HAZARDOUS TRIP
Continued from Page One)

or else their baggage would have to
stay until next winter or whenever
the next fall of snow should come
The road out of the wilderness
lay over Three Slide mountain and
through Gold River notch. The way
is rarely travelled and it\ is the
toughest kind of tote road and at
all times dangerous. The trip had
not much more than started than
the two heavy horses drawing light
sleigh in which Miss Louise Prussing
the leading woman of the company,
Mrs. Seay and Director Seay were
riding, fell down. They were got to
their. feet with difficulty and fell
down again. Additional horses had
to be secured to pull the light sleigh
up the mountain.
While proceeding along the edge
of a deep ravine and around dam
gerous curve, small avalanche,
made of snow and mud loosened by
the recent warm weather, came
down the side of the mountain, hit
the sleigh and knocked it over the
edge of the gulch. After a slide of
about 40 feet, the conveyance was
'snubbed" by some trees. This cir
cumstance alone prevented the pas
sengers, Mrs. Seay, Miss Prussing
and Warner Richmond, one of the
actors, from meeting their death.
Director Seay, William Peavey
Richard Neal, Frank Robbins and
Ray Matthews and Cameraman
Charles ellison and Eugene French
were buried under the avalanche
and were pulled out by the others.
It was estimated that about 10 loads
of snow and dirt were dumped on
the party.
During the greater part of the trip,
the men walked and this undoubted-
ly prevented another serious mis-
hap. Director Seay and some of the
others were preceding the horse
drawn vehicles and, in crossing a
bridge that spanned rushing 60
foot-wide stream, they discovered
that the supports had been washed
away at one end by the spring food
and that it would not have borne the
weight Of team. A driver sitting
on a sleigh or wagon could not have
seen the condition of the bridge.
Before the crossing of the stream
could be made, the men in the party
gathered all the logs they could and
after working some time, formed a
temporary support for the end OF the
bridge so that passage could be COM
pleted. The party made skinner
about an hour before train time and
had no further adventures on the
trip to Bangor.
Miss Prussing and Mrs. Seay were
so used up with their experiences
that they were on the verge Of hys-
terra Saturday night. Today, how
ever, they were nearly recovered
while the men were busy rubbing
out kinks and knots in their mus
cles. Director Seay declared that
the trip was a successful one.

THEY DO SPEED

II by chance you imagine that our
american women are lacking in speed,
your imagination is clearly at fault
Speed is one of their many long
suits. In fact, they are becoming so
speedy the men are gasping in amaze
nient and CONSERVATION over the pos
sibilities OF the next fifty years.
Only few years ago we laughed at
the absurd idea" of any woman ever
being allowed to vote or hold public
Office on a par with men. But they
are doing it now, and it doesn't seem
to have sent either the country or the
people to the bow-wows
Now the women arr preparing to
have congress amend the constitution
in such manner that they will be
given equal rights and privileges and
be placed on par with man in every
respect an din all things. In other
words, if they are successful in their
present undertaking the matter of sex
will disappear entirely to far as it re-
lates to rights, privileges and respon-
sibilities.

FULL POCKETS AND
EMPTY HEADS

When Fatty Arbuckle was "discov.
cred" for the movies he was cleaning
cuspidors in a saloon. At the time
of his arrest on a charge of numbering
Virginia Rape he was film star with
more money than he could spend.
But his money went to his head, and
his head landed him in a murderer's
cell.
Whether Arbuckle be guilty or in
nocent, the fact of the revolving de-
bauch remains, and the debauch brot
on the death of a woman.
The time may come when man
will achieve fortune without losing his
brains or his decency, as is too often
the case now.
But until that time does come public
opinion should compel decent and
law abiding line of conduct, even tho
the inclination is not there.
Full pockets are not to be condemn
ed, nut full pockets and empty heads
are menace.
We don't need the combination in
this country.
That would mean the eligibility of
women to become mayors, governors,
congressman, senators, judges, and
even president of the United States.
No doubt the opposition will do
some more laughing at their pre-
sumption, but the laughter will not
be so long, or loud, or hearty.
Because, you know, we have the
most charming, intelligent and pro-
gressive women nj the world, and
when they make up their minds to
do thing they just simply speed up,
and-it's done.

PHILOSOPHICAL MEDITATIoNs

We don't blame congress for not
wanting to remain in session while the
disarmament meet Is buzzing along
No one craes to be completely over
looked and forgotten.
In the opinion of many people il
will take a lot Of fighting to restore
peace to this world.
If we simply can't curb our fighing
instincts, let's compromise by declar-
ing war on Mars. Then we could all
die in peace before inventing method
of attack.
Any fool can effer criticism, but it
takes brains to get into the class of
the criticised.
That far eastern question is moving
westward Washington is good
place to halt.
The nations of the earth will not
stack arms as long as we continue TO
make arms to be stacked.
Faith, hope and charity-but the
most expensive of all is charity.
The modern woman never denies
her age. She paints it out.
The wonderful improvements in the
postal service make it easy for the
bandits 20 operate without fear of loss.
The money shipments go out on sched-
ule time.
The man who is true TO himself is
never traitor to others.
When we hear a fellow Boosting
that he never, changes his mind we
quite agree with him. 1t is difficult
to change something that does not
exist.
Look into the home life of The fell
low who claims that nothing ever wOr-
ries him. Possibly his wife is earn
ing the living.
Don't become discouraged because
the world fails to accept you at your
own valuation. The Lord knows you
as you are, and the rest of US don't
cOunt

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 16
Hold onto your liberty bonds Dom

Hold onto your liberty bonds. Don't
let anyone cajole you into selling them
for less than par. They are slowly
but surely rising in value, and after
the high rates of interest come down
the bonds viii shoot up again in value
If congress had the nerve to buck
the financial tiger it would pas a law
compelling every person to accept the
bonds at par with accrued interest
when rendered in lieu of currency.
That of course would not please the
spectators in bonds. but it would be
a boot to the millions of poor people
who We're induced to buy bonds "un-
til it hurt"
