GERMANIA BROKE ALL RECORDS
Capt. Won Abercron Landed 1,195
Miles From st. Louis 175 Miles
Northwest of Quebec.

st. Louis, Mo.-Capt. Hugo Won
Abercron and his aid, August Blanck-
ertz in the balloon Germania, have
probably broken the worlds record for
distance ballooning by landing at
Goocoocache, Champlain county, Que
bee Province Canada on Wednesday
morning, 179 miles northwest Of
Quebec. This would bring the dis
lance covered from ST. Louis to about
1,1S5 miles, two miles better than the
worlds record but the distance will
have to be surveyed before any
definite report can be made.
Goocoochache is about 100 miles
from railroad which accounts for the
fact that the aeronauts were not
heard from by telegraph until two and
one-half days after they landed.

KANSAS HAPPENINGS
May Cost Thousands.

Having just expended many thou
sands dollars in the construction of a
drainage canal to carry the water of
Cow creek to the Arkansas river, to
save the city from being flooded each
spring, Hutchinson may now, have
to spend several more thousand dol
lars in digging another canal to carry
the water back from the river to the
creek to prevent disease. The city
sewer mains empty into Cow creek
several miles below the city. Since
the completion of the drainage canal,
and diversion of flood waters from the
creek to the river, Hutchinson has
not had a flood, but the farmers for
miles below the city complain that
the sewage is accommodating in the
creek bed, there being not enough
water to flush the creek. Complaint
was made to the state board of health,
which recently made a thorough in
vestigation. The result Is that Hutch
lnson may be required to put in an.
other cut-off following the course of
an old mill race, several miles above
the city, which will divert water from
the river into the creek channel in or
der to flush it. The city is now d.
Vertlng water from the drainage canal

this will be sufficient to meet the re-

Advice by an energetic, efficient
business man to tired man now GO
ing back to work after a rest spell:
Take things easier and get more
fresh air. No worry. Do the most
important thing first and then the
next. Generally, the things you don't
do aren't worth doing. What you
think you ought to do you want to
do up to the handle and do 1t quick
and then forget It, Don't putter. The
way to get along, in my judgment, is
to work up to the limit for a certain
limited number of hours and then stop.
A man can get further In the long run
walking three and half miles an
hour for eight hours out of each "a
than he can going two miles an hour
for 16 hours in "a. The first way he
can keep going and improve; the last
way he will deteriorate and finally
have to quit"
