Best Laved Plans Often Fail.
It has been said that "The best
layed plans of mice and men oft gang
a glee." Now just what is that, but'i

located and work started on a test
ing hole bored small which showed
up well and the strata dirt coming
from the hole sampled every two feet
was saved and sent to the expert In
Omaha to be analyzed, which gave
evidence of giving an abundant sup
ply, so the well was sunk, 20 Inches
in diameter and cased with a good
steel casing and when completed to a
point some 45 feet down was thought
to have an abundant supply of water.
Then the crucial test came when a
pump and power was put to literally
test the volume of water which the
hole would supply. ThiB test was to
be continued for 48 consecutive
hours. At times the. flow of water
was as high as twelve gallons per
minute and it ran as low as nine gal
lons, demonstraiton that there was
!nct sufficient water for the needs of
Murray and In order to get the ap
proval of the PYVA the well has to
supply water at the rate of 50 gal
lons per minute for the 4S hour test.
The well has cost many hundreds of
dollars and while it might supply a
home of a small farm for a time. Is
useless for a water system. The ques
tion now is whether to try another
hole or to endeavor to go down
through the rock which has been
struck.

to obtain.

Parr Young was in town last Mon
day morning and reported the con
dition of his mother as being very
poorly. Every care, however, is be
ing given Mrs. Young with the best
of medical care and nursing, but she
is not responding as desired. Mrs.
Young has proven her tenacity to life

pleased with the results. Rex Young

dare speak frankly, even in their
own homes, as-the children might in
advertently repeat what was said to
their comrade which often resulted
in the imprisonment of the heads of

PROFESSOR SAYS AMERI
CANS GET 'DEADPAN' LABEL
CLEVELAND, O. (UP) Conver
sationally, most Americans are "dead
pans" and "masters of the uncom
pleted sentence," believes Dr. Hulert
Greaves, professor of speech at Yale
University.
"Of all English-speaking peoples,
wc probably have the worst articula
tion, and force people to jruess the
meaning of a third of what we say,"
Dr. Greaves said.
'. "Far too many of us never let our
faces light up. We are what is known
as frozen faces, cow faces, dead-pans
and sourpusses. We should let our
faces be radiated by the ideas of the
mind."
The professor speaking on "How
Personality Improves Salesmanship,"
before the Cleveland Advertising club
said that correction of our speech
difficulties involves "careful personal
effort."
"Our schools, which carefully train
us to think and express ourselves
verbablly, have ignored the fact that
also are media of communication,"
he said.
"We slur our vowels, speak in too
low tones of voice and then drop our
vocies to end the sentences.
He added that one of our most com
mon "self-imposed" speech handicaps
is speaking monotonously because wc
use onlv three or four f perch tones,
when we should use an octave.
"Monotonous speech makes it dif
ficult for listeners to differentiate
amonpr the speaker's ideas," 'Dr.
Greaves said.
