W. Robert Fleming, Democratic candidate for congress from this district, will visit in Decatur this month to meet some of those who do not know him personally. A lawyer, Fleming is well-known here to members of the county bar association. He formerly was U.S. Commissioner, an important post in the Federal judicial system. His experience makes him Well qualified to represent us in Congress. His deep interest in schools, farm problems, and the small businessman is important to all of us in the Decatur area. o O Children today have the advantage of many sizes of bicycles so that they can learn the healthful fun of cycling at a younger age than their parents could. Motorists must be careful of these smaller children as they journey off 6u their adventures, but parents must continually emphasize the need for their children to ride bicycles safely. There is no worse tragedy than a young life snuffed out in a traffic accident, and parents must accept part of the responsibility as well as motorists to make sure accidents don' happen. o oA housing bill which would have stimulated building to lift production and employment and revive the American economy was defeated by six Republican votes in the House of Representatives during the last session of Congress. The veterans home loan program would have been strengthened, enabling those who fought to defend the United States to borrow money at low interest rates to build homes. The bill would also have aided colleges to build dormitories, classrooms, and scientific laboratories to help in the free world’s race against Communism. In Congress 185 Democrats supported the measure, 23 opposed it, while 66 Republicans favored, and 111 opposed it. A two-thirds vote was necessary to pass the bill under the suspension of rules, and it failed.by just six votes. ——o-.— Now that the brass of the Eisenhower administration have taken to the hustings, it sometimes is

difficult to tell whether a speech, is nonpolitical or not. An example of such was the "nonpolitical” speech made by secretary of agriculture Ezra Taft Benson to the Seattle, Wash., Rotary club. Following a diatribe against "dogooders," “self-servers" and "subversives” the descriptions of whom tended to suggest members of at least one other well-known political party, he closed with the statement that he was convinced that the fight was not just for farmers, but that businessmen and their organizations should be fully as politically active as any other organization. Many Democrats, who feel that they have worked very hard for a number of years to make the United States of America a better country, to strengthen it in every way, take offense when they are called names. Secretary Benson is not the first to do that. Vice-Presi-dent Nixon called all Democrats traitors and Communists. Yet these same men ask people who consider the,mselves generally Democrats to vote for Republican candidates. Both of the two great American parties, whether they be right or wrong on individual issues, earnestly believe they are working for the best interests of the American people. The people, in our Democratic society, must choose which path they wish to take. It is necessary to understand the great changes which have taken place in America, changes in the Availability of land, in industrialization, in communications and technical “ improvements, and the population explosion, in education, to fully appreciate the need for improvements in government. The old ways no longer apply. A system of laws which set up township schools, township Toads, township government, based on the idea of a unit so small that a man could get around it in a day. was fine for a walking, horse-riding society. It has little meaning in a mechanized society. Tax laws passed when property was the measure of wealth have no meaning in a society of corporate structure. Keep this in mind when you decide which party you generally favor.

The plant grew to an unusual 11 feet, four inches height. Poling stated that he picked three hampers of tomatoes off this one plant. He transplanted it to his yard and planted it deep, he stated.

WHIT fIAS HAPPENED I Ralph Campbell was one of.the Vir- ; finij ns that believed family traditions | InX sectional loyalties came first tn either war or peace. His older son. Macklyn. agreed with him and gave up a commission as colonel in the U. S. Army to serve the Confederacy. Ralph’s younger son. Colin iudge of the district of Denbury, was swayed between adherence to his father’s 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 acquaintanceship with two “poor whites." Ling and Ann Stewart, of the backwoods region, of Hobbs Creek. Under the circumstances the promise of diversion from his problems that Is presented by Ling’s invitation Io hunt for ramp nt Hobbs Creek Is alluring to Judge Campbell. However, he feels duty bound to visit . petulant Jeannie, and is rccaptivated --by heir beguiling charm before going to hunt with Ling. On his way to the Stewarts’ log cabin. Colin Is entranced by a lovely vacant house and visualizes buving it and living there with Jeannie At Ling's cabin Colin Is erected hv «nn her two small bovs and her father. Enos Pollard.; who Is in a state-of mental shock. . . CHAPTER 9 “PLEASE come into the house.” I Ann Stewart invited Colin Campbell. "Ling will be delighted to see you.” She stood aside and Colin entered a large room that was obviously the center of the house. One outer wall was given entirely to a huge stone fireplace. A long table flanked by wooden chairs dominated the center of the room, and against the far wall stood a Spacious couch covered with tanned deerskins. At one end of the couch Colin was amazed to see shelves crammed from floor to ceiling wi.th books. On the opposite end was a gun rack holding four rifles, with an empty space for a fifth. Colin lingered in front of the bookshelves. Plato’s Republic was . wedged between Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Macaulay’s History of England. He tried to keep surprise from his voice as he said, ‘-‘You have a fine library here.” "It is my father’s library,” Ann answered. “But I am the only one to read it now.” Colin was filled with curiosity. What were this beautiful young woman and her father doing here? What had happened to the mind that once studied Gibbon ahd Macaulay? How did she come to be married to an amiable woodsman who could neither read nor write? He would-like to know the answers to all these, but her tone of voice precluded questions. "I'm sorry Ling .isn’t here, Judge Campbell.” "Please call me Colin.” • "All right, Colin.” She spoke without a trace of self-conscious-ness. ‘‘l’m Ann.” “A proud and lovely name and most befitting.” , i *3 "Thank you!” she laughed. -“'Lirg’s gone hunting, as usual. But he should be here soon.” As though her words possessed

some magic wmen was able to I reach out to her wandering husband and bring him to her side, a moment later Ling entered the house. “Why, hello, Jedgef Mighty glad to see you here!” “Hello, Ling!” Colin's greeting was equally warm. "I thought I’d accept your invitation to do a little hunting at Hobbs Creek.” "Sure nough tickled you did! Them your hounds my kids is playin’ with?” ‘‘Yes, they are.” “Any good?” "As good as any deer hounds I know.” “We’ll try ’em,” Ling promised. In one hand he carried the rifle, that was missing from the rack and down his back dangled a turkey with its head shot off Blood still oozed from the mangled neck. When Ling laid his turkey on the table. Colin was watching Ann. He saw on her face revulsion and disgust, but he also saw resignation. Probably she had long since ceased trying to explain that turkeys with bloody heads had no place in the house, least of all on the dining table. But just then her father and little Lingo came in and all she said was, "Take the turkey outside and dress it. Dad, will you?” Enos caught up the turkey and Lingo remained at his side as they left. Ling replaced the rifle in the rack and turned to Colin. “Tell you what. Jedge. It’s a bit late in the day to go out huntin’ now. Spend the night here and we’ll go out at dawn in the mornin’. Meantime, you and I can go visit some of the folks on Hobbs Creek before dinner.” “That sounds fine, Ling, but I don’t want to put you people to all that trouble. I brought my camping gear with me, and a night out under the stars would be a real pleasure to me.” But Ling wouldn’t hear of it, and his invitation was cordially seconded by Ann. Soon the two men had started up the valley and into the woods on their way to the neighbors’, the free-strid-ing Ling shortening his step to suit Colin’s. At half a mile’s distance, they emerged into another clearing. “Darnley Hamlin’s place,” Ling explained as they walked toward the log house. “Bedloe an’ Tracey, his brothers, lives with him and his passel of young ’uns.” As they approached the house a young man ot about twenty came out to meet them. He was as tall as Ling but more heavily built. His hair was red and. like Ling, he was cleanshaven. He moved with the same easy woodsman's grace, and his grin was contagious. "Hi!” Ling called, and when they were near enough he said proudly, “Tracey Hamlin, I want you to meet Jedge Campbell.”

County Agent's Column o —o Protect Roses Gardeners can help prevent winter injury to their roses by taking a few precautions this fall. Purdue University horticulturists say that winter protection should be given roses once the plants become partly defoliated. It is generally assumed that protection is applied to keep plants warm. This conception is not true. The real purpose is to keep the soil and plant temperatures as uniform as possible when the ground is once frozen, thus preventing alternate freezing and thawing which accompany winter changes. The most practical protection for hybrid tea and floribunda roses is to hill soil up about the plants to a height of about 10 inches, and place a mulch of coarse straw, leaves or well - rotted, strawy manure over the soil. Ground or crushed corn cobs are a very suitable material for mulching purposes and should be more frequently used. Purdue horticulturists list these three methods of protection for climbing roses: Bring the canes together and wrap them with straw. This method is very effective. but somewhat unsightly. Remove the plant from the trellis or support and lay it down, then cover it with soil. After the soil is well frozen, add a layer of leaves or straw. Cover the entire plant with burlap while still intact to its support. o «■ —o 20 Years Ago Today o — : o Oct. 7. 1938 — Fred Milks and James Bain have returned to Decatur after attending the threeday session of the grand lodge of ! the Knights of Pythias at Muncie. ! Dr. and Mrs. G. J. Kohne and Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Zwick attended the meeting of the state medical i association at Indianapolis. The tmeperature dropped to 38 above zero here this morning, the coldest mark of the season. Some grocery prices today: sirloin steak. 23'6 cents per pound; bananas, five lbs. 25 cents: oranges, 15 cents per dozen; pork chops, 27 cents per pound.

“Right glad to know you Jedge.” Tracey s handshake was warm and,this eyes spoke their own welcome. “Come say howdy to the rest.” Colin met Darnley and Bedloe, Tracey’s older brothers. He was introduced to Charity. Darnley’s competent wife. He warmed to the six children who stared at him. ran into another room, peered around the door jamb and giggled. He accepted with pleasure a mug of hard cider. To his surprise, the talk soon turned to politics. He would have thought these men as isolated in their thinking as they were in their domain, but they were aware of all but the very latest developments in the increasingly bitter struggle between the North and the South. About most recent events, they questioned him keenly, phrasing their questions so as to elicit frem him an idea of his own opinions. Once they felt sure that he did not share the views of the planter aristocracy. they declared their own views outspokenly. “Do you keep slaves?” Darnley Hamlin had asked him. “My father has over a hundred at Quail Wings, our plantation. On my twenty-first gave me two as my personal slaves, two of the best he had. The next day i gave them their freedom and asked them if they would care to work for me. They gladly agreed and they are with me still.” “What did your father say to that?” Bedloe had put it bluntly. "He thought I’d lost my mind, and we’ve been arguipg about it ever since.” They were not only against the idea of slavery, believing a man should "do for hisself,” Colin discovered; they also had a regional pride which had been affronted by slave-owning lowlanders. “Nobody goin’ to ketch us fightin’ so them easterners can live like kings with all their slaves waitin’ on ’em," Darnley said. "Them easterners has been bossin* the whole state of Virginny long enough, grabbin’ all the money there is fer schools and roads and," slyly, “courthouses. We got to go clear to Wetherly to find a school and clear to the next county when one of us gits into a little ruckus with the law." He winked at Ling. Later Colin asked them, “Putting aside all your differences with the east, what would you do if worst came to worst and federal troops entered the state?” “1 reckon we’d fight right enough." Darnley answered, “or first thing you know they’d be takin' over Hobbs Creek.” As he left with Ling, it seemed to Colin that the opinions of the brothers Hamlin were more reasonable than those of his own father and brother.
