Her mother I gave her willingly because to her i also the west looked like a golden opportunity. They started west just i before the end of March and' arrived in Cove May 13. Of this arrival she says, "the birds were singing so gaily and it appeared to me that their song was a glorious welcome." She elves a little from her mo in those earry. days as ionows vine peo- Die and most everything appeared , different. I soon began to see among , the people in general a more progres- i sive spirit than I had left behind. . The little school house stood where : tne present scnooi now stanas. it was moved down and come to be the back part of the post office and drug store kept by Josepli , 0. Stevens school house was used as a church also for all denominations that were represented here. In those days it took the whole neighborhood to make a congregation. A few years later , through the Influence of & G. French the Episcopal church and rectory wore built. At about the same time , Prp.icher Morrison' as he was called. interested the peonlo ln building the Old Morrison church. Tills building is now a part of the I. O. O. F. ha.ll.

Tho administration of these diet.' is a rather complicated affair and the reports from those who have studied their effects are contradictory. Thl plinBe ln the treatment of tubercu losis,' therefore, must be adjudged &f still very much ln the experimental stage. ., Comes Who rs Political Storms Fill First Year as By Louis P. Looluier BERLIN (Ph For the second time within the year that Helnrlch Bruen lng has been chancellor of the young German republic, the country is op erating under emergency powers granted to the president by article 48 of the constitution. Post-war chancellors all have had a tough time of It, but probably none has experienced a stormier stretch than Bruenlng has undergone ln his Urst 12 months. Soon after he took office, March 30, 1930, be fbund it necessary to call on "Father" Von Hlndenburg to suspend the relchstag and put the national budget Into effect by executive decree. . Now, after another relchstag ses sion marked by much political bat tling, the same presidential power has been evoked to control the riot- ' ous extremists of the right and left who would tear down tho republic. I.tUle Known At First - I Bruenlng; although leader of the Catholic Center party, was little known to the country at large when President von Hlndenburg called TAKE TO THE HIGIJ-ROAP ADVENTURE WITH Lawrence Cliff EDWARDS in the dramatic :. , ' ifiJLiS Esther WTnf RALSTON ''y grand songs, loads of laughs! a charming romance, "10ING home after Strange adventures but the strangest was to come in his own quaint Southern home!

Now some call him ''the strongest chancellor since Bis marck." The task he faced was at least as big as any of those which con fronted his predecessors, all of Whom had their troubles. Bruenlng had the thankless Job of awakening Germany from Its dream of living on borrowed money, and he had to preach and enforce a program of Spartan economy. He had to promulgate higher taxes find forestall foreign credits, thought essly solicited. , Ordered New Elections How little the country under stood Its own necessities as con ceived by Bruenlng became ap parent when, after trying in vain to make the relchstag see his point of view, the chancellor prevailed upon von Hlndenburg to order new elections. - .

In France and Poland, alarmists' saw a new - war, provoked by Ger many, around the corner. in Germany a feeling of panic pervaded most classes. Hard-headed bankers came rushing to Bruen lng and urged that he yield power to the Nazis. ' Hitler proclaimed in Lelpslc that "heads would soon roll." One of the - few men who re mained cool was Bruenlng. Bome ono must govern, he said, and he continued to govern. Only occasionally did he mout tho rostrum of the relchstag, but what he said was delivered with such quiet assurance and cpnvlnc- lug logic that his cabinet weath ered one crisis after another.
