THE CREATION and IT'S RESULT.

(BY G. G. HARRIS)
When Almighty God created man
He made him kind and clever;
But failed to bride woman's
tongue,
And sealed mans fate forever.
God made this man good and
strong,
And made him Gin His image"
He then made woman to help the
man,
And Satan caused the scrimage.
Satan told Eve of her beauty rare,
And that Adam was a dapper;
Which caused vain Eve to bob her
hair,
And she became a flapper.
When Satan entered this garden
fair,
He found this man contented;
He sought through Eve the fall
of man,
For which the Lord repented."
Then God Himself driv them out,
When He saw their sad condi-
ton;
He made for them coats of
SKINS"
And changed their occupation.
He said that man must till the
soil"
While Eve Travelled in labor"
Poor man must sweat to earn his
bread,
And always Glove his neigh
bor."

Light in Scratching Shed

Different poutrymen are buildin.,
their scratching shed or house with
of the house so that the chickens have
light to work. there. This keeps the
litter worked out from the walls, and
amounts to increasing the scratching
area. If measured and estimated it
will be surprising how much smaller
service capacity than their dimensions
would seem to indicate.

HOME TOWNLETS.
Old What's-His-Name.

There was a man in Clintwood,
| knew him long ago,
He lived down near frog level,
Where the men would come and
go;
He wasn't king or nobleman,
He didn't wear a crown,
But he always was a booster
For the old home town.
He never sailed the ocean
And he never cruised the seas;
He warn't much on larnin',
'Cept his schoolday ABCs;
But when civic things were lag
gin,
And they'd call for help or
drown,
He always got 'em thinkin'
Bout the old home town.
When Clintwood was a village,
| would hear him tellin' how
There'd someday be a highschool
On the lot that fed the COW;
AS the years went by he lab'red,
Fact they couldn't keep him
down,
Cause he always a booster,
For his old home town.
And when Gabriel sounds his
klaXon,
And the good go up to rest,
Old-what' s-his-name will be there
Keepin' pace with all the rest;
'Taint no use tellin' me
The Lord don't give a blest re-
nown
To the folks that's like old What's
-his-name
Who always boosts the town.

 Neither leader nor a laggard in the affairs of his town, Roy l.. Gray, tho average" nominee, has an aver age education, lives in an average home on an average street, drives an average car and is head of a family of four which is the average used by the census bureau.
 He is a church member who does not attend services regularly. His tastes in radio music run from cur rent jazz to light classical compost sitions and he believes the movies to be not so bad as they are reputed to be. The younger generation does not alarm him. He has an average interest in matters which do not di- rectly affect his home or his busi- ness.
 A party man in national politics. he is independent on local issues. His attitude on prohibition in non- committal because he believes either vets nor drys are giving him accur- ate information on the issue. He is a member of the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary club, the Elks and the Odd Fellows.

 In the newspapers he reads with interest about new inventions, then about great disasters or unusual crime. Foreign news has no appeal for him but the speeches of the president or of the governor of Iowa he will read from beginning to end.

Almost Hit Church

All the way up from there, there was a heavy fog. Eddie said that didn't worry him except at one time when Tn passing between two churches he noted that the planes wings barely cleared the steeples. He realized however, that 1t would be hard to make the Boston airport and so he kept flying low and look ing for a landing place. It was not until he was over Sherborn that a hole in the fog disclosed a smooth haytield on a farm. He took i'm mediate advantage of this and land ed easily.
 Not realizing that anxiety was be- ing felt over the apparent disappear ance Of the plane, resulting in an organized search. he and his party motored to the Birmingham station and took a train 10 Boston. They were finally located at the Hotel Statler here today.
 Mrs. Stinson didn't take the affair in quite so matter of fact a manner.
 Tt was the most thrilling ride ] have ever taken" she said, ''in more than 100000 miles of flying"

lantic flight" said Chamberlin, "I want 10 do it right Such plane as l have in mind is now being design ed by Mr. Ballanca. 1t will have q 1Qo-foot wing spread and be equip ped with four motors.
 'I want the plane equipped with good radio and perfect instru- ments. Such plane should carry al least four men and two expert pilots. Among the crew should be an expert operator who can pick up signals from passing boats and radio beacons. This is the type of plane that MT Ballanca is now working on.
 Tt will be able to make a perfect landing on water but also will be equipped with landing gear in case it is necessary to make forced landing en route. My idea of such d plane is one that will carry about 3o passengers on an ordinary 500- mile trip or % passengers in a two stop transatlantic flight.
 such a trip could easily be made with 20 passengers. One stop could Inc made at Newfoundland and the second, at the Azores. For a non stop flight such plane could carry no one but the crew. There is no great danger in transatlantic flights if the proper precautions are taken. I believe that l will be the first to fly this plane when it is completed" ."
 Commander Byrd emphasized the need for improved radio beacons. which, he said, would make flying safe under all weather conditions.

 He arranged to go out to Sher- born later in the day and try to bring his big monoplane into the Boston airport. whence he intended to start before night for some un- named point in New York state with his wife and the four others who accompanied him yesterday He would not take on any passenger at Sherborn. he said, because the hay field where he landed was so small and the ground so wet from last nights rain that It would take some maneuyering to hop off even with as light a load as possible.
 Yesterdays flight was all in the days work for Stinson. Making the last lap Of an lS,Q00 mile tour to promote interest in airports, he was two hours late into Hartford, from New York because of bad weather which gave Mrs. Stinson a violent attack Of airsickness. He left Hart ford late In tho afternoon.

NEW |. 0.P. GROUP
 STANDS BY NORRIS
Ready to Listen to L0Wder,
 However

Washington, Oct. 19 tP,-The newly formed group Of non organi- zation republican senators from the west is standing by Senator Norris of Nebraska, as it's presidential nominee and while ready to listen to the cause of Frank 0. Lowden, of Illinois. wants more information from him as to his views on western problems.
 one of the five senators of the Nor ris cluster, made this clear in a speech here last night before the Washington chamber of commerce in which he asked Mir. Lowdon to clarify his position regarding the interests of the west.
 The North Dakota senator said he did not wish to cmbarraSs the can didaCy Of Mir. l.owden nor to clim- mate him from it's considerations but he thought it possible that Low den might soon see fit 10 clarify his position" While the former gover- nor of Illinois has advocated the McNary-Haugcn bill. Senator Nye declared that mere enactment os this measure is not going to save agriculture.
 Meanwhile this insurgent group which includes Senators Borah Of Idaho. Brookhart or Iowa and Frazier of North Dakota is busy working out new farm relief bill which they hope will be acceptabl" to Senator Borah, an opponent of the vetoed McNary- -Haugen meas ure. The new bill will eliminate the controvertcd equalization fee proVi sion which met the disapproval of President Coolidge and Of Senator Borah as well.
 However. the ranks of the newly organized bloc are not increasing. Senator McMaster Of South pakot2 has been here but has not been in conference with the group yet. Such administration stalWarts as Senator Shoot of Utah. are giving the fac ton no consideration.
 Selection Of presidential can1i- date has appeared to be q stum- bling block 10 some of those who might join the movement. There IS 4 feeling among some that Senator Norris. in his own words, has little chance of getting the nomination.
 Some members Of the group de- clare privately their hope that if Senator Norris will not make the race or sees no chance Of success. senator Borah will go forward in their cause as a presidential candi- date. This. however. is predicated upon formation Of a farm relief bill which agrees with the views of the Idahoan.
