Christmas parties are at hand, and in fact many are already over. Most of the Adams county parties will be sane affairs, and words of caution are not needed. o o 3 In the South American country of Colombia, 60% of all children under 12 suffer from malnutrition. Colombia is one of 13 countries whose needy can be fed through contributions to the CARE food crusade, New York 16, N, Y. —o-*~ o Did you know that mice are important to farmers? Not on the farm, but in the laboratory. Mice are the smallest mammals with the shortest life cycle that can be used for genetic research. Animals such as hogs, sheep and cattle can be improved on the basis of research done with mice. o o Township trustee William L. Linn received more than a dozen pairs of children’s boots last week in response to his plea Tuesday for old, serviceable ones. They will be distributed to those children in the Decatur area (Washington township) who need them. Mr. Linn thanks all those wfao have brought them in, gnd will be glad to distribute any others that are brought to him. —< o —o_ We can expect fewer quiz shows ‘ and even more westerns next year on TV. It is interesting to note, however, that the quality of shows has not always improved. Many of the old movies being SfaoWflL to the “captive” audience of home living rooms are the same ones that were banned from showings in local movie houses 10 and 20 years ago. Quality should be improved in TV shows ... as well as quantity. Certainly the I moral quality of TV films and • programs should be as closely ; watched as those in motion pic- : ture theaters.

Two more Decatur businesses have moved into the main street section recently. Teen Togs, formerly located on Madison street, moved Sunday into the former Goodyear building on Second street. Mrs. Bessie Teeple and Mrs. Jackie Miller manage the store which specializes in clothing for teen agers. The Adams County Credit Union has also moved from its location On Madison street to the office formerly occupied by attorney Severin H. Schurger over Kent Realty on Second street across from the court bouse. o-—o Housewives may soon be able to cook the evening meal without even taking the fdod from the package. A new wrapping material that is completely digestable and dissolves as the contents of the package are cooked is now being tested. We can look forward io a day when pvives will go on a week's vacation, putting the meat and vegetables in the freezer in correct rotation, and an automatic belt will dump them into cooking containers, automatic stoves will cook them as the packages dissolve, and husbands will come home to hot meals each night prepared auto•fnatically! o o►— It could be that we start training automobile drivers too late. Instead of starting in high school, when the driver already has his or her hands on a high-powered car, why not start with the tiny tots of kindergarten age? Teach them traffic Signals in grade school gyms on tricycles. Later on, a bicycle program, strictly enforced by the city police and sheriff’s office, and most of all by parents and public opinion, would continue safety work. Unsafe drivers would be discovered long before they jumped in behind an uncontrollable 300 horse power. Accidents could easily be reduced.

WHAT HAS HAFFENEB When Paul Rettig's wife died, he bad three small children. Knowing Paul s wanderlust and worried over wlgit might happen to the children, his young sister Elizabeth went along on Paul's haphazard trek by covered wagon from .Illinois into the Southwest. ’ One day In hostile Indian country in North Texas, Elizabeth realises . they are lost. Paul, rather than admit this, announces that they have arrived at his chosen spot Within a week he completes a sod hut there. A cavalry unit led by Lieut. Harry Butler comes upon it—to Butler's delight. for he had become Elizabeth s admirer when the wagon paused at Camp Supply. Then Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett become passers-by. They warn Paul that his new home is smack in the dangerous path of a buffalo run., but Paul obstinately Chooses not to believe them. After the two men leave, Paul sets out alone for Adobe Walls to replenish the wood supply. At dusk, winds and rain drive him to the ground for shelter. Then, seeing buffalo stampeding across the prairie toward him. Paul races away till he drops dead of exhaustion. Meanwhile, seeing the storm brewing. Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett turn back to the Rettigs: sod hut. It is blown down by the cyclonic winds, but Bat and Pat and Elizabeth and the children survive, with no worse Injury than Elizabeth's broken arm. The decisive help of Bat and Pat is not appreciated by young Tom Rettig. When he realizes his father Is dead. Tom is unreasonably angry at Masterson for not finding and rescuing Paul Rettig. Masterson and Garrett are relieved of responsibility for the little group when Lieut. Finley Burkhauser’s cavalry patrol comes along and takes Elizabeth and the children back to Camp Supply. While Elizabeth recuperates in the army hospital, the children are cared for by Mobeetie Jake and his wife. White Bird. CHAPTER 12 Elizabeth looked at Tom, working the long blade of his knife across an Arkansas stone. "Aren't you speaking to me, Tom?" "Howdy," he said and did not look up. "When we leavin’?" "When Mr. Masterson gets back,” Elizabeth said. "Or the cavalry patrol who went dot to see if they could find a trace of your father." ‘They won’t find nothin’,” Tom said flatly. "Now you don’t know anything of the kind!” Elizabeth said firmly. “Tom, you’ve got to stop this brooding.” He went on working the knife across the stone and this irritated her beyond reason. She sighed. “What am I going to do with a boy like that?” She asked this of Mobeetie Jake. “Give him his head,” Jake saiij. "He’s got it in for Masterson, that’s for certain. Let Masterson handle it any way he sees fit” He looked at the boy and smiled. “Kind of itchin’ to be a man, ain’t ye? I was the same way when I was your age. Couldn’t wait until I could whup my old man. Kept tryin’, too, and one day I done it Thirteen at the time. Took a singletree to him. Heard later that I dang near killed him; I wasn’t sorry. Nosiree, not one bit This was all bufflo country when I saw it the first time. Had to kick ’em out of the way to make a place for me to sit down. But she was my meat, by Johnny, and I liked livin’ with the hair on. I’ve run in my share of the tough ones, and I’ve been backed down a few times, too. It’s a give and take World, sonny, and a man's liable to bleed a little both ways.” ~ "Just what did you tell Lieutenant Burkhauser when I was in

No articles will be j published without signature of r the author. I o o Good Fellows Plea The pop corn sales on the Santa Claus train was a great success and the Good Fellows wishes to thank everyone for the support of this project. But the echo of the Good Fellows club now is, "Help Us Help Othprs Have a Meriy Christmas." Many names have been submitted to Mrs. Frank Lybarger, general chairman, for investigation. If you know that any one may be missed with a remembrance on Christmas unless some one can help, please send the name to her or call 3-2080. All names are discarded at the end so no one ever knows who may have been helped in prior years. We all know unfortunate circumstances arise but no one should be denied a good Christmas dinner. Names must be turned in before December 18 in order to allow the club to purchase food as it is purchased in quantities and must be ordered early. Perhaps you have some good toys which your children are no longer using but would help brighten the day for some other youngster. If you do, won’t you please call some member of the Good Fellows club or take the same to the fire station? No matter how small or large you may place your monetary contribution in one of the boxes at the Democrat, First State Bank, i i or Holthouse Drug Co., or mail to I , the treasurer, Rosemary Spangler.

the hospital?" Elizabeth asked. “In want a straight answer from you.’s Tom!" « “I wouldn’t lie to you,” he said, s “I toldi him that Masterson and 1 Garrett] didn’t even try to find pa 1 when the storm cut loose. They ,waa morp interested in you be- < ’cause you wear skirts.” 1 "Why, Tom Rettig!” She was 1 genuinely shocked and her face i took on color. I "Well it’s so. Pa always said so.” With an effort she kept from, slapping him; she was angry. She took a deep breath. “Tom, that isn’t the reason they stayed and you know it.” She touched bun on the shoulder and he stayed stiff and unbending beneath her hand. “Tom, we've got to forget and go on living out our own lives. We'll go back to Mustang Creek, down where the cottonwoods grow and we’ll build a new place. You and I and your sisters. Can I count on you to be the man in your father's place?” He looked at her then, steadily, and for a long moment ‘Til go,” he said. “I’ll go because 1 ain't big enough to do anything else. But one of these days I’ll be big enough to do as I please. When that day comes, I’m goin’, and you won’t stop me.” Mobeetie Jake frowned and said, "Son, that’s a lot of big talk from such a little man. You ain’t heavy enough for such talk." "We’ll see," Tom Rettig snapped and stepped to the door. "Where are you going?” Elizabeth asked. “Out! Any fool can see that!" He slammed the door and Elizabeth moved to follow him, but Mobeetie Jake put out his hand and stopped her. “Let the boy go. Let him run it out of his system. Better than beatin’ it out of him.” “But what if he don’t run it out ?” Mobeetie 1 Jake scratched his whiskers. "Then the beatin’ wouldn't have made the difference. It just makes a good boy sullen and a bad boy worse.” • • • Elizabeth took little pleasure in the knowledge that she would have to wait at least ten days at Camp Supply, until Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett returned. Tom Rettig spent his time absorbing Mobeetie Jake's wealth of lore, both Indian and plains-craft. Elizabeth had a free run of the post, and to her relief, the tobac-co-chewing man finally departed; he had called three times at Jake’s adobe, and had the door slanuned in his face. His name was Justin Allen and he kept insisting that he would do right by any pretty little gal who wanted to be his wife. On the fifth day, Lieutenant Harry Butler returned with his patrol; when he saw Elizabeth he stared, then turned the detail oveF to his sergeant and ran to her. Before she could stop him, he lifted her off her feet, whirled her about, then kissed her before putting her down. She agreed to have supper with him, to tell him everything that had happened. Another patrol was making up and Mobeetie Jake gathered his

gear, Intending to scout the mission. Tom Rettig wanted to go along. Elizabeth demanded that ha stay home, and when Tom sassed her, she took a strap to him, but he went anyway. She was in a depressed frame of mind when she walked across the parade ground to Harry Butler’s quarters, and Butler, being a sensitive man, held to his silence until she wanted to talk. Elizabeth said, “Harry, I’m glad you're back. Really glad.” “Are you?” He smiled. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked across the parade and saw you standing there.” He reached across the table and took her hand. “Maybe I can help now. I want to, Elizabeth.” “I worry about the boy,” she said. Harry Butler stroked his mustache. "Ah, that wasn't exactly what I meant.” “He needs a man’s hand,” she said. “A boy can take punishment from a man when it would be intolerable from a woman.” “What do you want me to do, Elizabeth? Be a father to him? I’m not very good with words but I’ll try to make myself understood. Tom is not your son. I know, with his father dead, the responsibility of caring for the girls and him is yours, but a man would think twice before he accepted it I’m an army man, and I’ll stay army: I like it As I see it, he’ll be old enough to join next year, as a bugler. My advice is to let him join, and let the Army have the responsibility of straightening him out” “Harry, I don’t want him to be in the army.” “Is there something wrong With it?” She pressed her hand against her cheek. "No, there’s nothing wrong with it” She leaned back in the chair and looked around the small room. The walls were stick and mud, calcimined to give the impression of finish. The bunks were against the far wall, the straw ticking of one rolled up, blankets folded on top. “Finley Burkhauser's” Butler baM- "You met him, huh?” "Yes,” she said, smiling. "We met.” Then she looked at Butler and found him watching her, a frown on his face. “Something the matter?" "The smile,” he said. “Women always smile like that when they mention Finley Burkhauser.” “Do they?” He lifted his coffee cup. “Mind you, I like Finley, but he’s not vVhat I call a stable man. Too restless.” “You sound jealous, Harry.” He met her eyes briefly and colored. “I do at that, don’t I? I guess it’s because everything comes so easy for Finley and so hard for me.” Then he sighed and patted his pockets for a cigar. He bent over the table lamp for his light “You’re going back to Mustang Creek?” “Yes. Don’t you advise it?” "You know the answer to that,” Butler said. “Elizabeth, why can’t you stay here ? I could arrange it for awhile: then you could make it—permanent.” 1 fTo ContoMterf Monday j
