METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE PRIEST GOVERNOR SMALL'S TRIAL PROBABLY CLOSING Vernon and the late E. C. Curtis to defraud the state. But this is what Mr. Miller testified to, in substance. That he had Received every Penny of the various amounts certified to officially by State Auditor (Russel save a small amount on deposit in a bank, which had gone into the hands of a receiver) as being due him from Mr. Sterling, with approved Collateral for every cent: And that he had liquidated the collateral and collected from his predecessor every penny that the State Auditor officially certified was due the state. Staes Attorney Mortimer, directing the examination of Mr. Miller failed to shake his story in the slightest degree, or to bring out any suggestion of any irregularities on the part of Governor Small. And when Chief Counsel Charles C. LeForgee, for the Governor, quietly took Mr. Miller the transactions of the transfer of the office from Sterling to Miller, revealing the fact that the state had received every cent due it, and rested his cross examination in thirteen-minutes the prosecutors looked around crest fallen for a few minutes, and then went into consultation. It was rumored that they would try again to break down the Miller story, but they finally decided to take no more chances with the East St. Louisian. The important points of Mr. LeForgee's cross examination of the state treasurer were as follows: "When those papers were turned over to you, you then had in your possession all of the securities which are mentioned and described in this report here. amounting to $10,052,006, in the various banks and other institutions in Illinois." JUN 20 1822 Waukegan, Ill., —June—The prosecution's case against Governor Small is closing in anticlimax this week and will probably be concluded before the week end comes. The climax came Thursday of last week with the calling to the stand of State Treasurer Edward E' Miller. Here was the man who for nearly twelve months had been heralded as the "star witness" of the state; the man whose testimony would undoubtedly "convict" Governor Small. Here was the man, who when friends of the Governor charged political persecution, was set forth by the prosecutors as "being responsible for their action," because, "He came to us with such evidence that we felt compelled to bring the indictment against him." But Mr. Miller's testimony was not a "Big Bertha" for the state; it was only a "dud." It in no way "convicted" the Governor, it did not even point the finger of suspicion in his direction As a matter of fact Mr. Miller proved as good a witness for the defense probably, as any it will call to the stand. Here is the comment of D. Salkeld in the Chicago Daily Journal, a paper which at least has been over zealous in its support of the Governor: "Mr. Miller's testimony failed to produce promised sensations. Mr. Miller was on the witness stand one hour and twenty minutes. He was questioned one hour and twelve minutes on direct examination and the cross examination took just thirteen minutes. The failure of the state fell like a wet blanket on the spectators in the court room." The prosecution had expected to prove by Mr. Miller that Gov. Small had conspired with State Treasurer Sterling, and PROGRAM OF THE MT. OLIVE S. S. CONVENTION The Program of the 24th Annual Session of the Mt. Olive S. S.

St. Clair 1969 Read The Grazette SPECIALIZE ON CHINCH BUGS Particular Reason Why Farmers Should Act to Protect the Bob-white Quail From Hunters. Every shot fired this season at the bobwhites that are wintering in your fields is a act at your pocketbook, says Farm and Ranch. Quails destroy millions of hibernating bugs that would otherwise awake in the spring to fall hungrily upon the product of field and garden. "While you fight the chinch bug, redouble your efforts to increase bob-white quails," says A. C. Burill of the Missouri College of Agriculture. "They are said to eat from 500 to 1,000 chinches at a meal, and their stomachs crave another meal every two hours. At least, this is the usual rate of digestion in most insect-eating birds. Quails are the only wild birds which specialize on chinch bugs in the winter season." To protect the bobwhite the most effective plan is for several farmers co-operatively to publish a notice in the county papers forbidding hunters to shoot quails on their premises. This has been done successfully in several Missouri communities. Many county papers are running such notices properly drawn up by a lawyer and kept standing in the paper throughout the hunting season. In such cases the publishers will add the name of any farmer in the county and keep it there for, say, 50 cents for the season. Protect the quails; they will fight your bug battles for you—winter and summer.—Our Dumb Animals. OPPORTUNITY WAS TOO GOOD How Justice Story Got a Laugh at the Expense of Two Highly Distinguished Americans. President John Quincy Adams was one of those uncomfortable persons who are up at work by some ungodly hour of the morning, and he was just a bit vain about it—that is, as valm as a good Puritan ever allowed himself to get. But still everybody knew that the President got up at five and worked straight through to eleven. He was paying a visit to Harvard college one time when Justice Story of the Supreme court was delivering a series of lectures to the newly organized law school, and President Willard of Harvard, another early riser, took him over to hear the justice. Now, Story was a notorious bon vivant; he got up late and in other ways acted like a civilized person. He began his lecture with the President of the United States served at his right and the president of Harvard at his left. It was a drowsy afternoon along in May. Pretty soon he heard a titter from the audience and, looking out of the corner of his eye, what did he see but the President of the United States sound asleep. Then he looked over to the other side. Sure enough, Willard had also succumbed and was nodding away. With a twinkle in his eye Story turned to the boys and remarked: "Gentlemen, behold the ghastly results of intemperate rising!" "Army" Tests for Collegians. Army Test for Colleges That the results of regular academic tests do not clash with the results of psychological tests, but accord with them, is shown by comparison of the grades made by Penn state college students in both kinds of examinations. For the last two years freshmen have been given the army, Thurstone and Binet-Simon tests and these results compared later with their academic ratings. In variably those students who made low averages in the psychological tests were low in their college work. Of 67 students dismissed on account of poor scholarship last year the average for the army "alpha" test was 118, while the general average of the students is 131. Of the three types of psychological tests tried the results of the army test have proved to be the best indication of the grade of work a student will do in college. Brazilian Air Lines. Brazilian senators have reported favorably upon a bill proposing the establishment of two aviation lines between Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, which are to be started before September of 1922. According to the United States naval attack in Rio de Janeiro, one of the routes will be laid along the coast, carried out by hydroplanes and maintained and directed by the ministry of marine; the other will traverse the interior of the country to the west of the coast range of mountains and will be continued by airplanes under the direction of the ministry of war. The routes will pass through the most important political, industrial and commercial centers, wherever possible. Retrieved That Gold Piece. While in the station in Brussels in Belgium, my friend was intent upon getting tickets for the Waterloo battlefield. Not being able to talk much French and trying to speak her best, she in her excitement dropped a $5 gold piece without noticing it. It slipped quietly down her dress. A Frenchman stood within reach of the window, and at once planted his foot upon it. As my friend turned from the window I was nonplussed what to do to recover the coin. I yielded to the impulse of this moment, as I had to act quickly. Stooping I took the man by the trouser leg, gave the leg a quick lift, and so reclaimed our coin. All looked surprised, not a word was spoken, my friend and I were in possession of the coin, and the Frenchman was outwitted—Chicago Journal. Treasury of the United States Benefited and the Value of the Breed increased. In the spring of 1921 the bureau of biological survey directed attention to the fact that the blue foxes on some of the Aleutian islands are deteriorating through inbreeding, and that there was a desire on the part of the natives and others to secure animals from the Pribilof islands for restocking purposes. In order to assist in building up the blue fox industry of the Aleutians, where climatic conditions appear to be favorable, the introduction of new blood from the Pribilofs was accordingly undertaken by the bureau of fisheries, and eight live blue foxes were placed aboard the coast guard cutter Bear at St. George Island September 15, 1921. One pair went to L. A. Lavigne, lessee of Unalga island; one pair to the Unalaska Native Brotherhood, lessees of Avatanak island, and two pairs to N. E. Bolshain, lessee of Kavalga and other islands. The purchasers supplied shipping cases and transportation was at their risk. All the foxes were received at Unalaska in good order and were promptly placed on the islands under lease to the various persons concerned. The price charged for each animal was $88.12, this being the average realized for Pribilof blue fox skins at the sale at St. Louis February 21, 1921. The amount received for the eight foxes was $704.90; $5 was allowed natives of the Pribilof islands for each fox secured, and the net proceeds, amounting to $664.96, were turned into the treasury of the United States—Fisheries Service Bulletin. SOME MERIT IN SUGGESTION World Would Certainly Be More Colorful if Woman Would Dress as This Article Desires. "If some women are so anxious to dress like men why don't they imitate the masculine styles of a lovelier day and age than the present one?" asked an elderly artist the other day. He pointed out the lack of beauty of the existent garb for man and then recalled the silken dandles of Shakespeare's day. "And wouldn't the women of today look nice in those attires?" he asked. "The imitation shirts and the stiff collars that the women flaunt set me crazy, let alone the cuffs and tortoise shell glasses, and now I even hear they're thinking of wearing bloomers and trousers. "Well, let them revive the fashions of old when a tailor knew how to dress a man. Let them wear the silken knee-breeches and the silken coats, heaped high in the front with frilly stocks and fringed with lacy cuffs. And then -ah! the accompanying white silk stockings would be rather delightful. And that would solve the short-skirt controversy." Cails Paderewski a Giant. Calls Paderewski a Giant. No one can ever realize how hard Paderewski worked for his results. Sometimes one hears of the great heroism of the pianist who practices six or seven hours a day. Time and again I have known Paderewski to keep on working until three and four in the morning, often working fourteen to sixteen hours a day. Of course, only a physical giant could have accomplished this, and indeed such was Paderewski. His endurance and strength were enormous. When I was playing with him at Erard's he insisted upon having a chair that was especially heavy. This very physical power gave Paderewski an enormous range of tone color possibilities. Indeed, if it had not been for his enormous endurance he could never have accomplished the work which gave him a seat at the peace conference as the foremost citizen of Poland.-Harold Bauer in Etude. Petroleum Statistics. The American Petroleum institute's analysis of official petroleum statistics for December, 1921, shows an excess of domestic production and imports over indicated total consumption, including exports amounting to 14,087,539 barrels for the month, or at the annual rate of 165,899,505 barrels. In December, 1920, there was an excess of production over consumption of 7,113,051 barrels. In November, 1921, there was an excess of production over consumption amounting to 9,801,968 barrels. Exports totaled 5,791,007 barrels in December, 1921; 5,057,466 barrels in November, and 7,922,003 barrels in December, 1920. New Cape Breton Salt Bed. The first rock salt deposit ever found in Cape Breton has been made near Whycocomgh, Victoria county, where a thin upper vein of a salt bed has been pierced at a depth of 120 feet below the ground's surface. A number of natural springs rich in salt have also been discovered and a company of Cape Breton has been incorporated for the purpose of developing the salt production industry in the district. Immense Demand for Eurs. Several hundred thousand pelts, including polar, grizzly and black bear skins, coyotes, buffalo, silver, red, cross fox skins, muskrat, beaver, sable, mink, were received by a fur company at Montreal to be sold at its winter sale. Shipments were received from all parts of Canada, as well as from Russia, Labrador, United States and Patagonia.

Russian refugees in Constantinople turn their hands to all sorts of money-making devices. The latest and most successful are cockroach races. These are held in rooms which the Russians hire along the Grand Rue de Pera. The story as told by Kenneth L. Roberts in the Saturday Evening Post, is that in the center of each room is a large table with a miniature race track built on it. The owner places a box at one end of the track and waits until his patrons have made their bets on five contestants. Then he opens the box and discloses five enormous cockroaches attached to diminutive sulkles. As the box is opened four of the contestants may start briskly around the track, while the fifth may turn abruptly and center in the wrong direction amid heart-breaking groans from those who are backing his colors. Then the leader of the four racers who are headed in the right direction may stop short and twiddle his feelers pensively, and the other three may also stop and cluster around him to investigate the cause of the delay. While the conference is in progress the cockroach that started the wrong way may change his mind, turn and come dashing past the four idlers with his eyes flashing and his tail up. Then the four idlers may recover from their momentary ennui, start briskly up the track again and pass the fifth contestant, who has probably fallen into a brown study and leaned up against the race-track wall with crossed legs and weakly waving feelers. And so it goes, until one of the cockroaches finally pulls himself together and scuttles across the finish line. SEES POSSIBLE FALL OF MAN Scientist Points Out How the Race May Sink to the Level of Lower Savages. "Some millions of years from now an entirely new and more highly organized animal may spring from some ancestral stock now relatively obscure and rise, at first slowly and then more rapidly, to even greater heights of achievement than anything which lies within the capacity of the human species." After tracing the geologic evolution of the earth so far as man knows it, Dr. Eliot Blackwelder of Harvard university, at the meeting of the geological societies of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, in Toronto, Canada, in these words suggested the possibility of a future usurper of man's pre-eminent place on earth. "As our modern civilization becomes more and more specialized and diversified, our relations to our environment become more and more complex and our adjustments more delicate," Doctor Blackwelder said. "Eventually, after all the latest possibilities for advancement possessed by the human species have been exhausted, the race may conceivably sink back to the general level of the lower savages, which are but little above the other mammals."—Kansas City Star. When Ingenuity Triumphed. When ingenuity triumphed. Caught short on time with a New York opening date booked, and facing a huge loss for each day's delay, a moving-picture producer made arrangements to edit, title, and cut the play en route between Los Angeles and the eastern metropolis recently. With a special car equipped as a laboratory and attached to a limited train, the work was found entirely practical even while speeding eastward at a mite a minute or more. Twenty-eight heavy steel containers carried the original film, which remained in the "can" all the time it was not actually in use. Editors and cutters worked continually, stopping only for meals and for a few hours' sleep at night, and on these occasions every scrap of film was returned to its proper container. The work was entirely successful; and by the time the train arrived in New York the film was finished and ready for delivery. —Popular Mechanics Magazine. On the Jump. "I reckon you had a right lively time in Kansas City?" insinuated an acquaintance. "Tolable," replied Gabe Gosnell of Grudge, "but nothing like what I probably would have had if I wasn't considerably lively on my feet. You see, up in Kay See, if you meet a respectable-looking man after four o'clock in the afternoon anywhere the least bit off to one side, he's a holdup and robs you. "And if you meet one that don't look respectable, he's a plain-clothes policeman, and pounds you because he thinks you're a holdup. So I was practically on the keen jump all the time I was there, dodging one or the other." —Kansas City Star. Would Have Helped Some! Nick Slick, the latest acquisition to the town, had done the "heavy" in no half-hearted fashion. Smart, and glib of speech, he had found the townspeople of Little Littleville very simple folk and easy game. He had obtained credit right and left, and then he had flown gently away, without ever disturbing the dust or the pile of unpaid bills in his lodgings. "By gosh!" muttered Wilkins, the grocer, who was hard hit by the defaulter, "if I'd known he didn't intend paying, I'd have charged him double, I would!"—London Tit-Bits.
