 For Military Uses

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Techni- cal investigation to determine the cause of the collapse of the ZR-2 will be left "as a matter of course" to the British air ministry, Secretary Denly said today. Only in case heavy fi- nancial loss should fall upon the Unit ed States as a result of the disaster, would a request be made to assign naval representatives of the Ameri- can navy department to the hearings.
 The sercetary's statement was ac- cepted here as formal announcement that the United States considered the airship entirely the property of the British government, with only such qualifications of this position as might be embodied in specific clauses of the purchase contract.
 High officials of the department let it become known today that they were opposed to replacing the ZR-2 through the purchase of similar type ship from a foreign government, at least until American resources and talent had been given a fair trial.
 The ZR-1, construction of which was authorized by congress when the purchase of the ZR-2 was approved was to have followed in general the Zeppelin principles, which naval ex perts hold have been thoroughly tried British constructors departed materi ally from the Zeppelin features, it was said, in turning out the ship which collapsed yesterday.

 In reaching this decision. it was ex- plained, the treasury took the atti- tude that issuance of the regulations in the face of what was regarded as certain hostile legislation would be to no purpose. especially as brewers have shown no desire to have the beer rules promulgated or to begin opera tlons before congress finally accepts or rejects the anti-beer bill.

Severed Hand Sewn On

Wilton, Iowa-To have a perfectly
good right hand, lost il, and then get
it back again is the unusual eSper-
fence of Paul Jesse, prominent far
mer residing near here.
Jesse was operating his corn
shredder Thursday afternoon. His
fingers caught in the whirling knives
and the hand was severed at the
wrist. He bled profusely and for a
time it was believed that not only
was his right hand lost but there was
danger that he might not survive.
Drs. Mason and Leith We're hur-
riedly summoned over the telephone
and their speedy arrival brought
succor to the badly wounded man.
They amputated the first finger
which was hopelessly mangled and
sewed the remainder of the hand
back on. 1t is believed that the hand
can be saved.

Bic Tax sale in Howard

County Treasurer H. NJ. Hansen
sold last Monday i72 pieces Of real
estate situated in Howard county
81 81 taxes due and unpat.aa, totaling
S6922.27. The sale was the most
fargvlly attended Of any tax sale n
many years. Every piece offered by
the treasurer was sold. The sale
started at 10 a m. and was complet-
ed before noon.
The proceedings at q tax sale are
very simple and transactions are US
ually closed without dispute or con-
troversy. The treasurer read off
the description of the piece as it is
officially published and some bidder
says takes, interests and costs and
the piece is declared sold, which
means that the successful bidder
pays the taxes due interest on taxes
from the first of last April and the
costs of advertising and Is given
tax certificate which is practically a
mortgage against the property. If
the owner of the property does not
pay the taxes within three years the
treasurer may issue to the holder of
the certificate tax deed to the pro-
perry.
For several years following the
wheat failures in the late seventies
tax sales were big events, but late
years they have been very mild af-
fairs and only few pieces sold.
The sale this year as it effects
the county means that the treasurer
will have at his immediate disposal
about $1,000 with which to pay over
due warrants and other obligations
of the county.-Cresco Times.

GROWTH OF CHRISTMAS TREE
Abandoned Farms in Foothills Of
Green Mountains in Vermont Pro-
vide the Yuletide Sprouts.

~ INCE five million Christmas
81 trees are annually shipped out of
Vermont, it is only natural to
wonder where they all come from.
They must come from farms-not
farms operated to produce the Christ
mas tree crop but abandoned farms
where the trees have planted and
reared themselves.
These abandoned farms lie in high
valleys In the foothills of the Green
mountains. One may see sections COW
cred by thirty-odd farms, once thriv-
ing settlements. but now all but two
or three may be unoccupied. Such
land, once under the pillow is gradual
ly coming back 10 forest. Along the
fern-choked, fsintly-traced burrows,
young spruees come up and In the
open sunshine take on a vivid green.
And more than that-the symmetrical
branches are lively green clear to the
ground.
Christmas trees cannot be cut in
areas Of spruce forest. because when
they grow in dense clusters the I'M
der branches die for want Of light,
and hence the trees have no value as
decorative Christmas trees.
