ground.
The men had been successful in
jumping clear of the debris while the
fact that the engine was in front of
them made their escape from injury
easier.
Before the drop by Sheppard and
Bell, some good work had been done.
Bell had taken two others in the BIZ
plane in making jumps on the field,
the purpose being to demonstrate the
carrying power OF the machine. Then
the parachute attachment was set In

shortage as faced by Ward county
farmers is somewhat more serious
than In other sections Of the state and
the International Harvester people are
exerting every possible effort toward
getting a sufficient quantity of twine
on hand for the Ward county harvest.
Although the cost of shipping Irvine
by express is a little nor than twice
that Of shipping by freight, this is not
being considered. The Irvine is needed
here and the fastest train in the world,
the famous Great Northern fast mail,
is being utilized to get it here on time.
Several shipments have been made
by express into other sections of the
state as well, not only by the Interna-
plement houses in the twin cities and

Heapy had an experience that they
will not car to go through again
very soon. in fact one accident of the
kind is almost enough for a lifetime.
While going along a high grade near
the Hugh Mcdowell farm in Mr..
Heapy's automobile, they ran into a
place In the road which had been
washed out by recent rains, about six
feet deep and ar equal distance across,
into which the a plunged before it
was possible TO stop it. The washout
was along one side Of a large metal
cufvert and a small crust Of earth had
remained on top in both the wagon
tracks, which made it appear at a dis
lance as though 1t was only a small
hole in the center Of the road, over
which the auto could easily pass.
However, when a few feet away Mr..
Heapy saw the real condition Of the
road and tried to stop his machine,
but 1t was too late. DR.. Sylvester,
who was In the back seat was thrown
clear Of the machine across the cul-
vert into the road, while MI. Skinner,
who was with him in the back seat,
was thrown into the ditch into three
feet Of water. Mr.. Heapy was held in
his seat by the steering wheel and
went down with the machine,
but fortunately it did not over
turn and his only injuries weer
a. few slight cuts from the
broken glass of the wind shield.
The other two were badly shaken up.
but no bones we're broken. The car
was badly damned up, but like it's &C.
cupants, got away rather lucky. con-
sidering the drop it took. It was in
deed fortunate that none Of the party
was killed, and perhaps the moderate
rate Of speed at which they were going
was what saved them.

out of the ear were found under the
ed to local parties.
