Try and Stop Me by Bennett Cerf humor fragment
A humorous miscellany item notes excavations in Aberdeen revealing a Scottish penny from 1588 and three skeletons on their hands and knees. It references Arthur Lake’s Killers to Africa with a sharp subtitle about animals and hunters. A man at an inn is amused by a talking horse tending the bar as the cow “sells” the place.

PUC Enforces New Phone Powers First Time in Ohio
The Public Utilities Commission invoked the Henderson Act to act against Ohio Central Telephone Co for poor service near Youngstown. The order sets Jan 15 for response and directs PUC engineers to investigate, citing Lake Milton Chamber of Commerce complaints as the trigger for assuming regulatory control. The act allows transferring a territory to a neighboring service if adequate service is not provided. The Lake Milton area has grown from 20 to 900 families, with calls outside Palmyra charged, and local interests favor Ohio Bell Youngstown service.
