SMALL TOWN TALK

The supreme joke of the month the find
ing of large still on the farm of "Pussyfoot"
Johnson near Binghamton, New York. Someone
apparently thought that should be the safest
place in the world-but he thought wrong, as
moonshiners frequently do.

Of course we knew somebody was going to
make the inevitable wise-crack about the 1923
"henna blonde" license tags. We didn't have to
wait very long after the announcement before
the Minneapolis Journal did:
1.-THE license plates for automobiles
next year will be blondes Gentlemen
prefer them
f-t-f
Here's bit of gratifying news The first
Doctor of Philosophy degree in geography, ever
awarded at the University of Minnesota, has
just been given to girl, Miss Eunice Peterson of
Minneapolis. The same young woman has taken
her other two degrees in the same institution. 1t
is trite to remark that women are invading all
fields but they apparently are-even digging un-
der the earths crusts for new worlds to conquer.
f-t-f
Don't let anyone in the Northwest sit back
easily in his chair with the thought that it really
doesn't matter much if the st. Lawrence seaway
canal project goes through or not The saving
on freight in the shipment of farm products
alone would be prodgous Governor Christian
is the authority for the figures given here:
A bushel of wheat, he said, can be shipped from
Duluth to Buffalo by water, distance of $50
miles, for cents, while it costs to ship bushel
of wheat from Buffalo to New York City, dis
lance of 450 miles, cents. In other words, a
bushel of grain can be shipped 10 miles by water
for what it costs to ship it one by rail- per-
manent waterway to the ocean would mean a
saving to the Northwest sufficient to pay for the
canal in a very short time. If any of us are so
fortunate as to be able to help on this PROPOSE
tion, let's get to work and help. At least we
can all talk constructively on the plan.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Z, 1927.
TO JESUS ON HIS BIRTHDAY.


(By Edna st. Vincent Millay)
For this Your mother sweated in the cold
For this You bled upon the bitter tree:
A yard of tinsel ribbon bought and sold;
paper wreath; day at home for me.
The merry bells ring out, the people kneel;
Up goes the man of God before the crowd;
With voice of honey and with eyes of steel
He drones Your humble gospel to the proud.
Nobody listens. Less than the wind that blows
Are all Your words, to US You died to save.
Prince of Peace! o Sharon's Dewy Rose!
How mute You lie within Your vaulted grave.
The stone the angel rolled away with tears
Is back upon Your mouth these thousand
years.

A SMART ALECK TRICK
IT HE Smart Alexis who thought up the
prank of annoying Former Congressman
Volstead by razzing him over the tele-
phone about prohibition doubtless got big kick
out of the result No doubt they INDUCED in a
lot of raucous laughter over the synthetic cock
tails with mutual backslapping and noisy telling
over and over how they bet Volstead wishes he
never had heard of prohibition.
1t is more than likely, however, that the vic
tim of this "bum joke" is more convinced than
ever that he did just right in assisting to put into
operation the experiment in federal prohibition.
Mr.. Vostead is of a large number of per-
sons who earnestly believed, first, that America
would be the better if all intoxicating beverage
could be banshed from the soil, and second, that
such Punishment could be accomplished by fed
eral law. Whether he was wise not in holding
this opinion there is reason to doubt that he
was honest. Whatever criticism his opinions or
his public record may merit, he is still entitled
to the right to be unmolested in the secluson of
his home.
Throwing rotten eggs at speaker was new
yet convincing answer to his argument.
Neither does annoying Vostead putting out
"Pussyfoot" Johnson's eye demonstrate the er-
ror of prohbiton.-Omaha World-Herald

The Mankato Free Press, in its Round Our
Town" column rings in an interesting new change
on the age-old comparison of "Peter and Paul"
And it is good one.
The making of things especially for
the Christmas trade has become a great
part of industry Peter would be amaz-
ed and probably innocently happy if he
could to what extent the giving
of gifts by the Magi has grown. Paul
would frown. Both would probably be
right. 1t is a undoubtedly worldly
enlargement of the beautiful gesture of
the wise men, But at the same time it
does really rest on that sincere begin
ming, and it is impossible for it ever to
lose that content of spirituality.
Elsewhere, in the same column, the Free
Press says the original gesture (of Christmas)
is not lost" That is a fine thing for all of us
to stop and think about when we get rather pes
simistic about the element of selfishness which
has crept into our ght-giving in all the years
between ours and the gifts brought by the Magi.

CREEK CANYON
PARK is ideal
Facilities Permit Mothers to
Enjoy Rest While Chill
dren Are Cared For

McCormick's Greek Canyon State
Park, near Spencer, is termed the
ideal spot for mothers with famil-
les by the State conservation de-
partment.
Canyon Inn at the park particu-
1arly has been adapted for the care
of children. Special attention is
paid to food suitable for them.
A playground, fenced in, for
small children, with playground de-
vices and sand pile, adjoins the
hotel.
An attendant watches them and
during the park season olderS ones
are taken on hikes and taught ma
ture lore.
Able to Rest
This care permits mothers to rest
and enjoy the park pleasures and
beauties without being required to
give constant attention to their
children.
The park contains 385 acres. Nc
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-09

Cormick's Creek, which has cut
into limestone a great canyon in
some places as much as 100 feet,
runs for a mile and half through
the park. A foot trail runs along
the canyon bottom.
White River bounds the park on
one side and provides sandbar and
fishing holes. The park woodland
is noted for its variety of wild
flowers.
The woods are an example of fine,
second growth timber. Experiments
iii growing pine, spruce and hard
wood are being conducted in a
nearby abandoned field.
Population Center
owen County, in which the park
is located, has many points of scenic
and historic interest. 1t is on the
edge of the Indiana stone belt and
has a number of large quarries on
its weston side. The United States
population center is within its
boundaries.
The park is sixty-three miles from
Indianapolis on State Rd. 46. BY
way of Martinsville and Blooming
ton, there is pavement all the dis
lance except for twelve miles. The
Pennsylvania Railroad provides
train service to Spencer from which
the park may be reached by bus.
