SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 7.-At one time or another millions undoubtedly knew Pierre Cashier. For years he was strong man" for one of the largest circuses.
 But 15 or 20 years ago he retired from the sawdust tours to settle in San Francisco. Here thousands of of people of olden days knew him a a new generation came to know him. He made his living by giving physical culture demonstrations and selling his system" on down town street corner. At this stand he never missed day. He called himself the strongest mao in the world Usually he had little knot of cassers-by viewlrs his mus clcs and listening to his friendly bad, image.
 Cashiers little peddler's automobile became a landmark as familiar to San Franciscans as Twin Peaks or the Ferry Building. He was assisted in his demonstrations by a Chinese servant, his companion for many years.
 One day recently the traffic po- liceman sensed something wrong with the topography of the street. He saw that Pierre Cashier and his tiny car were missing. The policeman told headquarters. Headquarters in vestigated and learned that Cashier

ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF GERMAN MARKS ARE
 SOLD TO AMERICANS

LEIPZIG, Feb 7.-Money collectors in Germany like the stamp collectors, have had their hands full this year, New notes, regular and otherwise, have poured In on them from all sides Thousands of issues of German marks which became worthless as currency within a few weeks of their appear ance, have been accumulated by the money collectors whose only rivals in this respect were the garbage men or the factories who sought the yalueless marks merely for the paper.
 Collectors agents in Leipzig Ber- lin and other German cities have done a land office business all summer and fall among their foreign clients, some of whom ordered marks by the pound The United States, it is estimated has taken tons of the paper notes to be sold in the streets by peddlers, or given away as premiums with ten cent order.
 In addition to the regulation notes, freakish issues of marks from ev erywhere, some of them especially de signed to give the collectors a thrill. These notes were good only in the districts issued. Thousands of them never reached the public at all be- cause they passed directly into the hands of the collectors.

ROMANCE FOLLOWS
 WAKE 0F TRAGEDY
(Stroller's Weekly).

On her southbound trip from the westward Thursday the steamer Vic toria carried passenger who was ev- idently born to be lucky, a substantial resident of the interior country where he has lived for many years. In Oc- tober, 1918, he was in Skagway and had ticket on the steamer Princess Sophia for the south Another man from the interior was also in Skagway on his way south but owing to the rush of travel, was unable to secure passage on the Sophia As his wife had gone out a few weeks before with the family roll, the snug sum of ESQ., 000 they having made a final cleanup in the interior before leaving the country for good and to settle in a fine home they had already secured in a prosperous community in the state of Washington, the man was particular ly anxious to get away on the first steamer leaving Skagway, which was the Sophia.
 As the first man had not wife to precede him to the outside and as he had more time than anything else he concluded that he might as we'll spend a portion of that time in Skagway as anywhere else so he transferred his steamer ticket to his friend who was anxious to be on his way
 Everybody knows the fate of the Princess Sophia on that trip and not one of 249 people aboard survived to tell the story.
 A few days later the man who had ! transferred his ticket on the Sophia to his friend, took another steamer for the south and had an uneventful voyage on which he congratulated him self on his narrow escape from the fate of the one who travelled on the ticket he himself had purchased.
 While this story is complete as 1t now stands, there is more to it The fortunate one of the two men very naturally called on the widow of his friend after reaching the outside. In due time he called on her again-and again. She is now his wife and when the Victoria was in port here Thurs day tied up awaiting the abating of the storm then raging, he was just as anxious to be on his way to join her at their fine home in the state of Washington as was his predeces- sor five years ago last October.

 For two of these potatoes the store receives ten cents. In Idaho last year where these potatoes were grown, one grower received nine cents for eight carloads of fancy selected stock, or a cent less than the store received for 2 potatoes, after he had paid for the sacks and freight.
 Potatoes at five cents apiece should interest MT. Frank Wilson, Hammett, Ida., who sold those carloads for 9 cents, and other Idaho readers.

ARREST DRIVERS
OVER NEW ROADS
Motorists and Others Who
Drive Over Fresh Con-
crete Streets Nabbed.
NOT OPEN TO TRAFFIC

Some folks are always in a hurry.
But City Engineer Bob" Smith is
going to elarn" them a thing or two
if these hurried folks keep on insist
ing upon travelling over the newly
paved streets before the streets are
formally turned open to traffic. Mo-
florists who break through and drive
their cars over the newly paved con-
crete streets have been the worst Of
Tenders.
Monday the city engineer called in
the cooperation of the police depart
ment, after learning that several mo-
florists had gone over Valentine street.
Valentine street, concrete Thorough
fare will be open to traffic the latter
part of the week, and when open the
barricades at either end will be taken
of, and it will be clear to the motor
ing public that the street is open.
Fuel was added to the fires of the
indignation in the engineers Office
when it was learned later in the day
that cars had been driven over the
new concrete base for the asphalt paw
Ing Of Fairfield avenue.
Motorcycle officers were dispatched
to both streets by the police captain,
and drivers who were caught entering
upon these stretes were placed under
arrest. -
Those who were in a great hurry
the moment before found that crimp
was placed in their speed and that it
would have been better to have "gone
round" in the first place.

was forced to discontine "The Duffs''
nearly year ago, because Of the Ill
ness of Altman, scores of inquiries
were received as well as protests from
readers who did not understand the
situation. Several sympathetic read
ers sought Allmans address in order
that they might write him.
Kenosna readers will not soon for

author will come as q real sorrow 20
many here who had hoped that some
day Mr.. and Mrs. Duff, Danny, Will

COUNTY TO FIGHT
RAILROAD TOLD
Milwaukee Road Notified
That Damage Claim for
Cattle Will be Pressed.
TRACK CLEAR FOR MILE

Morris Barnett, district attorney, to-
and st. Paul railroad company that a
fight will be made to collect damages
for 16 head Of blooded cattle owned by
the county, which were killed by a
fast train on October Is, 1923.
George Baker, general claim adjust
ter for the road, informed Mr.. Barnett
In letter received last month, that
no adjustment for damages would be
allowed by the road. He stated that
the crew of the train had used due
care, and that his investigation had
shown that all fences were in good re-
pair. ~
In his letter the prosecutor pointed
out that it was purely a case Of negli-
gence on the part of the company. He
stated that second investigation had
been. made, which showed that at the
point where the cattle had gotten on
the right Of way, the track ran straight
for nearly mile. He added that there
were 80 cattle on the track at the time,
and that had the engineer been look
ing he could have. seen them in time
to keep from running into the herd.
Demands an Adjustment.
Mr.. Barnett's letter to the general
adjuster follows:
"Dear Sir:
"This will acknowledge receipt Of
your letter Of the II ult. h reference
to 16 cattle, valued at $3.50 which
We're struck and killed by azpassenger

south Of Ranney, Wisconsin, on Octo-
Der Is, 1923. These cattle were the
property of Kenosha county.
"Mr. Powell, assistant district attor-
ney, and myself, in company with a
committee from Kenosha county, were
out at the point where the cattle were
killed today, and after gathering all
the facts in the matter we And that 56
cattle were on the tracks at the time
Of the accident. The accident happen
ed little after 8 o'clock in the morn
ing while the light was good.
1--WE also find that the point where
the cattle were Is about 1000 feet
from q curve in the road which prob
ably necessitated Stacking the train.
We also found that there was no OBJ
struction whatever which would hinder
the engineer in charge from plainly
seeing the number Of cattle on the
tracks for nearly mile before running
into the herd BY using diligence, we
feel that the accident could have been
avoided.
eve are Of the opinion that the COM
pany, through their agent and serv-
ants, were negligent in the operation
Of the train, and are taking this op-
portunity Of writing you asking that
the matter be reeonsiderAd with view
to a possible adjustment for the loss

TESTERS SPREAD
WISCONSIN FAME
County Cow Testing Asso-
Citations Put Wisconsin
in Lead.
ANNOUNCE HIGH HERDS

That Wisconsin leads the United
States in the scope and development OF
county COW testing associations was
the interesting information given out
today in the report Of the Racine
County Cow Testing association which
offers figures to prove its contention.
The report also gives table OF the
owners of the winning cows and the
record production of each, according
to Roscoe D. Butr1an, official tester.
"In Denmark 20 per cent of all cows
are being tested in cow testing assoc
.iations,' says the report. I'm Wiscon-
sin we are planning to have II per cent
Of all cows in COW testing associations
by 1880. Racine county's share in
these plans calls for four COW testing
associations by 1880. That will be our
share In order to keep pace with the
progress planned. However, when we
consider that some counties are al
ready organized beyond that point, it
seems that Racine county should aim
to add one organization each year.
This can all be accomplished by the
right sort of boosting by cow testing
association members, our local pa
pers and all dairymen. We would be
glad to hear from any dairymen-in-
terested, and shall aim each month to
discuss some subject of interest to
all dairymen in Racine county.
Hints to Dairymen.
During June 459 cows were tested
in the Racine county COW testing assoc
iation, IS of which produced over 40
pounds of fat. Three cows were sold
for beef and two for dairy purpose.
''Most members are feeding grain
along with pasture and so maintain
their cows in good flesh. and protection.
There is not enough nourishment In
grass alone to maintain good produc-
ing dairy COW. Profitable production
Of dairy products depends on liberal
feeding and uniformly good herd man.
