THRIFT WON HER HUSBAND
Legend Tells Of Reward That Came to
French Girl Through Her
Cheesc-ParinQ.

While the expression "cheese-par-
ing is a recognized equivalent for
thrift or economy in the management
of household affairs, it is apparent the
moment we dissect the term that the
saving effected by the pairing of a
cheese depends entirely upon the man.
ner in which the operation Is conduct
ed. If one removes the rind of the
cheese carelessly, waste instead Of
economy results.
According to French legend, there
was man who was in love with three
sisters at the same time. He could
not make up his mind which Of them
he ought to marry. The ability to be
a thrifty housewife being the principal
requisite Of a wife at that time, the
man decided to watch the three care
fully, and in order to make test pre-
sented each of them with a large
cheese.
Two of them removed the r1nd in
such manner that a considerable
portion of the cheese was thrown
away, but the youngest pared 1t with
a very sharp knife, and did not waste
scrap. The man decided that she
would make the best wife, and they
were married.

OLD VETERAN GUILTY
OF POSSESSING


c. J. Barnes, an old G. A. R.
veteran 70 years of age and for 80
years a resident of Morgan Center.
was found guilt of having in his pos
session Intoxicating liquor by a Jury
of IL men selected from Orleans and
Barton, a few minutes before the
clock struck the hour of IL Saturday
night. State Attorney A. w. Far
man prosecuted the case for the
state and the defendant was repre-
sented by Judge E. j. Smith and HUI
bert Pierce. The sentence of the
court was not less one year at the
House of Correction and a fine of
$500. Owing to the advanced age of
the defendant the court gave him the
benefit of clemency and suspended
the prison sentence and placing him
on probation, also renting 5000 of
the fine, the amount Mr.. Barnes will
have to pay will be 500 and costs.
The testimony introduced showed
that Mr.. Barnes had been making
beer for Is to 20 years, the ingre-
dents being used in its manufacture
were water, sugar, yeast andworm-
wood. A sample sent to the state
labratory at Burlington showed 5A
per cent alcohol as testified by G. F..
Whitney, chemist.
The jury On the case were C.. E..
Hamblett, Charles Taplin, w. H.
Chappell, A. Lee Cowles, A. S. Drew,
c. R. Ford, j. G. Gross, C. A. Bar
rows, r. M. Gilmour, G. F. Cutler.
o. G. Paige and E. r. Cook.
This was the second appearance of
the defendant before Judge w. M.
Wright in one week and no doubt
he holds world record for a man of
his age. On Thursday a jury of IL
men selected from Coventry and Iras-
burg acquitted him on the charge of
disturbing the public peace by threat
ening and frightening his wife to
whom he was married only a few
weeks ago. Several witnesses were
placed on the stand at the Saturday
hearing some of whom testified that
they had paid five cents a glass for
the beverage made in the wonderful
barrel. The jury were out an hour
and half as there were two charges
to agree upon, the charge of selling
was left unsettled as the jury could
not get together.

Makes Attempt to Break Jail.

Joseph Roberge together with an
other prisoner made an unsuccessful
attempt to get their freedom from
the Orleans County Jail on Monday.
When discovered in the act they
had succeeded in cutting one of the
rods of the middle window on the
East side of the Jail adjoining the
corridor.
Early in the afternoon as Albert
Riches was passing the Jail on his
way to the Mrs. Fred Brown barn
to feed Mrs. Maurice Avery's horse
which he has the care of, he noticed
one of the prisoners working at the
window. On Mr.. Riches appearance
the man ceased his work and stepped
back from view.
This aroused his suspicion. and
following the completion of his work
at the barn he watched the jail and
saw the two men saving away at the
bar of iron with what looked to be a
fiat file. He notified Sheriff E. j..
Hill who quickly went to the jail and
in GOING the rounds found Roberge
and his accomplice in the corridor.
They had taken advantage of the
tailor when he went to lock the prls-
oners in their cells following the din
ner hour having hidden in some OBJ
scure corner of the Jail at the time.
They had taken some of the iron
dust and covered the cut and were
no doubt waiting for darkness to
make their getaway.
Roberge is being held under $4,000
bail for smuggling Cinnamon and
well knows a heavy penalty is wait
ing him. The Canadian border with
out doubt looks good to one who is
so near it. but the escape was nipped
in the bud,

Mexia. TexaS.-Mexia, which has
come into so much notoriety through
the sending of state troops here to
Illicit booze and restore order, is
typical mushroom city.
Overnight tented city arose. From
an apparently sleepy little town of
5000 population in October, 1921,
where old settlers farmed for living
and eked out q bare existence from
their lands to a bustling city of 3d.
600 people, and all in few months.
this is the recent record of Mexia, an
old-time Texas town, which is feel
ing the effects of one of the numer-
Gus oil developments In the South
west.
The population now consists Of an
assortment of oil field followers and
thousands Of men and women seeking
employment. Consequently because
of the exhorbitant prices charged for
room, If one were lucky enough to
secure one, hundreds of men, favored
by the long continued mild winter, are
sleeping on the grass along railroad
tracks, public parking places and, in
fact, anywhere they can.
Beds in Tents Costly.
Overnight a bed in tent marked
"a place to flop" scared from so cents
night to SO. A night in crude
plank structure where one didn't
know his bed-fellow or the hundreds
of others in the single room cost So.
Rail traffic jumped hundreds Of per
cent. There are two trunk lines, the
Houston & Texas Central and the
Trinity & Brazos Valley. leading
through here, and passenger traffic is
very heavy, while freight trains are
frequently seen running three abreast
SO heavy Ia the demand for oil ma
chinery. One road is said to have spent
100000 In enlarging its facilities.
The water situation is not alto
bath here is quite an experience, If
indeed not a task. The old saying,
eff you want to do something big
wash an elephant" certainly has found
parallel In Mexia.
But One Bathhouse.
This luxury may be found, outside
the woodland creeks, only In down
town barber shop. The bathhouse is
stall in a wooden-hoored, planked-in
Enclosure. The plain, pine planks are
slippery, but the proprietors of the
house have found that it is not neces-
sary to maintain first-aid kits because
the board floors are warped enough
to allow the bather foothold.
But as for oil. There are solid
six miles Of new derricks, drillers, out
fits, tents, wooden buildings AND people
where once there was the open
prairie. survey of all local lumber
men shows that buildings completed
or contracted for since October ]
total between $3,5OOOO0 and $780,

Gambling and drinking halls filled
with dancing girls are open every
night, and one may buy openly red

GERMS KILLED BY SUNLIGHT
In That Way Water Is Kept Compare
lively Free From Infection That
Would Spread Disease.

There are few more wonderful sights
In the world than winding river
shining In the sunlight. But our in.
terest In such scene may be greatly
heightened by the reflection that the
sunbeams are not merely identifying
the water; they are engaged in cur
ious work of the utmost Importance to
mans welfare. Scientific investigation
has proved that sunlight possesses a
wonderful power to kill injurious
germs in river water.
Where river is polluted by sewage,
millions and millions of dangerous
bacteria flourish in its water and are
carried along with it to spread dis
ease and death around it's banks unless
their development is arrested. If the
sun does not shine upon such river
it may become a peril to whole COM
munities. But If the sunlight does
reach it freely. the germs are de-
stroyed and the water is kept com
paratiyely free from infection.

Is Firebug at Work in Newport?

Viewpoints business center narrow
" escaped another confiagration
Thursday night and only through
early discovery was it averted. The
lire was observed about twelve o'clock
by Mrs. George Conner and was get
ting a good start under the south
west corner of the True and Blanch-
ard CO. Inc, large storehouse by the
side of the C. p. railroad and was of
incendiary origin.
investigation tends to show that
some party had secured oily waste
from boxes on the G. P. snow plow
which was located on the side track,
at the rear of the building. This
material had been placed under the
corner Of the building. close to one
of the posts upon which the house
rested and SO close to the floor that
interior very quickly.
Mrs. Connor who resides in the
Frank Vancour tenement on Lane
avenue had just returned home and
went to the back kitchen to light the
oil stove to make some coffee and
through a back window saw light
coming from the direction of the store
house, She called her husband who
with Mr.. Vancour rushed out and
with few pals of water extinguish-
ed the blaze which was catching the
corner of the building. Chief H. HI.
Green was called. also w. J. Harri-
son who was on duty as night police.
Under the same building on the north
side there was also found a quantity
of fresh oil near pile of excelsior
although no fire had been started
there. Other pieces of oily waste
were found scattered along the C. P.
tracks. This incident following SO
soon after the Buck and Davis fires
looks as though Newport has fire
bug at large.
