Decatur and area businessmen will be interested to know that a yes vote on the wheat referendum will mean $21,940,042 to Indiana farmers. That is a tremendous purchasing boon, it must be admitted. But that is the difference between support prices on the allowed acreage, and a freemarket price on total wheat acreage for 1959. Nearly 22 million dollars to Hoosier farmers means a lot to merchants in Adams county as well as the rest of the state. Most of this will go into purchases of consumer goods. 0 o—— Saturday, Adams county will celebrate Flag Day. The stars and stripes will proudly fly from the front of homes of hundreds of citizens who do not take their country for granted. June 14 Is set aside each year for patriotic remembrance of what the flag means to us. A ceremony at 7:30 p.m. in front of the Elks home on Second street will emphasize the importance of the flag. Judge Robert Harrington of Van Wert, 0., will be the speaker. The public is, of course, invited to take part in the ceremonies which are also sponsored by the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. ——o o Horsepulling contests have not been held near Decatur for about 18 years. It is understood that local enthusiasts are now arranging for a contest to be held here this summer. Such a plan is a fine thing. Many can remember when Decatur was one of the great horse markets in the Middlewest, and horses were an important part of our economy. Now nostalgia on the part of oldtim-

ers and genuine inquisitiveness on the part of the newer generation should draw quite a crowd to a real pulling contest. o— ——o—— For tiie third consecutive year Adams county farmers who border on the Wabash river will lose their crops. Between 50 and 100 good-sized farms are affected in Adams county. Countless others in Ohio, and Jay, Wells, Huntington, and downstream in Indiana are also flooded out. Why? Because a narrow, shallow, twisting channel, thoroughly clogged with fallen trees, drifts, changes in the course, etc., slows down the drainage of the area, backing the water over fertile farmlahd. Can the problem be solved without huge expenditures? Yes, by utilizing a federal program. Will this mean more in taxes? No, the money has already been appropriated y by Congress, and we have already paid for it through taxes. If we do not take advantage of the program, others will, and we will have paid for their progress What is the program? Congress has passed a flood control act for small watersheds. Two counties above Adams in Ohio are already starting the legal process to take advantage of the law. More information on the program is available from the U. S. soil conservation service. The economies of Geneva and Berne are vitally affected by these recurring floods. Any individual or organization which desires more information towards starting such a program should inquire at once. Every day wasted means less incoma lor the afflicted farms, and their merchants in the trading area.

20 Years Ago Today o O 20 Years Ago June 13, 1938 — Decatur and the immediate surrounding area were mopping up today from what was described as probably the heaviest one-day rainfall in the city’s history. There 3.66 inches of rain in a 12-hour period. Two Decatur young men have completed their college training. Charles D. Ehinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Ehinger, who received a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering at Purdue University, has accepted employment as an electrical engineer with the Central Soya Co., and Thomas J. Voglewede, son of Mrs. Charles Voglewede, granted a bachelor of aeronautical engineering degree at the University of Detroit, has been given a temporary appointment with the U. S. Navy as an aeronautical engineer at Hampton Roads Va. The Home Economics clubs of Adams county will present an exhibit this summer during the annual Decatur free street fair.

CHAPTER 28 BREVET Captain Emil Schwabacker glanced at his witch: quarter to twelve. Opening his door, he stepped out to the edge of the duck walk and stood there, looking at the dark parade. A man came along the walk, his shoes lightly rattling the boards. When he passed Schwabacker, he turned and came back. "Captain Schwabacker ?" “Yes?" The man offered his hand. ‘Tm Allistair Davis, a newspaper man. I’ve come from Chicago for an interview with yon, Captain. You’re big news. Two weeks ago you crowded the proposed transcontinental railroad off of page one.” “That’s very flattering,” Set wabacker said, “but what is it you want ?” "A story," Davis said. He nodded toward the open door of Schwabacker's quarters. “May I come in?” "Certainly,” Schwabacker said and followed him inside. He closed the door, indicated a chair, then sat on the bed while Davis got out paper and pencil. “A few unofficial opinions, Captain,” Davis said. "You engaged Red Cloud; isn't that right?” “I engaged a small portion of his forces,” Schwabacker said. “I don’t believe we have enough troops on the frontier to survive a mass attack." “. . . survive mass attack . . .” Davis stopped writing. “Captain, I understand that a new rifle has been issued to the troops. Do you feel that this will provide an advantage over the hostiles?” “As long as we can keep it quiet,” Schwabacker said. He lifted his head quickly. "Mr. Davis, this will be cleared with General Wessels, will it not ?” “Certainly," Davis said and went on writing. "Now, Captain, you say, as long as the issue can be kept quiet. What do you mean?” "Well, we are aware of the fact that Red Cloud usually employs one method of attack when engaging our troops. It’s the general's opinion that this method is successful because of our muzzleloading weapons. However, if we can dupe Red Cloud into attacking in his usual manner, we can surprise him greatly by presenting a rapid-fire breech-loader In defense.’* Davis’ pen' scratched on. “You’ve just returned from Fort Smith. What is your opinion of the post and its defense?" “Barely minimum," Schwabacker said. “You can spread men just so thin, Mr. Davis. General Wessels has just so many to spread.” "I see. Do you feel that Department of Platte has been negligent in supplying troops and material?" “That’s not for me to say, sir." “There’s a peace commission preparing to journey west to Laramie, Captain. Do you think the Sioux are ready to talk?"

nita Debolt vs Lloyd Debout. An affidavit and application for temporary allowance and attorney fees was filed. A notice was ordered issued to the sheriff of Adams county for the defendant returnable June 14 at 9 a.m. Complaint Cases In the case of Chester L. Haines vs Robert B. Popplewell, the parties have failed to agree on which county to venue the cause. The Adams circuit court named the adjoining counties of Allen, Wells, and Jay counties in which to venue. The court granted the parties 14 days to strike. The attorneys for the defendant entered an appearance for the case of The First State Bank of Dunkirk, an Indiana corporation, vs Farling s Meat and Food Products, Inc. an Indiana corporation Don Harmon, doing business as Harmon’s Dnye-In Grocers vs George Hawkins, on motion of the plaintiff the cause was continued.

“Not at this time," Schwabacker said. “Mr. Davis, Red Cloud will have to be drsatloaily reduced in fighting strength before peace terms can be presented. The Cheyennes may react quite differently. It’s been my honor to have drubbed them thoroughly on two separate occasions. They’re good fighters, but they lack the Sioux heart. Mr. Davis, the Sioux Indian Is quite possibly the finest light cavalry in the world. The warriors are “fanatically brave, their leaders intelligent, and they go into battle with prearranged tactics, like any other army. They deploy, flank, circle, attack in waves. All they lack is artillery and a quartermaster corps.” Davis laughed at this, but took care to write every word of it down. When he was finished, he said, ‘lt seems to me that the peace commission will have difficulty arranging a meeting between the warring Indians and the government.” "That will be the most difficult,” Schwabacker said, “the initial contact. Timing is of the essence where the Indian is concerned. If they believe their medicine has been turned against them, they will listed to talk. If they feel that the medicine is right, the man who enters their camp will probably never come out” “That's an unpleasant thought,” Davis said and flipped a page. "During your patrol to Smith and back, did you observe hostile activity ?” "Mr. Davis, you can’t step off the post without being among them. However, the bulk of the hostile forces seems to be shifting. They've abandoned harassment of the road between here and Laramie, and are concentrating forces between here and Fort Smith." "For war?" Schwabacker smiled. “Mr. Davis, they’ve been making war ever since Colonel Carrington built Kearny and Smith.” "Os course," Davis said hastily. He closed his book and stood up, putting pencil and book in his inner coat pocket. "Thank you for the Interview. Captain. The readers back East like' 1 to know what’s going on out here. After all, it’s the taxpayers’ money that’s being spent” He smiled and went to the door. "You will clear this with the general ?’’ Schwabacker reminded him. ■ "Os course," Davis said. "I have other material to gather. Good night Captain.” "Good night" Schwabacker said and stood in the doorway while Allistair Davis walked away. Schwabacker wrestled off his boots and lay down on his bunk, his hands behind his head. He Couldn’t help thinking of Davis, coming all that way for a story. Must have taken him a week of day-and-night riding in dirty trains and dusty stages. He went over in his mind the many things

es, administrator of the estate of Arba R. Haines, deceased, vs Robert B. Popple well, the parties have failed to agree on which county to venue the cause. The Adams county circuit court named the adjoining counties of Allen, Wells, and Jay counties in which to venue. The court granted the parties 14 days to strike. Estate Cases In the estate of Anna Ostermeyer, the inventory number one was filed, examined and approved, showing the total appraised value of the estate to be $5,155. The proof of mailing to all interested persons in the determination of inheritance tax was filed in the estate of Anthony J. Metzler. The inheritance tax appraiser’s report was filed, showing the net value of the estate to be $26,614.72. Real Estate Transfers Ray Stingely etux to Daniel R. Freeby etux. inlot 464 in Decatur.

Davis had asked, and wondered if he hadn’t said too much. The sentry at the main gate called for the sergeant of the guard and Schwabacker listened to the sounds. A pair of horsemen rode across the parade, then the gate squeaked and they were let out. The gate closed and the post fell silent Finally he got up, pulled on his boots and went out. At the guardhouse he spoke to the officer of the day, who was brewing a fresh pot of coffeeto push back his sleepiness. Schwabacker leaned against the rough wall and asked, “Which quarters are occupied by Allistair Davis?” “A, with Lieutenant Eastwood, but Davis is not on the post." “That’s ridiculous! He left me not over fifteen minutes ago.” “I won’t dispute that,” the O.D. said, “but he’s gone. He checked a horse out of the remount stables and left with the late courier. Davis is on his way to Laramie right now. Said he had an important telegram to get off to his paper." “You fool!” Schwabacker snapped. “Bid you check his pass? Did he have a clearance from General Wessels?" “Well," the O.D. said, suddenly realizing that a captain was speaking to him, and that he was in trouble. "No, I didn’t sir. I supposed that he had cleared with headquarters. He came up with the courier. I thought . . "You thought! Mister, you’re bragging!" "I’m sorry, sir. I could send out a detail . . ." "They’d never catch them," Schwabacker snapped. "Mister, you're cm report!” Captain Schwabacker stormed out, then stopped on the dark walk. What could he do now? Hold his breath until the newspapers started hitting the streets ? . . . I’m in hot water now. Schwabacker could feel it eddying up around his feet while his impetuous remarks about the military situation clanged in his head like a bell. B. • B A week passed. Undoubtedly Allistair Davis’ story was in the papers, but with mail stages running few and far between, another two weeks could go by before a paper reached the frontier. Dispatch riders carried only letters. Papers and packages were too bulky for saddle handling. It was the fifteenth day of July when Captain Schwabacker was having breakfast In the troop mess. He was wondering if General Wessels had received word from eastern headquarters when an orderly approached and said that the general wanted to see him. Schwabacker has a question for the General: "Ain 1 relieved of my command, sir?” Continue Chapter 29 of “The Bran and the Blue" taro tomorrow.
