SOME SOUTHERN ILLINOIS CHURCHES LAUNCH UNIQUE PLAN FOR RAISING MONEY Benton, Drives started by various church denominations prior to the recent government orders against the hoarding of gold, has no direct bearing on the financial situation, but conforms nicely to the drive of the government for the return of jold to the national vaults. Congregations ot Baptists, Christians and Methodists are reported gathering old articles of gold to turn them over to the church or- ganiEatlans, which has arranged with a crucible company in the east to extract all the gold sent in and to take a per cent of the precious metal thus secured for its share and to turn over the balance to the church organizations. The company extracting the gold will sell same to the government and then divide the balance.

0 to the extracting company, and to be returned to the organizations. It Is called "the melting pot collection." The Baptists promise that the share returned from the crucible company will be given to missions, half to the state organization contributing, and the other half to the "south-wide" mission efforts. Pastors and others are urging members to gather up old watchcases, rings, brooches, pins and other articles containing some gold, and to send them in to the state organizations officials by way of their treasurers.

(Associated Prett Photo) Springfield, March Corn acreage In Illinois will be decreased 8 per cent and soybean acreage increased 25 per cent if later planting conditions enable farmers to carry out their reported intentions of March 1, a report on a joint survey by the Illinois and federal departments of agriculture said today. "This survey." the report said, "indicates a decrease of about 4 per cent in the total acreage of field crops for this season. Tills decrease Is largely due to a reduction of 8 per cent in corn acreage, and to decreases of 3 per cent for oats, 1 per cent for spring wheat and 2 per cent for tame hay. Corn usually makes up about 50 per cent of the total crop acreage. Increases of 25 per cent are indicate for soybeans, 2 per cent for barley and 2 per cent for potatoes.

There was a slight increase in the acreage sown to winter wheat in Illinois last fall compared with the acreage sown in the fall of 1931. Indications are for an increase In the acreage of plowland pasture. "The object of this report is to give Illinois farmers a general indi- i cation of the early crop acreage in- centions of farmers in this and other states. The report giving crop acre- ages actually planted will-be issued early in July, S. acreage intentions on March 1st indicated decreases in corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.

These decreases are expected to be partially offset by increases in tobacco, hay, grain sorghums, and soybeans, but the total acreage in principal crops other than cotton seems likely to fall below last year's total by about 3 per cent," Madison, Mar. of an underground gasoline tank Unused for at least seven years Saturday afternoon tossed a 15-year- old Madison boy, Loren Cockrell, at least. 12 feet in the air but miraculously left him with only first degree bums on his face and hands and a bad shaking up as the result of his experience. The explosion occurred in front of the Bluteau market at the corner of Monroe, and Grant streets, The blast, set off by a spark from a match, ripped up an area of 60 square feet of 10-Inch concrete sidewalk and tossed the heavy gasoline pump about 20 feet away, over a cross walk. Paradoxically, the blast which was heard for blocks failed to damage the large plate glass windows in the Bluteau store six feet away.

Gasoline fumes in the tank were ignited through the open intake pipe of the tank when Robert Ela threw a match on the sidewalk to make it crack, Loren said. The boys had just come out of the store and were walking across Grant street, cracking matches as they went, Loren said. Loren was standing close to the pump when a spark from a match apparently went into the intake pipe, and the explosion followed. The fumes had hung in the gasoline tank since the station was closed years ago, and the open cap on the intake pipe permitted its ignition. GRASSHOPPERS TO BE CLASSED AS FISH BAIT Minneapolis, Mar.

will return to the fishing bait classification in Minnesota this year instead of rating as the largest consumers of grain, State Entomologist A. G. Ruggles predicted today. Soil sent to Rugglcs' office from the Red River Valley, where grasshoppers have ruined hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of crops the past two years, show that the Insect eggs are present in greatly reduced numbers. Ruggles said that surplus sums left from state appropriations of the past two yenrs will undoubtedly be more than sufficient to eliminate any signs of an outbreak.

Poisori bran'bait, used the last, two years killed millions of the insects, Ruggles said.

Captain Lewis preached on "civic righteousness" at headquarters, Madam Secretary SHOWS GENIUS OCCURS IN TWO OR MORE GENERATIONS A study of books dealing with the subject of genius and heredity such as Ribot's "Heredity" will show numerous cases of genius occurring In two or more generations.

Doctor Saleeby in his "Parenthood and Race Culture" says: "It is impossible to question that the hereditary transmission of genius or great talent does occur" and he quotes the Bach family, the Arnolds, the Mills and other examples. Dr. Paul Kammerer in his "The Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics" states: "Genius can be acquired, but hardly by one Individual and within the course of one generation, And genius is hereditary, though probably not without the contributory co-operation of the environment. It is necessary that favorable conditions of heritage and environment meet, in order to make possible the great achievements in which genius manifests itself to our eyes. The necessity of such a combination explains the rarity of recognized genius, and also the fact that many more unrecognized geniuses than we dream of tread the soil of our planet." Doctor Kemmerer mentions five of the important obstacles to the inheritance of genius and adds that with the obstacles removed, the law of inheritance will once more assert itself.

There is no basis for the belief that it is dangerous to sleep in the moonlight for fear it will affect the mind and sight. LUCILLE LUTZ, ROBERT BREW, PLAY LEADS IN OPEfiiTTA, "THE PIRATiSOF PEN2ANCE" With the east practicing dally oh the operetta "Pirates of Penzance" as the production is being prepared for the presentation on April 7, a brief sketch of the characters, two each week, will be presented. fhe two leads in the operetta are taken by Lucille Lutz and Robert Brew, playing the parts of Mabel and Frederick, respectively. Frederick is apprenticed to the pirates as the result of a mistake of his nursemaid, Ruth, and the story of the operetta begins as his twenty- first birthday Is being celebrated. It is at; that time that he is to be released from service with the pirates.

He leaves them, only to organize a band which Is to hunt them down. When the pirates hear of this they search the contract, only to find that he was born on leap year, that he has had, therefore, only five birthdays and is bound to them for the rest of the time. As a slave of duty he is required to leave Mabel, his sweetheart, and return to the pirates. What happened to Frederick and how he solved the difficult choice between love and duty will be told April 7 as the operetta is sung. Robert Brew, who plays the part of Frederick, has wide musical experience.

He took part in "Martha." "The Firefly" and now as the lead in "Pirates of Penzance." He was a member of the quartet that attended the National Chorus, where he won first place in the tenor section. Mabel, the sweetheart of Frederic is the daughter of General Stanley who falls in love with Frederick. The feeling is mutual and the affair progresses nicely until it is discovered that Frederick will have to go back and finish out his term with the piartes. She of course is heartbroken. In the resulting scene hd explains to her his feeling of duty which of course increases her respect for him and she expresses herself willing to wait.

To find out whether she has to wait the sixty-four years or you'll attend the "Pirates of Penzance." Lucille Lutz, who takes the part of Mabel, has a fine soprano voice, which is by no means unfamiliar to Freeport audiences. She has taken party in "The Firefly" and Martha' 1 She was a member of the quartet that, attended the National Chorus, winning sixth place in the chorus there. PORK SAUSAGES PREPARED FOR MARKET IN VARIOUS STYLES (BY DOROTHY KOLLOTH) There are pork sausages and pork not all have the sweet full flavor of fresh pork. Some have little pork in them, while others are far too strong in favor. So we must be very critical when buying sausages.

Zealous care and constant control is maintained by the well-known manufacturers when they make sausages. In their splendid kitchens modern machines grind choice cuts of meat, a cook adds the blend of the finest seasonings. There are many ways in which sausages are packed. Some are put up in links in the pound and half- pound boxes or in transparent sheeting packages. Some are also packed in air-tight cans.

Then there are the packages of meat rolled in one and two-pound cloth bags. This last is the cheapest and the pork is of the same quality as that in the cans and other packages. The sausage family is of endless variety. ELECTRIC SERVICE OFF? YES!

ANCIENT PRINTING PRESS STILL "SPREADING LIGHT" On the top floor of a house In of the Island of Ma- jodca, off the coast of house of Ouasp, which calls itself the oldest publishing house in the world, Is printing books on the same sturdy press that the founder used 353 years ago.

Built of solid timbers bolted together, the clumsy Ouasp machine can still produce excellent impressions. The excellence of the reproduction, however, depends considerably upon the strength of the man who operates the press. After bracing his feet strongly against Its side, he hauls the lever with all his strength and a heavy block creaks slowly down to cover the type. Beginning with the days when wooden type and wood cuts were used, ten generations of printers in the Guasp family have seen the printing industry develop Into the speedy process It is today, accelerated by typesetting machines and rotary presses. For, since its founding, the firm has always been headed by a member of the Guasp family in the direct male line.

In 1579, when Gabriel Guasp branched out from the bookselling to the publishing business, Spain proudly dominated the world. Religious fervor 'was sweeping all Spain; hence the first books published by the press were on theological York Times.

TOUCH OF HARDSHIP MAY AID ONE'S SELF-RESPECT Every facility, invention and project seems to be bent on making people more "comfortable." Don't we know that we can be so "comfortable" that we will be good for nothing? Hadn't we better pursue hardship a little for its own sake, F.

H. Collier asks, In the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. We say this, but we hate to begin. That in itself shows, no doubt, that our moral courage has declined.

There is no better philosophy than that of "doing one good deed every day" for the welfare of our fellow man. May it not be equally uplifting of the soul to do one good deed that we are afraid or indisposed to do? Most "duties" are like that. But, resolutely performed, there is a sense of triumph that is a worthy reward. That much more iron has been put, into one's character. Here we are, talking like Samuel Smiles whom, as we remember in our boyhood reading, we detested.

We fear there was always sybaritic rudiments in our makeup. While we might daily seek to perform deeds of the nature described in Longfellow's "Excelsior," we were fortunate if we could tot up one or two a month. Nevertheless, the principle is indestructible. FEW RECOGNIZED BEAUTY OF GETTYSBURG ADDRESS When the speakers were being chosen to make addresses at Gettysburg in 1863, President Lincoln was an then a dubious chairman begged him to make his speech as short as possible! It is generally believed that Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg address on a piece of brown paper, on the way to Gettysburg. But this is not true, according to the Golden Book.

Magazine. Two days before the dedication at Gettysburg, President. Lincoln had the speech almost all written, and in his hat (where he usually 'kept valuable papers). "The silence during the delivery of the speech, and the lack of hearty demonstration at Its close," said Ward Hill Lamon, describing the event, "were taken by Mr. Lin- coin as certain proof that it had not been well received.

In that opinion we all shared. "Mr. Lincoln said to me: 'Lamon. that speech won't scour! It's a flat failure and the people are It occurred to only a few who heard it that it was an immortal address. 1579 BIBLE WINS "OLDEST BIBLE" CONTEST Tulare.
