"A carload Of hogs was shipped from
Blaisdell on Friday. This speaks well
for the progress and development Of
our farming community. Only few
years ago pork had to be shipped in
here and even the farmers purchased
their bacon at the local stores. Now
we are waking up to the fact that
those things can and must be produc-
ed right here at home if farming is
to be success.
Just as a little example as to what
happen to the renter we wish to say
that a prominent business man in the
city went up to the court house to find
out about his taxes. When the audi
tor gave him the figures it took his
breath away for a minute and when
he regained his breath he said "damit"
or something of that kind and i'm
mediately raised the rents of those
occupying his flats. The buck, you see,
is passed on to the renter because the
landlord refuses to stand for the
raise. Yes, this new day is good
thing for the poor man-not.
A very sad accident happened south
of Ross last Monday. The two Bruins
boys, John and Henry, were digging
out some Ignite coal when several feet
of frozen earth caved in and fell on
them. Henry was killed and John sus-
tanned a broken leg and other bruises
and injuries. The two boys are the
sons Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Bruins,
prominent farmers residing south Of
Ross. Henry, who was killed, was
about IL years old, and John was about
16 years old. The accident was a
shock to the entire community, as the
young lad was an exceptionally bright
boy and was loved by all who knew
him. His untimely death is severe
blow to his parents. The sympathy
Of the entire community is extended to
them in their said bereavement.

EXPLAINS COTTON PRICES
Hoke Smith Attributes It to the Rails
ing Of Restrictions.

Washington, May 26.-Recent In
creases in cotton prices were attrib-
uted to the raising Of restrictions
upon cotton exports to German-Aus-
tria and Jugo-Slayia by Senator
Smith, of Georgia, in a statement is
sued late today.
while cotton is still on the en-
barge list, Senator Smith said, "the
war trade board, under. powers vest
ed in it by the president, has prac-
'tically relieved cotton from being on
the embargo list The principal cotton
mills of Austria were In German
Austria and Jugo-Slavia, and all Of
this territory is now open to cotton
shipments without restrictions. The
quantity restrictions of shipments to
Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden have also been re-
moved. These broadening markets
justify the recent rise in cotton
prices, and with the raise Of the>b block
ade into Germany all of our markets
will again be open".

IF HAWKER HAD HAD A
:.- TRIPLE. ENGINE SEAPLANE
HE NIGHT HAVE CROSSED

Bv Capt. Paul Bowsher, D. S. c.
London, May 2S.-The reason for
Harry G.. Hawker's failure-a trivial
engine mishap-shows what a small
chance single-engined 'aeroplane
has of making the transatlantic flight
AS soon as the stoppage occurred
the circulation of the water stopped,
the water boiled away and the en-
gine, becoming oyerheated, stopped.
Being unable to remedy the trouble
in mid-air, the aviator was forced to
make a sea-lahding.
If the machine were a seaplane II
could have taken the air again. AS
it was, the fright of the Sopwith, once
it touched the water, was at an end.
Hawker made splendid effort.
A flight of 1,O50 miles over these
is an achievement of great moment
The transatlantic planes of the fu-
ture will he multiple-engined.

HAWKER'S RESCUE JUSTIFIES
FAITH OF MRS. HAWKER

London, May 26.-"There's no ex-
planation. just knew my man would
be restored to me and my only tria!
was the waiting.
With these words, Mrs. Harry, G.
Hawker this afternoon dismissed an
inquiry 3 to why OF all the people in
the worlc and this the literal truth
she alone preserved an abiding faith
in the miracle which yesterday re-
vcaled.
Why she chung so faithfully to the
one chance in a million and preserved
chr cheerfulness even in the face of
the official admission by tho admiral
ty that there was no chance OF res
cue, she processes not to understand.
II just did it,, she says, because
something told ME everything would
be all right.
Because of the correspondents be-
lief that second only to the marvel OF
the rescue of Hawkcr and Grieve was
this woman's answering faith against
the thought of the WHOLE world. he in
terviewed her with single purpose
of getting an answer to the great
question "why"?
i>,.,ce in the last week he had in
terviewed her and always found her
n4.n unsealned brow and confident
smile and heard her repeat as if it
were a prayer, learned by child at
its mothers knee, the expression OF
her belief. He'll come back!
Then there was no skepticism re-
sarding the genuineness of her faith
just pity for the seemingly newt
able awakening.
This afternoon the correspondent
found the same woman, not exalted
beyond the previous occasions. sitting
in the midst Of masses Of con-
gratulatory flowers, and smiling just
IS she did when all but she had
abandoned hope.
: Help ME to write this story OF 2
Moman.s marvellous faith, besought.
She laughed and bending over a
cfaster of blood-red roses, satd:.
eff you understand the greatest
love possible between a man and q
woman, you'n understand" all. II
you've loved one and suffered the
greatest worry and in spite Of this
from away off comes the loved ones
voice saying all right'-comes not
mysteriously, but naturally, as # in
the next room, then your heart re-
spends, doesn't it?
"'You face the blacklist cifcum-
stances with that song drowning all
thought of woe.

just-well, that's all can say.
