The first is as mean as a thumb in the eye; the second, as heartening as a sunrise. . .. The mean one is about a Philadelphia industrialist who, on one of his frequent business trips to New York, made the acquaintance of a young lady whose good looks were only surpassed by her amiability. Despite the fact that he was married, the tycoon began to see a lot of the girl, and it wasn't long before he had set her up in a Madison avenue apartment and was forking over $300 a week to cover expenses. After a couple of cozy and clan- Billy Rose destine years, the girl said to him one night, “If something ever happens to you. Daddy, I’ll be left without a pen ny. Don’t you think you ought to do something about securing my future?” “You’re a b s o- lutely right,” said the industrialist. “Give ne a few days to work It out.” The next time he called on the girl, he handed her half a million dollars worth of 3 per cent railroad bonds. “These will yield you an income of 15 thousand a year,” he said. “Every three months as the cou pons come due, clip them and I’ll cash them in for you, and you can use the money for expenses.. "You’ll notice l haven’t put your name on the bonds. Well, that’s because the transfer of so large a sum would come to the attention of the board of direc tors and cause a lot of talk. How ever, if anything happens to me, you can write your name in and sell the whole lot at any broker age house.” The girl thanked him, and the pair continued seeing each other until the tycoon keeled over In his Philadelphia office a couple of years later with an attack of coro nary thrombosis. When his lady friend read the obituary in the pa pers, she wrote her name on the bonds and took them to the broker age house. The broker examined the certifi cates. “You’re a little late. Miss,” he said. “This railroad went out of existence almost 30 years ago.” The girl picked up the worthless paper and walked out. “The dirty double-crosser,” she muttered. “All he gave me was the same three hundred a week.” AND NOW let me take the thumb out of your eye and show you tbe sunrise. Some years ago, an Iowa garage- man went bankrupt and decided to make a freah start in another state. He scraped together a little cash, loaded his wife and kids into a beat- up Chevrolet and headed for Cali fornia. Unfortunately, the jalopy broke down outside of Tucson and the cost of getting it fixed cleaned him 'but. To get a little eating money, he set out to canvass the garages in town for a job but quickly found the supply of Ideal labor was great er than the demand—Tucson, be cause of its climate, was filled with tuberculosis victims, a good many Of whom were mechanics. At the last garage on bis list, be repeated his hard-luck story and got the standard turndown, but as be started to walk out bo was stopped by one of the me chanics. “If you need a job as bad as you say,” he said, “you can have mine. I’m pretty sure I can fix it with the boss.’* “Don’t you heed the job your self?” said the man from Iowa. “I’ve saved enough to last me for six months,” said the mechan ic, “and the doctor who’s treating me for TB says that’s all I figure to live.” \ i E35CRE INEZ GERHARD TnANNY SCHOLL, as a wartime ^ entertainer of our troops, had to bail out of a blazing plane in the South Pacific.

Wilkinson ■pHE DAY BEFORE Darling’s ^ three-ring circus, largest to ev er visit New England, came to Dexter, Silas Ledbetter called his 12-year-old son in from the bam and said: “Look here, Jackie, you’ve been a pretty good boy this summer. Guess you deserve bein’ on hand with the other boys at that circus when it gets here tomorrow.” The Ledbetters were poor as church mice, and Jackie hadn’t dared even let himself think his pop would let him attend the cir cus. Consequently, his round blue eyes grew even rounder. Old Silas grinned and swal lowed a lump in his throat. He dug down into his pocket and brought out a shiny, new sil ver half-dollar. Jackie carefully placed the half- dollar in a pocket of his tattered overalls, pulled his straw hat well over his ruddy face, puckered up his lips and began to whistle. He whistled all that afternoon and was still whistling when he came in from the lower lot for supper. Once upstairs, Jackie carefully took off his shirt and then felt in the pocket of his overalls for the half dollar. He’d better sleep with it under his pillow, he reasoned, like he’d read about folks doing. It was right then that Jackie’s heart sank, right then that the world turned black and there was a horrible, terrifying, empty feel ing in the pit of his stomach. The half dollar was gone! Jackie wanted to cry, but he was too much of a man for that. He searched through the other pocket very carefully, and then looked in his shoes, and under the Jackie carefully placed the half-dollar in a pocket of his tattered overalls. bed and about everywhere that the half dollar might have been. But it was gone, completely vanished. And so Jackie, his heart ach ing with misery, crawled into bed. And then — he couldn’t help it—he cried. But all the time he kept telling himselft he was a man now and he’d better stop crying before mom came up to tuck him in and kiss him good night. If mom found him crying she’d feel bad and probably cry, too. And Jackie\didn’t want that to happen. TJE COULDN’T, he decided, ev- en let mom know that he had lost the half dollar. Or pop either. That wouldn’t be fair. He’d just go off by himself tomorrow afternoon and make them think he was at the circus all the time. He wouldn’t want them to know for anything. There wasn’t any one in the world had a better pop and mom than he. Jackie fought to keep back the tears. He didn’t wait long after breakfast and set out with his pitchfork over £is shoulder and a whistle on his lips. Once out of sight of the house, the whistle died. The ache and misery in his heart just wouldn’t let it go on. Still, he was going to see the parade anyway, and pop and mom would think he was go ing to the circus. It was comfort ing to know that pop and mom were happy. Jackie reached the lower lot and began to shake oat the hay as pop had asked him to do. He couldn’t loaf on the job, he told himself, because if he did pop wouldn’t think him very grateful for the half-dollar. Jackie turned the hay in one windrow and started on the next. But all the while his heart fairly sobbed with misery. And then ab ruptly that same heart almost ceased to beat. Jackie stared and stared at something round and shiny that lay in the stubbles un der the forkful of hay he’d just picked up. After a long time, it seemed, his heart began to thump again. He felt goose pimples breaking out all over his body. He wanted to cry and shout" and do all sorts of things. And then Jackie remembered that he’d been working here on the afternoon before, and the half-dol lar must have slipped out of his pocket. He picked up the coin, squeezed it lovingly and, holding it tightly in his clenched fist, went to shaking out the hay again. The best mom and the best pop in the world, he told himself joyfully.

This Is Your Paper Not All Pictures Are Good Ones Wind Erosion In North Dakota wind erosion of soil is more important than water erosion. By William R. Nelson A PICTURE may or may not bi worth “10,000 words”, as ths Chinese proverb claims, but it cer tainly represents a pretty penny ii costs, time, space and judgment, if published in a newspaper. In addi tion, it is seldom desirable to re publish a picture, so all of the ef fort, time and money expended ii for a single use. Editors appreciate the interest shown when readers suggest pub lication of pictures, and they com ply as often as possible. But pub lishing a picture in a newspaper ia not as easy as it may seem. Pictures are Pictures only “worth Are 10,000 words” News, Too when they con vey desired in formation. That immediately classi fies them as news and means they should be selected for their news value. Unless a photograph is oi someone or some event currently in the news, publication has little or no meaning. Assuming that a picture has news value, it then must be of such qual ity it will reproduce well in the paper. Many photographs which are entirely satisfactory^-for an album cannot be reproduced distinctly enough to be recognizable in a news paper. Publishing such pictures is a disappointing waste of space, ef fort and money. There are other factors, too, such as permission of those in the pic ture for its publication, its news value or the amount of interest in it among the paper’s readers, and whether there is time to make a cut. If not taken No Place specifically for for the paper, on Incongruity its, order, a photograph may not be timely and therefore its use may seem incongruous. Even if timely but received too late to get a cut made, it may not be practical to use it in a later issue because reader interest will have waned by then. For these and many other rea sons, the editor is always the best judge of whether or not a picture can be or should be published. If the paper publishes other pic tures, some not local in origin, in the very issue for which your’s was rejected, it is well to remember that in addition to the above fac tors, there is still another. It is that some pictures, always of news value, are furnished to the paper in forms that make their use easy and inexpensive, because they are al so supplied to many other papers. |By JIM RHODYI Rifle Search On A nationwide search for 124 rare old rifles of the 1870’s has just been sparked by The American rifleman, official publication of the National Rifle Association. The 124 guns are the only ones ever made of the little known “One of One Thousand” variety of the Model 73 lever action repeating rifle which Western pioneers said could be loaded on Sunday and fired all week. In its current issue The American Rifleman describes in detail for the first time this high accuracy rifle about which few of the country’s leading gun experts even know about. The magazine asks gun lov ers and collectors who own lever action rifles to examine them care fully for the words “One of One Thousand” engraved on the top of the barrel just ahead of the re ceiver. Owners of these rifles have been asked to notify the magazine, giving the serial number of the rifle and any historical facts about it they may know. The year 1950 is the seventy-fifth anniversary of the introduction of the “One of One Thousand” which was made by Winchester from the years 1875 through 1879. How many of these rifles are still in existence is not known.. The “One of One Thousand” is a variety of the fa mous model 73 “the gun that won the West” of which the New Haven company made 720,010 from 1873 un til 1924 when the model was discon tinued. It was the second rifle to bear the name of Oliver JV Win chester, pioneer firearms manufac turer. . In announcing the “One of One Thousand,” the company described it as follows: “The barrel of every sporting rifle we make will be proved and shot at a target, and the target will be -numbered to correspond with the barrel and be attached to it. “All of those barrels that are found to make targets of extra merit will be made up into guns with set-triggers and extra finish and marked as a designating name ’One of One Thousand’ and sold at $100.00.” One of the few known rifles of this variety was loaned by New Haven firearms manufacturer-for use in the motion picture “Winchester 73,” in which it plays the leading role with such stars as Jimmy Stewart and Shelly Winters appearing in “supporting” parts.
