Discovery Made by Harvard Graduate Exploring Far North; When He Meets Half-Breed Who Was With Explorer.

Old Town, Me-, Jan. 19.-A hobo on Arctic trails who had with him a notebook and other relics of Dr. Cooks expedition of IA years ago is described in a letter received here from Kenneth M. Clark, a Harvard graduate, who is now cruising timber lands in the northern Quebec wilder ness.
 Notebook Found.
 Exploring a strange trail with a guide, Clark wrote, he found a rough igloo, nearly buried in snow. Inside was a lone Eskimo or half breed, clothed in furs. A notebook in a cor ner of the hut, together with papers and bits of metal apparently parts of a seXtant caught Clarks eye and ex of the book disclosed the name of pr. Frederick A. Cook. The pages contained notes on weather, and longitudinal data con- dition of ice foes and other memor- anda. Eighty-nfne was the farthest north position decipherable, Clark wrote.
 Was With Dr. Cook.
 With the help of his guide, the tim Der cruiser said he learned from the lone occupant of the igloo that he was a. wanderer of the wilderness. He had been with the Cook expedition, he indicated-one of the few who stayed with the explorer after his party had been split by blizzards, by scanty provisions and forced to turn back when the dogs went mad.
 Before leaving, the man said he took the notebook and other articles and had been carrying them since. ct was in 1909 that Dr. Cook came out of the north with the claim to dis coyery of the pole on April 21, 1908 which caused heated controversy with Admiral Peary who characterized Cooks claim as gold brick")
 To Bring Back Book.
 The Eskimo said he was about ready to end his wanderings and to turn toward his home igloo, farther north, trusting to his spear and knife to supply him with food on the way The pork and coffee supplied by the timber cruiser were so much to hia fixing however that he attached him self to him as official game killer. Mark wrote that he was bringing the notebook back to civilibzation on his 'eturn.

 Execution in July 1918

WHAT WORLD NEEDS
is PEANUT SHELLER
Rumored Invention Here Brings In
quiries From Virginia

Greenwood Index-J Journal.
One thing the world needs now is a
peanut shelter. Probably you didn't
know that, but the faintest rumor
that such an instrument had been in
vented in Greenwood brought in
quiries from the peanut growers ex-
change of Virginia.
The inquiry followed the recent
publication of the following facetious
story in the Greenville Piedmont:
"Henry C. Tillman and Samuel c.
Hodges, prominent capitalists Of
Greenwood, were in Greenville yes.
terday. While no information could
be obtained from them as to their
mission here it was reported that
they are seeking suitable location
for a plant to manufacture high
grade nutcrackers for peanuts which
would save the consumer much time
and effort. The luxurious implement
has been invented by E. P. Wideman
Greenwood newspaperman, it is said,
and has found much favor with many
prominent citizens of that city who
constantly foregather at the depot to
observe who is coming hither and who
is going thither."
Yesterday Mr.. Hodges received the
following letter from Frank Fooshe,
former Greenwood county resident,
and now secretary of the peanut
growers exchange:
"Is the attached clipping from the
Greenville, S. c., Piedmont real busi-
ness, or a big joke?
"If it is the real thing I want you
to put me on to it as part of my
business is to keep up with what is
doing in the peanut world.
81 am mighty glad to say that our
organization is still moving forward,
and that some day we expect to be
big factor in the peanut game.
when you people in Greenwood
county get to growing peanuts then
l am coming down to see you. As a
matter of fact I used to grow some
very fine peanuts at Coronaca."
