ONCE KNEW A PROMINENT POLITI-
clan who was chided with one of his appoint
ees who was known as being very unreliable
and some even went so far as to call him a
crock. Being told of this he remarked:

Q Q
ANYONE WHO HAS FISHED OR AS
ISOLATED with fishermen has heard consider
able discussion of the relationship of the
muskellunge, Great Northern and lowly
pickerel. We've known a good many anna
teur naturalists who could get quite worked
up on the subject.
Now a state university zoologist comes
forward with the news that experiments in
crossing the muskie and Great Northern
have been successful and have resulted in
the starting of new species. The cross is
said to be gamer and to grow twice as fast
as the breeds of it's parentage.
But what an argument is going to re-
suit when you hook one.
SHED A TEAR FOR THE ABUSED
state employee. Once required to work a
long 3212 hour week, he has already had his
labor heightened to 35 hours and now faces
a 3712 week under this slave-driver Stas-
sen.
Surely this is abuse Think of having
to be at the office, chained to desk almost,
/. from IN. to A 80 p M daily with an
hour for lunch) -612 hours and then having
to come back Saturday to toll an additional
five hours-it's horrible.
So horrible in fact that the state some
times has hundreds of applicants for single
job-taXpayerS, no doubt, who would put up
with anything to get some of their money
back.
DEATH OF DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
in Hollywood this week recalls the days. of
the glorious soundless flckers in which the
acme in film excitement was watching Doug
swing from one balcony to another on a
convenient vine or being amazed at the
shooting ability of Bill Hart.
That was before Frankenstein of the
horror movie era, before Valentino, idol of
the matinee goers and the gangster pictures
OF Edwin G. Robinson or the exploits of Tar
ian. Chaplin was the chief funny man of
the day, Mary Pickford the "child" star and
Gilda Grey, the oomph girl of the period
even before cit was word to inspire raised
eyebrows.
Loug was one of the men responsible
for the popularity of the cinema one of
these who helped raise screen entertainment
to its high present day level
1t will not be surprising if some of his
pictures are busted off and played again fol
lowing his demise and not uniting if one is
made of his contribution to the industry.
With most of US who have seen his pictures
over quarter of a century or more, he has
had few equals.
