"The power had been turned off,
and when it was seen that the auto
was not going to stop in time the two
men in the front seat yelled to Mrs.
Peterson and the children to jump.
Glenn Peterson had time to heed their
warning, but suit cases in the rear

to be carried into the water with the
automobile.
Both were good swimmers and
Miss Helen easily escaped. Mrs. Pet
erson was struck twice by suit cases
and was grabbed by the hair by Mr..
Munson and rescued"

With only couple of breaks in New

one to travel all the way from New

trolley car. The fares will cost about
$40 and the hotel bills en- route will be
about $12 extra. The trip will require
about four days and it is needless to
say that the route is through the most
picturesque scenery in Eastern Amer

lines extend up the Hundson Valley to
Albany and thence up the Mohawk
Valley via Schenectady and Amster-

are connected by trolley lines after

is to be used in violation of the state
laws, will be enforced.
Rumors have reached the office Of
the attorney general in Bismarck that

torney general is anxious to make GER
tain in this respect.
He has therefore asked to states
attorneys to keep constant watch ON
the liquor shipments into the respect

they are for the individual consump-
ton of the consignee. In cases where
large shipments are made to individ-

at once. In a number of instances
agents are aware that the liquor be-
ing shipped in is for the violation OF
the prohibition law, and they are sub

Attorney General Linde is after the
liquor traffic hard and does not in
tend to let any grass grow under ms

Rain ON SUNDAY
DELAYS HARVEST

A heavy rain just after noon Sun
day, accompanied by considerable
wind, was quite general over Barnes
county, except in the southeastern
part, where it was just a shower. AT
Vernon Grants near Cuba there was
only a light shower.
The western and northwestern parts
of the county, however, had a very
heavy rain and considerable wind, and
wheat, especially macaroni, is badly
lodged in consequence. The damage is
said to be greatest between Faust
and Rogers, where grain is reported
as being fiat. 1t is thought that most
of it can be picked up, however, and
that little loss will result.
The Times-Record on Sunday eve
ming called up number of farmers in
different parts of the county and the
opinion was unanimous that with clear
skies Monday morning the harvest
would be under way again by noon.
Even though the sky was overcast
Monday there was a brisk wind that
dried up the moisture rapidly and the
farmers in town Monday morning said
that cutting would be general again
after noon.

HE ADVERTISED

There was an old geezer and he
had lots of sense. He started up a
business on a dollar-e;ghty centsa-
the dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad, brought him three lovely
dollars in a day, by dad. Well, he
bought more goods and a little more
space and he played that game with
a smile on his face. The customers
Hooked to his two-by-four, and
soon he had to hustle for a regular
store. Upon the square, where the
people pass, he gobbled up a corner
that was all plate glass. He fixed
up the windows with the best that
he had and told 'em all about it in
a half page ad. He soon had 'em
coming and he never, never quit;
and he wouldn't cut down his ad
one jit. Well, he's kept things
humping in the town ever since,
and everybody calls him the Merch-
ant Prince. Some say it's luck, but
that's all bunk. People have to
purchase and the geezer was wise.
For he knew the way to get them
was to advertise.

London, Aug 21-International ques
lions, including those between the
United States and Germany, arising
from the sinking of the steamer Ara
bic, with the loss of two American
lives, and between the United States
and the allies as the result of the
declaration of cotton as absolute con-
traband, loom large in the news of the
day. There continues to be much spec.
ulation as to what action, if any, will
be taken with regard to the Arabic.
In respect to the declaration Of cot.
ton as contraband, it is expected here
that America will offer less serious oh.
jections to this step that to the order
in council under which cargoes from
America are now dealt with.
Alongside these questions in which
America is interested is the indigna-
tion aroused in Denmark and the
whole of Scandinavia as the result
of the attack by German destroyers
on the British submarine E-13, after
she stranded on Danish island.
Without warning the submarine ap-
preached in neutral water, it is de-
clared, and fired upon the E-13, which
was being repaired in an effort to re-
float her, and she was sent to the bot
tom and part Of her crew killed. The
attack continued until Danish vessels
interceded.
The British official account says the
German destroyers fired on the men
in the water with machine guns and
shrapnel. Fifteen of the crew, at
least, lost their lives.
Activity of German submarines also
has brought a protest from the Span
lsh government, which has lodged
claim for the sinking of the steamer
lsldoro. The German ambassador ex.
pressed his regret "at the incident"
Since then another Spanish steamer
has been sunk by German submarine
and it is expected another claim will be
filed.
