Roll Out The Barrel;
The Kids Are Thirsty
Duddah, Minn.—(UP) —A county relief official was upheld by the county welfare board in cutting off $65.50 monthly payments to a family for aid to dependent children.
Spencer Brader, the official, showed the family had run up a $175 charged bill on beer at a local grocery store in the past six months.
In addition, when he complained to them, Brader said the family told him they "didn't want to have anything more to do with the welfare
Besides county relief, the family receives $40.86 monthly for veterans' compensation. The father is a World War I veteran.
Handmade Bullets Hit The Spot
Beeville, Texas—Lanky R. V. Ennis, sheriff of Bee county, makes his own bullets and swears they're better than any store jobs.
Using an electric melting pot, resizing and lubricating apparatus and a shell-loading machine. Ennis can supply all the county officers.
In the past seven years his shell- loading machine has rolled out between 50,000 and 75,000 bullets. Ennis himself expended 15,000 rounds last year, taking one national target meet and winning 42 medals for marksmanship.
'Schools Create Fascists, Pagans'
The average American college campus is creating little Fascists, and the students are leaning more toward paganism than Christianity, Harold A. Ehrensperger, educator and traveler, told an audience of over 200 students Sunday night at the First Methodist church.
Mr. Ehrensperger, recently returned from a tour of colleges in India, stressed Mahatma Ghandi's message to the United States. "Go back to America and tell them that my life is my message," as a guide to Christian living. He pointed out that if Jesus were on earth today, that might well be his message to the peoples of a fear-ridden world.
"Representation without realization: is the way of thinking and mental attitude of college students the country over," he charged.
"The average students today follow their organization head without pausing* to think or question. This could be due to a general feeling of fear that has swept our country or a philosophical attitude of eat, drink, and be merry that many college students have today." he said.
Mr. Ehrenspenger said that in order to save our nation from a future of fear and to save our democratic form of government for our children, we must live our lives in such a way that they would be our messages.

Grasshopper Hunt Ends Successfully
Acoluphides, a specific order of grasshopper which lives in the southwestern United States, was the chief object of a field trip by Prof. Raymond H. Beamer, of the entomology department, his wife, and four graduate students, for eight weeks this summer. The trip took them from Texas to California.
"The trip was a success, we got everything we were looking for, and some others too." Professor Beamer said. "The insects we found will be sorted and classified, and any new ones will be placed in the museum in Snow hall."
The students who took the trip were Herbert Wallace, Ann Mitcheler, Robert Elbel, and Roger Olmstead.

24 Pictures A Minute Can Be Snapped By The New Automatic Portrait Camera
8th and Mass.
Smile, look at the birdie!
That time-worm expression of a portrait cameraman had no place in the picture-taking process every student was exposed to on registration day. Approximately 400 photos per hour for four days would make even a tobacco auctioneer honeur if the phase were repeated for each "take."
Students Slow Process.
Even that amazing number was limited only by the speed of the students going through the line and not by that of the recently purchased automatic portrait camera, explained Mr. Thomas B. Lyle, director of the University's Photographic bureau.

dents to that rate.
To Devon 60,000 Pence
Mr. Lyle is proud of the new camera which resembles those formerly used in x-ray machines. He said it would be possible for the camera to take one picture every 2 and one half seconds if anyway
The tremendous job of developing approximately 60,000 prints which will be necessary is being rushed to meet the activity book distribution deadline of Oct. 6 and possibly might be completed in time for the first home game with Iowa State on Oct. 4.
Mr. Lyle is still occupied taking an occasional picture of a late enrollee or student's wife, although the rate has now fallen from about 400 to 10 pictures per hour. All persons who still haven't had their pictures taken must do so before Saturday noon, he warned.
The Lemon Fair River in Vermont received its name from an Indian massacre. Settlers referred to the massacre as "the lamentable affair", which through constant usage was shortened to Lemon Fair.
