Cooking Wonders in
"Wear-ENer" Wear

The wonders of cooking with
Wear Ever aluminium are being
demonstrated this week at the Film
wood store by Miss Beatrice Gotham,
a service expert from the Wear
Ever factory. Frying pans, griddle
cake irons. double boilers, broilers
and all sorts of cooking utensils, all
made of this light and durable mater
ia1 are being demonstrated by Miss
Gotham One of the remarkable
things about the frying pan is that
waf1es can be made without using
grease of any kind. Then again. if
the contents of any of the dishes
burn on. it is a very easy matter to
clean the pan. The utensils are very
easy to keep clean, are said to wear
a life time and are easy to handle.

General Barrett Thursday took slal
at Governor Hyde when he politel,
informed the chief executive thai
there is no evidence to warrant suits
or criminal action in connection with
the sale of IS acres of land for Lin
coin institute here last winter for
$27 900.
Howard Cook, local banker, who
negotiated the sale, received com
mission OF $4,000 in the deal. The
attorney general wrote letter to the
governor calling attention to their
conference recently when it was
agreed by both Barrett and the GOV
ernor there was insufficient evidence
to warrant suits.
However, two days later, the gov
ernor sent a letter to the attorney
general requesting that suits be filed
and that "any guilty party be prose
cuted'
General Barrett's letter follows:
I'm the matter of the purchase of
land for Lincoln institute, / have
noted carefully your open letter of
Saturday. You requested that | pro-
coed by appropriate suit to recover
the money, arid if sufficient evidence
to prove crilninality is at hand, or is
now Or later obtainable that any gull
ty party be vigorously prosecuted.
You will recall that | came to you
Thursday to~confer- about this matter
and that at the conclusion of oui
conference you and /, as lawyers,
agreed that the facts obtained to date
were insufficient to enable the state
either tc set aside the purchase OF
to recover from those Vino negotiated
the states end of the sale. We
agreed that the first need was to pur-
site further investigation with the
view OF obtaining sufficient evidence
to warrant some action, and we agreed
further to start such investigation,
meanwhile to postpone our further
conference until your return from the {
state lair, which you thought would
be Thursday of this week ]
Acting on this agreement, l, on !,
that day, employed special investi- {
gator, as you know, and the investi-
cation is i'll progress. The evidence
at hand so far is exactly as when we s
last talked, except that it now appears t
:hat the legislative committee was
misled III its belief that the purchase =
was void because never authorized by r
1 vote OF the board. Superintendent d
Baker tells ME that all of the men, I
bers OF the board were present, ex-
,eptng one, that the motion was reg t
1lar1y made and was carried by unan- :
nous vote. i
The state. therefore, is no more
prepared to institute suit at this
moment than it was on last Thursday, ;s
When we agreed that suit without 4
urther evidence was impossible. If +
he investigation develops further evf- {,
ence, do not need to assure you y
hat this. department will take every W
possible action for the states protec- 81
ion and the melting out of justice. r
hall further advise you as soon as 4
ny further evidence is obtained, i;
likewise, of course. I know that YOU =,
'ill transmit to me any new evidence n
which comes into your possession.
