Heller, who rose from a reporter on the weekly Decatur Democrat to become its manager and owner. The following editorial is a revised edition of one written by the late Arthur R. Holthouse for the Centennial edition of July 27, 1936: “John H. Heller, manager of the Decatur Daily Democrat since its first issue, January 12, 1903, until 1950, joined Lew Ellingham on the Democrat Jan. 28, 1898 while it was still published as a weekly. He completed more than 59 years of continuous service on the Democrat, establishing an enviable record in Hoosier journalism as a successful publisher and aggressive editor. “In 1916 Mr. Heller purchased the Daily Democrat from Lew G. Ellingham, who became the publisher of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, and since that date continued as president and editor until 1950. “Throughout his career as an editor and citizen of Decatur, he has given active support and leadership to every worthy civic movement for the upbuilding of his community, personally and with his newspaper. He never said “no” to any constructive community assignment and Decatur has long enjoyed his able and willing cooperation in upbuilding civic projects, especially the industrial expansion of recent years which has resulted so profitably for Decatur and community. “He is widely known throughout the state, not only as an able newspaperman, but for his executive ability » and for his sound business judgment. For many years he served as president of the board of trustees of which governs the Indiana State Teachers College at Terre Haute and Ball State Teachers College at Muncie. He was a member of the board for 19 years. “Outside recognition came to him on January 5, 1934 he was appointed by the Comptroller of United States currency as thfe National Bank receiver to liquidate the national banks at Hartford City, Montpelier, Warren, and Farmland during the bank failures of the Great Depression. “Mr. Heller always took an active interest in politics, and the Democratic party had no more staunch and able worker than he. His policy was always to place his party above self, and his community, state and nation above party. He has served as a delegate to four national conventions and as an alternate to two.”

Ab cold weather closes car windows, remember that carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas, may be leaking into your car if faulty engine adjustment, faulty gaskets, defective exhaust systems, or clogged exhaust pipes are underneath the hood and chasis. A small ventilating window kept open while driving may well save your life. One part carbon monoxide in 1,700 parts air can cause nausea, drowsiness, headache, poor vision, faulty coordination, or delayed braking action. One part in 700 can be fatal. o o A movie showing restoration of heart muscles after the heart has been in a state of clinical death for 19 days has been produced and shown by the Soviet scientists at a recent meeting on scientific films. Soviet children have a respect for education unknown irt this country. Workers there know that they can be promoted only when they have increased their education. Workers constantly strive for self-improve-ment. This is certainly a trait that is a necessary component of bur society, and should be'encouraged here in America. We must realize that education docs not stop at age 16 or high school graduation, but is a constant precess of value to every member of society, and can be formalized far past the ordinary 12 grades.

Adams county farmers will have a new enemy to face next year. Giant foxtail, an annual grass which stands six or seven feet high, has invaded the state, and poses a new threat. One plant may produce 20,000 seeds, and infested beans are difficult to combine. Giant foxtail may spread by infected seed, by machinery used in infected fields, by straw or hay from infectec fields, and from patches in the fence- row or ditch bank. Good rotation, and heavy pasturing in late May and June will hold it in check, ——o o A carry-in dinner, open to anyone interested in meeting state Democratic candidates, will be held next Tuesday at the community center at 6:30 p.m. Jack A. Haymaker, candidate for state treasurer, John S. Gonas, Walter Myers, Jr., and our own G. Remy . Bierly, all three candidates for the appellate court (four to be elected), and Miss Alice C. Cavanaugh, candidate for clerk of the appellate supreme courts, will be present, and anxious to meet everyone there. Albert A. Stelnwcdel, candidate for auditor of state, will make a short speech. Local county candidates will also be introduced. If you feel it is your duty to meet the Democratic candidates, plan to be there. There is no charge for the carryin dinner, and coffee will be furt nished. ’■

CHAPTER 18 MACKLYN. now Brigadier General Macklyn Campbel) of the Confederate army, was back at Quail Wings after three weeks at Montgomery, conferring with Confederate leaders. Only this morning Toby, overseer of the stables at Quail Wings, had brought Colin Campbell a message scribbled in haste: “Must see you at once. Macklyn.” And Colin, mounted on Robin, was on his way to meet his brother. During the three weeks since war had broken out he hac fretted constantly. The more he thought of it, the more he was convinced that his idea of leading the mountain men was the only service he could perform in this war with any degree of satisfaction to anyone. As Colin rode through Wetherly he looked for any changes the war might have made in the life of the town. A farmer was driving a yoke of oxen up the road. Saddled horses twitched their tails or stamped their feet at various hitching posts. Children played. Jason Maxwell, the middle-aged clubfoot who had devoted his spare time to studying military campaigns, was again drilling awkward country youths in an empty lot. Men and women went about their small but all-import-ant tasks precisely as they went about them every day of their lives. In a republic, according to theory, the people made every decision: the people would decide in favor of or against war. Colin thought bitterly that with few exceptions nobpdy in Wetherly had any clear ideas about why North and South differed or why war should be. But the people he saw about him would not respond to the voice of reason. They would be lured by a rattling drum, an Inflammatory poster, an impassioned speaker. They would hate, but they would never really know why they hated. If reason prevailed, however, there would be no war. As he left Wetherly behind him, he reprimanded himself. Who really understood war 7 For the first time tn his life Colin went directly to the study at Quail Wings and entered without knocking. His father, as usual, sat behind the desk and as he looked at him, Colin hoped ne successfully concealed the shock he felt. He had known, of course, that his father was old, but for the first time he seemed old. “Are you ill, Father?" Colin blurted. “Not exactly," Macklyn answered for the old man. “He is upset because the army refused to accept him.” "You—you don’t mean he tried ©_l9oß by Jim Kjelgaard. Reprint graj

to join the army?" “And why not?” A little of his father’s old spirit flared. “Why shouldn't I serve the army in some capacity ? I've forgotten more about a thousand different things than some of these snippy young officers will ever know.” Macklyn’s fine dark eyes were gentle as they warned Colin to humor the old man. “I know just what you mean,” Colin assured his father. “Why, we har’ a recruiting officer visit Hobbs Creek the other day who knew as much about handling men as a six-week-old kitten.’’ His father looked grateful. Colin glanced at the star on Macklyn’s shoulder. “Congratulations, General Campbell,” he said. “What will your assignment be?” Macklyn smiled proudly. “I’m to be in charge of the army of upper Connicon." Then, looking stern, he added, "Now that war has come, you've forgotten all that nonsense about the futility of war and so on, 1 hope?” “1 haven't changed my views and I don’t consider them nonsense, but once the die is cast 1 know it is useless to discuss them further. Tell me, there’ll be conscription, I suppose?" His father gasped. “Colin! You would wait to be conscripted?” "Not for myself, Father. I was thinking of the men of Hobbs Creek and what their future will be.” “1 had tmmlnd stationing you at Dare’s Landing,” Macklyn said. “Tom Dare has been made colonel in charge of supplies for this area and he’ll need someone who knows the law and can cut through a mass of rules and regulations and legal details. It may seem odd to you to be put under his command i in view of your old relationship with Jeannie, but we must all forget personal considerations in this emergency.” The idea of doing Tom Dare’s paper work filled Colin with horror. “No, no!” he said. “Some older lawyer can do that better than L I have an idea of my own. But tell me first whether there will be conscription." "If the war lasts more than three or four months," Macklyn answered, "there will certainly be conscription. But we are hoping by a strong show of volunteer strength to demonstrate to the Northern leaders that ’it is useless to try to take the South by force of arms. Virginia will naturally be the crucial state.” “I see," Colin said. "In other words, either a man volunteers now and, by swelling the Confederate army, serves to warn the North by his mere presence in uniform, or there will be real hard fighting and the need for conscription.” lated by publisher.

! •Tea, that’s about it,” Mackiyn answered. "Here's my idea, then," Colin said. “My neighbors on Hobbs Creek are good men and they’d make the best fighters you ever saw, but they’re used to a lot of leeway and they’d never take orders from a conventional army officer.” “You mean they’re undisciplined," Mackiyn said. “The army would knock that out of them soon enough." “They have their own kind of discipline," Colin answered. "But they require someone who understands what it is to be their leader. I’ve been among them a good deal. I like them and respect them, and I think they feel the same way about me. I would like to recruit them and serve as their commanding officer. Put them under the wrong officer and they will desert within two hours." •Then they’re too unreliable." •They’re steady as a rock under the right circumstances. If they’re under my command, I'll answer for them." “Are you sure you can handle this?” Mackiyn asked, concern on his handsome face. Tm sure." “If you'll take the word of a useless old man,” Ralph Campbell put in, T think Colin has a splendid idea there.” "All right, Colin. You have a free hand and may expect a captain’s commission. Are you prepared to start right away V "Yes.” “Come into Denbury tomorrow. Your commission will be ready and you will be sworn in." “Where is the army headquarters in Denbury?" “We’ve taken over the inn. You know, by the way, that you’ll have to resign your Judicature." “Yes, I’ll do it tomorrow." "Do you have a training center in mind for your troops?" “Wetherly’s a central point and I should be able to recruit more men there. My men will be issued arms, uniforms, supplies and pay according to the standards of the Confederate army, of course ?’’ “Os course. I’ll arrange everything, don’t worry. And I'll have a barracks ready and waiting for you in Wetherly." •That’s all 1 need to know for the time being. I’ll get my horse and go home to start recruiting." “Yoh aren’t even going to stay overnight?" Mackiyn asked. "I know Betsie is eager to see you." “Give her my love and tell her I mustn’t waste a minute while a war’s on,” Colin teased.
