BY Il. MOSES JONES

On last Friday afternoon, p. M,
while after dinner and just before
started thinking about supper-time;
Just after l had seen those four Hen
derson ladies eating weenies as tho
ugh their hearts would break; along
and up walked one of George Vests
sons grinning from year to year he
very soonly informed me that he had
went and came after me for TO taken
me out to the annual chilling supper
at their home.
AS l had been afore- warned that
this event might possibly take place
on the date of that Friday night, /
myself, and the Jones Twins were
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
young man who had driven the twelve
or more miles from out beyond Mour-
tain Creek church, just to transport
us out for the occasion.
So we went by Happy Allgoods and
Melford Burns filling station and got
some oil for the car and also a gal-
lon of kerosene, then wendell our way
onward. We reached there before
dark, just in time to see a car full
of town folks leavin. They had gone
out to have their fortunes told by the
renowned and ar-famed Clarence

He also said that in the first two
or three months of this year that
would get settled down into some kind
of business which would turn out
most beneficial to me in every way,
and that I would really amount TO
something during the next three or
four years. And want you to know
that that was very encouraging, as I
have been here for forty odd eyars.
and have UP to now never amounted
to a row of pins or hill of beans.
l think I could very willingly work
hard for four more years if | had
even a "Chinaman's chance" of being
something by then.
At bedtime one of the boys, assist
ed by Clarence Bailey, brought Us
back home. We truly hope we and
the Vests can live until another chit
ling supper. Mrs. West is sister of
Hammett Hayes, where Moses Jr.
and myself went to supper before
Christmas. Mrs. West sent Mrs. Jones
a big jar of nice pear preserves to
help keep us all, sweet. And until next
time.

Laymen Out Argue
Teachers For Once,
Report Indicates
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By G.. LYNN NESBET.

Raleigh, Jan. lott is almost axio-
matte in North Carolina that when
half dozen school teachers combine
to go after something they get it. An
inside story on the deliberations Of
the Governors Committee on Educa-
ton shows that in one instance at
least the teachers took second place,
although the subject matter under dis
cussion was their particular province.
The committees report, now in the
hands of the governor and members
of the General Assembly was unani-
mously adopted and was signed by all
members of the board During the
public hearings and the private dis
cussion there was not at any time any
overt discord. But the lay committee
men really ran the show. Early in
the activities of the group some OF
the teacher members behaved as i
they thought the laymen were there
Just to give a non-partisan appear
ance to the report. They soon found
that that it was almost the other way
around
When DR.. Clyde Erwin, superinten-
dent of public instruction, appeared
before the committee, the teacher
members were unusually deferential,
because he was their big boss To
newspapermen and farmers he was
just another witness" and they pro-
ceeded to cross examine him in real
court room style. Then when the com
mittee reached the item of the States
control of schools and the duplication
of department of education and
school commission activities, the
teachers also wanted to tread very
softly, because both agencies had
much to do with how the teachers
would fare next year. Again the lay
men were thinking only of the good
of the State, the welfare of the chill
dren and they had no jobs at stake.
even indirectly.
The candid tone of the report the
recommendation for virtual abolition
of the school commission, and the pro-
posal for gradual approach to the
twelfth grade in standard high schools
were distinctly contributions Of the
Jay members.

Power Co. Sues For
Right-Of-Way

William A. and Olive E. Gossman,
of Liberty township, have been
named defendants in a suit filed by
the Ohio Power Co., which seeks to
gain a right-of-way for a power
line across their farm.
The petition asserts the company
is preparing to construct a line from
it's existing steel tower high-tension
line to the village of McComb. The
McComb branch would leave the
present line on the Charles Chase
farm and extend northwest toward
the village along the line of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The company seeks to erect Is
wooden poles across the Gossman
farm, 90 feet south of the railroad
but says the defendants have de-
manded an exhorbitant amount for
the right to cross their premises" and
"have refused to grant this plaintiff
permission to enter upon the prem
ises for the purpose of making a
preliminary examination and survey.

Hardin Praised As
Poultry Pioneer

The part played by Hardin county,
Ohio, in development of the poultry
industry, was cited by Erie A. Mis-
son, acknowledgement hatcheryman
of Petaluma, Calf, in an address
before the World Poultry Congress.
Discussing specialization in the
industry, Nilsson said:
Started chick development did not
come until the battery brooder was
a practical tool, which was about
1926, altho we did have battery
brooders earlier. The first we know
of was used as a sort of showcase
by George W. Cox of Kenton, Ohio,
in 1913"
Concerning hatcheries for other
fowl, Nilsson stated:
"There are few exclusive duck
hatcheries in the United States and
these are usually connected with or
are a part of commercial duck
farms. There is, however, large
hatchery in Ohio, at Ridgeway, spe-
cializing in ducklings."

Train Whistle Sticks,

"Has war been declared?", was
the query received by Kenton police
in one of the numerous telephone
calls received Wednesday night when
the whistle of a northbound New
York Central freight train stuck.
The train passed through Kenton
about HIS p. m. and the whistle
stuck when the engineer sounded
off, for the first crossing in Ken
ton. The only other occupant of the
locomotive was the fireman and both
men were kept busy during the grade
climb through and west of the city.
As a result the shrill whistle con-
tinued until one of the men had time
to climb out and make the necessary
repairs.

Exhaustion Brings

man, with Elmer Arnett, also of
Arcadia, went to the G. F. Davis
farm, one-half mile east of the vii
