rony and some cheese and a small
can of milk ansoforth,
2.?Ask your grocery man to send
this stuff out to yore house at once,
and that will give you a chance to j

Hard Times
Times are so "hard In our town that
it is almost impossible to get a seat
at the picture fhow. I had to stand
in line exactly 1 hour and 24 minutes
the other night^when I went to
see "Pie CrUSt."
\ "
Yes sir ree. We are having hard
times these days. Just think of it!
Old man Jones had to trade his old
radio in for a new one and the cash
difference was only 2 hundred dollars.
Had conditions been a little bit
"easier," his old loud speaker would
have been satisfactory.
I don't see htrW we are going to
stand these hard times. Mr. Smith
was so pressed for cash last month,
he had to trade in his 19 and 29
model Buick for a 19 and 31 Cadillnc.
As it stands now, he has only 2 cars,
1 for himself and 1 for his \yife, but
if things keep going from worse to
worser, it looks like he will have to
get a car for each of his 3 children.
I don't understand why hard times
have to visit our country so often.
The flappers are being forced to buy
3 pairs of 4-dollar stockings now
where they., bought only 2 pairs of
2-dollar stockings before hard times
set in. Impending poverty makes it
almost impossible to get waited on

[The Best Purgative for
Ruins of Sodom is
Found by Explorers
Jerusalem, Jan. 2.? Archaeologist
working in Palestine wonder whether
the ruins of Sodom, which the Bible
says was ho wicked it was burned to
the ground, finally have been found.
An expedition of the Pontifical
Bible Institute of Jerusalem, excavated
ruins of a city hitherto unknown
to science in which all houses
and buildings were covered by u
large layer of ashes.
Investigators, taking note of relics
found, assumed the place was burnwl
in the bronxe age and never has
been inhabited since. The relics included
broken pottery, a few vases,
and flint instruments. Among the
ruins was an ancient wall .built partly
of stone and partly of bricks.
The ruins are located in the eastern
plain of the Jordan about six
kilometers north of the Dead Sea.
They were located quite by accident
when members of a Pontifical Instistitute
party found some Hint objects
?iid potsheards where their tents were
located.

Stuck in Chimney;
Crook Calls for Help
" Chadds Ford, Pa., Jan. 2.?A burglar
who tried to enter the .house of
John 1). *5chiedt here t>y way of a
chimney ,got stuck, early today, and
was forced to call upon the occupants
of the house for help. He was rescued
by firemen and'* arrested by state
police.
The prisoner gave his name as
Michael Toth, 27, of Philadelphia,
he said he learned to climb when he
was a sailor and thought that "chimneys
would be easy."
Toth said he and two companions
tried to enter the house by windors
and doors, but failed. He then
climbed to the roof and slid down the
chimney. Just above a fireplace in
the living room he found himself
trapped. He squirmed for two hours,
then began to moan for help.
Charged With the
Murder of Father
Hickory, N. C., Jan. 1.? John
Harmon, 17, will face a preliminary
hearing before Judge E. M. Bledsoe
in Catawba county court
Friday morning at 9:30 o'clock titi
a charge of murdering his father,
Oma Harmon, 60.
The youth admitted last night, that
he shot his father, but said he did so
to protect his sister who had been
threatened by his father. The sister,
Lela Harmon, 19, and Wash Dellinger,
a son-in-law are held pending the
outcome of the hearing.
Eleventh Victim of Exploration.
'Columbus, Texas, Dec. 28.?Death

at .the filling stations, they, are so
crowded with customers.
The drug stores are feeling the
pinch of hard times. Their business
has been so heavy they have had to
hire extra help, and the folks are
calling for banana frip-pees now instead
of smalf lemonades, and it simply
takes more time and money to
serve the former. They have also observed
that since hard times arrived,
the sale of Hp-sticks and paints and
rouges have doubled. That means
extra expense to the boss.
1 don't know where these hard
times are leading us to. They have
forced the folks to go around in their
r.ice new cars nearly all the time,
especially on Sabbath Days, and it
is almost impossible to find a parking
place . . . since hard times got
here. It seems that the meat mai>
kets are suffering some also: they
enn't sell their .cheap "cuts." Every-,
body wants "T-bones" and round
steaks.
But the preachers and the doctors
and the lawyers and the grocers who
sell on credit and the dentists who
waits till next week and the Salvation
Army and the tax collector all
lay' that the hand times have *not
helped them any, so far, except they
are all a few steps nearer the poorhonse,

of shiny new toys. He spread the

who had removed them from a vault
and forgot where she put them.
With the poorhouse staring him in

cobbler, of Pasadena, Cal., received
word that he was worth $400,000.
Years ago he had loaned u friend
his lifetime savings, $7,500, and his 1
friend had died without puying the
debt. Middock attached property in

land was considered worthless until a
mining company discovered, deposits

glanced and hit an old chopping block.
A peculiar noise led him to investigate
and a bung removed from the
block disclosed a number of holes j
drilled in the wood, all fillet! with
silver coins, amounting to over
$3,000. Behind the wall of his father's
bedroom Jacob also found $2,700
in bank notes. Jacob's father, who
mistrusted banks, in which he had
once lost money, died without telling
his son where he secreted his savings.

Find Aged Man
Hacked To Death
Laurinburg, N. C., Jan. 4.?The
brutal slaying of Alfred Elyson, aged
filling station operator, was revealed
today when neighbors found the old
man hacked to death at his filling
station, four miles from Laurinburg.
Residents of the community, noticing
the filling station had not opened
at the accustomed hour, entered the
building to investigate. They found
the body, the head split open by two
blows with the blade of an axe and
crushed by another blow with the
blunt side of the weapon.
Robbery, it appeared, had been the
motive of the slayer. An open cash
drawer in the filling station indicated
a search had been made for money.
Elyson, said to have been a native
of Iowa, came here several months
ago and opened his place of business.
He lived alone and slept in the rear
of his filling station.
Officers believed the man had been
called from his bed last night by
someone on the pretext of making a
, purchase and struck on the head with
the axe as he bent over the ice box
to get a bottle of soda water for
what he believed was a customer.
