Fences and bitches.

Wall Lake, Iowa Victor Staab's

without driver Tuesday evening,
travelling about one-half mile from
the starting place.
Mr.. Staab stopped the car at the
top Of the cemetery hill to take in
a passenger, but in stopping the
car, 'kiIled the engine" Owing
to the self starter being out of con-
dition, he got out TO crank the car,
leaving the engine in low.
When he cranked it, of course the
car started. 1t knocked its owner
out Of the way, fortunately not
manning him, even, and began q
wild and riotous exploration Of the
country side.
It plunged down hill but after
travelling a few yards, like many q
man, it abandoned the straight aad
narrow road, tore through wire
fence and began trying new pas
lures. 1t veered off into corr
field, passed through another wire
fence and explored another anC
greener pasture. Then it made ar
other turn and started directly fol
large drainage ditch.
I II succeeded in reaching the ditCl
and plunged head first into it. TIL,
/ front of the car was nearly coveret
with mud and water, but, strang,
to say, the damage was slight.
1t required a tractor and fort.

The passenger who was picked a

the car soon after it passed through

NORWAY STRAVING SAYS IOWA

Too Much Prosperity, Says

Marshalltown, Iowa Norwegian
Americans in this country will be
interested in the story that L. T.
Idso, of this city brings from Nor
way, of the terrible conditions that
exist in that country as the direct
result of too much prosperity during
the late war.
Mr.. Idso reached home yesterday
after a stay of six months in Nor
way, his native country. His prin-
cipal sojourn was at Stavanger, a
city of $4,000 people, which has
had to establish soup kitchens at
the expense of the public to keep
alive the many who are on the
verge of starvation.
Idso says that during the war all
industry and trading were at such
heights, and people had so much
money, thet they spent it to the
extent that many saved ncliihg
They thought the good times would
continue forever.
Now that industries have closed
down because of strikes and labor
troubles of different sorts, and
there is no shipping because of the
strikes, business is at a standstill
the people are without money to
buy food, and many are in danger
of actual starvation.

GET ORGANIC MATTER: The
greatest need of southern soils
is organic matter. The cheapest
way to get it is to grow it. Winter
cover crops afford one of the eco
nomic.al means for growing green
manure to produce organic matter,
for the reason that they occupy the
land when otherwise it would be idle,
and they utilize nitrogen that ether
wise would be lost thru teaching and
erosion. A cover crop can be turned
under in time to be followed by corn,
cotton and other summer-growing
crops; and furthermore, much of the
liant food in the green manure will
be available for the summer crops.

debar his pictures before he has been given fair
trial is both foolish and unjust Should it develop
that he is innocent the American people will have
committed serious wrong against him if they per-
sist in their present efforts to debar his pictures
upon the grounds of assumed guilt If he is proven
guilty it will then be time to osracise him from the

Motion Picture Men Get Wild Game Life
 In Interior Alaska

Two motion picture men. c. s. Horner, ot Eaton Rapids, Mich., and H. N. Nelson, of Detroit, passed through Juneau on the Ala meda for the States. The two men have been in the kantishna district, where they spent two months taking moving pictures of animal life in that region which they will later re- lease in the form of series of edu- cational pictures for use in the pub- lie schools.
 It will be remembered that the two men were at Whitehorse in June taking pictures of the White Pass Railway, the Yukon, and diff terent towns along the way. Upon arriving at Nenana they secured the services of Charles lngersoll and Joe Clark, with Elam Harnish as guide, and Iourneyed into the hills for the purpose of securing sheep pictures. Mir. Nelson states that it rained nearly every day they were out and that the mosquitoes and flies were so numerous as to make the trip uncomfortable.
 They obtained some splendid pie lures of game and birds. with close ups of ptarmigan and grayling, which they had caught by the hand. The ptarmigan became so tame by frequent handling that they were pest. Many caribou and moose were seen, and the party had fresh meat in abundance. MT. Nelson stated that the caribou came within 50 feet of his camera, and that he had no difficulty in killing meat needed with a Lugar pistol. The party had no exciting adventures, seeing no bears and barring the wet weather and insects had a very fine trip.

Dare Devil Louisiana Man Put Real Thrills Into Campaign for

When Anthony Kelley was dis charged from the navy in New Or leans, La. he found the life of land lubber terribly devoid of thrill and peril. He had been going 10 sea since the age of fifteen and he missed the dizzy heights of the crows nest and hair-raising trips on the ropes far above the deck.

He climbed a flag pole atop the city hall. several hundred feet above the pavement and rocked back and forth trying to break the pole. A net stretched below was all that was between the daring Le- terrain.
 Kelley was unable to break the flag pole, however. So he scaled an eight een-story building and hung from the coping by his toes. Film companies rushed camera men to take motion pictures of the feat and the Legion membership drive was success.
