ON FILE
"Place it on file," the salesman said,
"Give it a place in the office book,
Keep good account of the morning trade,
Draw up the papers that all may look;
Place it on file where all may see,
Know you that wield a responsible pen
If all the world reads dishonesty,
What would our customers think of us then.
Great is the labor intrusted to you
Balance the great work, keep it all true.
Place it on file, the act you now do,
Each simple deed hath given its place,
Heed well the life minutes, honor then too,
Feign not the records of life to efface,
Place it on file e'en unto the thought -
Much is the import unspoken words bear,
Be honest to self, let every word caught
Be tokens of good, well chronicled there:
Over your life work good review,
Balance the great work, keep it all true."
(The above poem is one of 4 printed in this volume.)

Made Money Trapping
Buehl and Cleo Davault, the two sons of Claude Davault being 14 and 16 years of age cleared $265.00 in six weeks of trapping this winter and did not miss any school while doing it.

The birth location of his mother is incorrectly shown as Illinois, but that may have been an erroneous belief by him or another person who gave the information. DLB 2023.^2,3

Told Truth; 'Drugs' Just Vitamin Pills

County Attorney Porter Brown has dismissed a felony drug complaint after he learned the defendant had told the truth at his arraignment in magistrate court.

Dace DaVault, 22, who gave his address as Americus, told Judge Elmer Goering in December that the capsules he was accused of selling weren't amphetamines as alleged in the complaint.

Tested in Lab

"They're only vitamin pills," DaVault was quoted as saying.

Brown said the capsules did in fact turn out to be vitamin pills. Results of an analysis at the Kansas Bureau of Investigation laboratory were learned some time after the arraignment.

The county attorney said DaVault had been told by a friend that passing off vitamin pills for drugs was an easy way to make money. The selling price was $1 a capsule, he said.

Sold 200 Capsules

DaVault was arrested in December after he sold 200 capsules to an undercover agent in a pre-arranged location in Hutchinson.

Sheriff's officers waited outside the location and entered on a signal pre-arranged with the undercover agent.

Brown said he decided against filing a fraud charge against DaVault.
