The Land Of Sunshine
The Inland water way, on which
the apartment was located, was an
intercstlng place with all kinds of
boats passing, from a large ferry
l)oat to those with outboard motors.
Many beautiful cabin cruisens pass-
ed continuously he'tring names from
St. Paul, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston,
New York and Miami besides many
others. By means of ,the inland
waterway these small boats can
come from ]~ong Island sound to
Miami with the exception of cross-
ing Chesapcak Bay. On days when
the pecan is smooth the small
boats can go out and run in the
ocean seeking the protection of the
waterway if it gets rough. Part of
the waterway is canals but often it
is rivers or lakes close to the shore.
Many small boats going deeI) sea
fishing passed. They carry poles
as high as 30 feet, which are swung
out to the sides when fishing be-
gins and hold the tines away from
the wash of the boat. The fish line
is fastened to a clothes pin on a
line from the high pole. When a
fish strikes the clothes pin releases
the line. Five hundred yards of
line are carried on the poles used
for deep sea fishing,
TI{IP HOME
Although I stayed two days
longer than originally planned the
time to start ,back came all too
quickly. Beginning with the winter
travel season south three coach
streamliners were put in service
between Chicago and Miami, in
January, each traveling over differ-
eat lines, the three gave daily ser-
vice although you have to go via
the route of the streamliner on the
(lay you wish to leave. These trains
have been carrying capacity crowds
all winter. Making the trip in 29
hours they save from 4 to 10 hours
over the regular trains whlch carry
pullmans.
The I)ixie Flagler was the
streamliner running the night I
started home. It was one hour late
out of Miami because new wheels
had to be put on the train and
reached ttolywood at about 7:46
p.m. The regular train, which
would have made connections at
Chicago, left at about 11 o'clock
that morning so using the stream-
liner gave me another day in the
sunshine and the mercury got up
to 78 that day.
Diesels pulled the train on the
Florida East Coast line to Jack-
sonville. Thirteen minutes of the
time had been made up hy Jack-
sonville and the next morning the
train pulled out of Atlanta on time
and was right on the dote into Chi-
cago.
With only ten minute stops at
J'~cksonville where a steam stream-
lined locomotive was put on and
Atlanta, and five minutes stops .at,
Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville,
and Evansville and a very few scat-
tered stops of less than one minute,
the train really makes time. The
route is winding because of the
rough topography of the country.
The train had all of the latest de-
velopments and was very comfort-
able. In places the motion on the
observation ear was felt and some
people preferred to ride up in the
coaches where it was smoother.
In a number of places I could see
the highway wc had followed south
the week before. The train reach-
ed Chicago tit 10:55 p.m the time
probahly passing the slowest toward
the end of the evening. Ten
minutes after leaving the train I
wan in the Northwestern station I
the train which reach- I
and
soon
on
es here at 6:25 a.m. After whatI
seemed a short sleep the porter l
woke me as the train was ieaving i
Stan wood.
Getting off here in a light snow
storm on Thursday morning after
having spent Tuesday in tempera-
ture up to 78 was quite a change.
But there was a satisfaction in get-
ting ,back home and among friends
which overcome any feeling that a
longer vacation would have been
nice.
James W'. McCutcheon
W. E. Beck, jr editor of the Tip-
ton Conservative, has made a ser-
ies of improvements on his news-
paper until it is one of the best
looking weekly papers in eastern
Iowa. A new Linotype and new
Miehle newspaper press have been
installed by the Conservative office
at largo expense. The new dre~
of IAnotype mats with new type
give the newspaper a thoroughly
modern appearance.
Sir Wilfred Grenfell had a for-
mula for life. He said, "Man
must play, work, love and worship
to get the most out of life." St.
Luke gives us an idea of the for-
mula of one great man when he
says: "And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature and in favor
with God and man."
From the evidence of these two
great men, we can see that they
considered everyone to have four
things on which to build: A body,
a brain, a heart, and a soul. In
other words your life must contain
physical adventures, mental ad-
ventures, social adventures, and
spiritual adventures.
In this formula there is only one
thing lacking. We don't have giv-
en the quantity which we should
use of each to get the best results.
From the statements of Grenfell
and that of St. Luke concerning
Christ, it would seem that equal
quantities of everything would
make the most balanced life. Are
you giving your heart, brain, body,
and soul all an equal chance? Or
are you placing too much emphasis
on one thing!

SONG TITLFS
"flown Argentina Way," "Marie," '
while out walking was singing, "It's !
a Blue World," "Because," "Billie"
had been "Too Bomantic" and then
suddenly turned cold and said, "I
can't Love You Anymore." Now
here she was among the "Singing
Hills" letting her "Imagination"
run away with her for only the
night before she had dreamed that
"Biliie" had been on "Make Be-
lieve Island" with another girl
named "Rosalie," "Darn That
Dream" she muttered as she walk-
ed along. Because she was so
heart hroken, she determined that
she would "Never Smile Again" and
that when the "Swallows Came
Back From Capistrono" she would
still be "Nobody's Baby." When
"Marie" reached "Blueberry Hill"
whom did she meet but "BiIlie" (so
that dream about "Bosalie" had not
been real after all.) Hc rushed up
full of apologies and said he wouhl
never be "Careless" again and hop-
ed "Maybe" she would forgive him
"Pretty Girl," he said, "Your Lone-
ly and I'm Lonely" so why don't
we be lonely together "Only For-
ever" in my new house at "Pennsyl-
vania Six Five Thousand." "Marie,"
replied, "The Nearness Of You" is
enough to make me happy again
but a proposal and a new house---
"All This and Heaven Too" couldn't
make me any httppier. "Please
Say It" over and over again. So
the two "Blue Lovebirds" went to
live happily ever afterwards nnd of
course they did their "Window
Shopping On Fifth Avenue" when
it became "We Three" at "Pensyl-
ranis Six Five Thousand."

There'll Be Some Changes Made
week would have passed into his-
tory.
Great numbers of measures were
being disposed of with clock-like
regularity. The calendars were be-
in~ replenished from the reserve
stocks of sifting committees and
no effort had yet been made a curb
the output.
ADJOURNMENT IN DOUBT
It may be that the assembly
will not adjourn on the day sche-
duled. Events of the next few
days will decide the matter and
the decision may come in the lower
house for that ,body holds the key
to actual final adjournment.
This is so l)ecause one member
of the House of Representatives
had the foresight not to close the
door securely on an 87 day legisla-
ture. R(~presentative Arch McFar-
lane, oldest member of the legisla-
ture in point of service and a par-
liamentarian of ability, filed a mo-
tion to reconsider the vote by
which the sine die adjournment
resolution was adopted in the
House.
The motion to reconsider has
been sleeping in a pigeon hole in
the House but with the watchful
eye of its sponsor on it. If the
legislature finds itself in a jam of
accumulated legislation in which
the issue has not been decided by
hath houses, and this is possible by
next week, then final adjournment
of the assembly may seem unfeasi-
ble. It ~'ill be then that Arch Mc-
Farlane will prod the sleeping mo-
tion into action and it will become
the liwliest piece of parliamentary
machinery in the legislature.
I'I~OP, LEM
Just now it seems the thing that
will put the machinery of the legis-
lature out of plumb will be the re-
districting of the congressional
areas of the state--a move started
in the Senate where the issue was
heatedly debated early this week.
It remains for the House to solve
this perplexing issue and to salve
the sore spots and heal the lesions
inflicted on the body politic in that
memorable battle in the Senate.
How long this may take is any-
body's guess 'but it furnish~s am-
ple excuse to prolong the session
beyond scheduled adjournment late
next week. Another thing, the
Senate has been pushing the House
to the limit in enacting its own
measures faster by three to one
than the house has been able to de-
liverits own in return. All this
adds to the perplexities of the
finaldays of the legislature and
has a bearing on the question
whether the clocks will be stopped
on April lO or whether the final
adjournment date will be lifted en-
tirely for a temporary period.

CONFESSIONS OF A
CHALK MARK SPY
The night was cold and dreary
and the wind howled around the
house. Inside poor little dwarfed
Jean Smith sat, chewing on her
pencil, trying to think of an article
for Chalk 'Mark. All day the Editor
had been on her trail demanding
an article.
At last this poor little half-starv-
ed creature was forced to write the
gossip column. How she had ob-
tained the news was a pitiful story.
It would not 'be fit to print. So the
little half starved girl continued.
Her pencil was about all "chewed
down"--her light wa.s that of a
gasoline lamp.
Her anemic little face lifted it-
self from the scrap of .paper . .
her parched mouth was aching for
somethin~ to cat . . . all day she
had been deprived of food. Finally
in despiration, she called to her
mother in the kitchen
"Mother can I have my Ry-
Krisp now?"

To overemne some of the handi=

shortened the procedure in taking

chine. Approximately half of the
