Deciding there was more money

appointed a deputy sheriff or Trin

a couple or years, packing a gun
and hunting down criminals in the

Leaving Trinity, Jack went to

work. For tho past five or six
yeaiB she bus been in Cunyonville,

"a rolling alone gathers no moss."
- Toil Has Its Reward
What does this fortune consist
of, do you ask? Cush, stocks,
farm and city piopyrty. Its value
has been reported to me by her
ti lends and neighbors to ruuge
anywhere, from ten thousand dol
lars, to .a quarter of a million.
Somewhere within these figures,
lies the truth.
Very shortly after the deuth of
her step-mother, occurring early
In December, Jack received a pll't
of fH.nuo, an accumulation due her
from bur grandfather's and her
father's estate. In addition, she
is heir to over 100 shares of
Western I'll ton stocks, from the
same source. She hIho finds her
self sole owner of a Hiti-aere farm
near Anderson, Indiana, and two
hoiiHcs and lots in Peru, Indiana,
exact value undetermined, (tang

Impressive Indeed, and no doubt
would give rise to the optimistic
reports us to the size of her In

al of her holdings at the present
time probably would plaee t tie

000.
A fortune has a comparative
value. To a multi-millionaire (25,

to most of us It would he some

The first thing Jack Is going to
do, she says. Is to go fishing, when
spring comes and the waters of
the mountain streams abate and
clear. Bho is an ardent fishenvo
mun, having practiced the art all
her life. Getting about as much
enjoyment (like many a fisherman
I know) out of fine tackle as the

Huid, "right among the people who
have known me all my life, and
who I know to be my friends. I'm
going to build me a little house
this summer, so I and the dog will

STUOEBAKER llf
The Studebakers of If 36 have

among local motorists due to the

designers have provided theae au

example of this waa exhibited yes
terday at the showrooms of Ump

Arts building, local Studebaker
dealers, where a new Studebaker
Dictator cruising sedan was dis
played. Every model in each of the new
lines of Studebakers, the Dictators
and the Presidents, has been built
with an luea of pleoaing Motorists
who like to go pluces and take
things with them, whether the
toads be personal or "freight," Ac
cording to A. E. Elliott. Not only
Is that true, but each model is of
fered in a variety of luggage com
partment arrangements large
enough to cover any whim or do
sire a motorist may have.
For example, the Dictator sedan
Is offered in what 1b called the
"custom" model, the "cruising"
model, or with one or two aide
mounts for spare tires. The "cus
tom" model has an unusually
large trunk built-in, that is, "blend

the car. And each of these two
models may be had with either on a

the extra tires. Without fender
well mountings the spare tires are

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. (AP)
To keep peace among the wivej
of the American diplomatic corps,
President Roosevelt has Issued an
order deciding a dispute of lung

At issue was the question:
How much latitude is allowed a
chief of mission abroad on choos
ing an "official hostess" for a so
cial affair if he happens to be a
bachelor or bis wile is away at the
moment?
Some ambassadors and minis
ters have settled the problem to
their own tastes by calling on dis
tant relatives or asking some other
lady outside the diplomatic set to
act for them.
This has aroused jculousJes and
fanned Indignation among the
wives of other members of lega
tion or embassy stalls. They have
felt entitled to the honor in Buch
circumstances.
A show-down came when the un
identified chief of an unidentified
mission brought in a young aud
distant relative to receive for him
at a function over tiie heads of
other wives within the mission.
This caused many an Indignant
