FORMER MAYOR WAS A SONG
WRITER

THERE were twelve children in
L our family and it was necessary
to have pretty strict rule about
being reasonably quiet in the house
and at the dinner table. My father
repeated so often, Children are to
be seen and not heard" or "Silence
is golden that just to think of those
old adages brings back the echo of
his voice. I can't agree with the
principle of those sayings. Chill
dren who are encouraged to join in
the conversation are likely to have
more self-confidence and to be more
social minded. In some cases, their
very talkativeness may be golden.
Take Jimmy Walker for instance:
James John Walker, who later be-
came mayor of New York City and
was one of the most popular men
ever to hold that Office, was born
in New York's Greenwich Village
in 1881. When still a very small
boy, he was nick-named Jimmy
Talker" because he could not be
kept quiet. His father was run
ming for alderman at one time,
and Jimmy was sent to explain that
he could not be present at polit-
ical rally because of illness. The
crowd called for a speech from
the young boy, and he did so well
that his father was elected.
Jimmy Walker went to school in
New York City, and studied law;
but for a while it looked as though
he might be q professional song
writer instead of lawyer or
politician. He wrote several songs
which were published and made a
national hit by composing "WiI
You Love Me in December As You
Did in May?" None of his other
songs enjoyed the popularity of this
one, however, and Jimmy decided
upon a more conventional career.
He went to work as clerk for
the Union Surety Guarantee COM
pany and with his earnings re-
turned to law school, He estab-
lished a fine law practice, and be-
came more and more prominent
in politics. In 1925, he was elected
mayor of New York City and en-
joyed more mass popularity than
any mayor of recent times has
known there.

Originator Of Dynamic Kernels" Project
To Speak At Bethel Church Sunday Night

Perry Hayden the Quaker Miller"
of Tecumseh, Mich, viii speak and
show colored moving pictures Of his
world famous Dynamic Kernels,
Biblical tithing wheat demonstra-
ton Sunday night at Bethel Church
of Christ in Orange township.
Hayden's appearance viii be in
connection with the Orange township
Sunday school convention. His IL
lustrated talk will be feature of
the evening program beginning at
7:45 o'clock, following an afternoon
program of Sunday school workers
in this district.
Hayden was inspired to undertake
the dynamic kernels project by q
sermon in his home church in Sept
ember of 1910. The following week
he planted one cubic inch consisting
of $50 kernels of wheat on a tract
4 feet by feet furnished by Henry
Ford.
A firm believer in the principle of
tithing, Hayden set out on a six
year program, giving one tenth of
the yield to the church and replant-
ing nine-tenths.
The first crop was quart jar;
the second crop yielded 10 pounds;
and the third crop in 1943 was 16
bushels. Henry Ford, for the first
5 years furnished land, machinery,
and labor to plant, and harvest the
crop.
Repeatedly tithing each crop and
replanting the nine tenths, the
fourth crop in 1914 was $50 bushels;
the 5th crop in 1945 was 5,555
bushels. Then in the fall of 1945
because the project was too large
for Henry Ford, Hayden enlisted the
aid of 276 farmers of 80 different
religious denominations to furnish
1866 acres of land.
Their harvest in 1916 was about
$4,000 bushels. Each gave a titht
either to, or through one of the IT;
. different churches to which he be
