What Friends Suggest It has been suggested by Miss Frances Dugan, a member of the Decatur Library bohrd, that a suitable memorial for Dr. N. A. Bixler, the late president of the board, would be a bookcase of books dedicated to modern science, i During the past summer Dr. Bixler compiled a list of books on modern scientific subjects which he felt, the library should offer. Many of the books there, he felt, were out of date and new ones were needed. A memorial fund, to which all of his many friends may contribute in his name, to establish such a bookshelf, may well be discussed at the next library board meeting. Dr. Bixler’s own list could serve as a guide for the purchase of books. ■* ♦ * Museum Help Needed Adams county residents who hope to see a respectable state museum constructed and completed in time for the 150th year celebration of statehood for Indiana in 1966 should write immediately to John E. Mitchell, chairman of ways and means committee B, State House, Indianapolis 4, Indiana. The museum bill has bogged'down in committee, and only active interest on the part of the public will blast it loose. Ways and means B can be a boneyard for bills that do not have grass-roots support. At present the so-called state museum is housed in the basement of the state houses—ill-light®d, poorly kept, a conglomeration of free-will gifts and donations of every type. Everyone who has seen it must admit that it is a joke, and an unfair representation by a state with a rich historical and cultural JjackgrounfD Democracy work, and at the same time help obtain for our state a modern museum for the education and cultural betterment of young and old alike. Write to Mr. Mitchell today. •►•— • • ♦ Butler For Governor? Jep Cadou, formerly state head of the International News Service, and now a roving political reporter with the merged United Press International, stopped in Decatur yesterday on his way to Fort Wayne. Cadou stated that a well-known Hoosier Democratic politician had told him that Paul Butler, Democratic national committeeman, had written before the last election that he would consider running for governor in 1960. ‘At the present time, sentiment in Adams county is quite strong fey Senate minority leader Matt Welsh. Cadou also mentioned that Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker was the front runner in Republican circles, and that William E. Jenner, long considered the front-running choice, was not even present at recent Lincoln day celebrations. Both Butler and Welsh are better known than . Parker, who lacks color, but this -may or may not be a political asset.

I Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE o o Scrubbing Brushes When scrubbing brushes are put away wet after being used they are inclined to become sour and have an unpleasant odor. To avoid this place them in the sun to dry in a sanitary manner before putting away. Broken Fingernail Apply a small quantity of nail repair over the broken nail, cover with tissue paper, and then apply a second coat. After it has dried thoroughly, cover the mended fingernail with some polish, and it will look as good as new. Cleaner Bricks The bricks around the fireplace can be brightened by scrubbing with hot soapsuds, after which apply a coat of hot boiled oil with a paint brush. Saturate a cloth with vinegar to clean the brick tiling around the fireplace. If necessary,

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Rhoda Marsh left het New England home to cross the country to marry a man she hasn t seen tor three years. Het betrothed. Elisha Slocum, is a , missionary among Indians neat Fort Cass. Wyoming. She faces the liken- ‘ hood oi being stranded at St. lx>uis. < which she reached with the Rev. Jere- , mlah Shandy as her escort. For Rev. Shandy has been unable to persuade 1 his brother Jim. a mountain region , trader to arrange for Rhoda to travel West under the protection of a pack tram. . _ < Jim Shandy cooked OP a scheme . with Sherman Randall of the American Fur Co., which Is a rival of Jim 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 RM FC secret , rendezvous first. Jim may get 10% ot the profits: but he may also lose bis lifa For he has spotted trappers Mordecai Price and Ree Semple, whom he supposed to be-in the-mountains. They can upset his game To get rid ot Mordecai. he dopes Mordecai s drink and the trapper recovers consciousness to find himself on a steamboat escorting Rhoda Marsh on the long lourney up the Missouri. When Mordecai discovers Ree Semple a passenger on the same boat, he plans to abandon Rhoda to Ree’s care. His plana ere reversed that night Rhoda agrees to swim secretly to shore with him and travel by land Instead of choosing to continue the tourney comfortably by boat with Ree. Sorry now that she left the boat. Rhoda is resting tn a friendly Indian camp while Mordecai is trading tor horses and suppltea CHAPTER 12 THOUGH he tried to hurry his trading with Fast Runner’s band, Mordecai Price spent until mtdmornlng getting the outfit he needed. Somebody had given Rhoda Marsh good advice about trade goods and that was a fact. She had plenty of beads, good flints, ana a heap of vermilion in paper twists, as well as some foofaraw like tiny hawking bells. From Fast Runner he learned that the Rocky Mountain train, with Big Nose Yenzer In charge, bad gone upriver ten days ago. Considering that they were traveling light with the pack critters to pick up goods from the keelboat at the mouth of the Platte, they weren’t making very good time. During the trading Mordecai sensed that something was being withheld, some fact that was tickling the Ottoes. Fast Runner asked him where he had got nis squaw, and if she rode as badly as she walked, since Rhoda nad been limping when the Ottoes first saw her. One young buck offered to trade two poor ponies for her; biit all that still wasn’t touching the real reason tor their amusement, Mordecai was sure. He was about ready to get Rhoda and leave, when Ree Semple stepped out ot a lodge, grinning and yawning at the same time. "You could have saved us ail the swim, Mord. They had a skiff," The Ottoes laughed. They didn’t understand the words, but the surprise on Mordecai's face was enough. It was very funny, one white man trying to outrun another, only to discover the second man way ahead. Mordecai didn't think it was funny. "What are you up to, v .kee?” “Just going to rendezvous, is oil hlr« vnu ”

repeat. seasoning Potatoes Salt should be added to boiled potatoes when they are almost done, but before they are drained from the water. When creaming potatoes or other vegetables, add a teaspoon of onion juice to the sauce. , Annoying Squeaks Don’t be annoyed with the squeaks of door hinges, chair casters, drawers. cupboard doors, window sashes, etc., when a few drops of light oil will stop them in almost every case. , Dry Shampoo If one wishes to make a dry shampoo, mix 2 ounces of cornmeal with 1 ounce of powdered orris rpot and sprinkle this into the hair. Brush out thoroughly. Chocolateand Cocos To prevent that unpleasant scum from appearing on hot chocolate and cocoa, stir thoroughly with the rotary egg beater before serving.
“Ypu working for Jim Shan- I dy?" The look of disgust Ree showed ' was an nonest answer. "1 think the same as you do about Shandy." Ree showed his temper. “Who ! says 1 can't come nere. do some 1 trading for horses, and have me a nap?” 1 "You got that right,” Mordecai said darkly. He went to get ' Rhoda. ” ft stunned him to see the way she looked when the Indian women woke her. Her hair was braided. Put the right clothes on her and she could danged nigh pass as a Cheyenne woman. That hadn’t been Mordecai’s idea when he did some trading with one of the women, but it sure struck him now. “I got some clothes for you.” He pointed to a woman holding a sack-like Indian dress and several pairs of moccasins. “Thank you, but Pm quite comfortable tn my own—’’ Rhoda saw Ree. She gave a happy cry ot surprise and went to him. Mordecai watched them grumpily. It was a sight, the way Ree smirked, Mordecai —to ok the clothes from the squaw and tied them on one of the pack horses. "Let’s go!” Rhoda came over to him. “Since Ree nas joined uq, and is going on with us. I’ve decided to continue by land.” "Who Said he was going with us?" Mordecai growled. “Why should you object, Mr. Price?” Mr. Price! Mordecai was getting sick of the politeness. Well, since Ree was here it wouldn’t hurt to have him along, especially since Mordecai could watch him and maybe find out what he was up to. “Let’s go, then," he said. He leaned against his pony while Ree helped the woman with her plunder. Took a whole damn’ pack horse to carry just her stuff, it did. Some of her trade goods were now in Mordecai's possibles i sack. He’d straighten that out with her later. i Look at that Ree! Acting like a Memphis gentleman, the way I he was bustling around to help i her. Even helped her into the saddle. She was going to ride sldei wise. In a Sioux saddle, high in front and harder than the devil’s heart. It wasn’t made for doin’s like that, but let her find out for : hergelf. Mordecai took but with his two pack horses. Ree had a pack horse ■ of his own, but that was his looki out For a while Ree stayed bei hind with Rhoda, and then rode up to join Mordecai. “Had her about convinced on • going back, and then you showed i up.” Mordecai said. i "Promised to take her, didn’t • you? Been paid, ain’t you?" I Mordecai looked at Ree darkly. "You going all the way to reni dezvous?" , ■ “Going toward it, but I ain’t sure just when I’ll get there,’’ Ree i answered. Rhoda stopped in a grove of

Dairy Feeding And Management Parley A two-day dairy feeding and management conference will be held March 2 and 3 at Purdue University. The first day’s program will stress production records, selection of cattle and physiology of the dairy cow. Feeding methods and importance and handling of forages will be general topics on the second day. C. H. Noller, Purdue dairy specialist, pointed out that farmers and dairymen were invited for either or both of the two days. There is no registration fee and all sessions will be in room 108, Smith hall. Registration will open at 9 a.m. CST. in Smith halL H. W. Gregory, head of Purdue’s dairy department, will welcome those attending. G. A. Williams, veteran Purdue extension dairyman, will explain what dairy herd improvement association records tell. V* C. Beal, Purdue dairy scientist, will discuss presistency of milk production. L. M. Scott, Purdue dairy department, will give preliminary results of cross-breeding expert-' ments with Cattle. T. G. Martin, Purdue dairy scientist, will talk about use of production records in selecting cows for the dairy herd. N. J. Moeller, Purtfoe dairy scientist, will start the afternoon with a discussion of artificial insemination. Dr. R. K. Jones, Purdue veterinarian, will then talk about improving breeding efficiency. D. L. IJill, Purdue dairy scientist, will -discuss the influence of milking interval and frequency on production. B. W. Crowl, Purdue dairy scientist, will end the afternoon program with a discussion of milk handling. Registration for the second day will start at 8:30 a.m. Then John Yoder, Purdue dairy scientist, will talk about the effect of adding urea to corn silage. F. A. Martz, Purdue dairy scientist, will dlscuss mineral requirements of Indiana dairy cattle. Noller will take up the question of forage versus grain
trees. Fretting, Mordecai and Ree - wjUted for her to come out. They waited fifteen minutes. When she came out she was riding astride. Ree gawped like a stranded fish when he saw her long ruffled pantaloons that reached almost to ner ankles. Her skirts were pulled nigh and bunched around the saddle. Ree opened and closed his mouth without speaking, and then said: "Wagh! So that’s what they’re wearing under all them skirts these days. She looks like a Mandan dancer getting ready to cut a .whingdlng!" • • • The way Mordecai sized things, the best way was to cut over to the West Fork of the Soldier, go north to the Big Blue, and then angle west toward the Platte. Even counting on the miserable quality of the mules and norses in the Rocky Mountain pack train —if Ree was telling the truth, Mordecai was about ten days behind the pack train and would do well to overtake it this side of Chimney Rock, considering how Rhoda was dragging along. In spite ot his determination to make her travel fast, Mordecai hadn't been able to do it. Every day Ree rode beside her, swinging his arms around and talking. You’d think he was the man who discovered the Rocky Mountains, to hear his stories. He was back there now. Mordecai signaled for him to come on ahead, and after a time Ree came trotting up. “What’s up, old boss?" “You working for the American Company, Ree?" Ree haired up Instantly. “Easy i with that kind of talk. 1 ain’t took up outright with thieves yet” Mordecai laid it down flat and hard. Tm thinking Jim Shandy made a crooked deal with the ■ American. Pm thinking they got 1 a pack train coming behind us, ’ figuring to beat the Rocky Moun- ; tain train to rendezvous.” ! “You been hinting at It, Rea ’ Why?” > “Maybe to help you out, seeing ' as how you set such great store ■ by Rocky Mountain.” v 1 Mordecai glanced back toward ’ Rhoda. “Where do you figure to 5 make beaver out of it?” r Ree grinned. "Where could I, if I ain't working for neither out- ’ fit?" 5 “I’ll kill you if you lied about that, Ree." Ree still grinned, but his eyes : were as hard as Mordecai'a "You might try to, Mord.” 1 They stared at each other. Ree wasn't the clumsy, overeager brat . Mordecai had taken up the river long ago. He’d walked the high country and wolfed out the win- ’ ters with the toughest of them. He’d swallowed grizzly hair. The t wilderness was in his blood now, ' and nobody was going to scare him down. “ f (Contiiwad Monday)
feeding for production. Crowl will discuss the effect of physical form on the rate of grain consumption and N. S. Lundquist, Purdue dairy department, will talk about how proper feeding of the rumen bacteria aids milk production. J. V. Pickart, who with Claude R. Wickard, former secretary of agriculture, operates Fairacres farm, near Camden, will be lead off speaker at the afternoon session. He will relate experiences In using forage to help increase production. D. L. Hill, Purdue dairy scientist, will tell how to make better silage; J. S.

Doctors' Fees Soar With Other Costs By PATRICIA MCCORMACK United Frees International NEW YORK (UPD — Doctors’ fees, like other living costs, have soared. New Jersey physicians charged only 57.50 to deliver a baby — in 1784. About the same time, a doctor would dress a wound and “take one stitch” for a dollar in New Hampshire. Additional stitches cost 25 cents a piece. A pioneer doctor in Bangor, Maine, would call at your home for sl. But if you lived more than one mile from his office, he’d charge extra at the rate of 50 cents a mile. The bargain rates didn't last, according to accounts in “Medical America,” published by a drug firm (Shering). The reason; Doctors faced “increased living costs and depreciation of currency value." Education Was Cheap The cost of seeing a doctor hit an all-time high in California dur’ing the gdld rush. Office calls were $32, up from $5 before the gold fever. When the rush was going full tilt, a doctor called to a patient’s home at night expected SIOO. Medical education, according to the historians, was dirt cheap in. the good old days. Buffalo Medical College, tor example, charged $l5O for a “medical education ticket” in 1885. It was good for as many courses as the student desired to attend or needed for graduation. Tuition at a medical school operated by a Paul Micheau in New Jersey in 1790 was even cheaper. He gave one lecture a day for

two months, charging $25 for the full course. Different, too, were “remedies" in the pioneer days. Around JB4O, according to historians at the Oregon Medical Society, “bleeding cheqked itself when cobwebs were applied.” Other remedies: Praise Pioneer Doctors “Poultices concocted of wheat, flour and salt. Whiskey was universally used. Sunflower seed soaked in spirits for 12 hours and taken internally was used for rheumatism. “For insect bites and stings, mud was applied. Onion syrup was used for children’s colds.” Historians sing the praises of pioneer doctors, too.**®" One of.the heroes, Dr. Edmund Strudwick, of North Carolina, performed a complicated life-saving operation on an acutely ill patient during the 1800’s. At the time, Dr. Strudwick’s leg was broken—and unset. - ' In Danville, Ky., around the same time. Dr. Ephriam McDowell surgically removed an ailing ovary from a woman. It took him 25 minutes and he had to operate without an anesthetic. The i patient, a Mrs. Jane Crawford, lived to 78, when she died of old pge. Fifteen New Yorks Commercial forests cover 461 million U.S. acres, an area larger then fifteen New York states. Richest of all forest lands is a small band of 25 million acres in the extreme northwest corner of the nation in western Oregon and Washington where nearly one fourth of all the nation’s lumber plywood and pulp is manufactured. Douglas fir, prized as a lumber species of great strength and beauty, is also thebackbone of the kraft paper industry in these two states.
