Monroe county, where the university city of Bloomington is located, advertised their tax rates for the coming year this week. The lowest township rate in that county is $4.42, compared with $2.28 in Union township in Adams county. The highest Monroe county township rate is $6.49 in Polk township, compared with the highest township rate in Adams county of $4.45 in Wabash township. Bloomington’s rate is $8.23, compared with Decatur's $5.87-$5.91 rate. So Adams county is not such a bad place to live after all. Public interest in every phase of public life will<keep it that Way. —o—l will welcome the eighth district of the Indiana Federation of Clubs Thursday for their district meeting. This is the first meeting herb since 1954. Committees from several county women’s clubs will set up decorations, register those attending, - and make the guests feel at home. Mrs. Walter Haynes, durtrict president, will preside, state officers wiU attend, and •speak at the all-day meeting. Mrs. C.R. Graham, formerly of Decatur, is first vice-president, and will be arrfbng the speakers. ——o—- - resignation of Glen B. Custard as principal at Pleasant Mills is much regretted, as Mr. Custard has been a fine influence on education in St. Mary's township, and in the county as a whole. As superintendent of county schools and as principal he has worked in this county for eight years. A native of Wells county, he is now moving to an Allen county School. It is too bad that Myron Lehman, a teacher .at Pleasant Mills and in Adams county schools for many years, decided this fall to teach in Gary, as he was the only member of the staff at Pleasant Mills qualified for „ the principal’s job. The position has not yet been filled, and Mr. Custard will leave at the end of this week. A considerable increase in salary was the main attraction, we understand, as Mr. Custard liked Pleasant Mills very much, and enjoyed completely his association with _ the people of thecommunity.

Good weather for the first two home games this fall have swelled the crowd at the Yellow Jackets home games. This Friday they face a tough Portland team, and all the moral support they can muster in the stands will be greatly appreciated. Regardless of the outcome, those who attended the last two games enjoyed the two hours time they spent there, and talked with friends, many of whom they had not seen for some time. Football is a very popular fall sport. Enthusiasm for football is found among the Commodore fans as well as the Jacket fans, and within a few short years a fine Gold and Green team may be a reality along with the Purple anc Gold. o o Interest iff the proposal of selling the city-owned electric company to Indiana-Michigan is running high. The Decatur Daily Democrat is not going to take sides in the issue. However, if anyone has any questions concerning the real issues at stake in the sale, we will be glad to find out from the proper authorities the answer. The present city sale so that an official referenadministration has proposed the <ium can be held, and the city residents, who are the owners of company, can express-their wishes. Two arguments, one pro the other con, have nothing to do with the issues. The argument in favor at the sale that the city will immediately pay off the bonded indebtedness of the city is not true. The city cannot pay off the sewage bonds until Jan. 1,,1961; other bonds would incure a penalty if paid. On the other hand, the principal argument against the sale sc far is the fact that people will be thrown put of jobs here in Decatur. That is not an issue. Regardless of the outcome of the vote, the city will have to stop manufacturing power. Only a maintenance crew will be maintained after the construction of a substation to buy power from In-diana-Michigan. This is because of the expense of making power here. Our fuel costs are too high to make power as cheaply as we can buy it. The difference is

quite high.

CT! AFTER 1 LING STEWART went into the predawn blackness to harness the horse while his wife, Ann, remained at the breakfast table. The steadily burning candle softly illumined part of the long table and cast a little circle of light on either side, but the far corners of the room remained in shadow. As she sat there, Ann read in those -dim shadows a portent of things to be. Several days ago, William dine, a Wetherly merchant, had tried to cheat Ling out of part of a bale of furs that Ling had offered for sale. Doubtless, after following, his usual practice of asking hunters to help themselves at the whiskey barrel, Bodine had carried the bale of furs into a rear room, stolen five doer skins and three fox pelts and claimed they had never been present. Ling had reacted characteristically and knocked Bodine down. Day before yesterday, the sheriff had ridden up to inform Ling that Bodine had preferred charges of felonious assault and that he, Ling Stewart, would have to answer those charges in Denbury court. Ann had expected a felonious assault on the sheriff himself, and she had been enormously relieved when Ling merely listened amiably. When he told her that he intended to obey the summons, she was dizzy with astonishment. Now they were readying themselves for the trip into Denbury, some fifteen miles distant, and Ling’s day in court Ann opened a door that led Into an adjoining room, bent over the nearest of two small beds and whispered, “Jeffrey!* 1 The child in the far bed awakened first and called out, “Mama?" Ann sighed inwardly. Her husband was the most skillful hunter in Hobbs Creek, a Virginia community of hunters. Just past three years of age, baby Ling was wide awake at a sound that had failed even to disturb his older brother; he was his father reborn. Ann said softly, “Go back to sleep, Lingo." “Yes, Mama.” He lay down but not to sleep, tot the candle’s light showed his bright eyes fixed steadily on her. Ann whispered a second time, "Jeffrey!" Now he, too, was suddenly awake and alert, with no pause between sleep and wakefulness. Raiding Cherokees and renegade white men might occasionally prowl here, and even small children learned early that the difference between drowsy and instant wakening could mean the difference between dying and living. Far more gentle than his brother, resembling Ann as much as the younger boy resembled © 1958 by Jim kjeigaard, Reprint grai

proach a girl for a dance, anfi what kind of reply should she make? A.

Ling, he spoke softly, “Yes, Mama?” "Papa and I will be gone all day. It's much too early for you to get up, but when the time comes tell Gramp to fix breakfast eggs for you. Lingo and himself. Tell him to serve milk, cornbread and butter with it After breakfast he is to wash the dishes. Then he is to feed and milk the cows . . .” She recited, very precisely, the chores to be done, concluding with, "Then he is to go to bed and you must tuck Lingo in. Do you understand, darling?” He repeated exactly what she'd said and Ann listened patiently. When he finished, she said fondly, “That’s my darling! Go back to sleep now.” She stooped to kiss him and crossed to the other bed to kiss her younger son, urging him back to sleep. Then she tiptoed from the room and softly closed the door behind her. Lighting her way with the candle, she went into the bedroom she shared with Ling. She opened a trunk and took from it a gown, a beribboned bonnet and a coat that had been very smart ten years ago. Slipping out of her gingham housedress, Ann put on the gown and while she reveled in the luxury of silk and velvet, She gave silent thanks for a stubborn little whim that she had insisted on pursuing. She had gone nowhere in ten years and there had seemed no faint possibility that she would go anywhere, but it had given her soul a necessary balm to keep the best of the adolescent Ann's clothing for the woman she had become. Ruthlessly destroying one garment to piece out another, over the years she had watched the extensive wardrobe that her father had once provided shrink to two gowns, the coat, five bonnets and a scattered heap of remnants. She smoothed the gown, slipped into the coat, tilted the bonnet on her blue-black curls and created in her imagination a full-length mirror. Then the front door opened and Ling came in. Hastily Ann caught up the candle, returned to the other room and stifled a giggle. Ling was tall, lean and graceful, but now he was cjumsily gawking as he stared at her. ‘ “My gosh!” he blurted. “My gosh, Ann! You're pretty’s a yearlin’ doe on new spring grass!” “Do you like it?” she asked, smiling. Hts engaging grin flashed. “ ’Cept for one thing.” “And what is that?” “I’d best tote along a club to beat off them young Denbury bucks.” “Os course!” she teased. “You’ll heed one in each hand.” “Ready ?’’ “All Steady." inted by publisher.

Adams Central FFA Members In Contest Ten boys from the Adams Central FFA chapter are being entered in a land judging contest to be held in Wells county tomorrow. Upon the completion of the judging, the chapter will attend the district FFA meeting being held at Chester Center. The main feature of the evening will be a talk by Wayne Rothgeb of Fort Wayne, telling of his trip to Russia. Consider State Site For Scout Jamboree EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPD — State Auditor Roy Combs, president of the Indiana Lincoln Fouhf dation, announced late Tuesday .a 3,000-acre tract of land in Spencer County was being considered for the 1960 Boy Scout Jamboree expected to draw 50,000 boys. Combs said it was one of eight sites considered and said Evansville and Owensboro, Ky., would fill the requirement of a “metropolitan area.”

She hoped he couldn’t hear her sigh of relief when he came to her side without' even glancing at the firearms rack. He seldom went anywhere without a gun, even out to split wood in the barn, and she dreaded the possible consequences if he entered Denbury armed. The fact that he obviously intended to go unarmed made more complex to her a situation that was already bewildering. Ann sought the reason and presently found it. Ling was condescendingly tolerant at best, and scathingly contemptuous at worst, of anyone who submitted to restriction in any form. He considered the residents of Denbury and all other towns to be some rather low form of life which happened to look human. This life couldn’t possibly be human because, in Ling’s opinion, no man would ever relinquish a fraction of the freedom to be found in the wilderness for any security that could be had in town. Town-dwellers were his enemies and as such they might turn on him, but they were such puny creatures that he need not bother to go armed among them. Given provocation, Ling would attack anyone, including the judge of Denbury court, with his fists. But this time he wasn’t likely to kill anyone, and with that comforting thought Ann walked outside. The black carriage was only dimly seen in the dark until Ling turned a blanket aside. A lantern glowed from beneath it. “All right, honey. Get in," he said. She climbed into the seat, turning her face from the raw wind as she did so. When Ling got in on the other side and drew the blanket over them, the lantern's heat warmed her legs and feet. She looked wonderingly at her husband. He would never have thought of the lantern if he had been going alone. He had considered her comfort. Ling caught up the reins, the horse trotted forward and Ann meditated on her own part in this curious adventure. She had assented readily when he asked her to come with him, but she had wondered then, and wondered still, why he wanted her along. In the twenty-one years since his father brought him to Hobbs Creek, ting had visited no settlement larger than Wetherly. With four hundred-odd residents, it was the largest settlement in the county. In the woods he was master. But for all his braggadocio and superiority to townsmen he quailed because he must venture into a town he had never visited. She'd wondered why he wanted her along! Why, he'd rather face ten angry bears than 1 face the judge of Denbury court alone, she guessed. (To Be Continued j. Inc. Dist by Kitg Features Syndicate,
