By FRANK G. MENKE

Every so often a story jumps out OF
the swirl of real life which makes the
most vivid fiction writer seem like an
imaginative piker.
The one which concerns Frank A.
Churchill can be cited as Exhibit A
Churchill, who is reported to be
millionaire, and who gets most of his
fun out of life through the manage
ment of Pancho Villa, the Filipino
flyweight, who is champion OF AM
erica. decided 25 years ago that Bos-
ton, his old home town, didn't pack
enough thrills to hold him longer
So Churchill, just emerging from
his teens, galloped across the CONT
nent and didn't stop galloping until
he reached Alaska-which was in the
gold rush days of 1897.
Churchill spent five years in the
northland- Rex Beach, the author,
was one of his pals and partners dur
ing part of that time. Churchill met
up with Tex Rickard frequently and
was either partner or cron1e or

into the purchase of house, a bust
ness block and some land which many
figured would produce gold in huge
quantities. At that moment Churchill
was reckoned to be worth at least
$250,000.
Then came the breaks"
A suit was filed against Churchill by
parties who alleged that the men who
had sold the house, the business places
and the claims were not the rightful
owners; that the ownership papers
which they turned over to Churchill
hal been forgeries. The thing dragged
through the courts.
Churchill became sick. While he
was in a makeshift hospital his pals
lost track of him. Beach and the
others took the second last boat sail
ing from Nome so that they could gel
out of Alaska before the winter freeze

Trip for information.

Several progressive farmers of this
section recently made Il trip in COM

farmers into the lower section of South
Carolina, with a view to getting first
hand information relative to fighting

best way is to use calcium arsenate
and they were told that unless the
fight is made right at this time that
it will prove useless. Never before
have the Glover farmers been threat

threatens to bring now ana never has
there been such united interest in
