€ heavy rainfalls recently have
had a general and widespread harmful

damage to State nursery seedlings,
Thomas C. Buchanan, secretary of
Forests and Waters, said today.
The Clearfield and Greenwood Nur-
series, the latter in Huntingon Coun-

recent heavy precipitation, and only
the efficient drainage systems at both

During recent heavy rainfalls, the

Wills, in reality, are the perpetuation of all property both real and per-
sonal.
They range in wording from elaborate legal phrases to just a scribble,
They reveal the pecularities, the thoughtfulness and the varied mental trends
of the human race. Many odd wills from the point of construction, legal tech-
nicalities and scope of human emotions have been entered in probate.
The
case of Mr. A. BE, Jones, in 1917, affords a striking example.
Mr. Jones, a prosperous grocer, was
a man of good health and a very busy
one. On several occasions his wife, in
a gentle way, asked if he had made a
will, to which the reply always was
‘‘there is plenty of time yet to attend
to that.” It was after one of these
conversations that Mr, Jones tore a
paper bag in half and wrote some-
thing on it, and then placed it on a
hook for papers such as is usually
found in most grocery stores. About
three months later, Mr. Jones, while
crossing the street was struck by an
automobile and instantly killed. After
the funeral there was a search made
through his personal effects for a will.
None could be found. To complicate
matters, a brother of Mr Jones, who
previously had not been on friendly
terms, stepped into the situation and
asserted a claim to the estate. The
widow was driven to distraction. Un-
der the circumstances she would lose
half of the estate which she and her
late husband had denied themselves to
Jgather together.” Finally, in despera-

How do the voters of Dallas and vicinity feel about the Ad-
ministration. Will they support it in the election next
year or will they oppose it? Who would they like to have
as the Republican nominee? All these questions, The Dal-
las Post will try to answer by its Straw Vote, which begins
today. Two years ago more than 2,000 persons from ali
parts of the country voted in a Post poll which predicted
the Roosevelt victory almost to the last decimal point. Now
The Post will employ the same means to learn how the vot-
ers feel about the 1936 election. Ballots can be mailed to
The Post or deposited in the ballot box in front of The
Suburban Inn on Main Street, Dallas. Get into the spirit of
the Straw Vote. Mark your ballot today for inclusion in
the first returns in next week’s Post.
