4ABBITS SOUGHT FOR THAT SUPPER i i C Legion Members Practise Shooting On Rabbits for Supper j Tuesday, Nov. 21. Because Nov. 21st does not come ' on Wednesday, and because the rab- ' bit supper to be given by the American Legion post at The Tavern is to be given on Nov. 21st, the supper i will be given on Tuesday evening. - Its the fault of the calendar and no mistake of the Journal last week. Members of the Wawasee post, divided into two rabbit hunting teams j have been scouring the highways * 1 and byways and fields and hedges s for rabbits since the season opened, - and when the rabbits are shot and cleaned they are taken to Kiink’s . | meat market with the plea; “Mr. Klink, may we please leave these , j rabbits here to be froxen in your- re- , , frigerator and kept for the Legion | ( 1 supper?” If one team mate is talking to an- , other he tells the truth about how many rabbits he has shot, if it be one jor two, after a day’s hunt, but if he |is talking to anyone else, s hunter never returns with less than 14 rab- . i bits. 1 to { The members of other Legion . posts, the families, and the public is invited to The Tavern to partake of this r.ibbit supper, as the Legionmembers are trying to raise money in this way. —p CORN SHUCKS OUT BELOW ESTIMATE; 24.5 BUSHEL YIELD LAFAYETTE. Ind.-DCorn is not shucking out quite as well as was expected a month ago and the indi- . | cated yield per acre for Indiana is 29.5 bushels, as compared with 37.5 last year, according to the monthly crop report as of November 1, issued recently by the department of 1 agricultural statistics of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation to the U. S. ! IJepartipent of Agriculture. Total corn production for the state was estimated at 125,906,000 bushels, or : 72 per cent of last year's production. However, an unusually late fall permitted a great deal of late planted corn to mature and corn husking was unusually well advanced on Nov- , , I ember 1. An estimated yield of 53 bushels per acre for potatoes is one of the lowest on record, although late potatoes are turning out much better i than the early crop. Likewise, the ( Jtiniated yield of sweet potatoes at ! , 100 bushels per acre is considerably ; | I below average. Soybean production, with an indicated yield of 14 bushels per acre on 110,000 acres, is estimated at 1,540,j 000 bushels as compared to 2,208,-' joOO last year and 3,044,000 two I years ago, while the estimated pro- ‘ Ruction of cowpeas for peas is 56,- i i 000 bushels, compared with 52,000 < ' Bushels a year ago. The yield of tobacco was |at 760 pounds per acre with a total I production of 128 F*r cent of last i year’s crop, which was very small i due to a small acreage. j< Apple production is reported 26 i per cent of a full crop, or about half of an average crop, while pears made 37 per cent of a full crop as compared to the ten year average of' ;64 per cent. Grapes made nearly an 1 * average crop. 1 1 The percentage of cows milked on The first of November dropped to 1 69.2 per cent as compared with 71.5 ‘ per cent a month before and a year J ago, while the production per cow * milked was 17.3 as compared with I 17.8 the previous month and 18.1 a I year ago. ° 1

HOW MANY WILL TALK THIS WAY AFTER DECEMBER 5? This vreek’s Radio Dial, containing a column by Sidney Ten Eyck,. called Doodlesocker Dribbles, reminds those radio listeners who .used to tune in on WLW every Saturday evening of “The Doodlesockers Are on The Air.” Ten Eyck, grandson of Tarbaby . Ten Eyck vfrote: Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Four Fingers of Scotch Quartette brought to you with the liquid compliments of the Leopold Blonyak Distilling Corporation, makers of that genuine Scotch that keeps you “tight” at all times. F From Sidney Ten Eyck, one of our’ satisfied users I wish to read a letter. | A tetter,, my friends, that is the high est kind of compliment to the product ( of our sponsors. I quote__“Gentie- 1 men: I had twelve bottles of yourj marvelous Scotch Whiskey in the' cupboard at home, and my wife instructed me to empty the contents of j each and every bottle down the sink. So I proceeded to do as the little | woman desired and withdrawing the cork from the first bottle, poured the contents down the sink—with the exception of one glassful which 1 drank. Then I extracted the cork' from the third bottle and poured the contents down the glass excepting one sinkful which I drank. I next removed the bottle from the next cork and poured a glassful down the sink excepting two corkfuls which I drank I pulled the sink from the next glassful and pourad the cork down the sink all except the bottle which 1 drank. Then I pulled the next cork from my throat and poured the sink down the bottle and I got to thinking how good your product really was-— When I had all the bottles emptied, I steadied the house with one hand while with the other I counted the bottles which were twenty-four. 1 counted them again as they came by and found seventy four and as the houses were coming by I pulled the cork from the chimney and poured the sink down the incinerator all excepting one parlorful which' I drank. Then I thought 1 would wash all the bottles, but could not get the brush in there, so I turned them inside out and wiped them smooth and dry and than sat down to write thiis to you. If you can use the world’s greatest taste tester in your factory please do not forget my great Grandfather, I Tarbaby.” Unquote. Thank you, Mr, Ten Eyck, and now on with the music. . And so I walked into the office of the Radio Dial and extracting the cork from the editor I poured her into the ,'i>k well all but one wastebasketful which I drank. SIDNEY TENEYCK. KILL DUCK DECOYS Hallie Holloway had two tame mallards tied in front of his cottage on Wawasee, to be used as decoys, to attract other ducks there, so he could have some duck hunting. And while he was away some other duck hunter thinking the tame mallards were wild ones, shot and kill-' ed same and took them with him, and when Holloway returned to his cottage to go hunting he hadn’t even a decoy. . f ' 0 T PROBABLY NOT INFECTIOUS The six months of Mr. and Mrs. Clee Weaver is ill with; meningitis. It will not be known whether this is the infectious type or not, until laboratory reports are re-. ceived from the state, but in order that there will be no danger of spreading it, in case it is of the irtfectious type, the house is quarantined until the reports are received from the laboratory.

BOOK REVIEW* (By Bessie Witherel Ballard) ' “Anthony Adverse,” by Hervey Allen, published by Farrar & Rinehart, s3*oo, is perhaps the outstanding book of fiction of the year. With its 1224 pages, in which are long leisurely descriptions, it carries the reader back to the era of . Scott, Dickens, Thackary, Dumas, ' and even of the later Conrad, with all the thrills and grandeur of thought those Immortals provoked. Os dubious parentage, the story of Anthony Adverse starts with his conception and ends only with his tragic death. It is a detailed ac- ' count of a cavalier living in the late I eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The locale includes Italy, I Spain, Cuba, Africa, France, Engiland, the Mississippi Valley, ending in Texis, then a part of Mexico. I There are four love affairs in the story — two illicit ones and two- hapipy marriages. 1 Anthony is found engaged in ; “Blackbirding” in Africa, and he amassed a fortune of his own and inherited another one. He served the large banking firms of Europe in helping divert Mexican bullion into .the coffers of Napoleon, then First Consul of France.Running through the narrative like the theme of beautiful music or the fragrance of flowers, is the story of “Brother Francios,” a magnificant character} a Franciscan monk, who is finally and 'actualiy crucified for his ideals, and the story of “The Little Madonna,” a smtll statute once belonging to Anthony’s mother. Also, through the story runs the romantic lilt of duels, tragic deaths, battles with= men, society and the elements, on land andsseaa —a variable saga and storehouse of action and event; and all the ingredients of the romantic novel which has the time and takes the time to set forth a memorable tale. NEWS FROM GARY HOSPITAL Mrs. Clara Wolf, of New Paris, niece of Mrs. Ssrth Sophia Sloan received a card from the Gcry hospiatl yesterday, dictated by Mrs. Sloan who said “she was getting alorg just fine. 55 Mrs. Chancey Sloan was able to walk to the room of Mrs, I Sloan Sr, , to see her, and Chancey was able to leave his room, Sunday. However, Mrs. Sarah Sophia Sloan’s legs have not yet been set as the swelling has not gone down.

THURSDAY, NOV. H, 1933 ' ■" '■ *-

Presidents cannot, in many caaei, be found." I did locate records for seven of our early Presidents, and for ten of the later group, beginning with Lincoln. The records show that seven early Presidents, (including Washington, John Adams and Jefferson) had, on an average, a 39 year old father (youngest father being- 33) while the father's of the later ten averaged but 34.9 (two youngest fathers, 27.) If we deduct the three martyrs, the later 1 average is still only 35.5. Both these averages are high, as compared with that for all Americans, which is below 30. 1 Now to cerify, double-check. Let's 1 throw these 17 presidents all together and regroup them, regardless of their date in history. Let’s group them into a group with fathers under 35 and those over 35. The former eight in number, averaged a 31 year old father and lived an average ’ of 63 years, just double; only John Q. Adams exceeding 68 years old. The nine with fathers over 35. averaging a 41 year old father, they lived an average of a full 72 years, only one dying a natural death under 68—John Tyler, aged 65. : j ; Here, then, is a clear gift of ten years of life and service by g*«*t , men, arising from the mere that they had aging fathers. And this'ten years extra had a tremendous effect in forming our independence. And we can see, here, also, the „ reason for mental superiority of some persons over others—they had an aging father. If there is any moral to this story, it is this: Have your children later in life! ed, and seats were to be varnished this week ready for re-opeptng of the church, Sunday. ! * j The Governor of North Dakota ; puts in embargo on wheat, thus assuring the state a real surplus. — ■■ -j ..... ~
