She was graduated from the Strawberry Point high school, after which she attended the Iowa State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls and Drake Des Moines. She then taught in the Kleinlein rural school, northwest of town, and later, she taught in the Strawberry Point school.

In September of 1898, she was married to Leslie Chase at Strawberry Point. The couple made their home here for several years and Mr. Chase was a "barber.

One of the tenderfoot recruits in a Paratroop squad was told to jump, count ten, pull the cord. If it doesn't open, count ten and pull it again; if it still doesn't open, don't worry, there will be' a Jeep waiting for you and you'll be given immediate attention. The planes went up. The tenderfoot jumped, counted ten, pulled the cord, nothing happened. He counted ten, pulled the cord, still nothing happened.

"Gosh," he thought to himself, as he plunged earthward, "I'll bet there isn't any Jeep there either." Charley Rathgaber was really "doing his stuff" as general chairman of the Methodist Men's dinner last night. Mayor Milt Gunderson was one of the last on hand helping the dish washing squad. This is a good time for a fine old American saying, which goes about as follows: "There is so mucK good in the worst of us and much bad in the best of us, that it" hardly behooves any of us to speak ill of the rest of us." Foreign friends learn with envy that Americans are now allowed to buy only three pairs of shoes a year. They'd like to get one pair. People who have wished Hitler were in hell needn't worry.

"Well, Grandma," he remarked, "after all, you know you're NOT sick. You just have a broken leg!" It Backfired! Over in Kankakee, 111., Fred Carstens wanted to go out, but his wife said no.

He thought of the one trick Jiggs hasn't pulled so far, and phoned the county jail. "There's a woman here whose husband is drunk, and she him arrested," he said. i So the sheriff rushed to the address and carted Carstens off to the hoosegow. There, he offered a $20 bill for bail, saying he would I show up later for trial. But that's not the way the sheriff does things.

Instead, he called the J. and Carstens paid an S8.25 fine--for drunkenness. 36 Million Never in Church It is estimated that 36,000,000 chil- I dren in the United States have never been to church.
