For complete Agent CHICAGO tN RY. 44 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 Sunday and Labor Day A club championship tourna- ment will be held by the Mount Vernon-IAsbon Country Club on Sunday and Monday. Players will be placed in flights according to their qualifying rounds which should be played on Sunday morn- ing. The first of the flights will start on ~unday afternoon. The usual Labor Day family pic- nic will 'be held at six o'clock. Anamosa Group Will Be Guests Thursday Evening On Thursday evening, September 7, the U'nion Young People of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches will entertain the Young Peoples group from Anamosa. They will meet at the old Methodist Par- 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 of the coolness of the evening.

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.

She has spent the sununer vacation in Iowa, the last three weeks with her sister, Mrs. Josephine Kettering. West Branch boasts a bronze statue of Herbert Hoover, the gift of the school children of Belgium. It is an appreciation for his inter- est in them when hunger stalked their country. It stands seven feet high on a four foot base and from a south location faces the little white cottage. It is now covered and will 'be unveiled either before or after Lis'bon's 'S&uer Kraut Day. which is SeptemLer 21. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Dahn and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. McClelland re- i turned Saturday from a week's va- cation in northern Iowa and Min- nesota. Back in history the only queen of this country was the Queen of May. Now we have Labor Day Queens, peach, watermelon, flower and all kinds of queens, but as yet there is no Kraut Queen. Why not: a Sauer Kraut Queen? The fairest of ladies dressed in a frock of cabbage leaves crowned with a cabbage root which would be in style as every shape is style in '39 hats. Every preparation is going on for Kraut, new features, and old features, but all good. Kraut day is Thursday, September 21. IAsbon, of course. Bees Stop Haying Force C'u'l I~Ic:
