Every once in a while there arrives in the daily cascade of mail to a newspaper an interesting piece of literature, One received here was entitled "The Story of Comics." Scanning its pages, we noticed the names of many funny characters of decades ago and several we had forgotten. Perhaps these will refresh your memory. Dick Outcault's "Yellow "Windsor McCay's "Little Nemo" and ''Dreams of a Rarebit i suit's "Buster Brown," in which the final panel invariably showed Buster with a pillow tied behind him with an impertinent moral printed above; Carl Schultz's "Foxy Grandpa," who always outwitted the two young imps.

KIES. Extension Floriculturist, Ohio State University Q. We have a very pretty shaped Amur River privet hedge on the! side of the house. It was al- i lowed to grow too tall when first 1 planted and j.s, therefore, rather open at the bottom. Jt be 18 incheb shorter but I am afraid to prune it for fear of.

spoiling its bushy shape. Could it be cut back without spoiling its shape? If so, when and how? Mrs. H. E. Wellington.

A. Altho any shrub hedge may be trimmed slightly any time during the growing season, more severe pruning during the summer exposes the inner leaves to the hot sun, which very often scorches them. Very heavy pruning, such as you wish to do, would leave the hedge rather bare and awkard as well as sun-burned. Consequently, it is best to do the heavy pruning during the winter or in the early spring, just so the leaves are not on the plants. Some folks prefer to do this pruning in the spring just before the new growth starts.

Unless your hedge is fairly bushy at the base, it may be better to cut it clear to the ground rather than a foot or so from the ground Word has been received from it is always well to fertilize any Pvt.

Gilford Coldbridge, 42, one of the men named in the complaint filed in federal court yesterday, wa arrested on a train in Omaha, Wednesday night and returned Los Angeles. Henry Eller, 38, the other man, still was sought. Richard B. Hood, local federal bureau of investigation chief, said letters from the two men warned Harrison that he would be "immediately assassinated" unless he released Gros. Despite the threats, Harrison sentenced Grog and his wife, Mrs.

Frances Gros, on June 10, after a three-day trial without a jury. Gros had been charged with conspiracy to send "vital information" to Germany in letters. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while Mrs. Gros was given an 18-month Hood did not reveal the exact contents of the alleged letters Harrison by Goldbridge and Eller, nor did he say what connection, if any. existed between Gros and the two former convicts.

I have a fringe tree, about 8 or 10 feet tall, which I want to transplant. Can it be transplanted now or shall we wait until early fall? It will take about one hour from the time it is dug until we get to the place where it is to be planted. "Will it be necessary to ball or burlap it in that length of time? G. W. Bellevue, Ky.

A. If by the fringe tree you mean white fringe, or Chionan- thus, you will find that they are not particularly easy to transplant. Even when planting small trees, three or four feet high, from the nursery, they usually take two or three years before recovering and starting to grow. Inasmuch as they are sparse rooted, I am afraid you would have a difficult time moving one the size of yours. It would have to be moved when it was not in leaf.

There would have to be a ball of earth at least three feet in diameter and, of course, to keep this ball in place, it will have to be wrapped in burlap. I am afraid I cannot encourage you to attempt it unless it were done by a professional tree mover. I think you would find that even one of. these men would hesitate to guarantee the results. If by the fringe tree you refer to the plant that some people incorrectly call the purple fringe, what we call the smoke bush, you are still not much better off.

The smoke bush, which, by the way. is one of the sumacs, grows so relatively fast from small ones that I believe it would be much better to Public Sales advertised In The Tribune Want Ads always pay big dividends. plant a new one. three or four feet high, and let it grow. Q.

What can you tell me about the house plant that folks call the California fuchsia? G. Tiffin. A. Altho that name is a popular one that has no standing, the plant that it is applied to is very interesting and satisfactory. You will find it in an occasional seed and plant catalogue under the name of Achimenes.

There are little roots that are dormant during the winter being stored in the pots in the cellar. They are brot up and watered in late spring and put out of doors when warm weather comes.

The rector of Trinity church, the Rev. Milton S. Kanaga, will conduct the services, assisted by the choir of Trinity. St. Mark's parish was formally organized in 1822 by the Rt.

Rev. Philander Chase, first Episcopal bishop of Ohio. In 1825 the churchyard was deeded to the parish by Moses Thompson, the second pioneer to settle in Mill Creek township, and the men of the community built there a church of hewn logs. All work and materials were RESCUED SEAMAN TO VISIT MOTHER HERE (Continued from Page One) food supplies and water. His courage renewed, Mr.

Robinson remained on the raft for five more days before a Dutch freighter came to his rescue. He was taken to Durban, South Africa, and placed in a hospital to recover from exposure. Last Saturday Mrs. Robinson received a letter from the captain of the Dutch rescue ship. It read: "I have good news for you, so don't get frightened by this unknown handwriting.

"I left your son in Durban about a month ago. He is all right and most likely will meet you again shortly. "Owing to war conditions this is all I can tell you." Mrs. Robinson was notified last July 17 by the coast guard that her son was missing in the South Atlantic. Despite this sorrowful news the local woman had clung desperately to hopes that her son would be found.

Then last Aug. 10, a news dispatch disclosed Mr. Robinson's rescue. Needless to say, it will be a joyous homecoming when the rescued seaman arrives at his mother's home on North Second tomorrow. donated and no funds were raised.

For years the services were conducted by members of the faculty of Kenyon college, a Sunday school flourished, and in 1859 over $800 was raised by popular subscription and the present church was built. That church remains today practically unchanged in the building or furnishings. Among objects of special interest are the old Bible and service books nearly a century old, the quaint little books of a Sunday school library used in 1860, copies of "Discourses on the Martyrdom of the President," paying tribute to Abraham Lincoln, while in the cemetery just across the highway are tombs dating back to 1818, many with unusual epitaphs. The church is on the cemetery road connecting Little Mill creek and Big Mill creek, it is reached by following Route 643- to just beyond the Appalachian Continental Divide signs, then turning left at the Knob Hill church signpost. Many ancestors of people now living in Coshocton county are buried there and at one time were members of this hostoric church.

No regular services have been held in the church in more than 20 years, and the last member of the congregation is said to have died in 1917. A Funeral Home AMBULANCE PH. 40 I pie color.

TIRE Rear 618 MAIN PHONE 50 Second Suit Filed By Edith Nichols in Sarah Wood Estate The iecond suit involving settlement of the Sarah M. Wood estate was filed today in common pleas court. The latest action was brot by Edith B. Nichols against W. H.

Compton, administrator. Mrs. petition seeks judgement of $1,320 with six percent interest from March 30, 1940. The plaintiff claims the amount is due for providing a home and caring for her mother, the late Mrs. Wood.

Contending that her mother had repeatedly promised to fully compensate her for her services, Mrs. Nichols charges that she had presented an affidavit, stating Ijer claims, to the administrator but that the bill was rejected. Owing to a previous law suit, the plaintiff states she was unable to present her claim for services to the administrator until last July Mrs. Nichols is represented by the law firm of Pomerene and Burns. A jury in common pleas court last June decreed that Mrs.

Nichols turn over $2,652.50 in cash and $5,000 in bonds to the administrator of the estate. Mrs. Nichols had contended that her mother had given her the cash and bonds. New Rule Forbids Drink Solicitation COLUMBUS, O. An order curbing the "hostess" racket and curtailing the "soliciting" of drinks by bar flies was issued by the Ohio liquor control board today.

The order prohibits any permit holder from allowing an employe or any person to "solicit or in any manner approach a patron for the purchase of drinks." The new regulation is the second firm step taken by the board recently to promote stricter regulation of the liquor business. The first was an order "freezing" the number of permits in the state for the duration of the war. PASSES TESTS Thomas Karr, Coshocton, has passed state civil service tests for the position of examiner in the bureau of unemployment compensation in Columbus. The position for which the tests were given pays from $138 to $183.33 a month. STALINGRAD PERIL INCREASES HOURLY Continued from our oil, our bread and other riches." Red Star reminded the defenders of Stalingrad that in 1918 the city faced a similar peril when the Germans occupied the Don valley and the White Russian forces held the Ural mountains.

On that occasion, Red Star noted, Josef Stalin rushed down from Moscow, reorganized Stalingrad's defenses and ordered the commanders "to proceed and no longer retreat one step." "Better to die than to retreat," was Stalin's order on that occasion, Red Star stated. "In view of the strategic and economic importance of Stalingrad as well as the historic association of the city with Stalin, Red Star called on the defenders to "strain every nerve to exterminate the Germans on the approaches to Stalin's own city." HUSBAND SUES Joe Crater today filed a divorce action in common pleas court against Clara Crater, charging gross neglect. The husband seeks custody of four minor children and possession of household goods. His petition states the couple was married June 16, 1924, in Coshocton. The plaintiff is represented by Atty.
