The life of country boy in rural
New York so years ago was made up
of much work and little play. 1t meant
getting up before daybreak on the cold
Winter mornings, helping with the
stock, milking cows, cleaning stables.
1t meant cutting and hauling wood,
blowing, seeding and harvesting In sea-
son. Early to bed and early to rise was
the program.
Most OF the day during the Summer
was spent in tasks that made for
mind was left largely for the Winter
Then a boy took his books and some
times trudgeo miles through the snow
to the little ruraT school house. He
had to quit warm bed, dress by
candlelight in chilly room, and do his
share of the chores before he set out
on his tramp to school in quest of an
education.
Born in Ancestral NeighborhOod.
That was the sort of a life Owen D.
General Electric Co., financial genius
and diplomat, led as boy. He was
born in Van Hornesville, N. Y, In 1874.
His ancestors had settled there before
the Revolution. His father owned
farm five miles from the town. The
boy had to perform all the tasks that
fell to the lot of other youngsters in
the same environment
The Young farm was is miles from
the railroad. Itinerant peddlers were
its chief contact with the outside world.
Their coming was eagerly awaited.
Trips to town we're taken only when
necessary. Such excursions meant much
lost time in the days of the horse drawn
wagon and poor roads. Electric power,
which has lghtened the work in rural
sections; the radio, which has put the
farmer in touch with the world and its
affairs, we're not thought of as farm
equipment when Owen D. Young was a
boy. They were made largely possible
for the farmer through his genius for
organization.
Education Rare Among Companions.
Education, beyond the rural school,
was seldom considered worth while for
farm boys of the time unless they
planned on a professional life In town
or city. If they could read and write
and do simple problems in arithmetic,
they soon qualified for the job OF run

fell heir to it. Following this reason
ing, the detectives doubled their
search for Newberry today.
Zuta was the first of the 28 public
enemies" listed several weeks ago by
the Chicago Crime Commission to be
disposed of, but like all other dead
gangsters he was executed by gangland
instead of the law.
Gang killers get their men and slay
with dramatic settings.
Other Killings Recalled.
They found Dion O'Banion, years
back, smiling q greeting amid the
blooms of his floral shop. That was the
beginning of modern warfare in the
underworld clans, made rich by boot
Logging.
They found seven of Morans men
in North Clark street garage, whisky
depot. They lined them up and
slaughtered them with machine guns
the st. Valentine day massacre.
Hymie Weiss fell in the shadow Of
Holy Name Cathedral: Tony Lombardo
at the corner of Dearborn and Madison
streets in a vast crowd. They disposed
of three Druggan men in a Fox lake
resort by moonlight. These are only a
few samples of ganglands ways.
When they wanted Zuta, they found
him-found him idly dropping nickels
in a slot while boys and girls danced.

on which he lived while away from
home. Each week the boy carried away
with him. packed in big box, the good
things his mother cooked for him to
eat. He lived in a hired room while
he was studying at the academy.
He was ready for college when he
was Is years old. He wanted to go to
Cornell, thinking he could win one OF
the State scholarships there. But he
was too young to be eligible to try the
competitive examinations. So he re-
turned home to help his father again.
He became interested in church work
and conducted the Sunday school in
the little church in Van Hornesville.
Alpheus Baker Harvey, then presi-
dent of st. Lawrence University, came
to the town to preach. He heard Owen
Young speak in church. The lad in
terested him so much that the educator
persuaded the elder Young that the
boy was deserving of college educa-
ton, even at a great sacrifice to his
parents.
Father Borrowed $1,000.
So the father borrowed $1,000 and
on that money, and his own earnings,
Owen D. Young went through college.
He got his bachelor of arts degree from
St. Lawrence in 1894.
He still held to his ambition to be
a lawyer He entered Boston Univer-
sity, knowing that he would have to
work his way through the law school.
He served as a librarian and tutor to
earn all the money needed to meet
his modest expenses. He completed the
three-year course in two years.
After being admitted to the Massa-
chusetts bar he went to work for the
General Electric Co. His promotion
was rapid. The farm boy of so years
ago is now the organizing genius of
the electrical industry and che of the
financial wizards of his time.
