Located After Two Months
Cruise In I2oWboat
Associated Press Dispatch ]

Washington, D. c., September 2S-
Sighted by Chesapeake Bay fishermen,
five miles off Norfolk, Va, in an open
rowboat in which they had been cruis-
ing the waters of the bay and the
Potomac river for sixty three days,
William A. Spencer, er soldier, and
his ten year old daughter, Cora Flea
nor, were later located by a police
launch and brought to that port Sat
urday after a nation wide search fol-
lowing their mysterious disappearance
from this city. Finding of the father
and daughter was made known at POI
lice headquarters today after notifica-
tion from the Norfolk authorities.
A wife, who, waiting with four 9TH
er children for their return, had
grown frantic in her fruitless efforts
to locate husband and daughter, has
joined Spencer at Norfolk, and they
are returning friday to their home in
Baltimore. Spencer and his daughter
dropped ont Of sight when he came
to Washington late in July to take her
nome after ayvisit here. His story of
their mysterious two months cruise
in the rowboat along the river and
bay. revealed that they usually trav-
elled by night and suffered from scant
food and inadequate clothing. Spen-
Ger was decorated for distinguished
service during the war. Neither Spen-
Ger nor his wife. according TO Wash
ington police, have given any reason
for his strange actions.

st. Paul, September 2S.-Represen-
tative Sydney Anderson of Minneso-
ia, chairman Of the joint congression-
al committee, appointed TO investigate
agricultural conditions, outlined rem
edies for farmers, difficulties, in a
statement prepared for the farm bu
reau federations, and received today
by the Minnesota federation here. "A
program for the future developme ent
of agriculture" Mr.. Anderson said,
must have for its basis sound, ac-
curate and current agricultural sta

Declaring that the well>being of
agriculture during the last thirty
years, has relatively improved, COM
pared with other industries, the chair
man Of the congressional inquiry con-
cluded that Notwithstanding this i'm
proyement, the rewards of agriculture
on the whole have been relatively less,
both for the capital invested and the
labor employed, than they have been
in other Industries"

Is, of course. considerable opposition
to the plan in the State of New York,
but that is to be expected for obvious
reasons. Government engineers have
investigated the proposition and have
made public their report which shows
that this improvement is feasible and
can be made at moderate cost.
1t was also decided to order 100
pairs of metal automobile pennants
or license tag plates. The word
"Mankato" will appear on these plates
which are to be affixed to the automo-
bile license tag. Generous use OF
these pennants will give Mankato
some very desirable publicity. They
are very neat and attractive, and will

Boston. September 2S.-Care has

ular as an automobile, Ida M. Tarbel
of New York told the delegates to the
National Safety Council here last
night. Il am not here to talk about
the new area of work which women
in the war added to that already held. .
Miss Tarbell said, "but rather that Il
consider the possibility of rallying to
the work of the council a great body
or women entirely outside of indus
try itself but responsive to appeals
for public service, and many of them
power and influence quickly on tasks
which appeal to their imaginations
and to their hearts.
"The psychological effect of the
present Indifference to safety in our
streets and on our highways cannot
be ignored by industry. The wanton
recklessness of the road dulls the at
tention and interest Of the industrial
worker, puts premium on taking a

What is considered a most impor-
tant step was taken by the city ,coun-
Gil last night when 1t decided to pur-
chase property to the north of the
present Mankato armory 80 as to
permit Of the armory being enlarged
some sixty six feet. In order to do
this the property of A.. Lindelaube,
lot 4 block "a. has been contracted
for at price Of $4,000, Mr.. Linde-
laube to have the privilege of retain
ing the heating plant pipes, etc., in
his home. Councilman Lack and
Kleinschmidt stated that they had
closed the deal with the owner for
that amount. According to armory
regulations, this means that the city
Of Mankato will have to pay to the
state an additional $4,000. That is
$1,000 for each military company To-
Gated here, and the state In return
will appropriate $4,000 for each
company so located. making the en-
tire appropriation $4,000. Members
Of the city council think 1t very

state an appropriation Of $4,000 to-
ward the construction of the build
