On December 1 Adolpho Ruiz Cortines will finish his six-year term as president of Mexico. Highway construction, schools, and economic development have all been part of president Cortines’ plans. There are still many problems to be faced by the Mexican people. But year by year they draw closer to the goal of a modern, industrialized economy with opportunity for all. o o ulation of the United States had secondary school education. Just 17 years before only one-fourth had this level. Now only nine per cent of adults have less than five years formal education. By 1970, one-tenth of the adult population will be college graduates, one-seventh of the white adult males. Think of the changes that will be necessary in entertainment, and government, when the large mass of Americans become thinking rather than following citizens. o o Commercial and industrial failures increased slightly this past week, from 262 to 268, but are less than the 278 reported a year ago. Personal income ran at June at the annual rate of $352 billion, above the 1957 average of $347.9 billion. For the first quarter of 1958 the consumer disposable income (income after taxes) is estimated at $305 billion, less than the $308.7 billion of the third quarter of 1957. While figures can be manipulated, the hard fact, is that many are still out of work. Business in Decatur is still fairly active. One of the major industries is reported about to make a considerable layoff, however, which may effect business the next quarter, depending on the length and severity of the layoff period.

A new industrial use for the soybean plant — using soybean stems collected after combining to make boards for structural uses — is now being developed at Purdue University, where scientists are at work to make farming more profitable. o o The county commissioners, after waiting nearly five months, have begun action to make one of the recommended repairs at the county home. We hope they will soon take action to correct the dietary deficiencies, reported by the state. There is no need in this day and age to torture those who are so unfortunate as to spend their last remaining days in the county farm. Common decency and respect should require us to keep the county home in a decent condition, according ,to modern standards. o o A friend of ours who travels many states in addition to Indiana mentions the fact that this year the entire state right-of-way, from one end of Indiana to the other, is plastered with Handley political signs. Not just on billboards, which is perfectly legitimate, but on state property, even on stop "signs, as well as state roadside areas. This, he points out, could hardly have been done without the full cooperation of the state highway department, whose workers are extremely dependent on the will of the governor, as some former employes from this county know only too well. It stems a little silly for the state to spend thousands of dollars putling up signs threatening the public with SIOO fines for depositing trash alongside our highways, when political signs are allowed to be placed by the highway department all over the same right of way.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Ralph, Campbel! was one ot the Virginians that believed family traditions and sectional loyalties came first (n either war or peace. His older son, Macklyn. agreed with him and gave up a commission as a colonel In the U. S. Arniy to serve the Confederacy Ralph's younger son. Colin the fudge of the district of Denbury, was swayed between adherence to his fat Iters wishes and his feeling of duty to the Union. Besides this problem. Colin is having trouble with his aristocratic fiancee, Jeannie Dare. She is not tolerant, of his courtesy to two poor whites' who struck up an acquaintanceship with him during a trial. Ling and Ann StPwart of the backwoods region of Hobbs Creek. Under the circumstances. the promise of diversion from his problems that is presented by Ling’s invitation to hunt fc. game at Hobbs Creek is alluring to Judge Campbell. However, he feels duty bound to visit petulant Jeannie. . . . CHAPTER 7 COLIN CAMPBELL hadn’t expected to live through the time while Jeannie Dare was gone to Baltimore for her final year at school, so Impatient was he for her return. Now she had been home for three months. Her nearness was enchanting, but his helplessness tn her presence was gone: and question lingered where none had ever been. Had she changed? He didn’t think so. She was as beautiful as ever, as charming—when she had her own way completely. He had been so busy, he thought ruefully, straightening out other people’s problems, that he had neglected self-knowledge. He had been as blindly infatuated as any schoolboy. She was young: life still had much to teach her. Marriage would give depth and understanding to their relationship. And yet—- “ And do you agree that when war comes, cotton will be a major factor?" Tom Dare concluded a lengthy discussion on the Southern economy. Colin started from his reverie of Jeannie to look at her father. •Tm sorry. I’m afraid I didn’t hear your question.” Tom grinned fleetingly. “It Isn’t important. Ah, here’s Jeannie!” She entered the. room, radiant in a simple white gown. As both men rose, Tom said, “I’ve work in the store. You young people remain here if you wish." When he had gone, Jeannie turned expectantly to Colin. In an instant, she was in his arms and he was lost, his lips on hors. He was in love, he told himself ns Jeannie gently drew away, and nothing else mattered. “Colin.” she said. “Colin darling, let’s stop quarreling. I know I’ve been silly, and you haven’t been very nice either. Let’s stop, both of us.” Colin srqiled into her eyes and then bent to kiss her cheek. “I have something here,” he said, drawing the little pasteboard box

Is it all right for our children to call them by their first names? A. It is best to consult your friends about /his. Otherwise, your children should be taught to address them as "Mr.” Q. If a girl is being married in a simple, informal ceremony, and she. is wearing a traveling dress, does she have a number of bridesmaids? A. In a ceremony such as this, the bride usually has only one attendant. her maid or matron-of-honor. Q. For what, besides buttering breads, can the small butter knives be used? A. These should be used only for butter, jelly, and cheese.

out of his pocket, “which 1 in-1 tended to convey the same message." . Jeannie opened the box as eagerly as a child. “Ooh, what a beauty! And how sweet of you!” She threw tier arms around his neck to bestow a, childish kiss of gratitude. But there was nothing childish or playful in Colin's response. Closer and closer he held her against himself, driven by a sudden agonizing longing. Neither could tell how long they had been locked m silent transport when Jeannie »came to her senses and struggled free. , Breathless and disheveled, she faced him from a safe distance. “I would like you to kiss me like that every day, every hour of every day. But not until we are married." "If we were —” Just now, at this moment, it seemed the answer to everything. “Jeannie, we’ve waited long enough." Her eyes sparkled as they met his. “Do you really mean it?” “1 really mean it it's just that—" “Just what, darling?” He was about to explain his differences with his father,, the tension at Quail Wings, but he was afraid to break the spell. He heard himself say instead, “Macklyn and Betsie are coming home to stay. There won't be room for all of us at Quail Wings. I must find a house for you and me.” “Then do!” she exclaimed. “Any old house anywhere! It doesn't matter Just so both of us are in it!" When Colin left and stepped into the outside darkness, he carried with him the longing that had possessed him earlier. But as he made his way home on Robin it slowdy ebbed away into the black night The wave-of ecstasy on which he had floated seemed of another age and time, with another person. He saw in imagination, as he had seen so many times in reality, a pouting and petulant Jeannie who was displeased with him. And the words, "Any old house anywhere! It doesn’t matter just so both of us are in It!” seemed completely incompatible with that vision. • • a As he walked briskly up the lonesome little valley Robin’s shod hooves left clear-cut tracks in two inches of new snow, and the cold wind that knifed down the valley honed his always high spirits to a razor edge. He wanted to run. and because Colin held him in he danced skittishly from side to side. Few trees grew In the valley, but the upper slopes on both sides were heavily forested, largely with hardwoods that had shed their leaves and stood gaunt and bare in the tlvind. Toward the valley's head, the
State Republicans Planning Oratory Many Wonder When Jenner Will Move INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — When will Bill Jenner get into the campaign? Many Republican leaders over the state have asked that question in recent days after a number of straw votes and plain words from Vice-President Richard M. Nixon indicated there is need to step up the senatorial bid of Governor Handley. The answer of Republican State Headquarters .has not been specific except that heavy oratory is expected from Sen. William E. Jenner during the last two weeks before' the election. Jenner is retiring voluntarily from the Senate and handpicked Handley months ago as his successor. State Chairman Robert W. Matthews is conducting the Jenner negotiations. Jenner speeches scheduled to date are in Evansville, • home town of Handley’s opponent. Mayor Vance Hartke; Fort Wayne, where the Democrats apparently have staged a startling comeback, and Bedford, Jenner’s home town. However, other oratorical big guns will be rolled up by the Republicans. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson will -address the South Bend Knife and Fork Club on Oct. 14, and Robert A. Taft Jr., son of the late senator, and Handley will speak at a Handley Day gathering in Elkhart the following day. This city is the home of the governor’s rival for the senatorial nomination. State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager. Jenner, in characteristic style, is expected to do the final hatchet work for the GOP. The early campaign offensive was in charge of Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker, whose oratory has been stilled for several days after he collapsed on the platform during a meeting at Muncie Tuesday night. He was said to have suffered from a stomach ailment. Two Illinois senators entered the Hoosier campaign Tuesday night. Republican Sen. Everett M. Dirksen spoke at Plymouth and Democratic Sen. Paul H. Douglas invaded LaPorte, the governor’s home city. While Democratic leaders re-
vivid foliage of a single great pine contrasted almost shockingly with the late autumn bleakness all about. • Colin halted to make sure that his rifle, the 58 Worthington carbine that had been custom-made for him by Justin Worthington himself, rode properly in its saddle scabbard. The three lean hounds that followed him halted with Colin and fixed steady eyes on their master. They wanted tc hunt and knew they had come tc the mountains to hunt, but as yet they had been given no permission to seek game. Colin slackened the reins and went on, keeping to the trace of which Ling Stewart had told him. Follow it, Ling had said, and he couldn’t miss Hobbs Creek. Then he need only ask the first person he saw where the Stewarts lived and Ling—Colin grinned as he remembered —would show him the jo-damdest best hunting he had ever seen. With his court calendar empty for the next five days and Jeannie on a shopping trip to Richmond. Colin was on his way to enjoy some of that hunting. He had some hard thinking tc do, too, he told himself. But he couldn’t do it yet; he couldn't force his They woulc come of themselves, as natural and obvious as the sunrise. Now, as they neared the head of the valley, it dwindled to a mere shallow ditch on the mountain’s slope. Then they left it entirely and broke out on the sum mit, a broad plateau that, except for occasional dips and rises, was as level as the fields .at Quail Wings. It was heavily forested, the massive tree trunks giving mutt evidence that the woodsman’s axe was all but unknown in this place The only trees felled were those that would have blocked the trace Deer tracks were everywhere and in places deer had so beaten and trampled the snow that 11 was as though a herd of cattle had passed. Crossing and crisscrossing were the plainly marked trails of bears, wolves, bobcats, foxes, turkeys, wild pigs that were doubtless feral offspring ol tame animals, and small game sc numerous that there were few stretches of snow in which some wild animal had not left the story of its passing. Colin’s interest heightened. He had avoided hunting in this section because, according to rumor in Denbury, the settlers were a hostile lot and had, in any case, already killed most of the wild game. But nowhere had Colin seen more evidence of wild creatures. He was so intent on tracks in the snow that they entered the clearing before he was aware of it Colin raised his head and his eyes widened in surprise at the sight before him .... (To Bo Continued}

joiced in the formidable showing of Hartke in Marion County, according to an Indianapolis Times straw poll, they worried about the poll of the Evansville Press giving Handley a slight lead in Vanderburgh County, Hartke’s home bailiwick. Hartke was ahead, 64 to 36 per cent, in'Marion County, but Handley was in front, 50.9 to 49.1 per cent, in Vanderburgh County. The latter returns were the first in the poll since three of Hartke’s city officials and five of his policemen were indicted by the county grand jury. Hartke’s weak showing was in contrast to that of Rep. Winfield K. Denton, who was ahead of his GOP opponent, 58.4 to 41.6 percent. In the contest for prosecutor, the Democratic nominee led, 74.4 to 25.6 per cent, over the GOP candidate.
