BROWN COUNTY TO KEEP JAIL Officials Refuse to Sell Log Building. By United Press NASHVILLE, Ind., Nov. 19. Brown county’s old log jail here,, built in 1837 at a cost of $175, is not for sale and will stand as long as the board of county commissioners have anything to do with it, according to William F. Pruitt, chairman. Several offers, including one of $7,000, have been made for the jail. The Nashville Community Club recently tried to buy the building, which is no longer used for prisoners, and the acre of ground surrounding it. The club intended to erect a community house. The jail is two stories high and its walls are fifty-f-ur inches thick. When it was in use, prisoners wer£ taken to the second floor by a ladder from the outside and put down to the lower floor through a trap door, there being no entrance on the ground compartment. Only one prisoner ever escaped from the institution and it was believed he had outside help. The jail is open to tourists who pay 10 cents to go through it and view a display of relics. Several hundred dollars has been paid into the county treasurer’s office by Samuel Parks, former Brown county sheriff who leased the place some time ago with the understanding that he would keep fifty per cent of all admission money, the county receiving the u.ner half.

Rockefeller Jr., interviewed in December issue of The American Magazine, discusses his 89-year-old father and calls him “the most interesting man I ever have known.” The fact that the elder Rockefeller's mind is never closed, that he possesses almost unlimited patience and that he is most methodical in his manner of living is pointed out by his son. He incorporates in his peture of hs father’s life the latter’s attitude toward the raising of children. his attitude toward luxury, and his faith in those whom he has learned to trust. “My father is the most intei'esting man. I have ever known,” says the younger Rockefeller. "For me, one of the outstanding lessons of his life 's his open-indedness. I do nc f mean that he is easy to convince. “Or. the contrary, once he has reached a conclusion, he is most tenacious of his judgment. At the same time he always has been ready consider and reconsider any questions. His mind is never closed.” The younger Rockefeller tells of his request of a loan from his father when he desired to buy a collection of Chinese porcelains owned by J. P. Morgan. Newspaper reports say that the collection was worth more than $1,000,000. His father refused the loan, but upon his son’s plea that he never had spent money for such a luxury as a yacht or for riotous living he reconsidered and gave him the money. In talking of his own boyhood and the raising of children in general. Rockefeller voices regret that he was not forced to work his way up from the bottom.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. 19.—Sue Carol, movie actress, may be only a baby star of the cinema, but she has grown-up ideas

—and she distinctly wants it understood that Douglas McLean isn’t going to put anything over on her with the five-year contract which he holds for her services. Sue has proclaimed herself a free agent. She says the film comedian failed to notify her of the continuance of her contract, according to its specifications. McLean's attorneys say notice was given and that everything is "hunky-dory.” Miss Carol’s position is that of a baseball player who must play for whatever team he Is told to. She wants her freedom and the dollars that her well press-agented ability will bring. If she can break the contract— It has three and one-half years to run—she’ll be richei by some $150,000. McLean says: "Nothing doing.” Sue says: "Tell it to my lawyers.”

Housewives nowadays want small, tender, “juicy” beefsteaks instead of the big tenderloins and sirloins that formerly were in demand, cattlemen say. And so they will supply the “baby” beef as demanded. Outstanding in the series of auctions will be the sale of baby beeves fed by boys and girls who are members of 1-H clubs or students in vocational agricultural high schools. This sale will be held Nov. 23, along with the sale of fat steers in the open classes. Special reduced round trip passenger rates of a fare and a third on all railroads will be in effect for the sales.
