Todays issue Of the Harlan News.
the weekly organ of the Harlan
plant Of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Corporation, will be it's last. An
nouncement is made that the News
will suspend publication. The an
nouncement says i'm part:
This, the one hundred and sew
entieth issue, rings down the curtain
on the Harlan News.
"In step with vital curtailment OF
expenses and reduction of work
force the News had to go. There
was no way out The passing of
the News may mean. temporarily. a
few less lay-oms down in the yard.
And while we are not electinE our
selves 10 martyrdom, we feel we
have the right to say that there
could be more distastoful causes for
its discontinuance.
After today the News will be but
, a memory. We can only speak for
ourselves when we say It will always
be a pleasant memory. The News
has made its share OF mistakes TO be
sure. but they were always the errors
Of enthusiasm and never those
which arise from petty differences
| Of opinion or ill-will.
Some have been kind enough to
/ say that the News had its place in
the scheme Of Industrial things at

share Of the credit for Harlah's sue
cess: for there is enough for all.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 24.-Oil
poured from a poor mans land at
Breckenridge. Tex. and brought a
flood of wealth and woe to the cot
tage of George Ward here.
Ward was a stationary engineer.
He worked hard all of his life. When
he got home nights he liked to toast
his toes before the fire and read the
daily paper. When he put on his
Sunday hat and a white shirt he
was dressed up"
His wife was a good hoUsekeeper
and watched the pennies.
Their monthly income now is
more than $4,000. The routine OF
their daily life in the cottage
changed but little until
Their son Sam, a railroad brake
man. came home to live with them.
Sans home was broken up.
His wife sued Ward and his wife
for 100000. charging alienation Of
her husbands affections.
Subpoena servers visited the Ward
home.
Real estate agents called with
best buys"
Then piano statesmen, auto sales
men. insurance agents. oil stock
statesmen.
People who had known them for
years but were never friendly be-
came solicitous about their welfare.
Confidence men called before
breakfast. Others came after Wards
o o'clock bedtime.
"I never was messed up in couri
until I got all this money" said
Ward. as he took a hitch in a new
pair OF galluses.
