by Arthur Brisbar |j GOLD AND RABBITS' F ... NEVER GIVE UP HOfl Mr. FARLEY’S FLU Public Ijjhl-j SWIMMING If you law white or colored gentlemen bidding against each other for the feet of graveyard rabbits, running the price up to many dollars a foot, you would smile. You may smile as condescendingly when the British empire and the Unit ed States of America bid against each ~ other for gold, running the price up two dollars an ounce in one day. Pleasant for those that sell the gold, but what about taxpayers that have to supply money for all this bidding? Uncle Sam is bidding $31.36 an ounce for gold, to be paid for by the Reconstruction Finance corporation in 90-day debentures. The United States of America bids 22 cents an ounce above the price bid by London. This makes our dollar worth not I quite 66 cents in gold. It must amuse the British, for they have the gold, our own supply amounting to little. Britain can stand the bidding if we can, especially as important new gold discoveries have recently been made in South Africa as well as in Australia, and the possibilities in northwestern Canada are unlimited. A prisoner in the death cell hopes until the last minute. Even as he goes through tHe little door, with the back of his head shaved for the electrode, he still hopes. Frightened, weak discouraged men thinking of suicide should also keep hope to the very last and, therefore, never.commit suicide. Unfortunate Harry Brown "of Freeport, L. b., gave up hope just one hour too soon. He had turned on the Itas in his little flat and killed himself just as Mrs. Caroline Lock wood knocked at his door, eagerly, to give him good news that she had a job for him. Never give up whether you have lost $50,000,000 or an $lB-a-week job. There are always better days ahead and unlimited possibilities in every hour. Playing poker in a flying machine 3,200 feel up in the air, Postmaster General Farley drew one card and completed a “king high straight flush.** If you know what that is, you jknow it is a good omen for the administration. Mr. Farley, who doesn’t drink, smoke, talk or get excited, laid the hand . down calmly > and drew in the pot, saying, “I couldn’t conscientiously raise on a hand like that with friends." Burma is proud of her champion swimmer, Prafulla Kumar Ghooe, who swam 79 hours 24 minutes without stopping, in the royal lake at Rangoon. Hawaii claims the record with Charlbs Zimmy, “legless" swimmer, who swam 100 hours in a Honolulu pool. Wall Street says: “That is making a fuss about nothing. Thousands of ui down here have been ’under water* for the last four years without coming up.” They have, and »° have their bankers. The government will lend farmers 50 cents a bushel on corn, and for corn grown on good land 50 cents is not a bad price, although it ought to be sl. Some call the government’s lending “socialism." The majority will agree that it is better than old conditions, when corn sold for 10 cents. Secretary Ickes of the .1 nterior department renders public service warning foolish investors against being swindled in connection with the power project, at the Banneville (Ore.) dam. He reminds citixena of lyrge sums lost in connection with Muscle Shoals real estate swindlers. Many, unfortunately, will not be Warned. Erecting a power plant does not create land values, and, by the way, Muscle Shoals real estate sharks are still buying in that neighborhood. Sec. Ickes warns against them also Washington reports that Middle WesP farmers, planning all sorts of protests against the government, are to be soothed with “prompt cash aid” The secretary of agriculture is expected to “urge more commodity loans, to calm the farmers. *■ It might become necessary, by and by, to calm the taxpayers, who, of course, must supply all this money. Bat, like the geese that lay golden eggs, they are few in number, and nobody pays much attention to them nntil t|ey otter their last “squawk." president Roosevelt to again troubled with a cold, important and disquieting news for the country. Nothing to more dangerous than what to eaiwleesly called “the common cold." It to the forerunner of pneumonia in many cases, foundation of innumerable diseases, weakening the oyatecn. Wise mne of John Hopkins should toll the President how to avoid such colds and he should take their advice. for hto health means a greal deal to this country.

MAN, WIFE KILLED ON LIVE WIRE Dog Chased Opossum, Both Killed, Then Man and Wife. A man’s love for his dog, and hto wife’s love for the man caused the electrocution of Mr. and Mrs. Cres- ! ton Paine, Tuesday afternoon, on a high tension wire carrying 4000 volts which had fallen across the marsh at the southeast end of the Wawasee Golf course. And a possum was the cause of it all. rs the dog evidently chased the possum and it was first to strike the live wire. William Irwin, in charge of the golf course, noticed small flames in the marsh and went down to investigate. He saw these bodies on fire, and threw water on them —which almost caused him to be fatally shocked. He felt the voltage in his left leg and n 4Hzod the trouble. Noble Myers, in charge of the Northern. Ir liana Public Service Co. in this vicimty, was called, as well as the doctor and ambulance. Myers cut the wires so that the bodies could be moved. Mr. Paine, aged about 40, was formerly a Ford dealer in Terre Haute and had business connections th Florida. He and hto wife, aged about 28 had spent the summer in : Minnesota and about 3 weeks ago i had come to Wawasee, where they | stayed in the Sinclair cottage. His step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Rayner were staying at the cottage with Mr. and Mrs. Paine Every effort was made Tuesday afternoon to get Im touch with Mrs. Paine’s mother, Mrs. Tevis, whose address was not known by Rayner, except that she lives in Indianapolis. . Story of the Tragedy. William Irwin, manager of the golf course and Arthur Mininfield, were collecting markers on the ’ course Tuesday afternoon and noticed two boys on the course near Johnson's marsh on Johnson’s bay. This is near the fairways of holes 14 and 15. Irwin got out of his car to tell the boys that no one except players is allowed on the golf course. They said they were former caddies of the course, and were getting a drink at the pump near there. Irwin then noticed a blase in the marsh and went to investigate. He saw a woman’s leg sticking out of the underbrush and thought that someone had set a dummy on fire. He then discovered a man’s body and thought that perhaps two old people had made a suicide pact. He called to three golfers who were playing on the course and got a bucket of water and threw this on the bodies. He received a shock and then realised that one of the wire feeders to the pump house of the golf course had fallen and’ that the two people had been electrocuted and were burning up. Phoned for Help. He hurried to the office in his car and telephoned Noble Myers at the Northern Indiana office and Dr. Hoy Myers cut the wires at the Jones transformer, and jlr. Hoy, Joe Rapp Roas Osborn, Orval Klink and Mininfield removed the bodies. Mrs. Paine was lying on top in a position that suggested that she had tried to pull her husband off the wire. Mr. Paine was on top of the dog, in all probability getting fast when he tried to pull the dog off the wire. The dog, a big police dog named Armand was on top of a possum—the cause of it all. The possum was burned in' two. The real story of how Mr. and Mrs. Paine got into the death trap will never be known, but from the (Continued on Last Paca) HAVE HALLOWE’EN PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Coy entertained with a Hallowe’en party at their home, Tuesday evening. Twen-ty-five guests attended, and the party was enjoyed by all, except Mrs. Rose Rock of New Paris. On arriving at the house, guests had to hold onto ropes and follow these to enter the house. The first part of the walk was down the cellar, and Mrs. Rock, probably unable to see because of her mask fell : down stain and injured her knee so 1 that she was not able to enjoy the party. The prise for the most beautiful 1 disguise was given to John Walton. Refreshments were served, and only I one real scare occurred and that > was when John Umbaugh, who had eaught a possum, released it in the I house and frightened the women of the party. |

$63 RECEIVED FROM SENIOR CLASS PLAY Large Crowd Attended Show but Income Less This Year as Price of Tickets Lower. The Senior class received $63 from the proceeds from the play which they presented, Friday evening, after expenses were paid. A crowd filled the High School gym to see the play “Sonny-Jane” but because of reduced price of tickets, the proceeds were not as large as in other years. The play was a comedy concerning mistaken identities, which amused the audience. Sonny-Jane, acted by Martha Leacock was trying to start a newspaper in the town to which she had just arrived, and an attempt to keep her from doing so was made by the three men who had put her out of business in the town in which they lived, and where she formerly had a newspaper. t Other characters in the play, involved in confusing the three big business men were the boarding house keeper; Pansy, her hired girl who could not hurry, and the bus driver. The person whom SonnyJane impresonated arrived but her story was not believed so Sonny-Jane published the first issue of the paper before her true identity was discovered. Between acts members of the Senior class presented the sketch “The Late Mrs. Laite;" and members of the Girls’ Octette furnished music. • - 0 HAROLD BOWSER’S THEATER DAMAGED Fire in Projection Room Does S4OO Damage Friday Night Theater In Elkhart is Repaired.
