States. The explorer says that, not withstanding the fact that he was fol- lowed by the shrewdest newspaper men in the world, day after day, and that sums ranging up to several thousands of dollars were offered for clue to his whereabouts. he has never worn a disguise and has never take any un- usual precaution to conceal his iden- tity Part of the time he says his wife has been with him and part of the time his children.
 pr. Cook and his wife are now in Ea rope and the children are now in con vent ir France. Most of the time during his exile Dr. Cook has been in London He says that he has gone about among Americans there with the utmost freedom and at times has registered under his own name, and that only a few have guessed his identity Those who did guess il, Dr. Cook says, were turned away with ease by the remark:
 Why, yes, 1 have been told that be. fore.''
 With the opportunities for thought that his exile has given him (Dr. Cook says he never even had time to sleep more than three or four hours between his arrival at Copenhagen and his disappearance ID New York. He has found growing stronger and stronger the desire to re- turn to his own country, to be under stood by his own people. He realizes bet ter than anyone else the esteem in which he was held.
 Called Great Imposter
 q have been called the greatest liar in the world, the most monumental impostoI in history says pr. Cook. I believe that in every undesirable way stand unique the object of such suspicion and vituper- alton as have been visited upon few men.'
 With the realization Dr. Cook wrote his story and says that to him the honor of discovering the north pole no longer means anything
 The explorer has been working on his story since last August, and says, accord ing to the editor of Hampton's Maga zine, that his sole desire is to make the people of the United States realize Just what he went through during his two and a half years in the Arctic fast ness, and to make them see what pro- cesses of thinking-or lack of thinking it was that led him to the thing which confirmed to the average mind the worst suspicious against him."
 Peary Makes No Comment
 Washington. November sO.-Robert E Peary, commander of the expedition which the National Geographic society recognized as having reached the north pole, declined today to make any com ment on the confession of Dr. Frederick A. Cook after hearing of it. He said;
 q wish the Associated Press would make it as emphatic as possible that I have absolutely nothing to say in connec- tion with the matter I cannot make this too strong"
 When asked whether he would have anything to say after Dr. Cooks article appears, he replied that he did not think he would. sf-s

Dr. Cook Tells Nezv Story
 Of His North Polar Trip
Claimant of Discovery of the North Pole Now Says He Does Not Know Whether He Discovered the Pole Or Not But That He Believed He Did and His Subsequent
 Actions Were Based On That Belief

New York. November 30.-Dr. Fred erick A. Cook, the Brooklyn explorer. in an article which will be published in Hampton's Ma agazine, confesses that he does not know whether he reached the north pole or not. Dr. Cook, who has been in hiding for over year, has informed the editors of the magazine publishing his story that he will re- turn to the United States with his wife and children December 22 in order to spend Christmas here.
 Dr. Cook, in his story, z with the psychology of his adY and says:
 that I did. Perhap< 60 not make a mistake. After IF oo Thought I con fess that do, <-s2ow absolutely whether reaas oaS pole or not. This but l am wi1lh to startle the world if, by NO doing. I can get an oppor- tunity 10 present my case. By my case I soean not my case as a geo. graphical discoverer, but my case as a man. Much as the north poles dis coyery meant to me, the sympathy and confidence of my fellow men mean more.
 'If, after reading my story you say Cook is sincere and honest; half crazed ,y months of isolation and hunger, he believed he reached the pole; he is not a fakir. then l shall be satisfied"
 pr. Cook relates the story of his life and pictures what he calls the overpowering ambition for explora- tion that beset him until 1t finally eliminated in his effort to reach the pole.
 Story of Cooks Life
 Dr. Cook declares that at the time he convinced himself he had discov- cred the pole he was half mad. He spent two years in his quest and dur ing that time endured hunger and pri- vations that, he says, would unbalance any mind.
 The explorer states that it would be impossible for any man to demonstrate beyond reasonable question that he had heen to the north pole. Dr. Cook char acterizes the region as a region of in- sanity, where one cannot believe the evidences garnered by one's own eyes. Dr. Cook declares that he had alwayS looked upon the discovery of the pole as an achievement for his own per sonal satisfaction for the satisfaction of craving and desire that was great CT than any other factor in his life. When he found how tremendous a sen sation his statement that he had at tained the pole had created he said he was overcome with bewilderment. Crisis in His Career Dr. Cook then tells the story of the days in Copenhagen and later in New York and of the crisis in his life that led to his flight frcm New York and his voluntary exile from the United

The Woman Problem.

tRichard Linthicum in the New York
World)
She belonged to many culture clubs,
Both ethical and physical;
In analyzing Browning's stuff
Her point of view was quizzical;
In discussing moral topics
She was always most impressive;
In reforming and uplifting
She was all to the progressive.
Her set was most exclusive
In the very best society.
And her mental conVolutions
Were of infinite variety;
She was strong 70 woman's suffrage
AS a means of civic purity,
And her labors were unceasing
For the good Of all futurity.
But despite of all her ethics
And despite her proud position,
Mr.. Loeb and his inspectors
Put her through an inquisition;
And they took her up for smuggling
Shameful! Horrid! Persecution!
O woman, you are still the greatest
Problem for solution.

Boone, June 20.-After several years
Of suffering and vain effort to dis
cover the seat Of the illness, Mrs. o. H.
Cessna Is now on fair way to perma-
nent recovery. Several surgeons of ma
tional reputation had been consulted.
but aside from rendering temporary
relief no permanent cure was effected.
AS last resort an osteopath physi-
clan was secured and proceeded on the
theory that the trouble could be rub
bed out. Greatly to his surprise a
few days ago he received a scratch In
his hand, which brought more pain to
him than to the patient He had
found the cause. which was a common
needle nthe arm. Ho wit got there
Mrs Cessna does not know She re-
calls an injury to her foot a number
Of years ago which caused her great
suffering for a few weeks.
There have been instances where
needles have penetrated the feet and
have risen to the body and arms and
even to the head. Mrs. Cessna is not
a lady who has a habit of making a pin
cushion Of her mouth and she does not
think she could have swallowed it..
But no matter how 1t got there, it was
found, extracted and the patiert is
greatly improved tn health.

Mason City to Get Another Big Mill,

Mason City. June 20. - President
Harry Trexler, of the Lehigh Portland
Cement Company, a company with a
capital stock of $S,000,O00 and a surplus
of $6,6OO.000, has made the announce
ment that within thirty or forty days
a force of several hundred mon will BE-
at work north of the city erecting a
100000 cement mill with capacity
Of 5000 barrels daily. Mr.. Trexler
himself with F. G. Fiske the chief en-
gineer of all his plants was here last
week and authorized /. w. Keerl to
purchase two pieces Of land telling him
that when they were purchased he
might announce the above gratifying
intelligence to Mason City.
The company had intended to build
a plant long before this but the litiga-
ton of the Mayne land deal deferred
the building of the plant and the pur-
chase of two other pieces Of property
was necessary before the company
would consent to build. These two pur-
chases, the Nelson eighty acres and the
Smith homestead makes the chain
complete and the company now owns
all the land needed for the new indus
try for years to come.
With this purchase the company
will have nearly 700 acres of land
