Farmers May Make
Money Off Stumps

Many farmers in Oregon are now
turning their tree stumps into mon
ey, instead of burning them up, by
virtue of the development of the
ship-knee industry as result of ship
building, says the Cottage Grove Sen
tinel.
Ship-knees are secured from regu-
lar old tree stumps and at present
there is quite a demand for them in
Portland and all other places where
wooden ship construction is under
way. Those connected with the in
dustry are predicting that there will
be a continuance of the present de-
mand for five years at the least.
As it takes an average of 295 ship
knees for each wooden ship and as
the sale price of each knee is from
so cents to 81, the possibilities of the
industry can be seen. Knees of the
sizes known as SIS, 12s and las are in
most demand, different yards having
different requirements.
The knees are furnished the ship-l
yards in the rough and there they
are made into the proper dimensions.
Companies engaged in the business
of furnishing them to the shipyards
buy them at the shipping point, pay
ing cash, and ship them to the des-
tination Blueprints are furnished
the farmers to guide them in the cut
ting.

DEMENTED GIRL
CAPES AND is GONE FOUR
DAYS BEFORE FOUND.

Yankton, Jan. 31.-Louis Niagara,
of this city, found a poor demented
girl near a haystack Sunday after
noon, where the girl had been living
since Wednesday, when she escaned
from the state hospital. The girl,
about 20 years of age, said she came
from Woonsocket to the hospital.
When found she was thinly clad in
white shoes, white stockings and
white dress. Getting thirsty, the girl
had left her hiding place, but soon
got numb in the intense cold, and
when found was sitting on a snow
covered hill, with her long hair, her
only protection from the wintry blast.
How the girl had lived without food
or shelter through four bitter cold
nights is a mystery. The girl said at
tendants from the hospital searched
the haystack she was hiding in, look
ing for her, but could not find her,
she was SO we'll concealed. The girl
was returned to the hospital after of
ficers had gone to the place Niagara

yesterday at the Boston hotel, 305
Fourth street, after can from the
girl had attracted the attention of
other persons living there. Nokis
had the girl a prisoner in his room,

er, it is asserted, when her cries
brought help. Patrolman John OH
lund was called by one of the EN-
ployes of the hotel and took both No
kis and the girl to police headQuar-
tiers. 1t is said that a federal charge
of white slavery will be placed
against Nokis.
According to Miss Wright, she first
met Nokis several months ago at
Cleveland, O., where she was living
with a sister. Recently she moved to
Aberdeen. 1t is stated that Nokis
persuaded her to come to Sioux City
on a promise of marriage, and SEN
her money to pay expenses.
Since arriving here about two
weeks ago, Miss Wright has been liv,
ing with Nokis as his wife at the
Boston hotel. She alleges that he
forced her to comply with his wishes
by threatening to kill her. Yester.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they cannot

help ON FARMS
COMMERCIAL CLUBS TAKE AC-
TION TO HELP FARMERS
THIS SUMMER.

appeal by the Mitchell Chamber of
Commerce for men to aid in farm
work next summer, ten Mitchell bus
mess and professional men have sign
ed pledges to give a part of their time
next summer to aiding the farmers OF
Dawson county in handling their
crops. 1t is expected that this list

at least two weeks each of their time

ers. Business houses in some cases
are considering giving extra vacations
with pay to their employees who do
farm work during the time off.

Aberdeen Commercial club work out,
500 Aberdeen men will volunteer to
do at least five days work on the
farms of this vicinity during the seed
ing, harvesting and threshing periods

eyes-"gone with his regiment Now

There she kept house for her grand
son, who worked in a downtown Office.
When America took up cudgels for dc.

him" whispered the old lady broken.
