9. The contention of modern psychol- respondence and class work under the university during the past year, according to the director of the extension division, usually showed greater achievement in their studies than campus students who Wftre enrolled in the division. This superior showing, the director attributes, however, quite as much to the older student's more serious and practical purpose as to his aptitude. Learning goes faster, in his opinion, when thera is need of immediate application of tne material learned. LEGION WILL STAGE PARTY NEXT WEEK Most of the Business Houses Arrange to Be Open Wednesday Night.

Christmas Hub checks are now ready at the Tipton banks and it is estimated over $20,000 will be taken out by the fortunate depositors who were foresighted enough to provide money for their Christmas budget last winter and this past summer and fall. Thousands of dollars will spent in this city within the next few days. With this additional rash in circulation and with the railroad pay checks already cashed. business here should gi-t into the full Xmas swing. Many df tli" local merchants, it is announced, will keep their stores open Wednesday evening of this: week.

This is to give early Christmas shoppers the advantage of shopping in the evening and since many Christmas club members will have their checks, this will give them the opportunity to use their money. With the railroaders just being paid, it was the opinion of many merchants that opening Wednesday evening would be beneficial to all concerned. The merchants have their new Christmas merchandise on display and early selection is desirable and will be followed by thp wise buyer. Next week the Christmas rush should be started in earnest and from then on until late Christmas eve there should bo a most pleasing increase in business.

Mrs. Manlove was transacting some business at the bank and caught her heel under an extension wire, used in the lighting features at the window and she was thrown heavily to the tile floor, her left arm being broken above the wrist, and her hip badly -bruised. Her face also struck some projection and it is badly swollen and bruised. Manlove was still confined to her hed Tuesday and was a great deal from her hurts.

Funeral of Smith. Funeral services for Elizabeth Smith, widow of Marshall Smith were held at the Hopewell Methodist church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock and attended by many friends of this splendid woman. Rev. Sylvester Blllhymer of Hagerstown had charge of the service, assisted by Rev. D.

John C. White of Tipton. Has Very Sore Throat. Mrs. Elbert Mitchell, bookkeeper at the Tipton Finance Company is confined to her home on South East street with an attack of tonsllitis and has very sore throat.

Mrs. Mitchell was taken 111 Saturday night Sunday; had a. temperature of 102. She was reported as still quite sick Tuesday 'morning. on a charge of stealing a pair of shoes from the lobby office at the Diana theater entered a plea guilty to the charge before Judge Mount in Circuit Court and has I been given a sentence of one to five years at the Indiana Reformatory.

Moody acknowledged taking the shoes which were the property of Nick Paikos and on account of his previous record the seutence was given him by Judge Mount and he was remanded to the custody of Sheriff Devault. The sheriff will not deliver the young man to the institution at Pendleton for a few days as he has.several other matters requiring his attention. In sentencing the youth, who a few months ago was united in marriage, Judge Mount stated that had this been his first offense he would have in all probability suspended the sentence, hut Moody has given the officers considerable trouble on previous occasions. Tuesday morning Judge Mount heard the evidence on the application of James C. Goar for the reduction of an order made in 1923 when Goar and his previous wife, Mrs.

Jessie Hoffman were divorced. Both have since remarried. At the time of the divorce the defendant was ordered to pay $25 per month for the support of two children, but the evidence shows that since that time, his wages have been reduced on account of the curtailment of trains on the Nickel Plate where he is employed in engine service. The childfen-no are 17 and 15 years of age and the wife (Continued on Page 2). The Legion's annual benefit card party and dance will be held next week in the armory.

This is a big public affair and all the money derived from admissions will be used in the purchase of toys and candies for the deserving children of Tipton. Every expense in connection with the event will be donated so that it is assured every penny taken in at the door will be used in making Tipton children happy during the Christmas holidays. The date for this party has not been set definitely. The small charge of 25cts will be enough to provide a fund sufficient to make the necessary pur-chases, it is believed. The Legion this year will have the benefit of many toys which have been repaired by the Tipton firemen.

Hugh Carter, general chairman for the Legion's charity says that the firemen will turn over their donations, to the Legion for distribution. There is also a fund of S15 remaining from the party last year. It is believed more children than ever before will need to be' remembered by the organization and for this reason, the Legion committee wishes all the support possible in the event next week. Prizes for the card games will be furnished by local Charles Biltz be in charge of the party and during the evening he will give away an Ottoman which has been donated by the Tipton Furniture Co. George Cline of the Legion is in charge of the work of securing the names of deserving children who will be remembered Russell Davis will look after the distribution of the gifts the day before 1 Christmas.

The week after the benefit party, the Legion will stage two more parties, both at the Armory. One will be for all the boys of Tipton and the other one will be for all the girls. Santa Claus will be present and there will be several adults present to organize games and contests. It is planned to make these affairs real enjoyment for the kiddies.

It certainly does not account for the rumors of ten days ago about murder, massacre and revolution in the Soviet capital, which the Kolnische Zeitung, staid organ of Rhineland business now says it believes were Inspired by emigre -and other, anti-soviet sources abroad, as a "counter barrage" to the treason trial.

It was relayed on short waves and broadcast from WEAF and a nation-wide network between 1:30 and 2 of- clock In "the; afternoon. i The broadcast began from the deck of the 0-4, where Lieutenant S.
