NOTHING CAN
STOP CUPID.

The life of court house official
is not always easy sailing nor is it
always possible to arrange every
thing to the complete satisfaction
of all callers whether on business
or otherwise. However, a little pa
tience and perseverance usually
overcomes even the greatest obsta-
cleS.
This was proven at the county
clerks office this morning. A couple
entered, procured a marriage Ii
cenSe and then casually inquired
where they could find an official to
tie the knot. The deputy remem-
bered that both superior court
judges as well as Judge Mayfield
were absent and, therefore they
could not be had. She tried to get
several ministers by telephone, and
drew blanks again. Then call to
Judge Nuffer, city police judge, who
is acting in justice court during the
absence of Judge Mayfield, settled
the difficulty and the couple were
directed to the judges office where
the ceremony was performed.
Next came young lady who
wished to have her poems certi-
fled. This was a poser for the dep
uty who hitherto had not been
confronted by a similar request,
but, equal to the emergency, the
poetess was directed to the office
of the district attorney.
All in days work, smilingly
said the deputy as she prepared for
other tasks and whatever else the
afternoon might bring.

CHURCH WILL
RESUME FIGHT.

LOS ANGELES, July 8. U.P)-
The Southern California Methodist
Arizona conference, in the conclud-
ing session of its 58th annual meet
ing, decided today to return here
for next year IS conference.
A chief topic of speakers of the
closing meeting was prohibition.
DR.. John Oliver, of the Trinity
church of Pomona and chairman
of the committee on temperance
actions, introduced a resolution
stating that President Roosevelt
started on a reckless journey when
he asked for repeal of the 18th
amendment without any substitute
to protect homes and communi-
ties" R
"Repeal means a complete SELL
out to the forces of ignorance" the
resolution concluded. 1.-THE Meth
odist church will not back down
or give up the fight against the
liquor traffic"
The resolution was to be voted
upon later in the day.
Ethel C. Huber, publisher of the
National Voice, temperance publi-
cation of Los Angeles, said that
Prohibition is not a failure be-
cause it never has been given a
trial" She concluded her address
by telling the conference that 1--WE
need a new crop of William Jen-
nings BryanS.D
Announcement of appointment
of ministers for the coming year
was to be one of the last things
on the program.

WHEAT PRICE
IN NEW HIGH

CHICAGO, July 3. W.P}-Bulls
were rampant in the wheat pit on
the board of trade today as prices
scared more than four cents a bu-
shell to new highs.
A buying stampede followed Pre-
sident Roosevelt's rejection of dol
lar stabilization proposals and in
flation fever was heightened fur
ther by bullish private crop esti-
mates.
The prospective yield of the five
leading grains was estimated as the
smallest since 1908. The aggregate
for all crops was placed at $685.
100000 bushels, against 5,217, 100000
bushels last year.
Strength in stocks and cotton ad-
ded impetus to the upswing and the
grain pits were seething with ac-
tivity as all deliveries scored new
highs.
At the close wheat was to Az
cents higher, corn was up IA TO
21s cents and oats were rs to IA
cents higher.
July wheat closed at .98; July
corn .56A, and July oats .47A.

abandoning partly the little girl
roles that brought her fame.
Made Joint Film
In recent years, both comfortably
fixed so far as financial matters
were concerned, their pictures be-
came increasingly farther apart.
They MADE one film together,
"The Tanning of the Shrew" and
this picture, as if to definitely off
set the rumors, came after the first
series of reports of marital trou-
bles.
They made their home, Pickfair,
an internationally known show
place and to it came many a titled
guest.
From the time of their marriage
antil 10 years later, in 1890, they
had no extended separations. In
that year Fairbanks went tc Eng
land From then until now he sell
dom has been home for any great
length of time, deserting Pickfair
for travels to other continents.
If there is a divorce it will be the
second in the family this year for
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., son of
Fairbanks first wife, the former
Beth Sully, now Mrs. Jack Whit
ing, was divorced several months
ago by Joan Crawford. The Fair
.banks-Crawford wedding was ano-
ther of HollyWood's perfect ro-
mances.' Young Fairbanks ex-
treme jealousy wrecked their home
life, Miss Crawford testified when
she was granted a divorce.
Incompatibility would be the
charge in event Miss Pickford
brought divorce proceedings, it
was said. It was understood that
Miss Pickford might claim that
Fairbanks once said, mo woman
can keep up with me-" and use
this statement as proof of incom-
patibility.

Injuries Prove Fatal To Rus
sell Boardman Who Crashed
In Coast To Coast Race.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 3.
U.P)-RusSell Boardman, noloer Of
the American long distance flying
record who was injured here Sat-
urday when the plane he was pilot
ing in the Bendix race crashed,
died today.
Boardman s wife, who rushed to
his bedside by plane following the
accident early Saturday morning,
and his brother were with the
famed aviator when death came.
Boardman suffered a skull frac-
ture and a broken back and neck
when his tiny Gee Bee plane
plunged to earth at Municipal air
port from a height of SO feet.
Boardman had just taken off with
heavy load of gasoline on the
second leg of the New York to Los
Angeles flight,
He had gained speed of about
100 miles an hour when the ship
suddenly noSed into the ground.
Boardman was pulled from the
cockpit unconscious. He did not re-
gain consciousness before death.
Air experts believed Boardman IS
little ship, carrying the heavy load,
struck croSS-current.
Boardman set his long distance
flying record in a hop from New
York to Istanbul, Turkey.
Boardman and John F. Polandro
leaped into aviation S galaxy of fame
overnight by this flight, one of the
most remarkable and dramatic
flights on record. Their plane, the
"Cape Cod' was unsighted over
Europe but employees of Lebourget
Field, Paris, found packet of New

Boardman began his career as
wing walker and parachute jump
er. About 10 years ago, when he
was little more than youth, he
did much daring work for the
movies and was considered one OF
the best of the stunt men. Later
he bought a dude ranch, but sold
it and moved to Boston where in
1924 he married Ruth Kendrick, OF
Winthrop, Mass. He tried selling
insurance for while, but that was
too dull. In 1880 he obtained a
plane and the backing of a Boston
newspaper for a two way Atlantic
flight. An accident intervened. A
year later he obtained another
plane for the successful flight to
Turkey.
In 1924 Boardman was gravely
injured in an airplane crash but
recovered

The Responsibility
Is Upon All of Us

You, the reader Of this article, con-
troll the nations fire loss.
What you do about it will determine
the size Of the loss this year and for
I'll years to come. If, as in the past,
you are careless and ignorant, fire
waste will CONTINUES to cost ten thou
sand lives and half billion dollars
annually If, on the other hand, you
take the little care, learn the few les
sons, go to the small expense that will
outlaw fire SO far as your own prop
erty is concerned, loss will drop to a
fraction Of former levels.
Perhaps your electric wiring hasn't
been expertly examined for long
time. Perhaps there are piles of rub
bish in your garage OF attic or base
ment. Perhaps your heating plant
and flues are in need Of overhauling
and repair. If so, you are asking
for fire. 1t may be a small fire or a
great one-but it will cost you money,
as well as every other citizen. You
will pay through insurance rates,
through taxes, through loss Of bust
ness and employment.
Fire is never an individual matter.
1t touches the whole community, the
whole nation. It's individual only so
far as control is concerned-and that's
where you as an individual, can do an
invaluable work

1882 Life Insurance
Record Is Good One

AS the new year starts, the life IN
surance industry has just grounds for
pointing with pride" to the record
it made during the trying months of
1882.
Life insurance companies have been
unsurpassed, and perhaps unequaled,
in the soundness of their financial
structure and their ability to meet all
obligations on time. They have paid
gigantic sums to the beneficiaries of
policyholders and, in addition, hun
dreds Of millions more have been paid
to living policyholders through annui-
ties, endowments, dividends and oil
surrendered policies. Millions of dol
lars have been loaned to policyholders
who, in the majority of instances,
could borrow money from no other
source. To thousands of our citizens,
life insurance has been the only in
vestment which has not deprecated.
One has only to glance at the
growth Of life insurance to understand
its increasingly important place in the
life of the average citizen. Fifty years
ago annual sales totaled about $780,
100000; more than twice that amount
was sold in every month of 1882, de-
spite the economic situation.
We buy life insurance as protector
for dependents, as protector for our
selves against the exigencies of old
age, as an investment, as creator of
estates. For whatever reason we buy
it, we have invested wisely.

underground city of conduits and
sewers was built-ten miles of water
mains, ten miles Of sanitary sewers,
five miles of storm sewers, ten miles
of conduits and utility cables-facil-

A farm without a record is like a
watch without hands. The farm may
be kept running but it is impossible
to tell much about it. If record is
kept of the farm business and sum-
married. at the end of each year, it
tells how much the farm has paid for
the years work. 1t also shows what
parts of the farm business are partic-
ularly efficient, and where the leaks
are. Information on an easy way to
keep records may be obtained from
your county agricultural agent or
from rural economists for the agri-
cultural extension service at the Ohio
State university.
