Melvin Hoover, 18-year-old Jen-
nings youth, was convicted of mali
cious destruction of property and as
saul with intent to kill, in connection
with his "one-man riot" staged at a
Jennings coal mine.
Hoover, who said he intended to
plead guilty, changed his mind and de-
cided to stand trial He held thirty
miners at bay in the shaft of the mine
and fired at Louis A. Morgart, mine
owner.
Philip Duckworth, so, of Swanton,
was convicted of assault with intent
to murder his son-in-law and daughter,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Arnold. Sentence
was withheld. The penalty ranges
from two to ten years. The jury de-
liberated about an hour.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold were shot two
weeks ago during dinner table quar-
rel with Duckworth. Mrs. Arnold was
shot in the leg as she struggled with
her father, in an attempt to save her
husband. A second bullet hit Arm
old in the back. Both Arnolds testi-
fed at the trial. Testimony was to
the effect that Duckworth had been
drinking.
Clarence Paugh was found guilty Of
attempted extortion before jury on
Tuesday. Paugh threatened Richard
Custer, 82-year-old farmer of Swan
ton, with the destruction of his home
unless $500 were turned over to him.
Paugh failed in his attempt to estab-
lish an alibi that he arrived in Swan
ton later than the crime was commit
ted. While the threats were made to
Mr.. Custer around o'clock one morn
ing, Paugh produced witnesses to the
effect that he was seen boarding a
freight train in the Keyser yards be-
tween 6:15 and $50 on that morning.
Testimony of the train dispatcher Of
the Keyser yards, however, brought
to the stand by Neil C. Fraley, States
Attorney, showed that no freight
trains left the yards near that time on
that day. Paugh is former offender,
having recently returned from serving
time for robbery of store at Vindex.
Other Cases Disposed Of
Other cases already disposed of by
the court included several liquor cases.

pulled the nose of her ship sharply upward and
lifted it by hairs breadth over the edge. Then
the engine sputtered and died just as another cliff

Imagining always

the greater force within us. Imagining always
comes before accomplishment.
Columbus imagined his trip across the broad
ocean before he made the trip. Edison imagined
the electric light before he made the first bulb; {;
Arkwright saw his spinning machine, Bell saw
the telephone, Marconi saw his message without
wires before those things became real.
IMAGINING came first then came THE DEED,
the accomplishment.
The Bible tells u.s. 'In the beginning was the
word" The "word" in not reality, not deed, but
the foreshadowing vision of reality"
Encourage imagination, dreaming the seeing of
visions in your children and in YOURSELF.
He who has ceased dreaming dreams and seeing
visions of better things, Of better work. greater
accomplishment has come to the end of his pro-
ductive life.
Dreaming and seeing visions are worthwhile
IN themselves. Better life filled with happy
dreams and visions, even though reality may
come, than a dull routine existence, with
out the happiness that dreams and visions bring.

Faces in Ethiopia-RuIer and Ruled Far Apart

The Ethiopian masses live
in barbarism, slaughter pris-
oners as they capture them,
fight and horribly mutilate
each other. They have been
ruled by the Ethiopian royal
family from the days of King
Solomon, alleged ancestor Of
Halle Selassie. In 1881,
coming into closer contact
with Europe and recognizing
European customs, Selassie
proclaimed a constitution,
but delayed the first parlia-
ment for three years until
November, 1894. Constitu-
tion and parliament are fic-

and will of this ruler, just
as, for that matter, all power
in Italy resides in one brain,
Mussolini's, in Germany in
Hitler's, while in Russia

Blind love is what makes a
woman think that, when her hus-
band has tired of doing all the
things that he shouldn't do, he
will take a new tack and begin

An optimist is a man who has
just recovered from a baby-grand
passion for the wrong woman and
fondly believes that he will be i'm

his life.
A man can make an awful
clamor about the time and money

to tell him that he's getting a lit

Journeys
MAJORCA

Now that Majorca isn't in the
news so much, many of its regular
visitors and residents who left
during all the recent fuss are re-
turning. And they hope that
their island will remain forgot
ten and even unviSited, save for
the congenial souls who find in
this delightful spot the earthly
paradise for which they have been
seeking.
Majorca is the largest Of the
islands that form the Balearic
archipelago in the Mediterranean
If you plan to be in Europe
early next year, it would be worth
your while to run down to Mar
SeilleS or the Spanish ports and
visit Majorca in January or Feb
ruary when the extensive almond
groves are in blossom. Its mild
climate, the brightness of sun and
sky, the beauty Of the scenery,
the enchantment Of its cove
studded coasts, its lagoons, its
marvellous caves, all make up an
exquisite scene that will leave an
unforgettable memory.

At the head of the Senate COM

He is Carter Glass, diminutive

It was the committee over
which he presides that threat

after it was approved by the
House Committee and which
threatened to break with the
White House at that time over
such a gross expenditure.
