TAKES NO CHANCES

A Minnesota editor having
been threatened with a libel suit
on account of an item in his
paper, took occasion to look up
the libel law. He found that an
editor could be sued for libel for
almost any item of news he pub
lished unless he was very care
full, in fact about the only thing
he could mention safely was the
weather. So not wanting to take
chances on a libel suit he wrote
up his items in a manner to COM
ply with the law, and this is how
he wrote up an account of swell
reception given by one of the So
ciety ladies of the town:
"A woman giving the name of
]. c. Jones, who is reported to be
one of the society leaders of this
section, is said to have given
what purported to be a reception
yesterday afternoon. 1t is under
stood that a considerable number
of socalled guests, reported to be
ladies noted in society circles,
were present, and some of them
are quoted as saying they enjoy
ed the occasion. 1t is charged
that the firm of Bower & Black
furnished the refreshments and
String Ham the music. The
hostess is said to have worn
necklace of alleged pearls which
she declares was given to her by
her husband"

Sees Better Business

Generally satisfactory business
conditions throughout the country
were observed today at both the
Treasury and the Commerce Depart
ment. Secretary Mellon saw no
reason for any anxiety over the
continued heavy activity of the
stock market and Secretary Hoover
declared the general business situa-
ton to be good.
Mr.. Mellon, it was reported, feels
that there is no danger to the coun-
try in the continuance Of the heavy
trading on the Stock Exchange, be-
heying that there is nothing I'M
healthy about the market. 1t was
his opinion that there is nothing
particularly extreme about present
conditions in the stock market as
stocks are moving IN both direc-
tons. The Treasury Secretary, it
was said, recalled that there had
often been wilder movements In
stocks than at present and he sees
no danger signals ahead. It was
conceded at the Treasury that the
present movement might go too
Fast. but it was not thought likely.

Town for seventy-five dollars, repre-.

WOULD LET SHERIfFS
Be GAME WsRDENS

The appearance in the House AMI
Senate of bills abolishing local game
wardens in the several counties has
been followed by another bill demand.
| ing that hereafter all the money re-
ceived by that department the fisher
les and game department shall be
converted into the state treasury, along
with other funds.
The bill presented would give all the
duties of game warden to the sheriffs
and provide for stipulated increases in
their compensation direct from the
fund, thus relieving the state of the
great expense attendant upon the
present system.
The law might not be as effectively
enforced, but the State would save a
vast amount, according to the friends
of the bills, if they shall become laws.

BROTHER and SISTER
DIE SANE DAY

| For over three score years and tel
Miss Annie L. Logan and her brothe
James B. Logan were almost INSOFAR
liable, and even death failed to sever
the long years of their close companion
| ship.
Within an hour of each other they
/ died at the Logan home on North
Main Street early Monday morning
and at two thirty Tuesday afternoon
they were buried in the same grave IN
the Lutheran cemetery.
For four years Miss Logan had been
an invalid and the brother for time
had been sufferer with valvular heart
disease.
The former was born at Quincy,
Penna., II years ago and the latter at
|Ringgold, Md, 81 years ago. Both of
them spent practically their whole
lives in Woodstock where their father
was long merchant.
The father, Captain Hugh Logan, was
a veteran of both the Mexican and
Civil wars, having fought with dis
tinction under Taylor and in the Con-
federate army.
AT one time Miss Logan taught in
the public schools of Shenandoah
County and James B. Logan was an
assistant in the Woodstock post office
when his brother the late Daniel B.
Logan was local postmaster. He also
was in the mercantile business in the
Fort Valley for time.
One brother, w. w. Logan, survives.
Services were conducted by Rev. X
H. Cline, of the Lutheran Church, the
denomination with which both brother
and sister were identified.
