* TODAY’S CHUCKLE ' ♦ —<U.R> 4 Columbus, O. — The latest ) accusation hurled at unsuspecting and unsophisticated Freshmen is that they can’t read. A course in the subject has been adopted at Ohio State X’niverslty and | during the first quarter, just . concluded, 138 students were 1 enrolled. ♦ 4 The efforts of the Industrial Association to boost home industries and home business is one of the very best things that can bo done and one that we should all work harder at. If all the money spent in this trading radius which should be spent here was left with local merchants it would mean a large increase and would help every one. The meeting next Monday night promises to be an interesting one and every one who can should be there. Join the association and help do worthwhile things. There are only two kinds of people in the world. Some one has called them the people that lift and the people that lean. For the sake of brevity let us name them the doers and the duds. We meet them in every walk of life. Al- , most every philanthropy, church, or fraternal organiztaion must carry on through the earnest, sacrificial work of a comparative- . ly small band of devotees. Too many men will uot exert themselves except under the spur of necessity or some exuberant enthusiasm. It is so much easier to be a dud than a doer! —The Rotarian. Several stores in this city and county have been fleeced the past few weeks on an old game. A man calls and sells them punch boards at a low rate, the boards contain ing gold pieces as prizes. A few days later another man conies In and with a few nickels punches out all the numbers containing the cash prizes. Os course there is 'hirthinlf the merchant can do but grin and charge it up to education except when one of these slickers comes in he can be shown how to get out quickly. Indianapolis has some nervy bandits who evidently don't intend for Chicago gangs to have any thing on them when it comes to new stunts. During the past two weeks four cases have been reported In which cashiers of public places have been kidnapped and the funds taken. Yesterday 'ln broad day- , light and within a hundred feet of i police officer two men captured William Gerard and Miss Haynes of the traction terminal station, marched them out to a car and robbed them of 611,000. Os course we all fee) such things can't happen, but they do and all too often to be pleasant. Mrs. Hattie Obenauer has been named as a member of the campaign committee of the State Historical Society and efforts will be made to secure at least twelve members in each county. The selection is an excellent one and the place important for the present generation should gather the data connected with the early history of the county. The parents of Mrs. Obenauer were among the first to settle In this county and there .are many facts and incidents of the past century which should be re- | corded now that they may be kept a part of history for all time. Mrs. Obenauer should have the assistance of those she selects in this work. 0 Snow Nearly Suffoeutes Ballston Spa. N. Y., Dee. 11.--<U.P,-—William Cntbush, 13, of Hop City, narrowly escaped suffocation after h's mouth had been stuffed with snow as a prank. He was carried unconscious by his playmates to a nearby house where ho revived just before arrival of a physician. (J WANTED—Good. cican. big Hags, suitable for cleaning I machinery. Will pay 7c lb.

Tex., Feb. 11.—(U.R)— Among the great river control projects to be completed in 1930 is the one by which Dallas county citizens will create >50,000,000 in land values through an expenditure of >6.500,000. Unassisted by the national, state county or local governments, a group of land owners who long have had visions of creating a new industrial district almost in the heart of the city, have undertaken a levee-building program which will make many of them wealthy. Not only will the land owners profit, but the reclamation of 10,000 acres of land in the Trinity River bottom clear across the city will provide needed sites for faci tories, wholesale buildings and other things, and will eliminate an eye sore as old as the city itself. The narrow river runs almost through the center of the city in a binding course, but the bed is more tlian a mile wide from bank to bank. The land has been valueless. It is virtually a thicket of trees and brush. During the spring rains, the river which normally is from 20' to 40 feet wide fills up the basin and sometimes overflows it. It Is 1 a flood threat which downtown property owners have feared for years. Once it got into the second | stories of buildings downtown. But huge steam shove's are heaping high the soli which is shaping up two levees. They uro 2.000 feet apart. About two-thirds of the basin will be reclaimed. With ample distance between the! levees, and the channel straight-) ened to accelerate the flpw of flood waters, engineers say that danger of an overflow will he forever removed. Up and down the river for eight miles, land from the levee to the bank opposite for 1,500 feet will lie reclaimed. B'ock after block of large wholesale buildings and industrial plants now stand on the banks. Reclaimed land near the bank will Is: worth thousands of dollar!) per acre. — 45 Lead In Appendix Pierre, S.

CHICAGO WILL GET MAP MADE BY ST. THERESE : Father Dolan Finds Colored Work Among Family Relics By Ralph Heinzen I United Press Staff Correspondent Paris, Feb. 11—(UP)—Chicago is !, soon to have a daintily colored map of the United States, the handwork of Theresa Martin, a Lisieux school gill of 10 years, before she became a Carmelite nun, eventually Canonized as Saint Therese. Reverand Father Albert N. Dolan, of Chicago, who came to France to gather relics of the Saint for a shrine in Chicago, found the map among the schoolpapers kept by the Martin family. Father Dolan, national director of tlie Society of the Little Flower has spent months in gathering relics for the national shrine. He spent weeks talking to Normandy peasants who knew the Saint as a girl, and in her home, her birthplace qt Alenoon, and will now leave for Loudres and Home. Dining his visit to Lisieux Father Dolan arranged for an annual American pilgrimage to the shrine of the little Saint. Among other things he learned about the life of Saint Therese, he found that the present French Minister of Finance Henry Cheron, now a portly politician, used to play a guitar accompaniment as Therese Martin chanted sacred hymns when they were children in Normandy. Three hundred men are working night and day to rush to completion tlie 35,000.009 franc shrine being build on the hilltop overlooking Lisienx, but II will be Easter 1931 before even the crypt is ready. Tlie body of the Saint is now In a gold casket Under a lifesized gold statute of the Saint, the gift of Brazilian Catholics, The tiny Carmel chapel holding these relics was visited by 500,000 pilgrims last year, practically double the number of pilgrims to Lisieux in 1928. o ■ — Gray-Haired Snatcher Poughkeepsie, ,N.
