SCOUT PAGEANT {SATUBDAI,Y; “The Evolution of Scouting” to Be _Presented by Lads of Area in T THs Distrles - R e AL SR e A unique plan of presenting the history and development of scouting coupled with a portrayal of the activities of a present day troop, wmi be ziven the public at North Side mgh school in lort Wayne Saturday April 5, in the form of a pageant “The Evo‘ution ef Scouting.” : o The organization and rehearsing of i pageant of this kind seemed at Yirst to be impossible in that Boy Jcout troops scattered over the entire _Anthony Wayne area, composed of zight counties, were to: participate. However, the committee in charge worked cut a plan that has proven very successful. All®speaking parts are secmingly done . between two scouts. Asone scout playing the part of Father Time scans his book of time, he weems to be telling another scout how varjous groups of other timeg were like scouts. He mentions knights, Robin Hood pioneers and others and as he mentions each group a troop of scouts demonstrates the activities of the group mentioned. Finally the scout turns to Father Time and tells of the activities of present day scouts. The words of these two characters are all written in rhyme and will be transmitted through a loud speaking device from behind the scenes. Every troop throughout the area has been assig’ned an episode and has rehearsed it under the direction of their scoutmaster. Each episode makes up a unit of the pageant and will fit into the pattern of the dramatization independently of any other unit. URGED TO CUT DOWN ACREAGE L. W. Wible Discusses Onion Situaation and Says Over Production - Brings Down Prices '

Many farmers of this section are greatly interested in the growing of onions. Noble county has long been noted as standing well at the top of the list in the onion Industry in Indiana, and L. W. Wible of Allen township «is ' recogned as one of the most successful growers of this particular project. He has long been connected with W. S. Snyder & Son of Kenton, 0., one of the Ilargest onion growers in that state. Dl New conditions seem to have arisen to cause onion growers everywhere to ‘‘stop look and listen.” A review of the onion situation nation wide, furnishes food for serious thought. From President Hoover Secretary of Agriculture Hyde the federal farm board on down to the onion growers themselves comes the suggestion that it awill be wise this year to reduce the acreage to onions at least 20 per cent, if the growers are to receive any profit for their time, money and labor. In discussisng this phase of the question Mr. Wible said: L “Few shippers and practically no growers made any money the past year and the intended acreage for 1930 is just about the same as last year.

~ “You cannot overproduce in any commodity and make money, . and no other commodity is so susceptible to the ill effects of overproduction as onions, due to their perishable nature and the limited time we have in which to market the crop. ~ “If we plant the acreage of onions in this country contemplated at this time even conceding that additional tariff is granted, our overproduction will so far over balance the effects of a tariff on importations that any possible benefit of a tariff will not only be lost, but our industry will be in even worse shape than it is at the present time. i

To Address Democrats

Straw Not Forbidden g to Children of Israel

Whethér or not the first brickmaker lived in a past 12,000 years distant, excavations at Ur of the Chaldees, the city of Abraham, have ylelded brick tablets inscribed with information concerning a people of 8000 years ago. H the Old Testament account is accepted the tower of Babel was built of brick, for “they said one to another: Go to, let us make brick and burn them thoroughly.” And Holy Writ carries its reminder that brickmaking was known to the early Egyptians. Down through the ages has come allusion to bricks without straw, although the Children of Israel were not, as a matter of faet, required to make bricks without that binding material ;. - :

“And Pharaoh commanded the same day the task masters of the people, and their officers, saying: s . *“Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick as heretofore; let them go and gather straw for themselves.”—Boston Transcript,

Florid Epitaph Common in Revolutionary Days

“Stop, Passenger,” begins an epitaph, dated 1781, on a stone in a cemetery in Elizabeth, N. J., “here lie the remains of a 8 woman who exhibited to the world a bright constellation of the female virtues, On that memorable day, never to be forgotien, when a British foe- invaded this fair village and fired even the temple of the Deity, this peaceful daughter of Heaven retired to her hallowed apartment, imploring Heaveun for the pardon of her enemies. In that sacred moment she was by the bloody hand of a British ruffian dispatched like her Divine Redeemer through a path of blood to her long -~ wished-for native skies.” There were few brief epitaphs in those early days. It was apparently regarded as a lack of reverence to fail to enumerate the virtues of the departed, and as a disregard of opportunity to fail to warn the “passengers” of what was in store for them, : :

Once Famous Port Though Cowes is now almost synonymous with pleasure yachting, the little town was famous for its dockyards long before the annual regatta was thought of, says “Looker On” in the London Daily Chronicle. Many a tall ship for war or merchant service came off the slips at Cowes in the.old days, including Nelson’s famous Vanguard, and during ;the World war its shipyards were adapted again to contribute worthily to British naval strength, both in regard to new bujlding and repairs. How the town came by lits name has some interest. Really the names is plural, and derives from the two “cowes” or circular forts, which Henry VIII erected to guard the entrance to Portsmouth harbor. One fort is now the headquarters of the Royal Yacht squadron. -

Dog Saved Browning

Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett did not elope alone. Miss Barrett’s lap dog went along. S “Not because the lovers wanted it particularly,” Dr. Andreag Bard Informed the.Kansas City Browning society at a-luncheon, “but because they were afraid to leave it behind. One bark -would have spoiled everything. Miss Barrett’s father disappreved of the intended marriage. e “Think of it—the future of BrownIng poetry resting with a little dog. If that little dog had yapped, very likely there would have been no Browning society and, what is worse, none of those exquisite poems written by Mr. and Mrs. Browning after their marriage.”—Kansas City Star.

Wanted to See the Fight

~ Joseph Van Raalte tells of a New Yorker who went to see the same theater play every night for two weeks. “You seem to be stuck on this show,” the ticket seller said to him one evening,

“No,” sald the man, “it’s this way: You know that part in the second act, where the husband goes out and the lover comes in the fire escape window? Well, some one o’ these nights the husband is goin’ to forget somethin' an’ come back for it an’ keteh that bird. An’ when he does, T want to be there.” —Capper’'s Weekly. .

“Sweeping the Board”

To refer to anyone as having swept the board is to say of him or intimate that he overcame all opposition, 'triumphed over whateéver obstacles confronted him and ‘so achfeved a spectacular victory. - :

- Like several other metaphorical expressions that have gained common currency, this one has its origin in the patois of the card table. 9 For in playing cards, when one of the participants swept the board, he secured everything, that is, won all the stakes on the board or table,

Hoarding Food

The habit of burying food is one that several wild animals possess, It Is evidently a trait handed dewn from the time when England was in a grip of continual ice. At that time the hunter ate all he could, then buried the rest, returning to it when ‘hungry, Nowadays the weasel will kill far more than it can eat, and it still burlés the surplus, but, unlike its ancestors, it does not return to the store, as there is plenty of fresh food to be obtained.—London Tit-its. = . = =

Mexican Coat of Arms © Traced to Aztec Fable

That the name “Mexico” comes from “mexictli,” the Aztee word for the native maguey or pulgue plant is the conclusion of Enrique Juan Palacios, of the Mexican direction for archeology, who has searched for its origin in native Indian documents, as well as In other sources of information. Every Mexican school child knows that his national coat-of-arms Is an adaptation ‘of the ancient Aztec hieroglyph or place-name for “Tenochtitlan,” as pre-conquest Mexico City was called, Mexico’s shield, therefore, is at least six centuries old, It represents an eagle in mortal struggle witlr & snake, which he holds with one claw and his beak. With the other claw he s balanced on a spiny nopal cactus growing OR a rock In the middle of a lake. This picturization of an extremely difficult position illustrates the Aztec fable of the founding of the ancient city that is now the capital of the Mexican republie,

Possibility That Great " Auk May Sstill Exist Does the Great Auk still exist? The last authentic case of one having been seen was in 1843, but “Bird Notes and News” raises the question as to whether a bird which has been seen in the Lofoten islands (off the coast of northern Norway) is not a Great Auk, A writer tells how a Finnish hunter and naturalist saw. a strange bird which he could not recognize. He was shown a picture of the Great Northern Diver, but said it was not the same, He was then shown a Razorbill, but declared that the bird was bigger. The book was opened casually at the Great Auk, and he immediately identified it and persisted in his story, which was corroborated even to the identification by an independent witness who had also seen it. The bird was never seen again, but it is possible that on such a wild coast a few Great Auks may have survived. Loy ‘

Odd “Break” in Sermon

The former pastor of a Tioga church tells a good one on himself which shows the queer breaks :a man can make, even in the pulpit. o The pastor was preaching on “Faith” and among his illustrations of the value of. faith , declared that “it was by faith that Moses discovered America.” S

~ He noticed a smile spread over the faces of the congregation, but couldn’t imagine what it was about, and repeated that but for his faith Moses would never have crossed the stormy Atlantic to America. | Having observed that his wife was as much amused as anybody, he promptly asked her on reaching his home what the people were smiling at

When she told him, he was forced to wonder at the restraint the congregation had shown.—Philadelphia Record.. . : :

To “Turn State’s Evidence?”

State’s evidence is the evidence produced by the government in criminal prosecution. The term also applies to a person who gives such evidence. When a person implicated in a crime voluntarily confesses his share and gives testimony that will Incriminate his accomplices he is said to “turn state’s évidence,” namely, he becomes a witness for the state. In such cases there is generally an express or implied promise on the part of the authorities that they will not prosecute the witness who thus testifies, or that he will at least be dealt with leniently. Prosecutors do not usually promise such immunity unless there is insufficient evidence to conviet the defendant without the testimony in question. —Pathfinder Magazine. |

Famous Early Bishop

Francis Asbury was born at Hamstead Bridge, near Birmingham, England, in 1745. He died at Spotsylvania, Va., in 1816. He came to Amerlca as a missionary in 1771. There were then only 316 Methodists in America. When he died he had traveled more than 270,000 mj&les, preached more than 16,000 sermons, and ordained more than 4,000 Methodist ministers. He never married. Constant travel, limited resources and his zeal in church service were some of the reasons advanced for hig single life.

Salesmanship

[ : Two Janitors in Whitley A dispatch from Columbia City - “The Whitley county courthouse located here is rapidly emerging from its grime of dirt and smoke, thanks to the efforts of two custodians The community here is at a loss to know who really is entitled to the name of custodian. En | : ~ ‘During the last four years Charles Heinley Democrat has been keeper of the building and grounds. With an administration change this year he was told by the commissioners that his services would not be needed- after April 1 and Ort Secrist was appointed to the custodianship. - e .

“ Today Secrist asked for the keys to the building but Heinley refused to deliver them saying that last year he signed a contract with the commissioners which called for his services until April 1, 1932. As a result both Heinley and Secrist are at work. Perhaps the commissioners who will meet next Monday will be able to settle the dispute.
