SAILOR SANDSTROM'S
THRILLING ADVENTURE
Former Duluth Detective Bat
ties Waters of Atlantic Ocean
in Terrible Storm.

Hugo Sandstrom, for several years .
well-Anown Duluthian, recently mar.
rowly escaped going to the bottom Of
the Atlantic ocean while trying to sue
cor bark in distress during terrible
hurricane that blew for four days early
in October, and that attained a max.
imum velocity of IS miles an hour.
Mr.. Sandstrom was an officer on the
IS. Wenakee, bound from Bristol Eng.
land, in ballast, to Norfolk, Va, there.
fore his vessel was top-heavy and
threatened to roll over every minute.
On the ninth day out from Bristol and
in the second day Of the terrible storm,
the SIS. Wenakee sighted q bark, fly.
, ing signals of distress.
On coming closer, it was seen that
every bit of rigging had been swept
away except spar, which carried half
sail. The master of the Wenakee
gallantly responded to the distress sig.
rails by ordering boat and crew over
board. When the boat was swung out,
t seas were so high and rough that it
was smashed against the side Of the
steamship.
A second boat was put over the side
and got away with Mr.. Sandstrom and
a crew of six men. As they neared
the bark, the boat was capsized and
the seven men were thrown into the
angry waters of the Atlantic ocean
and compelled to swim for it. The
bottom probably was not less than
1000 feet beneath their feet and the
water was cold.
With the help Of the wife of the
captain of the dismantled sailing yes.
sci, Mr.. Sandstrom managed to gain
the wave-swept deck. "It was no fun
getting aboard,' dclares the sturdy
mariner in a short letter to the Rip.

,, der date of Oct. Is.
TIE civ men in the brave crew of
the small boat were drowned and,
when Mr.. Sandstrom was able to look
over the wrecked bark, he found that
every soul had been swept overheard

ileved that she had not paid much on
it, If anything, and that her promise
to pay was not in excess Of $50. Had

would have been told that he, q bur.

Ground Glass Not Harmful

Experiments recently carried
out by the Army Medical Corps
have entirely disproven the pop
ular belief that ground glass is
harmful to the digestive tract.
Glass was ground and sifted to
secure varying degrees of fineness
and considerable quantities of the
material were incorporated iii
fresh meat the same being fed te
hungry dogs. This was repeated
in some instances on number of
days after which the dogs were
killed and the digestive tract ex-
amined both with the naked eye
and by the aid of the microscope
and no injury whatever was per-
ceptible. Before being killed the
dogs apparently suffered no in
convenience and appeared normal
in every way.
These findings should eliminate
for all time the idea of glass be-
ing the cause of death in animals
maliciously poisoned. = w. H.

An Important Discovery

A Kansas newspaper man has
patented a yellow paint, which
when dropped on the chin or shirt
looks like an egg stain. A small
carton of the paint can be secur-
ed for dime and will last life
time. The stain will hold good
on shirt for three weeks and
newspaper men who wear a shirt
longer than that may renew the
stain by merely retracing the old
STAIN. The invention makes it
possible for the poorest editor to
come down town in the morning
wearing stains on his shirt front
which only an expert can distin-
guish from the genuine.-Jules-

"have made farce of the laws

RED CROSS NOTES

The American Red Cross has
appropriated $1,8O0,OOO for Siber-
ian relief work during the ensu.
ing six months. While part OF
the work will lie in the supplying
of food and clothing, the most
pressing work is that of combat
ing typhus fever, which has
wreaked terrible havoc in that
country.
The Mountain Division-Color-
ado, New Mexico, Utah and Wy
oming stood first in the recent
old clothes drive of the American
Red Cross, according to figures
compiled for the nation. The
drive only realized 81 per cent of
the old clothes wanted, but the
Mountain Division led all by con-
tributing 85 per cent of it's quota.
1t shipped 5 per cent of all the
clothing contributed, altho it has
only 2 per cent of the population.
War risk insurance policies
which have lapsed thru non-pay-
ment of premiums may be redeem
cd cd any time within eighteen
months, according to a new war
department ruling. Payment of
the premium for the month of dis
charge and for the current month
will secure the policy, if the ap-
plicant is still in good health.
A recent census at United
States General Hospital 81, near
Denver, by the Red Cross, shows
2,734 people at the hospital, more
than half of whom are patients.
This is only one of five similar
hospitals in the Mountain Divis-
ion in which the public, thru the
Red Cross, is providing recreation
and all forms of service for the
boys.
In cooperation with the Amer
lean Bankers association and the
War Department, the American
Red Cross has established banks
at the rehabilitation camps in
this country where men can make
deposits to the banks in their
home towns or wherever desired.
Reports covering operations to
July a showed total of money
deposited at these banks of ST.
132,O77. Of the 131 ,681 men de-
mobilized in camps having these
banking agencies, 1882 made de-
posits, an average of $1OO.52 each.
Rains during the past ten days
have been general thruout the
state and in some cases have been
so heavy as to cause considerable
damage to crops. In general,
however, late crops are in excell-
ent condition and promise much
better production than was indi-
Gated two weeks ago. Corn, sor-
ghums, beans, hay, sugar beets,
potatoes and smaller crops are do
ing we'll in practically every sec
ion of the state and pastures, es-
pecially range pastures, have i'm
proved wonderfully, according to
reports received by the Coopera-
tive Crop Reporting Service. In
the north-central part of the
state, where the drought of May
and June was especially severe,
the rainfall Of the past two weeks
las been heavy and late crops
promise to make up in q measure
for the loss suffered by small
grains. The fruit crop is advanc-
ing satisfactorily and marketing
of early varieties of apples, peach
es and pears is well under way.
The fruit crop promises to be the
best since 1909.

5000 barrels. North, Waggoner, reported making l5,-
242 barrels. This well is about 600 feet from our drilling
well, and on the famous Bobby Terry tract. West, Ter
rell well came in, reported making 5000 barrels.
The Echols Well (Which is partly owned by this Company cam in at
10000 barrels a day. The Schuhr Well, drilled by the Sun Oil and Gas Co,

The Dabney and Moorhead Wells which have just come in, are only about
onefomth of a mile from our Well No. D These are both excellent wells.
There is NJ better acreage in the Texas Oil Field than the above described loca-
ton.
