THE COUNTRY NEWS
PAPER GIVES FAITH

Turning from city newspapers
TO small town press exchanges
that come to the editors desk
is like stepping from the slums,
full of vice, into the old-fash-
ioned garden sweet with laven-
der and thyme and the scent oi
perennial flowers. The pages
of big dailies are so full OF muir
der, thievery, immortality and
seIhshness that the better news
is obscured by these glaring
shatterings OF the Decalogue.
One puts the paper aside with
a feeling of depression and
heartache that the world is so
full of terrible and unhappy
things.
Then picking up the papers
that record the happenings Of
the little towns around us, one
gains renewed faith in life.
Here is set forth only that
which uplifts a community, the
activities of the business men,
the church items, the happy
social gatherings of the people,
the marriages, births and deaths
farmers items, and all the many
daily occurrences that make uE
the simple annals of the great
common people, who are really
| the foundation of this broaC
country of ours.
Sometimes people speak light

YOUR CHILDREN
AND THE FUTURE

The birth of every child is
accompanied by happy and con-
fident planning for its future.
Parents study every detail OF
raising, of environment. of cdu-
cation. And education stands
out most important Of all. The
world of today is intensely
competitive, both for business
and individuals. The place
for the unframed and unskilled
worker grows steadily smaller.
This is the age of the specialist
and the expert, whose educa-
tion has prepared him to do
one thing well. The actual
cash value of education was
computed some years ago in a
thorough-going survey. 1t was
found that the average untrain-
ed boy goes to work at the age
of Ia. He reaches his maxi
mum income of about S1.700 at
the age of 40. By the time he
is sixty he has earned S64, 900.
The average high school
graduate reaches a maximum
income of S2,80O at so. His
total earnings, at sixty are $685.
900.
The average college graduate
/ is earning $4,000 to $4,000 a
year at so. His total earnings
are 100000 to 100000, thera
times that of the unframed
worker.
Beginning March 10, the ma
ton is to observe Financial In.
dependence Week. Life insur.
ance in all its branches will be
discussed and explained. A,
mong the various policies offer

les are those guaranteeing ed

JURY To DECIDE
KELLEY FATE

Whether Lyman M. Kelley will
remain as president of the Airing
ton County Board of Supervisors
or will be removed from office
rests with an Arlington County
jury.
This fact became evident when
court opened for the fourth day
of Mr.. Kelley's impeachment trial
today and counsel for Doth the
Commonwealth and defense stat.
ed that final arguments would he
reached about the middle of the
day.
The last testimony before the
defense rested it's case was a Sc
ries of excerpts from the minutes
of the Arlington county board
which were introduced by Mrs. A..
C. Agnew, secretary to the county
manager. These minutes dealt
with the awarding of contracts
for sewer pipe. The defense de-
clared that although the prosecu-
ton contended Mr.. Kelley would
favor the use of terra Gotta pipe
in the county's sewer system be-
cause he hoped to derive per-
sonal gain. the record showed
that he made the motion in board
meeting advocating concrete pipe.

COLLAPSES
Won't Take Cut Of $250,000
Insists on Million and
Half; To Quit Work

MONTREAL. Oct. 10 1.N.SD.
Apparently unnerved by the sensa-
ton following his announcement
that he was to inherit million
and half dollars from a Scottish
estate and had refused to settle
for mere million and a quarter,
w. Hastings Davis, 58-year-old
janitor, was in a state of near col.
lapse at the home of a son-in-law
in Outremont today.
Mr.. Davis is a Scot.
The million and half. he told
friends here, was to come from
the estate of Marin Castle in Scot
land. He had been rendered
check for $1,250,00, he added but
returned it, determined to hold
out for the full amount.
BeSieged BY Mob
Scarcely was the word out
when he was besieged by a host
of friends eager to congratulate
him on his good fortune; by
acquaintance hoping for some
benefit from it, and suddenly
discovered acquaintance and
friends with grandiose ideas of
utilizing the money or adding
to it.
Dismayed, Mr.. Davis retreated
to his son-in-law's home and re-
fused to discuss the matter. His
wife, however, declared all re-
ports concerning the inheritance
were premature.
No official confirmation could
be obtained of the inheritance
here and Mr.. Davis declined to
say whether an attorney was
acting for him in the matter.
But Mr.. Davis is apparently
confident of extracting the full
need of his Scottish fortune.
He is going to quit his Job.
he said-"give up this work for
good"
