locked at central wharf the latter part
of last week. with a cargo Of mahogany
logs from AKIN, South Africa. has
since been discharging cargo. The boat
will be berthed at the G. F. & A. dock
the latter part of the week, for the pur-
pose of loading dozen or more car
loads of steel billets.

SPENDS NIGHT IN WELL
Missouri Hunter Meets With Strange
Accident. But Finally
Escapes.

Wheaton, Mo.-Plunging into well
70 feet in depth, and remaining there
for many hours, was the experience Of
John Switzer while hunting foxes near
Powell, six miles south of this place.
Switzer and several others of CRANKY
came over for an all-night fox chase.
Switzer selected an abandoned field
near an old hut to wait for the chase.
About midnight he heard the dogs COM
ing his way. and as he started to meet
them he stepped into the old well.
Fortunately the well was dry, but
Switzer was badly bruised and dazed.
He spent the night in vain attempt
to climb the sides of his prison
As morning dawned, Switzer deter
mined to make his last effort to free
himself. Catching with both hands on
the sides of the well, he climbed a few
inches at a time. He worked cautious
ly, as his strength rapidly became
weaker. Finally Switzer reached the
top and by grabbing small bush he
pulled himself from the hole of torture.
He was found in dazod condition by
his companions.

lanta, Baltimore, Jeffersonville, Chi
cago, st. Louis. New Orleans, San An
tonic, Omaha, FL Paso. San Francisco

extended to additional cities as rapid
ly as possible.
Continued purchase by the depart
ment of certain necessities so that
these stores may be continued in

campaign against the high cost OF liv-
ing is understood TO be under con-
sideration.
Prices on all commodities offered
for sale will be so fixed as to prevent
discrimination between the purchasers
who buy over the counter and those
who purchase through the mall.
All mail orders will be delivered by
parcel post, but the policy of making
these sales through the post office de-
partment is to be discontinued. All
such orders will go directly to the
stores.

post office department has been asked
to establish sub-stations in each store.
Catalogues quoting prices and giving
the location of all stores are being
prepared and will be available at
