HAY FEVER SEASON
Is AGAIN AT HAND

fNo-tllOO.
The annual hay fever season of.
ficially opened today.
All orthodox members of the Order
of the Great Sneeze will start ka-
chooing and will ka-choo and ka-
choo until frost. They will display
the white handkerchief, the emblem
of their organization
True, there are some who have
been red-eyed and sneezing for days
and some for weeks, but there are al
ways insurgents in any order who
will not follow the regulations. Otta-
wa physicians put tomorrow as the
official day for the opening of the sea-
son and say that from then on all
those in good standing will be demon
strating their utilization beyond ques-
ton.
Don't send them flowers, is the
physicians advice, especially the gol-
den rod, for it to the devotees of the
sneeze is as a red rag to a bull.
There are cures" for hay fever,
multitudes of them; but in spite of
this the number of those who ka-choo
through the late summer and early
fall Increases yearly and the order
grows in strength.

WITNESS IN MOTOR

MYSTERIOUS EXIT
GIRL FOUND BY THE AUTHORS.
TIES WHO KNEW OF THE TRoU-
BILE AT RIVER AMUSEMENT RE-
SORT LEAVES WITHOUT EVEN
TAKING HER CLOTHING.

Without telling the La Sale coun-
ty authorities good bye, or without
even taking her clothing with her,
Jean Paige, the witness in the Motor
Inn lysol case left the La Sale coun-
ty home, last Friday night 1t is be-
lieved that Jean departed on an in
terurban car, either for the east or
the west, but whether she went that
way or by an auto remains unsolved.
Her disappearance is shrouded in
mystery.
An unfortunate part of the hasty
exit of Jean for the La Sale county
authorities is that she was the only
real witness the state was able to
obtain to tell about the case. AT IA
hearing last week in Justice Of the
Peace koenigs court Jean told what
she knew Of Motor Inn As a result
of her testimony, Ralph Herbold of

lysol ON Frank Long, was fined 500

was the highest fine that could be eX.

charge Herbold thought it was too
high and took an appeal to the cir

The girl also testified in the case
against Herbold and Edward Koehler
charging them with keeping dis.
orderly house. Herbold and Koch
Ter was each fined 800 for operating
a disorderly house. Both took ap
peals in this case
While Jean was not under arrest
and had not been committed to the
county farm, she was being held
there as witness until such time
as the Herbold' and Koehler cases
were disposed of. Jean claims to bt
20 years of age, divorced. and {

somthing that if properly prepared

one thing. Prospects, however, for
this being accomplished on the date
of the picnic do not appear to be very

FIND BODY OF AN
UNKNOWN WOMAN
IN ILLINOIS RIVER
NOT A CLEW TO AID IN FIXING
HER IDENTITY COULD BE UN-
EARTHED BY THE GRUMPY CO.
INVESTIGATORS - BURIED IN
MORRIS.

Morris, Aug. 16.-f Special. IA
search is being instituted here to de-
termne the identity of an unknown
woman whose body was found in the
Illinois river half a mile east of
here Sunday morning. The remains
were so badly decomposed that they
bore little resemblance to a human
being The lifeless form was found
by Flody Button while he was in a
boat 1t was close to the bank and
only half covered by water.
Dr. w. G. Sachse, coroner, held an
inquest at the Davis morguh this
morning which resulted in a verdict
that the woman came to her death
from a cause unknown to the jury.
20 to 80 Years Old.
The woman appears to have been
20 to 80 years old, five feet six inches
TALL weight about 800 The face is
in such condition that no details re-
garding it could be ascertained and
the hair is gone SO far as could be
seen, there were no marks of violence
on the body. A pair a. shoes worn
by the woman were brown in color,
with moderately high heels, and re-
Gently half-soled Practically all of
the clothing was so dscolored that
even the color was not discernable.
The teeth were fairly good, two being
out, one on each side Of the upper
jaw. There was no filling in any of
the teeth. There were some indica-
lions, the coroner stated that the
woman was in a delicate condition,
but decomposition had progressed to
a degree that made it impossible to
definitely establish that point.
The body was buried in Evergreen
cemetery, its condition preventing
keeping it while efforts are continued
to establish identity.

PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL
New Method, Said 70 Have Originated
in Russia, May Result in ReIleV-
ind Shortage.

A new method of drying turf to re-
lieve the serious fuel shortage in Fin
land has been put In operation in vari-
Gus Scandinavian countries. The new
method was invented By engineers
working under orders from the Rus
sian soviet government, to hnd a more
labor-saying method Of preparing turf
as fuel for the great central power sta
ton near Moscow, the process being
made known In Finland threugh an es-
Gaping engineer. The fundamental
principle Of the process is quito sim
pie. The raw turf IN the swamp, by
powerful Jet Of water under a presstre
of 20 attnOspheres. Is freed from all
old roots and changed to thin mud.
This is pumped out on a drying field
and spread In layers. When sufficient
ly dry it is cut into bricks OF uniform
size by means Of a tractor. The turf
pump is CONSTRUCTED IKE an ordinary
water turbine, Is reversible with aid Of
electric motor, 10 equipped with cut
ting apparatus which. completes the
work of the water Jet, and can be
raised or lowered as the sur Acc Ot the
mud VARIES. The entire equipment IS
mounted on car which can be pushed
forward or backward on rails along the

that neither had married. 4

Timmons did not refuse him, but she

MIR. 3eckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped
the market" FOR several years in

bought high priced bog foods and
hog remedies, but lie j. al through
paying extravagant prices for what
he can make himself. He states
that what the hogs need are mineral
and tells the secret of his wonderful
success by explaining that he takes
about five pounds OF ordinary nm
eraline (which is pure concentrated
minerals ond cost only couple OF
dollars) and mixes same with
enough bran or filler to make q
Hundred pounds. tAll hogs, and
especially brood sows require min
erals as they keep them free from
worms, and in the pink Of condi2
ton and are essential to the hogs

This inexpensive mixture placed in
