T.. of the Show.

A number of Topekans will attend
the big traction blowing exhibit that
will be held in Hutchinson July
1924.
The exhibition is expected to be
the greatest affair of the kind held in
the middle west. The demonstration
work by the big machines will be the
main feature, but a program of lee
lures by experts has been prepared,
and there will be good band music.
The tractors typify strikingly the
tremendous change that has taken
place in farm methods. There has
been a marked devel~ pment in labor
saving devices.
Among the Topekans who will go

white streak coming towards US
through the water. L wasn't sure at
first it was a streak, such as the wake
of a torpedo or the periscope OF a
submarine, but the question was soon
settled. 1t was a torpedo. We could
see it coming towards us at high speed.
When it appeared to be half a mile
or so off, the Orduna seemed to jump
ahead and a second afterwards TO

than ten yards behind the rudder,

it passed by"
U. S. Ship as Shield.
The passengers, including Baron
Rosenkrantz, turned their glasses then
upon the sailing ship, and tried to
make out her name. Passengers SAID
they could not see clearly the letters
painted on her, but they were reason
ably certain that it was the Nor
MAMIE or a name similar to that.
Maritime records here contain no
Normanie in the list of sailing vessels.
A near approach to this name now
ever, is that of the American bark
Normany.
here today that the Normany reached
Liverpool on July II, three days after
the Orduna was attacked, at the end
of a voyage from Gulfport, Miss Upon
her arrival at Liverpool, numbers OF
her crew said that the Normany was
stopped by a German submarine Sixty
rn:les southwest of TuSkaS Rock, of
the southeast coast of Ireland, Friday
night, July 9, and was forced to act
as a shield for the submarine which
hid herself from an approaching vessel
which proved to be the Russian steam
er, Leo.
Blowing Up of Leo.
The submarine submerged. accord
ing to the Normany'S crew, and pro-
ceeded around the Normany's bows.
Ten minutes later the crew of the
Normany saw the Leo blown up. This
occurred, the Normanys crew said,
on the night of July 9. The Orduna
was attacked on the morning of July
and the scene of the attack was
about twenty miles distant from the
spot where the Leo was sunk.
The captain of the Normany, how
ever, specifically denied the story told
by the members of the crew. The
bark was stopped by the submarine,
he said, but was allowed to proceed
with some of the Leo'S crew.
Resuming his narrative, of the ac-
cident, Baron Rosenkrantz said:
"A short time after the torpedo
had clipped past the Orduna's stern
it NAV have been fifteen minutes, it
may have been half an hour-a sub
marine came into sight. The torpedo
had come at us from the port and the
submarine that now doomed up was
abaft our starboard quarter.
A Second Submarine.
'"This may have been accounted for
by the fact that Captain Taylor had
been speeding the Orduna in zig
gag course. Possibly it was another
submarine don't know.
AT any rate, she opened fire on
us Immediately. She seemed to have
the range, too. The first shell fell
close and threw up Il
fountain of water. Captain Taylor
swerved again and showed the sub
marine only the liners stern, making
as small a target as possible

STOMACH VICTIM
PUT BACK ON JOB
Milwaukee Man Finds Quick Way to
Escape Misery of Diges-
tive Troubles.

William A. Ernst Of 1854 Richards
street, Milwaukee, was a victim or
stomach disorders which made him
miserable most of the time. He was
often unable to work and he suffered
severely.
Mr.. Ernst finally took Mayr's Won
derful Remedy and was surprised at
the quick results. He wrote:
"Your medicine has relieved me OF
about three hundred accretions and

ing the last dose. / have not lost an

mended your wonderful remedy to sew

1t to all who suffer as ! did.

manent results for stomach, liver and

Cost of Building Wire Fence.

An idea of the cost of building
barbed-wire fence is given in circu.
lar relating to fence building in North
Dakota, recently issued by the United
States department Of agriculture. The
costs in North Dakota are high, owing
to the fact that all material, including
posts, must be shipped in, and for this
reason the figures are thought to rep.
resent practically a maximum for this
country. The maximum cost per rod
is 369 cents, for a three-wire fence
with posts spaced one rod apart. A
two-wire fence with posts spaced one
rod apart costs 1922 cents per rod; a
four-wire fence with posts spaced two
rods apart costs 1917 cents, and five
wire fence with posts spaced three
rods apart, 80 cents. The figures also
show the low cost Of wire as compared
with posts both in construction and in
upkeep.-Popular Mechanics.

A visitor to mandatory saw a man
molding clay into pots. Noticing that
all the molding was done by hand, he
said to the workman, why do you
not use tool to aid you in shaping
the clay?" The workman replied:
There is no tool that can do this

RELICS OF OLD RACE
IMPORTANT FIND REPORTED BY
NEVADA SCIENTISTS.
Traces of Ancient Civilization That
Antedates Anything Known in
American History Said to Be
Discovery of Recent Date.

The archaeological department of the
University of Nevada has nearly COM
pleted the exploration of cave in Ne
Vada, sealed up by nature 5000 years
ago. 1t contains relics of what is be-
lieved to be the ancient race from
which the American Indians sprung. a
race far older than the Aztecs. Among
the things brought to light is a skull
declared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly in existence
several hundred thousand years ago. If
these surmises are correct, it is older
than the Piltdown skull, found in
Kent, England.
Along with the skull were found
many relics Of prehistoric race in a
remarkable state of preservation, be-
cause, they have been Theoretically
sealed in natures own preservatives.
The first mention of this ancient
civilization that is remembered by
white men dates back to 1874, when
General Fremont led from California a
little band Of whites across a new trail
Though the Rockies. He followed the
Humboldt river until he came to the
shores Of what is now called Hum
boldt lake, half mile east of the main
Humboldt range of mountains, and a
mile south of Lovelock, New. In the
region of the lake he entered the land
OF the Piute, the chief of whom was
Winnemucca. The trail makers were
met by the Indian chieftain with open
arms.
General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Piute band for many
days. Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont method of COM
munication by means of signs. He
asked the Indian chief if he, in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history of the Indians
went back to the beginning of the
world. 1t told him his ancestors had
driven whole nation into huge cav
ern and sealed them there to perish.
When years later Chief Winnemucca

the Piute legends spread among the
pioneer miners and finally reached the
ears of scientific men. With the COM
ing of educators into Nevada in the
last rs years interest quickened with
reported fossil discoveries in the beds
of extinct rivers and on the falls Of
canyons.
At Winnemucca's death his daugh-
ter, Sarah, became attached to the
family of an army officer, and through
them the legends became public when
they were recounted in book printed
in 1870.
Her granddaughter, Sarah Winnie
mucca, was educated in a reservation
school. Her imagination fired by the
legends of her people, she repeated
them to her instructors, until finally
Prof J. c. Jones, chief of the archeo-
logical department of the state uni
versity, determined to make search
for the lost cave. The stories indi-
Gated that it must be somewhere near
the Humboldt lake. Sarah Winnemuc-
ca picked spot as near as the leg
ends could guide her, from which point
the scientists conducted their search
successfully.

VETERANS STORY
OF WAR CAREER
Had Learned to Obey, and Con-
sequentIy Successful When
He Came to Command.

THE life story of veteran, whose
rise in the commercial field was
from errand boy to head of the
firm, and whose elevation on the bat
tlefield was that from private to cap
tain. He had the old soldiers mod
esty and wariness of bombast, but the
character or the man shows through
his whole explanation. His war rec
ord and his high position in the city's
responsibility speak for themselves.
Before I was twelve years old l
had to go to- work somewhere, and,
searching around, found a one-dollar-
a-week position in a wholesale cloth
ing store. 1t was the old story of 60
ing to work early and quitting late.
AS l grew older and found more
things to do they piled responsibility
upon me- I learned at this point the
things which have made me success
full in later years. l developed the
qualities of dispatching duties with
precision and eXactnesS. also learned
to obey orders. When one of the
heads of the firm snapped out some
thing at me I did it, and did it quick.
This training was of inestimable value
on the field and helped much in my
promotion.
All the agitation between the North
and South l followed closely in the
papers. l was enthusiastic for the
Union, and when the fort was fired
upon ! enlisted. I was then seven
teen. I was young, too young, per-
haps, but my body was strong and
we'll knit for my age, and l suppose
I was older in experience than many
of my seniors. l felt at home with
men older than I, mainly because /
had developed responsibility and Sc
robustness through hard work from an
early age.
While we were in camp I was made
corporal. 1t was minor post. but
there were some duties to be per
formed. l went about them quickly
and directly, as 1 had been trained to
do with all details which crossed my
line of duty. learned the discipline
and conduct of the camp, to say little,
and to jump when spoken to.

shakiness left me, and l went into
the fray concerned only with doing
what l was told to do.
Through those first campaigns
was just one of the rank and file.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened
to me. A bullet cut through my
clothes once, but did not break the
skin. A queer thing about that Incl
dent was that l had silk handker-
chief in my breast pocket, and the
bullet, slicing through the folds. put
% distinct and separate holes in it.
The ball ran around my body and
dropped inside my belt.

result of any dramatic denouements

1t was the natural order of events,
and the result of doing my duty and
obeying orders.
