The Farm Bureau favors a vote for proposition No. 1 on the Nov. 25 corn ballot. The Farmer's Union favors proposition Nc. 2, With substantial changes to be made by Congress in the program to take away some of Sec. Benson’s arbitrary price-reducing powers. While neither proposition is satisfactory to the farmer, No. 1 will lower the price of corn far more than No. 2 will. O to Did you know that every cubic mile of sea water contains, roughly, about $93 million in gold at the present-day -prices? But it costs so much to extract that it has no real value to us today. A future ‘‘miner of the sea” may be lurking in one of our county high schools, hiding behind a book his dreams of the future. "Science, controlled firmly by

They are (11 Unusual bleeding or discharge: (2) A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere; (3) A sore that does not heal; (4) Change in bowel or bladder habits; (5* Hoarseness or cough; (6> Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing; (7) Change in a wart or mole. Remember that cancer can happen to you, and if your signal lasts two weeks, go to your doctor to learn what it is. One out of every two cancers can now be cured, but it’s up to you and your doctor to do it.

When the man is elderly, or is the father of a friend, or a clergyman, or an official of some kind. Q.

CHAPTER 1 “•HjOE LL STOP HERE,” Paul *» Rettig said, and dismounted from the laden wagon. He was ■ spindly man of forty, as tired now ot traveling as he had Deen impatient to Degin. He had a narrow face, and a lifetime ot Dad luck nad pinched ms Ups oermanently and cast sad lines into the corners ot nls eyes His wagon was patched, his clothes patched, also his lite, the way ne told It A blue bandana hung halfway out ot his rear pocket and he kept wiping ms face with tt and staring at the sky and the vast sweep ot the parched land that surrounded him. Rettig walked around a bit, scuffing the grass with his heeL He was in buffalo country on the north bank ot Mustang Creek tn north Texas, but ne didn't know that tor tie nad been tost these past three days. The last settlement nad been Camp Supply, out as soon as the tent and board buildings faded from Rettig’s view, his sense ot direction vanished. Yet he did not particularly care, tor he was a man who liked to strike out for himself, even though experience had taught him that -e lacked the talent to be successful at it The land around the creek was rolling, thickly grassed, windstirred now. And to Elizabeth Rettig, who remained in the wagon, it reminded her of the hair of a collie dog, orown after a summer's cooking, a bit ragged in spots ano eager for the winter rains that would bring on a thicker coat "This'll do for camping the night" Elizabeth Rettig said, “but we'll move on in the morning." She could -speak this way to him for she was his sister, not his wife. Behind ner, perched on the poorly baled load, sat three children, two girls and a gangly boy, all Impatient for their father's word that would free them to explore. Paul Rettig gave the Word, a wave of his hand; they Jumped down, whooping, racing through the grass. Rettig turned to the wagon and began to tug at the binding ropes, "This place suits me," he said stubbornly. “I’ll start building in the morning." r He wanted an argument, a chance to defend his decision, but she cheated him out of that with her silence. Instead she studied the sea ot grass.

Two Drivers Fined On Speeding Charges Four Others Slated To Appear In Court Two of six speeders arrested recently by the state police, appeared in justice of the peace court Monday night and received fines of $16.75. The remaining four are scheduled to appear at later dates. The two who paid fines are: Robert C. O'Brien, 35, Bluffton arrested November 14 on 13th street and charged with 42 miles per hour in a posted zone of 30 miles per hour, fined $16.75 after pleading guilty to the charge; Weldon L. Nussbaum, 28, Monroe, arrested on 13th street November 14 for driving 41 miles per hour, was fined $16.75. The drivers scheduled to appear are: Jerry F. Neadstine. 24, Monroe. arrested November 15 by the state police on U. S. 27 opproxamately IM; miles north of Decatur for driving 75 miles per hour. He is scheduled to appear November 22 at 4 o'clock; Forrest G. Railing. 34, Decatur, was arrested on 13th street November 14 by the state police and was charged with

i "We ought to be closer to a I town," she said., “I've seen nothing for two days." “Don’t want to see anything,” Paul Rettig said. “I’-ve seen too much as it is." He managed to cast a rope oft the load and dug around Cor ms ax. With it in his nands ne stood and stared at the woodless plain. “There'e no wood.” Elizabeth said. She was a small woman, chin high to most men, but tirm bodied and inclined to plumpness. Her nair was dark and pinstraight, worn tn twin Draids down ner back tor she nad little time to tuss with herself and put it up in a more stylish manner. She nad a round, pleasant face on the edge ot beauty, but only on the edge, tor ner eyes were too large and wide-spaced, and tier lips were too full. She was shapely, but strong, with solid wrists and forearms, the kind a man looked for when ne owned a hundred and ten acres of stumps and was considering Che responsibility ot a wife. At forty-three, Elizabeth’s mother had Deen tat and worn out, but Elizabeth was twenty-three and the rest was a long ways qff. She took each day as it came, lived it, then waited for the next. Paul Rettig paced out a dozen steps, cut a brief circle, then came back to the wagon. "I guess there’s no wood,’’ he said, as though he had just discovered this tact tor himself. He went around to the back ot the wagon and began to tear apart the tailgate. Elizabeth dismounted with a flurry ot skirts and walked' around to watch him. Rettig was swinging his ax with a frenzy, breaking the oak planks from the wrought iron hinges. When the tailgate lay splintered ip the grasg, Elizabeth said, “What holds the goods in the wagon now?" “Won’t need to hold anything anymore,” Paul Rettig said. "I'm going to build here." He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled f6r the children, and they came on the run. Their obedience to his commands always amazed her, who had to be mother to them. Perhaps, she decided, they felt a strong bond to him because he had an almost childish sense of responsibility. The boy, Thomas, was the oldest, nearly fourteen, and very sober-minded for his age. He was never one for talk, still he was never sullen, which made managing him easy.

driving 41 miles per hour. Railing will appear November 28 at 7 o’clock to the charge; Beatrice E., Vaughn, 19, Carlos, was arrested for driving 41 miles per hour on 13th street November 14. She will appear November 22 at 3 o’clock: John M. Kendrick, 17, Fort Wayne was arrested November 14 on 13th street for driving 42 miles per hour. He will appear November 29 at 3 o’clock. o Household Scrapbook J I By ROBERTA LEE o—.—.— o Jelly Glasses To prevent breakage of glasses when making jelly, put the glasses in a pan of hot water to keep them from craking. The pan should be a shallow one, and the water should be sufficient to cover the lower third of the glass. Painting Metal Before painting metal, wash the surface first with soap and water. This will make it much easier to apply the paint. Perspiration Perspiration stains c a n be removed from clothes by soaking the garments in a strong salt water solution before laundering.

"Chores,” Paul Rettig said to the boy, when he came up, and Tom took the zinc food chest from the wagon. Catherine was nine, a giggly nine, and as wild as a new colt. She liked to stamp her foot and cry when her own way was denied her', but Elizabeth handled her firmly and tolerated no nonsense. The youngest was Mary, who was six, that obedient age, the quiet age so quickly shed. Using the splintered tailgate, Paul Rettig built the fire while Elizabeth cooked the evening meal and watched the first gray shadows seep across the grass. “What do you see out there?" Paul Rettig asked. “You better put your mind to work before you burn the sowbelly.” “Paul, did you ever see so much open space?” “Can’t say’s I have," Rettig admitted. “Still, it’s not much different than what 1 imagined.” Tom Rettig came from the creek, carrying a bucket of water. "We going to stay here, Pa?” “I’ve decided so,” Paul Rettig said. “It’s a tine land." “Kinda tar from town, ain’t it, Pa?” Paul Rettig turned his head and stared at the boy. “The farm was good enough tor me; it’ll be good enough tor you.” “Where are we, Pa?’' This was Catherine’s question. She felt it was important to know exactly Where she was at all times. “It ain’t important, where we are," Paul Rettig said. "It only matters that we’re here. And here we’ll stay.” "Your father’s lost,” Elizabeth said quietly. This was her role, it seemed, to come behind her brother and turn down all the rough edges he left along the track of his life. Rettig’s wife nad done this up to the moment she died for he was a slap-dash man, so full of ideas that one crowded the other out before anything was ever completed. "I’m not lost,” Paul Rettig insisted. "A person’s tost when be don’t know where he is. 1 know where 1 am. I’m here.” He slapped the ground. "That make sense to you, Tom, Catherine?" "Sure, Pa.” Elizabeth sighed and turned the sowbelly. She supposed that it did make sense to the children for it was childish logic and she knew she should be used to it, but she wasn’t and never w aid be. (To Be Continued)
