WW '■ ' ' ■ T ? * 1 The County Garage The county commissioners have announced this week that their proposed new county highway building, to replace the present county garage at Decatur, will cost SIB,OOO more than the $32,000 already p*anned.' The commissioners argue that by placing the new building at Monroe the equipment will be more central|y located, and accessable to all parts of the county. Those Opposed to moving the building from Decatur say that the cost of moving the equipment north to Decatur or Fort Wayne for repairs, the loss through theft and damage in an area with very little police protection, the location of the equipment away from the most heavily traveled roads, and the inconvenience caused by moving a county unit of government away from the county seat, and the breakdown in the north-south districts formerly used by the county highway department, warrant a reconsideration of the new building. — - “ u Perhaps the county council members should take another look at the proposal, to see if the county can ""afford to build such-a building at Monroe. Previously the commissioners had planned to build the building at Decatur. „ '1 sadhk , it- ■ Those who are interested in advancing the interests of the town of Monroe would naturally object to any reconsideration; those who are interested in Decatur would naturally favor it; those from Geneva and Berne who wish to keep a south district would also "?avbr it; but the real decision should be made by those disinterested persons who consider only the best interests of the county. If* the arguments in favor of a central location of the highway department prevail, then that choice should be made ; if the opposite is true, then the county council should have the courage to reverse the decision

of the board of commissioners.

CHAPTER 17 MORDECAI PRICE and Ree Semple nad been companeroa so long that they pretty well knew what was tn each other's mind. The way Mordecai nad it figured. Ree was about ready to light out. Not knowing yet what he was up to, Mordecai reckoned he couldn’t let nim go. Even so, Ree alr.ost made it that night Silent as smoke ne skinned out right under Mordecai's nose and had nis norses almost ready to go before Mordeeel knew it Aster that it was different Monacal moved some quiet oimBelt. It pleased alm co get within ten feet nf Ree before speaking “If you wm • Crow norse thief. Ree. you'd be gone beaver right now." “Danged If that Ain’t a fact,” Ree said calmly. “Just where you going, old boss?" “Free prairie. You always said so yourself." Mordecai moved tn a little closer. ’We're getting close on the Rocky Mountain train and you want to leave all or a sudden." “Ain't wanting, Mord; I’m going " Old Belcher was solid as a stone tn Mordecai's nands. "Hudson’s Bay got a pack train out there, like we talked about!" "They could nave. Mord.’ Mordecai nearo Rhoda Marsh coming up tehlnd nim. "1 guess I'd better not let you go. Ree." "There's Just one thing you can -do then." Til do It Get away from that pony. Ree." Rhoda came up beside Mordecai. “What's the matter?” “Nothing.” Mordecai said. “Get back to your robes." "I’m going," Ree said, “and I'll tell you one thing nonest —I’m going to bring that Hudson’s Bay pack train to the rendezvous. No hard feelings. Mord, just business.” "Just plain sneaking thievery." Mordecai cocked Old Belcher. "You know me, Ree". "1 won’t stand for this!” Rhoda said. "1 won't let—” Mordecai swung his left arm back to brush the woman away. He touched ner. out she ducked under his arm and came against him and grabbed Old Belcher. It caught him by surprise. She fought for nis rifle with the fury et a Blackfoot squaw.

A. This is quite proper. The gift may be sent upon receipt of an announcement, if there is one, or whenever you hear about the marriage. The gift would be addressed in this case to Mr. and Mrs., and sent to their new address. Q. When eating a baked potato at the dinner table, is it correct to extract the potato from its skin and mash it on the plate?’ A; the proper way is to split the potato, and then eat it directly from its skin. *Q. Is it ji v e r permissible to send formal invitations worded in the first person? A. No; they must always be worded in the third person. Harvard's defense was so disappointing. in the third game of the 1901 football season that coach Bill Reid ordered the varsity to play the freshmen immediately after the game ended. The Crimson went through the rest of the season undefeated. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

to the American Company with the same deal. They figured right, I’m thinking. 1 was tn St. Louie to find out. If there’s going to be a pack train war, Hudson's Bay has got as much right as anybody to be tn it That’s al) they’re 1 waiting to know from me right t now.” I "So you was working for Hudson’s Bay all the time!” Mordecai accused. “Nope. Just for Ree Semple, . like I said. You go ahead. Mord, and toe a damn -fool trapper all your life." Ree swung back to his ponies. He went drumming away in the starlight while Mordecai’s , head was still fogged from the pistol rap. The proper treatment for Rhoda was a good beating with a stick. Mordecai didn’t nave the stick, and she wasn’t nis squaw, so he fell back on the white man’s way. He cursed. "What the devil was you trying to do, woman!" “To keep you from killing him. He’s your friend.” <'A friend like that needs killing." Mordecai began to reload Old Belcher. “He was honest He told you what ne was going to do. For a tew' dollars you'd take a man's life?" “There’s some I’d kill for nothing.” Mordecai growled. He went trotting through the night to see it Ree had cut the picket ropes of the other ponies. If he had done that, then there was no question about his need to be killed. The ponies were still secure. Mordecai looked at the sky. About naif the night Was gone. “Get your plunder together," he ordered. "We re not going on In the middle of the night?" «1 am. You can stay if it suits you." Rhoda came closer from the darkness. "I'll do just that, Mr. Price. I’ll stay here and go on by myself." “You’re crazy!” “How far are we behind the pack train ?” “Never mind that You can’t go it alone. Get your plunder gathered up.” Rhoda walked on to the camp sind got into her robes. Mordecai considered bluffing, packing up and riding on from the camp a ways. He was afraid to try it, because he knew he couldn't leave her on the prairie alone. She would «tay. By Old Ephraim, she’d stay, and then he’d have to come sneaking back. Already she’d made a greenhorn tool out of him by grabbing his rifle, but he’d be a worst too) ts he tried a blvft that didn't work. He walked away from camp. When he caught the pack train, that's where Rhoda would stay. He’d unload her on Big v Nose, while he went on ahead to rustle horses from the Indians. One day short of the Laramie

Cfiunft Agent's o ° Compare Yields Purdue University—U.S. department of agriculturel small grain breeding team averaged oats yields of 181 bushels gnd »ere and pat silage yields of 19 tons an acre in 1958 .experiments at the University’s nearby agronomy (arm. The 1958 average Indiana oat yield was 51 bushels an acre. The team, composed of F. L. Patterson, R. M. Caldwell, L- E. Compton and J. F. Schafer, has been studying forage and grain yields of spring oats for three years. The first two years experimentation concerned forage yields at the soft dough state for different rates of planting. Emphasis last year was placed on determining yield of forages at various stages of plant development. Seven varieties, including two not yet released, were included in the study. Two new varieties. Clintland 60, which will be available to farmers in 1960 and Minhafer, were compared to other varieties for forage yield at the dough stage an< for grain yield only last year. Prior to seeding last April 3, 175 pounds of 12-52-0 analysis fertilizer an acre was applied. Ideal oats growing weather followed. June was much cooler and wetter than normal for Indiana, and the fruiting period (flowering to maturity) was nearly a week longer than the normal four-week period. The scientists found that highest forage yield came at the soft dough state. Smallest yields of silage resulted when. the oats were harvested at the preboot stage, about 10 days before the oats head. Excellent forage yields, ranging from 16.6 to 22.7 tons an acre, were obtained from all varieties. Forage yield was not closely related to grain yield. For instance Putman was the lowest in forage yield, but topped the other varieties in, grain yield. Bentland was excellent in forage yield, but low in grain yield. Henry Timrod was the "Laureate of the Confederacy.” He was born at Charleston, SC., in 1828 and died at Columbia, S.C., in 1867. Aspen is the favorite food of beavers.

Fork they overtook the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. pack train at nooning on a windy day. Even from afar Mordecai did not like what tie saw. The train was loosely spread in the camp itself, and Small groups were moving about e dark mounds scattered widely on the wind-roughened land. The nunters had got into buffalo, hut every Mexican packer and French voyageur with the shebang didn’t need to be out butchering. Sioux could go through the camp tike a wlfHwlnd, wrecking it and running horses off before rifles could be dragged from cases. Someone in the camp saw the two riders coming, true enough, and for a short time there was a small stir 01 action as men leaped up. Mordecai saw the glint of a telescope in someone’s hands. Then the whole personnel of the pack outfit seemed to collapse again. Mordecai rode on in, past the caballada of mules and horses. Ree had been right. It wa» the most miserable collection of anitnals he had ever seen, except in an Indian camp after a long winter. He wondered now Big Nose had got them this far. Some of the herders were lying down. Camp tenders were sprawled on the lee side of packs. Mordecai saw few faces that he recognized. Seemed like Shandy had picked his men like he’d picked the pack mules and horses —from the bad side of the corral. With Rhoda close behind him, he went on and found Big Nose Yenzer, who was debating with a packer whether or not to shoot a norse. Yenzer was a small man, swarthy and waspish, known tor his wicked fighting sprees when drunk: but he had a reputation, too, for staying sober on the prairie and at rendezvous —until all business was attended to. "Shoot him." he growled at the packer. He turned to face Mordecai. Yenzer was instantly hostile. “What do you. want, food? ,• Like your bld companero Semple?" It had occurred to Mordecai that Big Nose could be working with Jim Shandy. The fact that he’d got the train this far didn’t prove otherwise: but a keen study of the clerk, red eyed, tired, savagely defiant, wiped out Mordecai’s suspicions. .. Like the Pawnees said, Big Nose had been given a poor boat And a worse crew. He looked plumb frazzled from fighting the odds. He’d have to be handled easy. Mordecai has reason to doubt his choice of method tn handling Big Nose. In tact he has cause to wonder U be has unloosened a demon that he can’t control. Continue the story tomorrow. __ £ _ _ _

French Beauty Will Forego Girl Roles By VERNON SCOTT UFI Holly wood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Bid ye farewell to the wistful waif who for the past eight years has captivated moviegoers in the guise of Leslie Caron. The petite French beauty will act her age (27) henceforth, foregoing the delightful little girl roles she began in “An American in Paris” and portrayed for the last time in “Gigi.” In a pair of new movies Leslie is "grown up” from the first scene through the last reel. “I am deliriously happy about it,” she beamed during a lunch break at 20th Century-Fox Studios. “It has b€ten a long time coming, but now I'm free from being ‘Lili’ at last. “The waif isn’t me. But people still try to adopt me. They think I am a lost and frightened child who needs a home and pratec-

May Shock Fans Leslie's metamorphosis from pixie to full-fledged womanhood may prove a shock to her fans. In her new movie, “The Mgn Who Understood Women,” the fawneyed actress plays a movie star, complete with husband and lover. She also has a scene in which she gets tanked on vodka. In another new film, “Doctor’s Dilemma,” Leslia plays a dramatic role previously essayed by actresses in their late 30s. Though her roles have changed drastically, Leslie continues to be an elfin sprite in person. Her large eyes appear half frightened. Her smile is impish and her accent still intact. “I think these pictures will convince audiences I am no longer a child,” she said seriously. “After all, I am a wife and the mother of two children.” Married To Director Leslie is married to English director Peter Hall. The couple lives in London with youngsters, Christopher, 2, and Jennifer, 5 months. —

"Perhaps the next step for me is to play a role in which I age “Ypu see, I am an gctress and I would like to prove I can portray mature roles. ’ "I don’t sing or dance in these pictures either. And I haven’t danced ballet for three years. “I believe if I can play a 15 or 26-year-old girl convincingly I can also be convincing as a woman my own age, or older. “My role in ‘The Man Who Understood Women’ is very naughty. It might shock people into believing I’m no longer a We girl.’’
