NAIVE TRIBE LITTLE KNOWN
TehucIehes of Patagonia Have Many
of the characteristics OF North
American Indians.

Many are the strange and interest.
Ing native tribes that are found in the
Americas. Among the most interest
ing are the people Of the ostrich, who
inhabit an almost as yet unknown
country, and in language, and char
acter, and race, are altogether diff
tinct from other Indians, says an a.
ticle on people Of the Ostrich" In
BOYS life. They live in the remote
and almost legendary regions OF the
land of large-feeted men'-a land,
that like Chilli, Peru, Mexico, and
northwest South America, has its
story of the existence of hidden city
among the une1plored wilds of their
CordilleraS.

is as important in their existence as
the guanaco, for they are a race OF

breaches FROM AN AiRPLANE
Minister With Many Parishes to Cover
Puts Modern Mode OF Travel
to Good Use.

No tolling church bells announce to
the little communities scattered
through one section of Americas great
Northwest the periodic Sunday morn
ing arrival of the regions most en-
terprising itinerant evangelist. In
stead, they hear the coughing exhaust
Of an engine, as his airplane spirals
down upon the village. Drawn IRE
sistibly by the novelty Of the visit, they
flock to the airplane, now at rest in a
nearby field or meadow. They find
the preacher on his feet in the pilots
cockpit of the plane "Sky Pilot" ready
to begin his discourse.
Explanation of this strangest OF all
the airplane's uses Is found in the
evangelist's decision, some months ago,
that the time and energy required for
constant travel among distant parishes
was seriously curtailing his effective
ness. He decided to defy all precedent
by allying aeronautics and religion. He
first subjected himself to rigorous
course of training, and became an ac-
complished airman. He then pur-
chased his plane, selecting three

pit seats the pilot, and serves as his
pulpit when the meetings are held In

GEORGIA FEELS
FORCE OF HAIL

Macon, Ca, March 1n.-Violent
hail storms appear to have struck
the western part of Georgia this af-
ternoon, causing damage all the way
from Box Springs, eight miles west
Of here into Alabama. Trees and
wires are down.
A passenger train arriving here at
5:25 o'clock this afternoon from
Montgomery, Ala, had two windows
broken by the hail. It was also hail
ing at Worth, Ca, south of here at
6 p. m.
The hailstorm that struck Cusseta
and Box Springs in Western Geor-
gia appears to have moved east

A heavy fall of hail was reported
at Americas tonight.
At Abbeville, in Wilcox County,
hailstones measuring five and a half
inches were picked up some time af-
ter the storm. The ground was COM
pletely covered with hailstones. No
serious damage was reported. On

TREAT YOUR SWEET
POTATO SEED
WITH FORMALDEHYDE

1t is now time to bed sweet pota-
toes for plants the coming season.
Due to the fact that there is a con-
siderable loss of sweet potatoes that
can be attributed to the diseases
carried from storage to the beds. and
fields, sweet potatoes should by all
means be treated before bedding. It
| is a fact that from so per cent to rs
per cent of the entire 100000 bu-
shells IF sweet potatoes grown in
South Carolina each year is lost
through poorly disease selected seed
disease plants infected plants and
from improper storage. Think of A.
100000 bushels of sweet potatoes
thrown away each year, merely by
neglecting the above mentioned
facts. South Carolina produces
enough potatoes to supply her
needs, but because of the fact we
lose over SO per cent of our entire
crop each year through rot we have
to import potatoes.
Every potato that is bedded this
year in Abbeville County should be
treated with a solution of formalde-
hyde and water. Go to your druggist
and purchase a small quantity of
formaldehyde, which is 40 per
cent solution of formain, and treat
your potatoes before bedding. Use
one pint of formaldehyde to 80 gal
Ions of water and soak the potatoes
in this solution for five minutes.
The formaldehyde solution will kill
all disease germs on the potatoes.
Remember the strength is one pint
of formaldehyde to 80 gallons of
water, and soak the potatoes for
five minutes.

The Chefs Daily Manicure.

One of the daily events n the life
Of a chef in any Of the large New
York hotels is his morning manicure.
Before he touches food, his hands are
carefully washed and his nails are
cleaned, cut and polished.
The job is not given to sweet girl
manicurist, but to one Of the hotel
physicians. He Is always on hand
during the day; should the chef acci-
dentally cut himself, the doctor will
bandage the wound, as he Is there for
that purpose.
Chefs are precious these days; many
of the French ones-unable to get
their daily bottles Of wine-have gone
back to France, where the thought Of
prohibition can still be treated as a
joke, though even in France there are
heard ominous rumbles between the
jokes passed at our e1pense.-Populal

To Jail by AirpIane.

Aerial policemen in San Francisco
are thus far the first to make use Of
the airplane to conduct prisoner to
iail, via the automobile patrol.
The sky route offers the most direct
passage between two places, and in
this instance the prisoner was trans
ferred from the Alexandra county jail
across the bay Of San Francisco to the
locality where an automobile patrol
was waiting to continue the journey
through the city. Where 1t is neces-
sary to save time, the airplane can
be of service, as in this case.
When the air becomes crowded with
machines, the arrest Of violators Of
the air-trnffic laws will undoubtedly
becorle common and aerial patrols
will no longer excite comment.-Pop

COUNTY AGENT
ORGANIZES COMMUNITY
AGRICULTURAL CLUBS

With the assistance of Mr.. B. o.
Williams, Assistant State Club
Agent, I have organized several
Community Boys Agricultural
Clubs in the County. The object of
these clubs will be primarily to pro-
mote farm life. It is planned to hold
monthly meetings with the clubs, at
which a definite program dealing
with different phases Of farming, will
be recited by the boys. There is
nothing trper than Knowledge is
Power" and as soon as the farmer
acquires the proper knowledge OF
scientific farming and an apprecia'
ton of farm life, we will be living
an,ist a New South. It is also plan.
ned to give the boys belonging to
these clubs entertainments of vari'
Gus kinds. Farmers are too isolated.
that is, they don't have their socia!
gatherings and amusements that we
see in the towns and cities. The boys
will be urged to play baseball and
football and basketball and other
games, fishing trips and picnics will
be given.
The following clubs have been or
ganized:
Donalds Boys Community Agri-
cultural Club:
Preident, Herbert Williamson
Vice-President, Haynie MeDonalds;
Secretary, Truman May. The mem
bers are, Alex Brown, Kinard Rasor,
Wilford Martin, Hayward Poore,
Clifton Dodson, Mark Pruitt, and
Eugene DeVore.
Midway Boys Community Agri-
cultural Club.
Officers are: Carl Wright, Presi-
dent; Hubert Grant, Vice President;

The future Of the world depends
primarily upon the proper training
Of the boys and girls. They will be
the future ministers, doctors, farm
ers, lawyers and mothers of the
world. The world will hang in their
hands. May we put forth every ener-

ing the forenoon. Animal Husbandry
and Horticulture and Farm Manage
ment allow for two credits while
English Shop work, or others are
taken in the morning. Home projects
must be included in the coure. 1t is
not necessary that the student should
have had any previous training in

There are no tuition charges for
this course and it is free. The only
expense will be for room and board,

Clague Explains
Vote on Tax Bill
MAN OPPOSES BILL WHICH RE-
DUCES LEVY ON RICH, AND
DOES NOTHING FOR POOR.

Because Of objections to the remoy-
al of the surtaxes in the Fordney tax
bill, ten northwestern members voted
to recommit the tax bill and to report
it back with surtaxes unchanged, as
was proposed by the democrats.
On the final vote for the passage
of the bill Representative Frank
Clague voted against it. Explaining
his vote Representative Clague said:
Il voted against the tax bill because
it gives relief to the wealthy and does
nothing for the poor man. I dislike
very much to take stand against the
party, but what kind of an explana-
tion could make to the people of the
second district if I voted to cut down
the taxes Of the rich and did not help
the little fellow at all.

take in not permitting. direct vote

ton. If they had given us vote on
these provisions I would have been
willing to vote for the BILL"

SECRETARY OF STATE NOTIFIES
SHERIFF AND LOCAL AUTHORI-
TIES TO PROSECUTE EvADERs.

Violators of the new Minnesota
motor vehicle license law face pro-
secution following notices sent by
Secretary of State Mike Holm this
week to Sheriff L. j. Kise of Redwood
county and all local police officials.
Motor vehicles owners who attempt
to evade payment of the tax or misuse
license certificates and plates are to
be charged with misdemeanors. The
most serious offense listed is that of
attempting to evade the tax.
Asserting that ample time has been
allowed for compliance with the law
Secretary Holm added that it is only
fair to those who have paid their just
shares of the tax that others be re.
quired to do their part and pay the
penalty of neglect or delay. Specia
instructions cover misuse of license
plates, notably those issued to dealers
for use only on demonstration cars
and the use of plates from other
states on Minnesota-owned cars.
Passenger cars, busses and hearses
must carry blue tags, the "a" plates
being for those paying the $12 mini.
mum and the "B" plates for those
paying a higher tax. Trucks carry

braces all motor vehicles carrying
other things than passengers, includ-
ing roadsters equipped with boxes
Dealers plates bear the letter I'D
and trailers weighing over 1,0OC
pounds must have "Z" tags.
Reports of many alleged violations
are reaching Secretary Holm's office
and will be referred to local authori-
ties for investigation if necessary
But the secretary believes that the
sheriffs and marshals will perform
their duties without favor. One COM
plant was that eighteen cars in use
in a small town carry plates which
can be lawfully used only on dealers
demonstrating cars. Other are that
plates are being procured in adjoin-
ing states to evade the Minnesota tax

State Fair Has
Farm Bureau Day
PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL FED
GRAFTON ON TOUR OF
MINNESOTA.

Wednesday, September Z, will be
Farm Bureau Day at the state fair,
according to letter received by Of
ficers Of the county farm bureau from
headquarters Of the state federation.
James R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
have been invited to address mass
meeting of farm bureau members in
the afternoon. Other speakers will
review the work of the farm bureau
In cooperative marketing and legis-
lation. The mass meeting will be
conducted in the livestock hippodrome,
beginning at II noon, so that farmers
will be able to attend the meeting
without missing the livestock Judging
or the races
Two other important farm bureau
conferences are to take place in state
fair week. On Thursday, September
8, the directors of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation, representing all
county farm bureaus which are mem-
bers OF the state organization, will
meet in the agricultural building for
an all day business session. On Fri
day, Joint committee of farmers and
bankers will meet at state headquart-
ers of the federation, in the Old Capt.
tol, st. Paul, to discuss organization
of an agricultural finance corporation
to provide additional credit for pro-
ducing and marketing Minnesota
crops.
These three meetings, farm bureau
officers say, will mark the elimination
of year in which the farm bureau
in Minnesota has grown from 10000
members to more than $4,000.
The state farm bureau will have an
office in the main agricultural build
ing on the state fair grounds all week,
according to word received by the
county bureau.
President Howard is now on a tour
of southern and central Minnesota
speaking at series of county fairs.
He was scheduled to speak at the
Steele county fair at Owatonna on
Aug. 30, at the Lyon county fair at
Marshall on Aug. 81, and at the
Traverse county fair at Browns Valley
on Sept. 1. The Stearns county fair
at Sauk Center Sept. is the last on
this tour. Mr.. Howard is going from
Sauk Center to Des Moines, and is ex-
pected to return to address the farm
bureau mass meeting at the state fair
grounds on Sept. Z.
Mr.. Howard is serving his second
term as president of the American
Farm Bureau federation, which now
numbers million and quarter farm
ers in AZ states of the union. Senator
Capper is one of. the, outstanding
| figures in the fight for legislation to
improve agricultural conditions. In
case either Mr.. Howard or Senator
| Capper is unable to come, John g.
! Brown, president of the Indiana Farm
Bureau federation, and one Of the
directors Of the American federation
| probably will speak.

for Labor Day, Sept. 5

lent game is coming.
The band boys are entitled to fine
attendance at this game with the full
financial and moral support Of the en-
tire community. While The city pays
certain amount each year toward the
support of the band this entire amount
is used to pay the salary of the in
structor and therefore the service of
the Individual members is given free
OF charge, fact that is not always re-
cognized by those who listen to the
music played. There are always in
cidental expenses such as new music
etc. and it is to 'defray these expenses
that the Band will use the net pro-
ceeds of the Labor Day celebration
The members feel, and quite rightly
that they have not had the heartiest
OF support and cooperation in their
various enterprises during the past
few months, and they are now asking
the full support Of their townspeople
During the evening the band will
play for dancing on the paved streets
of the business section, a portion OF
which will be roped off for this pur-
pose. This is the first street dance
the city has had an opportunity to en-
JOY since the completion of the paw
ing and will undoubtedly be greatly
enjoyed by all the young people OF
this vicinity. An air plane which will
carry passengers will also be present
during the afternoon and .early even
ing for those who may wish to ride.
