OWED ID HIS DEATH
 FOR C|NEMATOGRAPH
Budapest Schoolboy Made Sensational Jump
 into Danube

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Budapest dis patches give remarkable instance of the lengths to which cinemato- graph film makers will go in the pur suit of sensational pictures. As re- suit of a deal there a schOolboy Dionys KovaIik. diyed from the Franz Josef bridge into the Danube and was killed. -- a .. -...-.. .-.
 Kovalik went to a cinematog:aph theatre and proposed to make a sen sational leap from the bridge for 1,000 crowns (S2oO). but afterwards accepted a quarter of the amount.
 In order to make the representation more thrilling, Koyalik agrC ed to climb 10 the top of the highest col umn of the chain bridge and induce the fire department to come to take him down He also undertook, when the frcmen got near him, to jump into the river
 Kovalik climbed to the top of the column and seated himself astride a figure of an eagle. He undressed in the presence of huge crowd. and made speeches 10 attract still more people, until the fire brigade came on the scene with ladders and motor boats.
 Kovalik allowed the firemen to climb to a point near him, and then dived at an angle of i5 degrees, turn ing a double sOmersault and strik- ing the water on his back with ter. rife force. His body disappeared i'm mediately below the waves.
 KcvaIik's friends told the police the history of the affair with the cinematograph people, and the lat ter were arrested. They are charged with being accessory to murder.

Memorial Shows Place from Which MayAower Sailed
 for America

LONDON, Sept. 7.-The mcTovi1l to the Pilgrim Fathers, the founda- ton stone of which was laid at South ampton on August l5. in the pres ence of many representatives of the American and English Pilgrim socie- ties. will be on the Western Prone made, at the Mayfiower's starting point for America. 1t is to be fine column with commemorative tablets, and its position will make it clearly visible to vessels coming and going.
 Toast to the President
 At the luncheon on August l5, the mayor, II. BOwyer, and the captain and officers of the American training ship Newport were among the guests. To the toast. The Presi- dent Of the United States" Colonel A w. Swalm, the American consdl said that they we're celebrating the one hundredth year Of peace between England and the United States. and he thanked God that the day seemed to have passed when the two nations had to submit their disagreements to the arbiment of war. which brings nothing but miso~~ rr joiee at ti-S~"n at.,a ..r .n..--, and hope that for the next, say, thousand years, they would never be anything but friends.
 The Immortal Memory of the Pil- grim Fathers" was proposed by A. c. Hallett, the sheriff of Southampton, and acknowledged by J. II. Seaverns, and Arthur Lord, of Plymouth, Mass. Sir James Lemon proposed The Visitors for whom the mayor of Holborn, Professor Arber and Rev erend A. Gordon, of Manchester University, replied.
 Mir SeaveTns said that the voyage of the Mayfiower was perhaps the most momentous voyage in the his tory Of the world. Columbus, it IS true discovered a continent, but the wayfarers of the MayhoweT founded a people who not only developed the continent, but founded religious lib eTty. Though England and America may have had surface differences, they have many comn1on qualities. and are marching together on com mon tines toward a common goal.
 Crowd at Stone Laying
 There was a large assembly at the stone laying by the mayor of South ampton The memorial, the Stand ard says. is being erected by public subscription, and it is hoped that additions will be made to the com memOrative panels.
 A band of pilgrims fled from Eng land to Holland in 1908, seeking an opportunity for a freer exercise of their religious views. They found existence in the latter country hard. and the difficulty of earning a liveli. hood very considerable So, having purchased the historic Mayfiower, they crossed to England and set out from Southampton on August l5, 1920. for the virgin land of America. There were 120-English, Scotch and Dutch-in the band. Ate. a stormy voyage. they landed near Cape Cod, in November

LINN COUNTY CORN POOR.
Too Far Behind 70 Mature Before
Frost Comes.

Frost comss.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. Twenty per
cent OF the corn In Linn county and
most OF the corn in Delaware county
ID too far behind In growth to insure
big crop of good quality this year.
There also Is q shortage OF live stock
and the pastures are in poor condi-
ton, but recent high prices have put
the farmers into the class OF automo-
bile owners, according to Charles Min
or com mission merchant. who made
an inspection OF the crops yesterday IN
this vicinity.
Mr.. Minor states that south OF Ce-
dar Rapids where corn Is doing bet
ter than in the northern part OF the
county much of 1t has not begun to
tassle. Corn ought to tassle by July
Is. Sometimes It tassels AS early as
July (. The corn which is so far be-
hind in growth. Minor says. will never
catch up. for the growing and ripen-
ing season can not extend long enough
for this corn to develop and ripen.
AS a contrast, however. some Of the
corn Is in splendid condition.
The northern part OF the county had
an extremely wet spring and farmers
could not plant corn until it was quite
late.
The cause Of so much corn being be-
hind in growth is due In large ex-
tent to the present cold spell. UP &c
two weeks ago. weather conditions
were favorable and II was believed al
Of the corn would catch up the growth
which was lost by late planting. But
the cold weather has proved dis
astrous. and even ideal weather from
now can not do much towards devel-
oping a big crop.
