Where Does
Your Money Go?

Read the other day where country
folks and farmers spend more
money prOpOrtiOnately, on their
homes than city dweIlers do.
Doesn't seem hard to believe
when you think it over. Take the
folks in our town, for instance:
They're home-loving people
who'd rather spend an evening by
the fire with a mellow glass of beer
than go out in search Of entertain

bank loan. The culprit said he ''had
it down to $4.75" before the reven-

Golden Wedding Event
Observed at GOrtner

Fifty years ago at the Glade View
church, Lorenza II. Fike and Laura
Meyers were married by the formers
brother, Pastor Emra Fike.

seventeen grandchildren were present
also
The church was decorated with
floral arrangement of yellow roses in
yellow vases and baskets of narcis-
sus with a huge cake and miniature
bride and groom.
During the afternoon period of
reminiscing it was brought out that
there were seventy ministers in the
Fike clan, one reason for this being
attributed to the fact that fore
father, while hoeing corn would call
the boys for a rest in the shade and
tell them Bible stories. One person
attending remarked it was so re-
freshing to meet this couple, blest
with a tie that binds in Christian
love, in our day Of loose marriage,
divorce, broken homes and warped
childhood"
Each person present was given "a
piece of the wedding cake on nap
kins with Laura and Lorenza'
stamped in gold.
The couple now resides at Knobly,
w. Va, where the former is pastor
of the Brethren church.

MONEY MAKER
Mechanic
Has Mint

WASHINGTON. D. c. - During
the depression, when a man could
barely buy sowbelly and shoe leath.
er on what he made fixing old cars,
something happened-by accident
to Verne Startling, a mechanic, out
in Perry, Iowa. The accident made
him think he could do better by
making real money.
Il didn't want to get rich," he
later told the United States secret
service. IT just wanted to make a
decent living"
Like all easy money guys, Star
ling made a mistake now and then.
One of them-a phony half dollar
is now on exhibit in the treasury
building. How it got there is an in
teresting story dug from the fat
files of James j. Maloney, chief of
the secret service. Mechanic Star
ling, in his confession, told his own
story:
Once, in 1888, he was fddling
around with an acetylene torch, fix
ing to weld a truck axle. He reached
in his pants pocket for a cigarette
and out tumbled a nickel, which
came to rest between a spring and
a railroad iron on the floor.
He Gets an Idea.
A light went on in Starling's ac-
tive brain. He forgot about the
broken axle and placed the nickle
on the railroad iron and applied his
torch to the fiat piece of spring.
When it sizzled cherry red he took
tongs and put the spring on
of the nickel and let fly with a
heavy sledge. '

And from where Startling stood, the J
garage business looked pretty dull.
So he began to study up on dies i

At length he came up with a near 9

ook him almost four years.
To look at the official record you'd h
