Youngstown, 0., Dec. 21—
(UP)—Four perfect hands of
bridge were dealt at a party
given by the Big Ten Club of
Youngstown. The four play-
ers and the three witnesses
all attest that the cards were
shuffled and dealt according
to the regular rules of the
game.
Howard Sutton, Ohio State
University graduate, an en-
gineer of the Penn-Ohio Elec-
tric Co., was so amazed when
he fisaw 13 diamonds in his
hand that he laid down his
cards. Dr. W. J. McCarthy, a
dentist, Sutton’s partner, re-
ceived all the clubs. M. |W.
Jacobs, a shoe merchant, got
all the hearts, while his part-
ner, Paul Dingledy, a gradu-
ate of the University of Il-
linois school of engineering,
picked up all the spades.

lebo, Kan., Dec. 21 (UP) —
American farmers who are
harassed by a mortgage and
are waiting for congress to
act in their behalf, would find
worries over if they combined
the sow, the cow and the hen,
H. A. Dressier, a former Kan-
sas school teacher and now
one of the outstanding far-
mers of the state, believes.
Dressier is the man who
raised and bred the first Kan-
sas cow to pass the 1,000-
pound mark for butter fat
produced in one year.
Twelve years ago he turned
his back on the little school-
house where he had been
teaching and started to farm.
His first move was to purchase
five excellent registered Hol-
stein heifers and a similar
sire bull. He paid on the av-
erage $400 for the heifers and
$300 for the 8-month old bull.
A cash payment of $2,300
and a $10,500 mortgage for
160 acres of land completed
the initial transaction.
“The cows have made it
possible for me to carry a
financial load,” he explained,
“in a period’of deflation.” He
struck a deal with a nearby
candy manufacturer to sell
sweet cream at a 7-cent pre-
mium over regular prices.
Skimmed milk went to his
herd of purebred Duroc hogs
and a flock of White Wyan-
dottes.
The three cornered combin-
ation has lifted the mortg'age,
given the Dresslers a com-
fortable home, provided lux-
uries for his wife, three boys
and one daughter and made
him a state leader in agricul-
tural work. He advises other
1 untested
methods and follow him.
