A Welcome Rain Farmers, gardeners, and lawnwatchers in general hailed the shower Friday morning. Crops were crying for rain over most of the north half of the county. Many people in Decatur hesitate to sprinkle their lawns because of the softened water, and because of the sewage disposal rate based on the amount of water used. The softening actually “sweetens” the yard, adding * lime to it, and if used does not harm the grass. The sewage disposal rate is based on the premise that people .will use water for lawns; that is the reason for the 80% charge. Decatur now has plenty of water, and there is no danger of a summer shortage, Ralph Roop, the city engineer, has explained. Two wet summers, coupled with the new method of “resting” and recharging the Wells, has resulted in an actual water surplus for the city. This is a good thing, because in the past the aity has worried over providing water for a new industry. That worry is now pretty well taken care of by the new wells and new methods used by the present administration.

Showers Break Long Dry Spell In Slate United Press International Light to moderate showers finally broke the back of a long dry spell in Indiana Friday just about the time the crop situation was getting serious. Furthermore, the chances of additional scattered thundershowers today, tonight, Sunday and Monday looked brighter than they have all week. Shoals reported a two-inch rain during the last 24 hours, considerably more than most other areas which had amounts ranging from one-fourth to nearly an inch. But most significant thing about the shower pattern was that many areas which needed rain most got it, and others which 'needed it the least, didn’t. Crawfordsville, where a lightning bolt put the power plant out of commission, recorded .79 of an inch, Lafayette .65, Evansville .50, Indianapolis .28. Fort Wayne, which is in the area needing rain the least, got only a trace. South Bend, where showers have been skimpy, only .01 of an inch was recorded. The amounts of rain wheih fell at most points were far below the totals needed to break the drought. But the showers were a start toward relief. Temperaures, meanwhile, remained at seasonal levels as humidity increased. Highs Friday ranged from 83 at Fort Wayne to 90 at Evansville. Today's highs will range from the upper 80s to near 90, lows tonight from the upper 60s to near 70. and high Sunday from the lower 80s to near 90. No relief from the warm readings was expected except in the north portion where the outlook was for “a little cooler” Sunday. Elsewhere it will stay warm and humid through Monday. Bowling Classroom CHICAGO (UPD—Russian visitors to the American National Exhibition in Moscow this summer will have an opportunity to try out the latest in classroom furniture vyhile they learn about bowling. The exhibit is being sent to Moscow by the Bruns wick-Balke-Coll-ender Co., which will supply the furniture as well as a film in which champion bowler Don Carter will explain the fine points of the game. The Irish potato originally came from Peru. Costa Rica has more school teachers than soldiers.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED The preparation* ot Dean Crockett H. millionaire explorer, tor a party in his penthouse included hiring Berth* Cool ot the Cool A Lam Detective Agency to keep out gate crasher* and sneak thieves. He believed a woman was the gate crasher who got away from a previous party with one ot his valuable relics. Crockett's press agent Melvin Otis Olney, tipped oil newspapers about the precautions against gate crashers and then had reason to regret it For somehow an intruder got past big Bertha and aa X-ray protective device with a lade Buddha and a pygmy blowgun treasured by Crockett Bertha, furious over her apparent lapse, summoned her bantam-weight partner, Donald Lam. while Crockett insisted that bls stolen curios be recovered without police involvement Following a hunch. Donald visited the offices of the International Good- ■ will Club, the sponsor of Crockett's recent expedition to Borneo. There. In the staff of a elub flag, he found the missing blowgun. Donald is telling the story. . < • CHAPTER 7 “MOW WHAT to the world In would that be doing to here 7" said Carl X. Bedford, gazing incredulously at Dean Crockett’s Mowgun. “That’s the point," I said. "What to the world would it be doing to there?" It was well over five feet long, of a black, hard wood that was like Iron. It had been heated, .rubbed and polished until the thing looked like metal. I tilted ft up to the light, and the interior at the blowgun was a smooth, polished tube as brilliant as glass. I stood the blowgun to the corner against the racks, screwed th* cap back on the flagpole, which was now much lighter than the other flags, and put the flag back to the rack. I picked up th* blowgun and said, “Well, thanks a lot for the interview." “Here, wait • minute,’’ Bedford said. “Where do you think you’re going with that blowgun?” “Eventually.” 1 said. “I’m going to return tt to Its owner.” “How do you know who Its owner is?” he demanded. “I knew the same way you da It’s Crockett’s blowgun." \ “Well, I’ll do the returning. Mr. Lam. That happens to be club property." I smiled at him and said, “I’B return It.” He came forward and stood hulking over ma “That's what you think!” he said, his eyes angry. “Give me that blowgun.” I said, “You can probably take It away from me, but when you do, I’ll step over to that phone and call the police.” “I don’t think Mr. Crockett would want any publicity about it." i “The way for Mr. Crockett to lavoid publicity,” I said, “is to have me return the blowgun and CopyrixM O 1968 toEr

Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE o — o Greasy Dishes The task of washing greasy dishes can be made much easier by dissolving a little washing soda in the hot water before washing them. The juice of a lemon is also good, and no soap is needed. I Twine Holder A small funnel makes a good twine holder. It can be hung in a convenient place, placing the ball of twine inside and running the end of the string out through the funnel end. Gravy Add a touch of burnt sugar to the flour which you -use in making roast-beef or lamb gravy, and H will create a pleasant flavor. Varnish on Fabrics To remove varnish from fabrics, saturate with turpentine, rub the fabric between the hands, and sponge wtih alcohol or chloroform. Prevent Rust All steel articles can be perfectly preserved from rust by putting a lump of fresh burnt lime in the drawer or case in which they are kept. Starching JFor garments that require just a little starching, the water from boiled rice may be used.

you keep your mouth shut." “What do you mean by that crack?" I said, "That blowgun was stolen. I’m commissioned to recover it That’s why I came here in the first place." , "You .. . you—" I took out a leather folder and showed him my card certifying that I was a duly licensed private detective. “Satisfied?” I asked. He kept batting his eyes. “You’re a detective ?’’ “Yes.” “1 ... I never would have thought it" 1 didn’t say anything. “You had me fooled.” “Perhaps you’d like to tell me how it happened that you took that blowgun from Crockett’s penthouse last night" “I didn’t take it" I grinned at him, a sort of knowing leer that I thought the occasion called for. “I assure you, Mr. Lam, that I know nothing of it 1 was presented with the flag as secretary of the club, and 1 took the flag to have it properly inscribed with a brass nameplate and placed in the rack." “Why don’t you and I have a nice little talk?” 1 said. “What do you mean, a talk?” “You wouldn’t like to have this racket exposed, would you?" “What do you mean, a rack-' et?” "Ever show your books to the income tax department ?” 1 asked. “Certainly aot Why should we?" “You’re a profit-making corporation.” "Indeed we are not, Mr. Lam. We’re incorporated as a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of promoting international good will and understanding." I grinned at him. “That last is what I really wanted to know." “What last?" "That you’re incorporated as a nonprofit corporation. Now, I’ll tell po« what happens. You’ve got a membership list of eight or ten individual*; probably no more than that You have a lot of honorary members who are nothing more or less than suckers. Your active members donate large sums of money to the chib. The club, in turn, finances their expenses when they go on trips. “Take Dean Crockett, for instance. He wants to go to Borneo. He has his yacht his photographer, his public relations man, his wife and four or five guests.

Kirkland KuLUpe The Kirkland Kut-Ups met Tuesday for the last time this season at the home of Martha Steury, who treated the club to an outdoor hamburger barbecue. President Karen Cauble was in charge of the meeting, Eva Mankey and Cathy Cauble led the pledges, and Joan Brown led group singing. Members responded to roll call by answering questions about 4-H. The leaders checked over record books and projects. Plans were made for the group’s float for the 4-H fair, and their trip to Pokagon state park. The Kirkland Kut-Ups’ local judging will be Wednesday, July 22, at the Adams Central school, beginning at 11:15 a.m. Sod busters The second last meeting of the St. Mary's Sodbusters club was this week at the Pleasant Mills school, president Dean King in charge. Tom and Dick Edgell led the pledges for the 18 members and bne leader present. The group was reminded that the books must be signed and the dues paid, as the next meeting, July 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the Pleasant Mills school, will be the last one for this season.

for a man of his wealth. By the t time he paid the expenses and then earned enough to pay those - expenses, and then paid income r tax on the money he’d spent on s the trip, he'd be broke. “But he makes a donation to the club of fifty thousand dollars, 1 then the club turns around and ! sponsors an expedition by Crock--5 ett to Borneo. Crockett comes back and gives the dub a flag, and a duplicate print of cdored - motion pictures taken on the trip. “He also has his photographer , prepare a scrapbook dealing with ' the trip, and that te filed in ths archives of the dub. He submits an expense account, fifty thou- , sand, six hundred and seven dol- ' lars. , "Crockett doesn’t report getting expenses of the trip as income because the club simply f paid his expenses. On the other > hand, he does report the fifty-thousand-dollar donation to the [ club as being a tax-exempt dona- ■ tion. ’ “In that way, a group of mil-, ' lionaire members manage to take * i their hunting trips, keep their i yachts up and take their friends around the world all on a taxi deductible basis. “I evep suppose that the shindig Dean Crockett gave last night i tor his friends was termed a lecture on behalf Os international ' good will, trying to promote an understanding between the social i elite of this city and the savage tribes of Borneo. You’D be paying l the caterer’s bill, and Crockett will make a donation to cover." Bedford looked at me with consternation stamped all over his face. “Who . . . who are you working for?" “Right at the moment Pm working for Dean Crockett" “Well, you don’t act like it" “I’m working for the guy on a special mission," 1 told him. “I was hired to get the btowgun back. Tve got it I "AU this other stuff Pm telling you Pm throwing in gratuitously to impress upon y< u that you i don’t want to monkey with ma because if you do, thia whole racket is going to get In the newspapers. And if the racket i gets in the newspapers, you’d lose i a very soft job." He stood there blinking that over. “Good morning, Mr. Bedford," I said, taking the blowgun. He took tn a deep breath. “Good morning, Mr. Lam,” he said, bowing formally. I walked out, taking the blowgun with me. ( Continued Teawnwu < • ng Features gyemeata,
