His was a masterful touch when it was a question of drying them ,too. His trouble , said his wife. Katie, in Judge Joseph Sabath’s court, was that he wasn’t satisfied to do the dishes for her. He preferred to have his art praised by another. Thus it was that one night in Sep tember, 1938, Martin ate heartily. But he didn’t have time to do the dishes. There was an engagement he said. So Mrs. Benzinger did them and went for a walk. Not far from home she peered into a kitchen win daw and ohserved her husband. He was washing dishes, even better than ever. And he was drying dish es with kisses, or almost. Judge Sabath said he had heard enough and instructed Mrs. Benrin ger’s attorney, Otto Braer, to draw up a decree. Burke County Boy In Poultry Success Morganton News-Herald. In 1935 a Burke county boy, who had been partially incapacitated by war service in Prance and had been advised by physicians to spend as much time as possible in the open, decided to go into tjie poultry busi ness. He bought a small incubator an dthat first year hatched a few hundred chickens. His incubator had a capacity of 600 eggs and at that time he thought he had be gun on a rather large scale. Every year since 1935 Sterling Cline, whose poultry farm is near Valdese, has been increasing his hatching capacity. Several times he has exchanged incubators to in cubator which will hold from twelve to fifteen thousand eggs was install ed. this in addition to a large oil operated machine giving the hatch ery a capacity of more than twenty thousand eggs. It is worth a trip to the Sterling Poultry farm to see what Sterling Cline, who went into the poultry business on a small scale and has applied to its pains taking diligence and unremitting care, has been able to accomplish. His example is worthy of emulation TAUGHT TO “SEE" BY BEING BLIND Overcame Lot* of Family’* Fortunes And Sight While Junior In College. (Julia Blanshard in Philadelphia Record > New York.—“I had to be blind in order to see. I suffered and through it learned that happiness lies In one's own heart.” That is the message of cheer to handicapped folk that Ruth Cross, little author from g'exas. gives the world. Her story is One of a slender, blue-eyed girl who took life’s blows valiantly and learned that in a zero dark hour both character and abil ity are developed. Ruth Cross was bom on a big cot ton and fruit plantation just out side of Paris, Texas. Han was a quiet childhood, with riding, gar dening and all kinds of books to read out under the trees. She didn’t care much for people. She lived with the heroines of the books she read. When she finished reading a novel, so thoroughly had she lived it that it was a shock to come back to real life. Misfortunes Come Doubly. In her 'Junior year at the Uni versity of Texas, her family’s for tunes were reversed and simultan eously her eyesight failed her. “You will be blind for life if you use your eyes at all," a specialist told her. "My sympathies at first were all for myself,” Miss Cross spoke of that crisis. “I felt I could not survive a sen tenoe that took my beloved book* away from me. Then Z realized that for my family's sake I must rally. I would finish college some way. There must be work for me that would not need my eyes!" Her story of how she finished the next year and a half, without sight, is a stirring tale. Her friends ral lied about her. With her eyes band aged against the glare of the Texas sunlight, Ruth would listen, while they took turns reading aloud to her. She would reconstruct from mem ory her Virgil, her Ooethe. When It seemed that she Just could not get her lessons without seeing them, she would cry aloud to herself: "I must remember. 1 will learn to see with 'wy-ww* - - • Tamed to Writing. She won her degree. Then came that terrific struggle of earning V living without taxing her eyes. Shw got a Job teaching oral Latin and German. Then she learned the touch system on a little portable typewriter. * “The Rats Around My Place Wees Wise,” gays John TuthOL “Tried everything to kill them. Mixed poison with meal, meat, cheese, etc. Wouldn’t touch It Tried RAT-SNAP. Inside of ten days got rid of rats.” You don’t have to mix RAT-SNAP with food. Saves fuss* lng, bother. Break a cake of RAT* SNAP, lay It where rats scamper. You win see no more. Three slses, *1-25. Sold and guaranteed by Sut tle’s Drug Store, Cleveland Drug Company. adv. She would write stories of life as she had learned It through contact with people. For Ruth Cross had discovered that the little every day tragedies of those about her, of her very own self, were of the stuff which makes novels. Four years ago her first novel be came a best seller. In a single week of Its date of publication, this gal lant young woman sold a vaudeville skit that Is still playing, won a hearing on a play and received or ders for five short stories from the nation's, best paying periodicals. About the same time her eyesight was restored. She still must guard against strain. But she perfectly now. During the past four years it al most seems as if life Is making com pencatlon to Miss Cross. She nas had a fascinating time, living first in the south, then the Middle West, then six months In Reno giving spiritual support to a friend getting a divorce—one of the very girls, by the way, who gave up her spring afternoons to read to Miss Cross tn college. In California she met the man to whom she now Is engaged. They both like solitude, so they bought an old Colonial farm near Winsted, Conn., and rebuilt the house with their own hands. They have planted the place In ail the evergreens native to the state and Miss Cross' old-fashioned garden Is known far and wide. "Each of them has a workroom and when winter comes, instead of go ing to town, they lay by food and get a tremendous kirk out of being snowed In. Last winter they had six feet of snow about them,. “Life has taught me the value of a steady routine,” Miss Cross talk ed of her working day. ‘ So wa have early breakfast, then I stack the dishes and work from 9 to 12. After a lunch left over from dinner the night before. I stack the dishes again and work three more hours. I use the daylight for my writing. Try Sar Wants Ads.

Berlin—"Every man who gets Into my hands is lost." said Irma Bruns, a beautiful and clever woman, aged 32. In the court at Heidelberg, where she was being tried on vari OUb charges of fraud. There was a touch of sadness and a touch of pride in her voice as she made tills statement, and as four of her six successive husbands—an au thor, a professor, a major, and a ccptaln—committed suicide, she cer tainly had grounds tor believing that her charms are total.
