Dogs In The Spring The city “dog season,” when man’s best friend generally makes a pest of himself when allowed to roam the countryside at will, is about to return. Each year the Decatur police department gets literally hundreds of telephone calls on dogs barking, dogs destroying flower beds, dogs congregating, etc., etc. Dogs that get in trouble will be picked up, taken to the city dog pound, and held there, under the law, until their owners pick them up. If no owner shows up in a week or two, the dogs will be disposed of, according to the law. So, to save heartaches, it’s best to have the 50 cent dog license tag abound the dog’s neck, so that it can be identified. Better still, it’s best to keep the dog on a leash, or fenced in on your own property. After all, who would feel that he has a right to turn loose a small child without supervision? And certainly even a small child is better able to judge and avoid destruction of property than is a dog, which is owned by its master. The license does not release the owner from responsibility—it merely will allow the return of the dog, and will also assure anyone bitten by the dog that it has, or has not been vaccinated for rabies. Many Thanks To the more than 200 persons who, by writing, call- ’ ing, or just dropping in, have expressed their appreciation and interest in a modern, forward-looking policy for juveniles, and for pushing a policy that will make accurate statistics on juvenile crime available, we wish to express our sincere thanks. The growing community awareness of this problem has more than repaid the hard work necessary to dig out the obscured facts of the matter. We wish also to thank the three persons who have partly criticised the stands taken in the editorials—it is only by closely examining everyone’s opinion, and choosing what is best from each, that in a truly Demo.<cratic fashion we may discover the best course.

Or, soak the oil mop in soda water, then wash in hot soapsuds; rinse well and shake occasionally while drying. To apply fresh oil, pour some polish in a shallow pan and allow the mop to stand in it until it is absorbed. Rusty Screws Rusty screws can usually be easily removed by first applying a red hot iron to the head for a short time, then removing with a screwdriver while 'the screw is still hot.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Rhoda Marsh left net* New England home to cross the country to marry a man ahe hasn't seen for three vears. Hei betrothed Elisha Slocum, la a missionary among Indians near Fort Cast Wyoming. She faces the likelihood ot being stranded at St. Louis vine, she reached with the Rev Jeremiah Shandy as her escort For Rev Shandv nas been unable to persuade hia brother Jim a mountain region trader to arrange for Rhoda to travel West under the protection of a back train. Jim Shandy eooked up a scheme with Sherman Randal) of tha Amencan Fur Co which is a rival of Tim’s employer, the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. to rook the latter company, and now has reason to regret It If the AFC traders get to the RMFC secret rendezvous first Jim mat get IW of the orofits hut he mav also lose nls life For he has spotted trappers Mordecal Price and Rec Seznnie whom he supposed to he tn the mountains They "an upset his game. To get rid ot Mordecai he dopes Mordecai’s drins and the trapper recovers ionscloUßness to find himself on a steamboat escorting Rhoda Marsh on the long tournev up the Missouri When Mordors! discovers Ree Semnie a pas ganger on the same boat, he plans to abandon Rhoda to Ree’s care. CHAPTER 9 Mordecai price found Ree Semple dealing Mexican monte on a blanket. There was loot gathered around his legs, so It was evident that several greenhorns and boatmen had learned something of the game the hard way. • “What do you know about the Rocky Mountain pack train, Ree?" Mordecai demanded. Ree turned over a card. He hauled a handful of Spanish dollars and a knife into the pile of loot around his legs. “No more’n you. I reckon, ft left to meet the keelboat at the mouth of the Platte last week- Why?” “Where’d you go last night after we met Blas Wimarr ?” “Huntin' better whisky." Ree grinned as he riffled the cards “Blas said he’d keep an eye on you until I got hack.” He waved a big paw' over the blanket "Freeze into it, boys! Bets on the table." There wasn’t nothing to be learned from Ree when he didn’t want to say it Mordecai went back to Rhoda Marsh. “You’re still my guide T” she asked. “Yeah.” Mordecai gave her a sour look. He promised to take her to Fort Cass, no matter if he had bean poisoned-sick at the time. He wasn’t the type to go back on his word. Os course, if she deserted him, that would be different, riien Ree would have to take care of her. Fact was, Mordecai couldn't travel fast with a woman along, while it didn't matter whether Ree traveled fast pr not; at least it didn’t matter to Mordecai. “You’ve already received your money, haven’t you ?" Rhoda asked. “What money?” “The two hundred dollars the minister gave to his brother, your tee for taking me to Fort Cass.” “Hm-m,” Mordecai said, and that was a!) the answer he gave. Talk about a man getting drunk and losing his beaver . . . That

Jim Shandy, ft got darker the more Mordecai thought about it • • • When Sherman Randan’s righthand man. Joseph Bogard, sent word for Jim Shandy to come to the Office ot the American Fur Company, it was insulting proof that the American now regarded Shandy as a hireling. And when Shandy went even though in a rage, it was an admission that the view was correct. Shandy had to wait a half-hour while Bogard finished some business with a representative of an i Eastern manufacturer. A rawness was coming from the river, and Bogard had a fire In the small stove tn his office 1 He warmed his coattails while he talked to Shandy “Mr Randall - requires one more step to ensure your guarantee to American." , “To hell with his step. I’ve done my part." In spite of fatness, there was a certain strength in Bogard’s , face. “Not quite, Mr. Shandy You’re to leave at once to make sure that the Rocky Mountain train doesn’t travel too fast" “It won’t I gave you my word . on that.” . Bogard puffed out round cheeks. “Yenzer is a competent man, Then, too, it’s likely that ' he’ll be joined by Mordecai Price.” “Mordecai has got his hands full. I fixed It so he won’t ever ) catch that train." Bogard shifted to warm his ’ front at the stove. “Yes. you sadi died him with that young woman, i after you had him drugged and i cheated out ot all his possessions.” “You and your miserable spies!” • Shandy growled. “Price it still dangerous. Ree i Semple went upriver with him You should have done something i about Semple. Mr. Shandy." I That Ree was gone was news . to Shandy. He should have had > them both killed right here tn St. Louis. Mordecai and Ree too. He’d • considered it, too. but the odds t had been bad: Ree had stayed t sober and watchful, and Blas W»marr, in spite of being drunk, had ! been a fly tn the ointment “We have reason to think that i Semple is still with Hudson's i Bay," Bogard said. He turned to ! look at Shandy. “They've been 5 crowding farther east all the time. > Suppose they, too, have been eon- ! sidering the Idea of beating everyi one to rendezvous?” i Shandy watched the fat-faced , man with cold fear. What had he i found out? 'They won’t come : that far east." ! “Why not? We've been wonder- ■ Ing for a long time why the British haven’t tried IL If they’re • ready to move from an advance i base somewhere east of Fort Boise, Semple nas time to get word to them and bring them to s rendezvous before either Rocky ■ Mountain or American can reach ’ the place." I “What for do they need him ?” Shandy asked. “Anybody can find : the way to Wind River.” “If they’re making the move

Estate Case ;! In the estate of Dina Habegger, . the final report was filed, showing i the value of the transfers subject to tax at $3;747.35. A notice was ordered issued by publication ret turnable February 28. ir 1 i Traffic Cases Are k Set For Hearings J Two traffic cases for recent ar- , i rests were set in mayor’s court for ! hearings later this week. , Robert S. Hedges, 61. Fort [ Wayne, arrested by the state po- , lice at the junction of U. S. 27 and I Second street extended for failure ; j to yield the right of way, will api pear within the near future on the charge. James Parent, 27, route five, Decatur, was arrested by the state police on U. S. 224 one mile west of the Ohio state line for driving , 75 miles per hour.

this year, all they’re waiting for is news that American is sending a train to beat the Rocky Mountain. rhat will wipe out any last scryples Hudson’s Bay may have about open competition east of the mountains.” Bogard shrugged. 'We re going to wipe out the Rocky Mountain Company any- , way, whether you '-now it or not, but we don’t want Hudson’s Bay beating us to the first course of the feast.” “I didn’t guarantee anything about the British ” “Perhaps not. but if they should win you’re going to lose out” Bogard smiled. “I’m afraid you’re much too simple for this end of the fur trade. Phat’s why Mr. Randal] says you may be of more use to us out there where you properly belong.’’ Shandy fought back a desire to slam Bogard against the wall and choke him. “You’re to leave at once." Bogard said. “Whatever you do to ensure that the Rocky Mountain train is delayed is your own business. All we demand is results." “I ain’t going nowhere, dammit!” <? “You’re riot with trappers and Indians now.” Bogard said quietly. “We want you to leave within two hours. 1 assure you that it’s your only course.” Shandy knew that he could take three steps across the room and tear the fat, insulting underling to pieces with ms bare hands. He wanted to. and it was not Bogard that stopped him. It was the power and the reach of the company that the man represented which kept Shandy standing rigid and savage. “I suggest that you start moving," Bogard said. Shandy was hooked. He knew it. “1 want some money in advance on our agreement.” Bogard smiled and shook his head. Rage carried Shandy through the next point “I’m not waiting thirty days for my money after the pack train comes back. It’s cash the day after the furs reach St Louis, or the deal’s off!" “No One cancels an agreement with American,” Bogard warmed his handa over the stove. “However, I’U see that you get your 10 per cent two days after our train returns.” “I’d rather have that promise from Randall.” “I can speak for him in this matter," Bogard said. “You will be paid.” • - Shandy guessed it was the best he could do. From the window Bogard watched him leaving. Trappers were all the same, stupid but necessary. Shandy's chances of coming back to St Louis to collect his money Were very slim. If his own company didn’t find out what he had done, and take care of him, the leader of the American pack train would drop a few hints at rendezvous that would start the bail rolling. fConflirued Tomorrow,} j
