Pride in the beauty of a garden is a natural human trait, and reaches its highest pinnacle during an exhibition of flowers. The Decatur garden club and the Rose garden club will sponsor a b> public flower show at the Decatur library an day Saturday. Many beautiful flowers will be on exhibit. Every citizen should try to visit the show sometime during the day. Every encouragement should be given to an art that helps make our city more beautiful. - o-—o—— President Eisenhower stated last week that the current recession is drawing to a close. We wonder where he got his information. Purdue university agricultural economists say they expect business activity to slacken further at a decreasing rate, but no upturn until possibly early 1959. The Erie Railroad reports that it operated at a loss of 33,374,414 in the first four months of the year compared to a profit of 31,535,621 for the ’same period last year. Auto company troubles are well known. Business failures edged up and were moderately higher than a year ago, and exceeded considerably those of 1956 for the same period, Dun & Bradstreet reports. (Indiana failures produced liabilities of $3,394,000 in the first four months, compared to $2,218,000 a year ago.). Encouraging in the economic picture is the report of an increase of 4% in the construction indus- c try for April, as compared with one year ago. Since November of last year, figures have shown a decrease every month, and the first four months of this year is still 1% under last o o Adams county residents who are interested in saving tax money should write their Congressman and urge strong support for bill S. 3911. This bill will grant consent of Congress to consolidate the funds raised by the sale of section 16 in each township for school purposes. The fund was set up originally by the ordinance of 1785.

lands was put in a trust fund now administered by the auditor of each county. This money is , loaned out at 4% interest. But the county must pay 4% interest on the money into the state treasury. This means that if some of the money is not loaned out, the county must make-up the difference from tax funds. While it ' does not represent a large sum, it is a continual expense. The bill would allow the state to loan out the money. At one time, when money was extremely scarce, and banking institutions were not responsible, lending of state money through the county offices served a useful purpose. At the present time, a few persons who understand the working of the laws reap a profit, while the majority of taxpayers are left holding the open, and empty, bag. o o Just 29 years ago., an American president found himself in exactly the same spot that President Eisenhower through. How did he handle that situation? Let us quote from a history of the United States by Nevins and Commager: “He adopted from the first the policy of minimizing the extent of the depression and, when that was no longer possible, embraced the theory that prosperity was ‘Just around the corner.’ While Great Britain and her Dominions—as well as many other nations—confronted with substantially similiar problems — were embarking Upon elaborate programs of direct relief, firm control of banking practices, currency and credit, drastic income taxes, agricultural subsidies and crop control, large-scale public works and slum clearance, and far-reaching economic planning, the Hoover administration contended itself with measures designed to ease rural credits and to make money available to railroads, banks, and large corporations. These measures were obviously inadequate, and the situation went steadily from bad to worse." Our measures today are just as inadequate, and no new ones are suggested by our president. Ike waits, as did Hoover. <6

• • ITKR 21 f ,;~j *rr Emil Schwain .... spoke to Sergeant Me- <• .'Convey my compliments o Captain Blaine and his officers, .t -<k them to report here." McGruger moved away to the infantry positions on both flanks. The officers gathered one by one. first Lieutenant Eastwood, then Blaine and the other two commanders. Captain Blaine wore a heavy frown of displeasure. He was sweating freely and not entirely from the heat “Gentlemen," Schwabac ker said, ”1 have come to the con elusion that help will not arrive from Fort Phi] Kearny.” “That’s ridiculous!” Eastwood said. “Do you mean to imply that the general is abandoning us?” “Nothing of the kind," Schwabacker said firmly. ”1 am merely convinced that the Sioux are using us as bait for a trap. And 1 have no intention of becoming a piece of cheese, even figuratively." He glanced at his watch. "At exactly ten o’clock, Captain Blaine, 1 want a frontal assault directed at the woods. I will split my cavalry forces and create a diversion by a flanking maneuver. The object is to break through the Sioux and get onto the Boze* man Road again." “We never should have left it in the first place,” Blaine snapped, "and I’ll be most happy to testify to that at your court-mar-tial.” Schwabacker found that he too could spear a man with his eyes. He held Blaine in this manner, like a medical student examining a small specimen on the end of a scalpel. “Do you wish to assume command, Captain? Do you want my saber, sir?” Blaine waved his hand, vastly annoyed. "Good God, man!” This was all Blaine had to say, "If there are no more questions?" Schwabacker saw that there were none. No questions, just the mad desire to vacate this ominous place and gain the dubious security of four palisade walls, which Red Cloud could come over quite easily any time he so desired. The infantry officers went back to their flock and Schwabacker gave McGruger his orders. “Split the cavalry evenly, Sergeant Have every man by his horse by ten. Mount on jny hand signal and we'U try to flank the woods." The impossibility of this was written in McGruger’s blunt face. "Who'll command Jocelyn's green bunch, sir? He didn’t bring a second officer." "You will,” Schwabacker said. “Have you ever wanted to be an officer. Sergeant?” “Not enough to get killed for IL” - But he would be. Schwabacker was sure of IL And he would do «e best, which was all any man •mild ask. There was nothing left w Nut watting, and that was •win the most difficult part of - «T gt a to ten, Schwai—L—-

o —o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o — o Q. Is it really considered proper for a woman to use scented stationery, and if so, how may she best produce this scent? A. This is perfectly all right, and the best way to do it is to put a sachet bag in the drawer or box in which the stationery is kept. Q. I have been invited to an announcement tea and have been told it is customary to bring the prospective bride a gift of a cup and saucer at this time/ Is this correct? / A. While this was a custom fifty years or so ago, so far as I know now, it is no longer' practiced. Q. When <bjidfen are eating at the same table with adult§, should they be served first, last, or in regular rotation? A. Serve the children in the same rotation as the adults. -

| backer left the breastwork and assembled his troop, which was hidden from the woods by the sloping ground leading into the water. They went into the saddle at his hand signal. He turned his own troop to the right. McGruger. with Jocelyn's raw recruits, moved out to the left. A man could not hide forever, so they breasted the rise together and drove into a gallop, riding in a huge caliper-shaped movement that would place them at right angles to the woods. Faintly came the beat of drum, the lilt of fife as the infantry surged forward in mass attack. A moment later, over the pound of racing horses, came the rattle of musketry and Emil Schwabacker knew that the Sioux had at last opened fire. They were close in to the woods now and he unsheathed his saber, unholstered his pistol, going tn with dropped reins, knees locked to the straining horse. To his right and slightly rearward, the bugle was a ringing goad, the sounds of "charge” spanging among the trees, absorbed Like a bullet in cotton. .Then they were into the Sioux, suddenly, shockingly. Schwaback'‘er could hear the fierce sounds Os battle where the infantry threw their weight against the Indians. He jerked and nearly fell when a bullet ripped through his thigh and struck his horse a glancing blow. The horse, frightened now, plunged ahead, driving against a Sioux who appeared miraculously. Hooves smashed out, a man went down in blood, then Schwabacker checked the animal and wheeled to new attack. He could not win this: he knew instinctively that he was beaten. "Fall back!" The power of hts own voice surprised him. His troop, what remained of it, whirled and fought clear, then raced back toward the lake. The infantry were retreating before the Sioux fire, leaving men in sprawled shapes along the way. What remained, of McGruger’s force fell back, and Captain Blaine threw his tire power into covering the sergeant’s retreat Around Schwabacker were men who stareq with glazed eyes, the acid-brass taste of death in their mouths. The enemy had been met and men had stood and bled: there was something wholly numbing about combat No words fitted it, for too many years of civilized veneer had been stripped away and the naked lust for survival exposed. Dr. Cove Butler was working frantically with his two enlisted corpsmen. McGruger was helped off his horse and spread on a blanket, but he died almost immediately, the back of his head shot completely away. Schwabacker turned to Linahan. “How many, Corporal?” "Eleven of our troop, sor.” He scrubbed a hand across his eyes, trying to get them to focus. His breathing was a loud whistle through his teeth. "I’ll check Mc-

UAW And American Renew Negotiations Union Contract To Run Out June I'S DETROIT (UPD — The United Auto Workers Union resumed contract negotiations today with American Motors Corp. Union members at General Motors. Ford and Chrysler continued to work without a contract. The UAW contract with AMC runs out June 15. There is little likelihood of a new agreement unless the UAW can get a contract with the big three to set a pattern. The big three companies offered the UAW a two-year renewal of the old contracts signed in 1955. This would have included annual productivity wage increases and cost of living adjustments totaling at least 16 cents an Jiour over the next two years. But the UAW turned this offer down, saying the old contract fails to meet new problems. The GM contract expired last Thursday and the Ford and Chrysler pacts ran out Sunday. Since AMC is’ offering even less than the big three companies, its negotiations are expected to make little headway. AMC wants to extend the old contract without the annual pay raises or cost-of-living adjustments. At nearly 200 General Motors, Ford and Chrysler plants around the nation Monday, the half-mil-lion workers went peacefully through their first full work day without a contract. The companies are operating as under the old contracts, except: They are not" collecting union dues by payroll checkoff; they are not requiring, a union shop and they have cut down the amount of paid time union committeemen can spend adjusting grievances. Black Shoes Black shoes will need very little polishing if oil or petroleum jelly is applied to them regularly from I the time they rae purchased. Use ; only a little at a time, and rub ■ in thoroughly so as not to leave I the surface greasy.

Cruger’s bunch, sor, cut they’ve been thinned." At Captain Blaine’s position. Schwabacker saw how terrible had been the toll Twenty-five men down. Three-quarters of them dead. Blaine’s face was gray in the sunlight and there was blood on his sword. What could he say ? Schwabacker turned his horse and rode back to his own position. He wanted to dismount, but his leg was numb and he knew he could not stand on it. Corporal Linahan came back. He merely shook his head and said, "We'U not be able to split again, sor.” "I understand/’ Schwabacker said. "Absorb them into the troop, Corporal. ” "Aye, sor.” He saw Schwabacker’s blood-drenched leg. “Let me help you down, sor.” He spoke to a couple of troopers who crouched nearby, staring at the ground between their legs. “Give us a hand here, buckos. Th’ lieutenant’s been wounded.” They lifted him from the horse and placed him on the ground, where he lay back, gasping with vast relief. By turning his head he could see the breastwork and past it to the timber. Several of the Sioux came forth, intent on scalping the slain, but several of the infantrymen fired, and when the Sioux fell, no more came into sight. Cove Butler came around later, but Schwabacker., had already bandaged his thigh and would not let the doctor fuss with IL There was a burying detail to organize: he chose a spot near the water’s edge. Squad fires were built and coffee made, which seemed to help some. The morning wore into afternoon. Water had to be rationed, for the lake water was not fit to drink. Around four o’clock a hot meal was cooked, and the com rnand ate in sections, one on guard, two eating. Lieutenant Emil Schwabacker ate by himself, for his thoughts were too bitter to tolerate company. Near- ; ly a quarter of his command had died, and this would be difficult to explain. He knew for sure now that General Wessels would never arrive. If he was to get out he would have to do it on his own. He was still mulling this dismal thought over through the long shadows of evening. The laudanum Butler had supplied numbed the throb In his leg and • he found rest possible, but the weight of his responsibilities forbade sleep. Through the long night he waited, his eyes constantly on the dark smudge of timber several hundred yards away. Two hours before dawn he made his decision, and if it sounded insane, bven to himself, he put it down to the slight fever coloring his cheeks. The decision Emil makes causes Captain Blaine to think him insane. Continue the story in Chapter 22 tomorrow.

Warming Trend In Weather Forecast Scattered Showers To Criss-Cross U.S. By United Press International Scattered showers and thunderstorms were expected to crisscross through the nation today leaving in their wake generally warmer temperatures. The storms were forecast primarily for most of the Rockies and in the northern and central Plateau. However showers also were indicated for the Plains and portions of the Mississippi Valley and northern Great Lakes region. Still more rain was looked for in the "warm, humid air of the Gulf coast although it was expected to be generally dry and fair in the Atlantic coast states from the Carolinas northward. Clear skies were forecast for the far Southwest and the central and southern Great Lakes southward through the Ohio Valley. Earlier, dry weather prevailed from southern California eastward across the southern Plains and northeastward through the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region. At the same time, however, cooler air plunged into the Northeast and nighttime temperatures dropped from the 60s to the 40s and 50s. The cool air was expected to be somewhat counteracted by a warming trend likely to occur from the upper and middle Mississippi Valley across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Sidney, Neb., appeared to be one of the hardest hit Monday night by locally heavy northern and central Plains thunderstorms. Sidney measured hailstones as big as half an inch in diameter. Bismarck, N. D., measured an inch of rain during a six hour period. Jamestown and Fargo, both in North Dakota, recorded half an inch apiece. Medford, Ore., and Red Bluff, Calif., noted a third of an inch as the storm hit them. oHousehold Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE I Q— ' ■ o Cellar Walls* If the cellar walls are moldy, apply some unslacked lime with a garden spray, and see how the atmosphere of the entire house will be freshened. o Food It is not advisable to store food in the refrigerator while wrapped in paper, because the paper prevents the cold air from circulating freely about it.
