-FOUR DAYS IN
AFRICAN JUNGLE
BRITISH Filler IS MENAcED az
LIONS AND LEoPARps.
Officer Falls In Bog and Suffers
Agones Until Rescued by
Band of Natives.

LONDON, England.-Horrible expe-
riences of British aviator who came
down in an East African jungle are
described by him in letter just re-
ceived by a relatives here.
The aviator. Lieut.. G.. Garwood.
went up to bomb a German ambush
on the Ruff river, but through en-
CINE trouble had to descend in the
bush, the machine landing with q
broken propeller in a bog. 1t took
him four days to make his way to q
place of safety.
He tells how IN the dusk he was
confronted with an ugly black animal
about four feet feet high with vicious
tusks. He climbed tree and prepar-
ed to put in the night there. Later he
opened his eyes and saw something
like two green electric bulbs about
thirty feet from the tree. They moved
round In a circle. This continued for
forty-five minutes.
1.-THE tension was unbearable," he
writes. Il wanted to scream, shout
and yell all in one, but instead burst
out with 1.-THE Admiraps Broom" and
with full-throated bass roared out
the three verses. No applause, but
reward-the leopard skunk away. Why
had 1 not thought of it before?
II went through my repertoire.
laughed as l finished Two Eyes of
Graw.' 1t seemed so ridiculous. Then
/ got on to hymns, remembered four
verses of % God, Our Help of Ages
Past and sang the Amen too. The
whole thing had its ludicrous side"
Next morning while swimming a
river he passed seven yards from a
crocodile's mouth, but just reached
the bank in time. Without food or
arms-his only weapon of defense his
nail scissors-his progress through
the awful bush was about one hundred
yards an hour. His clothing was in
ribbons, and his flesh exposed to the
thorns, sword grass and flies.
He swan seven more rivers that
day and sank down exhausted against
a tree. He could hear a lion roaring
about 500 yards away, and, somewhat
. nearer, the granting of a hippopota-
MINUS.
; "Being exhausted, more or less
n lost consciousness for perhaps half an
hour or so. Nothing short of hippo
charging could have made me climb
a tree. Am afraid life had little
to offer about that time"
1t was while lying here that the
lieutenant had the annoying expert
ence of surveying two large balloons,
the size of a small man, quarreling
over his trousers, now in threads, and
among the tops of forty-foot trees.
1t was not until he had passed an
other horrible day and equally terrific
night in the bush that he at last was
picked up by some natives.
Their eyes seldom left me-" he
adds. Undoubtedly l was strange
sight-my legs bare and bleeding, my
short vest sodden, dirty and torn, no
trousers, of course, just dirty sun
helmet. short stick in my right hand
and with four days growth of beard
on my dirty face"

IMPROVE ROADS TO
PRODUCING COAL MINES

The State Highway Department, de-
string to cooperate fully with the
Highways Transport Committee of the
Missouri Council of Defense in the ex-
tension of Rural Express service, an
increased output from our coal mines,
and better transportation facilities in
sections not served by railroads, urg-
es that our main thoroughfares be
kept in the best possible condition
throughout the winter season. County
highway boards should make contracts
with individuals who will see that the
inter-countyseat roads are properly
dragged. Approaches to culverts and
aridges should be repaired, and pro-
vision made to reverse the drag and
remove the snow from our roads this
winter. The National Highways
Transport Committee has prepared a
"Snow Removal Bulletin" which will
be sent to all county highway boards
in proper season. The improvement
of a road leading to producing mines
will naturally stimulate greater out
put of coal. Let US regard the i'm
provement of all roads leading to coal
mining centers as a patriotic duty.

DON'T SEED WHEAT TOO EARLY

Delay the wheat seeding until, or
soon after, the fy-free dates if any
hessian fly injury was noticed in the
neighborhood this year. Sowing on or
soon after the fy-free dates should
not be considered late seeding be-
cause tests have shown that upon a
well prepared seeded the wheat will,
on the average, produce equally as
great a yield as that sown earlier.
Where hessian fly is not present, in
order to secure the best yields of
wheat, seeding in the northern third
of Missouri should not begin before
the last week in September, for the
central third not before the first OF
October, and for the southern third
the seeding should be delayed until
the first week in October.
These are the recommendation of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture as reported by 7. J. Tai
bert, who says:
Wheat sown too late may winter
kill badly because the roots do not
penetrate the ground as deeply as if
sown earlier. 1t is also true that late
wheat does not tiller as much as ear
ly wheat, and it usually gives thin
ner stand. 1t ripens later in the
spring and is more apt to be injured by
rust.
On the other hand, it is also true
that wheat sown too early is almost
sure to be injured by the hessian fly,
if present in the neighborhood. This
injury, as has been demonstrated
many times, may range anywhere
from 10 per cent to 100 per cent. Ear
ly seeding also usually produces a
heavy growth in the fall which dur
ing dry seasons may use all the mois-
ture stored in the soil and leave the
wheat crop entirely dependent on sea-
sonal rains. If such rains do not
come the crop is materially injured
and the yield is greatly reduced.
A great deal more will be accomp-
lished toward increasing the wheat
yield by preparing good, firm, well
compacted seed bed by more harrow
ing, discing, dragging and rolling the
wheat ground, than can be secured by
few days difference in time of seed
ing.

SECRETARY McKIBBIN OF

A. C. McKibbin, who has served as
secretary of the State Highway
Board since its organization in March,
1917, will retire as secretary on Sept.
goth. He retains his position as a
member of the State Highway Board,
having been appointed by Governor
Gardner for term of four years. The
board is bipartisan and each of the
four members is allowed $1,000 a year
and expenses. Secretary McKibbin is
the only member of the board who has
devoted his entire time to the work,
and as secretary he was allowed an
additional salary of $4,000 a year. In
February, 1918, the Attorney Gene
RAILS office ruled that although there
is no constitutional or statutory pro-
vision to the contrary, it is against
public policy" for member of the
board to draw a salary as secretary.
In withdrawing from active secretar-
ial work, Mr.. McKibbin states that he
will devote practically all of his time
to the development of the Highways
Transport Committee of the Missouri
Conucil of Defense, and the Capital
Highways Association which is work.
