WELLINGTON WAS WHALING

According to an eminent English writer of "reminiscences there was an authoress a few decades ago who wrote and illustrated charming garden books. She was a Mrs. Lou don. In one of her works she was anxious to include a sketch of the "Waterloo Beeches" at Strathfield- save. a clump of trees on the duke of Wellington's estate planted in eommemoration of the downfall of the Corsican.
 Accordingly she wrote the duke of Wellington requesting leave to sketch the beeches and signing her- self "J. Loudon." The duke, in spite of extreme age and dim eyesight, always insisted on attending to his own correspondence He replied as follows Tine. duke of Wellington presents his compliments to the bishop is quite at liberty to make a sketch of the brooches which the duke wore at Waterloo if they can be found. But the duke is not aware that they differed in any way from the brooches he generally wears."-- Argonaut.

 LONON' Sept. 29.-(By Associated Press. .)-PerforMin fleas on the drama-must go through their acts without the possibility of protection in the case of maltreatment.
 This slight to the fleas is contained in an anti-flea clause of the govern ment's new Performing Animals bill which has passed the committee stage in the House of Commons.
 When the question was debated, it was decided that reptiles and fish should be included but fleas must fight their battles alone. An amend ment was carried to this effect.
 The real reason for the discrim- ination was that the difficulty of using the flea as evidence.

 Inst Year
E. J. WHILDEN


 DETROIT Mich, Sept. 2e.-August closed the summer season for the Ford Motor company with sales of 161,567 cars and trucks, 39, eos more than were delivered at retail during the same month last year, it is just announced.
 The remarkable increase which have characterized Ford sales so far this year, bringing them to total of 1,212,553 for the eight months up to September promise to maintai nthe same proportion during the fall sea son.
 At least, this is indicated by the number of orders on hand at the first of the present month. Tbe new type Ford cars, now in the hands of prac- tically all dealers in the country, are attracting widespreau attention.
 The tendency toward enclosed car buying is growing more noticeable and in this connection the four-door Ford Sedan is gaining in popularity as the family car. This Sedan has en- joyed a lively demand ever since it's introduction and now, with improve ments which have come as a result of the higher radiator, is more attrac- tive ir appearance than ever before. The Ford coupe,- which is new in de- sign and with many refinements is enjoying unusual popularity.
 Business and agricultural interests continue to make increasing demands for Ford trucks and sales for August reached a total of 17,441, a gain of 5,147 over August, 1922.

KEEPING THE ENGINE COOL, (Prepared by the National Safety

 l. The intense heat of the explo- sion inside the cylinders of an au- tomobiie engine causes the engine to become heated. The engine operates most efficiently when it is heated to about ITO degrees Fahrenheit. If It gets too hot it will burn the oil and prevent proper fabrication of the engine. To prevent the engine fire m getting too hot, the cooling system has been provided

 LEIPSIG, Sept. 2s.-(sept. 2s.-(By Associated Press.)--Germany's high est court shows little mercy for men arraigned before 1t for treason in the great war.
 Gerhard Strey was recently given life sentence for having betrayed his command In March, 1916. The evil Gence showed that he deserted the German army and weut over tc the French.

AN INDIANA TOWN
HAS BANNED NEGROES
FOLLOWING ASSAULT UPON A
LITTLE WHITE GIRL BLACKS
TOLD TO MOVE OUT.

BLANFORD, Ind.-Every unmar-
ried male negro had left Blanford al
7 O'Clock tonight. The rest Of the ne
gro population was disposing of its
property and preparing to vanish by
Wednesday, the end of the time limit
set by mass meeting that decided to-
day this shall be only white mans
town.
Despite these precautions civil au-
thorities, virtually powerless, still were
apprehensive tonight lest rioting break
out as a result OF race hatred bred by
a negro's attack on an 1lyear-old
white girl. Miners from miles around
Blanford participated in an all day
search for Albert Honey Boy" Mays,
a negro youth wanted in connection
with the assault.
AS night fell more miners came in
to town, some ginned up. A demand
was made upon the negroes that
Honey Boy" be delivered into the
hands of a committee" for punish
ment. The negroes, protesting their
ignorance of his whereabouts, formed
another committee which joined in the
search for the fugitive.
The attacked girl, Mary Elizabeth
Bales, was returned tonight after treat
ment at a Terre Haute hospital. The
child was returning from grocery
store when her assailant dragged her
a quarter of mile and attacked her.

BEFRIENDED A MAN;
RECEIVES REWARD
AFTER FIVE YEARS JOE Ma
MA REWARDED BY STRAIN
GER FOR PAYING FINE.

When Joe Mama, young Greek
ssHho was a resident OF Dawson at the
time but now the proprietor OF cafe
in Shellman, performed an act OF kind
ness FIVE years ago to pennies
stranger who had fallen in hard lines
he had little thought that he would be
rewarded other than the satisfaction
of knowing that he had helped an I'M
fortunate person who was in distress.
At that time a soldier OF fortune"
who gave his name as Frank Fryer
drifted into Dawson, and ostensibly
was making a livelihood by taking
pictures on the streets OF negroes at
10 cents each. He fell into the hands
OF the police for the infraction of some
city ordinance and being unable to
pay fine OF $40, imposed by the
mayor, was put to work on the streets.
Joe Nama's sympathy was aroused
and he paid the prisoners fine, who
was deeply grateful and has since kept
in communication with his benefac-
tor
Now the Goddess OF Fortune has
smiled on the poor wanderer. Recent
~ Fryer learned that he was heir to
a fortune of $4,000 that had been
awaiting him in New York several
years, and while on a visit to his
friend Mama in Shellman last week
he received a check for $500 which
had accumulated as interest, and to
show his gratitude to the man who
had come to his rescue when he was
without friends or money he present
ed Joe Mama with $500 in cash, and
told him more was at his command
should he ever need it.
Another instance OF bread cast upon
the water returning after many days;
also moral to be kind to strangers
no matter how insignificant nor how
far down the social scale they may
have fallen.

British Boilers.

In some parts Of England there are
steam boilers still working that were
Installed from fifty to one hundred
years ago. They provide active wit
ness to the excellence of British en-
cheering. A short tinA ago leading
British boiler expert had the curiosity
to subject two old IRON boilers, proba-
bly, about sixty years old, to careful
tests. He found that the old iron
stood up astonishingly well under
heavy hydraulic pressure, and he noted
particularly that the slight cracks
which had been formed round the rivet
holes in the original punching had not
extended during the working life OF
the boilers. Thus he proved that the
old kind of iron used In these British
boilers was hardly surpassed by the
material employed by the finest OF up
to-date plants.
