The verdict represents the approximate sum involved in a foreclosure Orton on 6,800 acres of land situated in Ward and Renville counties. The defendant had inter. poseq a counter claim of $100,000 for alleged impairment of eredit, bur this phase of the case was not touch- ed upon in the decision and will be submitted to a jury at the November term of court. " The securities claimea by the plaintiff in the foreclosure action consisted of bank stock, commission mortgages .ang four deeds covering the land, While not denying the debt, nor the fact that he gave the commission mortgages and bank stock as collat- eral security for the loan, Olson con- tended that he did not give the deeds as security and asserted that the land was not part of the security given to the plaintiff. Instead, he testified, he gave the deeds to the plaintiff with the idea of floating a bond issue ranging between $800,000 Florida swells with}, persons—M. A.

He immediately got in touch with Fditor Blanton at Paris and “Dad” Violet. Violet told of having refused $3000 from persons who wished to purchase the Twain home for mer- cenary reasons. He offered to donate the home and an appre- ciable amount of property as a location for the park if the state of Missouri would‘ improve it and guarantee the upkeep. Then and there the nucleus of the Mark Twain Memorial Park Association was formed. Blanton became president ‘and Lamson, secretary.

Jail Looks Rosy With Woman as Judge By NEA Service. Newark, N. July 31—It's a pleasure to be sentenced in the East Newark police court. That's what speeders, traffic law violators and other culprits say after having been hauled before the court. For Miss Sara V, Dunn, 26 and pretty, sits upon the bench, New Jersey’s first woman police judge, officially designated in this state as “recorder.” Although she’ has ruled cigar butts out of the courtroom and put a ban on smelly pipes, she is one of the most popular judges in the state. “The letter of the law is going to be. enforced in my court,” she says. “And there is going to be decorum. in the court.. I may be a woman, but I’m also a judge. My courtroom is going to be run just so.” Afd it is, Prisoners tip-toe into the courtroom, and just sit quietly by looking at the judge while she admonishes them, She is lenient with the drunks— if they do not drive autos. Says she: “The ordinary drunk, who does not jeopardize the lives of others, is harmless: He is entitled ta some consideration for his misfortune. “{ suppose one ean hardly blame some men for taking a few drinks, especially if they have to labor hard every day, and have.few home com- forts and little to live'for.

Can it be that Baker had any ul- terior motive in accepti the design? Did he pick it, knowing that the coins were to be struck off by a Re/ publican administration? It looks like it’s a case for Sherlock Holmes to worry about. Cordell Hull, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, who confesses he’s not an art expert, de- clines to comment on the lady’s good looks or lack of good looks. He has noticed, though, these shin- ing new dollars don’t go as far as the old ones did. That would seem to bear out Dr, Barnes’ contention that the goddess is somewhat of a weak- ling, he suggests. Two hundred and seventy thousand of the new dollars are being coined. They're replacing the “iron me melted down during the war when so much silver was being shipped abroad. And day by day, the “dollar lady, sickly though she may look to Dr. Barnes, is becoming more and more popular, ; BOOKS AID PILLS IN CURE Prescribed by Physicians in Hospitals in Cities -Books as weil as pills for curing the sick are now being used in the princigal hospitals of the’ country, according to Miss Louise Singley, district manager, for the American Library association. “Robinson Crusoe won't cure a case of tuberculosis, but reading doe: keep a_hatien: d off his trou- bles,” Miss Singley said. “Efforts are made to put,the right book in a sick hands. A librarian in a hospi- udies her patrons somewhat as a doctor does. Everything depends on the individual case, Some books depress and others excite. Many librarians say ‘that whole classes of books should be ta- booed from hospitals for these very reasons, But if a librarian studies her patients like the doctor, can prescribe books for him without dan- ger. A book that would hurt a per- son with a certain ailment or with’s certain, temperament will be all right for another. “The psychology of the patient must be taken into consideration. A tuberculosis patient can undertake more serious reading that most of the other sick people because his convalescense covers a longer period of time. CHICAGO, July 31.— “A librarian cannot tell a patient he must take one novel a week in large doses. However, she has to steer her readers without them knowing it.

Woman; She’s 69, Yet Runs Planing Mill Herself MRS. RACHEL NEILL By NEA Seryice,, Orange, No J., July 81.—A 69-year old woman is the best mill hand in town. She is Mrs. Rachel Neill, a gray- haired mother who took up the’ work as an avocation 36 years ago. Now her plant is one of the busiest in the state. There's little about milling that Mrs, Neill doesn’t know. She can feed a buzz-saw as skillfully as any man; she cam plane a~ board as quickly as her fastest worker; and there is no machine in her place that she eae operate. Her chief business’ is turning out window sashes, wall frames and the like. When a rush order comes in, Mrs. Neill leaves her little office on the first floor of her plant, goes up stairs to the workrooms and sees that the job goes through. If it doesn’t go fast enough, she rolls up her sleeves and lends a hand. “Old?” she says. “Not at all. Work is the greatest elixir of youth. It keeps one young indefinitely.” Although she is close to 70, Mrs. Neill walks as spritely as her young- lest employe, shouts as loud as the rest of them, as they raise their voice above the hum of the buzz- saws, and needs no glasses to im- prove her eyesight. business troubles? “Never,” she says. “What’s the good? If cost of labor and material mount, just be optimistic that they will come down again.” : General Wood's Free Use of Veto Brought on Resignation of Cabinet, Filipinos Say By Harry B. Hunt NEA Service Writer Washington, July 31—Washington officials in touch with recent devel- opments in the Philippines are not surprised at the beak which culi ated in the resignation of the entire Filipino cabinet. The split between Manuel L. Que- zon, president of the Philippine Sen- ate, and Governor General Leonard Wood, only follows open and active criticism by Quezon, for the last sev- reral months, of Wood’s policies, A year ago a break threatened over the attempt of Governor Wood to force Filipino leaders to lease the government owned and operated Manila railroad to New York capi- talists. This road has a trackage of 764 miles and has increased wake and paid a nice:profit over a five- year period. The Filipino leaders refused to sign the lease, Wood next aroused the antipathy of the Filipino leaders by vetoing 16 bills passed by the Philippine Legis- lature, One of these measures car- ried_an appropriation for a ten-year program for the University of the Philippines. Newspapers Aroused Wood was bitterly criticized for this use of his veto. For-the last several months there have .been hot discussions in the Philippine newspapers over the at- tempt of Wood to force the govern- ment to dispose of its sugar centrals and to liquidate the Philippine Na tional Bank. The Filipino leaders contended that the sugar centrals were render- ing very valuable service to Filipino sugar growers and were not in sym- pathy with the’ move to close the nk. e Wood, hdwever, took the reins in his own hands and closed 11 branches of the Philippine National Bank. This aroused a storm of pro- test. The Filipinos assert that if the Philippine National Bank is closed it will place Philippine commerce’ and industry wholly at the mercy of for- eign capital. President Quezon and other leaders made a tour of the islands protesting against Wood's Policies and threatened that if the governor general closed the Philip- pine National Bank the Philippine Senate would open another. The Filipinos maintain that Wood's acts are in violation of the spirit of the Jones law, passed in August, 1916, and assert that Congress intend- ed to give them practically complete local self-government with full pow- er to enact any legislation that does not conflict with the sovereignty rof the United States over the islands. What Good Is Legislature They quote the late Congressman Jones that such was the purpose of the legislation. : Quezon recently declared that if Wood is to formulate the policies of government without consultation with’ the Filipino leaders the Legis lature might as well be abandoned completely. In this connection it is recalled that the Wood-Forbes report con- tained the recommendation that some of the features of self-government inos should be withdrawn. Congress nor the president, however¢* have taken any steps to carry out these recommendations. Wood is now endeavoring, the Filipinos as- sert, to bring about the same results without Congress ever having ap- proved the recommendations.
