WESTERN UNION REQUIRED TO
GIVE SERVICE TO X. o. & G..

The Western Union telegraph COM
pany sought to discontinue its SER
vice at the Durant X. o. & G. railway
station and at all other stations
along the line, but the corporation
commission last week rules that the
company should continue its tcle-
graph service along this line.
The controversy grew out of an
old controversy said to exist between
the Western Union and the NJ. O. &
G. railway company, which has since
been changed to the X. o. & &. Be-
cause of the change of the name of
the road the telegraph company held
that the contract with the railroad
was invalidatcd The corporation
commission. however. held otherwiSes
and 50 the Western Union will contin-
ne to give service at the local X. o.

at your elbow. Yau have seen the
common types that insanity experts
call the Unstable Personality.
This individual is highly emotional
goes off the handle" easily. He is
not exactly crazy just on the border
land, although under sufficient provo
cation some of them have periodic
fits of violent insanity.
The trouble with this individual is.
u he claims, nerves" He reacts eX-
crSsivcly to the ordinary emotional
irritantS of life.
Unstable personalities haven't any
brakes. DIR, A. Warren Stearnes, the
noted insanity expert. says: at Is
their uncontrolled excitement which
often touches the match to the mob
and their lack of emotional control is
one of the important elements in
homicide and suicide"
According to this description. a lot
of these unstable personalities-lack-
ing in Judgment and calm dcihera-
tion--are running amuck these days
in our midst.

which the Cody quintette forced Il e
going all the way with a superb ex-
hibition of basketball. employing
a fast and varied attack in which well
timed passes, good dribbling, and ac-
curate shooting were elements.
Basins defense was keen through
out. their long distance shooting be-
ing especially effective. The uncan-
ny accuracy of Jones' losses from
the middle of fthe floor, often throw
ing no small scare into the hearts Of
Cody supporters. Few II any of

of the basket and practically every
time he essayed a shot from the floor
he was rewarded with a goal.
Cody played brilliantly however,
their passing and blocking being the
best form showed on the local floor
in years. Though rather slow in
starting, repeated field goals by Per-
ry and Newton gave Cody the margin
and they were soon able to wrest any
possible victory from the visitors,
