Who of you has never walked a
picket fence top? Probably you have
used clothespole as an aid to keep
ing your balance. The stunt of stake
walking, illustrated in Zig. 8, amounts
ito about the same thing, but because
the stakes are driven into the ground
they are not as firm as fence pickets,
and a lad walking across their tops
must bear much of his weight upon
poles, else the stakes will push over.
To perform the stunt, a boy must not
make misstep or knock over a stake.

in the markets of the United States
and Canada with an assurance of a
fair return on the capital invested
TEing into consideration this feat
ure Of uncertainty, the product is now
being delivered to the consumer in all
parts of the western continent in good
condition and at a fair profit, not
withstanding the adverse transporta-
tion problems confronting the entire
country throughout the season. The
accomplishment of the shipment Of q
crop of cantaloupes harvested from
.21,230 acres, commencing May oath,
when the first carload moved out, aud
continuing to July II at the close of
the season, terminated so successfully,
was due to the efforts of all railroad
and Pacific Fruit Express representa-
tiYes throughout the country and in
the concentration of their efforts to
bring about the immediate return of
the empty refrigerators from far east
ern markets until the car was again
placed for loading at the origin Of
shipments in which the railroads wecc
aided by an increase of approximately
six per cent over the minimum car
load, thus effectlng saving of 535
cars. In other words, this heavier
loading effected delivery to markets
Of a portion of the crop covering 1,070
acres that otherwise would have been
loss to growers had the distributors
not taken advantage of car saving
during a period of car shortage and
in super effort to protect the
grower, both railroad and shipper
succeeded in moving an actual ship
ment Of 9,43S cars to destinations as
a result Of the saving of 535 cars.
The shipment of 1926 carloads of
watermelons principally to western
markets took place during the same
period Of time. necessitating equal eff
fort and vigilance to supply the ven
Iilated type of cars needed.

INCREASING

j. E. Weathery, economic expert the development of
Justice, has stated that approximately S9600000000 will
be added to the nations cost Of living for the beginning
with September
He bases his prediction the understanding that the
Interstate Commerce commission Will be forced to increase
freight rates approximately $50 100000 S200000000Q
increase according to this expert is magnfied about As
times in the cost of living
Because every merchant every wholesaler every middle
every jobbed every retailer, every who handles
single product that human beings buy will add his
centage of profit top Of the increase in freight that
he will pay
He will pass to the consumer, only the increased
freight rate that necessary for the railroads to live but
additional amount of profit which Weatherly says
48 times much the freight increase itself Thus, the
consumers, instead of paying two million for food
clothing and other necessities Of life that have to be
transported by rail; will pay S9,500O0000O increase
Frankly, do not believe that such situation will
eventuate. Every indication in the economic world points
in the opposite direction.

AMERICANS PAY HIGH BOARD


BUDAPEST, Sept. 1.-THE cost of
travel for Americans in Central Eur
ope and Balkan countries is reaching
eXtortionate proportions through the
tendency to charge Americans the
same price for passport vises as that
of the American government for for
eigners which recently was increased
from 81 to $40. If this tendency is
continued, an American in the course
of few days journey passing sever
al frontiers, may have to pay $50 to
$50 in vises.
For travellers of all nationalities,
however, the charge has been rapidly
increasing during the past six
months. The Germans began the
high charges, demanding $5. Then
Austria followed suit with the same
charge and Hungary and other coun-
tries have been obliged to make like
charges. Because of the huge reve-
nue. so obtainable, passports are Sc
verely examined, more SO than in
war time.
Under pretext of obstructing Boil
shevik travel, guards at frontiers
ruthlessly turn back travellers with
out proper vises.

WHY

When hard times come and swat us,
Bringing forty kinds of woe,
And the sheriff comes and trots US,
To the courts where bankrupts go,
Then We'll wonder, OH We'll wonder,
Why, in booming, bullying times,
When the trees were growing plunder,
We refused to save some dimes.
When the times that are predicted,
BY the wise men everywhere,
Come along and we're afflicted,
With the poorhouse bill of fare,
Then We'll do some idle raving,
And We'll kick ourselves a verst,
For we didn't do our saving,
When the boom was at its worst
Now that everything seems sunny,
And our chances are the best,
It's the time to put some money,
With the nlothbals, in chest;
Put it down with cedar shavings,
So the insects won't annoy;
For the man who has his savings
Is the wisest kind of boy.
Soon this crazy boom may trundle
To the tomb in ghostly robe
Then the man who has the bundle
Is the man who'll ride the globe.

Coroner Begins Inquiry
Aviator Was Former Army
Officer and Noted for
Daring Performances

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.-An investi-
cation was begun to-day by the cor
oner's Office of the deaths of Lieu
tenant Omer Locklear and Lieutenant
Hilton Elliott, aviators, whose airplane
last night crashed to the ground near
Hollywood without having rghted
from tail spin started at height Of
1000 feet
Locklear. known as daredevil avia-
tor, was performing by searchlight in
an exhibition when the fatal accident
occurred.
Five searchlights played on the air
plane as it started into the spin, and
Lieutenant Locklear. the pilot, dropped
a rocket which he followed with the
nose of his machine
Spectators said Lockear attempted
to right his machine at a height of 200
feet, but failed as the machine burst
into flames. The plane was ignited by
the rocket, it was said.
Both aviators were dead when mo-
ton picture employees reached them a
few seconds after they struck the
ground. The bodies were burned and
mangled.
The lieutenants were in the United
States aviation service during the war
and for time were stationed together
at Fort Worth, Texas. Locklear
was born twenty-sevoM years ago at
Como, Tex. His widow lives at Fort
Worth. LIEUTENANT Elliott, twenty
four years old, was native of Gads-
Gen, Ala.
Locklear was the first man to leap
from one airD!ane 10 another while in
rull flight in mid-air. He first per-
formed this remarkable feat while act
ing as an instructor in flying at Fort
Worth (Tex,) training camp during
