RULER OF HUNGARY.

Count Michael Karolyi e-time
ruler of all Hungary, is coming to
Canada to make his living by tilling

vate corn for his daily bread.
His wife, Countess Karolyi, one Of
the most beautiful women Of Europe,

chickens, do the family washing and
maybe help the count with the milk
ing occasionally
Their three children, two of them
born in royal castles, the other born
in a cheap lodging house in exile, are

romp with other children in Canada

BUFFALO STEAK SEEN
AS CANADA KILLS 1000
Bison Are Increasing So Fast That
Herds Are Too Large.

Buffaloes such as Bill Cody and
others helped to drive from the Amer
ican plains have become so numerous
in the Dominion of Canada park for
bison at Wainwright Alberta, that
some 1000 of the animals must fol-
low Buffalo Bills victims to their hap
Ply hunting grounds next Thursday.
As result buffalo steaks may be on
the market by Thanksgiving.
| John c. Campbell, of the national
parks department of the Dominion,
has made arrangements with Chicago
packers and pemmican manufacturers
to handle some of the bison.
Protests made to the Canadian gov
eminent against slaughter of the buff
faloes were based on a misunderstand-
ing, Mr.. Campbell explained. The pro-
testants generally referred to the fast
disappearing buffalo" AS matter of
fact, he said, the buffalo is increasing
about 1000 year, and with 8,400 in
the Wainwright reservation the herds
have become too unwieldly.

SQUIRRELS DIGGING
DEEPER THIS YEAR
TENNESSEE MOUNTAINEERS
PREDICT LONG, COLD WIN
TER AS RESULT OF SIGNS.

BRISTOL, Tenn.-This section o.
the south is in for a long, hard winter
according to statements OF the patri-
archs of the mountains nearby. These
men, who figure in the life of every
mountain community as official wealth
er prophets, foresee this year the most
rigorous winter OF a decade past. Their
views are based almost entirely on
observations made from nature, par
ticularly the actions OF the smaller an
imals.
Their excitement over the course to
be taken by this winters weather has
reached new bounds in the last month
or two Everything, they claim, tells
of winter that will come early, be
of unusual violence and remain late.
Uncle" Charlie Trivett, dean OF
weather forecasters in his section of
the H'olstons, outlines his reasoning
as follows:
For the past several years the win
tiers have been unusually mild in this
section A change is due this year, if
for no other reason.
Wild geese and ducks are about a
month ahead of their schedule in their
flight to the south Other migratory
birds are also passing overhead ear
lier than is their wont.
The shucks on corn are thicker this
year. and bark on trees is fold deep
er. Weeds and trees began to turn

brown earlier.
Fur-bearing animals, such as chip
hunks, squirrels, foxes and rabbits,
have heavier coat of fur this year
than usual. They are also digging
deeper into the ground in preparing
their dens for the winter. The squir-
rels and chipmunks have stored away
more than the customary number of
nuts ior their winters food.
Fleecy clouds in the sky, coming
from the north, have been more num-
erous recently than in years, and they
portend plenty of snow and wind.
The bugs and insects have started
burrowing into the ground two or
three weeks earlier than last year

SURGEONS SUCCESSFULLY
GRAFT FINGER AS NOSE
Patient Will Breathe Through Trans
planted Member.

SYDNEY, N. S. W.-The success
full grating of a new nose on the face
OF a human being was demonstrated
recently in an operation on Thomas
Kilcullen at Sydney hospital. Surgeons
used the middle finger of his left hand
for the missing organ.
The operation took three weeks.
The finger, still attached to Kilcullen's
hand, was bound to his face after the
skin had been prepared to make the
grating possible. His left hand and
arm were bandaged so that they could
not be moved, and in that position
Kilcullen remained until the graft was
completed, when the finger was sew
cred from the hand.
The surgeons said Kilcullen will be
able to breathe through the trans
planted finger. They could not guar
antee that it would serve as an organ
with which Kilcullen could distinguish
odors.

DROP I'm GAS PRICE
DUE TO CALIFORNIA
OIL DELUGE OF 100000 BAR
RELS DAILY TOSSED ON THE
MARKET CAUSED DECLINE.

LOS ANGELES, Cal-Af 10000
600 motor vehicle owners and opera
tors chug up and down the broad high
ways of this country, buying gasoline
in southern California for from to
Is cents, in Oregon and Washington
for from II to IA cents, in South Da-
kota for 10 cents, and in other states
for prices ranging all the way from
Is to p cents, the universal inquiry
is:
What knocked the bottom out of
gasoline prices"
The answer is:
California did it,"
What Caused Price Drop.
And how was it done?
By tossing upward of 100000 bar
rels of crude oil per day into the bal
ance at time when the oil industry
in this country was gliding along on
a comparatively even keel.
Half the oil fields in the country
are on shut-in basis, holding back
at least half of their potential produc-
ton in an effort to save the oil busi-
ness from collapse, and all because
California is capable of producing
100000 barrels of crude oil per day.
AS nearly as the statisticians are
able to determine, California will yield
approximately 275,000000 barrels OF
crude oil in 1928 That will be almost
twice the 1922 production, which was
100000 barrels.
California is now yielding more
crude oil than Oklahoma, Texas and
Arkansas, three of the great petro-
leum regions of the United States,
and the bulk of this California oil is
being produced in Los Angeles and
Orange counties.
There, within a radius OF IS miles,
and so situated that complete tour
of them by auto in a single day is
possible, lies three great petroleum
fields which have made world history
III the last year, and another field
which is reported to be destined TO
replace the Huntington Beach field in
its declining years. This is Torrance, a |
field which, in IS months, has put 40 |
wells on production, with total of
1913 producing, drilling or building |
rigs.
$5O0,OOO Daily Output
More than 100000 day is the es-
timated value of the crude oil that is
being pumped from these great pools,
above which little more than two
years ago vegetables and barley, hay
and sugar beets were being grown. A
portion OF one of the fields few
years ago was cut into lots and given
away as premiums with sets of ency-
clopedias.
In less than eight months the oil
fields of southern California, some of
which reared their 120-foot derricks
above bearing orange groves valued
at from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre, have
caused the petroleum capital of the
world to rise within two miles of
tidewater at Los Angeles harbor; have
put the Panama canal on a paying
basis after the worlds general mari
time trade failed to do so; have pro- ;
vided the United States Shipping
Board with a market for perhaps $40,- '
100000 worth of steel tankers and
have knocked the bottom out Of the ;
gasoline market of the entire country.
