Origin Of “Dixie”
An interesting account of how the
South came to he known as “Dixie”
is given on the authority of Fred
W. Thompson, a Richmond banker,
■who says the term was first applied
to money issued by a New Orleans Ieinor . _
bank before the Civil War, prinei-1 emergencies of the present day. But
How Indiana Is
Saving Three Millions
Chicago, June 5.—How Indiana’s
governmental house-cleaning is sav-
ing the state $3,000,000 this year is
revealed in a signed article in the
June Rotarian Magazine, by Paul V.
McNutt, governor of Indiana and
former commander of the American
Legion Last January, Indiana had
169 boards, bureaus and depart-
ment. Spurred by the depression,
the legislature gave Governor Mc-
Nutt what critics call dictatorial
powers.
One result is that to date, more
than a thousand employees have
been dropped from the state pay
roll. Salaries have been reduced or
equalized. The state highway de-
partment alone, was reduced $51,000
a month. And by combining the
Division of Health with the State
University School of Medicine, ad-
ditional health services were added at
a budget saving of $80,000. In an-
other department, one man now does
the work for which nine men had
been paid to do. In still another,
eleven replace thirty-eight.
“The whole plan,” says the gov-
'ts designed to meet the
Young County
Grand Jurors
Bill Fourteen
Fourteen indictments were re-
turned by the Young county grand
jury before Judge Allan D. Mont-
gomery in the 30th district court at
Graham this week. The criminal
docket for the term has been set
for trial during the week of June 19.
Indictments were returned as fol-
lows: Jim Rowe and Harry Minor,
each billed for robbery with fire-
arms in connection with the holdup
of the Eliasville State Bank April
5 and for theft over $50 in the same
case; Joe Taylor, driving while in-
intoxicated and theft over $50;
Leslie Osborne, burglary and theft
over $50; Stanley Masters, burglary;
two men for second offense burg-
lary; one forgery; and two for trans-
portation of whiskey for sale.—Wich-
ita Times.
TRIPLE G
Clarice Morris was hostess to the j
Triple G Club Tuesday, June 6th. 1
Old business was discussed. A
swimming party for next Tuesday
night in Graham, honoring the
former Triple G members, was
planned.
Jerry Redin will be hostess to the

pally in $10 bills.
These bills, because of the large
French-speaking population of Louis-
iana, were printed in French on one
side and in English on the other. On
the French side the word, “'Dix,”
meaning ten, was quite prominent,
and the Americans got to calling the
bills “dixies.”
From that Louisiana came to be
known as the land of dixies, or
Dixie Land. Then Dan Emmett, a
in the background is the more far-
reaching ideal of injecting efficiency
in the operation of the' state’s busi-
ness.’
Northern minstrel, got hold of the
idea and composed the song, “Dixie”
for a show performing in New York.
The term Dixie soon came to be
applied to the entire Sou’ll.
And there you are—if Mr. Thomp-
son is right.—Wellington Leader.

Origin Of Baseball
While baseball as we know it is
a sport of comparative recent de-
velopment, a game in which a tossed
ball was batted with a rude club
has been traced back to the 14th
century in Europe. The present
American game was probably an
outgrowth of that of “town ball,”
played in New England from about
1830, in which the runs were made
around posts set in the ground, in-
stead of bases.
The first code of baseball rules
was formulated by the Knick-
bocker Club of New York in 1845,
the first match game was played the
following year and the first gate
money series of games took place
at Hoboken in 1858. The develop-

Automobile Accident
Racket Is Costly
The New York Herald Tribune
Magazine recently carried an as-
tonishing article on fake automobile
accidents. According to the article,
these cost the American public di-
rectly some $14,000,000 a year—
and to this must be added such
indirect costs as police efforts to
prevent them, cost of litigation and
the like.
The technique of this particular
“racket of the depression” is simple.
The “victim” stands on a street cor-
ner until a car approaches. Then he
apparently steps into its path and
is knocked down. As a matter of
fact, he is not touched at all. A
doctor who is in on the racket
appears and takes charge of the
“patient.” Severe bruises are found
—in some instances these are pre-
pared beforehand. The driver of the
car is usually in on the racket him-
self, and he admits that he was at
fault. The insurance company set-
tles, and the principals split Hie
proceeds.
In a case which recently success-
fully prosecuted it was shown where
a single crooked doctor had collected
thousands of dollars through a long
series of faked accidents which he
had arranged in collaboration with
a taxi driver and others.—Jefferson
Journal.
It Avas the teacher’s first day in
school after a glorious summer spent
abroad.
Thinking to test her pupil’s alert-
ness she asked. “If the boat in
which I crossed the ocean Avas 75£
feet long and 70 feet wide, and it
took 7 1-2 days to make the cross-
ing, how old am I?”
A silent hush fell upon the class
room until a youngster near the
rear waved his hand.
“You’re forty,” he said.
“Hoav do you figure that?” asked
the teacher.
“Well,” drawled the boy, “my
Ibrother is tAventy and he’s only half
crazy.”

but the Cincinnati 'Red Stockings,

first professional club. It made a
tour in 1869, winning 69 games
without meeting a single defeat. In
1870 it won 29 straight games being
defeated in the 30th by the At-
lantics of Brooklyn.
Gamblers had gotten control of
the game, a cenvention was held in
Louisville in 1876, at which strict
rules to overcome bribery, betting
by players and other abuses were
adopted, and the National League
was formed. There are now more
than 20 professional leagues, of
which the National and the Ameri-
can, originally the western, (formed
by Ban Johnson in 1893) and the
two “big leagues.”
The most significant event in
baseball history was the appoint-
ment of Judge Kenesaw Moutain
Landis as “baseball czar” in 1910.

This amazing, new Super Series Frigidaire is as match-
less in performance as it is in appearance. It holds V\
more food, freezes large quantities of ice and offers a
combination of conveniences never before found in
any one refrigerator.
There’s a roomy frozen storage compartment where
meats, fish, poultry and ice cream may be kept frozen
solidly until used. There are two big Hydrators for
crisping and freshening vegetables — automatic de-
frosting — adjustable shelves — interior light — the
famous Cold Control—ice trays that are released by a
patented device at the touch of a finger.
And how you will appreciate the new style and
beauty of this latest All-Porcelain Frigidaire! All re-
semblance to the old-time ice box has given way to lines
and contours as modern as electric refrigeration itself.
Most important of all, the efficiency of the famous
Frigidaire two-cylinder refrigerating unit has been
stepped up 20%. It*s extra powerful yet uses only a
small amount of current even in the hottest of weather.
The new Super Series Frigidaire is now on display
