dog, gaunt with hunger, appeared on
deck. Captain Bergman and his mate
are not superstitious, so they had the
animal cared for by the steward and
then let him roam the deck at will.
It was not until the Rhine was we'll
up the Atlantic coast that it ran into
heavy weather. On Sunday night, No.

mate was caught in a heavy sea and
was thrown to the deck, where he lay
stunned. No n saw him fall-no

bowling to the skipper, and by his
actions led him to send the third Off

Wolth was found and carried to. his
cabin, where it was found that he
had dislocated his left knee and in.

In half the corn fields near here
last fall there were women helping

were women, for the most part, not

saw the necessity of getting the har-

would.
Last summer many women living
on farms near here left their duties
in the household to drive a team and
help the husband put the crop in.
