are Of the same design, but the
different colors allow the traders to

Theft Attempt Made
The actual value of the collec-
ton is around 81. since the original
cost of the match boxes is one cent

made to steal the collection from
the Gandall home.
The bulk of the match boxes are
made in Sweden, Finland, Holland,

Gandall said.
Many Are Rare
Many of the tops were not rare
several years ago when they were
made in large numbers, but when the
company stopped making that par
ticular line, the value of the top In
creased. And matches that were rare
when first put or the market de-
creased in value as the numbers on
the market increased.
A strange twist in the trade is
the rarity Of brand of matches
on the east side of Indianapolis and
the commonness OF the same match
on the west side of the city. This
same thing happens in different
States. So the match box tops in
crease or decrease in value as the
location of the collector is changed.
"A collector never knows just
where he stands said John, with
youthful candor, as he gathered up
his tops and put them back in a
large tin box for safe keeping.

Kentucky Pastor Unites 500

HUNTSVILLE, KY, Augs 2.-For
t~hirty-six years the Rev. D. NJ. Allen
has been the only minister of the
gospel in this part of the hill coun-
try.
And in all that time he has never
been paid a cent for his labors.
&. Since he began preaching at the
age of 20. way back in 1890. he has
rejected all offers of pay.
Preaching regularly in mountain
churches within a twenty-mile ra-
dius of this place, riding owe lonely
trails at night to comfort the sick,
cheer the, dying or rejoice at a chris
tening, he has become a Shepherd
Of the Hills" in real life.
500 Free Weddings
In addition, he has become a IA
vorite of mountain lovers.
During his pastorate he has united
in marriage more than 500 couples.
And never has he accepted a cen for
these tasks.
Some of the marriages have been
solemnized in lumber camps; some
in tiny cabins, hidden far up among
the lone0 pines and others on noun
tain trails, under the starlight, with
bride and groom sitting on horseback
ready to ride off into the warm Ken.

words were pronounced. But never
has the Reverend Allen oficiated at
a wedding in a church.
Notary Public
For the greater part OF thirty
years Mr.. Allen has also been a no
tary public. During that time he
estimates that he has received as
fees for this work not more than
$30-a salary of 81 a year!
How does he live-this man who
works without pay? BY making him
self live two lives, taking on the bur
dens Of two callings. working at two
jobs at once.
During week days the minister
works on the farm, in the lumber
camps, at the sawmill, and serves be-
sides as superintendent of the-F1oyd
County schools. Thus he has con
trived to support his family and live
comfortably and happily on his farm
near here. Between one Sunday and
another he often floats big RATS Of
logs 100 miles down the Big Sandy
River, returning in time to conduct
services for his congregation at the
usual time.

the moonshining district. Mr.. Allen

$4,000 UTILITY TOTAL
Magnates Gave That Much to Aid
Smith for Illinois.
BY n. ID. Cochran,

ItmeS SInII COFTtSUONutH
CHICAGO, Aug. Except for
some possible details that may de-
velop from the testimony Of insult
and Fred Lundin. the Illinois pri-
mary picture is. fairly complete.
When Smiths Campaign manager
added Ira c. Copley and Clement
~Studebaker to the list Of large con-
tributors Illinois was covered so far
as public utilities are concerned.
Studebaker has bought the Nc.
Kinley utility interests and Copley
dominates the Western United Gas
and Electric Company, which COW
ers a large section Of Illinois along
the Fox River Valley. ~Studebaker
heads the Illinois Power and Light
Corporation, which has acquired
thirty.nine public utility companies.
$4,000 Total
Copley gave SIS, 900. and Stude-
baker $20,0 900 to the campaign of
/the president of the Illinois Com
merce Commission, which regulates
public utilities.
Add these 10 lnSull 9lIo,VoV anu

campaign fund. Besides, insult adj
mitted tina he spent nearly $4,000
in propaganda against the World
Court, which he supposed was help
full to Smiths cause. Altogether
over 70 per cent Of the Smith fund
came from public utilities.
To Hurt Smith
Judging from the attitude of the
Chicago newspapers, Smiths candi'
dacy is seriously threatened by this
acceptance of money from utilities.
1t isn't so bad, however, rs It would
have been if George Brennan, the
Democratic nominee. had not ac'
cepted $4,000 from his old friend

AS for the rottenness Of Chicago
politics, the Reed committee wasn't
able to do more than scratch the
