BISBEE
JAILED IN PROBE
OF IVES

"HOratiO Bisbee, professor of
history at Bardsdale college, was
in custody here last night as a ma
terial witness in the shooting of
John Ives, former banker. at Wild
wood lodge Wednesday night. Pos
slbllity of a more serious charge
was considered when it was dis
closed that Bisbee recently asked
Ives for a large financial cOntribu-
ton to the college library fund,
and was turned down
"There was no friendship be

Dan j. Williams told a Clarion re-

laid the wet paper on the kitchen
table and lighted the gas stove. It
made him uncomfortable t. learn
that John Jones was a mystery to
the newspapers, too. Even more Of
a mystery than he was to Henry.
big man from the city-With the
stony face and CLASSY eyes-had
taken up residence as a boarder in
the Potter household.
Henry could hear his wife
Martha as she walked around in
the bedroom upstairs. He decided
that in this ~thin-Walled house
they'd better pitch their conversar
tons lower if they wanted to have
privacy.
1t had seemed a good idea to
take John Jones into keep an
eye on the man Henry suspected
was following him, and to collect
a good rent but Henry was be-
| ginning to have misgivings about
him. Mrs. Potter talked too much,
and their son Richard was always
bursting with questions. 1t was 60
ing to be embarrassing.
Richard wasn't up yet. Henry
decided to go to his room and have
a heart to heart talk with him. The
boy must be told it was impolite
to discuss family affairs with q
stranger.
Richard, for example, had COM
planned vigorously when Henry
and Jones came back from the hos
pital the night before, and the boy
learned he had missed a near-mur-
der and the even more exciting
meeting of the model railroad club.
Henry had protested all over
again that he wasn't playing with
trains for the pleasure he got out
Of it-that he wouldn't be mixed
up with the railroaders at all II
he hadn't dropped in on them by
accident Wednesday night, to get
out of the rain.
Jones listened closely to the FAM
lily argument - too closely for
fIenry's comfort. The little clerk
was aware that he may have
sounded guilty, because he was be-
coming interested in the trains in
spite of himself.
He'd quiet Richard by promising
to take him to sec the railroad
soon.
Henry started up the stairs,
hoping to tiptoe past Jones room
to Richards without being heard.
He was surprised to note that the
door of the bOarder's room IA
rarity ajar, and he could not re-
aist the temptation to peek through
the crack. His son was inside!
Henry pushed the door open
suddenly. "Eichard, Don't you
know better than to poster a man
With questions at this time of 49,"
He stopped, his mouth open. John
zones was not there.
The boy stood in front Of the
dresser, his hands in the partly
open top drawer. He looked at his
tather with wide eyes, but not
2uiltily.
Henry was horror-struck. Rich

How To Keep Young

A Salt Lake City high schooi
teacher, who recently retired at the
age of 20, said that association in
school with young people had kept
him young.
1t used to be thought that people
were old soon after they became 50
years of age. The ladies of that age
were apt to spend their evenings
knitting in the chimney corner, and
many Of the men went to bed at $3.50
O'Clock. They got out of touch with
life, and hence felt old and were old.
The modern old-timer tries to keep
up with younger persons, and do the
things they do. He keeps playing
the games of youth. so far as he is
able. If he can't walk as far around
the golf links as the youngster of rs,
at least he goes as far as he can.
He still hollers at the ball games.
With these interests, the years pass
lightly over his head.
Milford chronicle., 1941-01-10
No Army To Europe

President Roosevelt stated in his
recent "fireside talk" that there is no
intention in the government of send
ing any army to Europe. This state
ment is in harmony with the strong
feeling Of the American people
against any repetition of the exper-
fences Of the World war. In that
war they sent a vast army overseas.
1t accomplished marvellous deeds,
but the great sacrifices and achieve
ments of that force were not suffi-
cient to preserve peace. The world
might have been better off if the
United States had stayed out of that
war.
Sending an american army over
seas now might not accomplish any
thing, and might do more harm than
good. The enormous cost Of such an
expedition would better be spent ON
defense preparations to protect the
United States, and on munitions to
be sold or loaned to Britain. whose
success in this war would save
America from terrible danger.
