Friend in Need
Jacques Larches, four years old,
fell out of a window from the third
floor of his home. He probably
would have broken his neck except

Both the dog and the boy are doing
well and neither was seriously hurt.
George Washington
Was a Conservative
George Washington looked at every national prob
lem of his lifetime in the light of one clear, steadfast
purpose—to consider America’s interests first.
George Washington was a conservative. He was a
faithful and loyal servant. He was a great business
man. He put above everything else the safety and
welfare of his people.

No One Went Hungry
The famous speech made by the
Indian chief John Logan, accord
ing to Jefferson, was as follows: *T
appeal to any white man to say if
ever he entered Logan’s cabin hun
gry and he gave him not meat; if
ever he came cold and naked and
he clothed him not. During the
course of the last long and bloody
war Logan remained idle in his cab
in, an advocate for peace. Such
was my love of the whites that my
countrymen pointed as they passed
and said; ‘Logan is the friend of
white men.’ 1 had even thought to
have lived with you but for the in
juries of one man, who last spring
in cold blood, and unprovoked, mur
dered all the relatives of Logan, not
sparing even my women and chiL
dren. There runs not a drop of my
blood in any living creature. The
called on me for revenge. I have
sought and killed many. I have
fully glutted my vengeance. For my
country I rejoice at the beams of
peace. But do not harbor the thought
that mine is the joy of fear. Logan
never felt fear. He will not turn on
his heel to save his life. Who is
there to mourn for Logan? Not one.”

Mystery Gift Checks Stop
The days of angelic blessing for
persons of Ava, Mo., this Ozark:
mountain community, appear to be
at an end. Not since May, 1940,
has one of the puzzling "angel of
Ava" checks been received. Ava
enjoyed national publicity during the
first few months of the year when
opening the day’s mail was some
thing like searching for gold in a
nugget-sprinkled creek bed. The
“angel” passed out more than $l,OOO
by approximate reckoning to folks
living in this community byway of
cashier’s checks. The mayor got
the last one in May. All efforts
to probe behind the checks and dis
cover the "angel’s” identity have
failed. But it does look as though
that nebulous individual may now
live in Kansas City, all exespt one
of the checks was purchased in Kan
sas City.
Mowing Barley Twice
Wild barley is a pretty plant for
a short time after it heads but later
on we pay a high price for its
beauty. Mowing closely twice a
summer usually keeps it from seed
ing much and gradually weakens the
• roots, permitting better grasses !o
I take possession, unless on very hard
j dry areas.

Heredity expert claims that if one
parent has large ears, all of the
