IS MADE PARTNER
WEsTERNER SHOWS GRATITUDE
T OMAN VIII. SAVED HIM
FROM DROWNING.
Well Known Travelling Man Becomes
Partner in shlpbuiIaing Concern on
Pacific Coast-Both Men Were In
United States Navy.

AS result of the gratitude felt
by the man whose life he saved while
both were shipmates on the U. s. S.
Boston, well known travelling man
is to be made partner in a large
shipbuilding concern on the Pacific
coast.
That the commercialism of this age
has not yet crowded out all the finer
instincts Of the human race and that
gratitude still lives in the hearts Of
men is amply proven by the story of
Paul E. Lattner a travelling salesman
who was registered at the Bailingall
hotel. yesterday. Mr.. Lattner, whose
headquarters are in Davenport is we'll
known In this city, having made" OF
tumwa almost weekly for the past
| year or. so in the interests Of a Daven-
port firm
A few years ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Lattner to a repre-
sentative of the Courier, (it is only
| fair to Mr.. Lattner to state that he
did not know that he was talking for
publication), while he was in the navy
an incident occurred that is to have a
great effect upon his future life. At
that time he was a hospital steward
on the U. S. S. Boston
Fell Into Sea.
| One day a shipmate, L. Barclay, fell
overheard and in falling struck his
head upon spar projecting out from
the boat, so that he was dazed when
he struck the water and although an
expert swimmer was in great danger
of being drowned.
| Mr.. Lattner, who saw him fall, with
out moments hesitation, jumped in
to the sea and without much difficulty
rescued the drowning man In speak
| ing of this occasion, Mr.. Lattner, mod
estly says that 1t was, as far as he
was concerned, a very unexciting
event as there was practically no da1-
ger in it for him he being an excellent
swimmer. But to the drowning man
his deed was all that stood between
life and death.
Barclay has never forgotten his pre-
server nor have his relatives ard as a
result of this gratitude Mr.. Lattner
soon leaves the road and will go into
the ship building business with Bar
clay in San Francisco, Cal Tie con
Germ is to be a large one and Lattnsr
will control one-third interest in the
plant, his sole capital being the graf
itude of Barclays relatives who are
quite wealthy
Mr. Lattner will be missed when he
leaves this territory as there are few
men on the read better known or bet.

BIG MONEY IN IOWA MELONS.
Acre and Half Of Land Brings Re
turn of $500 in One Season.

Des Moines, Sept. 2S.-Thee hun.
dred dollars from melons in one year
off an acre and half Of land is the
record made this season by ]. "
| Hotchkiss, who resides north of Web
ster City.
Mr.. Hotchkiss planted this little
patch to watermelons and cantaloupes
There is an acre and half in canta
loupes and quarter of an acre of wa
termelons. The latter, however, have
not done very we'll and even the form
er are not doing as well as their own
er believes he. could do with more
| favorable season.
There is said to be knack about
raising melons and Mr.. Hotchkiss is
a man who thoroughly has the knacn
He has been raising them for more
than twenty years and understands
their culture from A to q. All the
land that he farms is his little patch
of melons but this keeps him busy
He has a small garden patch besides
but his melon crop is really his whole
crop.
This year the early melons were
spoiled by the few weeks of drought
that came just at the wrong time Of
the year for the melons. His late
crop however, is doing nicely.
Mr. Hotchkiss has raised watermel
ons that weighed 100 pounds, but fol
real flavor and worth he prefers the
smaller watermelons and cantaloupes
His patch is the finest in this part Of
the state, and is a curiosity to see. He
believes that with the weather in {
normal condition during the whole O
the spring and summer, he could in
crease his yield to about $500 from
this one acre and half patch.
