EVER hear of Windy City? Not a very large town; but : the name does have a scund.


A littie community. some 40 .miles southwest of Springfield on federal highway No. 65, decided a postoffice was needed. and a mer - chant took the matter up with the postoffice department in Washington. He was told to re- votumend a satisfactory name for the place, and the office would be established.


The merchant decided bo name was too, ble' for "the; settlemdet to be suggested Chicago. An as- sistant postmaster, maperl . r .- plied that the: mo"of the:annie? Chicago by a community. 'other, than that "on' Lake Michigan Would lead to" confusion" in ' the handling of mali and said another name should be submitted. .


"Very well." said the merchant, "if we can't have Chicago's name we'll have its nickname."". . He therefore: - recommended Windy City and the name was necepled.

Marshfield and Webster county were named in honor of Daniel Webster, necording to 1. F. King. of Nlangua, Mo., who has ra- sted in the county for 87 years. After the county had been christened In honor of the great scholar. the county ment was numed Marshfield. Webster's home town in the New England !....

There are many who claim to have been the first settlers of Webster county, according to Mr. hing. It is known, however, Mr. King sald, that this honor goes to the famillex of John Wattg. who settled near Fordiund. and Samuel Intumer and a Mr. Mul- *lead. who settled on the Hamil- ton farmi six mlles cust of Nlan- Kua.

Informal Glimpses and Sidelights on Prominent Springfieldians.


FllOM keeping criminal records to tracking criminals Is perhaps a longer step than you may think. but be made it just the same. .. "He" is Cari W. Wingo. former clerk of the crim- i Inal court, and now deputy state


game and fish commissioner for ! this district.


WIngo W .. elected clerk ot ] the criminal court four years


fermi. Ito couldn't i #Nk second term, as has been Wingo customary m Greene county. for the very simple reason that his office was nholished at the close . of the first perlod of service.


-


Missouri family, Wingo comes tropo the Fair Grove contawany.',Heth been active in 'republican council almost from i Infancy, and was deputy recorder of deads before his election as' a court olerk."


"Open spaoss T" Spre I like 'm". remarked Wingo, after battling a Ford steering wheel along muddy roads that have held the majority In this section recently. He had Just' completed a roundup to see whether fur dealers had moved out their stocks on February 10, the required time, and some of his trina were over ronds that lacked much of being "pearly paths of pesce."


But this open space stuff is no diversiun for Wingo. It's a maller of business, strictly business, to be out on the search for hunters without the required House, fish- ermen who enat dynamite Instead of flles, and dealers who buy furs without obtaining the legal ap- proval of the state fish and gama department.


Bowling Is His Hobby


"Do I have a hobby?" he repeated the question "Sure." when 1 get a chance to practico it." And what's your guess as to what that hobby is? Ever pley lenjin»" That's It. If Wingo can Ket time off. there's nothing multa him better than to hit the trull for the bowling alleys Ip the Shrine mosque, yank off hla coat, roll up hly sleeves and start the spheres along the one-nrm falrways.


Inchlentally, Wingo Is married. He and Mra. Wingo reylde at 743 East Normal street, and have four children, two boys and two girls.

Mr. Latimer settled four miles west of Niangua and Ja sald to have given the name of Nlangua to the town.
