thing new in the way of agricultural
trains. This is farmers short

Agricultural trains heretofore have
made a practise of stopping at sew

making a stop of whole day at each
place on the schedule By this means
an effort is being made to get into
close touch with the farmers and gath

dividual problems.
Another Novel Departure.
And this means another departure
of rather novel kind. The train ar
rives at each town late in the after
noon, and the instructors aboard visit
all of the farmers possible before the
meeting next day. Automobiles are
carried with the train for this pur-
pose.
Well-arranged programs for men,
for women, and for children are fea-
tured. The audience cars also are
curtained so that stereopticon lectures
may be given, and practical work In
seed cleaning, in the treatment OF
seed potatoes, in the figuring OF ra-
tons and in the scoring of potatoes
and stock will be given.
County and state contest work in
growing potatoes, alfalfa and corn,
and in raising chickens are being full

Professor N. Z. Chapman C"Uncle

X. d. Van Wagenen, and Secretary

LAUNCH CAPS|zES;

FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURS ON
MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT
MINNEAPOLIS.
THREE BELONG TO A FAMILY
Man Holds Wife by Hair and Saves
Sisters Child on Back While
His Own Children are WhirIed
to Death BY Eddies.

Minneapolis persons were
drowned in the capsizing of an over
crowded sixteen-foot launch in the
Mississippi river at Thirty.third ave-
nue. northeast at p. m. Sunday. Four
more of the party were rescued from
three or four bobbing logs snagged in
mid-stream onto which they had
crawled after half an hour in the Wa
ter whose current carried them four
blocks.
Those Who Lost Lives.
Those drowned were: Mrs. Otto
Justman, 2S12 Harriet avenue south;
Orville Justman, years old; Justman
baby, 8 months old; Norman Buch-
holz, years old; Harold Buchholz, 2
years old.
The rescued included: John C..
Buchholz, 1880 Marshall street north
east; Mrs. John C. Buchholz; Fred
Weber, Merrill, Wis; Helen Justman,
years old.
The body of Harold Buchholz was
found floating at Fifteenth avenue, IS
blocks from the scene of the accident,
an hour later. Too short a turn in a
big eddy overturned the heavily-loaded
launch as if it were a canoe.
John c. Buchholz, who drove the
launch, kept his wife and his sisters
daughter afloat. His own two child
rem were drowned. Fred Weber, aged
20, of Merrill, Wis, struggled to save
Mrs. Justman and failed. She and
two of her children were drowned.
Man Saves Wife.
Buchholz struggled to cluster of
logs, gripping his wife by the hair and
with his sisters little girl clinging
around his neck. Merrill followed
him. The woman and child were
pushed onto the logs, Mrs. Buchholz
unconscious. They chung there until

When the launch capsized, it spun
over and over on its side and afforded
no refuge. One of the Buchholz chill
dren was showed onto it for an instant,
then it whirled again and the child
disappeared. The same whirl that
| drowned his child threw Mrs. Buch
holz within the reach of Mr.. Buchholz.
In another spin the boat struck Mrs
Justman from the arms of Weber and
she sank
Boat and floundering people were
carried fast down the river.
| Only One Body Recovered.
Fifty men began search for bodies
Immediately under the direction of po
lice of the north and east stations. The
only body recovered was that Of Har
old Buchholz, the clothing of two
year-old keeping him afioat. The fact
that his body was found IL blocks
from the spot where the launch over
turned discouraged hope of early re.
covery of the other bodies.
1t was a family dinner party that
went out for short ride.
