LOSES S2 IN AIR
Zephyr Sn8tches Bill From the Hands of New York Scribe Soaring Above Manhattan in an Airplane.

New York, Cay 24--It isn't so often a reporter has s2 In his pocket But to have that amount and lose it while flying 1.nnn feet above New York's tall buildings is unique catastrophe. If the Boss will only believe it and the auditor will OK. if, the flight will have been a successful one from the reporters point ot view, which. yes- terday was from all angles.
 The accident-the losing of the bill occurred over the new Velodrome at Broadway and 225th street. While D. G. Richards. the pilot of the aero marine flying boat Ambassador. was busy turning the giant aircraft at a rakish angle to satisfy some moving picture photographers, the New York World reporter suddenly pulled his hand out of his pocket and dragged the s2 bill at the same time.
 "Something went overboard," piped the pilot to the reporter. But the reporter was too interested in the rakish angle to pay much attention. Later when he had become calmer he discovered Mr. Richards was right. Something had gone overboard-the reporters s2.

River Alive With Fish

Fishing has been great industry
along the Des Laos the past week.
Friday it became known that the
suckers were running, and it proved
to be the greatest run Of fish ever
seen in the river. They were so nu-
merous at times that nothing but the
bare hands was needed to scoop them
out of the water. They were taken
in crude traps, nets, boxes, with
forks, pals, any old way. Men and
boys were busy night and day. Eve
rybody had fish to burn. Farmers
left their field work or came in at
night to fish. Many people are salt
ing down or smoking large quantities
Of fish for use during the summer.
Most of the fish are of good size and
some real heavy weights. Fred Field
ner who drives school bus route,
Using his big auto truck, took out a
couple of barrels Of fish and distri-
huted to- the farmers along his route
Monday evening. 1t is thought that
this mass of fish have come up from
the Mouse river which is at very
high stage while the Des Laos has
been rather low this spring. Any
way it made more excitement along
this valley than anything that has
happened for some time.-Donny-
brook. Courier.

Renville county has quite a large
sum of money on deposit in the Mo
hall State bank. now closed, and there
is question whether or not it is pro-
tected by the state guaranty fund
law because the money was placed in
the bank at 6 per cent interest payable
IN advance semi-annually. This is
held by, some to be more than a
oer cent rate. and therefore more than
the guaranty fund law allowed, and
protected. Our states attorney,
Judge Crewe, has looked up many
court decisions covering this point,
and he has found many that hold in
terest or rent collected in advance not
TO constitute usury or higher rate
than the rate given. 1t is law
point that will perhaps go to our sup
