NOTES FROM AFTER THIRH By Jack Heller • NICE JOB Bernard Clark and bis crew have done a fine job on the city streets this winter. It is no easy task keepinc the streets driveable, with new ice forming every week. The men have been on the job many lone hours and in terrible weather. It is wondered if they’ve had time to think about the shape the streets will be in after all the freezes and thaws of this winter. They probably haven’t had the time nqr the inclination to fret about this problem — it can wait until the time comes. RIGHT TO THE POINT We recently received an interesting topic in the mail from one of our readers. It was written by a parent about the ‘‘keeping teenagers busy” problem. It has been printed in several papers, and seems worthy of further publication. • “Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager: What can We do? Where can we go? “I can make a suggestion. Go home. Paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub the floor. Get a job. Build a boat. Help the minister. Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Study. Read a book. "Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your town does not owe you recreational facilities. The world does not owe you a living. “You owe the world your time and talents, and they should be devoted to trying to see to it that no one will ever be at war again, or in poverty, or sick, or lonely. “In plain simple words: Grow up. Quit being a cry baby. Get out of your dream world. Develop your back-bone instead of your wishbone. “Im a parent. I’m tired of nursing, protecting, helping, appealing, begging, excusing and tolerating. I’m tired of denying myself things and tired of catering to your every Whim and fancy just because your personality and thinking and requests are dominated by selfish ego instead of common sense.” i 3o—

Her betrothed Elisha Slocum u> a missionary among Indians near Fort Cass Wyoming. She faces the likelihood ot being stranded at St Unris. woicb she reached with the Rev. JeremJsr Shandy as bar escort. For Rev Shandy has been unable to persuade his brother Jim. a mountain region trader, to arrange for Rhoda to travel Wert under the protection of a pack train. Jim Shandy cooked an a scheme with Sherman Randall of the American Fur Co., which is a rival of Tim's employer the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. tr rook the latter company, end new has reason to regret It If ‘he AFC traders wet to the RMFC secrer rendezvous first.

To ret rid of Mordecai be dopes Morderars drink end the trapper recovers consciousness to find himself on a steamboat escorting Rhode Marsh on the long Journey up the Missouri. CHAPTER 8 Mordecai price began to explore the crowded deck of the Rosebud. Sticking out from behind a pile of mooring tine were a pair of leggins and huge moccasined feet- By Old Ephraim, there just might be one man aboard with something in his possibles sack besides cheese and stale bread. It was Ree Semple tying there on a buffalo robe, with his hands resting on his belly. He grinned at Mordecai. "Bow’d you get your rifle back?" “Shandy.” Mordecai scowled darkly. “Do 1 remember straight, you didn’t lose nothing gambling last night?" “You can’t remember that straight, Mord —but I didn't" Ree sat up and hauled his possibles sack around. “Got some dried buffler." “This child has got a place for It“ Mordecai sat down cross-leg-ged. He was chewing his first big mouthful when he heard loud laughter and Rhoda Marsh saying. “I’ll thank you to mind your own business. «dr!" Ree grinned. "There’s your squaw.' MortL* _ "Maybe she can convert whoever’s pestering her.” "She ain’t no missionary. She’s going to Fort Cass to marry one, ia all." “Same difference.” .Mordecai erammed more meat in his mouth. “How do you know ao much about her?" “Got acquainted while you was laying there Like a drunk Omaha. 1 rustled her some breakfast too."

ON THE RIGHT TRACK An encouraging note to parents —and sometimes we need one. > Last Sunday, our youngest son was i busy balancing a stick on his hand i (one of the many useless talents : developed by small boys). I over- > heard a remark that caused the ; ears to pop up. He was busy talking to himself, and stated that the i prize for winning the balancing t contest was a beautiful girl. This i was too good to passup, coming from a five-year-old boy, so I cas- : ually asked him what he would do ■ with the first prize if he won, give > her a big hug? , Showing that chil- • dren are much smarter than adults, he gave me a scornful r “no." He said he’d put her to t work, doing all his jobs around the • house. I know several men who ■ have been trying to do the same thing for years. Maybe the son can • patent the formula. ■ ■ ■ STOCK ’ Many people around Decatur ' and vicinity have learned to listen to weather reports before they ’ park their cars. We have heard of L several instances where folks parked their autos at night in stev-

care of the woman, and brought * her food from the company mess, < ‘ He had the boatmen rig her a i canvas shelter against the boiler- i 1 house. Late in the afternoon Mordecai - saw the firgj boil of the Missouri , water bursting darkly on the > lighter surface of the Mississippi. 1 He wept forward to watch. There 1 she was, the Big Muddy. Her > powerful underrunning currents ' laden with the silt of a wild, fat r country surged deep below the * tamer waters of the Mississippi. ’ and then came exploding upward, r It was the Missouri’s last vlo- ’ lent complaint against merging , with a stream that flowed slug- . gtshly through tamed and con- , quered lands. To Mordecai it was like meet- ' Inga loved, savage companion. He was staring nappily at the brown churn of Old Muddy when Rhoda came up beside him. She > watched the river for a time with r a strange expression. , “How far do we go up that?” , she asked. “A right far piece,” Mordecai said. She was going all the way j to Fort Union, whether she knew , it or not Mordecai was leaving I just as soon as he got a few things worked out In his head. > “Mr. Shandy said we’d get j horses somewhere near the Bad j River." r “Yeah." She couldn’t have any idea of what it was way out I there: no house to step into when it started to blow up a rain, no j store to trot over to when you wanted a piece of cloth or somet thing to put in your belly, and * no other white women to gabble . with. Yet she didn’t appear to be ■ put out. Maybe not, so far. The Rosebud r was one thing; the lonesome land . was another. Wait until Mordecai [ put up his bluff about wanting I her to leave the boat suddenly. Right there was where Ree was r going to get stuck. “Mr. Semple has been telling , me something about the life out here, Mr. Price. 1 understand that . some things are different from Massachusetts.’’ i “A heap," Mordecai said. , “We’ll travel with your pack train, once we overtake it, I supl pose?’ "Who said that ? Jim Shandy?" ; “No. Mr. Semple said that was what you’d do.” i “Might do that" So Ree was . feeding her ideas, trying to find ’ out what plans Mordecai had in, i mind. What was Ree up to, apy- : way? A whole neap of things ’ that had happened tn St. Louis ; had begun to trouble Mordecai ■ soma now that his head was clear and he’d nad time to do i some thinking. I What was Shandy’s idea In telling him to go clean up to Bad River before starting across the i prairies, when the Platte trail was the best way? Not that Mordecai , had a second thought io ft*

eral inches of water, and found them firmly imbedded in the like amount of ice the following morning. Heard of one instance where the car was stuck for a week. At least it is not an affliction limited to this area. Anna K. Williams, former Adams county home demonstration agent, had the same unhappy experience in Lafayette. FELT THE URGE Tony Isch is a great admirer of his father. He has watched with interest as daddy Fred labored with a paint brush on the woodwork of his new home. Recently, Tony was staying with his grandmother and announced that he was in the painting mood. Grandma wisely announced that she had nothing that needed painting, and nothing to paint it with. This didn’t stop the young improviser. When you gotta’ paint, you gotta’ paint. Grandma left the room, and Tony made his own paint. He took her hair brush, opened a jar of deodorant, and proceeded to give the alarm clock a quick two-coats. The results of this home-improve-ment project by the young man have not been fully learned, but they can be imagined.

lowing the advice: he’d pick his own route going anywhere. b Shandy sure had been in a sweating hurry to get Mordecai started toward rendezvous. "You really a missionary?" he asked the woman. “No. Pm going to Fort Cass to marry a missionary and help him." “How come Jim Shandy was helping you?" “Mr. Shandy’s brother Jeremiah is a member of our Missionary Society. He met me in Cincinnati and accompanied me to St Louis. At first his brother didn’t seem inclined to help us, but then, as soon as he came out of the Beaver Palace that day you were fighting in there, ho changed his mind.’* Some of the thoughts growing in Mordecai’s mind were too black to reveal to anyone. The first thing that he had to do was shift the responsibility for this woman to Ree Semple. “You trust Ree pretty much, don’t you?” “Why, yea He seems to be a gentleman." A gentleman! “He sure is," Mordecai agreed. “Not only that, but he’s one of the best men on the prairie you’ll ever meet. He can sneak through a Pawnee camp at night and not even stir up a dog. He can pick out a fat cow running through dust at two hundred yards and shoot plumb center. He can—" "Pm sure he’s an accomplished plainsman, Mr. Price. What’s your point?" Mordecai shook his head. “1 might have to leave the boat a little sooner than 1 thought.” He took a deep breath and met Rhoda’s eyes squarely. “Tm thinking Ree jfiuld take you all the way to Fort Union on the boat That's safe traveling. Then it ain’t hardly no trip at all from Union to Cass.” What was a couple of hundred miles, especially if Ree, not Mordecai. was dragging a woman with him? “That’s odd.’ “What’s odd ?" Mordecai asked. “Your having such great confidence in Mr. Semple. He told me you were the one who taught him everything he knows about the plains and the mountains.” The dirty coyote! That was the first time be had ever admitted that to anyone. Mordecai would have sworn that Rhoda was holding laughter behind her eyes, like a tickled Indian, ~ “Mr. Semple also said that he might have to leave the boat unexpectedly.” Rhoda said. “You see, it did occur to me, after observing your conduct and condition last night, that 1 might be better off with another escort, so I asked Mr. Semple, but he declined to accept the task." Mordecai grunted like a gutshot bear. He went aft to find Mr. Semple, the gentleman who declined tasks.
