The Record

Audubon, Iowa-R. P. Clark of
Brayton is the owner of a Poland
China SOW that is a strong conten-
der for first honors in the size Of
litters when she farrowed nineteen

can be raised. Clark is helping his
sow to maintain the good record she
started by raising sixteen of them.

able to provide but eleven places at

is successfully feeding the other five
on a bottle.

Japanese, or any foreign
language, but plain American; and it
means:
What's the good of homecoming"
II was Young Crouch who said it.
Cor the crouch is not always old, by
any means)
What's the good of homecoming? A
good deal of good. to good many
people!
1t does lot Of good to the man and
woman who come home, no matter
from whence they come.
To remember and to be remembered
to cherish and be cherished-that
is about the greatest Joy in life.
To find we are not forgotten-our-
selves to recall old places and old
faces-that is life's keenest pleasure.
1t warns the heart--and when the
heart warns it expands.
It's great to see a hand stretched
out for something besides your money.
1t gets you to reaching out for
something besides money, too.
1t gets you to recalling quiet pleas
ures with a glow, and old friends with
affection.
One great thing about friendship is
that it increases self-respect
For, to have friends, you must be
worthy of them.
You may get wealth by luck
Position by pull
Even health by good fortune
But you must earn your friends.
The old friends were your first
friends.
You had less then, perhaps, of
wealth and knowledge-but you won
friends.
You must have been pretty fair
sort of man or woman, or boy or
girl.
You kept them-even through sepa-
ration-and you must have been a
fair sort OF person to do that.
Why, you have come home to find
out what a fine fellow you really
are!
And homecoming is good thing
for those old friends as WELL
1t gives them Joy to know you care
enough about the old friends and the
old community to come back.
1t makes them want to be worthy
of your faith and friendship.
1t makes them proud of the old
town, and the country round about.
1t gives them JOY to be remembered
and remember.
When you come back they no long
er feel any regret that they never went
away.
They know that a place that Is
good enough to come back to is good
enough to stay in.
Whatever the world is, or any part
of it, this proves that the old home
town is best of all.
They feel that they have kept the
faith.
When you come, here is the old
town
And the old friends
The old streets, the old trees
The old sky and grass
Waiting to welcome you.
They have kept the light burning
in the window
The flame glowing on the altar of
friendship
Until the prodigal returned.
Blessed are the faithful
It's a good thing for the town.
Towns are like people-they ought
to put on their best clothes now and
then
To clean up the back yards, and
hang out the flag
To clip the lawn and paint the
porch,
After you get away you will tell
others what a good town the old town
is
How surprised you were at ITS
growth and enterprise
It's shaded streets and well-kept
homes.
The old town will be an inspira-
ton
And you will be an advertisement.
Perhaps you will even decide to
stay!
What's the good of Homecoming?
A good deal OF good, to a good many
people!

avail itself OF the act onehalf of the cost Of inves-
tigation to be paid in advance by the district the
other half by the United States. The secretary of
the interior may contract to construct reclamation
works and operate them as long may be neces-
to safeguard the interests of the general

Small Trial Halted
When Second Venire
OF 100 Is Exhausted

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, April 26.--With
the first venire of 100 exhausted. the
trial OF Governor Len Small ad
journed last night with only four men
in the box, one temporarily accepted
by both sides, and three tentatively
passed by the state. A second venire
Of 100 had been called for tomorrow.
Hopes entertained last night for
speedy selection of the jury to try the
governor were dashed today when
the sum total of yesterdays work
one juror passed by both sides-was
dismissed after the state had re-
opened his examination and chal-
lenged him for cause.
With the first venire exhausted,
court adjourned early to permit the
lawyers to spend the afternoon in
conference in an effort to agree on
points OF law which are expected to
be raised during the trial.
Governor Small followed the days
proceedings carefully, sitting at his
lawyers table where he held frequent
whispered consultations with c. G.

British Steamship
Line Denies Intent
To Cripple Marine

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Lam
port & Holt steamship line yesterday
made public a letter to Chairman
Lasker of the shipping board, deny
ing his charge that the cutting of its
South American passenger rate was
an attempt to cripple the American
merchant marine.
"We never have and do not seek
any rate war. our desire being to CO.
operate on any fair basis with your
beard" the statement ssaid.
David Cook. American representa-
tive of the British line, sent the tele-
gram to Mr.. Lasker denying that the
reductions were made without prev
ious notice. The Munson line agents
of the shipping board. he said. had
"a hours advance information of what
we had in mind. mainly differential
for. our less speedy service
The statement OF the line explained
that what happened in the South
American trade was that the tonnage
employed in it was doubled by the
shipping board placing on as many
high class steamers as there were
already in the trade. the shipping
board steamers being faster than
those of Lamport and Holt"
THE reference of rates from port
to port being uniform it added, is
erroneous, il being well known that
slower steamers take lower fares"

The Parking Problem

The parking problem has become a very serious
one for Phoenix and it must get with the in
attention which is being given it. There is only one
solution for il and the earlier the authorities adopt
that the easier it may be. That is to compel
extension of the parking far from the bus
center of the town as may be necessary. II
must he impressed upon autornobists that they
caEnct all crowd into section of the town;
the lat corners must make up their minds to do
scme walking; there must be mutual show of con-
sideration by automobile owners
Yesterday two congestons of traffic occurred
within two hours on Adams street one between Cen
ter and First street and the other between Center
and First On each side of the street in each
the automobiles parked three deep and the
parking carelessly done that there was not
for the passage of vehicle Two or three COL
lisons narrowly averted when automobiles from
Center turned into Adams before the drivers were
aware of conditions there
Double parking is bad enough and that should
not be permitted unless driver is left in the ma
chimes in the outer row ready to move out of the
way as a driver of a machine in the outer
desires to get away. Triple parking should be
severely prohibited A machine should be allowed
to stop outside the second row only long enough
to allow it to discharge Its passengers and should
then be compelled to move on to point where there
may be room for it.
Whether parking should be parallel or obque
matter of opinion In favor of the former is the
fact of safer egress but it takes more room. Obque
parking is economical of room at the curb but
there is always danger of rear-end collision in
backing out.
Double parking which we have mentioned and
such as may be permitted is not really parking.
parked car is one which is temporarily abandoned,
that there should be but row of parked
Those the outside with a driver ready, to
instantly cannot be said to be parked.
The city ordinance we believe does not prohibit
double parking but it provides that car shall not
be left alone for than thirty minutes. pro-
vision is not enforced, and than that out of
this neglect has grown the third row until now
busy days streets cease to be thoroughfares only
parking spaces for all who crowd into them
