WRISLEY BROWNS PLIGHT

Among the bright young lawyers
attached to the department of justice
at Washington is Wrisley Brown. Not
long ago he was sent to town in the
middle West to investigate quietly the
condition of bank there. In order
not to arouse any suspicious he used
an assumed name In registering at
the hotel.
All day long he busted himself
about the town and went to his hotel
at night tired and footsore.
Let's see. what's your room num-
ber!" asked the proprietor. when
Wrisley went to the desk for his key.
Il forget" said Wrisley.
Whats your name, then? I'll look
it up"
For the life of him, Wrisley
couldn't remember what name he had
used when he registered that morn
Ding. and the register had been put
away.
II forget-er. that is" began
the usually self-possessed Wrisley.

BEAR WANTED HAROLD
MAINE MAN DENIES THAT sRulN
WAS PLAYFUL.
His Experience Would Seem to Dis.
prove the Idea That the Monarch
Of the Woods Hesitates to At
tack Human Beings.


Harold Farley. of Bingham, is will
ing to take cath ION a stack of Bibles"
that the man who says bears will not
attack human beings are nature takers
OF the worst sort. Harold was attacked
by a bear one night and had to burn
he had on at the time to save himself
from the critters quiek-lunch counter.
AS the hero Of this astounding yarn
tells it, he was on his way to PEBBLE &
Robinson's logging camp No. in the
Deadwater region, eight miles above
Bingham, where he is employed as a
chopper. He had been home for a
change of underwear and had started
at dusk for the eight-mile tramp
through the woods to camp, carrying
a lantern to cheer and light his way.
When within half a mile Of camp
Farley stumbled into birch top that
had fallen across his path, and as he
stumbled in an immense bear STUN
bled out-a sort OF superdreadnaught
bear-which gave one growl and one
swipe, soaring Farley and putting his
lantern out. Two more 'woof, woof"
remarks from the bear and Farley lit
out for the nearest tree, up which he
went with speed and agility that as.
founded both himself and the bear.
Now comes the brand-new and red
hot part of the story-good for moving
pictures. Farley had climbed high,
but the bear seemed bound to get him,
and there wasn't even time for pray
ers. There was time, however, for
Farley's wits, sharpened by peril, to
get busy, and he thought Of an old
hunters remark that bears can't stand
the smell of burning cloth. So he took
one of the several clean handkerchiefs
he had brought from home, touched a
match to it and let it drop on the
bears nose. That helped some. The
bear growled deeper than ever and
paused ten seconds in his climb.
Thus went Farleys stock of hand
kerchiefs. but the bits Of fame served
merely to postpone the dread mo-
ment when bear worth not more than
$50 would be lunching on woodsman
who could earn that much in q month,
besides board. Farley decided to sac
rifice his shirt-his outer shirt. That
was more effective. 1t stayed the
bears advance fully one minute. Then
a red flannel undershirt. About equal
results.
Next-but at this moment the camp
crew, who had observed the fiickers of
flame in the tree top-and heard Far
ley's yells for help. came along with
poles and axes and chased the bear
away.
That's true story-every gosh
darned word of it," says Farley, "and
them as don't take no stock into 1t
can go out there and see what's left

INVENTOR OF THE FOKkER

Mijnheer Fokker, the inventor Of
the monoplane that bears his name
and that for several months has been
greatly disturbing the adversaries Of
Germany by its speed and destructive
powers. is a native of Holland, and is
said to be not more than twenty-three
or twenty-four years old. He has
spent the greater part OF his life in
Germany. but would appear to be
thoroughly familiar with the French
flying machines. A number of the de-
vices on the Fokker are claimed by
the French to be outright copies of
their own.
About FIVE years ago Fokker made
his appearance in the German flying
corps, and his first monoplane was re-
ceived with such small enthusiasm
there that the invention was offered
to the British government. Some Eng
lish experts examined it, recommend
ed it as being uncapsizable. but so BAD

WHY UNDERWOOD DECLINED

Senator Underwood, who for many
years was member and chairman
OF the house committee on ways and
means. and who is the author of the
present tariff law, declined position
on the finance committee of the SEN
ate, the tariff-making body of the up
per branch. Asked why he refused
the proffered appointment, Mr. I'm
derwood told this story of an old Ala
bama shoemaker:
This old chap used to sit all day
pegging shoes. Once month he
bought ticket in the Louisiana state
lottery. Finally his persistence was
rewarded, and he was notified that he
had won the $4,000 prize. He closed
his shop, bought an outfit of new
clothes and went up to New York, as
he had always dreamed of doing.
Two years he spent in the me-
tropolis, doing all the things he had
wanted to do for many years. But
the pace was too fast. He went back

TEN CENT TWINE
FOR NEXT YEAR
Sisal Trust is Forcing Price of
Raw Material Up-Farmer
Pays Bills

Minnesota farmers, says the Mime
apolis journal, will! have to pay at
least ten cents a pound for sisal Irvine
for binding next years crops, accord
ing to members of the state board of
control, who say that at 81 cents the
state has sold its Irvine this year too
cheaply. In fact. the state now is
unable to buy any twine at all from
the Reguladora, as the Yucatan
sisal trust is called, and has been
forced to stock up to an unusual ex-
tent with the higher priced manila
fiber.
The Reguladora got control of the
Yucatan fiber supply about Is months
ago. Before that time the wholesale
price of sisal in this country ranged
from 81 to cents, and state prison
Irvine last year sold for 81 cents
The Reguladora started the fiber
price at 81 cents, and the last bought
by the state for the 1916 supply cost
1876 cents. The prison Irvine sold
this year for 81 cents. The last quoted
price on fiber, however, is 10 cents
and now none is being offered.
In a Washington dispatch Saturday
to the Journal, Arthur Sears Henning
declares that the small planters of
Yucatan are getting no more for their
product than they did before the Reg
.uladora existed. The trust was start
ed by large planters. under a conces-
sion from the Carranza governor of
Yucatan, and has been financed III

Do Sheep Pay?

Benson Monitor Thomas Killen,
one Of the prosperous farmers of De-
Graft, was a caller at the Monitor
office last Saturday. He told US that
he brought in an eve which weighed
24O pounds and for which he received
a check for SIS go from one of the
local stock buyers. Mr.. Ki.len is
getting more enthusiastic about sheep
raising. and for the benefit of others
who might be interested, we print the
following story substantially as he
told it to US.
Four years ago Mr.. Killen decided
to go into the sheep business on a
small scale, and after looking around
he went to Willmar where he pur-
chased eight head of Shropshire sheep
with lambs at total cost of $72.
from Phil Haley, one of Kandiy
most substantial farmers. Several
of Mr.. Killen's neighbours laughed at
him for making the investment, and
at the same time telling him he was
an "easy mark" for purchasing the
sheep. Tom, howe err thot otherwise
and hung on to his sheep and each
year he invested a little money by
purchasing a full blooded ram with
which to improve his flock and after
a year would dispose of the animal.
During the four years he has sold
wool and lambs amounting to S525,
killed sheep each year for home con-
sumption, and still has flock of %
head which he values at $500, and all
this from an original investment of
$780,.
1t seems to us that it does not re-
quire much figuring to solve the pro-
bIem, "Do sheep pay?"
