Robert Heller are new directors. The new officials are capable men and it indicates Rotary will have another good year. o o ■ Girl Scouts and Brownies of Adams county will join in the national observance of the 46th year of the founding of the Girl Scout organization as a sister group to the Boy Scouts today and various observances will last the entire week.

The death of Ralph M. Tyndall, Bluffton Merchant and former Decatur resident, comes as a tragic surprise. At fifty-six, Mr. Tyndall, a partner of Byrl Masterson bi the clothing business for the last 25 years, was active in civic'and church work in Bluffton and Wells county. He had long been interested in Boy Scout work and took part in many other Wells county affairs. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Tyndall, of Decatur and before entering the clothing business he taught in the Decatur school system. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Macklin Tyndall and two children, John Phillip, student at Indiana University and Miss Joyce, a teacher in California. A brother, Dan, of Decatur and his father and mother of this city also survive. We join his many friends here in offering sympathy to the family and his fine parents. —o o Col. Roy Johnson, nationally known livestock auctioneer and Decatur real estate operator, aged 59, died Saturday afternoon following the calling of a sale east of Decatur. Col. Johnson, long time Decatur resident came here as a. telegrapher for the Nickel Plate railroad. He enrolled in the Reppert Auction school and made auctioneering his life’s work. Not satisfied with being just another auctioneer, Col. Johnson soon rose to the top of his profession and at the time- of his death he was regarded as one of the finest in the nation. He cried sales all over the United States and Canada, and with his son Ned, he operated the Roy S. Johnson Realty Co. in Decatur. Active in civic affairs and a staunch member of the Baptist church, Col. Johnson was a part of all civic movements of this area. His position in__ the community and his position ( in the auctioneering field will not be easy to fill. We offer sympathy to Mrs. Johnson and other members of the Johnson family. Col. Johnson will be sorely missed in Decatur for many years to come.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED |] Nora Pendleton knew I someone . wanted her to die. Until the night of October 12th. she had never known fear for herself. Site had never bad | a care In the world until she met Stuart Young, an unemployed former 1 medical student. Within five weeks i they were engaged. Then StuSrt was . arrested tor the murder of a young girl. "Candy" Kendrick. Nora's 1 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 had been with her on a picnic at the time Candy was killed But Nora's cousin. Charles Deming, swore that he had seen Stuart and Candy together just before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near the Connecticut inn run by Bert an'd Hazel Huger, distant cousins ot Nora's. Charles' young son. Frank, was there, and the local druggist. Howard Ives, and Nora's aunt, Olive Riddle, who had served with Lawyer "Finn" Black as Nora s guardian. As the story continues. Stuart has been acquitted and police have reopened the case. Nora has been given a disturbing reminder ot the crime by the delivery to her of a photograph of a laughing girl, signed "Love from Candy.” Nora hid it before Stuart Young and Finn arrived at the inn that night. Later, upon finding it gone Irom the hiding place. Nora became hysterical. Her nurse. "Garry” Garrison, put her to bed. She was awakened from a doze by a pillow being pressed over her face. . . . CHAPTER 8 GARRY'S light was on. She stood in the doorway to Nora's room, came forward on tiptoe. “I’m awake,” Nora said, her voice rasping in her sore throat, and Garry flicked on the bedside light, saw the dismantled bed, the pillow on the floor. “Oh, dear, and 1 hoped you’d have a good sleep!” "Some one was here,” Nora said. "Someone tried to smother me with the pillow.” "You’re crazy,” the nurse said flatly, and then covered her mouth with her hand. “1 was beginning to think so myself,” Nora said unexpectedly, “but it's not true, I didn’t dream this, Garry, or imagine it. Someone was here. Someone wanted me to die." The nurse stared down at her * for a long moment, then her face stiffened. “Miss Pendleton, you've had another bad dream. That’s alt No one was in here. No one tried to kill you.” As Nora flinched she added quickly, following up her advantage. “You see how era—silly it sounds?” She straightened the blankets, picked up the pillow and, shook It out as though everything were normal, as though this were any night, as though the Intruder had no existence and the moment of horror had never been. “What awakened you, Garry?" Nora asked. The nurse hesitated. “I thought ' something dropped.” She looked around. The cloisonne Jar of pot-

pourri had fallen from the table ontothe floor. “That’s what you heard," Nora told her. “Whoever it was must have knocked against the table while I was struggling and when the jar fell off he ran away for fear you’d come to investigate." "It was blown over by the wind, that’s all.” The nurse glanced toward th| window, which had been opened only a few inches, saw the curtains hanging motionless. She met Nora’s ironic smile and went on obstinately, "Or it might have been right on the edge. ' "It wasn't" Ga r r y’s lips tightened. “It didn’t happen the way you think it did.” She bent over the bed, her eyes burning into Nora's. She spoke distinctly, spacing her words. “No — one — was — here.” She went to the hall door and turned the key. “Now we're all locked in, safe and sound. No one can get in. I’ll leave my door open. Call if you need' me." In a moment her light went out and her bed creakecj, as she lay down. Nora stared Into the darkness, alone with fear. Either she was mad or someone had tried to kill her. But she hadn't imagined the smothering. And yet Garry hadn’t believed her, as Firin hadn’t believed her about the photograph, or even Stuart. Why, there isn’t anyone, Nora thought in surprise, whom I can call and say, “Please protect me. Someone wants me to die.” • • • It was barely light when she got out of bed, dulled by her sleepless night. She heard the cuckoo clock sound six times. The maids were not yet on duty but there would be coffee in the electric percolator in the kitchen. She pulled on slacks and a blue sweater, used a lipstick lavishly on her colorless mouth. When she entered the kitchen Finn was sitting at the window, looking down on the lake. He turned with a smile of welcome. "Hello, honey.” He poured her some coffee and refilled his own cup, his casual glance missing neither the blue shadows under her eyes nor her nervously twitching mouth. "I’ve always meant to ask you, why do you wear blue al! the time?" "Stuart likes it. Finn, thank heavens you are here. I’ve got something to tell you." The story poured out feverishly. When she had finished, he hunted for bread and dropped it in the toaster. When it popped up he buttered it, found a plate. "Let me see you eat every bit." He refilled her cup with coffee and went to stand at the. window.

4-H Horsemanship Project Is Planned The 4-H council decided to begin a horsemanship project in the 4-H clubs this year. The council met Friday in the extension office. The committee decided to begin this project in Adams county even though at present this project Js not offered on the state level. The I rules .governing the project are to : be set up by a committee interested in the horsemanship project and subject to the approval of the 4-H council. The council also decided that to be eligible for the horsemanship project, every boy and girl must abide by other 4-H club rules and carry at least one other I state approved project. Mrs. Eveiyn Quesenberry and Eric Holm from the state 4-H office met with the group. The luncheon at noon was furnished for the group by the Farm Bureau CoOperative Association. | United States cattle imports rose sharply in the first half of 1957 _ compared. with.-1956L Increased imports of feeder cattle from Mexico ; accounted for most of the increase.

She ate obediently, drank the coffee. Only then did she ask anxiously, “What do you think, Finn?” "What did Miss Garrison think?” he parried. "She didn't believe me,” Nora said flatly. “The pillow on the floor—all that—it had happened before.” She told him then about the dreams. "How long has this gone on ?” “Since Stuart’s arrest last year." "Then," said Finn, "I think we’ll just forget it. An anxiety dream like that is perfectly natural. Your mind knows Stuart is safe but your emotions haven’t quite caught up yet When ne comes down, you two had better take a long drive by yourselves. Get away from all of us and enjoy being together.” Nora gave him a tight little smile. “That will be nice,” she said politely. “But just the same there is something I want you to do for me. At once. In case—" “In case? ” “In case,” she said levelly, “someone does want me to die.” She ignored his gesture of unpatience. “There aren't many possibilities here. So 1 want you to change my will. The way it stands now there’s a bequest of twenty-five thousand to the Hugers, fifty thousand for a cancer research fund, and the rest is divided so that Stuart gets half, and Cousin Charles and Aunt Olive each have a quarter. I want youfto draw up a new will. Everything to Stuart. Do It today and tell them what you are doing. Because if anyone expects to profit by my death he may as well disabuse himself of the Idea.” “Let’s not rush things. You are excited and confused because : you haven’t slept” “I’m ndt in the least confused. ■ Tm afraid." i “But look here, honey. Natural- ; ly It’s all right to drop Charles out of your will. You’ve every justification for that But Olive and the Hugers —” - “No one tried to smother you last night" ‘ "Oh, for God’s sake, Nora!” ' "Please do as 1 ask you, Finn! Those are my instructions." ' She turned swiftly and hurried out to the parking lot The Cadillac hardtop she had bought a : year before had not because of • her protracted Illness, been driv- ’ en a thousand miles. She rode slowly and aimlessly, taking sec- : ondary roads that wound through t the woods, trying to solve her I problem. She needed an interval . in which to come to terms with ’ the fact that she was in deadly * danger and no one believed her. . (To Be Continued}

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Nora Pendleton knew someone wanted tier to die. Until the ni.-' t of October 12th. she had never known fear for herself. She had never had a care tn the world until she met Stuart Young, an unemployed former medical student. Within flve weeks they were engaged. Then Stuart was arrested for the murder of a young girl. "Candy" Kendrick. No r a'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 had been with her on a picnic at the time Candy was killed. But Nora’s cousin, Charles Deming, swore that he had seen Stuart and Candy together just before the supposed time of the crime. The murder happened near the 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 with Lawyer "Finn" Black as Nora's guardian. As the story continues, Stuart has been acquitted and has returned to the inn. The -Demings are at the inn too. and Frank’s tutor. Tom Jones. Nora has been given a disturbing reminder of the crime by delivery to her of a photograph of a laughing girl, signed "Love from Candy." It disappeared from the place she hid it and then, later that night, the attempt was made upon her life. Someone tried to smother her with a pillow while she slept Now. to be alone and try to decide what to do. Nora is taking an early morning drive in her car. . . . CHAPTER 9 NORA swerved to avoid a squirrel that raced madly across the road, touched a fat woodchuck dart into its burrow, saw the trees, red and yellow and mahogany, in their fantastic brilliance. The world was too beautiful to leave and she was young and in love. She didn’t want to die. She wanted to marry Stuart and be happy. She Jammed her foot down on the gas and the car leaped ahead. There was a glitter by the roadside. Too late she realized that it was broken bottles. ■ . There was a loud explosion and the wheel was almost wrenched out of her hands. The right front tire had blown out. Nora opened the door and went around to inspect the damage. She had never changed a tire in her life but apparently she would have to change one now. She took the instruction book out of the glove compartment and read it carefully twice. Someone was walking through the woods whistling a tune. In a moment Frank’s tutor came tn sight among the trees, wearing dark slacks and a crimson pullover, dark head bare, the hard planes of his face less forbidding than they had appeared last night There were few people whom Nora would not have pre- • ferred to see but she welcomed Tom Jones with a sigh of relief.

Two Indiana Cities Show Job Decrease WASHINGTON W — Terre Haute and South Bend, Ind., are among cities reported by the Labor Department as experiencing declines in employment from 1950 to 1955. They were listed in a new area manpower guidebook which includes employment and economic data on 174 major areas. The book does not include information on the current business slump. The panda is a member of the raccoon family. The word “panda" is said to be a corruption of the native Nepalese name which means “bamboo eater.”

He came forward, still whistling, nodded in reply to her "Good morning,” and looked at the flat tire. "Got a spare?” “Os course. 1 was just reading the directions for changing it" He took her keys and unlocked the luggage compartment He released the spare, rolled it out of the car, jacked up the front wheel and squatted down to remove iL “I'm sorry about last night," Nora said diffidently. “Screaming at you like that. 1 don’t know what made me do it—it’s not like me. Now they’ll think I imagined the—thing last night” He tightened the bolts, stood up, took the jack apart "What happened last night?” "Someone tried to smother me with my pillow. All that stopped him was that he knocked something over and made a noise that woke my nurse. She heard me struggle and thought I’d been dreaming.” He was silent for a moment and then he remarked, “Curious woman, your nurse.” ~ "Curious in what way ?" "Not peculiar, just inquisitive. She hung around the lobby to get an earful while Black was holding forth last night. Hightailed it-for the stairs when you went out to get that picture.” He slammed the trunk shut. “There you are, right as rain. Everything under control.” “I’m terribly grateful." He stood with his hands in his pockets looking at her. He said, almost angrily, "Just for the record, I didn't try to kill you last night" “No, I—no, of course not. Can I give you a lift?” “Thanks." He got in beside her and she started the motor. She had an Impression that he was laughing at her and wished She hadn’t offered him a lift. She made no effort to talk and he seemed content to lean back in the seat, relaxed, very much at ease. Little by little, her own tension faded as she found herself considering the man at her side. Not the sort of tutor she had ever encountered before. “What on earth," she asked at last, “does Frank want tutoring in?” Tom grinned at her. “Mr. Deming Is preparing him for the full life." “What is that supposed to mean ?” "We are arranging to fill every hour with activity, nicely balanced between earning and learning. So If the day should come with nothing planned and not

MONPAY, MARCH 10, 1958

ft 'i.i ‘ . County Agent's Column 0 — —, 0 Fertiliser School Prof. Russell Stivers of the Purdue agronomy department discussed “Fertilizer recommendations, crops rotations and varieties” at an Adams county extension school on fertilizer. Approximately 90 farmers, fertilizer and seed dealers, and other ihterested people attended this meeting. It was sponsored by the county agricultural extension committee. Leo N. Seltenright, county agricultural agent, presided at this meeting, held in the Co-op building in Monroe. Soil samples and soil tests are most important in determining fertilizer needs. Such tests nearly always save money in tale long run. Thus, unneeded fertilizer is not recommended. Needed fertilizer is recommended and helps to increase yields. In addition, needs for limestone and rates are recommended. Coarse limestone has to be applied at a heavier rate than fine. This is done to get enough fine limestone into the soil. Basic to a good soil test is a good soil sample taken carefully. Instructions for taking and mailing these samples are availably in the county agricultural agent’s office. Additional information must also accompany the samples. Crops, fertilizers, manure. and lime used in the preceding years must be listed. Crop yields are to be listed. This information when accurately given is very valuable. The most efficient recommendations can then be given. Strip tests are helpful to determine fertilizer needs, said Stivers. In such a trial, a farmer uses twice as much fertilizer on a strip across the field. Right beside it, he uses half as much fertilizer. On another adjacent strip, he uses no fertilizer. Such a strip test will help him to determine what rate of fertilizer is best for that field. The same type of test can be used with different analysis or straight goods. Such information is generally »• most helpful if used with crop. growth observations and soil tests. - Observations of the crop will also help determine nitrogen, phosphate, or potash deficiencies. Nitrogen deficiency generally results in a yeUowing-of-the mid=rib of corn. This starts on the lowest leaf and progresses upward. It also progresses from the tip to the base of the leaf. Phosphate deficiency often results in twisted stalks and purpling of the leaves of com. Potash deficiency usually results in dying of the edges of the corn leaves, starting from the lower part of the plant. These deficiency symptoms usually cannot be corrected on the growing crop. However, they are valuable in determining ■ fertilizer needs for 1 following crops.

even three Bridge players available—” "Horrible," Nora agreed. "A fate worse than death.” She shivered. The tutor, who had appeared to be intent on the foliage, said, “Hey, there, what’s wrong?” "I was just thinking how easily we say things like that: a fate worse than death, or I'd rather die first. But I want to live!" "It’s my guess that you haven t even started yet. ” "Do you think I’ll have the chance?” He turned and surveyed her coolly. "You had better ask yourself that." He leaned back, eyes faintly mocking, one hand holding a chain on which the bright medal swayed to and fro in the sunlight Her eyes followed it like a clock pendulum. He put out his. hand and righted the wheel. “Look where you’re going!
