the 1888 championship went to-es
all things-a 14-year-old girl! Men
and boys alike hung their heads in
shame when Irene Brown, an I'LL
nois lassie, paraded her 1,l30- pound
Angus steer around the ring. Later
he was sold for S3,785.5O. The only
proud male in the stands was D. A.
Brown, Irene's father, who runs a
400-acre farm in Mercer county and
maintains a purebred Angus herd.
Break Record This Year.
This year, according to the expo
sition'S management, young Amer
lea is coming back stronger than
ever. Boys and girls from Is states
have listed entries for 480 baby
beeves which they will exhibit in
the junior contest. Most youngsters
come from midwest states, and 9TH
ers from Montana, New York, Okla
homa and Texas.
The graybeards won't really be
too angry if another 'teen-age exhibit
tor wins this year. Get them of
in a corner, away from the huff
and bluff of the show ring and
they're apt to be pretty happy about
the whole thing. Tomorrow's farm
ers are starting young, you see, and
what father doesn't hope his son
will be a better man than he was?

Speed Laws Eased in MANY
States; Some Remove
Limit.

Every state in the Union now has
highway safety patrols, Florida hav-
ing authorized the creation of a
corps of state troopers. Florida also
enacted the uniform drivers license
law also sponsored by leading safety
organizations. Forty-fve states now
require operators licenses, Wyo-
ming, Louisiana and South Dakota
being the exceptions.
Inspection Laws Killed.
Advocates of laws requiring COM
pulsory periodic inspection of
brakes, tires, lights and other equip
ment were set back in Nebraska and
Arkansas where inspection laws
were wiped off the books. A SINH
lar bill was vetoed in Oregon by
the chief executive, while Nevada,
California, Wisconsin and Rhode Is
land failed to pass inspection laws
which were introduced. State-owned
inspection stations were disapproved
by the governor of Maryland. How
ever, South Carolina brought private
automobiles under previously
enacted inspection law affecting
trucks and buses, while West Vir-
ginia enacted a periodic check-up
bill.
Scores of bills directed at drunken
driving were enacted, Maine TAX
ing the lead with law providing for
an alcohol, blood test for drivers
who are involved in accidents.
With Washington, North Dakota,
Kansas and Idaho writing uniform
financial responsibility laws for all
vehicles on the statute books, 81
states now require this protection
for persons and property injured by
motorists. No state has yet followed
the lead of Massachusetts, however.
in requiring compulsory insurance
for all vehicles. Eight states reject
ed compulsory insurance proposals
during sessions this year.
Remove Trade Barrier
OF particular interest to operators
of farm vehicles was the repeal of
an artificial trade barrier" law BY
Oklahoma. Truckers and others
have been hampered seriously by the
enactment in Is states of port Of
entry" and other laws which restrict

Solons Find New Interest - the Motorist
10000 Bills Introduced This
Year, but Only 1000
Are Passed.

NEW YORK. - The hard
~ pressed American motor
list has supplanted the equally
as hard-pressed farmer as the
! favorite topic of the nations
lawmakers, it is revealed in a
survey of motor vehicle laws
considered by state legislatures
which have been in session this
year.
More than 10000 bills af-
fecting motorists in one way
or another were introduced in
the "A state legislatures which
convened this year. Of these,
more than 1900 were written
into law, placing the automobile
owner far ahead of the farmer and
even the relief client as the most
legislatively discussed" single class
of persons in the United States.
From the standpoint of motorists
who have campaigned for reduced
taxation and more simplified and
uniform regulations, most of the
new laws are good but a large num-
Der are of doubtful benefit.
Speed Laws Changed.
With solons largely indisposed to
lift any considerable amount of the
81 $40 ZOO, 900 tax burden carried by
motor vehicles, automobile owners
can derive a modicum of satisfac-
ton from the liberalization of speed
laws in a number of states. Limits
which were ridiculously low against
the background of automotive devel-
opment have been stepped up to as
high as a legal so and even 60 miles
an hour for daylight driving in sew
eral states. Several other common
wealths followed the lead of Tennes-
see by avoiding definite limit and
simply warning motorists to BE
Reasonable.
Dozens of bills reinforced and re-
defined existing legislation. A not
able example was set by Pennsyl-
vania which gained national praise
several years ago by enacting So
mile speed limit and conducting a
statewide personal pledge campaign
among drivers to insure better OBJ
servance. Recognizing that more
liberal speed limits and continued
running at high speeds require that
cars and equipment be in good con-
dition. the Keystone state solons

Strange Facts
Buddha Statues Lead
' Printers Passion
Bullets Penetration

Throughout the world, statues of
Buddha far outnumber those of
Christ. In China and Japan, par
ticularly, millions of them, vary
ing greatly in size and shape, fill
temples, courtyards, caverns and
public and private gardens. 1t is
not unusual to find 10000 small
Buddhas carved in the walls of a
remote and abandoned cave.
Found unconscious in the street,
a young Hungarian printer stated
that, Tilted by his girl, he had set
her full name and address in large
type and swallowed the lot.
The penetrating power of a bull
let sometimes depends more on
its type and target than on its
velocity. During tests in which
pointed bullets were fired into
moist sand, the penetration was 10
inches at so feet, IA inches at 300
feet and 16 inches at $500 feet

You Needn't Be Old to Raise Cattle:
Child Menace Hits Livestock Show
Youngsters Have Won Four
Championships in Ten
Years.
By ARNOLD PATTEN

Released by Western Newspaper Union.1
CHICAGO. = Once upon a
~ time you had to be a gray
beard cattleman or your entry
didn't stand a chance of winning
the top honor at Chicago's Inter-
national Livestock exposition
the grand champion steer
award.
Nowadays you've got to be
a youngster, and probably a
girl at that. For if recent ex-
perience is any criterion, the
grand award at this years
show-December 2 to 9-may
very likely 60 to a beardless
youth who will thereby prove that
modern scientific cattle raising can
compete any day with the old FASH
ioned rough-and-ready tactics.
Four times in the past 10 years
the championship has gone to ami
mails shown by youngsters, who in
earlier years were politely tolerated
by the adult showmen. It's quite an
honor, too, because the winning
steer is selected from among two
or three thousand of the finest beef
animals North America can pro-
duce.

and girls between the ages of 10 and
20. A few years later-and oldsters
still rue the day-top winners of the
junior contest were permitted to
compete in open classes.
Despite bit of jealousy, these
veterans were little proud of farm
youth on that dramatic day in 1928
when 12-year-old Clarence Goecke,
a All clubber from Iowa, trudged
into the ring and defeated all con-
tenders with his Hereford baby beef,
"Dick."
Like all winners, "Dick" was auc-
toned off at premium prices to a
hotel or railroad, or maybe it was
a steamship line. Anyway, he
brought new all-time record of 81
for each of his 1,150 pounds! That
meant S8,050, and the proceeds were
used to found Hereford herd on
the Goecke farm out in Marshall
county, and to provide for the edu-
cation of Clarence, his brothers and
sisters.
Today all Iowa farm folks know
Clarence as a member of the Goecke
family firm, successful cattle feed
ers.
Brown Wins Next Year.
The same year young Goecke won
the championship, reserve cham
pion ribbon in the junior classes
went to another Iowa Strapling, Ell
lott Brown. Next year Elliott came
back and won the grand champion
ship with an Angus steer, Lucky
Strike, This steer brought even a
better price-S8.25 a pound, which
is still record. Today young Brown
has a purebred Aberdeen-Angus
herd.

SCOUTING GOES FORWARD

Majority of Key West residents are
interested in Boy Scouts. Many of the
oldsters are in scouting themselves, help
ing to direct the affairs of the local troops
seeing to it that our boys have a fair
chance to become good citizens of the
city, state and nation.
And scouting has gone forward in the
past year in Key West. There are more
troops in existence than have been for a
long, long time. Membership in the troops
is increasing right along, proof of the ex-
cellent program of interesting activities of
fered the boys. Scoutmasters are perform
ing in noteworthy style deserving of high
praise from one and all.
Now comes news of a contemplated
campsite for scouts. Excellent, we say
and the whole city joins with us.
There is nothing that will warm the
heart of boy more than a place he can
call his very own, or at least, can feel he
is share-owner in it. We have seen fair
evidence of highly successful scouting pro-
grams built entirely around the fact that
local troops have a campsite to gather
around on wekends and during long sum-
mer months Boys really shine forth and
demonstrate an abundance of what it
takes to become good citizens when they
have things to do connected with building
camp, then cooperating to run the camp
properly.
The Key West Boy Scout committee
is doing mighty fine thing to start
initial moves to obtain the site on Stock Is
land. Next move is application at the
City Council meeting tonight for free
lease arrangement. That will be granted,
we are sure. Then to take the next steps.

HOLES IN THE DYKE

During the course of the past ten
years, the business world has undergone a
series of vital changes which have affected
its very foundation. Business methods
were, of necessity, altered to meet chang
ing conditions, conditions which have
made it difficult for some businesses to
keep going.
Most of us remember the story of the
little Dutch boy who saved the town by
using his thumb to plug the hole in the
dyke. That may, perhaps, seem quite ir-
relevant to the subject under discussion,
but let us regard the business world as an
immense dyke which has suddenly sprung
a number of leaks. Unless those holes are
plugged our commercial well-being will be
endangered - J.
Let each Of us assume the responsible
ties which are rightfully ours; let each of
us strive for the solution of problems which
we are best fitted to solve. Only in this
way, through longtime, long-term plans
of procedure can the ailments of the BUSH
ness world be solved. Let each of us stop
the leak in the dyke which endangers our
particular vocation, and in so doing, con-
tribute to the general well-being of So
ciety.

FACING OLD ACE

Age depends on ones state of mind as
well as upon the number of his years, ac-
cording to DIR. Donald A. Laird, who gives
six rules for avoiding an unhappy, grouchy
old age. Condensed, they are:
/. Keep in good health. Avoiding
worry will work wonders.
2. Maintain an intellectual interest in
many things. 80
8. Enjoy your relatives and children,
but don't live with them if you can pos
sibly avoid it.
4. Mingle with the younger crowd at
least occasionally. Retain membership in
your club, lodge and church, and be active.
5. Choose hobbies and recreations
which keep the hands busy, the mind oc-
cupied.
6. Prepare for old age by organizing
your thoughts, your life philosophy and
your activities in middle age.
