Fred Buzhardt, Jr.; now at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, the wedding to be solemnized in June at the First Baptist Church of McCormick. Miss Sanders is' an only daugh- er, her mother being the former Miss Stora Caudle, of Pikesville, Kentucky. The bride-to-be is a graduate of Winthrop College, SWAMP MADE TO PAY COME years ago a young man in southern Indiana in- herited a farm that was no good. It was swamp land; to walk across it you had to put on hip-boots and, as you walked, water snakes wriggled off ahead of you. The people laughed at him for having such a white ele phant dropped down on him. The land would not pay its taxes. The young man accepted their laugh ter as a challenge. He would see if he couldn’t change the elephant’s color. He would see what could be done with the swamp. The young man’s name was Eugene C. Shireman. One day he was talking,to the local man ager of a soap company and the man told him that his company was giving away a bowl of goldfish as a premium, but that they couldn’t get enough goldfish. The moment he pro- *>• Carnegie nounced “goldfish,” Mr. Shireman had an idea. He would raise goldfish. He began to study goldfish; everything about them. He traveled a hundred miles to spend an hour with a goldfish expert. Finally, Mr. Shirenfan cleared out a pond and put in 200 goldfish. Half of them died. He tried again. More lived this time. He found a ready market for them and now began 7 to hire help and raise goldfish in a more ambitious way. He converted more and more of the swamp land into goldfish land. Then he began to buy ad joining swamp land—land which the farmers said a was good for nothing. He now has 1,500 acres and of this one-third is under water. ^ ' The business has now grown to the extent that he ships goldfish all over the world. He has become the goldfish king. If you have a goldfish, the chances are that it or its ancestor came from his old swamp-farm at Martinsville, Indiana. *rech.
