Rm-limit, pounds of paper bags had been stored at a eriti. cal point until eventually the weight of the last bag caused disaster. Yet human nature is a wond- erful institution, and as a rule a fellow likes to do his regional rooting on a voluntary basis, as if he had thought up the idea and provided the gimmick and were simply saturated with com- munity or state enthusiasm. Having a badge of devoted fervor wished off on him, via a state auto tag, isn't spontane- ous at all; a guy can hardly claim credit for local pride in any special degree if forced to exhibit a uniform label. Far more understandable is the col- lege boy who keeps a "Siwash College" sticker on his wind- shield long after he graduates (or Hunks out).

Ala., CIGAR”?! TOBACCO reality, James a' cruel and ruth- less killer. We're almost afraid to probe into the true history of Robin Hood, for he has always been one of our heroes! But Jesse James is the man whose life has been phosen for investigation. What mhde htm a callous crook when ne had the ability and opportunity to be a useful citizen? Jesse Woodson James was born in 1847 in Missouri. He came of no bad stock, and there was nothing squalid about his early environment. His father, Robert James, was ordained to the Bap tist ministry, and to faith he ad- ded work, for during the week he cultivated his own farm. It seems to have been from his mother that Jesse inherited a streak of violence, tor she was a woman of great determination. who swept aside all obstacles in the path of her ambition. She was too strong for her husband. who abandoned preaching - and his family - to seek fortune in the newly discovered gold-fields ot California. This was the time of the American Civil War. Frank soon joined the guerillas who were operating for the Confederate Army. Young Jesse tried to go with him, but was sent back to help on the family farm. Tradi. tion has it that a band of North em soldiers raided the farm and thrashed Jesse for his lovalty to the South. But I don't think it needed any stimulus to persuade the lad to make another attempt - this time successful - to take part in the fighting. He was six- teen. A photograph of Jesse, taken at that time, reveals a youth with a smooth, broad forehead, wide-set eyes and small lips pressed into a thin line. There is determination and arrogance in the upward tilt of his head From that year, 1863, emerge two portraits of Jesse James, as different as night from day There is Jesse. the darling of the South. the Robin Hood of the prairies and backwoods. who plundered the rich to help 'i) poor: who paid the mortgage on‘ a widow's farm. then robbed the) wicked creditor of the money he had paid; of the honest country lad who was forced by the rruel circumstances of war to live the life of an outlaw. From him, perhaps. Jesse in- herited a restless disposition and a 1erire for easy wealth. Robert died almost as soon as he reached California: Mrs James married again. Her see. ond husband was a farmer twice her age with a family of his own. One can imagine that Jesse and his elder brother Frank were un- happy in this household There was constant friction - so much friction that the marriage broke up. Jesse was a handsome arro- gant youngster who resented the authority and the family of his steufather. There is Jesse, the dark Kiner.l who robbed banks, held up trains. shot down men in cold blood - because he had delib- erately chosen that way of life His mother's farm was waiting; he could have gone back to it and won a prosperous living from the rich soil. At seventeen he could - Ind did - boast of having killed as many men.

But there were many Southerners who applauded his deeds: any- one who killed a "dam Yankee" was a hero. Jesse's victims were by, no means all "dam Yankees." It was In 1873 that Jesse James planned and carried out his tlrat big train robbery - the flrtrt of many. He had now with him a strpna band of ruthless outlaws A spot near Adair. Iowa. wan chosen for the holdasp. The train was derailed by sleepers tied acres: the track. The fire. man was scalded to death by steam from the damaged engine Jesse made no attempt to rescue the trapped man: with the help of his gqng he looted the tttttil. van and robbed the passenuers. then they all rode away into the wooded country. By now law-abiding citizens throughout the States were uni. ted in the determination to round up the gang. But Jesse had enough friends to ensure sanc- tuary, among them his mother- who Mill doted on him despite his deeds. She had married for the third time. Her husband siis) a _doetor-tarmer, Among those who were hot on Jesse's "all were the operatives of Pinker. ton's famous detective agency. In 1875 they were within an ace of capturing him when a tragedy occurred that did much to swing popular g",','",,!,',',', to wards the outlaw f a time. Two of Pinkerton's men had trailed Jesse to his mother’s house. He refused to surrender: his pursuers knew there would be a gun battle to the death: they did not know how many of his gang might be in the neigh- bourhood. In order to find their quarry they had taken with them a naphtha flare of the type still used on some street stalls With this they hoped to get sum, cient light to silhouette the wanted man. The flare was thrown through a window. Jesse's step-father picked it up with fire-tones and threw it of: the tIre The intense heat causod the flare to explode violently: one of Jesse's stem brothers was fatally injured. and his mother had her right arm blown off. In the contusion Jesse escaped. He was a product of the troubled times in which he lived and the friction that existed be. tween North and South long after the end of the Civil War Many lesser crimes of a similar; nature to his have been enacted,‘ even in this country, after the' two World Wars. _ Shortly afterwards, Jesse shot an old farmer in cold blood on the vaguest suspicion that the man had betrayed him to the detectives. The inevitable end came in 1882. Jesse died violently. not at the hands of the law he had so often outraged, but from a cowardly bullet fired by a new member of his gang as he was dusting a picture in his own house. Whether the shot was fired from fear or from hope of reward is not certain. Jesse James still rides-through legend and story. Mostly now he rides as a hero, but those who have examined his record find him only a ruthless killer. The one redeeming feature is his " tection for his mother, wife and children.
