MAKES 5000 MILE
TRIP IN A BASKET

Roselawn, Ind. Jan. IA Jour-
ney of 5000 miles in basket bed
ended here today when G. c. Smith,
mining engineer of Natal, South Az
RIGA, arrived. at the home of his par
ents. He suffered broken back in
mine accident and is paralyzed
from the waist down, but neverthe-
less will wed Miss Amy Palmer, an
English nurse, who cared for him in
hospital in Cardiff, Wales and help
ed bring him home.
Smith and a companion were re-
pairing machinery in the South
African workings. A huge rock fell
killing his companion. At Smiths
request the company started him
home, appropriating $4,000 for the
surgical and other expenses of the
trip. The journey was broken at
Cardiff, so that the injured man
might receive special medical at
tention and 1t was there that he met
Miss Palmer. Because of the size of
the basket in which Smith travelled
it was necessary to take out the Win
dows of a railroad coach to get him
aboard the train.

LOUISVILLE BROKER GETS
BUFFALOEs IN CATTLE CAR

Foster II. Embry, well known
livestock broker, who was elected a
director in the Board of Trade last
Monday at the annual meeting, had
four big buffaloes wished on him
yesterday in a shipment of cattle
from Greensboro which arrived OF the
Bourbon stock yards over the Louis
vile, Henderson and st. Louis Rail-
road.
They are real buffaloes, the kind
that are so common to Indian pic
lures, with high humps on their
shoulders, heavy names and whis-
kers around their muzzles, and fac
ial expressions of an old man con-
templating a curiosity.
Mr.. Embry was seated in his office
a few minutes after the shipment ar
rived when Dietrich Raymond, yard
master at the Bourbon Stock Yards,
rushed in and reported that he had
found four strange animals in a car
load of cattle.
A large crowd of brokers and cat
tlemen followed Mr.. Embry to the
car where the buffaloes we're identi-
fed. Turnout the dav the animals
attracted unusual attention for they
are the first of their species to find
their way into the Bourbon Stock
Yards in the history 0f the livestock
market.
No one knows how the buffaloes
found their way in the car with the
cattle, unless the shipper of the live
stock at Greensboro bought them
from a disbanded circus and sold
them out on the first order.
When Mr.. Embry had recovered
from his surprise and the humor of
the situation had worn off, he wor-
ried considerably over the DISPOSE
ton of the buffaloes for there is no
market for them here and besides
no one wants live buifalo any more
than an elephant.
Later in the day Mr.. Embry ar
ranged for the sale of the buffaloes
to a local butcher.-Louisville Her

this planting can be done when the
ground is mellow with cultivation
cover-cropping can be done.
This is how one successful farm
er manages: After the last cultiva-
tion of each crop, he scatters the
seed of the cover crop not later than
September LIST for any legume. This
Is narrowed in with harrow
toothed cultivator. The work of
gathering the crop at maturity does
not destroy the growth, and by win
ter he has substantial growth for
the benefit of the soil
This method is. good for all truck
and small farms where intensive cul-
tivation does not give time for the
long crop rotations which those on
extensive tracts may practice. Be-
fore beginning reconstructive meas
ures on a rundown farm, get the ad-
vice of your state agricultural ex-
perts, as well as of some progress
sive farmer, concerning the soil con-
sideration. You do not lose your
dignity by asking or writing for
counsel. The best authorities do
not claim to know all about every
problem, and the exchange of ideas
helps them too!

That person can visit distant
friends in dreams and see what they
are doing, If one only wills to do So,
is the statement of an English ex-
perimenter in the mystery of
dreams. 1t is apparently kind of
dream" telepathy, because to carry
it out successfully both parties must
be willing to receive or transmit
the message. Curiously enough, who
is to be the transmitter and who is
to be the receiver can only be decid-
ed when the experiment is carried
out. The following is an example Of
this strange means of communica-
ton which was carried out as an ex-
pertinent.
The experimenters were a lady
and gentleman. They were friends,
but not in any way related, nor were
they lovers. The man lived in Lon
don and was bachelor; the lady
in Liverpool. They mutually agreed
that on certain night, at given
hour, they would try to see in sleep
what the other was doing and what
were the surroundings of each. The
man went to sleep in London, as
usual, and dreamed not at all, al
though trying to do so. In the morn
ing he decided that the experiment
had failed.
What was his surprise, however.
to get a letter from his friend, in
which she gave an account of all his
acts before he went to bed, and de-
scribed his room accurately, even to
the detail of brown, well-worn car
pet being mended with bit of scar
let felt. She had never been in his
rooms nor heard what they were
like, yet she was able in dream to
see in Liverpool what he was doing
in London. How it was that she
could see when he could not, has
yet to be discovered.
This dream sight would be of much
comfort at the present time when
one longs to know if the dear ones
at the war are safe, and doubtless
the soldiers would be cheered by a
vision of those at home. Thus tele-
pathic dreaming might be worth
while cultivating; but to be success
full it must be quite natural. The
will power must be under the COM
plete control of the sleeper, and
not interfered with by any outside
intelligences, and both parties must
arrange the hour they intend to put
the experiment into practice.
