Well, well, here's Charley Paddock making a 100 yard dash into matrimony. f PAJDOGK Page 1 Oo you remember when Gharlie 2 EaduOG^k ^ t rn i a was smashing track 3records and when he was called the 4HWorldTs fastest human11?

Well, the Chicago Tribune says that Scarface Al Canone’s sister is going to marry the brother of a gang leader knovn as Frank Diamond. The interesting thing is that Canone and Diamond are leaders of different and not always friendly factions in Chicago gangdom. The alliance betv.'een the Ceoone and Diamond families will insure peace and harmony so the story goes. The sister of one kins? merries the brother of a riv^l king, and there ye have a treaty betv/een two modern kingdoms, kingdoms of the Underworld. The new Literary Digest, the one that will be out tomorrow, has a story on Al Cs-oone. It’s about an amazing troposal that the overlord of gangdom made to the Chicago authorities. It tells how Al offered to be a good boy if allowed to run his Chicago racket in neace. The Di^e t ex lain. CAPON? - 2 just how that cool T>roposition was rocGivad. Xttc story. And here’s another of the same sort. s nieturesque It looks as thou"h theyfre goi^T to have a firold rush over in Wales, That country used to produce quite a lot of the yellow metal, bu+ after awhile the miners thought the ray-streaks had rlayed out, and mining wss gradually abandoned e generation or so ago, Nov/, says the Associated Press, rros^ectors have discovered there’s still gold in them than Welsh hills, and everybody is talking of making fortunes over night. '< Down in South Africa, It isn't a gold rush they're having -- it's a diamond rush. A prospector found some diamonds along the coast of Mamaqualend below the low tide mark. And some time before this, according to the United Press, a magistrate had ruled that such ter xtory was fiee- for all, first come, first served. So now they've had to mobilize the rolice to keen order among the prospectors who are rushing in. And the rolice are being mobilized In Shanghai too KICKSHAW The rickshaw coolies of Shanghai are going on a strike, end the report is that, as a result, traffic may be tied ur worse than during that taxi strike in Pittsburgh a year ago. Idost Chinese streets are too narrow for automobiles. So the rickshaw is about the only answer to their transportation nroblei^. Now the Associated Press tells us the. t John Chinamen is throwing down his shafts and saying: MNo catchee more money, no rullee ricksha..,M HUSSEIN A news disketch from the main Euroreen office of the United Presr- over in London states that Hussein Ibn Ali» former kir.c“ of the Hedjaz, has not died, as yesterday’s dispatches indicated. The cable explains that King Hussein is sr seriously ill at his home on the island of Cyprus where he has been living in exile. It ados that his son. King Feissl of Irefe, is flying from Bagdad to be with his father. FAFi‘ There ere many items from the farm in the news todey. Well, I barren to be a farmer of sorts myself although I can't give you any secret tir on how to make the farm ray; but I am interested in farming, so I’m going to get out the old cracker box nov , seat myself on it for a moment and give you some of the farm news that has been coming in. Let’s take than there Pinto beans down on Neighbor NcDaniels’ place near College Station, Texas. Neighbor McDaniel says he has some rows of rinto beans that are 180 miles long. Now match that one if you can. Them there beans, I reckon, must be ^lanted in a srirel. gut here’s another one, Hiram, Have you heard about those two chars down in Louisiana with funny names? Fanner Wick Tedesco and Farmer Angelo Centineo are their names. Well, down they went to a nearby swamr and there they ketcheb themselves a turtle, and that turtle sure was a whorrer. He weighed nigh onto fifty pounds. And these two farmers intended to have some fine turtle sour. But Mr. Turtle is still alive. When they were hauling him to town in a truck, he sneaked U'n and bit Farmer Angelo, who let out a howl that could be heard all over Louisiana. Then the turtle started after Nick, who mad', a dive of i the truck, with Mr. turtle right out on to- of him. Well, Nick jumred ur and stented to run, but he was so excited that he stumbled and broke his leg, while the turtle rambled back to his home in the swamr. Maybe some of you farmers are interested in mules. I am a sorter mule fancier myself, and here’s a mule story that comes from out there in Colorado Springs just a few miles from where I used to work on a ranch. I’ve known some gol-darn fool mules too, but this Colorado Snrings critter has them all beat. The Associated Press says that this mule worked down in a mine for twelve years. They fed him hay down there in the darkness. His job was nulling cars from the stopes out to the shaft. For twelve years that mule never sew any daylight and when they brought him u- the other day they turned him out on soma green pasture, and he had actually forgotten how to eat grass. He just looked at it and didn’t know what it was for. Ten t hoiK- riv. s^cct-stors C!i©6T'ec! 8 s3 ©nclBr youth from Lambertville, New Jer ey, when he was announced as the outstanding student a.'iong 30 f 000 American boys who are prerering themselves to be erpert farmers. The Governor of Missouri prerented the boy with a $1,000 check out at Kansas City. The l^c's name is David Johnson. He is seventeen years old, runs his own ninety acre New: .Jersey fsrm, surmorts his mother and sister, and represents the fifth generation of a family of farmers. And then here’s one for you chicken farmers. Out in Kankakee, Illinois, Farmer Rucker’s hens won the big egg laying contest. Farmer Rucker had five hens and their egr laying race lasted for 365 days. Each one of his five hens laid 320 eggs. In other words, they only went on a strike forty-five days out of the whole year. And the Associated ^rees seys, that By Cracky, that beats the record Each one of those five hens exceeded the nrevious world’s record by eight- en eggs. But it’s no wonder Farmer Rucker’s FARM - 4 hens turned out to be champions when v.e heer what sv^ell names he gave them. One was celled Fleming Mamie, another Big Bertha, and the others were Theda Bara, Julie Marlowe, and Clara Bow. Well, those are our evening's farm bulletins. And now here's I Page \ , i — ^ffc- ,., -T P- 3'^-^P7TP'rTn^^rrrf -^£ 3 4 5 6 7 6 9 10 11 12 13 .. r-LJ , Bill i) e r■ b r o o k , a. n a i n e r i c a. n w r iter Birr, just t==- back from Central ,.fries with a lot of late bulletins on cannibals.

Seabrook says t!iat cannibals are the most hospitable people he ever enc untered. fnaybe you ' re r i ght, 3 i I wonder v; hat tert i mony a I ot would give on that subject, still a I ive to testify. But we of m i ss i onaries i f t h e y v; ere 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 In Roselle, lew Jersey, two ■police dogs were on a rampage. According to the New York Evening ^ost a street cleaner named Joseph was sent to capture them. The dogs, however, decided to crnture Josenh. He was running as fast as he could when he soied a -"-ale. He made a jump for it, and started climbing. Then he discovered that on, the ’-'ole was a roliee box, so he telephoned the police and then hung on until the co^s came. Well, that was a good jumn, losenh. And your news item brings us to the moment when I must juni'P too, so , goodnight until tomorrow.
