BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Deuteronomy 10:8.
A Hick Town
A hick town is one that permits a passing show to stretch
an advertising banner across Main street a free publicity
stunt denied the tax-paying merchant, and giving a jay look
to tiie burg.
A hick town is one that sanctions the distribution of
dodgers and hand-bills to strew the streets of the business
sections, pester the pedestrian, scare the horses and litter
the autos.
A hick town is one that turns over a section of the best
city streets to that itinerant aggregation of freaks, fakirs
and fol-de-rols for feeble minded, called a carnival, to bam
boozle the boobs for a small hand-out for some local uplift.
A hick town is one where smart shopkeepers paint their
store fronts glaring, garish discordant colors to attract
morons and make the judicious grieve, to save advertising
costs, and thereby effectually spoil the appearance of the
street.
A hick town is one where residents are so lacking in
personal and community pride that they fail to water and
mow the lawn, grass goes to seed on curbings and vacant lots
and unpaved streets are a sea of unkept weeds.
A hick town is one where the autos park in reverse, back
side to, instead of heading in, where they turn around in the
middle of the block and stand in files three deep for long
stretches of time in the middle of the street.
A hick town is one where snooping sneaks and sleuths of
the police force tap the pockets of tourists, smell breaths and
search every auto parked for a few minutes on the street at
night on suspicion, without warrant.
A hick town is well perhaps you know such a town, or
at least a town with some hick characteristics, not a thousand
miles away.
Sand-Bagging Springfield
The Eugene Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the neigh
borly occupation of sand-bagging the little sister city of
Springfield, by endeavoring to steal the railroad shops which
the Southern" Pacific years ago agreed with the people of
Springfield to locate there upon completion of the Natron
Cut-off, and for which it secured an extensive tract of land.
Eugene has a boom and the boomers have conceived the
ideajhat it would be a great stimulus towards inflation and
enable them to unload at a profit, if the prospective and
promised railroad shops were switched at taxpayers expense
from Springfield to Eugene hence the proposal to vole
municipal bonds for $150,000 to purchase a 200 acre tract of
land for a site and present the same to the railroad in
exchange for tho. hitter's holdings at Springfield.
Now Eugene and Springfield are only a few miles apart
and if the shops are located at Springfield, Eugene will reap
all of the substantial advantages for the two cities will
eventually grow together, but the boomers want the cily to
oTnw in Hip oilier direction where presumably their own
Vml.lm.ri urn Sn (liov are seekinc to induce the Southern
Pacific to break faith with the people and investors of
Springfield, who have for so many years patiently held
' the sack.
The unique feature of the proposal is that the pubhe
oniiMi,.,! lwmm-vs want 1 ho nuinicipalit v to put up the money
to secure industry that; will enhance their holdings, instead
of putting it up themselves as Salenutes Have done 101 inc
linen mill and as other communities do. Jimmying the cily
treasury and making the taxpayer the goat for the speculator
sets a dangerous precedent that can only load to disaster by
exhausting financial resources required for the legitimate
t,nnlu rf rrrnwincr rilv.
Tint why should Eugene seek to prow at the exprnso of
Springfield, which is really only a suutuo:
I wont du n-uaira untl hailed
taxi. I had made arrangements to
go to one of the big hotebj up
town, and tho driver took me there
so rapidly that when I arrived I
was Htlll In a daze.
As I roffl-Htercd a girl and s
young nuin came up to the desk
I porter deposited aome smart-look
ins hat;s, covered with foreign la
bets, bexl'le them. Tho girl was
laughing.
'Oh, I'm so excited over being
home," I heard her ay. "Think of
seeing everyone again, and going
to the apartment; when do you
Kunpotto we can move in? I'll feel
like on old married woman, In
stead of a bride, having my own
home."
A lylde and groom! Less than a
year ago Jim and I had returned
from our honeymoon, to aettle
down in the house on Governor's
island, and I was feeling like "an
old married woman" then. Only It
hadn't seemed like my own home
because Virginia was there, to man
ago everything and make me feel
that I was still just her daughter,
instead of Jim's wife.

LONG LOST
WITNESS IN
TRIAL FOUND
(Continued from rage one)
Stewart indirectly accused
Reichmann or having profited
from his attorneyship of the Mc
Clintock $1,000,000 estate which
was willed virtually in toto to
Shepherd by young McClintock
shortly before he died of typhoid
fever December 4 last, a death
Shepherd is accused of having
caused by administering typhoid
germs.
Mr. Crowe insisted Uelchmann
was one of the leaders of the Chi
cago bar and his affluence was
legitimate due to his ability us an
attorney.
The first mention of the pn
nosed suit by the McClintock
cousins to break the will woe made
when Reichmann admitted he
knew such a suit wa3 contem
plated, but denied he had an in
terest in it.
Concluding his direct examina
tion Reichmann testified that as
counsel for Mrs. William A. Nel
son McClintock after the death of
her husband, whom he had served
in the same capacity he had drawn
un the will under which tho estate
was transferred to the child.
He testified that when Mrs. Mc
Clintock had wanted to name
Julio" (Mrs. Shepherd) as a co-
guardian, he did not know who
was meant, not being acquainted
with tho Shepherds at that time.
Judge Olson obviously was dis
appointed at the brief story ho
was permitted to tell from the wit
nes stand yesterday.
In his cross-examination oi
Judge Olson regarding hie ac
quaintance with the McClintocka,
Attorney O'Brien was fihurp and
barked staccato interrogations at
tho dignified chief justice.
'Did you ever talk with young
McClintock?" shot out O'Brien.
"Well, I don't know. I may
have ' Btarted the jurist wit
ness.
"Tha'.'a enough, stop there," de-i
niamleJ the dapper little attorney.
Alexander Keichinau was the
next witness.
Ileichman fomerly was attorney
for William McClintock Sr., later
for Mrs. MoCUnlok and finally
with Mrs. Shepherd, a co-guardiaa
for McClintock Jr.
Much of his testimony dealt
with his acquainlunce wilh the
McCUntocka and Shepherds and
when the state's attorney brought
the examination to tho time
Ueichman refused Shepherd em
ployment another hitler debat;
was precipitated, the defense con
tending the state was trying to
bring out what was not said.
In the whispered argument both
sides mentioned serious charges
Shepherd and Ileichman were uuki
to have hurled at each other in
conversation with others.
Savs Shenherd Ienored.
Reich ma u denied he hud said
he would get a slice of the .Mc
Clintock estate for himself. IIu
testified that Mrs. McClintock
willed Mrs. Shepherd $5000 but
did not name Shepherd in her will.
Crowe's questioning of Reich
man ubaut a trip he made to Tex at;
concerning property of the Mo
Clintock estate brought on unother
argument, whispered to Judge.
Lynch to prevent the jury hear
ing. In it Stewart made a serious ac
cusation against the witness.
Crowe won his point, continuing
to question Keivfeman with an ex
pressed purpose to disc lost Shep
herds alleged motive and plot as
it was built up on the ultimate
ulayiiig of the ycuth.
He mentioned a "conspiracy" in
the whispered argument and the
defense demanded to know "what
conspiracy?" Crowe replied that
"the conspiracy will be unfolded
here."
"Well, there Is another side and
that opens up a wide field," re
plied Stewart.
Ileichman testified Mrs. Shep
herd wag allowed $400 a month
by tiie probate court for expenses
of the home and boy and $75 a
month for herself. j
