OLD CUSTOM. If you live in Clinton county and should "break up" with your 

 sweetheart to marry another, her friends will likely hang a dummy, represent- 

 ing you, near her home. Should your former girl-friend marry first, her effigy 

 would be hung near your place. This practice, originating in Gemany, was 

 more common in the county 25 years ago than today, says John Oppitz who 

 sent in the prize picture.
