by Hugh Allen, Gilbert Christensen,
Christ Olson and Palmer Peterson,
went over the Carson bridge approach
| landing twenty feet below. among pill
ing and rock, in the village of Chase
burg Christensen jumped from the
car and escaped with a few minor
bruises and bad shaking up. The
others remained in the machine, Peter
son and Olson uninjured, while Allen
suffered a broken arm and sustained
injuries to his spine that completely
paralyzed him. He was taken to the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. l..
w Allen, in the town of Jefferson.
where he died Saturday morning.
This awful accident is reported to
have been caused by an inexperienced
person at the wheel. with practically
no chance of escape for those in the
car
Elihu Webster Allen, the victim of
this unfortunate Calamity, was born
near Newton, almost 81 years ago. He
leaves to mourn his untimel end aged
parents, two brothers, Mack and Cecil,
two sisters, Mrs Maud DeaVer and
Mrs. Walter Hardie, and many other
re latives, who wish TO extend thanks

distressing double accident is reported,

! from Readstown to the farm of their
son, the neckyoke gave way on hill,
permitting the vehicle to run upon the
horses. They were thrown violently
to the ground. They were carried to
the home OF their son, the mother dy-
| ing from her injuries that evening.
Mr.. Kellogg suffers from injuries about
the head, and has been Unconscious
much of the time. Funeral of Mrs.
Kellogg was largely attended on Sun
day
The CENSOR voices the expressed
sentiment of the Readstown Tribune
in saying that Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg
are among the oldest and most highly
esteemed couples in that village. and
sympathy of the entire community
goes out TO the old soldier who has
thus violently lost the life partner
who has shared his battles and victor
les, and cheered him on to success
where defeat seemed imminent Also
to those other near relatives upon
whom the blow of sorrow and bereave-
ment falls so suddenly

ARGENTINE TRYING
TO SOLVE PROBLEM
Or COST OF LIVING

Buenos Aires, Dec. easy as it
ought to be to decide whether wages
are high or low in Argentina, it is hard
to get employers and employees to
agree on the question. The former say
they are enormous; the latter that they
are not enough to live on.
DR.. Melo Of the legislation commit
lee Of the chamber of deputies has
finally produced some definite figures.
The doctor has been trying to secure
the passage of a law pensioning super
animated employees of the Buenos Aires
street railways, telephone and gas and
electric lighting companies. To estab-
fish a foundation for his work he has
gathered statistics showing that the
1S,340 persons engaged in these four
classes of work, which he says he con-
siders representative, receive an aver
age per individual of 1925 paper

expenses are considerably higher there
than in the United States, though
they contend that wages are more than
correspondingly higher.

JUDGE RELEASES
 ENGLISH LADY

There are many interesting refer ences to lord Chief Justice Campbell scattered about in the memoirs and bi- ographies of his contemporaries. He was man who inspired strong likes and dlslikes. The famous Dr. Kenealy hated him. He declared that Campbell found luxury in the intilction of tor ture and had q ratlike, cruel look on his fece, which settled immovably as the judge got older. The following reminiscence of Dr. Kenealy is re- markable:
 'T remember an incident which shows, although only in a slight de gree, his natural lack of courtesy and consideration. A number of ladies crowded into one of the passages of Westminster hall for the purpose of getting a glimpse of the lord chief justice, who was then a celebrity of some note. As he passed his button caught in a beautiful lace bertha worn by one of his fair admirers. After vain struggle to disengage himself Campbell deliberately took out his penknife-everybody thought for the purpose of cutting off his button and releasing the lady. Not at all. He coolly cut q hole in her handsome lace and passed on with his sweetest smile. Law Magazine and Review.

In. Michigan 700 college men are go- ing about in pairs and quartets as speakers and entertainers at prohibi- ton rallies. In California, during vacation, students have been speak ing, canVassing and distributing ht- erature. The four colleges in Mon tana have furnished prohibition W orkers for that state, and in south Dakota several teams of col lcge students are helping in the campaign.

 There he plants himself on. his two hind legs and his tail and, up to his shoulders in the water, awaits the ar rival of the pack. With his forepaws he seizes by the head the first dog that approaches, and as he Is more solidly balanced than his assailant he holds the dogs nose beneath the wa ter as long as he can. Unless a second dog speedily comes to the rescue the first one is inevitably drowned. If companion arrives and sets him free he is glad to regain the bank as quick. ly as possible.
