Nobody’s Business By GEE McGEE I An Immune Fran Hard Time*. Don’t talk to me about hard times was born and raised 8 miles from a railroad, 3 miles from a river, 6 miles from a school house, 9 miles roan a church. 885 miles from New :.'o.k. 200 yards from a wash-hole :s feet from a cornfield and 8,587 r.les from Hongkong. Our nearest neighbors lived 2 miles away and they couldn't read and write either. 1 never saw a suit of underwear till 1 was 17 years old and that revelation didn't belong to anybody In our family. The only book in the house during my early childhood was a Bible and an old catalog that somebody sent us. There were 12 members of our family, but you see, we had 8 rooms to live In, including the din ing room which was also the kitch en. Everybody worked at our house. 1 * We thought everybody else In the world had gravy and bread for breakfast, liver end crackling ho cake for dinner and buttermilk and 'corn pone for supper—cause that’s whet we had—and we liked It. Some of us wore brogan shoes oc "caslonally In the winter time. We had nice white shirts for summer time use. We slept on straw ticks, and pillows were not thught of or required, J didn’t know that money would, rattle till I was nearly grown. Father got hold of 2 half dollars at the same time and hi let us hear therb rattle. Takes were higher then and harder to pay than now. We owned 2 kerosene lamps nelth cr oif which had a chimney. Our house wasn’t ceiled, but 2 of the rooms had lots in tfcim. We had a glas window In the company room. Our nicest piece of furniture was a ho-made rocking chair. Our beds '. were of the slat or tight rope vari ety. The "trunkle-bed" took care of all of the younguns under 5 years of age and It stayed full all the time. We went to school 2 or 3 months In the year, but not In a bus. We attended church once a month, but t In a car—we used a 2-mule wa it. We dressed up on Sundays— nov In satins and silks. We cr wrote leters or received any. made our own lye hominy and! .cd our own lye from our own -hopper. We drank sassafras and never yearnrd for coffee. We sopped our own molasses, we u-e our own meat, we ’ considered rice such a delicacy that only preachers should eat; we had heard of cheese, but never saw any; we knew of some store-bought clothes but never hoped to wear any; we got a stick trf candy and 3 raisins for Christmas and were happy; we loved ma and pa and obeyed them— we were rarely ever sick, never hungry, enjoyed being naked, didn’t want much, expected nothing—and that's why our present so-called hard times ain’t hard to me. And Then I Went to Work. Ax'ter I got too big to go to school I landed a job as assistant depot agent at a semi-flag station in a little town about the site of your double fists. I had reached the eighth grade In school and that was plenty education for a hayseed like tne, sothafs why I decided fo slow down on intellectual effort. My teacher taught me lots of things In school, but I was so dumb I dldnt learn much. I could spell fairly well, read to some extent, do a little cyphering if you’d keep me out of fractions and was just get ting read; for Latin when that 5 dollar-a-month and board Job show ed up, and I made a dive for it and got It. My duties were as follows: run ning the depot, poet office, weigh ing cotton, trucking freight, meeting 3 trains every day, selling 2 or 3 tickets a week, picking cotton when railroad work got dull, helping to do “turns" about the house, and at tending prayer-meetings wherever one was held within 10 or 15 miles of our place. We boys were strong for prayer-meetings—where we’d 'dually cut up too much. The population of *his static® ~s 23 till the Mitchells moved way and then it fell to 11. When it family left, our schol was al ost broke up. We nad a 1-teacher bool with a house full of boys add 5 iris. He got $25.00 per month, that is. he was promised that. It was stylish to whip disobedient pupils back then. Our town consisted of 1 store. 1 guano house. 1 church. 1 depot, 1 preacher and 6 whlttlers. We had the champion Whittier of the world in that town. You've seen whittlers that would whittle little things like tooth-picks, watch charms, walking sticks etc., but Bob Botkins was not that kind of whittler We whittled with a vim. It took 2 or 3 good-sized white pine dry goods boxes to keep him in material for 1 hour. Bob whittled like he was fighting fire all the time. Some of his shav Ings were 3 feet In length. I have seen him practically burled in hl« shavings many a-tltne Once, hla pile of shavings caught on fire and he almost got burnt to death before he was pulled away. He whittled on his way to town, he whittled while in town, and he whittled on the way back home. He always carried sev eral boards home with him so's he could whittle till he got back. We had many other Interesting men there, none of whom ever worked. Elbert Jones always kept hla arm broke or something. Sam Oreen had somebody trying to get something out of his eye all of the time. Bert Keener toid us Civil war stories. We checked up on him once:: the war lasted 34 years and he was in 497 different battles, but he never got a scratch. Nothing ever happened In this town while I was there 3 years except the school house burnt dowm. "*°ams Mill Dots Of Personal Items Honor Roll For School Children.

Bankruptcy Laws Get A Change By Federal Congress Bankruptcy As It Was And As It Is Today. Debts May Now Be Compromised. (From Time Magazine.) In the midnight solitude of his office, John Doctor, smalltown phy sician, spread his books out on the desk, began casting up his accounts. He owed his landlord $700 in back rent. His bill at the grocers was $200 Other stores about town had claims of $600 on him for household fur nishings, clothes, books, jewelry Against him was pending a $1,000 deficiency judgment because his home, on which he had a $5,000 mortgage, brought only $4,000 at forced sale. A friend held his unse cured note for $500. That made his total indebtedness $3,000 and his creditors were clamoring for full and immediate payments. Aside from a batch of bills for professional services, on which he could not collect a penny. John Doctor’s assets were meagre—$400 cash in the bank, one $100 Liberty bond, a second-hand automobile worth $200, a $300 lot. Total: $1. 000. If ever a man was insolvent, it was John Doctor. Creditors Confer. Next morning he marched down to the Federal Court' and there fil ed with the judge a schedule of his assets and liabilities and a petition asking for a conference with his creditors. The judge granted the petition. At the conference Debtor Doctor told his creditors he would: (1) settle for 33c on the $1; (2) pay in full if given an extension; (3< be thrown into bankruptcy if neither proposal was accepted. The holder of the deficiency judgment, de manding his $1,000, favored bank ruptcy. The grocer was ready for a time extension. But th’e landlord, the friend with the I. O. U. and the towm tradesmen, all needing cash, consented to take one-third oi their debts and call it square. As majority creditors with claims of $1,800 against John Doctor they signed an agreement which the Judge promptly confirmed. Turning over his cash, car. lot and bond. John Doctor was spared the stigma and expense of « bankruptcy suit, 'talked out of the courthouse a debt f Tree man. May Compromise Now. What John Doctor did, "any per son excepting a corporation and excepting a farmer” could do last week as the result of a bill signed by President Hoover day before he left office. An important revision of the Federal Bankruptcy Law. the measure represented a final thrust by a dying Congress at the dragon of private debt. By provid ing machinery whereby an individ ual could compose or compromise j his debts under a judicial eye, it required only a bare majority of! creditors to effect an agreement, j | For debt-ridden farmers a some-' jwhat different procedure was pro vided. Fifteen of them, all insol vent and living in the same county, could petition a Federal judge who in turn would appoint a concilia I tlon commissioner. This official ; would receive the debtors' schedules. ;call in creditors and attempt to work out a compromise which the j court would later confirm. The hitch with a farmer's debts is that lie generally owes only a single cred 1 or, the holder of the mortgage on his farm. If he refuses to dicker, tiie farmer is balked at the outset la producing the kind of majority agreement the court requires be fore discharging the debtor Con ciliation commissioners were pro vided to try to make mortgage hold ers see reason on debt reduction. i Of large national import was a last-minute amendment which per mitted railroads to reorganize with out going through receivership. Un der this emergency provision a tot t 'ring carrier can go Into Federal !court, admit its Insolvency, petition Tor the privilege of reorganization, j The Interstate Commerse commis sion assumes direct charge of the reorganization, thus taking It out Side Quit Hurting, Got Stronger, Well;’ CARDU1 Helped Her Mrs. H.
