Every precinct in Adams county was represented, and nearly every committeeman and woman attended the Democratic reorganization meeting Saturday afternoon. Dr. Harry H. Hebble was reelected county chairman over Bernard J. Clark. The election was most peculiar, because afterwards no feeling of rancor lingered to mar the success of the meeting. All the precinct committeemen. including Clark, and his supporters, plan to pitch in to assure a Democratic victory in November. County chairman Hebbie adopted a forgive and forget attitude toward the disatisfied, arid before the rest of the election was over, harmony prevailed. o o Congratulations to Decatur high school senior Larry Moses, who qualified for the Indiana track regional by winning third place in the 220 yard dash. Moses’ efforts In track this year complete a high school athletic record which has been outstanding. . o o Have you received your boos- >! ter polio shot yet? While infantile paralysis has declined in the past few years, another serious outbreak is still possible. Polio shots may save you from death or crippling paralysis. Make sure that everyone under 40 in your family has been immunized with the Salkvaceine. — The county commissioners, controlled by the Republicans at the present time, are responsible for keeping the court house clock running. They have let the contract to the Gage Tool and Engineering Company. The clock has not operated for the last week because a motor is burned out, and a special motor, now on order, must be awaited. Someone has suggested that if the Republican commissioners cannot keep the clock running on time, they might set up a stake in tho court house yard so county residents can tell time by estimating Bie point on the clock's face halfaray between the sun’s shadow " and north.

The city golf league starts Monday with eight teams ready for action. Golf is a fine summer sport for men tired out by a hard day at the factory or office. Our own golf club adds prestige and pride to our city. —o —*-o—— ‘ When will businessmen ever learn of the pitfalls of Republican slogans! Business failures for the first two months of this year are running at the rate of 15,102 per year-compared with only 7,611 in 1952. This is an increase of 98.4% by the so-called ‘ business government”! o o With the closing of public schools, many of the churches in the Decatur area will be running Bible schools during the mornings to teach the youth basic fundamentals from the old and new testaments. A knowledge of the Bible is as necessary in American society as reading and writing. Those who are without learning from the Bible are cut off from basic understanding of 'our society. Don’t let this happen to your children. Send them to the church of your choice for Bible training. o o The Federal Reserve bank has finally cut the discount rate, eas- . ing the cost of borrowing money. This is a good step to help stop the recession. However, it should be remembered that it was the present administration which raised the cost of borrowing money in the first place, taking billions of dollars out of the consumer market. Interest costs on the national debt have spiraled o up as the Government too must pay higher costs for the money it borrows. GOP higher interest rates have cost U. S. taxpayers about $4 billion in the past five years. It is quite possible that factories would still be operating at 100% capacity if this money were available for consumer goods right now. A vote for W. Robert Fleming for Congress in November will return sanity to ' r= — 1 . ■ . ■ . government.

WHAT IS HAPPKNINO Second Lieutenant Emil Schwabacker bad had a year of dreary inaction with the Ca\a!ry at Fort Laramie, Wyoming. He felt pent up under the infallibly exacting, coldly -e---served. First Lieutenant Temple Jocelyn. Even the thought of his fiancee. Henrietta, was not consoling, for she was back in Vermont, a painful memory. The patrol which brought him to Ryndlce's ranch was a turning point in his life. A company of infantry had been sent to reinforce Fort Laramie. Jocelyn's troop had been Ordered to rendezvous with the foot soldiers at the ranch and escort them. A mile from Ryndlee's, .the cavalrymen saw the infantry position ringed by attacking Indians. Jocelyn sent Emil with part of the troop to flank the * Indians while Jocelyn pushed through to the infantrymen’s aid. When the two-pronged (assault bad forced tile Indiana to draw back. Emil and Jocelyn found the company of infantry shattered, and its captain, Nathan Kincaid, in agony with a badly mangled arm. Emil, who had run away from a medical career to the Army, amputated the arm. Then, in a renewed Indian attack, Jocelyn wa3 wounded, and it was up to Scliwabacker to take command and try to save the force. CHAPTER 7 AT NOON Jake Ryndlee went into the kitchen and made ten gallons of stew, which was ladled into mess kits. Schwabacker had been alternating his time between Captain Kincaid and an observation post he had-established in Ryndlee’s attic. Plainly the hostile* were settling down for a Siege; a Are was visible and they were gathering around it.-eating, gesturing often toward the road ranch. Corporal Linahan proved his value as a surgeon’s assistant when he sutured Schwabacker’s arm and bandaged it. With the laudanum used up, Schwabacker could only sit back with his pain and put up with it He lessened it by telling himself that Jocelyn and Captain Kincaid had suffered infinitely more. Corporal Linahan left the attic to get Schwabacker a plate of stew. He came back and the young lieutenant balanced it on his knees. While Schwabacker ate, Linahan looked out at the hostiles. Finally he turned back and said, “Durned near two years now. they've been content to watch us. Now they attack. You got any idea why, sor?” "We’re at war with them,” Schwabacker said. He shook his head. “I’m not a general, Mike. I don’t know the answers. Things have away of passing me up. The Important things, anyway.” Linahan leaned back against the wall. His voice was softly slurred. "I been at Laramie nearly ten years, sor. Seen a heap of Injuns there; Cheyennes, Arapahoe, Kiowa; you name ’em, I’ve seert ’em. This is Spotted Tail’s bunch, sor. Up to now he's been a peaceful Cheyenne. It don’t 'figure, him startin’ trouble this far east on the Bozeman Road, i sor. Not with Laramie only a day’s march west” "Figure or not, you’ve got trouble now,” Schwabacker said. Steps on the ladder brought .their attention around and Lydia

) Kincaid settled in the loft. She ; smoothed her dirt-spotted dress . over her legs and sat down across r from Emil Schwabacker. Corpo- ; ral Linahan excused himself, and ■ when he had gone, she said, “I j want to thank you for what you did for Nathan.” [ “We’ll get him out of here to- ’ night,” Schwabacker said. I "Is that possible?” ! He shrugged, “Both your hus- ' band and Lieutenant Jocelyn need j hospitalization. The nearest is a i good day’s march from here. So J it becomes not a matter of can . I move them; I must move them, ; and soon.” i “My husband's suffering terri- ; bly from shock. Will he die?” "Not if I can get him to Lar--1 amie,” Schwabacker said. _ ' "If is a big word, Lieutenant. I've heard it enough to know.” He sighed. “Corporal Linahan will rig a litter in the ambulance.” her. She was holding herself m; she had the will and courage to do it, too. But then he received the distinct impression that this was a long habit with her, that her disappointments had been many. Impulsively he touched her hand. . "Mrs. Kincaid, the army takes good care of its soldiers. We’ll, get him to the post safely." "Yes,’’ she said softly. “I be-! lieve you will. I saw your hold- _ ing action, Mr. Schwabacker. Very impetuous and very brave." “Desperate is the word,” he said, revealing to her a fragment of his uncertainties, his doubts. He wondered if all command was this heavy on a man's shoulders, and if it was, where he would get the strength to bear up under thirty-five years of it. • • • Late in the jaifternoon the rain began again, turning the horizon to a slate-gray smudge. Lieutenant Schwabacker studied the Indians through the downstairs window. Actually he had a better position of observation in the attic, but he felt a pressing need to show Lieutenant Jocelyn that he was not hiding. Jocelyn still sat against the wall, a bloody bandage binding his chest. His eyes followed Schwabacker's every move. Schwabacker could remember distinctly how his father would watch him like that, even when he was a child, as' though he expected some heretofore hidden flaw to appear sud(Tenly and was afraid he would 1 miss it. - . Schwabacker brought himself up with a start, for never before had he consciously noticed the : similarity between Temple Jocelyn’s eyes and those of his father. ■ To get away he turned and went into Captain Kincaid’s room for a look. In spite of the whiskeyinduced stupor, Kincaid was suffering terrible agony. His pulse was rapid, his breathing shallow and he perspired freely, although shaking as though he had chills.

Twilight Orchard Meeting Wednesday Noble County Tour Planned Wednesday A twilight orchard meeting will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Clarence Chapman orchard. Noble county, says county agent Leo N. Seltenright. The Chapman orchard is one mile west off Road number 9 and one-fourth mile north of Rome City. iTurn west at the Kneipp Springs Sanitarium.) Dr. F. H. Emerson, extension horticulturist, from Purdue, will be present for the meeting. The orchard tour will start sharply at 7 o’clock. Growers will inspect orchard problems found. After the tour, the group will assemble at the house for further discussion. Chapman specializes in apples with 30 acres of bearing trees. Most of the program will be devoted to tree fruits but all fruit growers are invited. The program was planned by the northeastern growers’ association, with president Clarence Chapman, and secretary, Henry Rehm. Other directors of the association promoting the meeting are: Dennis Smith, Russell Sink, LaGrange; Seymour Butler, Paul Jackson, Steuben: C. D. Ross, Noble; Clarence Hosier, Allen; Gerhard Bultemeier, Adams. j Fruit growers who are interested in seeing a loose housing dairy barn and horizontal self-feeding silo are invited by Chapman to come at 6:30 before the orchard tour starts. Judge Wilbur Royse Seeks Renomination INDIANAPOLIS OP — Judge Wilbur A. Royse, a member of the Indiana Appellate Court since 1943. announced Saturday night he would seek renomination in the Republican State Convention June 27 for his fifth term. Royse, of Indianapolis, is one of four Appellate Court judges whose terms expire next January. All six members of the court are Republicans. Trade In a good town — Decatu-

. >‘ l Schwabacker stood there, recognizing the symptoms of shock, yet unable to help the man. If he only had some laudanum. Lieutenant Matthew Eastwood came in. He said, “He looks bad.” For a reason beyond his understanding, Schwabacker could find offense in Eastwood. “Mr. Eastwood, how long have you been in the army?” “One dismal year, give or take a few months.” Schwabacker brought ou£„ his black book; it was his now that Jocelyn was unable to command. Schwabacker wrote that down. “Now, Mr. Eastwood, I would like the particulars of Captain Kincaid’s engagement with Spotted Tail's Cheyennes.” Eastwood shrugged. “They caught us on open ground and opened fire before he could deploy. The captain decided to make a rim for it.” He cocked his head to one side. "Did you ever see infantry run from a mounted force?" “I’ll make the necessary inquiries,” Schwabacker said flatly. "Mr. Eastwood, please recount any constructive action you displayed during this engagement.” "I wasn't in command,” Eastwood said. "I’ll say that at Capi tain Kincaid’s court-martial. •T> jtake orders like you do.” He {fished a cigar out Os his blouse | pocket and put a match to it. "Stop acting like the Important rriari wfth me. When the time comes to command, I’ll command, not show my tail.” He turned to the door. "It’ll be interesting to see whether you can get us out of here or not. Personally, I don't think you cavalry boys are as good as you think you are.” For several minutes after Eastwood went out, Schwabacker concentrated on controlling his temper. Finally he returned to the main room and spoke to Sergeant Finnegan. "I believe it’s time to trick Spotted Tail, Sergeant. Take three men in the yard and hitch the mounts td the stage and wagons.” “Yes, sor,” Finnegan said, turning. He took two steps before halting and turning back. "Hitch them, sor? They won’t take harness, sor.” “Nonsense,” Schwabacker said, smiling slightly. “You have a way with animals, Finnegan.” “If you say so, sor.” He glanced at Jocelyn as if in apol- , ogy, then went out. Sergeant McGruger was crouched against the south wall and Schwabacker motioned for him to come over. “We’ll have to have a hanging Utter for the captain, Sergeant. Lieutenant Jocelyn can be tied to his horse.” At McGruger’s frown, Schwabacker explained; “I believe I know the lieutenant’s pride; he’d have to be dead before he’d permit himself to be hauled in a wagon.” iTo Be * Continued)

0 County Agent's Column 0 0 Early Planting Indiana farmers, harassed with wet corn last year and anxious to plant early this year, may sacrifice stand and yield by planting on cold, wet soils, Purdue University agronomists point out. A seven-year test at Lafayette by Purdue scientists gave an average reduction of three bushels an acre for corn planted between April 28 and May 10 compared to corn planted in mid or late May. Corn planted too early in any part of Indiana on cold, wet soil gets away to a slow start, reminds Keller E. Beeson, Purdue extension agronomist. Early forenoon temperatures at three inches beneath the surface should be at least 55 degrees on most soils j to get the seedlings started rapidly. The time these temperatures are reached varies in different parts of the state and with soil „ types. Soybeans require a similar ; Itoll temperature and sorghums a still warmer soil. Quick germination and fast early growth are very important to a good corn crop. Adequate fertilization is a necessity, says Beeson.

A company of infantry had been sent to reinforce Fort Laramie. Jocelyn's troop had been ordered to rendezvous witii the foot soldiers at the ranch and escort them. A_JBlils_ from Ryndlee's, the cavalrymen saw l s«. the infantry position ringed by attacking Indians. Jocelyn sent Emil with part of the troop to flank the Indians while Jocelyn pushed through to the infantrymen's aid. When the two-pronged assault had forced the Indians to draw back, Emil and Jocelyn found the company of infantry shattered, and its captain, Nathan Kincaid, in agony with a badly mangled arm. Emil, who had run away from a medical career to the Army, amputated the arm. Then, in a renewed Indian attack, Jocelyn was wounded, and it was up to Schwabacker to take command and try to save the force. Emil decides that by tricking the Cheyenne leader, Spotted Tail, he has a chance to lead the Army men out of the Indians’ trap. To save Jocelyn's pride, Emil orders him tied in a saddle erect, rather than carried by litter. CHAPTER 8 “ A FTER you rig the litter for ** Captain Kincaid,” Schwabacker said to Sergeqjit McGruger, "I want the troop moved Into the yard and into the wagons one at a time. It is important that the Indians do not see you. This can be accomplished by placing the wagons in a tight row, thereby hiding your movements." “I understand, sir," McGruger said. “You want to move out while they think we remain in force." “Precisely,” Schwabacker said. “They'll no doubt attack the wagons, thinking they’re empty, but I believe a surprise raking with volley fire will discourage them." After McGruger left, Schwabacker opened the side door and stood there, watching the four men in the yard. He saw that Jocelyn’s head was turned, his eyes still intent on him. On impulse he knelt and asked, “How are you, sir?” "Better than ... I expected to be. You’re a good . . . doctor, Mr. Schwabacker." He found strength for a smile. “I couldn’t help overhearing. A bold plan. If they want to crush you, a volley . . . won’t stop them.” “That’s a chance I have to 'take,” Schwabacker said. “Do you approve, sir?” “Your decision, Mr. Schwabacker." Jocelyn paused to saw for wind. "When you command ... seek advice from no man. Command is an . . . island. A lonely . . . island." | For a moment Schwabacker could not understand this man, then he did, fully. Temple Jocelyn would not offer advice. He was forcing Schwabacker to stand alone or fall, and if he fell, Jocelyn was the kind who would let him lie. A hard school, Schwabacker decided, but no harder than that of his father, who neither understood nor tolift anything

Good God, I even sound like Jocelyn now. The honesty of the thought was a shock, but he let none of it carry through to his expression.

Finally the teams were . waiting and a strong trooper stood at each horse’s head, talk- , ing in low tones to calm it. ’ The Indians paraded back and . forth, savage and patient, watching every move that was made in the yard. ’ Darkness was an hour away j when Sergeant Finnegan said, “Ready, sor.

cried out in a loud voice. fJnetiy they carried him to the waiting i ambulance. The troopers hiding ; inside helped lift him to the sling litter suspended from the top cross members. Ryndlee came out J last, a sack on one shqulder and j a Henry repeating rifle sagging in the crook of his arm. Schwabacker urged Mrs. Kincaid into the ambulance, then 1 mounted his horse, which the bugler led .from, the bam. Joce-— lyn Wjgs Still tipped forward in the saddle, his head resting on the horse’s mane. The command mounted—those who had been chosen to be in sight—and Schwabacker gave the hand signal to move out.* Without haste they vacated Ryndlee’s yard, and although he set this slack pace, Schwabacker fijund it drawing his nerves as tight as a dulcimer string. The Indians broke away from their former position and one segment cut around to the rear of the moving column, finally drawing up in a line a hundred yards to the left. The remaining hoe tiles paralleled the troop on the right, keeping the same distance. After a nerve-smashing mile of this, Schwabacker said, “Why don’t they come in and get it over with?” He had a button on his blouse undone and rode with his hand tucked into the opening. Sergeant Finnegan, riding close on Schwabackcr's right, said, "They haven't figured it out yet, sor. Be dark in another twenty minutes. If they’re goin’ to close, — they'll do it before then. They 1 don’t like to fight at night out special medicine.” Swinging around in the saddle, Emil Schwabacker looked bade at the closely bunched wagons. Troopers drove with their carbines across their knees, splitting their attention between team handling and the pacing Indians. The bulk of the command was in the wagons, completely hidden. An officer, Schwabacker reminded himself, was supposed to draw conclusions, and he put his mind to this task. After a year of constant patrol in this area he had observed many things, most particularly the Indians, who always seemed to be moving about, but had never before been actively hostile. This attack on Ryndlee’s was not a spur-of-the-moment result of some medicine man's preaching; careful planning was evident in the running off of Ryndlee’s spare horses, which in turn drew the help away from the road ranch. And then there was the matter of organized intelligence; the Cheyennes had known an infantry company was marching toward Fort® Laramie. And they had stopped it completely. The conclusion was not hard to reach; Red Cloud had at last sue-" ceeded in uniting the Cheyenne . and the Sioux for the all-out push against General Wessels and Fort Phil Kearny along the Bozemaa ■Road.
