full-size whales were found within a
mile of the famous salmon leap on the
River Shin, and carcasses of others
were scattered over distance of 30
miles.
The last record of the false killer
whale as a living animal in European
waters was the shoal which entered
Kiel harbor in 1861, and the several
specimens which were found the next
year on the coasts of Holland, Den
mark and Sweden. Since then the
species has been seen very frequently
in Tasmania, Travancore and in the
southern hemisphere. s

But the spirit Of Walter c. Noe, University of Wisconsin stu dent who committed suicide to learn of another world did not return.
 Included in the circle was Robert Horton. Oak Park. H., who was mentioned in farewell note by Noe as the one before whom he would appear in spirit. Noe shot himself Sunday night after writing he would attempt to communicate with Horton last night and Friday night.
 Again Friday night the brothers will resume the vigil.

Once helpless from lame back,
 now does all her own work

Madepractically helpless by astrained back, an active young housewife tried everything she could think of, and at last found quick and complete relief. from simple, old-iashioned remedy.
 "The pain in my back was like . knife stab," she writes, "and it left me helpless. Sloan's Liniment was given to me to ease the pain. and I am now able to do all my own work"
 Sloan's gets results because it. doesn't just deaden the pain. It stirs up the body's own forces to get rid of the cause.
 Just pat it, on lightly without rubbing, and at once you feel . warm, comforting glow, as the healing blood is sent coursing through the sick tissues -stiff, contracted muscles re- lax, the pain stops, and soon normal conditions arc restored.

farmers who grew peas for this Vln-

Good prospects are expected on

early crop of peas.
The growers tried for four years
TO get a Gamer to locate Vlner
station here. Continued effort and
persistence brought results this sea-

locate a cannery in Ellendale that
would can peas, lima beans, string
beans, sweet corn, sweet potatoes
and pumpkins the farmers OF Ellen

spread of crops and the Gamer
would realize more profit on the
money invested in buildings anu
