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.
Walking up to a cage with the
i package in one hand and a match in
i 1 m?^<r' thu woman passed a note
, to leller C. K. Kemusy which read: !
! 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,

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."

j * Origin of a Nuisance
A curious story is told to account
for the origin of "tip" in the sense
of a small sum of money given for
personal service rendered or expected.
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.
