A FOXY FARMER
Collects Toll From Viewers of Air
plane Spill Near Mason City.

Mason City, Iowa-There are
thrifty persons of all kinds, using
various methods known for making
the much sought coin, but the most
novel method yet introduced in this
community was that of Farmer Dyer,
residing on the farm on which the
airplanes fell last week.
Soon after the rush Of people for
the scene of the fatal accident Dyer
had members of his family posted at
all the entrances, collecting a toll of
cents per head, autos one dime. The
next morning the rate was raised to
10 cents straight, with no reduction
for those preferring to walk in. In
spite of the charge, hundreds of
people focked. to the scene Of the ac-
cident.
Besides the main entrances how
ever there were others which sight
seers used when wishing to avoid
the paying of the required toll.
Guess III put up sign: "Please
fall herew drawled one farmer after
he had shelled out his nickel to see
the improvised sight.

MOTOR TRIPPING
Auto Tours Over the Country Gain
ing in Popularity.

1t was formerly considered the
height of luxury for people to get
out in an automobile and tour
around the country. But now many
people are doing it in a simple way
Great numbers Of them take camp
ing outfit along and sleep in the
open when the weather is good.
About all its costs them to see the
country is what they pay for gaso-
line and wear and tear on their
little tin lizzie.
1t was formerly hard to get de-
cent food at the hotels without pay
ing high prices. Hotel proprietors
conceived the idea that anyone who
operated an automobile was made Of
money.
But now that lot of hard work
ing people get out on the road with
their inexpensive cars, many plain
and homelike places have sprung up
to cater to them. A couple Of years
ago, on a well known motor road,
you could see a hundred cars lined
up daily at a place where they gave
a good dinner for thirty-fve cents.
Probably that place has raised It's
fees now, but they are far under
the price Of the costly hotel around
the corner. A lot Of wealthy motor
lists will go there rather than be
soaked.
Some people think only Of the
number Of miles they are covering
in a day. They discourse at night
about their records of time and the
condition of the roads. Such peo-
pie are driven hard by their own
They could not be con-
tented to go slowly, but to really
enjoy their trips they need a differ
ent point of view. A motor jour
ney is hardly worth the time and
money unless one returns with a
clear idea of the country and an
story of his adventures.
Those who travel in this way come
back with many suggestions Of
things that could be done here in
DEBORAH to keep our home town at
the head of the procession.

FISH STORY, BUT TRUE
Rainbow Trout Caught by o. W.
Holm After Fish Had Gotten
Away Four Day Previous.

About a week ago o. w. Holm, a
we'll known citizen of DEBORAH and a
printer of long standing, went out
near the fonner Addicken brewery
to try his luck with a rod and reel.
His luck was both good and bad
that day, as the following will test
ify, and his story we believe, be-
cause we consider the printing fra
ternity made up Of a class Of pretty
honest fellows. After casting about
for while near the brewery Mr..
Holm succeeded in landing a large
rainbow trout, but unfortunately af-
ter getting the trout on the bank
it made a leap into the air and back
into the water it landed, taking the
hook and line with it, and all Mr.
Holm had left was the reel. Of
course he was disappointed, but not
disheartened, even though he didn't
get another strike that day. So sew
eral days later, last Thursday to be
exact, Mr.. Holm went back to the
same place, with the idea that he
might possibly still land that trout
that stole so much Of his line. After
casting about for a while Mr.. Holm
got a strike and he landed what he
thought was another large trout
and it was-but it was the same
one he had caught four days pre-
vious, as Mr.. Trout had Holm's
broken line and hook securely fast
ened in its mouth.
Mr. Holm took the fish up town,
had it weighed and it tipped the
scales at Az pounds. The same kind
of a coincidence happened to Mr.,
Holm some ten years ago, when he
was fishing down near Nasset. He
landed a large trout, and lost him,
the fish breaking the line. Several
days afterwards a farmer caught
the same fish.
