Catharine Keyes
Returns From Year
Spent In Germany
While studying musicology last
year at the University of Munich,
Germany, Miss Catharine Keyes,
daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Keyes,
had an excellent opportunity to
view conditions and attitudes of the
German people. Miss Keyes dock-
ed in New York last week and was
,tact by her parents, with whom she
spent a day before returning to her
position as head cataloguer of the
music division of the New York
public library.
Miss Keyes attended the univers-
ity for two semesters and stated
that the entire year was broken up
by holidays and celebrations, and
that the last semester was cut short
two weeks in order that all stu-
dents, both men and wonlen, might
start work iu the fields.
One of her classes was under a
Catholic priest, who, she states,
was one of the most brilliant pro-
fessors in his field, but was al-
ready being avoided by students.
She was the only mem.ber in his
class,
During the year the German gov-
ernment sponsored a two weeks
tom• for university students of
which '~iiss Keyes was one. This
took her into the Sudetenland
where one of the minor yet ob-
vious factors was the quality of the
food. In this section of Germany
it was much better, richer, and
there was more variety than in
Germany proper.
Miss Keyes asserted that German
folk feel confident that Hitler will
yet get Danzig• They believe his
abilities limited and that he will
blunder one day, 'but that he will
accomplish this feat. On the part
of the pro-Nazis, conversation flows
freely and comparatively happily,
but on the part of Jews, etc, words
are guarded and limited.
Rev. Bassett Will Preach
At Methodist Church Sunday
Rev. H. A. Bassett will occupy
the pulpit in the Methodist church
in Mount Vernon on next Sunday.
$155,664.
C. A. Hopper, Madison, ~Vis.,
$162,564.
Hunzinger & Co., 1)avenpori,
$165,423.
Midland Constructors Inc., Chi-
cago, $169,249.
The contract cost is $70 a mile
lower than for the project which
has just been completed in IAnn
County• The contractor expects to
'omplete tile lines in 100 calendar
days after work starts.
When work will start will de-
pend sontewhat on getting e'tse-
ments which work is in progress
now. It is hoped that the stake
~rew can be started out by the mid-
dle of September. The Johnson
county lines will be built first and
there is no reason why the south
lines can not be energized before
the work on the lines in the north-
ern part of IAnn county is com-
pleted.
Included in the contract is the
rebuilding of 30 miles of the pres-
ent line so that it can carry the
heavier load made necessary by the
extension• In some cases the lines
will be changed from two phase to
three phase• This work will cost
about $7,000.
The per mile cost of the line
figures about $640, according to
the contract signed•
LINES IN THE
SUTLIFF VICINITY
I The lines of the new project
i which will be of the greatest in-
terest locally extend east from the
Ely road, across No. 261 a mile
and a half north of Solon, between
the Reif and Crofta farms, to the
Sutliff store. Sam Weseott has
already started wiring farms in that
vicinity.
On the east and west road just
south of St. Peters and St. Paul's
church, the following have signed
for REA service: Jerry Barta, J.
Vislisel, E. G. Rushek, Ed. Koulda,
Frank Krob and Levi Pennington,
with an extension north to J.
Kratochivil and J. Pavelka places.
On the road a mile south of this
one, which runs into the rock road
from Sutliff to Solon, are the fol-
lowing signers: J. Feneil, Wes
Krofta, J. J. Fiala, Jack Zenishek,
Mr. Konect, John Pavelka, John
Cilek, Leo Ham, Mile Krob, Carl
LuTe, Pete RandMl, Sutliff Store
and Mrs. Wm. Beese. On an ex-
tension north are George Krob,
George Mallie, Frank Sel'ovy and
Ed. Vislisel and Leonard Pavelka.
Included in the new REA pro-
gram &re nlany short extensions to
the original iAnn project which
was placed in service in August.
The nlain extensions are as fol-
lows:
A line extends north, from north-
wcst of Marion, to a point about
2 ½ miles east of Walker with an
extension reaching nearly to Cen-
tral City•
Another extension starts at the
present east end of the line, at the
Claire Petty farm east of Viola and
will cross the Matsell bridge and
reach into Buffalo township.
About eight miles of line will be
built in Benton county crossing the
Linn-Benton line west of Fairfax.
A main line will extend south in-
to Johnson county, entering it at
the north-west corner of .Monroe
township in Johnson county, and
reaching to Tiffin and going east to
Oxford. Other extensions from it
will be built to Curtis, North Liber-
ty and Coralville.
A line will leave Linn county in
the south-east corner of Fail-fax
township which will 'be built south
thru Shoeyville to Swisher.
Further east a line will follow
the Ely road for two miles and
then go east to Sutliff as mention-
ed.
Other lines will be built east and
south of Solon.
Country Club Plans
Tournament Over

A club championship tourna-
ment will be held by the Mount

ish house at 7:30• After a short
program the group will enjoy a
campfire.
Last Thursday evening the boat-
party which was planned was
changed into a hike from the Low-
i er Pal to the Upper Pal because

Found Guilty First
Degree Murder By
Judge Hass
During the opening statement of
the attorney for Harry E. Aehey,
James E. Patterson, at the hearing
:held before Judge Charles J. Hass
in Cedar Rapids, Monday, Achey's
story of what preeeeded the fatal
:shooting of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Hoover in IAsbon on the evening of
June 23rd, was made public for the
i first time.
Achey had been talking with Mr•
and Mrs. Hoover before Mr. Hoover
went out of the room to get a drink
in the kitchen. When lie returned
Mr. Achey was telling Mrs. Hoover
of a check deal with his brother-
in-law.
Achey, according to Mr. Patter-
son, had loaned $25 to the 'brother-
in-law. He had needed the money
and had asked to have the loan
repaid• A check for $25 was given
him which was turned over to Dr.
Ivins in Cedar Rapids on a medic-tl
bill. The check was returned for
insufficient funds and was finally
taken up by Achey.
When Mr. Hoover came back
into the room he called Aehey a
cl----n liar. A blow was struck
by the father-in-law on two occa-
sions. He (Achcy) grabbed him
and threw him into a chair where
upon he lost his head and in a fit
of ra~e pulled out the revolver and
shot him.
Previous to this statement, Mr.
Patterson had reviewed briefly the
circumstances of relations with
Mrs. Aehey who had remained in
California after Mr. Achey had re-
turned to Iowa.
A sister of Mrs• Aehey, was very
antagonistic to the defendant, Pat-
terson said.
King Thompson, county attor-
ney, presented a review of the trag-
edy previous to the statement by
Mr. Patterson, Achey's attorney.
C. M. Villhauer, of Mechanicsville
son-in-law of Mr. Aehey was the
first witness examined. He state(]
,that Mr. Achey had supper with
Mr, and MYs. Villhauer, with whom
he made his honle, on the evening
,previous to the tragedy, and that
everything seemed normal after

of the school children of Belgium.
It is an appreciation for his inter-

their country. It stands seven feet
high on a four foot base and from

Back in history the only queen
of this country was the Queen of
May. Now we have Labor Day

and all kinds of queens, but as yet
there is no Kraut Queen. Why not:
a Sauer Kraut Queen?
