ness Saturday without clothing or equip
ment to live for one month as close to
nature as a human being can get, emerg.
ed for a few minutes recently TO tell
their adventures.
Both wore brchbark suits, lashed to-
gether with vines, but their bodies were
lacerated by thorns. They were pale,
haggard and exhausted but said they
would continue their adventure.
Il made snares with tough fibrcs from
the inside of cedar bark and waited
patiently for some wild animal to come
along and stick his head into one of
them, but none was caught" said
adam" Might fell rapidly and we had
nothing OF eat but roots and bits of
green stuff and our stomachs were pret-
ty empty.
Il could hear wild animals prowling
around and was afraid to go to sleep
but finally | dozcd off and was awaken
ed by an unearthly scream. 1t was my
wife, who had awakened out of a night
mare during which she thought she was
being eaten by wild animal"
On Sunday the Suffers took an early
morning plunge in the stream and then
had hearty breakfast of lily roots.

Aroostock County, Maine, noted fol
its fertile fields and large crops Of po
tatoes, happened to be the subject Of
conversation at a recent gathering Of
several vocational men. One of the lads,
who evidently had covered quite bit
Of territory, was telling his comrades Of
an incident that had happened while he
was passing through that section Of the
state. As near as can be re-told this
is the story he related:
"Mc and a pal had just blew in from
the Coast and being tired Of life on
the Canuck side of the line had drift
ed across to a little burg called Carl
bou. 1t was an appropriate name all
right, for the people Of that town were
sure iimid in regard to strangers. Well
we hikes down the main drag until
We hits feed joint and, after general
sizing up on the part of few by
ISLANDERS, proceeded to allay the pangs Of
hunger.
''The waitress, forlorn, rustic beauty
of bygone vintage, passed the food to
us as though we were highly charged
with T. N. I. Finally she mustered up
enough courage to ask us if we had been
in those parts for any length of time.
My pal, Blackic, who was sore at the
town and the world in general, gave
her short answer, No. We're not.

sideshow freaks and just came through

lion. The answer was enough and the
waitress beat it, looking back over her
shoulder as if We were going to kid
nap her.
Then We hit the drag and rambled
iown TO the depot, where a couple of
husky sons Of the soil were loading a
ar with spuds. There was an old HON.

oading of the car. His map put one

es situations which outrage the old con
veniional views Of the relations Of men
and women. This Side of Paradise gets
away from the sugary conception OF
the college boy in sport clothes, and The
Three Soldiers is serious piece of work
by a man trying to express himself hon
estly. None Of these could have been
written in the days of Longfellow and
Hawthorne"
Mr.. Hansen admitted that his chief
interest was in novel writing, but re-
fused TO discuss a novel he is working
on now.
Instead he repeated, THE death OF
good writing is too much talking"

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Another Worlds Fair is being planned
to be held in Philadelphia in 1926. i
will commemorate the l5Oth anniversar,
OF the signing of the Declaration Of Inde
pendence.
Worlds fairs in the United States have
always met with popular approval. They
have been attended by thousands of Wis
iiors from all sections of the country
and have come to be regarded as monu-
mcnts of progress.
While the next fair will welcome inter.
national cooperation. it is in America
that the chief interest lies. Every state
in the Union will have the privilege of
being represented at Philadelphia. Fed
eral and state governments will work to-
gethcr in making the fair a success.
The Philadelphia Exposition, as well
as the ST. Louis, Chicago, and San Fran
cisco events will have a historical sicni-
hcancc. One hundred and fifty yclrs
before lis time, pioneer Americans were
cmbarking upon 4 new venture, the for
nation of the government Of the United
States of America. The 1926 worlds
fair will be another stepping stone in the
remarkable development of the United
States since then.

"The best literary work of the last five

The reason? It's because the west
