HARD JOLT FOR|
FIRE ALARM
TRUST

The Gamewell fire alarm trust
got hard jolt in Tacoma yes
terday afternoon when a public
test was made at the central en-
CINE house in this city of the new
alarm service installed by the
Star Electric people.
Delegations of councilmen and
fire officials from Aberdeen, Seat
tie and Portland were present to
witness the test. The Gamewell
people have asserted that the
Star appliances would not work
when used in conjunction with
the Gamewell apparatus. The
test showed conclusively that the
Star boxes are all right and work
just as we'll as the Gamewell.
This will serve to break the
monopoly of the Gamewell peo-
pie who have had the public by
the throat for years on signal
systems.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

So, as love will do all things,
Mrs. Long is doing that which
seems to be impossible. But that
does not mean that hers has not
been a life of trials. Poverty has
'pinched her hard for many years.
She has trials as a mother, and
they are the trials of the home.
And then she has social trials, for
she is the wife of minister. Yet
she and her husband and all the
nine children are happy. You can
see that as soon as you enter the
little parlor of the five-room house

LOST ON DESERT,
EATS LIZARDS To
KEEP ALIVE

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. g.
Exhausted, his feet and hands
torn by cactis and sharp rocks and
his mind still showing the terri
ble strain of four days on the
California-Nevada desert without
food or water, Albert Bahia, a
former Los Angeles druggist. is
recuperating today at Lee, CAL,
near the Nevada line.
Bahia laft San Francisco,
where he has a wife and child,
several weeks ago. In company
with his partner, Jack Lampslade
he left Iceland, New, October 20,
intending to follow the Lee con-
solidated trail to the Echo Lee
mining district.
Water Supply Gave Out.
The small supply of water the
men carried soon became exhaust
ed and within a week Bahia was
In a delirious condition. Lamp
slade then left his friend, and,
alone, managed to make his way
to Lee, Cal. A searching party
under the leadership of Hughey
Leonard, noted desert scout, was
dispatched to take up Balha's
trail.
Leonard today told the story
of the rescue of the wanderer, and
their return to this camp.
Found Him Demented.
When we found Bahia" he
said, he was crawling about on his
hands and knees and trying to
catch a little green lizard no Dig
ger than cigarette. He was
laughing to himself and talking to
the lizard.
"At last we were able take
his attention away from the rep
tile. When he saw us he laugh
ed; 1t was the most awful sound
! ever expect to hear. The poor
fellows hands were torn by the
cacti he had tried to break In
order to get at the watery juice.
He told us he had been eating
lizards. He was actually crazy"

Little Donald, who never had

a life indoors, away from all the

The rent of the Long home is
$3.50 a month. Their landlord
is a rich lumberman of Bridge
port, and the five-room parsonage
is adequate for the needs of the
family.
Gas is their fuel, for the gas
fields are near and the fuel bill
is small.

The last week of May saw the close
of an epoch in the history OF the
medical world. Four hundred thou
sand bottles of Rheumaline were sold
throughout the country, Never be-
fore since man first allied has so much
of a single preparation been sold in

maline is now recognized as the most
effective cure known for rheumatism,

son is that Rheumaline is the only

Three Instructors Visit Sduk Centre
and Talk About Things
on The Farm

w. W.sP. Mcconnell of Mankato.
A. Brackett of Excelsior and Miss A.
L. Bull Of the State Agricultural
school conducted farmers institute
here Tuesday at the opera house.
Mr.. Brackett gave talk on fruit
growing, being an expert in that line.
Speaking of strawberries, he said:
when you buy your strawberries,
you never have them as you do when
you raise them. He gave many
valuable suggestions relative to the
culture Of Strawberries and raspber-
ries.
Miss Bull gave a helpful and sensi-
bic talk about sanitation on the farm.
She especially emphasized the impor-
tance of cleanliness in little things,
mentioning dish cloths, mops and
towels. She urged farmers wives to
form clubs and discuss these ques-
tions.
The afternoon session opened with
a question box. Many good sugges-
tions were brought out. Following
this the women retired to the A o. Z.
w. Hall where Miss Bull entertained
and instructed during the rest of the
afternoon.
Mr.. Brackett gave common sense
talk on potatoes and their culture.
He said that any farmer can easily
raise from 200 to 500 bushels per acre.
He told his hearers not to put pota-
toes in the cellar until they are
thoroughly cured in a pile covered
with hay and earth. Mr.. Brackett
gave some excellent advice relative to
choosing seed potatoes.
Mr.. Mcconnell followed with talk
on Chow to Be Prosperous in which
he eulogized the COW as the greatest
money producer on the farm.
Mr.. Brackett offered some practical
suggestions on the raising and cultiya-
ti6h on orchards. He said any Mime
sofa farmer can have all the apples he
wants if he will grow varieties adapt
ed to the climate and the soil
The attendance at the institute was
fair considering the time of year.
