Lad Does Dangerous, Stunt.

A successor to Omer Locklear, fam
cur daredevil diver, who recently
lost his life in the west, was sprung
up in Iowa. Recently an airplane
from Algona landed at Buffalo Gen.
ter to entertain the more venture
some residents of that town. Most of
the passengers glowed with pride
when they stepped out of the con-
ventional riding place, but this was
far too tame for Ivan Simmons of
Forest City. The daring youth
climbed to the top of the plane and
took place in the center of the
craft, fat on his stomach. The ma
chine took to the air. circled over
the town a couple of times with
Simmons standing up on his knees
and waving to the crowds below,
then landed. The boys eyes We're

from the breeze, but he declared il

Still in the Racing Game at Usage,
Iowa.

Usage, lathe veteran race
horse man, John Kathan, aged 70
years, is still in the game.
He is one of the oldest men to
drive in the country. He is the old
est. without doubt to drive a horse
in the races in north Iowa. He looks
no older than he did twenty years
ago. Being outdoors has done much
for him and has kept him young.
He is hale and hearty as man
OF 80.
He is driving two horses, Chef
Wind and Donnie Sullivan. Both are
fast and are bringing home the
money.

The League of Ma,

The League of Nations on the Rocks?
From present appearances it may
have been a wise Providence, rather
than a Republican Senate, that has
thus far kept the United States out
OF the League of Nations, especially
while England and France are
wrangling over Wrangel. 1t appears
as if the dissension between the two
great powers is a real one in which
the United States cannot take sides
for the very good reason that its in
terests do not lie either way
Lloyd George has beer flirting
with the Soviets for some time, his
desire being to establish trade reIa-
lions with Russia in advance of any
other country. France on the other
hand, regards the Soviet Government
as menace to the peace % Europe,
and will not even listen to arg ments
in favor of its recognition. Her reeo-
ginition of the Wrangel Government
in Southern Russia is apparently
based upon the fact thai II is anti
Soviet and should be encouraged &C.
cordingly.
The United States has, Of course,
set itself against any recognition of
the Soviet Government, and to this
extent We can sympathize with
France, but information is lacking
as yet that would enable accurate
Judgment to be formed as to the
merits of the controversy between
the two countries. 1t is possible that
III we had been in the League of Ma
tons We might have been able TO
exert some influence in this crisis
which, in fact, our State Department
has been trying to do regardless of
the fact that we are still on the out
side.
The present indication is that the
tendency Of the great powers will be
to do as they please so far as their
own interests are concerned, regard
less of the League of Nations, which
rather overcomes the fears of those
who believe that if the United States
should enter into an agreement it
would be establishing a super-gov-
eminent which might force it to act
against its will.
This appears to be the first great
test for the League of Nations, and
| if it should go on the rocks and be
wrecked so soon it will complicate
matters here, in that it will leave
the Presidential campaign without
an issue.

Dog Sought Masters Grave,

Northwood, Ia.-Much has been
told of devotion displayed by man s
canine friends and there is in North
wood an example worthy of note.
Five years ago Mr.. Kundt Lund
brought home a little shaggy haired
Dog which the family named Buddie.
This dog became the property of the
baby, Lyle then one year old.
The dog constantly trotted at the
heels of his little master. A month
ago, Lyle died. o
For while Buddy forlornly
searched around the house and yard
for his little master. At last he dis
appeared.
Search was made. Buddie was
found at the cemetery where his
faithful little heart seemed to find
comfort near the boys grave.
He was brought home only to dis
appear the next day. Now he makes
his daily pilgrimage TO Sunset Rest
unmolested by the heavy-hearted
parents, who bereaved as they are
can sympathize with the grief o.

viii Suffrage Bring Back the Ku-
KluN Khan?


Waterloo, Ia.-That the days of
the solid south" will be over and
that the ku klux gangs of antebellum
days may be reinaugurated If uni
versal suffrage becomes fact thru
lhe action of the Tennessee legisla-
ture is the opinion of political seers,
according to Hubert Miller, loco
motive engineer, who arrived yester-
day direct from Chattanooga to visit
his mother here.
He says the members of the house
who fed to Alabama following the
vote several days ago have asked
the people to assemble in mass,
meetings next Saturday and express
their opinions whether they want
only male or general suffrage.
80 far as l have been able to
CLEAN the sentiment from talks
hear along the run, opinion is about
equally divided" said Mr.. Miller
Els run is between Chattanooga and
Somerset, Ky. 1t was while he was
oIling his engine at a station in the
the mountains that Miller overheard
the threat about recognizing the kr
kiux gang.

IN RIVER YEARS NO GASP FOR
AIR.
Auto Sunk in 1913 Dragged From
Water With Air i'm Three of the
Tires.

One of the most surprising ex.
amples of tire quality, says the
Hamilton. o. Evening Journal, was
brought to light recently when the
employees of the Miami Conserv-
ancy district hauled in an old Rec
touring car on the end of their
dredge bucket near the High street
bridge right here in Hamilton.
When the car was hauled in, all
four tires We're still intact, and &C
cording to Gordon Chain, operator
of the dredge, three of them were
still inflated after spending seven
years submerged in the Miami river
All four tires were 35x4 Goodrich
Fabric tires, bearing manufacturers
date Of June, 1912.
The car itself was the property of
Mrs. George Rupp and was in a
RANT shop on North Monument Ave.
when ii was swept into the river at
the time of the 1913 food, and had
been buried in mud and debris at
the bottom of the river ever since
that time.
G. A., Prince. proprietor of the
Economy Vulcanizing and Tire Com
rany has one of these Goodrich tires
on display in his show window on
Court Street, where it can be seen
in its original condition Just as it
was dug out of the river.
The fact that three of the four
tires contained the original air with
which they were inflated in 1918 is
a remarkable tribute to the stamina
and quality inherent in Goodrich
tires and tubes" said Mr.. Prince.
