DIARY REVEALS HOMELY JOYS
AND SORROWS OF FARM LIFE

LEBANON, Ind, July 3. U.H-
All of the joys and sorrows, glad
ness and tragedy, of the past 81
years Of David Cohee's life are "an
open book" for those who care to
read.
Since 1873, Cohee has chronieled
the daily happenings of his life and
the visitors TO his 40-acre Boone
county farm, four and one half
miles north Of here, are invited TO
read what he has put into the 81
volume "library."
He has lived here all but one of
his Il years and the incidents re
corded day by day were not the
momentous events Of the world
politics, wars, and economic strife
Imperial Valley press., 1930-07-02

but rather were they the personal,
human things of which all lives are
made.
One can sean the pages to read
the story of Cohee's youthful days,
his counting days, his marriage, the
purchase of his farm, and later the
poignant story, day by day, of his
Wife's illness and finally her death.
One reads OF clear, cold day in
January, when young David went
a-cuurtin' his bride to-be and the
terse little notation III his diary of
eve sat and talked for 4 while
quite a while"
In the volume for 1876, one reads
Of his marriage and the purchase of
his farm. There are stories of a
young farmer struggling to get
along.
"Helped james Pa butcher today
and got Il hog that weighed 49,"
one page reads. "WesJ her cool,
rained at sundown."
The story is complete, and the
reader gets clear picture of the
joys and trials involved in raising
six children. Cne reads the JOY at
the arrival of the first grandchild
and the greater JOY at the arrival
of Cohee's first great grandehild.
Then in 1923, his wife's illness
and finally her death. The saddest
lines in 81 years of notes-"Buried
Jane today. The saddest day of
my life. My best friend gone" 1t
is a heart-rending story told in 4
few words; the companion of SO
years gone: children married and
an empty farmhouse.
Cohee was born Oct. |, 1853, in
Clinton county. The following year
his father moved to Boone county
and David has lived here since.
He has SIX children, 16 grandchild-
rem and seven great grandchildren
and the annual reunion of the fam
lily is an affair that draws everyone
of the Cohecs each year.
Cohee can trace the records of his
family back to 1888, y years after
the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, when Benjamin Co
hee was born in Delaware on Sept.
10, 1888.

Among these are mosquitoes, red

She's a well-establ.shed part Of the
summer routine, inevitable as hay

she can return home with the heart

before they were married, hauled
them back home, and made them
be "it" for her wedding. That was
almost a tragedy. All the next day

Dates Kept Busy
Funny things these summer visit
ors can do. All the men in town
are kept frantically on the run
the whole summer through, filling
in, having blind dates, getting othe.
men to tow the summer girls about.
They come, see and conquer, and
then, thank goodness. they're gone.
They leave behind them q trail of
foreign lipsticks, discarded powder
boxes, countless handkerchiefs, sew

Of shoes which they obligingly
donate to the maid or the cook.
They are gone IN a gushing rush

Frenzied Preparations
The advent OF q summer visitor

Of what happened 10 a family OF
good folks that had one Of the

cleaned, polished. swept, busted, set
things straight, changed other
things around, bought new rugs,

Hocfier, representing the Colo rado- African expedition, and offers q riotous blending of gorgeous scenery, picturesque savages, tribal dances and drilling escapades with wild beasts. These actual scenes Of the jungle surpass in vivid beauty anything that has ever been shown.
 For genuinely delightful enter tainment, Ladies Must Play" the Columbia production which opened at the Embassy tteater yesterday fills the bill Ladies Must Play which ends Friday, pleases both the eye and the car. It boasts Of beau tiful women in gorgeous gowns and ultra modern settings. The story is laid against New York and Newport society backgrounds. It deals with plans of a stenographer to land d millionaire husband. The out come is unexpected and extremely entertaining. smart dialogue, rapid fire repartee and witty sayings make the picture interesting. It is in all d sophisticated society comedy drama, lavishly produced.
