at least, to warn other crabs to stay
out of homes which are in use.
Some of the shelled animals
known as mussels have visitors in
side their shells. These visitors are
the little pea crabs.
The body of the pea crab is less
than an inch wide, and the tiny
animal would hardly be safe out in
the great world. So it seeks out a
shellfish-sometimes cookie instead
OF a mussel-and gets under cover.
People of ancient times knew
about the pea crab and its habits.
They said that its host gave 1t food,
and that in return it pinched the
host as a warning of danger!
Grabs can walk or crawl in any
direction - forward, backward or
sidewise. Most often they travel
sidewise.
The largest members of the family
are the giant spider crabs. They
make their homes in the Pacific
Ocean, chiefly around the Islands of
Japan. Sometimes they are called
giant Japanese crabs -,
These huge crabs have bodies
which may measure Is inches in
length by IL inches in width. That,
however, Is only part of the story.
Spreading out from the body are
legs from A to 5 feet long! If the
legs are stretched to the greatest
width they may cover a space of IL
or IL feet!

Some crabs are able to make noises
Of one kind Of another. Among
these are the ghost crabs" which
are noted for their ability to move
fast. They live in colonies on sandy
beaches and their homes are hollows
in the sand.
Those swift-footed crabs are able
to produce noise by rubbing their
claws over rough parts of their
shells. The claw is rubbed over
part which would be like the edge of
the chest-if crab had q chest!
The noises seem to be made, in part

Pass Pass
If today's hand had been properly
bid, the novel play it illustrates
might have been lost to posterity
As 1t was. however, comedy OF
errors in the bidding led to a unique
play for a contract. ..
The king of hearts was led. Had
South let it hold, anything but
spade shift would have enabled him
to make the hand by squeezing West
in spades and hearts. However,
South chose to win the trick, shak-
ing spade in dummy.
South led spade, and the finesse
held. Now, more out of desperation
than hope, South ran all his clubs.
When East followed five times,
South saw ray of light. He led
the king Of diamonds from dummy
and then the queen. Now came the
master stroke. South overlook the
queen with his own ace and then
played a small diamond. East had
to win and then had to lead a spade
up to the A-Q-J in dummy, picking
up his partners king, which was
doubleton by that time.
Strangely enough, there was no
defense that would allow East to
squirm out of the trap. But few and
far between are the bridge hands
that are made by deliberately set
ting up losing trick in a solid
suit and throwing the lead with it.

glad to take them, as-was, because
of their reassuring conclusion that,
even though you were wounded, the

Now here is practically the

The general has commanded the

reached that ultimate goal of all
commissions in his corps after 80
years of service. Fifty-six now, born
a Marylander, he was graduated
from the State University of Mary

1918. Like most good doctors he
follows the advice he gives all pa
tients and controls his weight.
His special field is surgery
with particular leaning toward
orthopedics. And he should be

Contentment to an unusual degree
seems to have settled over Owen
county, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sat
isfaction even with the New Deal.
There are rumblings of discomfort
with the many restrictions which
Washington bureaus have placed
upon these people-but, on the
whole, they feel that the Democratic
administration has brought tremen-
dous benefits to them.
Owenton, prosperous town of
some 1900 persons, is the county
seat. Owen county has population
of about 10000. It's people patronize
Owenton's progressive merchants,
whose stores, in general, are more
modern than those to be found in
most rural small towns.
Perhaps the secret of Owen coun-
tvs acceptance of the New Deal lies
in the fact that the town and farm
folk of this community have had the
initiative to organize their own af-
fairs. The New Deal agencies, find
ing this high degree of local initia-
tive, have been inclined to interfere
less than in. communities not so
much in sympathy with its basic
aims.
Owenton citizens will tell you that
the spirit of cooperation which
fourishes in the county stems very
largely from the leadership of Reu-
ben H. Proctor, former president of
the County Farm Bureau federation,
now director of the State Farm bu-
reau. Not only did he show them
how to work together, but he devel-
oped leaders who co-operated on a
long-term program of advancement
for the farms of the area.
Today home production of food
supply is controlled by home COM
mittee of members through 233
neighborhood leaders directing the
activities of 685 farm families. A
total of 973 boys and girls are en-
rolled in the All clubs, which boast
100 per cent enrolment of the young
sters in schools who are 10 years
old, or older.

Owen county is the tobacco pro-
gram. Base quotas of land permit
ted under the AAA program have re-
stricted considerably the amount Of
land placed under cultivation for to-
bacco. Some farmers are inclined
to grumble at these restrictions, but
when the AAA plan was put to a ref
erendum vote in the November elec-
tions, SO per cent of the farmers
voted for it-only 2 per cent against
it.
II presume Kentuckians are not
different from most other folk"
commented M. H. Bourne, editor
emeritus of the Owenton News-Her-
aid. 'tThey don't like too much con-
troll, or to be told what to do and
how to do it. But men who make a
living entirely from tobacco raising
know darn well that when they get
more profit from three acres than
they used to get from seven, a
certain amount of control is good
for all. Even so, some are mad
because they can't grow seven
acres.
Government interference, though,
does not affect us as much as in the
larger centers. We do feel, how
ever, that at times too much central
authority has been exercised to get
deals put across, that with little
more patience on the governments
part our people would have heartily
backed without coercion"
But there are some who say that
in the tobacco stripping rooms,
where men talk freely among them
selves, feeling against the Roosevelt
administration is rising. Feed has
become so expensive that many
farmers are now selling off their
cattle and hogs-and they think the
OPA is responsible because it en-
forces price ceilings at the livestock
purchasing points, but has not been
able to enforce ceilings on grain.
Thomas Forsee, cashier Of the
First National bank of Owenton, in
clined to take the conservative point
of view. He said:
'"This is very strong Democratic
county. We have never had Re
publican in office in it. In the last
election, there was a noticeable turn
ing against the New Deal, however,
for the county went Democratic by
only small majority. Many feel
that the results of government con-
trolls have not justified their great
multiplication. Farmers feel that
too much extravaganza is going to
prove disastrous in the long run.
However, tobacco acreage allo-
cation has proven very satisfactory
because it has brought much bet
ter prices"

Cooperative Canning Plant
Is Sponsored FederaIIy

. Sponsored by the United States
department of education and built
with federal, state and town funds,
the Owenton Cannery plant is oper-
ated under the direction of the .Ow-
enton public school. Last summer
the people of the county operating
the plant comparatively put up 49,
600 cans of fruit and vegetables for
home use, and since the middle of
September have turned out over 1000
cans of meats and chicken, have rem
dered lard and ground sausages.
