In Mixup At Minot

Mlnot. N. D., Dec. 21.-County
superintendent w. d. Wendt is con-
gratulating himself on a narrow es-
cape from serious injury or possibly,
death, because he missed both yester-
day when his auto was struck by. a,
500 engine on the Central avenue
crossing. He was on his way home
and a box car on the track, together
with the 500 freight depot, made it
impossible to see the approaching
train. until he+=was within about IS
feet of the track. At this time the
headlight flashed into view, and with
out being able to determine the:speedi
of the approaching train, he killed his
engine and threw on the brakes. one
brake seems to- have caught tighter
than the other and the car made a
half circle as it slid on the icy street
and the, rear. end was just on the track,
the carr having reversed its course,
when the engine OF the train, which
was. moving at slow speed,t struck the
car started the engine and allowed
the driver to o from the track.
The train stopped about forty feet
from the scene of the accident. The
auto was on the freman's side Of the
cab and was not seen until the pilot
was nearly against the ar. The car
received no injuries more serious than
scratches.

Herbert Hoover maintains his equa-

and to explain the true attitude Of the

gcSt the things which the people should
voluntarily do for the national welfare
and their own-to help them do these
things and never to exercise arbitrary
authority If it is possible to avoid it
And the way in which the great food

cstS OF the nation have Joined in the
work o' the food administration shows
that this mcthodd is vastly more ef-
fective than the cold force Of law The
farmers who produce the stuff have al
ready done magnificent work and may
be depended upon TO keep it up.
But the best thing that ! saw on
the trip was the green fields of Okla
