TEL.
co. AFFAIRS IN
GOOD SHAPE
Annual Meeting Was Held
at BeetOwn Wednesday,
No Change of Policy.

Stockholders of the Farmers Tel
ephone Co. held their annual meeting
at Beetown last Wednesday, in ac-
cordance with the terms of the char
ter which provide that the meeting
shall be held at the company's seat
of charter. About 10 were present.
VIM. Pink and ]. c. Perrin were re-
elected for three years. Hugh Harper
was elected trustee in place of l.. H.
Stevens who has served for six years
past. The board of directors will meet
shortly to select a secretary and
treasurer in place of Mr.. Stevens, re-
firing.
The meeting voted to go ahead with
the toll line to Dubuque via Specht's
Ferry. This will give the company
communication outside the state
through the Iowa Bell Company at
Dubuque.
The meeting failed to vote divi-
dend but the board has power to vote
same and a dividend will probably be
voted shareholders later in the year.
The company's affairs are in a
thrifty condition. In the past four
years a debt of $11,20000 has been
paid off. All but 100000 has been
paid on a SIT 10000 new exchange
at Lancaster. $6,736 has been paid to
stockholders in dividends. The aggre-
gate of these earnings amounts to
$50, 10000 in four years which speaks
well for the company's management.

A TRAP, A BROOK, A BIRD

Here is a little tragedy of the bab-
bling brook. While out along a creek
last week a citizen came across two
snipe. These birds rarely winter in
the north, but here they were enjoy
ing the weather and wading in the
open water happy as could be. Re-
turning to the creek a few days later
one of the birds was found caught
in a steel trap, its little wings futter-
ing in a vain attempt to free itself.
Nearby was its mate, dead. Carefully
the bird was taken from the trap. Its
legs were broken and bleeding. 1t
gave a quick start, flutter and broke
away from the kindly hand that held
it. An examination of the dead bird
near the trap revealed that it too had
been a victim of the steel jaws as
both legs were broken, and the owner
of the trap had thrown it into the
creek. It's mate returning to be near,
and faithful even in death, had then
fallen a victim to the reset trap. This
is a little tragedy at the laughing
brook and the owner of the trap should
he read this, will know why his trap
stood on end when he visited it next
time.-Richland Republican.

BANK FAILS
IN LAWSUIT
FOR LIBEL
Statements Made to Investi-
gators Not Valid Charges
for Libel Says Court.

The Supreme court of Wisconsin
in a decision Tuesday affirmed a low
er court decision in the case of the
Ridgeway State bank VS. H. r. Bird,
citizen.
The bank asked $4,000 damages
from HI. r. Bird, Ridgeway, for al
legged slenderous remarks to the effect
that the bank was in bad condition,
it did not have any business to speak
of, and it's officers had to go out and
borrow money to make the books bal
ance when the examiners came to
town. A non-suit was ordered and the
cvosts charged to the plaintiff by
County Judge Aldro jerks of Iowa
county. The court held that the only
slenderous words for which the de-
PENDANT might be held liable were ut
tered in the presence of two investi-
gators hired by the plaintiff. A person
is not injured by something which he
himself invites, Judge jerks said, IL
declaring that remarks under such
circumstances do not constitute le-
gal publication of libel.

Missionary Visits Here;
Decade in New Britain

The Rev. A. L. Schmeetz, Mission
airy of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic
priest, spent Wednesday in Lancaster
at the guest of Rev. M. Haas of St.
Clements parish.
FIR. Schmeetz has recently been re-
lieving Rev. Arentz at Highland and
last summer he supplied at Benton
He is but recently returned from New
Britain, large island off the coast
of New Guinea, where he spent ten
years as a missionary.
Natives of New Britain are of the
negroid type, cannibals and head
hunters. They have many weird and
horrible customs. FIR. Schmeetz has an
interesting lecture on his experiences
there the same being illustrated with
120 lantern slides.
FIR. Schmeetz recommends a journey
to the South Sea Islands as cureall
for ennW and specific for stiff joints.
Life there is full of thrills. Beautiful
climate, long lazy days, blue noun
tains covered with verdure to their
SUBMITS, flashing green waters and
savages ready to snap your head off
the minute you wander into the bush.
Fleetness of foot is a desirable con-
comitant of life in New Britain, he in
ferS.
FIR. Schmeetz's lecture is purely of
an educational nature. He will deliv-
er this interesting illustrated lecture,
taking about two hours in length, at
the Grantland theater next Wednesday
evening, Jan. %.

.SNODGRASS
LEAVES PRISON
FOR VAUDEVILLE
Takes $500 a Week Contract
on 'Big Time AnnOunc-
er Witten, Manager.

Playing as he never played before,
chord on chord of crashing harmony,
Harry M. Snodgrass, prison king of
the Ivories,' gave his last prison con-
cert at w. o. S., "Our call letters
Watch Our State" from the Missouri
state capitol dome last Wednesday. It
was Snodgrass's last performance as
a convict and he made the most of it.
Up to 10 o'clock, 2,786 kilograms had
been received. The concert was given
in the Missouri house of representa-
tives where staid assemblymen in ses-
sion, had clamored for an entertain
ment And with the hundreds before
him listening were other invisible
thousands scattered for hundreds of
miles-listening in.
At the conclusion SnOdgrass
thanked his listeners, one and all, and
promised to go straight. He leaves
Jefferson City this week with Don
Witten, the nasal toned radio an
nouncer of Jefferson City. The two
will make g vaudeville team. Their act
will carry dummy broadcast outfit
to convey to vaudeville audiences the
necessary touch of glamor and illu-
sion which makes an act "go over
big"
Snodgrass is the last convict to be
exploited over the radio, the new
governor, Sam A. Baker, says. His
reasons were not stated. 1t is prob
able that nationwide hero worship as
in the case of Snodgrass has a dis
turbing effect on the morale of other
prisoners.
Snodgrass has a wife and 8-year-old
son. He was sent up from st. Louis
three years ago after robbing candy
store while full of white mule" Be-
fore conviction he was making $50 a
week playing piano in st. Louis mu-
sic halls. He jumps into a $500 week
longtime contract and is probably the
only living man (outside of Monte
Christo) who obtained fame and for
tune by ways of a prison sentence.

What is said to be the most COM
plete solar eclipse in SIS years will
take place Saturday, Jan. "a, accord
ing to Director Edwin B. Frost of the
Yerkes observatory, University OF
Chicago.
The eclipse will be 95 percent total.
The sun will rise at I'LL a. m. and

affect an area about 100 miles wide,
north and south, being more complete
further north.
Prof. Frost says the last total
eclipse affecting this part of the
world occurred in 1906. In 1869 an
eclipse occurred on a smaller scale.
Prof. Frost goes on to say that not
more than a dozen times since the
Christian era began have total eclips-
es occurred. There will not be a re-
currence for two centuries, he de-

KIWANIS CLUBS
ARE OBSERVING
10TH BIRTHDAY
Organization, Formed in De-
trOit 10 Years Ago, Now
Has 1900 Clubs.

Kiwanis clubs throughout the ma
ton will celebrate during this week,
the tenth anniversary of the birth of
the organization. The Lancaster club
will join in the nationwide observ-
ance, at their meeting Wednesday
noon, according to officials of the club.
Kiwanis had it's origin at Detroit.
Mich, 10 years ago. Since that time
the idea has spread throughout the
United States and even beyond the
boundary lines Of the nation. At the
present time, it is said, Kiwanis In
ternational has membership of
about 1900 individual clubs in the
United States and aCnada.
Victor M. Johnson of Rockford,
Ill, is international president of XII
wants, and with him rests the admin
istration Of the organizations affairs
in every place where there is a XII
wants club.
Service Organization
"The reason for the existence of a
Kiwanis club" President Johnson
stated, sis civic and social service to
a community. Because of being free
from social, political and sectarian
prejudices, the club is able to bridge
the gap that would otherwise arise
between highly specialized social
service agencies and the public.
"In every community" he contin-
ued, there exists a shortage of man
power to carry out civic and social
work, rather than a shortage Of
tasks"
The general policies which have
been recommended by President John
son to guide all Kiwanis clubs during
the present year areas follows:
1925 Policies
'To promote an intelligent, aggres-
sive and serviceable citizenship, in
Guiding a determined effort towards
a universal exircise of the franchise.
'"To enlist the activity of all XII
wants clubs in our program of serv-
ice for the underprivileged child
'"To continue our effort to secure
closer relations between the farmer
and the city man.
ITO stimulate added civic interest,
cooperation and service on the part
of all Kiwanians and Kiwanis clubs.
ITO formulate and direct the in
f1uence of Kiwanis in matters of pub
lie interest in order that our organi-
cation may become a greater construc-
tive force in the affairs of today"

SUPREME COURT
AFFIRMS JUDGE
IN HARDY CASE
Mortgage Against Peoples
Bank Building Must Stand
as Made in Good Faith.

MADISON-The Supreme court of
the state in the case of William Hardy
trustee, VS.. the Peoples State bank of
Lancaster, and Dwight Parker, COM
missioner of banking, defendants,
Dwight Parker, appellant, has affirmed
the decision of Judge Smalley in cir
cult court which held that a $4,000
mortgage given Hardy should stand
as a first claim against the bank build
ing. This decision reduces the poten-
tial assets of the bank by the value
of the building, rated at about $1,000
The appeal was taken from an order
of Circuit Judge Sherman E. Smalley
of Grant county, directing a foreclos-
ure of William Hardy's $4,000 mort
gage on property of the Peoples State
bank of Lancaster to satisfy the
amount found due him. The mortgage
was given May 81, 1928, to Hardy by
J. H. Pugh, cashier, and l.. A. Clark,
vice president, three days before the
bank was taken over by the STATE
banking department. Clark and Pugh
are now serving prison terms on
charges of embezzlement. The appel
liant claimed Hardy knew the bank
was insolvent at the time he received
the note, and that therefore the note
was unlawful. Hardy, however, main
tanned the board of directors knew OF
the loan and, by implication, consented
to it. Judge Smalley held that the
note could not be repudiated.
The high body also affirmed the de-
cision of Judge Smalley in the La
Crosse county case of Eulalie Haritos
VS.. John Haritos The appeal was TAX
en- from Judge Smalley's decision
which ordered Haritos to pay 10
months back alimony and setting aside
a written contract releasing him from
payment. The plaintiff claimed that
the contract was obtained from her
under duress. Judge Smalley, however,
holding the charge of duress immater-
ial, declared judgment granting a
decree of divorce could not be amend
