REGULATORS
 TAKE CHANGES

The storer of food must be, per haps to a greater extent than any other food merchant, a speculator. He must stake his investment against many risks which cannot be definitely anticipated.
 When he goes forth in spring, for instance, and buys up eggs while the hen is working with feverish industry and producing in three months nearly half of our annual egg supply, he must calculate against the gaugeless future.
 He may certainly count on eggs being much higher priced during the next December" someone says.
 True, but it's the margin that trou- bles him.
 For, as a great many people do not realize, it costs money to keep food in storage. On eggs alone it is one to two cents a dozen a month. And there is interest on the investment and loss from spoilage-or such of it as is not passed on to the consumer-and on breakage.
 Then the sun of November and De cember may shine with ardor anc stimulate the hen to unusual indus try. Egg production in winter is . variable quantity depending on nu, merous factors. If large, the price O. fresh eggs will thold somewhere with l in the range of reason. Then the , general average of prices may decline And, as happened to some extent las l winter, people may have so ntcf
 money that they, as a rule, will in i sist on getting fresh eggs at any price There were times during the last fev months when storage eggs moved sluggishly at prices from 25 to 8 l cents a dozen below new-lafd egg 1 lowering close to a dollar a dozen.

Or motor car through a powerful magnifying glass, you will find that the surface of the axle is not smooth at all, as you may have thought. but covered with what appear to be quite large bumps or Irregularities in the surface. If you were to examine the inside of the hub of the wheel in the same way. you would find that it also is like that. Now, when you attempt to turn a wheel on the axle without oil, these little Irregularities or bumps grind against each other, producing what we call friction. As friction de- velops heat. the metal of the axle and the hub expand and the wheel gets stuck.-From the Book of Wonders, Published and Copyrighted by the Bureau of Industrial Education, Inc, Washington, D. c.

Canadian Government
Revives Old = Time
'"Crub-Stake" Rules

Ottawa, Nov. s.-The spectacular
rush of hundreds OF oil prospectors
to- the far north, where strike"
have been reported, has caused the
government to revive the old grub
stake ordinances of Yukon days.
As the Atuation threatens to be-
come serious. it is proposed to pre-
vent those who go in from be
coming charges upon the Royal
Canadian mounted police. There
fore, only those in physical condi-
ton to stand an Arctic winter and
with enough grub" to keep them,
will be permitted to go.
Discovery of oil at Fort Norman,
in the Mackenzie river basin, has
resulted in the departure of several
parties from Edmonton, Alberta,
with dog teams to stake claims in
advance of others who will travel
by the river route in the spring.
At the present time every avail
able berth on all the boats plying
to the north has been taken for the
sorinp months.

Ruse Catches Victim

Walter L. Bardsley, 50, wealthy
Pottawattamic county farmer. i.

son Memorial hospital at Council
Bluffs. suffering %from gunshot
wounds in his head and legs, as the
result of his alleged attempts to
poison the family of w. Z. thinner,
man, S.. a neighbor. living about
four miles west of Nicola, Ia.
According to the story told bv
Zimmerman to County Attorney C.
L. Swanson, four or five attempts
have been made by previously un-
identified person to poison him, his
wife and his two choldren. On one
occasion water in 4 we'll on his
farm was found to be impregnated
with bitter tasting stuff, thought
to be poison. The we'll was pumped
dry and fresh waten placed in it.
Dressed Chicken Poisoned.
Another time someone broke into
the house during the absence of the
family and tampercd with dressed
chicken, which was to be cooked for
dinner. The chicken was fed to a
cat and a dog. The cat died and the
dogs life was saved by veterinary.
Zimmerman suspected Bardsley and
reported the atteppts to the county
authorities.
Ill feeling between the two fam
lilies was caused by a dispute over
the ownership of a purebred hog
and by quarrels over the alleged
straying Of Bardsley's stock onto his
reighbor's farn. Several of Zim-
merman's cattle and hogs died from
strange n1aladies, he told the county
attorney. ~ >r
Thursday night. during the re-
ported absence of the entire Zim-
perman family from the farm, Zim-
merman lay in wait for intruders
with shotgun. He saw man enter
the barnyard and ordered him to
halt. The man dropped bag which
he was carrying and raised some
thing which, Zimmerman says,
looked like rifle. The latter opened
lire with his shotgun and then turned
a flashlight on his opponent.
Zimmerman told the county attor-
Hey that the man he saw in his barn
yard was Bardsiey, that he recog-
llizedhim by the rays of his flash
light when he was only 80 feet away.
Bardsley escaped, however, and re-
turned to his home, where he phoned
Sheriff William Groneweg at Coun-
Gil Bluffs and told him that he had
been sh6s OH his own farm by thieves
who attempted to steal his automo-
bile. He was brought to the Jennie
Edmundson hospital in this city.
suffering from wounds in his head
and lower limbs.
An information was sworn out in
Justice court yesterday by Zimmer-
man, charging Bardsley with viola
ton of the state law by mingling
poison with food. A warrant for his
arrest was Served upon him ina the
hospital, and he is held pending his
preliminary arraignment on the
charge.
The bag dropped in the Zimmer-
man barnyard was found to contain
a substance thought to be caustic
potash, a manufactured product con-
tanning lye and quick lime. A spade,
dropped by him at the same time,
according to iZmmerma, had his in
itials ~ on the handle.
