was sent out with a splendidIy
equipped force on the steamship
Diana from North Sydney, Nova
Scotia. Misfortune overlook them at
the very start, for their craft was
wrecked on Borges Point, on the
Labrador coast. Nothing daunted
however, they returned to st. Johns,
Newfoundland, and were transferred
to the steamship Erik, which landed
them at Etah, their base, on August
90, 1918.
Face to Face With Death.
From there on it was a battle of
man and dogs against the elements,
a daily struggle in which virtually
every hour brought them face to face
with death in its most desolate form.
There is price to be paid for
these Arctic journeyings besides the
toll in health and life. The Croker
Land affair has cost more than $780,
900, including the loss of two good
ships, the Diana, upon which the
party left New York, and the Dam
mark, which was secured to go up
and bring them home when word
came that they were at the verge of
starvation and unlikely to survive an
other winter in the deadly cold. The
Danmark, one of the staunchest of
north water whalers, was caught in
the ice about ITS miles from Etah,
and is probably still there unless her
sides have been crushed in and she
has sunk.
1t was not until Capt. Bob Bart
lett, king of all Arctic sailors, who
was with Peary when the pole was
found, took his sturdy Neptune and
won his way to Etah, that relief was
possible. His voyage unquestionably
saved lives, but ii was at a sore cost
to his ship, for the Neptune is very
badly battered and may never be
good again for the kind Of work Cap
tain Bob glories in.
That too is all part Of the game,
and there Is glory enough 70 console
the rescuer, who not only got to the.
Macmillan expedition in time to
bring the members all back alive but
made the voyage to Etah and back
in the fastest time on record.

The more enthusiasm there is,

FARMERS WARNED OF
ACID IN FLAX CROP
Veterinarian al New England Says lt
/ Will Prove Fatal to Stock Few
Minutes After Eating WiIted Flax.

New England, N. D., Sept. II. -
Warning sent broadcast by DR.. A.
Dafoe, a veterinarian, advises farm
ers of the state that the dry weather
has created an acid in fax which IL
a rank poison, proving fatal to stock
a few minutes after eating green or
partially wilted fax.
During the past ten days many
farmers in the southwestern part OF
the state have been losing stock,
many of the animals being valuable
dairy cows. In this immediate
vicinity twelve head of cattle died
and in Adams county the losses have
been much heavier.
Some farmers are Of the belief that
the spittle left on the straw by
grasshoppers after their movement
westward over this section Of the
state recently may have something
to do in the way Of producing the
deadly acid.
