World War Isn't Over for These Two

~ HEYENNE, WYO.-It's far call
from the war-torn Germany OF
1915 to the peaceful Chugwater

attempt to rob the state bank of Chug-
water by himself and his ally, Herman
]. Kusel, in declaration OF war
against America and all things Ameri-
can. Kusel, old enough to be Flinders
father-grim, taclturn, fidgeting from
the sting of more than 800 birdshot
In his back and arms-listened to his
Young confederate's disconnected mar
ratiye and affirmed outstanding points
by interoplating cultural sentences.
Kusel. fifty-five years old. Swiss by
birth, was shot down and captured at
Chugwater. Pfinder, plunging into a
thicket, escaped for the time. made
his way afoot, by automobile and by
train 40 miles to Bushnell, Neb., In
26 hours, and there was arrested by
pursuing officers in clothing store
which he and Kusel had established as
q base for their campaign against
American law and order.
Kusel, when the war broke out. was

Mrs. Taylor was born In Scotland.
She says she began curing people when
she was eight years old. She has lived
in the United States for eight years,
but only five months at Canton. I'D

have visited her has reached into the
hundreds.
"They come to me so fast l cannot

any of them, or my power would leave
me. I never take money from those

to help me, that is all right"
This is her standard formula for

Florence dances with so many men

S"'"'' There was not a
boy and there was not a girl who
didn't think Professor was the very
finest and the very best they Had ever
known.
For not only had Professor taught
everyone to swim, he had told them
many things which must be done I'M
der certain circumstances and others
to be done under other circumstances.
And there was nothing brave, ne main
tanned, about being foolhardy.
Professor had told them never to |
change places i'm a boat when out on |
the lake, never to stand up in boat, |
never to go in swimming soon after !
eating-never to go in swimming eat
ing anything such as "chewy" car
amel. For if one should get little
water in the mouth and then start to
choke the caramel would only encour-
age the water coming III the mouth,
as it insisted upon the mouth being
open when choking!
Professor had never pushed anyone
in the water. He had never thrown
anyone above their depth. He had al
ways said that fear of the water
was one of the worst things to have
. and that everyone with that fear OF II
had to be shown gently and patiently
that the water was not dangerous.
Now Campbell and Graham were
two boys who were very fond of ca
noeing. Campbell had only recently
come to the town by the lake where
the professor had his swimming
classes. He knew how to swim and he
knew a great deal about boats too. for
his family had always been navy
people.
One afternoon late in the autumn
Campbell and Graham went canoeing.
Most of the boats had been put up
for the yinter-even the docks had
been taken in. After they had been
out but short time a sudden storm
came up.
The storm became worse and worse.
The winds from the surrounding hills
skirted over the lake and it was all
the boys could do to keep the canoe
steady. They cut the waves and went
against the wind toward home
But when they were out in the very
middle of the Lakeland the shore was
more than mile away at either side
Of them, q sudden squall came which

and over, over they went!

they were both in the water and that
