SOCIETY NEWS ENGAGED

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 8.--(UP)—The forgotten horse today was revealed to have played a major lole In the home front pioductlon lines. Purdue University agricultural statisticians said that some 231,000 Hoosier horses furnished the power for 30 per cent of the farm work in Indiana during the war. Thirty-four thousand mules contributed to this total, they added. The other 70 per cent was handled by modern machin-

The prisoners were crammed into cells 18 hy 11 feet, with as many as 22 in one cell. Lights were left burning day and night. From 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. the prisoners were made to sit straight as ramrods in their chairs with no relaxation. When dysentery broke out they were given almost no medical attention. If any of them complained he was taken out, beaten and hung by his wiists. One received 200 blows before losing consciousness. Another was questioned

for 55 continuous hours. Others were ducked repeatedly and questioned while a wet cloth was held over the mouth and nose. Most of them were burned with cigarettes, some had gasoline poured over them and set afire. The Japanese also administered electrical shocks. Perhaps the most “refined’’ tortures were the mock executions. Prisoners were told they were to die and led to an execution chamber. After hours of uncertainty they were released.

IN MEMORY In loving remembrance of our dear wife and mother, Mrs. Lydia Turner, who passed away one year ago, September 9, 1944. We never knew our hearts could ache With such a bitter pain, Just longing for a vanished face, To hear your voice again. We never knew that days could be So lonely, sad and blue, But, darling we have learned Many things since we lost you. Our lips can not tell how we miss you, Our hearts cannot tell what to say, God alone knows how we miss you In a home that is lonesome today. Sadly missed by husband, children and grandchildren. pd-
