Brunette Bandit Holds Up Bank D!nV!r* Col?" 11.?Threaten-! ?"K to blow up the bank with h park-! age she said contained nitroglycerine, a well dressed, pretty brunette ob' tamed $5,000 in a lone holdup of the Colorado State bank this afternoon.

Ciive me all the bills you have m i the cage or I will touch off this tattle , of nitroglycerine and blow you . through the window.' ' j 1 he note was passed so quickly that customers who thronged the >ank and employes were unaware that the holdup was in progress. Kenney told detectives that ut first he hesitated and then the woman idly began^ to trace imaginery figures on the front of his cage with the match. He said she looked down suggestively at a brown paper parcel she carried under her arm and from which a short fuse protruded. Kennedy took a handful?y of "fly bills and shoved them through the window. Then the Brunette declared," Kennedy^ said, "not fives, if you please; they're too' bunglesome. I prefer tens, twenties and larger." Kennedy quickly gathered up several bundles of $10 and $20 bills. He pushed them out of the cage and i the woman gathered them up and placed them calmly in a purse which she carried in her right hand with the match, Had to Amputate Leg P riends of W. B.

First Railroad Was In South In his ?e*rch for facta rotating to the industrial development of the 'Southern states, Arthur Coleman, Associate Editor of Holland'*, The 'wgttzine of the South, learned that the ft rat railroad in the United States chartered for general uae was in the South. Beginning with a brief mention of the historic "Tom Thumb" locomotive, followed by the "Best 1' riend," which exploded after six months of successful operation on the South Carolina Railroad, Mr. Coleman brings his readers down to modern Southern good roads and airways and shows what the South'* transportation system means toward developing Southern business. In the current issue of Holland's, Magazine of the South, he states that over 34 per cent of the total inilioad mileage in the country is in 1 v^,/SLUtoern that since ? >0 the South has shown an increase in railroad mileage of 84b per cent, against 405 per cent for all remaining states. The first steamship tp cross the Atlantic, according to Mr, Coleman)! was owned by Savannah capital and sailed from Savannah, Georgia. lie say? that last * year j export values more than doubled those of the Pacific coast, while import values through Southern ports, in the past quarter century, increased more than 840 per cent as against approximately 350 per cent tor all remaining ports in the Nation. Southern ports handle 42 per cent of the country's total water-borne ton-, nage. Export values from Galveston and Houston alone exceed the combined ports of the Pacific Coast. Nevigable rivers of the South handle over 17,240,000 tons of commerce annually, and operate over 21,000 miles of highway. In 1928 there were, in O cfnn n 8tates' a total of over ' miles of air mail routes and fields than 300 a'r porta an<1 land*nff "As these various phases of the commercial world are expanding, so is expanding this entire region?industrially, socially, economically? rising head and shoulders above every section of the Nation until its preeminence, so swiftly and so soundly attained, is the wonder of the United States today. But as its people prosper in the world of business and trade, they are giving thought, too, to those things in life which make for cultured and happy minds; for beauty and charm and grace of living. They are giving thei^ attention more and more to the planning and esthetic lmofiovement ,of their cities^ and their towns and even their rural sections. Their forethought is repaying them richly in dividends immeasurable in terms of financial gains; and, as is always true, when men doworth-while things without thought I of money, they are being repaid in money, also. Money which, in turn, is put back into further service for an appreciative people."

According to the story, "tip" is derived from the initial letters of the phrase "To Insure Promptness." It " was formerly customary, It is~ said, to have boxes in English inns and coffeehouses for the receipt of coins for the benefit of the waiters. "To Insure Promptness" or "To Insure Prompt Service" were printed on the boxes to remind guests that a coin deposited would result in special attention. Sometimes the phrases on the boxes were abbreviated to "T. I. P.," and "T. I. P. S-?" and from this 1 circumstance, according to the story, "tip" and "tips'' came into use. ' ' But quotations in the Oxford dictionary show the absurdity of this derivation. "Tip" in this sense is prob^ ably derived from an old English verb, "to tip," meaning to. give or hand to. r "Tip me that cheate (booty), give me that thing," wrote Samuel Rowlands in "Martin Mark-all, the Beadle of Bridewell," published in 1610 In "The Beaux Strategem," produced in 1706, George Farquhar wrote: "Then, Sir, tips me the Verger with half a crown." In -1755 fclu^JBo*d' was already used in its modern sense. "I assure you," said a writer in that year, "I have laid out every farthing in tips to his servants.**?Pathfinder. Mace Gets $1,000 j For 39 Young Hogs Marion, April 12.?In County Agent W. R. Wells' column this week appears some interesting statements, chief cf which is the story of Phil T. ~M^ce, of the Tabernacle section of tfte ' \ounty, who has succeeded wohdi^-fully welfc with pigs, as a side ljne bo agriculture. Last September Mr. Mace sold 19 pigs for $486.00 Last week he sold 39 fall pigs for a total of $1,000.'&6, bringing his 6 months total for pigs to the tidy sum of almost $1,500.00. Mr. Wells is authority for the statement that the cost of feeding these pigs was less than $600.00 In the meantime Mr. Mace has $1,500 with which to purchase fertilizers or other things desired or needed, and he requires less bank aid than the moneycrop farmer, who places all of his faith and all of his acres in a cotton I and tobacco gamble. In the cost of 'feed used by Mr. Mace it will be found that he sold corn, raised on his farm, to himself, as a'feeder, and that the market price thereby obtained was very high, compared to the price he could have obtained on 'the open market. Therefore, Mr. Mace has found & splendid market for corn, and will laugh, here after, at the man who tells him "there is no local market for corn, so why raise it?" In Mr. Wells' column will also be found the story of Billy Reed, a tenant farmer, who found that he had four pigs more than he needed for family use. So he inquired of tho farm agent as to feeding methods, and as a result of following same he sold these four pigs for $92.39. In 35 days Billy fed, according to orders, and he put 209 pounds of extra weight on the pigs, or a gain of one and one-half pound per pig each day. We need more tenant farmers like Billy Reed, who, like Mr. Mace, has some cash in April?and there are few others who can mfeke like claim.
