ing near Delhi Wis. whose peculiar
behavior has caused considerable dis
cussiOn in the community.
The foster parents have withdrawn
the girl from school and are protect
ing her from the curious who flocked
to the little farm house after stories
of strange manifestations involving
the child had begun to circulate.
The possibility that the girl is a
ventriloqust, offering an explanation
of noises ranging from shrill
whistle to tapping sounds apparently
coming from the wall, has been sug-
gested by Rev William Grace, ad-
wiser of the family.
If this point is proven, the preach
er said this would account for some
of the manifestations, but that others
could not be explained on that basis.
A sharp whistle is described by
witnesses, who have signed sworn
statements to Witnessing manifesto

Christmas Day, when the mother
said she heard toys dropping on the

Subsequent events in four differ
ent houses where the child has been
taken, include, according to witness
es. the sound of familiar voices,

Expedition Sails to Follow
 Course Recorded in Story

Wiseasset, Me, June IS P-The thousand year old secret of Viking exploration in North America will be sought by Lieut.. Commander Donald B. MacMillan on an arctic exploration that is to sail from this port on Saturday.
 From the bleak shores Of Labra~ dor and the stern coast of Green land. MacMinan and his fellow scientists hope to wrest an answer to the question which long has baffled historians.
 They will seek proof that the ancient Scandinavian seafarers knew the northern ways hundreds of ycare before Columbus set sail from Spain. Tn the tried and trusted schooner, Bowdoin. veteran Of three arctic voyages. and a new sister ship the Sachcm III. built this spring by Rowe B. MetCalf of Providence. k. l. The explorers plan 10 cruise the myriad unchar- tered bays and inlets Of Labrador, and then push slowly northward along the Greenland shore.
 On the way. animal, bird and fish life and geological specimens will be collected for the field mu- scum of natural history of Chicago.
 Before crossing the Straits of Belle Isle. the expedition will visit Yarmouth, \. S, to examine the so-caIled Morse stone" which MacMillan believes may be an au- thentic relic. Yarmouth, he thinks, would have been the logical place for the Norsemen 10 land had they crossed from Greenland to North America. Viking records tell of q place Of tremendous tides and this. MacMllan thinks, may have been the Bay of Fundy, noted for us unusual tidal conditions.
 Three women will go north with the voyagers. They will be Mrs Metcalf, Marion Smith of this place. great granddaughter of the first governor of Maine, and Maudc Fisher of New York. All will b, aboard the Sachem III.

FARM Bill PASSES
HOUSE COMMITTED
Bill Changed by Committee to
Avoid Complications Under
Antitrust Laws.

Washington-The administration CO
operative marketing bill was changed
in the house agricultural committee to
limit co-operatives under the act to
farm producers. The committee voted
to report the bill in this form. The
changes were made at the suggestion
Of the Cooperative Association and
the secretary of agriculture SO as to
avoid complications under antitrust
laws through industries engaged in
manufacture of agriculture products
finding loophole to escape prosecu-
ton.
A motion to press earliest considera-
tions of the house on the cooperative
bill was then adopted by the commit
tee. The bill as approved provides for
the establishment Of division of CO.
operative marketing in the department
of agriculture. The department will
employ experts on grain, livestock,
fruits, vegetables, and other staple
products. This measure backed by
the administration provides for an
appropriation of $225,000 to carry on
the work of the new division. It's
duties would include aiding co-opera-
tive marketing associations dealing in
farm products only, in disposing of
crops and spreading agricultural in
formation among the farmers.

WHEAT CROP AT
4 BILLION BUSHEL
Department of Agriculture Com
piles 1925-1926 Estimates
of World Supply.

Washington-The world crop Of
wheat for the crop season 1925-26 was
estimated by the department of agri-
culture at approximately four billion
bushels on the basis of returns re-
ceived from practically all producing
countries except China.
The latest estimates have indicated
a production of S.350.00O.000 bushels
outside of Russia. and the most recent
reports from that country have placed
its crop at 646,00O,000 BUSHELS. The
Argentine crop was estimated at 215,-
100000 and the Australian at 100000
600 bushels.
Floods and storms in Europe follow
ed by severe cold are believed by de-
partment experts there to have caused
considerable winter killing.
at seems, therefore, that this years
world wheat crop may be consumed at
an average price not far out of line
with that Of last year."

Yon far-famed monumental tower
Records the achievements of the brave.
And Angria's subjugated power,
Who plunder'd on the eastern wave
TT is a far cry from piracy in the
i East Indies to tower which stands
on Shooters hill near Woolwich COM
mon in England, but this tower, of
which the poet sings, is the connecting
link in a thrilling pirate story.
After the famous pirate, Angora, sui
tan of Timor, had been dethroned by
the English and had retired to the is
land of Ceylon his brother, Angria,
took up the quarrel. He proclaimed
himself sultan of another island, Lit
tie Timor, and having received from
his brother praam, fast boat with
an armament of 3S guns, set forth TO
prey upon the British shipping.
Eighty miles out from Bombay the pi-
rate captured the Elphinston, and put
ting the crew of 4S men into one small
boat, left them. Under the blazing
sun they set out for Bombay, but only
half of them arrived there alive.
Angria decided that any other prize
would do as well as an English ship,
and his next capture was two Chinese
junks, filled with spices and other
valuables. He plundered both, and as
an excess of cruelty ordered the crew
bound back to back In pairs and
thrown into the ocean. One of the
Cinnamon managed to get hand free
end. pulling out concealed dagger,
stabbed Angria in the shoulder. The
punishment melted out to him was
such as only a fiend could devise.
Angria ordered the skin cut off the
mans back and then had him beaten
with canes. Then he was dashed to
raft and thrown overheard for sun to
finish the work. Strange to say, the
Chinaman after three days was picked
up by a fishing boat and carried to
Bombay, where he lived to an old age.
For three years the sultan-pirate
continued his ravages on the eastern
seas, and during that time 1t is said
that he murdered no less than 500
Englishmen-surely fulsome revenge
for the wrongs-either real or fancied
suffered by his brother. Then the
British decided that 1t was time to put
a stop to the activities of this ma
rauder. Commander Jones of Fl. NJ S.
Asia. a man-of-war carrying "a guns,
was assigned the task. The Briton
laid siege to his capital city for II
months, and Angria's subjects, despair
ing of escape, begged him to surrender.
He refused, and one of mob which
had gathered before his palace, shot
him as he stood upon balcony ha-
ranguing them.
Jones was hailed as a hero upon his
return to England, and after his death
his widow built the tower on Shooters
him to commemorate his achievement.
