ut is easy to suggest as remedy
a modification Of our tariff laws, i'm
migration law, reduction in freight
rates, and repeal Of the Adamson law.
Would Aid Buying Power
IF these suggestions could be ac-
complished, undoubtedly an apprecia-
ton in the purchasing power of the
farmer would automatically result.
1t is very doubtful, however, if any
substantial changes in our present
laws can be made; anil furthermore,
it is also doubtful if such changes
would be desirable. The facts are
that We have become accustomed to
a scale of living in this country that
is recognized as the American stan
dard; we have been enjoying it for
quite a period of years; we seem to
like it, and l believe the American
people do not want any reduction in
that standard. In my opinion, it is
here to stay, and certain adjust
mcnts must be made in agriculture to
meet the rev economic conditions
with which We are now confronted"

new Federal Reserve Agent for the
Ninth district, succeeding J. H. Rich,

for the retail business men Of Mimi

He said in part:
'The results5fr from this years oper-

justify great rejoicing, and new life
and encouragement have been inject
ed into the producer.
"The cause of the increased yields
in small grains in this country is cli-

prices is due to world shortage, the
result of climatic conditions else
where. Is it not worth while to give
thought to what will happen to small
grain prices in this country when the
other grain producing countries have
a normal crop?
''Since the world market price for
wheat controls our domestic price so
long as surplus is produced in this

some means by which the disposition
of the surplus production will not

Robert Foran, newspaper CORE

Roosevelt expedition into Africa in
1909. They arrive at Mombasa, the
"gateway Of British East Africa"
and then make the railroad journey
to their first camp on the game
crowded kapit Plains. With Colo
mel Roosevelt are his son, Kermit,
and three scientific members Of. his
staff--Major Edgar A. Mearns, Ed
mund Heller and ]. Allen BORING.
Now the expedition camps at
Saigai-Sai, farm belonging to
Commander Frederick Attenborough,
after a wonderfully successful shoot
ing trip in the Sotik country. Now,
going in launch across the lake to-
ward the mouth of the Mprendt Riv-
or, they catch sight of a large hippo
walking along the shore. Colonel
Roosevelt, Kermit and Cunninghame
leave the launch and row toward the
animal.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Dawson, the Attenboroughs and
myself sat in the launch, which had
come to halt, and watched the hunt
eagerly, at the same time keeping a
sharp lookout for the hippo so as
to warn the hunters of its where
abouts.
The row-boat had not proceeded
far into the bay when, less than a
hundred yards away in the papyrus
reeds, there suddenly came into view
the huge head Of hppopotamns.
and very ugly. Calmly it watched
the approach of the invaders OF Its
privacy, until it seemed to realize
suddenly that danger threatened It.

Colonel Roosevelt decided to embark
in the frail row-boat, accompanied
only by two native porters to row
him, and try for hippo unaided.
The launch was to stand by, ready to
come to his aid and later to carry
him back to camp.
He had rowcd across the lake for
couple of miles, when he suddenly
found himself amongst school Of
fifteen or more hippopotami. They
Immediately surrounded his boat and
charged it repeatedly, humping the
bottom Of it with their broad backs
as they dived beneath it. The two
natives were terrified and dropped
their oars. There was ample cause
for their terror, for it is no light
thing to be attacked by even one
single hippo when only in frail
row-boat-let alone some fifteen or
twenty.
Colonel Roosevelt, however, was in
his element and was undismayed. He
calmly selected the biggest bull from
amongst the school, and killed it with
beautiful shot through the head.
He next picked out another cxcep-
tionally fine specimen, which later
turned out to be big cow, and also
killed it with his first shot. AS he
only wanted these two specimens for
the completion of the groups for the
museum, he thereafter contented
himself with merely protecting him
self against the remainder of the
hippo.
When, finally, they had disappear
ed, he sat down in the boat and wait
ed patiently for his two victims to
rise to the surface. 1t takes from
two to three hours fora dead hippo

markable performance.
Eventually to the complete sur
prise of Colonel Roosevelt, who be-
lieved that he had only killed two
hippo, five dead bodies Of the mon
sters came to the surface. 1t took
some considerable time to get ropes
round them and prepare them SO
that the launch could tow it's bur-
den of about fifteen tons dead
weight back to the camp.
Owing to the great weight of the
animals, they were by no means an
easy subject for towing, and the
progress of the launch across the
lake was, of necessity, labored and
slow. To add to their discomfort.

over the lake and it began to rain

they had no coats or blankets with
them. Neither had they had any food

expected to be so long away from
the camp.
