| Would Say
BY A. w. CONAWAY

A fellow said to me the other day
that the farmer has always been the
fifth wheel on the wagon and he
always will be. That's true, but we
must all remember that all wheels
have to be creased once in a while.
And don't forget that the wagon will
not function properly without all
wheels doing their duty; tell your
Congressman.
The United States Senate recently
voted to give the President power to
transfer and consolidate Federal agen-
cies without approval by Congress-
If the President continues to add to
his power, he too, like Stain, will be
able to thank the voters for their
support on the eve of an election.
In order to keep Mussolini at arms
length after his march into Austria,
Hitler said that the boundaries of
Italy would remain inviolate. That
resembled the little terrier who
wagged his tail at the Great Dane
after he had been caught gnaWing at
his bone
Italian soldiers have been practic-
ing the German goose step, so it's
said, to welcome Hitler when he comes
to Italy in the near future. There
are possibly several other nations over
there that are practicing steps to
welcome the dictator when he comes.
You know folks, 1 have it figured
that the goose step can well be made
use of on rough ground, since it gives
the soldiers better opportunity to
clear low projections encountered in
their marches. BY golly, if those die
tatorS keep up their silly tactics they
will probably have to use the step
to good advantage, like the old negro
said when he ran from the police:
BOSS, l wasn't runnin', but l shuah
'nough passed some who were goin'
some"
After being out of prison for 10
years from which he had escaped,
a man was recently apprehended in
California and will be sent back to
complete his original term. The law
wrongly requires its satisfaction in
many cases. The fundamental func-
ton of the prison is for correction
and not so much for confinement.
Therefore, it would seem that when
a man had been 'going straight" for
nearly a score of years, then the real
purpose of his sentence had been
served. However, the courts some
time lean backward in their func-
tons and the wrath of an unseen God
must be appeased, it seems, as in
some old savage legends.
Boy, that's a mother for you'll We
are speaking of the mother of Greta

in romance with Leopold Stokowski,
the symphony director. The mother
possibly was irritated at one of those
easy-to-start and hard-to-stop SYM
phOnieS.
Headline: evil Move Entire Town
to Flood-proof Site" That was writ
ten of town in Illinois. Boy, they
certainly do things different down
there. Out in the DakotaS they are
considering moving the floods to the
towns.
Henry Ford stated recently he
thought that salvation of the United
States lies in the South and it's peo-
pie. l bet you can't guess where
that statement was made. Well, even
if it WAS made in the South, the
big auto man might have enlarged
upon it by advising those Southern
Senators in Congress to listen a lot
and say little. Such action might
get the nation down to the business
of letting the law take its course
rather than bands of lynchers.
They say the truth twill out" 1t
has just been learned that altogether
the net cost of Hitler's Austrian coup
to American investors is 1924 100000.
All, ha, no wonder we can't ignore
European affairs. Of course we knew
before that American money was in
vested there, but it is nice to have
it repeated as the young lady would
say to her lover in insisting he keep
telling her that he loved her. Well,
money talks and its wicked tongue
has gotten us into many scrapes with
foreign neighbors.
You know folks, the case of John
Henry Seadlund is about like the fell
low who wanted to go to Jail and
had tried on numerous occasions to
get arrested, without result. At last
he kicked an Irish policeman on the
shin and was promptly arrested.
Well, the Seadlund fellow signed a
confession that he killed Charles Ross,
wealthy greeting card manufacturer,
after having kidnapped him. A GER
tain court would not believe it and
was going about proving him guilty.
But, by gum, at last Seadlund did
convince the judge that he was pres
ent at the crime, saw himself pull a
gun, aim it at Ross and shoot him to
death.
Then on the other hand, you re-
member the case of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, of course. From a dis
lance it seemed queer indeed that the
man had to pay with his life for
a crime he said to his dying minutes
he did not commit. Well, the law is
funny; once got arrested for speed
ing 35 miles an hour in a city in an
old crate that knew full well would
have fallen apart at that speed. Yep,
mistakes will happen, said the dentist
who pulled the wrong tooth.

Long before the MARS

yard Of Adam Caring. near

fusiOn-because Of a meteO-
rite which struck there. At

the fragments are now being
examined.
Although the meteOrite was
estimated to have been 100
feet in diameter and to have
weighed several tons when it
was at an altitude Of six
miles, it had been reduced to
small StOne-like fragments by
the time it hit.
