DEFINITION OF CONE HORSE TOWN"

there isn't one horse town in it," said the visit

what was meant by zone horse town." We
had often heard travellers use that expression.
So the visitor asked to explain. "Wel, every
town in this county having a newspaper has a
publishing plant operating at home, and the
home printing office is generally the first start
towards the home town securing other indus

alton if chamber of commerce in a town of say
at least 1000 inhabitants, that had a chance

SOMETHING TO FIGURE OUT

AN Associated Press dispatch to the Los An
gees Examiner states that radio cooking has
made its first public appearance. a test
paper sack of corn placed between two jars OF
of ice water to make sure there warmth
in the air, popped perfectly by the heat gener-
ated within the kernels by radio. Frozen light,
one of the queer new discoveries of science, has
also been exhibited and works perfectly. This
light was frozen into the surface of mineral
screen at Schenectady and brought to New York
in bottle of liquid air at 312 degrees below
zero. New discoveries in science make the field
for new inventions unlimited. Where some OF
these new inventions are labor saving, others
create industries demanding large forces
of workers. If one cares to exercise their brain
they can take up the task of figuring out
whether the use of radio cooking or frozen
light, made practical by low cost, will result in
the release or employment of labor The prob
lem may help to take the strain off the brains
brought on by figuring out how much income
tax you have to pay if you raised cotton in1930,
or figuring out if you have kept faith with your
community by buying everything in the home
town, or whether you did right by paying cash
where you traded, because you had to, and only
bought where your credit was good when you
were broke.

1ransporting Criminals

In England, under a statute of
1897, dangerous rogues" might be
banished by justices, but no sys-
TEN of transportation of criminals
can be said to have arisen until
the time of Charles II, when jus
tices were empowered to send GER
tain offenders TO America instead
of inhicting the death penalty. In
1717 transportation was authorized
as a substitute for other punish
ments than hanging, and the con-
tract system, by which individuals
agreed to transport cOnvicts in re-
turn for their labor during the
period of sentence, was established.
Protests from America were fre-
quent, but unavailing. Most of the
colonies received some Of these
