 Hubby and I left Willimantic Dec. 1st at Il a. m.. Our best friends came to the house and went to station With us in all that rain We went to Hartford and waited for our train to take us to Springfield where we took the Pullman for Chicago. At 5:15 we were Tn Spring. field waiting for the second section of our train. It took us six hours to get fifty miles from home. It was a miserable rain day, but we reached Chicago all right had to transfer from Michigan Central station to Santa Fe station. about a mile We were due to leave Chicago at g p. m.. but at p. m. we were waiting for the second section of our train. At last we were ready and started for Los Angeles without any more change of cars. When daylight came we were near Kansas City. Then it was Kansas all day and that was a nice day, but the next morning 1t was des- ert until we got almost to Pasadena. We could sec the mountains with snow or i them. Before we got to Pasadena such beautiful orange groves The trees were !, loaded with fruit We were told they would be ready to pick in February. bu they have plenty of oranges now What we pay soc. 9Oc and sf.oO for in the eas are 40 cents here.
 We met some very nice people on oul trip and hope to meet them again. A: some were from Providence R. l., we may meet again.
 When I tell you how many engineers l it took to get our train here you won wonder why you don't get freight. took fourteen engineers with their mel to take one section to Chicago.

BUSINESS MEN
 FLY 10 HOMES
 IN AIRPLIANES !

NE WORK, July 26 (by Associat- ed Press).-About 100 business men scattered throughout the United States more Or less regularly fly in airplanes between their homes in the country, at the mountains or the shore to their city offices, according to an estimate of the Manufacturers Air craft Association. The number of itin- erant aerial "taxi-drivers" who carry passengers on short but remunerative flights is placed at some 300.
 There is a steadily increasing de- mand for aircraft of the commercial type" says a report made to the Asso- citation, "but, contrary to some pub lished reports, the demand does not equal the supply. Factories now in operation in the United States could construct ten times the number of aircraft which optimists estimate would be required this year."
 A trip throughout the country taken by representatives of the Association revealed some interesting uses to which aircraft are being put. "In Seattle during the tourist season" :" the investigators reported, "a passen- ger airp1ane makes daily runs over and around Mount Ranier, flying at 10000 feet, some 5000 feet above the mountain.
 At Santa Barbara seaside resort flying boat is in daily operation over the channel, two of it's most interest ing passengers during the early part of this year having been the King and Queen of Belgium. Regular flights are being conducted over Southern California with a baby blimp.
 There is considerable agitation for an extension of the aerial forest patrol of California, which has been instrumental in protecting life and property from fire loss The Califor- nit Rice Growers Association, which last year established service pat termed after the forest patrol over 16,O00 acres of rice lands, has en- larged this service to guard double that acreage.
 1.-Two flying boats are being used for transporting supplies from Seattle to mining company in British Col umbia"

 SAY GERMANS
 VERY TRICKY

CHRIsTIANIA, July 26 (by Asso- l ciated Press). Norwegian business men have protested to the Berlin gov ernment against alleged trickery of German commercial concerns whose failure to deliver to Norwegians goods bought and paid for started official and unofficial inquiries which led the Norwegians to believe the delinquen- cies were deliberate.
 Commercial intercourse between Norway and Germany had been stead fly increasing, due to the low ex- change rate on Germon money until recently when number of Norweg- ian concerns were notified by the Germans with whom they had placed large orders that the merchandise could not be delivered because 'the government had placed special export taxes which prohibited exportation at prices at which the goods had been sold"
 The Germans are said to have de- manded additional sums ranging from 50 to 100 per cent of the prices they had quoted before they would fulfill their contracts.
 The Norwegians frequently were compelled to pay the additional sums, having contracted to sell elsewhere the German products. However, com plaints that Germans were using this method to evade the unfavorable rate of exchange became so frequent that Norwegian commercial organizations made representations to Berlin, and it is said the Berlin government is- sued a statement that official cog niZance would be taken of sharp prac- tices by German business men in their international dealings. The govern ment denied the export taxes com plained of had been levied, or that other restrictions had been placed on export trade.
 Newspapers here for several weeks have carried editorial criticisms of German business methods since the war, and several trade papers have de- clared the Germans eventually must feel keenly the effect of commercial trickery," they were alleged tohave practiced
 There also is a widespread com- plaint against the German life insur- ance companies operating in Norway and the Norwegian foreign office has been petitioned to protect policy hold CTS who, it is charged have paid in marks when the policies call for pay ment in kroner. Hundreds of thous- ands of German life insurance policies are held here, especially among far mers
 Tn this connection it is pointed out that whereas 45,0oo kroner, an aver age life insuranse policy, before the war equalled 5000 marks, the rate of exchange now made such policy worth 375,000 marks.

M0DOC INDIAN SAVED WHEAT0N'S COMMAND
 FROM MANIPULATION

ALTURAS, Cal, July 24 (by Asso- ciated Press).-Charley Faithful, the Modoc Indian who years ago, saved the remnant of General Wheatons command from annihilation during the war of the lava beds, still lives on the Klamath Indian Reservation near here and draws a pension from the government. He is now blind.
 On January IF, 1875, General Wheaton attempted to override the stronghold of the Indians, but was repulsed with the loss of forty-one of his command. Caught in the mazes of the lava beds, it is believed that every man would have perished but for Charley Faithful. On a pitch dark night Charley piloted the sol diers to line of bluffs several miles distant, where they were able to make successful stand.

TRAVELLED WITH JESSE JAMES

c. w. Miller, one of the earliest
settlers of western Kansas, has among
his travels of early days, the follow
ing experience as told by the Ellis
County News
Mr.. c. w Miller, ST., of this place
tells a most interesting story
about travelling in Eastern Kansas,
visiting Independece, Parsons, Cher
ryvale and Neodasha, with a ssMr
Howard" his travelling companion,
who represented himself as a fellow
traveling-man, selling lumber. Mr..
Miller at the time was a travelling
representative for farm machinery
company and had his headquarters at
Kansas City, Mo-, where his family
also lived. On this trip. of which
Mr. Miller speaks, he and Mr.. How
ard" ate dinner at the NOTORIOUS
Bender home nearCherryva1e, as did
travellers who were going by stage
from Cherryvale to Parsons or other
points along the line. Mr. Miller
sat with his back against the canvass
sheet in front of which SO many of
the Bender victims received their
fatal blow Upon returning to Kan
sas City, Dir. Miller discovered that
his travelling companion, sMr How
ard, lived but three houses north of
his residence on Forest Avenue, and
there he saw him many times during
the succeeding three weeks "The
last time I saw him." saidMr Miller
was the evening he and his compan-
ION swooped down and robbed the
gate-man at the Kansas City fair
ground, the day Flora Temple the
famous racing mare of New York
mad made record upon the Kansas
City track 1t happened that was
standing but five feet from the treas
urer who had the money-box chucked
under his arm; an you can imagine
my surprise when saw Mr. Howard
leap from his horse, grab the box
and dash away with his companion
Mr. Ford, and it was then I under
stood that the Mr.. Howard I travelled
with as a lumberman and whose mar
Vicious craftsmanship had seen dem
onstrated on the trip, turned out to
be Jesse James That was the last
we ever saw of the Howard family.
Jesse James was most pleasing per
son for a travelling companion. I
snail not forget how he would drop a
ouzzard even now and then as we
drove from Independence to Media
sha that first day, using his blue bar
reled Colt revolver. I think he must
have killed ten, at distances of 25 to
80 yards, shooting from the buggy. as
the team trotted along and he didn't
miss a single time He would saw
Now watch me drop that fellow ana
down would come Mr.. Buzzard. He

CUT OUT THE CIGARETTES

lime was in this country when if
the dlstlliers and manufactures of
hard drinks had been willing To
submit to necessary regulation, they
might have been allowed to continue
IN existence, for a considerable per
1od, at least. But instead of that
the booze interests defied law and
when they dared, avoided law when
they were afraid to defy it, and were
generally at the bottom of most of
the mischief and deviltry in the com
munity.
The result is that the country is
dry and will stay dry.
The way to hasten the adoption Of
a law prohibiting the use of tobacco
IN all forms is to trif1e with the en-
Iorcement of the law against cigar
cites
The general opinion is that cigar
| cites are the most harmful form in
winch tobacco is prepared: CHIEFLY.
perhaps, because cigarettes are an
aiiurlng form of temptation to vouno
boys and even girls. Probably cigar.
cites are no more dangerous thar
other forms of tobacco to the grown
man But the boys, who should moi
smoke at all, generally smoke cigar
| cites.
Hence, Kansas passed Law
| against It, and the Supreme court
| says that it is a good law, and must
be enforced
| cigarette propaganda is being pour
eo INTO the papers by the wholesale.
A story of Harding receiving the cleo
ton returns while smoking cigarettes
Is simply sample of propaganda.
Many of the pictures ofHarding pub
hshed in the daily papers show him
smoking cigarettes It is an effort to
make cigarette smoking appear re-
spectacle The fact is Harding does
not smoke at aH--Howard Courant

The thing for Kansas merchants
Co do IS to see that the law is en-
forced so far as their own stores are
concerned. A persistent and con-
einuaI effort to evade this law will
undoubtedly lead to an effort to in
troduce complete prohibition of the
use of tobacco in any form-Mer-
