In some instances the concert series is limited to three outstanding events and in other places there are five or more attractions on the concert series. Connersville, for example, has three attractions in its community concert series.

They are: The internationally famous Boy choir, of Columbus, Ohio; William Schatskamer, bariton? erican ianist an Mac Morgan, noted community concerts at Seymour will open with Vir- 9rle and 4 vin gston.Gearhart, nationally famous piano-duo. Others who have been booked in the series include Susan singer, arid Michael Rhodes, outstanding young American baritone. 11 ft fil ancin tfa appearance of such artists is through sale of season tickets. By this arrangement the series comes within the reach of the average citemS the sum yielded will enable the booking of noted artists ea rg hasfn nferous fin attractions throughout the year but no concerted community effort is made to secure a series of outstanding events. o-ivl mmunit ncert series would, be possible here, if given the support of music groups, women's dubs and ciVic organizations.

Several boys, Paying could be heard scurrying about in the shadows and shrilly Judge Wennell recognized the harsh voice of Charlie Barger above 3 "Yoifforgot your newspaper," Elwood reminded his companion as they parted. "No matter," said Wennell. "I read all I cared to At the lodging house the judge retired immediately feeling rather cheerful about doing a favor for Putt.

Too much introspection, since the evening he found Halie's message, had disturbed his nights. He had become a fitful sleeper, waking each morning in a depressed mood. Tonight he fell asleep at once. An hour later he awoke with a start, recalling the wisp ot smoke rising from the sawdust in the wooden cuspidor where Putt had knocked out his pipe. He recalled, too, that he had dropped his newspaper near, or upon, the sawdust box.

He lay for a few minutes, wondering if that bit of fire could cause trouble At least, he thought, it could disrupt his rest. He dressed hastily and set out for the store. The street now was entirely deserted except for the boys, who were still at their tallyho game. He was within half a square of the store when he heard a voice yell "Fire!" Flame burst from the west window at the rear end ot the store. Thus ventilated, the interior roared.

Smoke began pouring from the eaves and through the roof. The judge thougkt of his own office on the second floor. He joined in the chorus of voices now yelling "Fire!" "There's a well behind the store," Charlie Barger shouted. "Get buckets, tubs, anything!" others demanded. The judge was among the first at the frantic and seemingly futile task of heaving water through the flaming window.

"There's cistern across the street," a boy celled out, and he led a group of the rapidly assembling citizens to it. The street was thronged in an incredibly brief time. Numerous sources of water supply were disclosed, together with tubs and containers of all kinds to fling at the fire. Joe Craig, pn the scene quickly, opened both front and back doors, permitting water to be carried inside and thrown upon the blazing wooden counters, on the floor and portions of the merchandise. The flames were prevented from reaching the ceiling.

It was a windless night. By midnight the last of the snaky tongues of flame in remote places had been extinguished, but not until the loss, according to Mr. Craig's estimate, had reached several hundred dollars. Among many theories advanced to account for the fire was that of arson. Judge Wennell, asked for his opinion, conceded that pipes or cigar-butts emptied into the sawdust cuspidors might have been the cause, but he concealed his guilty knowledge of such an instance.

Returning to his interrupted rest, he lay until nearly daylight thinking of the smouldering embers from Elwood's pipe of his own carelessness in doing nothing to avert that hazard. And worse, still, he remembered dropping his newspaper upon the box or close beside it. His self-condemnation remained acute at the breakfast table, but he kept it secret. To Be Continued Adams Club The Adams township Home Economics Club was in session Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles Patterson with Clarence Moeller assisting.
