A RTHUR YOUNG. former British
Secretary of the Board of Agri-
culture who made a fortune writing
books on how to farm" himself was
unable to make a living tilling the
soil!
Strange as it seems. this great
authority, whose Annals Of Agricul-
ture" for years have been the farm
bibles" Of England, Russia and France,
four times tried to make 60 of farm
ing-and four times failed at it.
Born in London, l74l, Young at %
went to Bradfield, where his mother
gave him 80 acres to farm. After
three years. Young checked his budget
and found he was operating at a tre-
mendous loss
Later, he assumed management OF
fine 300-acre farm in Essex, where
he launched several new experiments
in farming. Needless to say, Young
again lost money, and finally paid a
farmer $500 to take the job of his
hands. His successor made a fortune
from the place. =
Finding himself in financial diff
Guilty, Young wrote and sold a book
on the subject he knew best but

West opened his fourth best dia-
mond, and East's jack was won by
declarer's queen. Declarer now laid
down the queen Of spades, whereupon
East made what he considered the
brilliant play Of failing to win It
will be noted that on this particular
hand East should have visualized the
possibility of an end play, since he held
the king and jack of hearts and the
king of clubs. Declarer now stopped
a minute and reasoned, quite properly,
that If West had held the king of
spades, he would have covered the
queen, hence he now had the spade
king located.
Accordingly, he played low club
and finessed the jack. East winning
with the singleton king and returning
the eight of diamonds. Declarer COW
cred with the nine, West winning with
the ten and shifting to heart. De-
clarer played the ten from dummy
which was won by East's jack. Now
East played back his third diamond,
declarer winning with the ace and
discarding heart from dummy; de-
clarer now cashed the ace and queen
OF clubs, stopping in his own hand
and led the six Of spades. He went
right up with dummy's ace and re-
turned the seven-spot. East now won
with the king and was forced to lead
q heart up to dummy's tenface, three
tricks with the ace and queen Of hearts
and that thirteenth spade, thereby full
filling his contract
Incidentally, If declarer had known
about the singleton king Of clubs, he
could have made his contract anyway
by simply not finessing the clubs, but
naturally he could not be expected to
know everything.

Remarkable Coins
Exhibited at Bank.

Bayport-A coin collection containing
more than 5000 pieces was displayed at
a local bank recently. The display of
fered a rare opportunity to glance into
the past of coin making in the United
States. Most remarkable coin in the
collection was one of those chimerical
pieces that everyone has heard about
and practically no one has seen, a 1913
Liberty head nickle. Less than ten of
these coins ever got into circulation.
The Oldest coin is 1776 penny and the
next is a 1899 dollar. He has complete
series of dimes, dating back to 1923 and
he has like series of half dimes dating
back to 1929 and continuing until they
were no longer minted. Several I'M
usual coins are included in the display.
Among them are commemorative coin
struck off for the succession of Edward
to the English crown, and two spoons
made of Canadian dimes. A few very
unusual Chinese coins are also among
the collection. Most coins going into
the collection now are comparatively
new, being commemorative issues of
various coins struck off in honor of
some particular event, such as worlds

BOYS TOWN"
ON ELY SCREEN
Many Ely People Contribute
to Father Ed. Flanagan's
Boys Town Project.

Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney,
reunited for the first time since their
memorable performances in Captain
Courageous" which won Tracy the
Academy Award, are starred in Boys
Town." which opens a two day show
ing, Sunday and Monday, with Satur-
day night prevue at the Ely Theatre.
For the first time in his career,
Tracy portrays living man on the
screen, Father Edward j. Flanagan,
one of the greatest humanitarians of
this day, who served as technical ad-
wiser on the production. True-life story
of Father Flanagan, the film reveals
his dramatic twenty-one year struggle
to found a home for neglected and
abandoned boys.
| More than a year ago the studio be-
came interested in Boys Town. the only
incorporated village of its kind in the
world. This city of little men, governed
and operated by youngsters who range
in age from six to eighteen, has a
population of 275, of which 200 are boys
and is situated on the main highway
west of Omaha, Nebraska.
1t was from Father Flanagan'S files
the records left by his boys, that Di-
rector Norman Taurog and ScenaristS
John Meehan and Dore Schary found
the rich material for Boys Town" In
gripping terms of human drama, it tells
the battle waged by Father Flanagan
to save boys from lives of crime and hi!

was too tough for Boys Town.

Boys Town and Father Flanagan have

PheasGnts ROOst Under
"NO Hunting" Sign

DawSon-Plenty of stories come to
light during hunting season, but here is
one that is not so bad. Mel Lund and
Oliver Dale were out in search of
pheasants on Monday and were not
having very good luck Driving along
one of the side roads they noticed a
field posted with mo Hunting" signs.
Directly underneath the sign were six
fine cock pheasantS. Being law-abiding
hunters, the young men drove up to the
farmers yard to get permission to hunt
the field, but the farmer had turned
down several requests and made no ex-
ception in their case. The young men
drove past the spot where they had seen
the pheasants and sure enough, the
birds were still there-evidently having
lot of faith in the sign. The believe
it or not part of the story is that
Messrs. Lund and Dale did not shoot
at the birds, but respected the rights of
the farmer.

Fishing "TOO Good" at
Granite Falls Dam.

Granite Falls-Fishing was too good
for John Kruse, local commercial fisher
man, when the pond above the munich
pal dam was drained recently to permit
repair work. AS the water was lowered
in the pond, Kruse stationed himself at
a stragetic point on the mud pond bed
just above the open gates. The water
slowly receded until finally there was
only small stream left flowing in the
original river course. KruSe strung his
big net directly in the channel a few
yards upstream from the dam. From
the bridge thousands of carp, buffalo,
sheephead and pickerel could be seen
coming downstream in the small
channel where they had gone to escape
being marooned on the mud flats. The
fish hit the net, as Kruse planned, but
there were far too many of them. There
was so many, in fact, that they went
right through, and carload catch was
suddenly reduced to about 400 pounds
"The ones that got away" were esti-
mated at $4,000 pounds.
