Huntington city police have begun enforcement of a year-old state ordinance which prohibits signs within 10 feet of the curb of state highways in cities. Overhanging signs may not overhang the curb. Enforcement of this state law will prevent many minor auto accidents, and will help keep down insurance rates. o O’July 16 is the date to remember. That is the date of the sidewalk sale, when prices will jump backwards, and every buyer will be given a break if he purchases in Decatur. Dressed in old-fash-ioned clothes, Decatur merchants will line the sidewalks with real bargains. o—o>— Individuals with some spare cratic party might consider the training course which will be held here soon. The Democratic National Committee will award certificates of completion to those who take the course. Unemployment and inflation, together with higher state taxes, have led to a renewed interest in the party of the people. o o Farmers who suffered damage from the recent floods may get early payment of their corn and wheat acreage reserve payments under the soil bank program. Farmers needing the money to replant will be given the first priority. All reserve payments, emergency or not, should be made within the next 70 days. Farmers interested in finding out more about the soil bank should contact the ASC office in Decatur.

Mercer county, and Celina, Ohio, has recently adopted a joint dty>county board of health. Realizing that the health of a community depends on cooperation between county and city, the city council and county commissioners of Mercer county have formed a joint board. This will coordinate enforcement of local and state health regulations, and both will be able to have a better department because of the change. * —o— —o The reciprocal trade program, necessary for this country's survival in the cold war struggle for trade, has been renewed for three years. Every American should understand just what |his law means. Foreign countries must have American currency to buy —— obtain American money only by trading with the U. S. This trade must be twoway. The purpose of the reciprocal trade agreements is to increase American business through trade. ——-o o Richard L. Neuberger, Democratic senator from Oregon, has expressed concern about the fact that Alaska may legalize gambling as a source of income for state taxes. Gambling taxes merely tap the pockets of the most neurotic in order to fill government coffers, he points out. The taxation would not be based on the ability to pay. Many modern tax experts feel that the tax burden should rest upon those who gain the most benefits from the system of government. This is the theory of the graduated income tax.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED I Trouble has broken out afresh between old Nick Considine and Rathe! 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 Herefords. While two contending bulls were fighting, a young girl who stopped to watch fell off her panicked horse and landed in a chilly creek. Old Nick’s nephew. Slade Considine, .pulled her out and took her home to Nice'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 be 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. there’s a message for Slade when he arrives in Barrancas. The hotel owner, Beulah Denhart. tells Slade that Captain Catlin wants to see him. and turns her attention to Wynn Thomason." the rancher to whom she is engaged. . . . CHAPTER 6 “A/IAYBE I’ll have a chance to IVJ see Mrs. Kilgore’s beautiful granddaughter tonight.” Wynn said to Beulah Denhart. "The old lady’s all heated up over this Forest Reserve business. She wants all us ranchers in the Chupaderos — to meet to talk It over. Even sent word to old Nick Considine to come. She asked me. to let them meet at my place because she knew Nick wouldn't come to the Walking K.” The front door banged and Beulah got to her feet and went into the lobby. “Why, Bacho!” she said, surprise and some displeasure in her voice as she eyed the ragged, dirty figure. Behind her, through the open sitting - room door, -she heard Wynn Thomason’s boots hit the ■ floor. The man she had called Bacho Iboked at the girl through bleary eyes and tried to smile. "Wynn!” he said thickly. “I’m merely in search of my ol’ fr’en’, Wynn.” The girl looked at him with more pity than anger. Bacho (shortened from borracho, meaning drunkard) was what the West calls a remittance man. His high-born English family, embarrassed by the lavish crop of wild oats he insisted on sowing, had shipped him to America years ago to get rid of him. For a long time they had sent him a small monthly allowance to live on, but it had been Some years now since the checks had stopped coming, and Bacho had drifted from one job to another, finally ending up as Frenchy Quebedeaux’s sheepherder. He was a friendly, talkative, interesting man when sober, but his crazy love of liquor made him completely undependable. Most folks couldn't understand how the short-tempered, taciturn Frenchman had put up with him as long M he had.

cleaning this summer, with WPA laborers doing the work. z O — 0 Household Scrapbook i By ROBERTA LEE | o o .Naphtha If the naphtha does not appear to be very dirty after it has been used for cleaning purposes, filter it through a chamois skin. The dirt will stay in the skin, and the gasoline is ready for use again. Linoleum Rngs Make use of the leftover pieces of linoleum by making little rugs for the kitchen, breakfast nook, or porch. They can be painted and stippled in the desired colors. Deodorizer A very good deodorizer for the sick room can be made by boiling one pint of vinegar with one quart of myrrh. Funnel If there is no funnel at hand for pouring salt, pepper, or sugar try using an envelope, with the tip of its corner cut off for this purpose, i
"Wynn!” he repeated. "You seen Wynn?” The cowboy in the doorway behind Beulah swore. He crowded his way past the girl and grasped Bacho by the arm. "Bacho! You know you’ve got no business coming in here! Get out!” The little sheepherder grinned up at him foolishly. “My ol’ pal, Wynn! I says to myself—fin’ my fr’en’ Wynn. He’ll buy me a drink.” The cowboy’s thin, dark face flushed. “Wynn and I are pals!” Bacho confided to the girl. "W’e got secrets! I’ll tell you—”. Wynn Thomason’s grasp wasn’t gentle. He seized the ragged coat collar, yanked Bacho around, and half shoved, half carried him across the room. He swung the door open, then with his right fist clipped the little herder a blow behind the ear that sent him sprawling into the street. Coming down the stairway inside the hotel, Slade Considine Was just in time to see the finish. So too was Frenchy Quebedeaux, who had just made a round of the saloons in search of his sheepherder. Now he took one look at Bacho, saw him begin to stir, and knew he wasn’t badly hurt. Frenchy was big, and burly, and tough. He came charging into the hotel like a bull seeing red. Wynn Thomason, half-way across the room toward the desk, turned in surprise. “You skonk! You snake on the grass!” Frenchy bellowed. “You heetßacho when hee’s dronk — by gonies, I heet you! I theenk I like to keel you!” Frenchy rushed in. His big right arm clubbed Wynn in the stomach. Surprised by the complete suddenness of the attack, Wynn didn’t even try to dodge. He sat down, holding a hand over his stomach, his head bent low, while he gasped to get breath. Frenchy danced around him, brandishing his fists, bellowing French swear words, begging him to get up. The cowboy raised his head, rubbed his forehead with the back of his fist as if to clear the mist from his eyes. Then with the suddenness of a cat springing on a mouse, his right hand went for the gun at his hip. Slade Considine jumped forward and kicked at it just as he squeezed the trigger. The bullet nicked off a tip of horn from a mounted deer head over the fireplace. Then Slade tackled the big Frenchman from the rear as, with a squeal of rage, Frenchy lunged forward as if he intended to finish the fight in a rolling rough and tumble on the floor. Beulah Denhart picked up the sixgun and tucked .it into the pocket of her dress. “That’s enough, all of you!” she said crisply. “This hotel is no place for a brawl!” The big Frenchman stopped struggling in Slade Considine’s

grasp. He looked at the girl , and took off his hat. There was sudden contrition on his big, goodlooking face. "Pardon,- ma’moiselle! I am essorry I lose my tamper J” The girl smiled at him. "Sure, Frenchy! But don’t hold this against Wynn. He didn’t understand. He was afraid Bacho was bothering me.” Frenchy twisted his hat in his big hands. "Sure t’eeng, ma’moiselle! But you mus’ never be afraid of Bacho! When hee’s dronk hee’s crazy, hee’s foolish, but hee’s never bad! He won’t hurt you!” ~ ■ ■ “I know that, Frenchy,” the girl said quietly. She stopped, put an arm under Wynn Thomason's shoulder and helped him to his feet. "But I can't have him coming in here drunk, just the same.” Frenchy Quebedeaux stood for a moment watching her, in his eyes a kind of hungry longing. Then they moved to the ring on her finger, and it was as if a curtain had dropped over his face, shutting in all expression, as he turned away. "I take Bacho home now. I drop him in the horse trough an’ sober him op. Then I keep him home awhile!” "I’ll go with you," Slade Considine said. “I want to talk to you, Frenchy.” When they had gone Beulah turned to Wynn. "Get that look off of your face!” she said sharply. “You had it coming to you!” "That's a fine thing for you to say to the man you’re engaged to marry! I thought you’d at least stick by me!” The girl smiled almost bitterly. "I did. Didn’t you hear me lie to Frenchy? You don’t think for a « minute that I thought you hit Bacho to keep him from bothering me, do you?” She came closer, put her hands on his shoulders. “Wynn, what’s ailing you lately? You’re as grouchy as a bear. !. We used to have fun together—we used to talk—but now you never tell me anything any more. What was it Bacho started to —” He caught her hands off his shoulders, and shoved her away from him. “What the devil do you think there is to tell ? I get up at six, ride all day, come home, cook my supper and go to bed, day after day. I work like the devil, an’ I’m not even making enough money to get married!” The girl shrugged as she walked back round the desk. \ “Well, we sure sound married anyhow.” Her face was thoughtful as she weal back Into her little living room. Wynn wouldn’t forget this. Wynn was a regular Indian when it came to holding grudges. She wished Bacho hadn’t made that crack about telling her some of Wynn’s secrets. » (To Be Continued}
