J. Dwight Peterson, a native of Decatur and a son of the late John S. Peterson and his widow, Mrs. Olive Peterson, has received further honors by having two photographs of himself in the current Indiana Alumni magazine. Mr. Peterson, president of City Securities in Indianapolis, is a former national president of Sigma Chi social fraternity, and his family included more members of that fraternity than any other attending the 100 year celebration of his chapter's founding at Indiana University this Fall. —o——o WANTED: Decatur busi nessmen or club with the foresight to realize that good horseshoe pits in this city could be a big sports and tourist attraction in the future. Local enthusiasts, led by James Johnson, Christian Franz and others, would like to see good local horseshoe courts. The group could then hold the state and regional matches, which draw hundreds of pitchers from seven or eight states in the midwest. The group needs a little capital to put in the courts, or some civic-minded workman who would pitch in and help. The city might even be convinced that the courts should be put in at Hanna-Nuttman park.

Congratulations to Miss Jeanne Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clark W. Smith and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith, for winning the Soybean Queen title. The audience more than appreciated the twirling exhibition given by Miss Smith. o o It has been suggested that if every school child would contribute 5 cents towards a fund to help rebuild the bombed out school in Clinton, Tenn., it would allow the children of that city to complete their school, and would at the aame time show to the world that the people of the United States do not condone the wild actions of the few headline makers which give this country a bad flame. Persons interested in such a campaign should contact their local newspaper. o o — W.—Robert Fleming. Democratic candidate for the U. S. congress from this district, has made thousands of friends in a fast-moving campaign over the entire district. He has the fourterm incumbent frightened for the first time in many years. If every Democrat goes to the polls on November 4, and every person who sincerely desires a change in Washington votes for Fleming, he will prove a fine public servant.

0 0 20 Years Ago Today O —'O Oct. 25, 1938 — Figures from the office of G. Remy Bierly, Adams county clerk, show 4,839 registers in the city Decatur, and increase ot 395 over the total registered in 1936. A public address system is one of the features of the new Decatur high school office, by which the principal may contact any or all of the rooms simultaneously. The Rev. J. J. Seimetz has returned from New York City, where he attended the eucharistic congress. Approximately 1,200 women from Adams, Allen, Wells and Kosciusko counties visited the Central Soya Co., Central Sugar Co. and Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc. A large barn on the Roy Price farm, southeast of Decatur, was completely destroyed by fire of undetermined origin, plus most of the farm equipment and a mow full of hay. Decatur firemen prevented flames from spreading to nearby buildings. Joy County Youths Sentenced In Theft Two of four Jay county youths arrested in Blackford county for stealing five gallons of gasoline were taken to the state penal farm Friday for their part in the theft. They were Russell Heniscey, 21, of Portland, and Roscoe Alton Smith, Jr., 18, of Dunkirk, who were e’ach fined S2O, and sentenced to 120 days at the state farm, with 90 days suspended. Donald Leroy Henry, 17, of Redkey, will be arraigned in juvenile court in Hartford City, and Larry J 0 Newkirk, 18, of Portland, is being held for further investigation. They stole the gas while on a joy ride in the county. Held In Connection With Theft Os Drugs PERU, Ind. (UPI) —Authorities said today a man held in connection with narcotics thefts from three doctors' offices has a long record of narcotics offenses. Elbert H. Smith, 56, McComb, Ohio, was brought here from Angola where a druggist’s suspicions led to his arrest. The druggist called police when Smith asked him for narcotics.

CHAPTER 22 4 CAPTAIN Colin Campbell s scanned an army directive on his desk. When he .lad finished t reading it, he yelled, "Sergeant < Maxwell!" i Jason Maxwell hobbled in. “Yes, sir?- j "Where are Thomas, Jonas, and , William Garrison, Tracey and ( Darnley Hamlin, and Privates ( Doyle, Sackett, Stewart, Teague, ( Tyler, Murdock and Mossmoss?” , •They haven’t been here for the past week.” “Are any others absent?” "Spencer, Jackson and Mullins.” “Listen to this notice.” To Captain CoZin Campbell: Birst Sergeant Arnold G. Bell will report to you July 11 and will be assigned by you as drill master. Col James W. Williams As Jason heard the order, his face fell But he said quietly, “I’ll order Spencer, Jackson and MuiUm in." "All of the men must be in tonight. You will assume command until I return this evening.” "Yes. air.” "Sergeant Maxwell, when I appointed you as non-commissioned officer, did I or did I not specify that you were to be First Sergeant?" "You did not, sir.” "An unforgivable omission,” Colin said coolly. ’I should have been more specific. But you are First Sergeant and. regardless of when Sergeant Bell joined the army, you have been longer with the Wetherly unit. Therefore, you are to continue as ranking sergeant.” “Yes, sir! Thank you, sir." Until he gave this order, Colin hadn’t been sure that he really commanded the Wetherly unit. Let his superiors send as many sergeants as they Wished to send; he would still give the orders in his own unit. He saddled and bridled Robin and headed up the road to Hobbs Creek for the first time since the Wetherly unit had assembled. Stopping at Campbel) Hill, Zack welcomed him: “It’s mighty good to see you!” “And you, Zack! How are things?” "Nothin’ wrong.” "Have you seen the recruits from Hobbs Creek?” "Yea They's all home now." "Will you saddle Pegasus and ride to the Hamlins, Garrisons and Murdocks? Tell the men that they must return to Wetherly at once. Tell them 1 said so.” He reserved an excuse to go to the Stewarts and catch a glimpse of Ann, he realized ruefully. Entering the bouse he was happily greeted by Watt’s wife, Hannah Sackett, who had elected to *tay here with Hope Tyler, “It’s

so good to see you again,” she i said. • “It’s wonderful to be here and 1 to see you, Hannah, but I can’t ' stay. I’ve come to ask all the men to go back to Wetherly.” She nodded. “They said they’d 1 go back when they were needed. Watt and Tom are both working ' their farms. Hope and the children have gone down with Tom for the day. I’ll ten them as soon as they come to this evening." “That won’t be soon enough. They must return tonight We’re getting another sergeant and absence might be considered desertion. The penalty can be severe.” > “I’ll get them right away.” "1 would appreciate it” Between them. Zack and Hannah carried the message to everyone except Wilton Doyle. Marvin Teague, Ling Stewart and Johnny Mossmoss. Colin stopped briefly at the Doyles and Teagues. As Robin trotted, toward the Stewart clearing, Colin realized he didn’t know where to find Johnny Mossmoss. Johnny made his home wherever he happened to be. Ling would know where he was. He felt a rising eagerness as he saw the Stewart cabin. The door opened and Ann stood framed to it She was so lovely it seemed to Colin that his heart stopped for a moment "Colin!” Her eyes sparkled with pleasure and surprise. He looked at her hungrily, glanced aside and felt his lips go dry. It was nearly six weeks since he’d seen hei. Now that he was with her again, the only words he wanted to say to her were words he must suppress. Finally he managed, "How have you been, Ann? You look wonderful.” “We re managing pretty well. And you? You look a little thin and tired.” "It’s been rather tedious so far, 1 miss the good mountain air.” He could not help adding, “1 miss a lot of things.” “Yes, 1 know,” Ann said softly. Then to her normal bright voice, "Won’t you come in?” Tve come for Ling, Ann. He has to go back to Wetherly. Is he here?” “He’s hunting. He’ll be along soon. Come to and wait for him.” “No, thank you—l must get back.” He dared not be alone with her. “Will you tel) Ling to report back by sundown and to bring Johnny Mossmoss if he can find him?” “Johnny's with Ling. Til tell him, of course." “Ann —" “Yes?” "Thanks." he said clumsily. •Thanks a lot.” He forced himself to turn away and mount Robin, get Robin into

a canter and keep his eyes 1 straight ahead. If he did not hurry, if he looked back, he would be unable to leave at all • • • It seemed to Colin that the rain had started tailing when the world began and would fall until the end. Half his men walked—they could not be said to bo marching—with empty rifles that would not fire because the priming pans were wet. None had cared to complain as long as Jason Maxwell, a clubfoot, not only kept pace but offered to help any who could not. In fact, save for two or three chronic malcontents, they had walked with spirit, happier than they had been since joining the army. After the long monotonous weeks at Wetherly, they were going to war. There bad been constant trouble at Wetherly, largely because the supplies that trickled tn were deficient tn quality and quantity. But the Hobbs Creek men had seen to It that there was always enough to eat. If they couldn’t hunt, they helped themselves to produce from local farms. Colin could never discover the culprits and when the farmers inevitably came raging to the banracks, they were never able to prove anything. Wetherly had been beset with rumors that the Yankees bad been routed at Bull Run, Washington bad been invaded, New York was besieged, England had entered the war on the Confederate side, and Illinois and Indiana had cast their lot with the Confederacy. No one had known what actually was happening. Life had gone on much as before, except that even Jason’s original group bad wearied of his drilling. The men bad spent more time at home than they had spent at the barracks, but all had rallied with whoops of joy when Colin had received orders to start his platoon marching. CoUn was to place himself tmder the command ot Colonel Harvey. Every man had received a twenty-four hour furlough and Colin had gone to Campbell Hill. There, near Ann Stewart, whom be would always adore but never possess, he had found a measure of peace and some ease for his aching heart. He had seen her only for a moment as they were leaving to go back to Wetherly but the look on her face must give substance to his dreams for weeks to come. "Colin glanced uneasily over his shoulder. Be sensed nervously that the men were anxious too. Something to be dreaded was here now . . ." The story reaches a dramatie climax toBMMTWHi-

' "I might," Colin said amiably. “It looks like rain." “Feels Uke It. too." Ling observed. Both men laughed. “How long afore we tangle with them 1 Yankees.

Perhaps another two daya" Ung said hopefully, "If you send the bent walkers on ahead, • we might be there and have some fightm* done afore mornin*." “Nothing doing!" OoUn declared. “We stay together." Ung said soberly, “An army sure slows a man up." There was a moment's thoughtful silence and Ung said, “Jedge—" “Yes?" “Looks to me," Ling said, “like we're fightin’ for a mudhole." Colin glanced sharply at bis companion. Ho knew Ung's moods, was sure that Ung wanted to confide m him, and for some reason bad changed bis mind. But whatever he wanted to say would Mme out in turn. Hie walking men began enthusiastically to sing a marching song by a “composer" among them. Bhinner up a hue oak, Skinner up a tree. IJ you can't ketch a wild oat, You can’t ketch me. Colin raised his voice to make himself heard above the clamor. "Smell out a good camp site for tonight will you, Ung?” “I’ll keep my smeller workin’." "Well have to get something to eat.” Ung said indifferently, **We will." “That's what 1 hke about you!” Colin scoffed. “You worry so!" Ung, who still seemed absorbed in bis own thoughts, grinned. Presently, almost as though he had known it would be there, he swerved to a dead stump tn aa oak grove, kicked the stump apart, caught up a hand full at dry wood, and in leas than a mlnjcte bad a fire startea. Clem Faraday swung his mule team into the grove, clambered pamfnily down from the seat, a art he end Me son unharnessed and picketed the mules.

Form Tractor, Auto Involved In Wreck An accident involving a farm tractor and an automobile occurred Friday at 5:40 p.m. nine miles south and one mile west of Decatur. Involved in the collision wire Thomas C. McKean, 13, route one, Berne, and Robert Keith Yoder, 22. Linn Grove. The accident occurred when the tractor driven by McKean attempted to turn into a drive-way at the Elmer C. Beer farm at the same time the auto driven by Yoder attempted to pass. The sheriffs department and the state police investigated the mishap and estimated damages of S3OO to the car and S6O to the tractor. Capt. Zebulon M. Pike, who discovered Pike’s Peak with a party of soldiers in 1806, never reached the summit of the mountain.

forehead as he pulled them off. Colin looked on with concern. “Bad, Clem?" "I'D make out, Cap’n." Clem winced when he peeled off nis socks and revealed feet that were swollen and blue. Colin knelt to examine them, but aside from bathing the feet in hot salt water, be didn’t know what to do. Clem needed a doctor's attention, and he would have it if they were able to find a doctor. Meanwhile be had to ride on the wagon because he could not walk. Colin cut up one ot the sprue blankets and as gently as possible bound the strips around Clem’s feet. “Hadn't you better let someone else handle the team tomorrow?" “1 can handle ’em. Captain." Colin knew a sudden fury. If Clem were home be would be all right. Because a conflict ot remote interests had resulted tn war, Clem had gone off with a group of men who called themselves soldiers and whose mission was to kill other men. Admiration presently stole Colin’s anger. It was painfid for Clem to move, and agony when ike walked, but he walked when necessary. His brain, or his heart, or his spirit—whatever mysterious force controlled his life and made him human —was stronger than pain. He, and the others, had Murage. As night fell, the tires leaped high and the good smell of roasting meat was in the air. His back against a tree, Colin ate his fill and found himself strangely contented. The rain stffl fell, but roaring fires kept the tittle group ot' men dry and comfortable. Tomorrow, Cotin thought, life might again be dreary, but tonight it was very good. He lost himself tn a dream of Ana. In the middle of the next morning, Me illusions were shockingly and permanently dispelled. The rain had subsided to a monotonous drizzle. Every tree and bush continued to drip water. The road they followed was not the one that led down the Connicon, but a rough trace that offered a more direct route over the hills. It was slimy with mud, and twice during the morning they had to stop and lay corduroytree trunks side by side— m Clem Faraday could drive Ms wagon through. Colin glanced uneasily over his shoulder, aa though there were something here that should not be. He sensed nervously that the men were anxibus too. There was no singing and tittle talking. Something to be dreaded was here now or had been here. Every man V han In.tJvTXJvl mvITK.

Arthur Godfrey Unhurt In Helicopter Crash LEESBURG, Va. (UPD-Arthur Godfrey today had no explanation of why his , helicopter crashed in landing at Leesburg Airport. The 55-year-old radio and television star walked away from the hellcipter uninjured Thursday. Asked about the damage, he said: ’’When you crack up a helicopter, it’s really cracked up.” The Civil Aeronautics Administration continued its investigation to determine the cause of the crash. Godfrey, who often uses helicopters, was landing at Leesburg after a tour of his nearby farm. Playing It Safe PATCHOGUE, N. Y. (UPI) - Although it was unlocked and contained only $35, burglars walked off with an 800-pound safe from the office on an electrical contractor.

. Colin turned to Ung, ’*What do you make of it?" “Nothin' yet, Jedge. But I don’t like the feel of things." “Been shoo tin* here’bouta,” Johnny Moesmose remarked. “How do you know?" “Look." Colin’s eyes followed Johnny’s pointing finger to a group of smooth-barked aspens, two ot which had unmistakably been nicked by bullets. The bullets might have been fired by hunters at game, but, it m, there had certainly been two buntera, for the nicks were twenty feet apart, and the game had. been running. The ram had hopelessly filled in any tracks that might have ottered a clue. Colin stopped and pondered. Imagination could play weird tricks, but it some real danger lurked on thia lonely, muddy trace it was tar better to find out than to lead his men into a possible ambush. Colin addressed the group. “Ling, Watt, and Tracey, you come with me. The rest et you give us a two-hundred-yard start and follow. Stay grouped and alert." “listen!" Ling commanded. The sound, the far-off, mournful bawling ot a cow, was repeated. Colin shivered. He had expected to be afraid ot Masting cannon and rattling rifles, but now he thought that be would never again tear anything as he feared the forlorn cry ot this leno cow. There was something threatening, ominous aijd dire about it. "That mw ain’t been milked," Watt Sackett said decisively. “Which means," Johnny Mossmoss remarked, “that there ain’t nobody about to milk her." When Colin spoke again he hoped he sounded very cool and confident, as a commander shotfld sound. “We’D follow my plan. Johnny, you come with us, too. The rest of you take cover if there’s shooting and we’ll fall back." They drew ahead of the rest, the four Hobbs Creek men and Colin, tai* aa stretched buckskin. He was afraid, knew it, and wished mightily that he bad never undertaken the vast responsibilry of leading men into battle. But much as he wanted to turn back, he knew that he must go ahead ; now.
