TWO RODE A FISH

on the back of a forty-two- pound cat
fish for half an hour in the Chick
askia river, near Drury, the other day,
They finally landed the fish and
brought it to Wichita.
Mr.. Whitney and his son have been
camping for the last month. Neigh

ing monster fish in the river. Mr..
Whitney, wading in the river, felt
around until he located the fish.
He got one hand in the catfish's
gills and jumped on its back The
fish darted forward and whipped
around in the water until it was about
to throw it's rider off. Mr.. Whitney's
son rushed to his fathers aid and
climbed on top of the latter's back
to weigh down the catfish. For half
an hour the two men rode the fish
around, struggling to get it to the
bank. They finally succeeded.

ALI FOREIGNERS REMAINING
AT PARRAL HAVE been KILLED
BY VILLA BANDITS EXCEPT )
GERMANS WEDDING OUT
ALL WORDS OF FOR
EIGN ORIGIN
(By Associatetd Press. }

Berlin Nov 17.-Local authorities
in various towns and cities having
failed to enforce certain arbitrary
changes in language, to the end that
all words Of foreign origin might be
lweeded out, the minister of the inter
ior has taken a hand in the matter
In a communication to all the presi
dents of individual governments, he
urges that they give up the effort to
weed out foreign words by compulsion
and that rather they work along lines
of common sense. leaving such words
as are almost impossible of replace
ment or translation into German, and
urging the acceptance of other words
that may take the place of foreign
words meaninglessly adopted.
He suggests that list of German
substitutes for foreign words, drawn
up by the former police president Of
Berlin, Won Jagow, after consultation
with representatives of various trades
land business and with the General
German Speech Association" he urged
upon everyone particularly upon
those who still use foreign words in
advertising their trade or business.
He cites a number of industries,
notably the textile, in which foreign
words are still customary though they
have perfect German equivalents that
are not at all far-fetched as are some
of the attempted translations along
other lines and in other connections.
In cases where there is doubt about a
good translation he urged recourse to
the Speech Association.
