HM MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS An account of a raid- that had its f embarrassing moments is being told on Main Street. Recently on ja dark 'and stormy night the sheiff and : his posse stopped their cars on a loneay road near Wabee Lake, silently, gf>t out and stealthily approached a supposedly vacant house. Maybe some of the less experienced nervously grabbed tight hold on their gun belts. For lights had been seen flickering across the wiii.dows of tlie deserted house at night. [Reports of a big bootlegging gang using this house as headquarters had reached the sheriff. After looking the place he had decided to raid uj on this dark and stormy night. The posse drew closer. Now came the tense moment. '1 he house had been surrounded. Not -an opening had'been left unguarded. A rush was made at the door. Down it went. Darkness. What was that.’ A si raping sort of bunching “Who is there'."’ the sheiff probably shouted. "Baa, baa, baji" came the reply •'accompanied by / the rain of cloven hoofs upon the fjdor. T he suspected parties were sheip, , Harry Martin and Max Harris had , been using the house as a place in' which to keep a dock off ewes which were due to lamb. The lights that were seen came from tHe lanterns of the owners of the sheep when they ..Went to inspect their thick at night. “It Mfould be nice if [arrangements could be made to have the Eighth Grade of Syracuse over -on Friday night. Three victories jn one night from Syracuse would be very sweet Something similar to that was printed \in the Milford; Mail " last week. \ It wasw—pity Syracuse didn’t take over her Sth Grade leant, also the ith and 6th. For if the • Milford first team was defeated 24 to 23; the second team shut out lb 0, what would have happened j t(o the . .6th Grade team? If Milford] scores receded in mathematical progression? » Representing the Pythian Sisters, Mrs. Ed Unrue bought some stockings and shies for a y4ung fellow in need of the c He proudly sh wed his new belongings his [Sunday school teacher last Sunidi-y. She ' ►. proper notice <»f In-e .. d went' on with the lesson about the fust four disciples She named these men and then told what qualitieis these disciples had? such as bejing good to others. Then she asketLJ “.Now who can name for me these i disciples?” And the young owne- < f the new shoes shouted; “Unrue” r An old joke is told] bij an editor who went one evenyii to report a party at a home thatjhad been recently blessed with a new baby. He met his hostess at thf door' and afj ter the usual salutat|onb he . asked ; after the baby’s health; The lady who L - Was quite deaf and sufferingwith the grip, thought he w.k ■ asking after her cold-and answered that although she usually had one every winter,, this was the worst one x she had ever had; Jt kept her awake every night a good deal and at .'first confined her to bed.

Lockwood Members of the House of Repre- ! sentatiyes went gunning ala recent 1 session for Representative Sol Bloom’s plan of “advertising Washington,” as director of the George Washington Bi-centennial Commission. They declared that Washington was so well known that he did not need advertis- ; ing. Every school child in America, they declared, knew ail about Washington, 7 . <' Theii Representative Huddleston, of Alabama, while denying the need of advertising Washington, proceeded to demonstrate that there is still need pf such publicity, and that it might well start with the member from Alabama.. The Revolutionary War would have been Won, Congressman Huddleston siiid, “Washington or rto Washington." If Mr. Huddleston knew his Wnsfeilngton he would not with confidence make such an assertion. The evidence is all the other way. The cauSe more than once hung by a thread, and only the great weight of Washington’s leadership prevented the collapse of the struggle. Washington was called to the comt land of the American armies by the i Continental Congress ■ only because J seemed to be the one man for the ■hour. Early in the trouble between England and the colonies, Washington had offered to raise a Virginia regiment at his own expense and •march it to the defense of Boston. . From a military standpoint he was i the chief man of the colonies; he ,! was the one man in whose abilities . both the northern and southern cbl-j-onieS had confidence. He had dis- . played his generalship at Braddock’s i defeat during the French and Indian ; war, saving the army of British regulars and colonials frqtn destruction, indeed it was at that time that the . conolists first gained confidence that ■ they could meet re<B-coats in battle. They saw them try European tactics on the frontier, and knew that Amer- ■ leans were a match for the Britons on their home grounds. Washington alone could have commanded the confidence of the army and pf the Continental Congress during years of defeat and discouragement. The fact that he persisted in the face of such obstacles gave confidenCe to the colonists in dark per- ; iods like those of Valley Forge. His policy of striking blows and then retreating alone; kept an American army in the field. When he descended on Trenton, captured the Hessian i army and then got away through his brilliant stroke at Princeton, the . i world marveled at the genius, of this

man \who could fight the greatest > military power in Christendom “on i a shoestring.” It was after Princeton that Frederick the Great sent Wrashington a sword, inscribed: “From the oldest general of the. Old World to the greatest of the new.” And even the prestige of Washington did not prevent plotting against him which almost succeeded. A weaker man would have been easily un? horsed. The fact that he was serving without pay helped protect him from khe suspicion of self interest. There grew on the colonists the compre hension of the greatness of Washington’s character as the war, wore on. There was no surprise at the end jof the war when, in view of the chaotic conditions of. the country his army associates urged him to accept a crown he indignantly repelled the suggestion, or when, peace concluded, he returned his sword to Congress at Annapolis with the de--claration that he was retiring forever from public life to return to the tranquillity of Mount Vernon. It is possible, but improbable, that without Washington the Revolutioni ary War could have been won. Confidence in Washington made possible] the diplomatic achievements of Franklin in Europe, which brought essential aid to the colonists. Even during his lifetime Washington beI came in Europe a legendary figure. George Washington cannot be too much “advertised.” The facts about hiss- achievements cannot be too familiar; his example cannot be too: widely commended to Americans young and old. Here was a military i genius who never put the character 1 of the soldier above that of the citizen; a leader who did not esteem the ■ power which came to him for power’s sake, but only as a means of serving his country faithfully; a statesman whose broad vision embraced not merely the present, but the far fui ture of his country, and left to genI erations yet unborn the priceless ■ legacy of his • still sage counsel. Washington was the symbol of the i most heroic, the most romantic, the ; most unselfish fight for human liberty ever waged. How One Woman . Lost IQ Lbs- in a Week ■ Mrs. Betty Luedeke of Dayton, writes, “I am using Kruschen to re- ‘ duce weight—-I lost. 1U pounds in ne i week and cannot say too much to recommend it. To take off fat easily, SAFELY and HARMLESSLY—take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—it. is the safe way to lose unsightly fat and one bottle, that lasts 4 weeks costs but a trifle. Get it at any drugstore in America. If this fihst bottle fails to convince you this is the safes?) w-ay to lose fat —money But be sure and get Kruschen Salts__imitations are numerous and you mustsafeguard your health.
