Apparently the Sputnik II has finished its course and J has plunged into the ocean. Maybe we can concentrate a little on getting our nation back in a sound economic level. That would be nice. " ■ o . o » ' Six Muskogee, Oklahoma, policemen have been jailed charged with larceny while on duty as policemen. Thefts included the rifling of automobiles and other stealing while they were on duty. o o Finest week-end of the year from a weather standpoint and almost every automobile in the area was out for a ride. The weather was mild and most of the day there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Traffic was orderly and it was well patrolled. o—o— — Hubert Gilpin, head of Gilpin Co. and his top assistants were guests of the Industrial Division of the Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon this week. It was one of a series of meetings held by the leaders of Decatur’s industries to form a closer tie with the manufacturers and the Chamber. The Gilpin Co. was organized in 1937 and has since that time been one of the leaders in the manufacture of iron railings and fences. They do work all over the south and middlewest and are considered one of Decatur’s finest and most progressive Industries. o oI— There are all types of peddlers making the rounds these days and in almost every instance you can buy the merchandise in local stores with much better quality and much lower prices than it is offered by the peddler. A big percentage of these peddlers arc one-time visitors and in a few days they are many miles away. If you want the most for your money, in any line of merchandise,, you’ll be money ahead if you do ydur buying from a bonafide businessman, whom you’ll know will be in business tomorrow and next year, and many, many years to come. Trade at home and you’ll ribt be sorry.

If you drive just a little slower and real careful yon’ll get to your destination almost as quick and much surer. —o o Robert Hammond, newly installed exalted ruler of the Decatur Elks, has completed his appointments for the year and every indication points to a successful year. All newly elected and appointed officers have signified their willingness to serve and many activities are being planned for the year. —-o o The Decatur Girl Scout cabin, situated in Hanna Nuttman park will remain under control of the local group and may be used by them free of charge. This was determined following a mix-up when the Decatur group became part of the Limberlost area. However. Mayor Cole pointed out that since the cabin was built on city property, it under the deed to the city should remain as city property with local control only. K this were not done Decatur might well lose the entire park and it then would revert to the heirs. After a meeting with local leaders, the, area director and Mayor Cole, the situation was ironed out completely to everyone’s satisfaction. o o The Major League baseball preview, with the Red Sox and Senators opening the season at Washington was held today. Tomorrow all sixteen Major league teams wilt start the long summer season. This year we will have a completely new plan, with Los Angeles and San Francisco entered in the National league. This will entail a lot of air travel so that teams can meet their schedules. It should be an interesting schedule and of course the outcome in both leagues won’t be known for some time. Most sports critics pick Los Angeles or the Braves in the Nationals League and the Yankees again in the American League. Don't undersell St. Louis and Cincinnati in the National loop. Any way it’s a sure sign that sumrrier is here.

CHAPTER 29 I NOT UNTIL Nora Pendleton was brought to the hospital and Garry nursed her did she begin to realize what she had done. Living in Boston, Garry had followed, Nora’s activities as reported by the society pages which she read assiduously. Nora Pendleton was rich. She had everything. But the nurse had not been prepared for heartbreak or for the inexorable machinery of the law which she had set in motion. She was not prepared for the long months of anxiety and the hideous strain of the trial. "I tell you,” she said to Mr. Potter, "the first happy breath 1 drew in a year was when Mr. Young was acquitted. I tried as hard as 1 could to make up to Miss Pendleton tor what I’d done to her. No one could have tried harder.” "What about that picture of Candy,” Mr. Potter asked, “which was sent to Miss Pendleton?” "I look it out of her room. She acted odd about it and with Mr. Young free 1 was afraid of what might happen now. I hunted until I found what she had hidden. And I tore up the picture because 1 hated Candy so much." After a long silence - she added, "I told Howard Ives 1 sent the anonymous letter to protect him. But it makes no real difference, De's like most men. He'll go on loving the one who gave him nothing.” At last she went up to her room to sleep and Mr. Potter sat alone in his car, wondering how deeply the nurse had hated Candy Kendrick, who had taken from her the only admirer she was ever Likely to have. He was still sitting at the wheel when a State Police car pulled up beside him in the parking lot. There were two troopers in the front Seat and Frank Deming was alone in back. After a few words, Frank went up to the inn', white and drawn from the night’s questioning. Captain, ; Foote gave low-voiced instructions to the trooper at the wheel, ( who nodded and .sauntered glowly | after Frank. Then the Captain i called across to Mr. Potter and came to sit beside him. ( “Well,” he said, "tell me about i this attack on Miss Pendleton last night. Lt was a break for i young Deming, being with us at ■ the time.” i Mr. Potter described finding 1 Nora and the battle to keep her ] awake until the doctor came. 1 The trooper listened, frowning, j "Have you come to any conclu- ■ sions about the shenanigans go- ( ing on around here?” ;

Portland, paid a fine of $1 and costs, totaling $16.75, in the mayor’s court this morning. Waite was arrested Saturday on a charge of speeding 60 miles per hour in a posted 30 mile zone. He was apprehended on 13th street. Over $120,000 Raised On Hospital Addition More than $120,000 of $200,000 pledged has been raised in a drive starting one year ago in Blackford county to build the new addition to the Blackford county hospital at i Hartford City. An open house will be held in the new addition soon. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat i Want Ad— they bring results.

| He’d been thinking, Mr. Potter said, about their first talk at Martha’s Kitchen when Foote had remarked that the trouble with the case was that there wasn’t any real evidence against anyone but Young. Now there seemed to be evidence against everyone but Young. He began with the Hubers. Bert had no alibi for the murder of Candy Kendrick. He was supposed to have been with his wife all afternoon, painting and renovating the garden furniture, until Ives’ horse came back and he set out to look for him. Actually, according to Ives, Huger had been drunk at the time. Mr. Potter repeated the conversation he had overheard between the Hugers. “Wherever Bert was that afternoon, he wasn’t at the inn. And he was attracted to Candy.” So far as Mrs. Riddle’s murder was concerned, Bert had obviously lied. He had not spent the evening in the Annex with his wife as he claimed. He had gone off, drunk, in his station wagon. But the Hugers had not killed Olive Riddle. That afternoon they had attempted to blackmail Nora, claiming that she was the only person with a motive for killing her aunt. "You really get around, don’t you?” Captain Foote remarked in some amusement. -'""V Mr. Potter went on to say that Miss Garrison had sent the anonymous letter accusing Stuart Young. "She was trying to protect Ives, of course, who is now engaged to her. So far as I know, there is no way of determining how long Ives lay helpless after hfs horse threw him. If he is telling the truth about being thrown at’ four o'clock, he is in the clear. If Huger is telling the truth, and the horse didn't return to the stables until long : after fiye, Ives could easily have killed the girl before wrenching his knee. Personally, I’m inclined to believe Ives because Huger is a congenital liar.” “I don’t know,” Foote said in disgust, "why we have a police force when you can pick up all this in a couple of days.” "Things have been happening and that makes people talk where they'd ordinarily clam up.” "Nothing makes Frank Deming talk,” the officer said in disgust, "or else he hasn’t anytliing to talk about. We’ve been at him for hours. You know, I believed his old man on the witness stand. Deming struck me as being completely truthful. ‘As for Frank, he admits now he has no alibi for Candy’s murder but we couldn’t get any other damaging admix-

sion out of him. He swears he had nothing to do with Mrs. Riddle's death, that he believes she tripped and fell. He wasn’t interested in Nora changing her will. He had assumed it was done when his father testified against Young. There was no reason on • i‘ earth why she should leave him any money.” — The Captain stretched. “Well, [ we’ve been up frith young Deming all night. I’m leaving a man on guard here and I’ll go catch some sleep. Then I’ll take a fresh look at all these people.” "There are two other possibilities you might consider," Mr. Potter said. "First, there is Tom Jones, who now claims to be Tom Kendrick, Candy's uncle. He was right on my tail when 1 found that photograph of Candy but at that time he wasn’t talking. Said only that he was getting a free lesson in how not to De an amateur snoop. But later he let me get the impression that he had come to track down her killer himself." • I Foote’s jaw dropped and Mr. Potter explained how he had run down Kendrick’s identity. "I’m not sure what I think of the man. He could be tough. Very tough." "Could he have pushed Mrs. Riddle, thinking she was the Pen- j dleton girl and that she had killed Candy t No," the trooper answered his own question, "that is ridiculous. And where would Jones, or whoever lie is, get morphine?" "The Stanleyville doctor believed it was a suicide attempt." "Suicide! Nora Pendleton? But why?” The trooper looked at Mr. Potter. “But, dear God,” he said softly, “that’s not possible.” "Oh, yes,” Mr. Potter said, “it is quite possible that Nora Pendleton is the murderer. I've been aware of that from the beginning, but 1 doubt whether we'd be able to prove it. The only person ui a position to be fairly sure is Stuart Young. If a year under false arrest and trial for his iifs wouldn’t make him betray her I don’.t know what would.” . Foote asked at length. “Do you think her lawyer knows?” “I think he suspects." Mr. Potter eased himself out from under the'whecl. "That reminds me, he’s up in Nora’s room now, standing guard. I’ll replace him for a while.” *1 guess you had better know about me.” Nora aay<te ” Mr. Potter. “Perhaps the real trouble is w. that 1 am in danger, it’s that I am dangerous.” Continue the story hero tomorrow

April 30 Deadline For Wool Payments Clear Record Must Be Established Wool growers who expect to apply for payments under the incentixe payment program for wool should be sure that a clear record is established as to whether the wool was sold before or after April 1, 1958. says Victor Bleeke, chairman of the Adams county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee. . In the wool program, conducted under the national wool act of 1954. marketing is considered completed when delivery has taken place (either physically or through documents) and all factors needed to determine the total sales proceeds, such as weight and price per pound, become available. If all of these factors are determined before April 1, the wool Is considered marketed in the 1957 marketing year and will be eligible for payment this coming summer; if any any remain to be determined after Aprill, the sale goes over to the 1958 marketing jfear. Bleeke said that all sales should be in good faith and that a grower may not cancel or repudiate a sale actually made before April 1 and then enter into a new sales agreement for the same wool after April 1 merely to get the transaction into the next marketing year. In such circumstances, he pointed out buyers and marketing agencies, as well as growers, may be subjecte to civil and criminal liability. Bleeke reminds wool growers that applications for payments on wool sold before April 1, 1958, must be filed in the county ASC office not later than April 30, 1958 to be eligible to receive a payment. These dates also apply to lamb sold between April 1, 1957 and March 31, 1958. April 15 Deadline To Sign Contracts April 15 is the deadline for signing an application to place land in the conservation reserve for 1958. Victor Bleeke, chairman of the Adams County ASC Committee announced today. The conservation reserve program contracts may run for 3, 5, or 10 years. Annual payments of No. 13. per acre are made under all contracts and in addition cost-share pavements for installing a conservation practice are made under the 5 and 10 year contracts. This program protects soil productivity, controls erosion and is a long-term land-use adjustment — such as retiring fields not well adapted for cultivation to permanent cover.
