A newly designed standardized 70-ton hopper car is now being built by several railroads, including the Pennsylvania. This car will be acceptable on most of the country’s railroads, since 31% of the owners are building them, and 65% are interested, including the Nickel Plate. o o Work progressed Tuesday on the revampment of the peace statue on the lawn of the court house. Friday, work started when the county commissioners asked highway employes to tear down part of the back of the monument, rather than just fill it in with gravel or dirt, as was suggested. The heavy limestone did not fall as anticipated by the workers, and a large part of the back was accidentally knocked off. Monday more workers from the highway department congregated and restored the damaged part. Tuesday, seven workers poured cement. It will be interesting to see what the final cost of altering the monument will be. Especially since the commissioners were advised to just fill in the trough, which has now been removed, with stone or dirt. The design of the entire statue has how been changed. o o Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, the great Minnesota liberal, will be keynote speaker at the four-day conference of 5,000 Christian education leaders of the United Church of Christ, formerly the Evangelical and Reformed and Congregational Christian churches. A prominent layman of this church. Sen. Humphrey will address a group who hopes to change Sunday School to give new life and vitality to this most vital of Protestant education and worship hours. Following his address at the conference, he will open the Democratic campaign in Indiana by addressing the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association at French Lick. Many Adams county persons will be present to hear this oration. We wish as many had been able to hear his keynote address at the education leaders conference. Miss Beulah Bertsch, a native of French township and member of the St. Luke’s church at Honduras, attended the meeting.

This weekend the young people of the Church of God will convene at Philadelphia, Pa., for the 21st Internatiopal Youth Fellowship Convention. More than 1,200 are expected to attend. An Indiana minister, the Rev. Alan Egly, of Anderson, is president. o o-— Taking sound political advice, President Eisenhower has reversed his original snub of the inventor of the A-sub, now a popular person in the U.S., Rear Admiral Hyman F. Rickover, and appointed him as his personal representative to welcome the Nautilus in its return. It’s a fine action, and it’s just too bad that it comes as a second thought after hurting the elder inventor’s feelings last week. Apparently Sherman Adams is so busy defending himself against influence peddling charges that he cannot guide the president as he used to. o o A seasonal decrease in wholesale food prices helped the housewife against last week. However, the overall wholesale price is still 3.3% higher than last year, Dunn & Bradstreet reports. Pan-Ameri-can Airlines reported a second•quarter profit of $1.7 million as compared with $3 million a year ago, bringing earnings down from 48.8 cents a share last year to 27.7 cents a share this year. Steel ingot production is up 4.4% over a week ago, but down 19.7% over a year ago, a bad sign. “Business failures are up 7% over a week ago, 9.4% over a year ago. The wholesale price index is down 5.2% over a year ago. o b Victory is in the air for the Democrats. Every meeting this year has been charged with enthusiasm. Local candidates are already hard at work. The Adams county organization shows a vigor unparalleled since the early ’3o's. Huge pictures of the state candidates, well-known to many Decaturites, will grace the windows of the Decatur Daily Democrat office and Democratic Party headquarters next door to Kane’s paint store one block south of the court house. All interested in working for the party of victory should contact party chairman Dr. Harry H. Hebble right away. It could mean a job after the election.

CHAPTER 23 “TV 7HO do you think drove the W longhorn to the Considine pasture?" Martha asked Jim Ned I Wheeler, her voice tight and! (trained. The o1 d cowman squinted I through a thick haze of tobacco smoke as his eyes scanned the distant ridges. “There’s several schools of thought on that,” he replied. “Wynn says it’s Slade Considine —to keep us so busy fighting among ourselves that we won’t have time to notice the Forest Service is moving in on us.” “That sounds plain crazy to me,” Martha said stoutly. But she had a lot of faith in Jim Ned’s judgment, and the worry in her heart tightened while she waited for his answer. “Maybe.” he agreed placidly, his face as noncommittal as the face of a wooden Indian. “I think we will take a little jaunt over to the Escabrosa before we ride out the rest of this country.” He neck-reined his pony sharply to the right and Martha urged : the bay up alongside. “Who does the Escabrosa belong to?” she asked. “Why, 1 reckon Slade Considine would say it belongs to the Forest Service. It is a long narrow strip of gosh-awfu! rough country that lies most of the way between the Walking K and thp 143, with Escabrosa Creek box running about through the middle of it. Most of it ain’t much good, but there’s some fine vega up toward the head that we call the Valle Medio. I guess it’s a good thing it’s there between us or we might have come to gun-slinging with Considine’s outfit years ago. As it is there isn’t any way to get into the canyon nor across it without you go way down through T Anchor land. So we always let the Thomasons have the, vega.” “Do you suppose some of the bulls might have drifted up there T‘ Jim Ned’s eyes stopped searching the horizon to give her a quick, sharp look. “Might be too bad for them if they have," he said dryly. “Wynn claims it has got so full of wild larkspur that it isn't safe to run any livestock up there any more. I wouldn’t know about that. I.haven’t been up there since Jeff Thomason died—l guess that has been ten years anyhow. He used to have a cabin up there and sometimes I went hunting with him.” As they rode, his voice went on describing the lay of the country, explaining the boundaries of each of the big ranches, but now Martha wa? not listening Fro*.

TH® MBCATOL DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Modern £t/quette | By ROBERTA LEE o- — Q. When are “informals” properly used in correspondence? A. The “informal” is a foldover card, and may be'used for any short note —for sending and replying to invitations, for enclosing with a gift, and so on. This type of card is not proper, however, as a letter of condolence. Q. If a knife has not been used during a meal, should it be picked up at the end of the meal and placed with the fork across the plate so Wat it will be taken out when the plate is removed? A. No; it should remain where it is on the table. Q. Is it really necessary for a hostess to provide new cards for her guests at a bridge party? A. This is usually advisable. She may use old cards only if they Q. Don’t you thing it rather rude and ill-bred for a bride to wait Until she returns fro ma month's honeymoon —to —acknowledge—her wedding gifts? A. Yes. These gifts should be acknowledged the day received, while those received at the last moment can be acknowledged while she is away.

| where she had tried to shut them I ' away, she drew out all her mem- ; ories of Slade Considine and went over them one by one. She' had : never known anyone quite like I him. She nad tried not to think ' about him —or at least to think about him only with complete inf difference when she learned tie was the nephew of her grandmother’s old enemy. Jim Ned saw that the girl was lost in some world of her own and fell silent. Even when they finally reached Escabrosa Creek, and the bay fell behind on the narrow trail, she roused only momentarily from her reverie. A half mile up the canyon Jim Ned stopped ostensibly to give his horse a breathing spell, for the climb was steep, but his face was sober now and thoughtful as tip looked at the girl. Martha jerked herself back to reality. She leoked with awe at the towering cliffs that flanked either side of the swift-rushing little stream, and shivered a little as a light breeze cut through her thin cotton shirt “Is this the Escabrosa?” she asked. Jim Ned nodded without looking up from his scrutiny of the hard-packed trail. Now suddenly he swung down from the saddle, and picked up a long, slim rod of iron from beside the trail. Martha saw the grave lines in his face deepen, and knew that he was worried. “Jim Ned, I thought you said Wynn wasn't using - the Valle any more. The trail looks like it has been travelled a lot lately. Does it go anywhere else?" The old foreman shook his head. “I noticed that, "too.” he said grimly. He came back and stood by Hie girl’s horse. “Martha, this is mighty rough country, and I may have some hard riding ahead of me. I’m afraid you will be in the way. Would ybu mind going back by yourself?” i Martha wasn’t fooled. She knew he was not riding up to the Valle to look for stray bulls. But she i knew, too. how inadequate her > own riding ability was if they i should really get in a tight spot > She smiled and tried to hide : her disappointment, “Os course, I t will go back if you want me to,* t she agreed quietly. “But I would i like to go on—if I can help you. i I’m not afraid." i Jim Ned smiled. “No," he said > kindly. "You wouldn’t be afraid. 5 But you better go on back. Sure you can find your way?” t "I’ll be all right,” Martha said. ■ "Don’t worry about me." t But Jim Ned had seen the / doubt in her eyes. "Better yet—/.suppose you wait for me and we ~ ww' finish our ride this afternoon.

Britain Faces New Election In October Conservatives Will Call Vote While Popular LONDON (UPD—General election talk is in the air in Britain. The Labor opposition is becoming more and more convinced Prime Minister Harold Macmillan will pull a “snap” election in the fall—probably early in October. Macmillan is riding high on a crest of popularity. His personal prestige is at its peak. The Laborites believe he will try to cash in by sending the nation to the polls. The result, they fear, would be another victory for Macmillan’s ruling Conservatives. The Prime Minister has done nothing to back the general election scuttlebut. On the contrary, he has said repeatedly he is not even thinking of elections at the moment. Aides say he would not consider them before October of 1959—0 r May of 1959 at the very earliest. Preparing For Something But Labor Party Secretary Morgan Phillips refuses to take the government’s denials at their face valtle. Labor Party headquarters has been . warned the Conservatives are reserving public halls and billboards throughout the country for mid-September. Labor leaders claim Macmillan already has recorded “a roll call for victory, 1958” message for distribution throughout the nation’s constituencies. Conservative spokesmen do not deny the preparations. They claim they are being made for a big party membership drive scheduled to get underway Sept. 18. But the Laborites believe Mac- ' millan will spring a general elecitiqn bombshell announcement at i at. the Conservative Party’s an- | nual congress opening at Blacks pool on Oct. 9. I . It is generally agreed the po-, llitical dice all are loaded in Mac- | millan’s favor if he does appeal to the country in the near future. From Bad to Good When Macmillan took over from ailing Sir Anthony Eden early in i 1957 after the Suez debacle, the Conservative Party’s fortunes had

You go down this trail about a half-mile —keep your eye out for an old dim trail turning off to the right. Follow that until you get over the next ridge, then wait for me some place on the sunny hillside. It will be warm there and out of the wind. I shouldn't be gone more than an hour or two. We’ll eat our lunch there, and then ride out these pther .hills this, afternoon. How's that ?” ■■Fine." He untied the slicker from the back of her saddle. “I’m going to roll this branding iron up in here. It will be In my way if I do much brush popping I think Rachel might like to see it.” • • • Jim Ned tightened his cinch, then rolled a smoke, taking his time about it until Martha was out of sight over the ridge. At the turn of the canyon she waved I back at him. then let her horse 1 break into a jogging downhill trot. Jim Ned stepped into the saddle, then he re-adjusted the gun at his hip forward a little, for easier, quicker drawing. The butt of the gun felt awkward under his hand. He knew what he was likely heading into as he reined his horse .up the trail to the Valle Medio, but there was no fear in his heart, only a quiet determination. The long-standing quarrel between Nick Considine and Rachel Kilgore had been a foolish and bitter one. but at least it had been honest between two honorable people. The trouble in the Chupaderos rtow was trouble of a different sort Meanness, trickery and hatred had somehow crept into what should have been a fair and open struggle between stubborn-headed livestock owners and a possibly over-zealous plan of government. Jim Ned had thought all along that Mrs. Kilgores over-hasty stand against the Forest Service was wrong and he had told her so, but his loyalty to the cholerictempered old lady went all the way. Right or wrong he had been ready to carry out her orders, confident that her good sense and honesty would eventually swing her into the right trail. Today he wasn’t carrying out her orders. If she had been here he knew she would have forbade his going up this trail alone—but just the same it was a thing he had to do. What a fix! "He tried to throw himself out of the saddle at the same time he pressed the trigger, but the lasso rope settled over his head . . The i Swtry oontmuea tomorrow.

plummeted to rock bottom. Macmillan was regarded as only a stop-gap premier at best. An economic crisis in the fall of 1957 brought Britain to the verge of bankruptcy and resulted in a series of by-election disasters for the Conservatives. But in recent months the situation has changed abruptly. Recession fears are fading. The nation's finances are back on the rails again. The bank rate—upped to a near-record seven per cent during the crisis—is back to four-and-a-half per cent and may be slashed still further. Macmillan’s personal popularity was booted sky-high by his efforts to bring about a summit meeting with the Russians and by Britain's military intervention in Jordan. Recent straw polls have put the Conservatves comfortably in the lead.

Feeder Calf Sales To Be During Fall Farmer-Operated, Auctions In South Ten farmer-operated native feeder calf auctions and six native feeder pig auctions are to be held this fall, according to Russell Brower, Purdue University animal scientist. A total of 8,400 calves and yearlings and 7,500 pigs will be offered for sale. Brower points out that feeder auctions are one of the most efficient methods of getting feeder livestock from the grass lands of southern Indiana to the feed lot. Auctions save time and assure fairprices. They also offer incentives for a producer of feeder stock to follow recommended management practices. Dates and locations of the auctions for feeder, cattle: September 16 — Greensburg: Sept. 18—-Linton; Sept. 23—Springville; Sept. 25 — Linton; Sept. 26 — Vincennes; Sept. 30 — Springville; Oct. 2 — Linton; Oct. 7— Springville; Oct. 14 — Springville; and Oct. 17 — Vincennes.
