Adams county farmers made hay Wednesday while the sun was shining. Monday and Tuesday very few get in their fields to work. ——o o Emergency funds are urgently needed to help the flood victims in Indiana. At least $115,000 must be raised. There were 2,745 families which were victims of the terrible flood damage. Don’t forget to send your emergency contribution to the Adams county Red Cross. o o .... Persons out of work should consider an ad in the classified section of the Decatur Daily Democrat. Others who need work done, of either a temporary or permanent nature, read these ads, and if there is employment, you will have first chance at it. o o Somewhere in the United States are 1,500 widows of Confederate war veterans. Under a new law they are eligible for a pension of $40.64 a month if under 70 years of age, and $65 a month if over 70. If married to the veteran during his service, the widow may receive $75 a month. However, this is the first time a pension has ever been granted to the Confederate forces, so no record is in existence listing who is eligible. The civil war took place from 1861 until 1865, so few veterans or widows are left. o——o>— If you have repair work or painting to be done this summer, be very careful that the persons you hire are reputable local firms. High-powered, low-quality salesmen and painters, who will not be around to replace faulty work or low-quality paint, are getting rich these days. Reces-sion-beset Americans are looking for savings. So they “bite” when a gyp-artist comes to the door. Buying from out-of-town or out-of-state itinerants is one of the best ways of losing, rather than saving,; money. Watch for advertisements of local merchants, and save by buying and trading in Decatur.

It is the policy of the Decatur Daily Democrat to publish only signed letters. Recently, a seveni page letter criticizing the city board of health, and questioning tlje legality of its actions has been received. State law authorizes the creation of a city board of health for fifth class cities, such as Decatur, and gives it duties in the following terms, from Burns Annotated 35-609 (Acts of 1949 Ch. 157, paragraph 504, page 416): “The City Board of Health shall exercise all the powers provided by law and enforce all the rules and regulations of the state boards' The powers of the board are outlined in Burns 48-7402, as follows: "Such board of health is hereby authorized'and directed I to prepare ordinances, and the common council of every city shall, in addition to its other powers, have the power to enact ord inances for the protection of pub lie health . . .” The state courts have held that ordinances requir- > ing sanitation and sewers is within the broad powers granted by the act of 1905 and 1949, as amended. The city health inspector is appointed by the city board of health with the consent of the state as provided in state law. He is trained by the itate department of health, and enforces city ordinances, state law, and the state public health code. Our state, city and county officials are elected by majority vote. They are the trained observers of the people. It is their duty to keep up on all matters, including public health. Many diseases are transmitted by insects from filth. The elimination of outside toilets is a step towards the elimination of insect-spread disease. Just one or two such Civvies can spread disease to the entire community. Therefore, the city has passed an ordinance outlawing such privvies. Ample time is allowed to make indoor plumbing . changes. In matters of public i health and safety, as provided by democratically elected state leg- [ (islatures and city councils, the j protection of the many has precedence over the desires of a few.

County Ranks 73rd In Vote Percentage Vote Percentage Is Good In State Adams county ranked 73rd among Indiana counties in the percentage of registered voters who east ballots in the May 6 primary elections, acofding to a survey just completed by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. The unofficial survey, compiled from reports of local chambers of commerce, county clerks, and from newspaper accounts, showed 3,475 Democratic ballots cast in the county and 921 Republican ballots, for a total of 4,396, or 37.13 per cent of the registered voters. Statewide results of the survey showed 955,550, or 41.46 per cent of the state’s registered voters, cast primiary ballots this year, setting a new record for Indiana voter participation in recent primaries. The previous high was 41.39 per cent in 1950. Two years ago, only 33.92 per cent of eligible voters went to the polls in the primaries. and in 1954 vote was 36.28 per cent, according to past chamber surveys. Higher primary voting records in “off” years such as 1958, 1954 and 1950 when a president and govenor are not elected probably are accounted for, the chamber said, by the fact that thousands of two ownship officials are nominated in those years, bringing more voters to the polls. County figures in the State Chamber surveys in almost all instances represent the highest numbers of votes cast in any race in each party, and are conservative as to total ballots cast, the chamber pointed out. The 1958 statewide tabulation showed 525,840 or 55 percent of the ballots cast in the Democratic primary and 429,710 or 45 per cent in the Republican primary. The State Chamber cautioned, as it has in past surveys, that although primary voting volume may be one factor in attempting to predict party strength in the general election in a county or the state, these facts also must be though pjimary votitng volume considered: “(a) Holty contested races for

WHAT HAS HAPPENED | Trouble has broken out afresh between old Nick Considine and Rachel Kilgore. The two have been at odds for forty years, ever since they took forcible possession of large adjacent tracts of the open range in New Mexico. Now. some scrub longhorn bulls from the Kilgore herds are loose on Considine land, killing or maiming prize Hereford*. While two contending bulls were fighting, a young girl who Stopped to watch fell oft her panicked horse and landed in a chillv creek. Old Nick's nephew. Slade Considine, pulled her out and took her home to Nick's house to get dry and warm. Upon her introducing herself as Martha Kilgore, on her way to her Grandmother Rachel's ranch. Nick Considine flew into a rage. He ordered her out of his house. When Slade remonstrated. Nick told him to stay away from any of the Kilgores or he disowned. Martha's arrival at her grandmother's ranch occurs during an argument of Rachel and a U. S., government agent. Captain Catlin. Rachel has told Catlin she'll shoot any Forest Ranger that steps on her property. Upon becoming acquainted with her grandmother. Martha senses that the mischievous, though likable, old woman will use her as a pawn to annoy Nick. CHAPTER 5 "QLADE CONSIDINE sent you O a message,” Martha Kilgore told her grandmother. “You’d better keep your scrub longhorns home If you don’t want them shot by his Uncle Nick.” Rachel K ilgore shrugged. "Nick’s an old liar if he’s claiming my bulls are on his range—but I’ll send Jim Ned out to see about It tomorrow.” “One of them was certainly on his land,” Martha insisted. "That’s how I happened to fall in the creek. He was fighting a big Hereford and I stopped to watch —on a narrow trail. My horse got scared and threw me and I rolled down the hill into the crock.” The old lady plainly didn’t like being disputed. “Well, I’ll see about it!” she repeated testily. "I didn’t get those fighting bulls to pester my neighbors as much as keep them from pestering me. Having a bunch of scrub bulls is one sure way of making Wynn Thomason and Nick Considine keep their cows on their own range.” “But doesn’t that mix up your herd too?” Rachel Kilgore grinned as impishly as a Child. “Nope. I sold all my cows and calves last fall, and bought a bunch of black polled Angus steers this spring to fatten through the summer. In a Whiteface country black steers aren’t much temptation to a rustler’s loop.” In spite of her, proud bearing and some of her grand lady ways. Rachel Kilgore’s household was run plain ranch style. There was white linen oiu-the massive din-ing-room table, good, silver, and fine china, but everybody, from the head woman down to the cook - housekeeper and young Mexican roustabout, ate.together. Viewing then! dll together 1 like this, Martha found tier opinion tit

nominations in one party may disproportionately swell that party’s primary vote if there are no comparable races in the other party: ifc) many thousands of persons who do not vote in the primary vote in the general election; (c) there is a great mass of “independent” voters who frequently switch from.one party to the other or ‘scratch’ their allots for individual candidates of either party.” Leading counties in the 1958 primary on the ba&s of percentages of their registered voters participating were: Martin. 70.3 per cent; Dubois, 65.6; Jasper, 62.0; Posey, 61.9; Switzerland, 60.8; Greene, 59.8; Brown, 59.5; Vermillion, 58.8; Pike. 58.8, and Daviess, 57.5. All of the ten leading counties with the exception of Vermillion are in southern Indiana. Howard county (Kokomo), with a voting percentage of 46.3, ranked frst among the more populous counties. Others in order included Lake (Gary, East Chicago, Hammond). 44.1; Vigo (Terre Haute), 43.5; Vanderburgh (Evansville), 43.26; Madison (Anderson), 41.81; La Porte ( LaPorte and Michigan City), 38.2; Elkhart, 38.0; Grant (Marion), 37.4; Allen (Fort

her grandmother’s character went up several notches. They all treated her with affectionate familiarity—but as a gun crew expected to take on the whole U. S. Government, they didn’t stack up so high. With the exception of the Mexican kid there wasn’t a one of them under fifty. There was old Jim Ned Wheeler, the foreman, a small, wiry man with twinkling friendly eyes, whom Martha liked on first sight. He must have been somewhere around sixty. There was tall, gaunt, horsefaced Mary Mclntosh, the cookhousekeeper, about the same age as Jim Ned. And another sunwrinkled man named Hud Livingstone, probably not much over fifty. The supper table talk was mostly about the new governmental organization called the Forest Service that proposed to move in and take control of all the Federal lands in the Chupadero Mountain Range — and what Rachel Kilgore intended to do about it. “We’re mean as rattlesnakes around here, honey,” Hud winked at Martha. “We won't let them Forest Rangers put nothing over on your poor feeble ol’ grandma!” “Feeble old grandma my foot!” Rachel Kilgore's tone was almost a snort. “We’ll fight this Forest Reserve business tooth and toenail—but I’ll be the one to decide how it is done—and don’t you two old blazers forget it!” “You’re bucking something bigger than Nick Considine this time, Rachel," said Jim Ned soberly. "And I think you’re wrong to fight it!” He took a long swig of coffee, then set his cup down slowly. Rachel ‘Kilgore snorted again arid half rose from her chair, fire in her eyes. “But if you want it fought—l aim to help you—however you say,” Jim Ned added in the same sober, considering tone. “You’d dam well better!” said the old lady shortly. “And don’t scare me like that again!” Nevertheless, for all her brave boasts earlier in the afternoon, Martha could see that her grandmother was depressed and worried. Now that she had got over her.first angry shock on hearing of the Forest Service plan, she had sense enough to realize she was up against something big. But she Wasn’t the kind to stay whipped long. Before the evening was over she was making her plans. She would organize the stockmen in the Chupaderos. If they all stood pat, the Government wouldn’t force the issue, right now. Wynn Thomason’s Uncle was a senator from Colorado. He could put pressure to bear in the right places to nip this thing while it was still in the bud. — If ill these other things failed, she and all the other ranch own-

ers in the Chupaderos would fight. • • • The girl behind the desk in the small hotel called to Slade Considine as he entered the door and started across the lobby. “Oh, Slade! There was a man in here a while ago asking for you, A Captain John Catlin from Washington. He’s in Room 13 upstairs. I told him I’d tell you when you came in, and he said to go on up.” The cowboy nodded. “Thanks, Beulah.” The girl’s eyes were wistful as she watched his tall, lean figure go up the stairs two at a time. Then she turned and went back into the little private sitting-room that adjoined the lobby. Beulah Denhart was a pretty girl, with thick, straight, dark red hair, serious grey eyes, and a .cute, plump figure. When she first came to town Beulah had had a lot of attention from all the eligible males in and around Barrancas—or rather all except one, the one she could have liked a lot if she had ever had any encouragement. That one had always been friendly and that was all—until finally Beulah had realized that’s the w’ay it always would be. She wore a diamond on her left hand now, but she had never been completely happy about it. The women of Barrancas were a little suspicious Os her. They didn’t approve of a young, pretty girl running a hotel by herself In the first place, and in the second place there was something about the girl —a kind of deep, inner reserve—that held them at arm’s length and aroused their resentment. —— A cowboy lounging in a deep leather armchair in her living room straightened up as she came in .the door. “Beulah, did I hear you telling Slade Considine that there was a man from Washington wanting to see him?” She nodded. “Dam, why didn’t you tell me Captain Catlin was in?” t "You didn’t ask me.” She smiled at him. "Naturally I sup- x posed you came to see me. "Stop swearing, Wynn!” she continued. "And keep your shirt on! Slade won’t be up there all day, and when’he leave? you can see Captain Catlin.” She emptied his ash-tray, plumped up a pillow on |he couch and sat down. “Did you know Mrs. Kilgore had a granddaughter?" “No. Is she pretty?” "She’s the most beautiful girl I ever saw in my life,” Beulah Denh ar t said soberly. “She stopped here night before last and asj££d liow to get out there. She’s so lovely I wanted to hate * her—and then she was so darned nice and friendly I couldn’t help liking her.” (To Be Continued)
