SILVER FOX farm
J IS LOCATED HERE
Berlin Welcomes One More In
/. dustry to Its Activities
ANIMALS ARE VALUABLE

| In Kensington Tomorrow.
With, tho location In Berlin Of a
farm for the raising Of silver foxes,
the town has added one more indus
try to its growing list. The farm will
be located near Silver Lake on what
Is known at East Knoll and large
run is being constructed. 1t Is un-
derstood that the farm will COM
mence operations next month.
That such farm will locate in
Berlin is not generally known and
the fact that it will be devoted to the
raising OF the valuable silver fox was
learned today. 1t will be conducted
by a syndicate which makes bust
ness of establishing such farms
throughout the country where foxes
are raised for the fur trade.
1t is understood that the syndi-
cate does not own the foxes, but that
It undertakes to care for the animals
owned by fur companies at a certain
price per year.
In the center Of the run will be an
observation tower, more than Is
feet high, for the convenience Of
watchmen whose duty 1t will be to
survey the surrounding country and
to prevent the animals from escap-
ing. A guard will be maintained at
all times and powerful searchlights
will be installed on the tower. These
will sweep the surrounding land
through the dark hours.
The location Is an ideal one for
such a farm and the residents will
be taken care OF. Their value runs
from $1,000 to $500 q pair.
Removal Of the Ruins
It Is expected that work will be
started In the near future toward re-
moving from the corner OF Berlin
street and Pennington avenue the
blackened ruins Of the building
which once housed the Berlin post
office. the Cole Grocery store and a
living apartment. Tho state has pur-
chased the property. as Is known and

considerably improved.

now, over the edge of her seat. Sc
cure in the protection Of the leather
strap that girdled her waist, watch
ing with supreme satisfaction and
wonder the landscape flying past
her, she turned to the moon-faced
man and smiled joyously.
She saw that he was talking,
through a speaking tube, with the
evil-faced one in the pilots seat,
but she could not distinguish a
word. But it did not matter. Moth
ing mattered but that she was hav-
ing the supreme experience of her
life. Then thought that had been
trying for many minutes to get her
attention forced its way through
her childish pleasure in flying.
Jerry Macklyn had said he would
come to her assistance in an air
plane, if necessary. Why hadn't
she realized before that in all
probability Jerry had done this for
her, had, In some uncanny fashion,
learned of the predicament she was
in and had devised this bizarre
method Of escape for her? At her
journeys end she would find Jerry
waiting for her, his incredibly blue
eyes blazing with triumph and
wicked delight In his own cunning.
It was like Jerry to plan spec
taclilar rescue like this. He was
such boy, for all his cleverness.
"He probably hasn't given
thought to the hullabaloo that will
be raised at the hotel when the
abduction Is discovered" she smiled
to herself.
But she would not worry about
that now, could not picture the
end Of the adventure. Dear Jerryl"
she murmured and the wind seemed
to laugh at her as it thrust the
words down her throat, straight to
her heart.
After a long time-she had no
idea how long it really was-she
grew drowsy with the rush of wind
in her face and the throb Of the
airship jogging her body as sooth-
ingly and regularly as mother joys
her baby's cradle. She was almost
asleep when the moon-faced man
nudged her elbow and pointed
downward. Vee-Vee nodded and
smiled, then looked down, too. A
town was gliding past, far below.
She wondered idly what its name
might be, but it did not seem to
matter much. AS she leaned over,
watching drowsily, she could make
out narrow ribbon Of water, with
tiny lights studding it at frequent in
tervals, like diamonds in a necklace.
She realized, after a moments be-
wilderment, that she was gazing
upon the lordly Hudson, reduced al
most to nothingness by the magic
of changed viewpoint. The pilot
seemed to be steering his course by
the river, however, and she con-
Guided sleepily that the plane was
hurrying her to New York-and
Jerry.
Occasionally the airship dipped
sharply, descending several hum
bred feet in a few seconds, and
every time it did so her stomach
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-08-25

felt as If it were being pulled from
her body, by the clutching hands of
a thousand malicious devils. Some
times there came a sensation Of
humping, as If the ship had struck
It's nose against invisible obstacles.
She did not know she had been
asleep until the moon-faced mans
hand logged her elbow again. He
was stretching and yawning as if
he, too, had snatched a nap. She
was a little resentful Of having been
disturbed until she felt the plane
dropping like a shot bird. She
chung to the rounded edge OF her
seat and looked down fearfully. The
ground was rising up to meet them,
rising SO rapidly that her heart
struck In her throat. Then, as sud-
denly as the descent had begun, the
plane was throbbing peacefully
again, and she knew that it was
going steadily forward, though there
was no sensation of progress. In a
few seconds the pilot was heading
the plant toward earth in a long,
slanting sweep, and she knew that
he was in cjntrol Of the plane and
was maneuvering for landing.
The terrific noise Of the engine
stopped suddenly, and the absence
of sound was so acute that 1t hurt
her eardrums. Before she could &C
custom herself to the quiet. the
plane had hit the earth, was taxi
ing along a level stretch of meadow.
"Well, here we are! Have a nice
ride?" The moon-faced man was
gririnig at her as he leaned over
her to unbuckle the strap.
'T loved It'll" Vee-Vee laughed
shakily, the sound Of her voice odd
in her ears, assaulted as they had
been by hours Of thunderous noise.
"Oh, I'm stiff" she walled, as she
crawled out of her seat, assisted
by the moon-faced kidnaper.
The pilot, who had hoped out Of
his machine, came toward them
over the dew-wet grass Of the mead
ow, pushing his goggles high on his
forehead.
Nearly daylight" he saiG,
stretching his arms above his head
and stamping his feet to restore
circulation. "Godl I'm tired. How
far is 1t from here, do you think?
1 hope we landed in the right
meadow. All these hills look alike
from the sky"
"This is the landing place we'd
picked out, all right" the moon
faced man assured him, Cant
lose me, even in an airplane at
night. About a mile from here, I
reckon. Sorry, miss, but you've got
another walk ahead Of you. We
do It dare take the plane too close
to the shack. Want to change your
shoes?"

"My bag?" vee-Vee echoed in in
tense surprise. do you mean that
you have some of my clothes in that
bag?"
Ssure, lady," the moon-faced man
chuckled.
aHow cid you get my things?
Did you break into my room?"
"Oh, that was easy" the moon
faced man assured her. "Just had
to give the houseman on your floor
at the hotel a fat tip to turn the
trick for us. Hope he picked OUT
the things you like best, but we
can't guarantee that"
Don't talk so much" the other
man snapped. Heres heavy coat

hensively to his partner in crime.
"Serry 1t amt a real-up-to-oaUe

man chuckled. 'But there's plenty
of room for three, if you don't mind
a bit of squeezing. And there's gas
enough to keep us in the air the
rest of the night. Hop in, miss,
and let me strap you in" he added,
after Vee-Vee had slipped her arms
into an enormous, long. rough-tex-
tured overcost and had obediently
wound a corner Of her shawl tightly
about her head. 81 must say you're
a good sport, miss. Most flappers
woulda been yelling their heads OH,

Vee-vee laughed, a little thrill OF
excitement quickening her nerves,
as she allowed herself to be helped
into the rear seat of the airplane.
The moon-faced man took his place
beside her, and buckled the broad
leather strap that was to hold her
securely.
The girl shivered and clenched
her hands in the big pockets Of the
overcoat as the mechanical bird
TAXED bumpily across the field, then
began to rise almost imperceptibly,
on a long slant.
"Oh!" Vee-Vee gasped, her hands
flying out Of the pockets Of her coat
and clasping her stomach involun-
tarily, for the ground seemed to be
clutching at her, straining to keep
her.

"You talk too much" his partner
growled angrily, before Vee-Vee's
dazed brain could take in the sin
lister significance of the kidnaper's
words.
"a princel" she screamed, then,
realization bursting upon her, she
started to run across the meadow,
zigzagging on her ridiculous
French heels. Even before the two
men overlook her she knew that ii
was useless to try to escape. Her
ankle turned against a stone, and
she sank down intosthe wet grass
Of the narrow strip Of meadow be-
tween the lowering masses of the
hills, and began to sob gaspingly.
1t was not Jerry Macklyn after
all who was awaiting her. She had
not been rescued, but had been
flung from the frying pan into the
fire. But maybe-she stopped sud-
denly and rose to give herself up to
her abductors-maybe Prince Ivan

FLOOD RELIEF
JOB NOT DONE,
! SAYS HOOVER
Much Remains to Be Done
for Rehabilitation of
South.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.-Many
counties are still under water and
relief work in the Mississippi valley
wiz have to continue for many
months, Secretary Of Commerce
Herbert Hoover reports.
Hoover plans to return to the flood
zone next week to adjust various
problems.
Already the Government and the
Red Cross have spent nearly $685.
OOC,OOO caring for flood victims:
Sixteen millions of this was raised
by the Red Cross, railroads donated
three millions by free service in
transporting supplies, and Govern
ment agencies spent the other ST.
100000. Congress will have to pay
back the Government departments
at the next session, Hoover said.
Feared Bank Failures
The greatest, need following the
flood in Hoover's opinion was to pre-
vent a financial collapse that would
wreck the banks.
THAT was why intermediate
credit organizations were estab-
lished with the assistance OF the
States and the United States Cham
Der Of Commerce" he said. This
work was handled so promptly and
SO effectively that there were only
three bank failures"
Planters with more than 200 acres
of land had to rehabilitate them
selves with the assistance OF their
own financial credit, Hoover said;
they did not receive actual cash gifts
from the relief agencies.
The planters with less acreage and
tenant farmers we're handed money
outright to set them up in business
again.
Hoover said the situation AFFECT
ing the rebuilding OF the broken
levees was not as bad as was gen.
orally feared because of the recent
ruling by the comptroller general.
Engineers Plan
Army engineers had planned to
divert money from general funds
to rebuild the levees, but this was
found to be Illegal and the money
was refused. The engineers have
got around this however, Hoover
said, by pesuading the local levee
districts to raise the money with the
promise from the Government that
it would come to their assistance
later.
Hoover is Of the opinion that the
relief work can be carried through
to the finish with the funds now OH
hand, but that the greatest problem
facing the country is flood control.

ESSLING CASE is
DISMISSED FRIDAY.

Complete vindication OF Attorney
Victor +. Essllng, Mayor of Eveleth
against whom disbarment proceed
ings were brought a year ago, was
made by the state supreme court in
dismissal of charges, filed Friday IN
st. Paul.
The case against the Eveleth law
yer was heard in Duluth district
court before Judge Arthur E. Gid
dings of Anoka and was said to be
the most bitterly fought of many
aisbarment actions heard in Mime
sofa in recent years.
The action of the supreme court
today comes as a surprise in that
the dismissal was filed voluntarily
without application from Mr.. Ess-
hng's counsel. It is understood that
Mr.. Essling's attorneys had been
preparing arguments to bring before
the court in an effort to have the
charges against their client dismis-
sed.
The courts action Friday seems to
be without precedent in recent dis
barment actions in the state, in that
the high court voluntarily filed dis
missal which indicates how COM
plete Judge Giddings findings COW
cred the case.
