I •>- --r. , , L E D G E R ENTRIES Being a Collection of Various Topics of Local and General Interest ^nd ATVTO SOLO VOLUME XXXX LOWELL, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1932 NO. 17 SMALL TOWN 18 NECESSARY T WO things huve come out of Uic ilepression (hot arc worth noting. The Inrxe centers of populntion have flis- covered that they cannot gel along without the country. The MIIUII connnunities have discov- ered that they can make their own life without much worrying concerning large cities. For IOIIK it was a hahit of hig cities to dis- play airs of superiority to the so- called "rural communities." They have pretended to helieve that the small town was passing into eclipse, and people would Hock to hig cities and make them more and more important and inllueu- tial. And, also, a lot of "coun- try" people, lured hy the glamor of the cities, have left the coun- tryside. They have discovered, many of them too late, that life in the smull communities have a thousand advantages not pos- sessed by large centers, and that the mush-room development of big cities has been a bad, not too good thing. Today the small city is taking on a new dignity and individuality. We see ev- erywhere the proof that the smull community is realizing its possibilities, forgetting to ape the manners of the more artiiicial "centers of population," and at- tending enthusiastically to the duty of building a destiny for it- self. As the small community be- comes strengthened, and as the farm community becomes more independent, the large city will prosper too. What we need in America is vitality of individual cfTort, and this is what the small city will give in the next genera- tion as it did in the past. The disillusioned folk who thought that the bright lights were what made life worth while, will be drifting back to the country, eager to capture, one again the peace, the sincerity, the integrity, the gladness that abides where neighborly comradeship is pos- sible. WILL PRY OFF FOOTBALL LID FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SEASON WILL BE USHER El) IN WITH GODWIN HEIGHTS BATTLING LOW- ELL—NEW COMERS IN LINE- UP. Life-long Resident Laid To Rest Here LOWELLS OPPORTUNITY O UH old friend John C. Wright, author of "The Crooked Tree" and other Indian historical novels, is of the opinion that many sections of Michigan do not at- tach enough importance to his- torical and legendary, material, especially regarding the early Indians, as a means of attracting tourists. "The resort business interests rightfully stress climate and scen- ery to draw summer residents, but they are passing up a strong talking point when •they do not give more attention to historical a n d legendary matters," Mr. Wright asserts. Mr. Wright is of Indian descent. From his grandmother's brother, who was a medicine man in the Ottawa tribe, he learned much of the early history of northern Michigan. Naming of iMIchigan goes back to the early Indian history, the author declares. The word Mich- igan is derived from the old Ot- tawa word Michiganing, meaning "old clearings," he states. These old clearings were garden plots and orchards of the Ottawas, be- tween Harbor Springs and Cross Village, where Wright was born. The clearings were landmarks along l^ake Michigan since many of them were located on the high blutrs overlooking the lake. It is Mr. Wright's suggestion that the old Indian landmarks be restored to their natural state and nn Indian museum established in each vicinity to preserve the In- dian lore. The editor of The I-edger and Mr. Wright were at one time co- workers on "Current School Top- ics," a well known school publi- cation, and we are of the opin- ion that there is food for thought in his suggestions. Lowell has much to appeal to tourists—lakes, streams, Indian lore and scenic beauties. We assert boldly that Lowell has not yet awakened to its greatest opportunity. Who is the prophet to lead us? The opening of the football sea- son will be ushered in Friday niidd at K o'clock when Godwin Heights will be entertained at Hecreation park. Many of the fans have been ask- ing just what sort of team lx)well will have and Coach Finch has given us the following informa- tion: Five regulars will prob- ably be in their places when the whistle blows Friday. These are Green, Hurras, Hergin, Hart- ley and Dinsen. Reserves who played in several games last year and who are available this year are McMahon, Schwacha, Lalley, Clark, Rutherford, Morse, Rick- ner, Houghton, Weaver and Doyle. In the preliminary practices Kyser, a new-comer from Alto and Irving Alexander look very good. In fuct this material is so promising that Mr. Finch does not know right now just what the starting line-up will be. The line will be green, but the heav- iest in years. The back-field will be fast and experienced and ac- cording to dope should go places. In looking over the schedule Mr. Finch predicts that the long string of consecutive victories will be broken. He figures that Lowell will lose at east 2 games. Of course we have heard him tell these bear stories before—he likes to think we are children at times—but this lime we really think that he is serious in his tale of woe. Ionia, Belding. Hast Grand Rapids, and Sparta all have veteran teams. Grand- ville, Fremont and Ix'e are also respected. Fremont has nine regulars in the field this year and has not lost a game in 3 years. Even Godwin IleiKhts is feared by Finch who remembers that this school surprised Fast Grand Rapids two years ago when East was humbled 14-0 in the opener. The Schedule Sept. 10—Godwin—here—night. Sept. 23—Lee—here—night. Sept. 30—Belding—there. Oct. R—Ionia—there. Oct. 14—Sparta—there. Oct. 21—Fremont—here—night. Nov. 4—East—here. Nov. 11—Grand ville—here. There will be four night games for the B team. Kllen Luella, daiiKhler of Bet- sey and Amos Bowen was born April 17, IMu and died Sent, II, 1032, at the home of her daimh- ter, Mrs. Ben Andrews, at the age of 07 years. All of her life has been spent in and around Lowell, where she leaves many friends. At the atu* of 10 she was united in marriage to Alphoiiso I,. PanL who departed this life eight years ago. To this union was born three children, Clillord Pant and Mrs. Jessie Andrews of Lowell and Mrs. Pmrl Gage of Muskegon. Besides her children she leaves one sister, Mrs. Ixitta Seeley of Wayne, and five grandchildren. Opal, Crystal, Donald and Mar- garet Pant of Lowell and Mts. Eileen Erickson of Muskegon. Funeral services were held at Roth Chapel Tuesday, with burial in the family lot at Oakwood. Rev. IS. B. Wenger was the offi- ciating minister. BRAVE DR. ANGUS LEN McLACH- I F THERE is any title for hero- ism or to honor a champion in rescuing persons from drown- ing, we imagine that Dr. Angus McLachlen, who recently rescued eight persons from l^ake Erie, near London, Ontario, is entitled to the award this year. It seems that on seven occa- sions, the young doctor swam from 100 to 150 yards into the rough lake, fighting a strange un dertow and rescuing eight bath- ers in distress. One after an- other came calls for help, some- times so close together that the doctor was barely able to get one victim to safety before plunging buck into the water. On two occasions he was busy applying artificial respiration to rescued persons when new calls for help were heard. Finally, on the seventh trip out. the doc- tor held up two swimmers until a life boat reached him and picked up the trio. Of the seven whose lives were saved only one was thoughtful enough to thank the man who had seven times risked his life for them. The thoughtful one was a 12-year-old girl. MAINTAIN MINSTREL TIONS TRADI- D AN QUINLAN who had been in the minstrel show busi- ness for 25 years, is one who believes minstrel shows are far from done. Perhaps that is one reason why I^owelrs Showboat met with such popular favor. Mr. Quinlan goes on to soy that "Min- strels are the only truly Ameri- can form of entertainment." They originated on the old southern plantations among the Negroes. All other types of entertainment had their birth in foreign coun- tries. "The tradition of the minstrels should be maintained, for when a minstrel show is supremely done it is the finest t y p e of light entertainment. Of course if it is badly done it is terrible." Anniversary Sale At Coons Store The Coons Clothing store has been established in Lowell just 40 years, and in celebration of this important anniversary will inaugurate a store-wide sale, be- ginning next Wednesday morn- ing. The Lowell Ledger will issue a 4-page extra next Tuesday con- taining a full announcemenl of the sale and the splendid bar- gains to be offered. This special edition will be mailed to every family within a wide radius. Be sure io watch for it and take ad- vantage of the opportunity to make big savings. The" Coons store has always had the reputa- tion of doing exactly as it adver- tises. Big Interest in So. Boston Fair The fair to be given at South Boston Grange hall on Friday, Sent. 23, is un assured success, judging from the interest shown by those who will make exhibits in competition for the big list of premiums offered. Mrs. Agnes Richardson, home demonstration agent, will judge the canned fruit and Prin. W. J. Smith will judge the agricultural exhibits. A literary program will be in charge of Marry Pow- ers. T w o of the best known singers in these ports, J. M. Town- send of Hastings, and W. W. Gumser of Lowell will lead in community singing and solos. A. W.

Here is a picture that is clean, sweet ami believable—a delicious comedy and wistful romance that should mean perfect entertainment for the entire family. "American Madness," the sensa- tional new drama starring Wal- ter Huston is also announced to start a three-day presentation next Wednesday. With a back ground of modern finance and banking this picture carries a dramatic punch seldom equalled and is creating quite a furore in urban centres. It is the first picture in several years to re- ceive a three-day showing at the Strand. Brucker Landslide, CAR COLLISION CAUSES DEATH GEO.

During July and August $148,608 was placed in the sanatorium build- ing fund. Ever Hear of River Co-cob-au-gwash? Wonder how many l^owell peo- ple ever heard of a river called "Co-cob-au-gwash." Probably not many, yet according to an old map dated 1835, called "Mitchell's Map of Michigan," our own Flat river is given that name. A spot marking the site of the present village of Lowell is disignated as "Kewa-goosh-cums." From now on if anyone should ask you to state where you hail from you will know the answer. The map referred to was seen recently by Clifford and Clark Morse while they were vacation- ing in Leelanau county. The map was in the possession of a man who was also vacationing in that county. Grand Bapids was not shown on the map. T CRUSADERS REBUKED HF Crusaders and the Wom- ans Organization for Pro- hibition Reform failed in their attempt to cast into the dis card several competent, honest, capable candidates whom they asked the electorate to defeat and place in their stead candidates whose main claim for support was their opposition to the 18th amendment. To the credit of thousands of "Wet" voters let it be stated that in most instances they supported proven men with- out regard to tliis particular is- sue. A candidate for political preferment must make a better brief for himself than the slogan "it's time for a change."

Bowne township went better than 12 to 1 for Brucker, who h a d 2(H) votes to 16 for Welsh. Bowne gave Mapes 182 to 33 for Conlon. Results are summarized bricfiy as follows: Republican Brucker for governor won in the state over Welsh by about 130.000. Welsh carried Grand Rapids by about 1,250; Brucker carried Kent county by about 2,890. Brucker has more voles in the state than Welsh and McKeighan combined. Luren 1). Dickinson defeated Sink for lieutenant governor by about 2 to 1. Carl E. Mapes won the congressional nomination over Ernest T. ('.onion by a most decisive margin having over 12,000 major- ity in Kent and Ottawa counties. James A. Skinner was renominated for state senator for this district without opposition.

Notes on the Election Brucker carried 76 of the slate's 83 counties. McKeighan car- ried Baraga, Genessee, Gladwin and Roscommon. Welsh had the edge in Wayne. Macomb and Dickinson. One of the surprising features of the primary is the vole re- ceived in Wayne County by Comstock, democratic nominee for governor. His party gave him almost as many votes as Repub- licans gave Brucker and Welsh combined. Throughout the state the Dems. made an impressive showing. McKeighan polled but 1,683 votes in Kent County. Quinlan 2,042, Bailey 275. Comstock polled 14,732 voles in Kent for the democratic nomination for governor. Maurice Post. Algoma township supervisor, is nominated for the stale legislature from the Third district by a nice margin ov- er his opponents. Supervisor Frank H.

Runciman. president of the Michigan Bean Jobbers Asso- ciation, predicts that the bean yield in this section will average KM) p e r cent better than last year. "We are in hopes that the price will improve materially," said Mr. Runciman, "Our association has gone on record in favor of higher bean prices and is doing all it can to bring this about. One advantage has been won for Michigan bean growers in the form of a reduction in the freight rates from shipping points in the state to the eastern canneries. This reduction brought about through the efforts of the tMichi- gan Rean Jobbers Association, will amount to from 12 to 15 cents per hundred." ON NOVEMBER BALLOT The name of N. C. Thomas, democratic candidate for county treasurer, was not on the ballot in September primary, due to the fact that he had no opposition. However, his name will appear on the ballot in November.

SMALL TOWN 18 NECESSARY
TWO things huve come out of Uic ilepression (hot a rc w o r t h noting. The Inrxe
cen te r s of populntion have flis-covered that they cannot gel along wi thout the coun t ry . The MIIUII connnuni t ies have discov-ered that they can make their o w n life wi thout much w o r r y i n g conce rn ing large cities. For IOIIK it was a hahit of hig cities to dis-play a i r s of super ior i ty to the so-called " ru ra l communi t ies ." They have pre tended to helieve that the small town was passing into ecl ipse, and people would Hock to hig ci t ies and make them more and more impor tant and inllueu-tial. And, also, a lot of "coun-t r y " people, lured hy the glamor of the cities, have left the coun-t rys ide . They have discovered, m a n y of them too late, that life in the smull communi t ies have a thousand advantages not pos-sessed b y large centers , and that the mush- room development of big cities has been a bad, not too good thing. Today the small c i ty is taking on a new digni ty a n d individual i ty . We see ev-e r y w h e r e the proof that the smull communi ty is realizing its possibil i t ies, forget t ing to ape the m a n n e r s of the more artii icial " c e n t e r s of populat ion," and at-t end ing enthusias t ica l ly to the du ty of building a dest iny for it-self . As the small communi ty be-comes s t rengthened, and as the f a r m communi ty becomes more independen t , the large ci ty will p r o s p e r too. What we need in America is vitali ty of individual cfTort, and this is wha t the small c i t y wil l give in the next gene ra -t ion as it d id in the past. T h e dis i l lus ioned folk who thought that the bright lights were w h a t m a d e life w o r t h while , will be d r i f t i n g back to the coun t ry , e a g e r to capture, one again the peace , the s incer i ty , the in tegr i ty , the gladness that abides w h e r e ne ighbor ly comradesh ip is pos-s ib le .

Life-long Resident Laid To Rest Here
L O W E L L S OPPORTUNITY
OUH old f r iend J o h n C. Wr igh t , au thor of "The Crooked T r e e " and o the r Indian his tor ica l
nove ls , is of the opinion that m a n y sec t ions of Michigan do not at-t a c h enough impor tance to his-to r ica l and legendary, mater ia l , especia l ly regard ing the ear ly Ind ians , as a means of a t t r ac t ing tour is ts .
" T h e resor t business in te res t s r igh t fu l ly s t ress cl imate and scen-e r y to d r a w summer res idents , but they a re passing up a s t rong ta lk ing point when •they do not g ive more a t tent ion to h is tor ica l a n d legendary ma t t e r s , " Mr. Wr igh t asser ts .
Mr. Wright is of Indian descent . F r o m his g randmothe r ' s b ro the r , w h o was a medicine man in the O t t a w a tr ibe, he l ea rned much of the ear ly h i s tory of n o r t h e r n Michigan .
Naming of iMIchigan goes back to the ear ly Indian h i s to ry , the a u t h o r declares . T h e w o r d Mich-igan is der ived f r o m the old Ot-t a w a w o r d Michiganing, mean ing "o ld c lear ings ," he states. These o ld c lear ings were ga rden plots a n d o r c h a r d s of the Ot tawas , be-tween Harbor Spr ings and Cross Village, w h e r e Wright was b o r n . T h e c lear ings w e r e l a n d m a r k s a long l^ake Michigan s ince m a n y of them w e r e located on the high blutrs over looking the lake.
It is Mr. Wrigh t ' s suggest ion tha t the old Indian l a n d m a r k s be res to red to thei r na tu ra l s ta te and nn Indian museum es tabl ished in e a c h vicini ty to p rese rve the In-d i an lore.
The edi tor of T h e I-edger a n d Mr. Wright were at one t ime co-w o r k e r s on "Cur ren t School Top-ics," a well known school publ i -ca t ion , and w e a re of the op in-ion that there is food for thought in his suggestions. Lowel l has much to appeal to tour is ts—lakes , s t r eams , Indian lore and scenic beaut ies .
We asser t boldly that Lowel l h a s not yet awakened to i ts grea tes t oppor tun i ty .
W h o is the prophe t to lead u s ?
T h e opening of the football sea-son will be ushered in Fr iday niidd at K o'clock when Godwin Heights will be en te r ta ined at Hecreation park . Many of the fans have been ask-
ing just wha t sort of t eam lx)well will have and Coach Finch has given us the fo l lowing in fo rma-t ion : Five regula rs will prob-ably be in the i r places when the whis t le b lows Fr iday . These a re Green, Hurras, Hergin, Har t -ley and Dinsen. Reserves who played in several games last year a n d w h o a re available this year a r e McMahon, Schwacha , Lalley, Clark, R u t h e r f o r d , Morse, Rick-ner , Houghton , Weaver and Doyle.
In the p re l imina ry pract ices Kyser , a new-comer f rom Alto and Irving Alexander look very good. In fuct this mater ia l is so promis ing that Mr. F inch does not know right n o w just wha t the s ta r t ing l ine-up will be. T h e line will be green , but the heav-iest in years . The back-field will be fast and exper ienced and ac-cord ing to dope should go places.
In looking over the schedule Mr. Finch predic ts that the long s t r ing of consecut ive vic tor ies wil l be b roken . He figures that Lowell will lose at east 2 games. Of course w e have hea rd h im tell these bea r s tor ies before—he likes to th ink we a re ch i ld ren at t imes—but this lime w e really think that he is ser ious in his tale of woe. Ionia, Belding. Hast Grand Rapids, and Spar ta all have ve teran teams. Grand-ville, F remont and Ix'e a re also respected. Fremont has n ine regulars in the field th is year and has not lost a game in 3 years . Even Godwin IleiKhts is feared by Finch w h o remembers that this school su rp r i sed Fast Grand Rapids t w o years ago w h e n East was humbled 14-0 in the opener .
T h e Schedule Sept. 10—Godwin—here—night . Sept. 23—Lee—here—night . Sept. 30—Belding—there. Oct. R—Ionia—there. Oct. 14—Sparta—there. Oct. 21—Fremont—here—night . Nov. 4—East—here . Nov. 11—Grand vi l le—here. The re will be four night games
for the B team.

At the atu* of 10 she was united in mar r i age to Alphoiiso I,. P a n L w h o depar ted this l ife eight years ago. T o this union was bo rn three ch i ld ren , Clillord Pant and Mrs. Jessie Andrews of Lowell and Mrs. P m r l Gage of Muskegon.

Funera l services w e r e held at Roth Chapel Tuesday , wi th bur ia l in the family lot at Oakwood. Rev. IS. B. Wenger was the offi-c ia t ing minis ter .
BRAVE DR. ANGUS LEN
McLACH-
IF T H E R E is any ti t le fo r hero-ism or to honor a champion in rescuing persons f r o m d r o w n -
ing, w e imagine that Dr. Angus McLachlen, who recent ly rescued eight persons f rom l^ake Er ie , nea r London, Ontar io , is ent i t led to the a w a r d th is year .
It seems that on seven occa-s ions , the young doctor s w a m f r o m 100 to 150 ya rds in to the rough lake, fighting a s t r ange un d e r t o w and rescuing eight ba th -e r s in dis t ress . One a f t e r an-o t h e r came calls f o r help, some-times so close together that the doc to r was bare ly able to get one vict im to safety be fo re p lunging buck in to the wate r .
On two occasions he w a s busy apply ing artificial r esp i ra t ion to rescued persons w h e n n e w calls fo r he lp were hea rd . F ina l ly , on the seventh t r i p out . the doc-tor held up two s w i m m e r s unt i l a l ife boat reached h im and picked up the t r io .
Of the seven whose lives were saved only one w a s though t fu l enough to thank the man who had seven t imes r isked his life f o r them. T h e though t fu l one was a 12-year-old girl .
MAINTAIN MINSTREL TIONS
TRADI-
DAN QUINLAN w h o had been in the mins t re l s h o w busi-ness for 25 years , is one who
believes minst re l s h o w s a r e fa r f r o m done. Pe rhaps that is one reason w h y I^owelrs Showboa t met with such popular f avor . Mr. Quinlan goes on to soy that "Min-s t re ls a re the only t ru ly Ameri-can fo rm of en t e r t a inmen t . " T h e y or iginated on the old sou the rn p lanta t ions among the Negroes. All o ther types of en te r t a inmen t had their b i r th in fore ign coun-tries.
"The t radi t ion of the mins t re l s should be main ta ined , f o r when a minstrel show is supremely done it is the finest type of light en te r t a inmen t . Of cou r se if it is badly done it is t e r r ib le . "

TO GROW BANANAS ANYWHERE
Tropical f ru i t s , such as bananas , and semi-tropical f ru i t , such as g rape f ru i t , oranges
and lemons, m a y soon be growing in North-
ern cl imates, accord ing to an epoch-making
discovery in plant breeding recently an-
nounced at Cornell University d u r i n g the In-
ternat ional Congress of genetics.
As a result of the s tudy m a d e by Dr. T. D.
Lyssenko, the cross ing of variet ies of seeds
requir ing di f ferent per iods of vegetation is
declared possible. Th i s polnta the way fo r
the creat ion of m a n y new variet ies of f ru i t
and o the r foods and the s ame process of
shor ten ing the period of g rowth makes pos-
sible the movement n o r t h w a r d of Southern
f rui t , vegetables and flowers. Moreover, Dr. Lyssenko f o u n d simple
physiological me thods of t r ans fe r r ing cer-
tain win te r variet ies into spr ing varieties
and late varieties into early ones by a treat-
ment of the seeds be fo re sowing. T h e discover}' thus announced would have
incalenable economic significance through-
out the wor ld if it proves practical . For
example , there might be developed new food
plants to al lure the f avor of mank ind . More-
over, the possibility of t r ans fe r r ing the habi-
tat of t ropical flora n o r t h w a r d would have
vast results . — o — o —
HUNCHES COME TO BUSY MINDS
There a re many people w h o lay great
stress upon " h u n c h e s " o r intuitive flashes of
genius. They have, it seems, some basis to
jus t i fy their belief. Some t ime ago P r o f . Ross A. Baker sub-
mit ted a ques t ionnai re to 1,500 research
worke r s to ascertain their opinion of such
" inspira t ion." T h e i r answers showed that
hunches came to m a n y of them while walk-
ing to work , fishing, bathing, d r e a m i n g o r
relaxing a f t e r d inner . Organic chemists ,
part icular ly, were given to re lying upon
kind ot instinct rather than upon cold logic
in selecting promis ing vistas f o r f u r t h e r p u r
suit. However , let no lazy reader of T h e Lowell
Ledger get the w r o n g idea. Such flashes
do not i l luminate da rkened minds . Ra the r
do they come only a f t e r deep concentra t ion
It seems that the menta l powers cont inue to
work on p rob lems a f t e r the conscious m i n d
has pu t them aside, and, occasionally, the
earnest s tudent is happi ly surpr i sed by a
sudden " E u r e k a " to the bra in .
HOARDED MONEY BENEFITS NO ONE
A cer ta in m a n dur ing his eighty years of
life saved up $40,000 which he hoarded in
tobacco cans, h iding them about his shacky
home. He denied himself the c o m f o r t s of
life, robbed his f ami ly of necessities as well
as pleasures and rea l living, held himself
aloof f r o m his fe l lowmen, had noth ing in
c o m m o n wi th neighbors , had no c o m m u n i t y
interest . He jus t existed in a self-centered,
sub-normal pursu i t of more money , which
as he used it, was not wor th as m u c h as a
single smile, an apple in the hands of a hun-
gry child, or a bit of finer}- f o r some wor thy
girl. Then his shack caught fire, and his
$10,000 went up in smoke. Money is value-
less if it is not used. Put y o u r money in a
bank, or invest it. Pu t it to use.—Kansas

W H Y T H E A V E R A G E H O M E WILL NOT D O
WK ABK llTing In a world of dmnge. IncreaBed knowledge
in tver realm has moved us all up forward. Better knowledge and underatandlng of factors Involved baa given UB Improvement in every realm. It la ao In industry. It Is so in buslnesa. It la ao In educa-tion. It is so In boy training. It !• so In home making. The old of even one generation ago. will no longer do. The extreme aimplicity of life and relationships character-istic of the homes of a generation ago, has given way to complexity and expansion of contacts that la well nigh manreloua.
In this connection three sig-nificant facta must be taken Into conalderatlon, that are far reaching In their influence.
Women everywhere, molhert, sre no lonfrr happy lo make their home concemi and reiponil-bilitiei their only • occupation. Women are tleppinK out in the world to mrh ar- eitenl that home U a different place, and who ii there but will tay it is a iplendid thini for all concerned.
The aecond major change which has come about Is the rapidly dis-appearing notion that man la su-perior and a self appointed king in his own domain. A broad, new democracy haa come and home as never before. If it survives at all, la much more of a democracy. In the third place youth (boya) are txperlenclng a freedom from old raatralnta and Inhibitiona which threatena to awing aa far away from all aenae of parental conttol
as It was formerly under abaoluts domination. So that the three fac-tors which are the basis of home life, fathers, mothers and children have undergone such a radical change that a whole new start must be made and upon a broad new baals.
Out of these changes haa come a fourth fact, which is one of tha most encouraging signs of the times, namely, a brand new and very genuine reverence for peraou-allty. even In youth. Out of tha general change we have come to have a new regard for the Inalien-able rlgbta of every member of tha houaehold. ao that It may be readily seen there Is a broad, new basla for a type of actual home partner-ship that was never even guessed at before.
In the old home mother was edu-cator, cook, dressmaker and doctor, while father was the provider and held the money bag. Father was the "contractor" with the big. busy world and brought auch contacts aa he would to the home circle. Vow we turn on the radio and everything from political propa-ganda to church aervicea a»-e In-stantly available. A ten-mile drive In a horse and buggy used to take folks to the end of their world— now the whole family make a two or three hundred mile trip In the auto In a day to visit grandma. The whole family outlook and ex-perience Is brand new; consequent-ly • whole new family life and philosophy mast be evolved. Have you faced those facta frankly?

which commemoratea one of the moat remarkable storlea of desper-a te valor In all fronUer history. It marks the spot wlrere Pnt Henneaay bravely faced odds of 800 to 1 and true to the fronUer code, "sold hie life dearly.'*
Pat was an old-Ume Fort Sill freighter, and In the spring of 1676 was on bis way from Caldwell. Kan., to the fort with a wagon train. He was accompanied by three other men. When "Jumped" by a crowd of some 300 Cheyenne warriors, his companions became confused and tried to escape north along the trail. Immediately they were surrounded and cut down.
In the meanUme Hennessy had aought shelter among some rocks— a little natural fortress, from which his rifle menaced the savages as they approached. Confident in their overwhelming numbers, the Cheyennes swept forward to within 20 yards of Pat 's stronghold. Rest-ing his rifle on the rock In front of him and not taking the trouble to aim, he cocked It with one hand and pulled the lever and trigger with the other. A conUnuous hail of bul-lets poured Into the mass of sav-ages. They broke and retreated.
But they came back again—this Ume In front and at both sides.
Failing In this they tried an-other frontal attack and surged up to within ten feet of the white man, who fired his revolver point-blank into taelr faces until he had emptied I t Picking up his rlfie again, he continued to fire. And then—the gun Jammed 1
The rlfie had become so hot and dirty from constant firing that a cartridge stnek fast and bis desper-ate elforts to extricate It were use-less. In another moment the In-dians would have been retreating. But when the firing stopped, they believed bis ammunition was ex-hausted and pressed forward. Hen-nessy met them with dubbed rlfie, but the surging mass overpowered him. Infuriated by the toll he had extracted, for 30 Cheyennes lay dead on the ground, they scalped him, tied him to the wheel of one of hia wagons, emptied sacks of oata around him, and set them on fire. For a few minutes there was a writhing figure surounded by flames and then the spirit of Pat Hennessy passed on to that Valhalla reaervedl for warriors who know how to die bat not how to aurrender.

Famous Beauty Expert J Impor tance of H e a l t h
WOMEN are tired of Pollyanna talks and skeptical of the ser-
mons "beauty is as beauty does" and "to be beautiful yon must be In love." Vibrant beauty depends on many things for support The very first Ic the line of Important con-tributors Is physical health. For without health beauty can at best be only temporary—It may last for a fleeting moment or fo r a month, but It cannot live long.
You cannot be beautiful if you are not healthy. Have you ever seen a man or woman suffering from ill health who did not wear the "give awaya"—dull eyes and a heavy akin? Sooner or later "the skin will show." For the signs of ill health are not con-fined to inner achea and pains.
You cannot be beautlfol If you are fatigued, for "that tired feeling" does damage in many ways. Allow It to become chronic and It Is sure to dlin the sparkle in your eyes, rob your step of Its spryness. Fa-tigue can claim more credit for "pre mature age" than all the calendars and chronological records man ever invented to mark time. As you value a smooth, young skin and sparkling eye. avoid fatigue. Two of fatigue's busiest assistants are overwork and nervous strain and tension. So steer d e a r of these, too.
Boredom is another arch-enemy of beauty. Be It but the mood of a moment It Is bad enough. But per-petual boredom Is dynamite to bub-bling Interested beauty. When life goes blase, when there's no joy in living, no thrill of anticipation or hope, nothing to anything, then the luminous, vivid quality of the skin Is suddenly shut out and all bodily beauty goes "smash.**
Akin to boredom Is a general, dis-interested attitude or a gloomy as-pec t People who have hobbles to concentrate on, usually find the fa tes quite kind to their beauty. 1 think that Is why they say people In love are lovely.
The actual cnltlvaUon of external beanty—silky akin and glossy hair —la simple—particularly In this day and age when science Is contribut-ing so lavishly. But that Inner peace and contentment, the beauty within that seems to shine right through the outer covering Is often dlfllcnlt to hold on to. But with courage—with Interest and an-thualasm—with hope—beautiful and optlmlsUc thought*—In a word a healthy mind and a healthy body one haa a high bid for "that lovely look." it, llll.

Who was Who? By LOUISE M. COMSTOCK
JOHNNY APPLESEED
A BELOVED legend of our days of westward expansion Is the
story of Jonathan Chapman, known to every settler along the Pennsyl-vania and Ohio frontier, and In much literature since, a s Johnny Ap-pleaeed. It was his life mission to plant along the paths newly hewn Into the wilderness apple trees to give welcome shade and refreshing fruit to the hordes to come. He was nn eccentric figure, aurely, with sacks of apple seeds salvaged each autumn from the elder mills, but the small boys of the frontier re-garded him ton highly to mock at him and even the Indians esteemed him, allowed him to wander at will unmolested and made It possible for him more than once to give the alarm for an Impending attack.
Johnny Appleseed was born In Springfield. Mass.. In 1708, son of a Revolutionary veteran and a graduate of Harvard. He traveled for a time In Virginia as a Sweden-borgian missionary, and later with his brother joined the tide of migra-tion west of the Alleghanlea. One version of the legend has It that he combined In his wanderings his philanthropic purpose with a vain search for a lost sweetheart from whom he had been separated when she and her family joined one of the first expeditions to the west.
However that may be. It waa at Pittsburgh, then a mere cluster of log cabins, that Johnny Appleseed was stnick by the absence of frnlt trees and commenced the life work which gave him his name. He died near Fort Wayne, Ind.. In 1847.

Every American child should be worth $32,000 before he comer of age.
Dentists say that every good tooth In an adult mouth is worth $1,000 We should have thirty-two.
Some of us have only a few Others have none. But if our chil dren a re g l ' en the right food and are taught to clean their teet t regularly, they will have all thirty-two teeth when they grow up. and will have to see a dentist only occaclonally
If they do not realize the valu* of good teeth, it will probahl cost them even more than $32.0rt( dollars. It may cost them theh lives Serious rompliw.Mcni— often fatal i t ies—result from in fected. unclean teeth The v fare of the entire body is threat-ened.

Childhood diseases often develop because the body has been weak ened by bad teeth Sonie:Ur.es children are labeled stupid or in-competent simply becaase foul mouths have poisoned their sys-tems.
It today's children a re not taught month hygiene, the teeth of tomorrow's adul ts will not be sound. All the dentists In the United States, working twenty-four hours a day, cannot care f c r the had teeth that there will be.
But If a child is taught that he his own best dentist , and is given the proper food, bis teeth prob-lems will be largely solved. If he learns to clean bis teeth regular-ly and to eat wholesome foods, he will be healthier and happier all through life.

Remember When
Rustles were all the go? Some made them out of rags, some were wire , and what a nuisance they were , coming loose and letting the skirt down. Becausc Ihe skirt was longer in the back in order to hang even wi th the bustle in place and the skirl would wipe u p
II Ihe dirt on Ihe sidewalk. What a time we had t ry ing to keep in style.
And Ihe rat in our hair—the bigger Ihe rat . Ihe more in style. How it would make your hair puff out iii f ron t , a n d then w e had to snar l it on Ihe side under-neath the ha i r to match the ton, and it would be one big pull' all a round your head, then the more graceful you would look; and don' t mention hot . it surely was
the summer lime with your hair all puffed up. Sometimes your head would feel like a bal-loon and would look like one. but that w a s style, and we all looked alike, (us girls) , I mean.
And the bathing suits, double skir ts lo Ihe knee and sleeves to the elbow, and the neck so small, you could hardly pull them over your head, and they fit so tight iround the neck you could hard-ly b rea the . Rut n o w , oh my, they have shrunk and shrunk to noth-ing and grown smaller and small-er.

And the divided skirls and bi-cycles galore. There were lots of bicycle clubs then, and what good times we did have, making tr ips lo small t owns nearby, boys and girls. After the crowd gath-ered at the meeting place we would r ide t w o and two. till Ihere was a long string going in Ihe same direct ion. If the boys had a dollar hill in their pocket it would mean to us girls an eve-ning long to be remembered, and a $5.00 bill would last the boys a month then.
And you never heard of a girl getting mar r i ed under the age of 20 years then.
And Ihe milk man, he would dr ive up to the curb and the big white horse would never miss a customer. He would just go f rom one door to the next, and the milk man would ring a hell, and out you would run with a pi tcher in your hand. He had two big cans sitt ing in front of him and how w e would love to watch the milk run f rom a faucet ; he would fill the quart dipper and then t r ans fe r it to your p i tcher ; and if your mother received word company was coming, then you would be stat ioned on the f ron t door s tep to hail Ihe first milk man that came along, (not many porches then) , and oh. thai was such ha rd work , lo sit on the f ront door s tep and watch the children across the street playing and having a good time and call-ing fo r you to join them, and it seemed as though he would never come; and w e would play out in the middle of the street as there were no automobiles to knock the chi ldren down in those davs.
Max SchnielinR, German hcavy-wright and former world champion, returns to the U. S. for a battle with Mickey Walker, his first start since losing the title to Jack Sharkey of Boston. Max thinks he can regain his crown.
And the Hokey Pokey man w e n l along Ihe middle of the street with a big sign on his wagon and r inging a bell and we would run out and give him 5c for a hig chunk of f rozen milk, maybe il was the only 5c mother had fo r a loaf of bread, but all we could think of w a s that hig piece of f rozen mi lk : but was it good. Oh my, we thought so. then.
And then. Carrie Nation. How we would love to read what she was doing, all the time af ra id some one would kill h e r : and courage, if any one had courage, it was she, and such a small, lit-tle lady wi th glasses on, how we would love to look at her picture, because she did such big things with her little hatchet ; then we would wonder w h y some more women wouldn ' t help he r as we read how she would break the hig plate glass windows of the saloon and go in and knock mir-rors and glasses all over till the pic ture looked as Ihongh Rarnum A Bailey's c ircus hail entered to sec what they could find. Well, she little k n e w her work would lead to bigger things.

During tbe past sumnier, the num-ber ot transatlantic liners having radio telephone service with North American points while the vessels are at sea has doubled. The addi-tion ot s t i vessels ot tbe North German Lloyd and tLd Hamburg American lines brings tbe fleet of liners so equipped to a round dozen

The flrst ot tbe vessels to be re-cently included in tbe servloe was the S. S. Deutschland, which was added to the telephone-equipped fleet early In May. On Jane 7 the Bremen was added to the list, fol-lowed within a few days by Its sister ship, tbe Europe. During tbe next four weeks tbe Steamshipa Albert Ballln, Hamburg, and New York were Included In the service. In the order named.
Voices Switched to Land Lines The apparatus on all six of these
liners Is owned and operated by D. E. B. E. G.. the German radio operating company. A voice spoken into a special sbip-to-sbore tele phone on any of the vessels while en route to or from this country speeds by short wave radio to the Forked River receiving station of the A. T. and T. Company. Here ihe radio waves are demodulatPd and the voice waves pass over land wires and cables to the control room In the new i /mg Di»ianr«> Kullding at 32 Sixth Avenue. New York At
I this point the ship to shore operator
routes tbe call over the appropriate long distance line to Its destination.
The answering voice follows the same route back through tbe Long Distance Building In New York City, thence traveling over land wires and cables to tbe shlp-to-shore transmitting station at Ocean Gate. N. J. There, by means ot dlreo-tlonal antenna aimed at the sblp'a course, the voice Is dispatched by short wave radio to the liner as It plows through the waters ot the North Atlantic.
Service Was Begun In 1929
The flrst vessel to be equipped for reguiar commercial shlp-to-sbore telephone lervlfe was the Mvla* than, n «r!cb service was extended on December 8. 1929. Tbe following Spring the »rrvicf .var extended to he Majestic. Olympic, and Homeric

Gelling out a paper is no pic-nic:
If w e publish original mat ter , they say w e lack variety.
If w e publish things f rom o ther papers , we are too lazy to wr i te .
If w e stay on our job, we ought lo be out rustl ing news.
If we don' t pr int cont r ibut ions , we don' t show proper appreci -ation.
If we do print them, the paper is filled wi th " junk ."
Like as not, some fellow will say we swiped this f rom ano the r paper. He's r ight—we did.

oul and he negleded his books. The task before him loomed like
a mountain of lead. Of a sudden John Breen lost his
hold on the job ahead. He tore off his green shade, slipped on his coat, caught his cap and s tar ted out of the door, walking down
Ihe s tairs as if in a t rance. Out through the black wicket
of Ihe dorms, down Ihe long, wet blnck-paved avenue, below the naked, windswept arches of the great ca thedra l r ising gaun t and massive aginst the dull o range of the midnight sky, lit by a billion dis tant city lamps, rellected d o w n w a r d from the cloudy vault. It was raining, and this seemed lo fit his mood. On and on.-away f rom books, away f rom tasks and taskmasters , and away f rom his drudging, gr inding self, he truged. He turned down Fi f th Avenue, and ran easily on Ihe ha rd gravel, close to the low coping of gran-ite. Al For ty-ninth street he tu rned east to Third Avenue, and still doglrol led on toward the south. Policemen, llattened in doorways , look him for a home-bound watchman, o r night work-er , runn ing lo escape the ra in .
As he ncarcd the Bowery, a s t range fatigue came over him. He slowed lo a walk. Chills seized his f r ame . His teeth chat-tered. H e began to run again; pain in h is joints filled h im with tor ture . He continued his pace, doggedly, passing be low Ihe deep shadow of Cooper Union, w h e r e he had spent such marvel-ous nights, where his soul had glimpsed Ihe bigness of the uni-verse. F o r a while he forgot Ihe shoot ing pains and rushed ahead, wild wi th sudden desire .
II was a f t e r one- th i r ty when he passed Ihe Clolhing Emporium. He searched f o r the n a m e of Lip-vitch in faded let ters. He thought of knocking at the door , slopped fo r a moment, and then in new gill let ters he saw the words.
'Wodelyouhave, doughnuts or
p i e?" Ihe man asked. "Hold on," John hastened lo
warn him, "I 'm Hal. Haven' t a
red cent wi lh me. But—" "Thought so." in te r rup ted the
man behind the counter , "but scc'n ye r so damn honest, have a couple s inkers ." and he passed
the r ings to John. Thanks ," John munched the
doughnuts ravenously. Don't mention il. Keep the
change." The sleepy lunch ca r man settled comfortably on his
perch . "I ' l l send the money down to-
mor row." Send il? Bats! I took this
job al supper, an ' I'm quil l in al breakfas t . The guy what owns it's marr ied an ' home sleepin* wid his wife. Damn glad you wa'n ' t no stick-up. Get Ihe hell oul o ' here an ' let me sleep."
John Breen again went into the wet. He looked at the r iver . A shudder of t e r ror came over h im. He turned and ran wes tward , the wa rmth of Ihe coffee gradual ly wear ing away. But as he chil led he knew that he had lo keep go-ing, he caught his second wind , he knew that he was heading fo r
the dorms .

The doctor looked aboul."Bight. Complete rest, and a change. Gel him oul of this." He nodded forceful ly at the room and its furnishings.
"Have you Mr. Van tHorn's ad-d re s s?" Harboard asked of the super intendent . "I think he had better be advised."
Josephine l^unber l was en joy-ing one of he r per iods of re l i re -ment, l imes when she sought se-clusion, limes when she look her -self wilh elaborate seriousness. Il was past ten in the evening; she
was absorbed in the l i fe s tory of Marie Bashkirlseff . Her long lashes, dark in contrast wi th he r
hair, gave he r an air of s tudy, a bare knee peeped f rom the wh i t e folds of her gown, a pink roguish knee. Her feet w e r e doubled under her.
Josephine was reading the strange will of Marie Bashkir lseff . "I do not th ink \ have ever had any base, interested, depraved thoughts. It is rare ly that one can say this, but in my case il is true.
On the night Josephine w a s reading Bashkirtseff , and la ter on leisurely prepar ing fo r bed, John Breen was coming lo the breakaway wilh his overload of study. Josephine lingered in the warmth of her bedroom, a fire burning in Ihe grate. Aunt Wen had gone to bed but Josephine was very much awake.
She had taken John Breen ' s photograph from Van H o r n ' s room, the one in short fighting trunks, his right fist guarding his abdomen, his left advanced, his eyes straight ahead, a stiff pom-padour rising f rom his forehead.

It was ten o'clock in the fore- John had a look of the most in-
noon when the grayhai red dormi-tory maid entered John Breen ' s room. Damp clolhing hung over
the cha i r near his bed, and John , in fevered slumber, tossed in his blankets . He had re tu rned at daybreak and throwing off his clothes rolled into his bed half lead wilh exhaust ion.
Harboard , on his way to an ea r ly seminar , s lopped lo inves-tigate. John ' s door was open, the maid was talking volubly, the hall super in tendent and a young doctor , a great bulk of a man,
bent over the bed. " B a d ? " asked Harboard anx-
iously. "Feve r and exhaust ion." The
solent confidence on his deter-mined face.
Josephine looked at John ' s pic-lure. She smiled. Put t ing il on her dresser she dropped he r robe and stood before the lall m i r r o r s ; for a moment she assumed the pose of Ihe fighter. "I s t r ip neat, myself," she murmured , col-oring. And then she slipped in-to her pa jamas and jumped into the big bed under Ihe canopy.
Her hand reached for the light switch. She looked over at the photograph. "Young prize fighter, I'd have you dizzy, if you were here." And then she laughed. What would Marie Bashkirtseff have done, wilh a fighter?

Heading, Dorothy Scott; remarks , a plea to perpcluiilc Ihe Warne r family reunion, Karl Curtiss.
"An Inventory of the War-ners ," by l e v a n t Rears of Ik lab. Mich.; congratulat ions and good wishes lo Aunt Nellie Mc-Carty (iMrs. Nate) who celebrated her H9th bir thday anniversary , Sept. 4th; " R i d i o Jingos," by Dr. Cecil Warne r ; poem, "Hound Table of the Warners ," by Dr. M.

The Round Table of the Warners History says in Ten sixty six. Old England was in an awful fix: The Norman knights and their
lender Hill Crossed Ihe channel nnd the King
did kill.
On Hastings Held Ihe batt le was fought ,
Hut the strength of ihe Saxon was as nought
For al eventide when day was done,
Saxon was licked and the Nor-mans won;
King Harold was dead, h is a rmy in flight,
William the Conqueror was King that night.
Now in Ibis band were men called La Warne ,
Who, by bold deeds, the i r spurs did ea rn ;
S taunch and t rue as were knighls of old
They served Iheir king and wi lh hea r t s so bold.
Won the ladies that each did pr ize
And raised their families under English skies.
F o r many years these Norman men
Worked with sword, or plow, or pen
In mer ry England's woods and fields
And fought her bat t les wi th lance and shields.
Norman wed Saxon and their blood mingled
And thus the English race was kindled.
name wi th La Warne was 1 French accent
So the L a was dropped by mu-tual consent :
An R was added lo make Warne longer
And thus La Warne became just Warner ,
The name of a race of English b i r th
Destined lo spread a round lb ear th .
In the 17lh century people were tired
Of the King's harsh rule, and the men he hired
Were so oppressive in the i r de-mands
That folks left England in lillle bands;
And seeking their f reedom in countries new
They sailed lo America across the blue.
II was then that the Warne r s as of old
Left their homes and wi lh hearts so bold
Renounced the country of their b i r th
And sailed half way a round the ear th
To the shores of f reedom, whose welcoming land
Awaited the coming of this brave band.
S torms, wrecks, and dangers of a wild rocky shore ;
Forests , r ich fields and wild game galore;
and ban! win-
1
Hunger and ha rdsh ip and ter ' s bleak cold:
Iron, copper, and silver, and mines of gold;
Sickness nnd death and Indian massacre;
Riches and plenty and sudden disaster .
These forebears of ours possessed hear ts of steel
To conquer this land wi lh its dangers so real.
And hand down lo us its im-mense wealth.
Devoid of hardships and danger-our stealth
Of wild beast and Indian, and power of Kings:
What a lot lo be thankfu l for , all of these things.
The bold fighting spiri t of Nor-man Knight
Fil led all the Warne r s in Wars fo r the right.
In seventy-six, in Washington 's battles
The Warners were there amid bullets rattles.
For freedom's cause they gave their s trength
That liberty should live and be ours at length.
In s ixty-four when Sherman swore
His well known words about the w a r
Our own grandfa ther , you will all agree
Was in that famous march to the sea.
That this great country united should be,
Both North and South, a land of . the free.
In Seventeen w h e n the Kaiser said
Me und Goll, and wen t wrong in the head
And tried to conquor both land and sea
He stepped on the toes of this land of the f ree .
Wilson called on the youth of the nat ion;
The Warners answered wi th ap-probat ion.
Some joined the navy to fight on the sea.
Some donned the khaki in our army.
And it wasn't long wi th our lads in F rance
That Ihe Kaiser saw that he d taken a chance
And missed the mark by a mile or more ;
The Germans w e r e licked by an awful score.
And now w e r e engaged in a ter-rible light , . „ i
Wilh old man depression in all of h i i might.
The Warners are there in the midst of Ihe din.
Taking Ihe b lows right on the ch in :
Not ball ing an eye, nor shaking n knee;
Its the spirit of Knighthood in the blood you see.
And now comes a pause in the wor ld ' s great strife,
We ' re gathered here with fork and knife
To partake of a feast of good things galore . . , ,
Just as he did at grandfather s of yore.
It's the Warne r reunion w e r e here lo a t tend
May they cont inue forever world without end.
HeunionsI What are they? Why each year
T h e kith and kin f rom f a r and
Renew old f r iendships and knit old lies
Of love and kinships that never
, • >.1 Youth and old age mingle with
Reun ions make everyone just girls and boys.
There are cha i r s that are empty. it appears
Once filled by dear faces in by gone years ;
But Ihe loved ones who ve gone to Ihe other shore
Are wi lh us In spiri t , as in days of yore.
Thei r voices are silent; H a r k . can ' t you h e a r
Thei r spiri ts glad greeting and message of cheer.
New faces are with us, some we've not seen
Before, at r eun ions ; the babes of our kin.
Old l ime fiies before us al a ler-terible pace
Waving his scythe right in our face ;
Hours seem moments, years pass like davs ;
They' l l "ooti fill our places, God bless Ihem always.
And n o w that we've feasled, en-joyed fo r a day
The love of aunts, uncles, and cousins so gay.
We'll re turn to life's duties, lis work and its strife,
Wilh new inspirat ion, a new hope in life
We'll hold a reunion next year on Ibis shore
And il won ' t be the last one, we know there ' l l be more.
May God bless the Warners , each one of the clan
Those here, and those absent , ev-ery woman and man.
T h e boys a n d the girls, may He prosper each one
And in life's great battles lo each say "Wel l done,"
And receive us in Heaven when life's work is o'er
To the one great reunion of thai far distant shore.
