In the pocket of a ragged coat be-
longing to one of the inmates of the
Chicago poorhouse, I am told, there
was found, after his death, a will.
The man had been a lawyer. So
unusual was it that it was sent to
an attorney; and the story goes that
he was so impressed with its con-
tents that he read it before the Chi
cago Bar Association, and that later
it was ordered probated. And this
is the will of the ragged old inmate
of the Chicago poorhouse.
81, Charles Lounsberry, being of
sound and disposing mind and mem
ory, do hereby make and publish
this my last will and testament in
order to distribute my interest in the
world among succeeding men.
That part of my interest which is
known in law as my property, being
inconsiderable and of no account,
make no disposition of. My right to
live, being but a life estate, is not
at my disposal, but, these things ex-
cepted, all else in the world l now
proceed to devise and bequeath.
Item: l give to good fathers and
mothers, in trust for their children,
all good little words of praise and
encouragement, and all quaint pet
names and endearments, and
charge said parents to use them just
ly, but generously, as the deeds of
their children shall require.
Item: I leave to children inclusive
ly, but only for the term of their
childhood, all and every flower of
the field and the blossoms of the
woods, with the right to play among
them freely according to the Gus
tom Of children, warning them at
the same time against thistles and
thorns. And / devise to children

golden sands beneath the waters

and Shakespeare and other poets, if
there be others, to the end that they

Item: To the loved ones with
snowy crowns, l beelueath the happi-
ness of old age, the love and graft
tude of their children until they fall

GREAT ACTRESS COMING
IN LIGHT COMEDY PORTRAYAL

Bette Davis. with George Brent
playing opposite her in the masculine
lead, comes to the Kootenai Theatre
in the fast moving comedy drama,
The Golden Arrow"
Miss Davis appears in a role quite
different from those which won her
the award of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences as the best
film actress of 1885. In The Golden
Arrow she gives light comedy por-
trayal with romantic twist, which in
wolves also some dramatic moments.
Brent's role is also largely comedy
he being a shy young reporter, whose
chief interest is book he is writing
but who finds time to fall in love with
the blonde Bette after series of mis-
understandings and flirtatious entangle-
ments which nearly break the course
of true love.

Highway Building
Gives Work To 1850

HELENA.--A big factor during the
past summer in furnishing work to the
unemployed in Montana has been the
new construction work and repair and
maintenance Of highways, roads and
streets.
A report given out by D. A. McKin-
non chief state highway engineer places
the number Of men employed on Mon
tana highway projects during the first
half of August at $3.50 and of this
number 1859 or all but 81 are listed
as residents of the state. This force is
in addition to the regular state en-
ployes of the highway department. the
road men. the engineering and office
forces and other employees of the de-
partment. The latter adds close to a
thousand more who are given work
through this department
The funds for this come from two
sources mainly, the federal aid ap-
preparations and the gasoline tax fur
nished through the state laws. 81
The division of men employed by
contractors in August, according to
districts, Mr.. McKinnon gives as fol-
lows.

Tourist Travel Skaters
All Previous Records

IENA.--Tburist travel to Mon
tana this year will shatter all previous
records, according to Montanans Inc,
the State Chamber Of Commerce. AL
though from now on to the closing of
the national parks there will be a
steady decline in the number OF visit
ors, it is certain that the season has
been exceptionally productive of travel
to this state and a splendid increase
over 1885 will be registered" says a
statement by that organization.
Our advertising campaign this year
has covered Is states with a series of
four newspaper advertisements. We
have had space in four of the largest
travel editions of the United States, 10
of the leading educational journals and
in outdoor life magazines. In addition
we have had contact men covering
tourist and travel agencies in all ex-
cept the far eastern strip of the United
States. We have answered over 12,-
900 Individual inquiries concerning
trips to Montana and have distributed
over 100000 pieces Of Montana liter
ature. We have had travel bureaus al
the International Travel Exposition in
Chicago and at the Diamond Jubilee
in South Dakota. We have sent on,
hundreds Of pictures Of Montana seen
cry and numerous descriptive articles
The reports from the national parks
show that this advertising campaign
has brought results. The increase seems
certain to be over SO per cent in both
automobiles and passengers. Train
travel as well shows fine increase
over 1885. The final and most accurate

1 Gee, your wrestling was signt to see. Put on some more stunts with the bear, unless you're get ting scared"
 LAW, I was fooling," Scouty said. "1'm really not a sleepyhead, and neither am I frightened. You have seen how well fared."
 The bear then stood up on his feet. "Eey, look," cried Dotty. That is neat" And then she turned to scouty and exclaimed, Teach him to dance.
 "He seems to like you very well. He may be clever. Who can tell?" Brave Scouty smiled and said, "Okay. I'll gladly take @ chance"
 He grabbed the bears paw. Nov watch me, and do whate'er I do," said he. Then Scouty started danc- ing and the bear began to hop.
 It filled the Tinies with delight and they all laughed with all their might. "Thats wonderful" wee Goldy loudly shouted. Please don't (Copyright 1oss, NEA Service Inc)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-01-17

The black bear Scouty tackled was an easy beast to hold because he weighed but very little. Scouty weighed about the same. They tugged g while and fopped around, and finally dropped down to the ground. Said Scouty to the other Tinies, Gee, this beast is game"
 Lets see you put him on his back, and then I'll gladly take a crack at doing it," said Coppy. "IIl admit I'm pretty strong"
 Say, this is my pet" Scouty cried. Right now I have him on his side. I'm going to have the fun with him. You better run along"
 Then, shortly, Scouty grew tired out, and stopped the thrilling wrest- ling bout. He gave the bear @ shove and said, T think I'll take a nap.
 "You scamper right along and play, but please come back some other day" The funny bear, how ever, snuggled right in Scoutys lap.
 Don't go to sleep" cried Goldy.

TALK VAN|)ENBERC
AS DARK HORSE
His Home State, Industrial
Michigan, Looks Favor
ably on Senator
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

TALK IN THE industrial districts
remains largely Vandenberg Gas a
dark horse) for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. (This column has
been of the opinion that Gov Alfred
M. Landon of Kansas would win the
nomination on the second ballot-as
remarked ten days ago. The lineup of
delegates still looks that way But the
talk in the Industrial districts re-
mains largely for Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg of Michigan)
The queer part of it all is that Van
denberg's own state of Michigan has
begun to give Republican insiders
some doubts. 1t scitizens have been
showing strong pro-Roosevelt mani
festations. Yet there is hardly a news
paper in the state that is for the
president. And the Democrats have no
organization to compare with the Re
publicans. And additionally the state
is Republican. 1t is zone of those
things"
COUZENS
Senator James Couzens will be up
for denomination in Michigan.

ilOl, Hoo OCC4UCO W OppOSc OOUZ0uS
for denomination, in spite of advice
against such action given by Cover
nor Frank D. Fitzgerald, titular head
of the party in the state.
Governor Fitzgerald remarked:
"The task Of the Republicans this
year is to defeat a party which is not
in sympathy with our policies. Senator
Couzens has been elected twice Ito the
senate) on the Republican ticket. He
is entitled to the denomination unop-
posed.
II do not believe we should attempt
to drive out of the party public Of
fetal who has a strong Republican
following"
Does that mean pro-New Deal Sena
tor Couzens could swing the votes
| anyway? 1t is so interpreted
| VANDENBERG
IF Michigan, therefore, is weak
would the Republicans not be tempted
| to nominate a native son for presi
| dent Would that line up Michigan
and probably have some effect, too, or
the sister states of Ohio and Indiana
essential to the Republican cause?
| Such thoughts are in Republican
minds. Thus it would not he wise tt
count Vandenberg out Of the running
until the fateful second or third bal
lot in Cleveland.

DOWE[L FAILS To
BLAST SALES TAX
S'ecretary's Annual Report
to Merchants Endorses
Old Age Pensions
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
BY j. C. RASKERVIvL

Raleigh, April 21.-Political roper
cussions from the 34th annual conven-
tion of the North Carolina Merchants
Association, bitter opponents of the
States general sales tax, were ex-
tremely nOn-explosive during the first
day of the two-day meeting, which
convened here Monday:
One of the first surprises sprung
during the convention was the failure
of Executive Secretary Willard l..
Dowell, Of Raleigh, candidate for the
position of State auditor, to crack
down on the sales tax in his annual
report to the convention. The sales tax
was vigorously assailed, however, by
j. G. Harrison, of Mt. Airy, president
of the association.
Dowell's only reference to the sales
tax was a statement in which he as
serted that any merchant of the State
who had been called upon to pay the
levy on merchandise sold by him but
shipped out of the State would be due
a refund Of whatever amount he had
paid, through a ruling by the State
Department of Revenue.
The Dowen report, furthermore,
confined other political references to
an endorsement of the old age pen
sion plan, urging that merchants of
the State use their influence to see
that North Carolina adopted legisla-
ton in that respect which would as
sure this State of proper participation
in federal benefits for that purpose.
Officials of the association denied
that DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald arch foe
of the sales tax, or any other political
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or otherwise
had been invited to speak before the
convention. However, DR.. Mcdonald
was seen about the lobby and eating
places of the Sir Walter hotel, head
quarters of the convention, giving the
glad-hand to delegates. It was intimat.
ed by number of delegates-not Of
ficers Of the association-that DR.. Nc

going to aid of any other candidate is
fer this candidate to have opposition,
anG thus force him to stay home and
dc his scratching in his own back
yard.
Thus the Hoey forces are credited
with having done some smart political
manipulating in persuading Scott to-
oppose Graham for Commissioner of
Agriculture-if they had any hand in
his running-since Scott is expected
to keep Graham SO busy working in
his own back yard that he will not
have any opportunity to help Sandy
Graham in his campaign for COVER
nor. Likewise, the Graham forces are
being credited with having had some
thing to do with the last-minute filing
OF Mrs. Whol as a candidate for State
Treasurer, since she is expected to put
something of a crimp in Charlie John
sons alleged political activity in be-
half Of Mr.. Hoey. At any rate, these
are some of the stories being heard
as the political music goes round and
round, TO come out nobody knows
where.
