felt OF his neck and that 1t wa
stiff and he was stone dead.
I had flown over the town il
the rain only a few minutes before
and as in those days it was no
difficult for any one to believ'
anything about an airplane thu
town promptly locked it's door
and came crawling and wadins
through the swamp. The older ir
habitants followed the railroa;
track around it's edge and by thu
time I returned with the farmer
and a rope there were enough
townspeople to solve my problem
by carrying the ship back on tt
solid ground.
They were undoubtedly niue;
disappointed at having come Sc
far on false alarm, but turned
too willing to help me get the ship
out of the swamp.
The next edition of one of the
Minneapolis papers carried the
following item, which typically ex-
emplifies what has beer the aver
age mans knowledge of aero
nauticS:
AIRPLANE CRASHES NEAR
SAVAGE
Charles A. Lindbergh, son
of ex-Congressman Lindbergh,
crashed near Savage, Mime
sofa, this morning. He was fly
ing in his plane three hun
dred feet above the ground
when it suddenly went into a
nose dive and landed on its
propeller in a swamp. Lind
bergh says he will be flying
again in three days.
After reading this and similar
accounts of equally minor acct
dents of flight, it is little wonder
that the average man would far
rather watch some one else fly, and
read of the narrow escapes from
death when some pilot has had a
forced landing or a blowout, than
to ride himself. Even in the post
war days of now obsolete equip
ment, nearly all of the serious &C
cidents were caused by inexper-
fenced pilots who were then al
lowed to fly or to attempt to fly
without license or restriction about
they could coax into the
air and to carry any one who
night he beguiled into riding with
hem.
My next move was to wire to
little Falls for a propeller which
Nyche had expressed from Ameri-
JUS, and two days later joined my
'ather in his campaign at Marshall.
My father had been opposed to
ny flying from the first and had
lever flown himself. However,
lie had agreed to go up with ME at
he first opportunity, and one af-
ernoon he climbed into the cock
it and we flew over Redwood Falls |
ogether. From that day on I never
leard a word against my flying and
lie never missed a chance tc ride
n the plane.

later. In such cases leaving the
calf with the cow longer thar two
days may be a great help. The
calf's frequent sucking and mas
saying of the cows udder seems to
aid in reducing the congestion.
Milking three or four times a day
and massaging the udder with cam
phorated oil may be necessary in
some cases. Keep the cow in the
barn and away from drafts.
Give the new born calf atten-
ton as soon as it arrives. Some
times a shiny membrane covers it's
nose. If this is the case, remove
it so that the calf can breathe
more easily. Usually the cow will
dry the calf, by licking it. If she
does not do this, dry it with straw
or some other material. The calf
should have the first milk, or colos-
trum, which is very beneficial to
the calf for cleaning out it's sys-
tenn and in aiding the organs to
start functioning properly. To
guard against navel infection, ap-
ply tincture of iodine to the calf's
navel soon after birth.
Minks can he raiased in captiv-
ity successfully, and the quality of
fur produced is in no way inferior
to that trapped in the wild. These
animals are very prolific, and when
fed and handled properly breed and
produce young regularly, their
filters usually numbering from six
to eight. Whether mink farming
for fur can be made profitable is
matter for each prospective farm
er to decide for himself. So far
those who have made money with
minks have done it through the.
sale of breeding stock. Some
helpful suggestions on mink raising
have been prepared by the Biolog-
ical Survey and published by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
in Leaflet No. 81F, mink Rails

When rats are known to hide

Evanston, ILL.,, March 2l.-(AP)-
Little Joie Ray, who burned the mile

years, has burst again into bright

Joie ran three miles at Patten

With this victory to his credit,

JACK DEMPSEY.
AGAIN ENTERS
TITLE JABBER
Ty Cobb Plays This Year Be
cause of His Affection
For Connie Mack
BY ALAN y. GOULD
(Associated Press Sports Editor)

New York, March 21.-(AP)-
The Tunney-Rickard heavyweight
combination may be entirely serious
in counting Jack Dempsey out Of the
picture this year.
Then again, the promoter may be
trying out little ''silent treatment"
in the hopes that the ex-champion
will change his mind and stage an
other comeback.
No one knows better than Richard
how much it will annoy Dempsey to
read about heavyweight plans in
which he isn't included for 1928.
The call Of the ring is difficult to
resist. especially if it happens to
echo to half-million dollar tune.
when it's in a fellows blood, how
is he going to quit" remarked 40
year-old Ty Cobb as he donned his
uniform for another season with the
Athletics.
Fighting is in Dempsey's blood
and always has been. At 80 he is
still young enough to be in the thick
Of the fray. Corbett, Fitzsimmons
and Jefferies we're nearer to 40 when
they quit.
Affection Plays Part
Cobb's return. to the game this
spring also is due in large measure,
he admits, to affection for the vet
eran pilot Of the Athletics, Connie
Mack.
Remember that day last winter
in Philadelphia when had a talk
with Connie Mack about playing ?"
Cobb recalled in q recent interview.
"Well l decided then and there l
was through, but my heart was in
the game. l felt / was getting old.
It was hard to feel that way, hard
to know that was through.
II remember now standing in that
room after it was all ended. Sud-
denly the phone rang and l said:
If that's Connie Mack, tell him I'll
play for nothing"
This alliance Of Cobb and Mack
is q big contrast to the days Of old
when Ty, as Detroit's big star, was
continually q thorn in the side Of
the Athletics, fiery figure who
needed police protection occasional
" when he came to Philadelphia.
"In those days we played Cobb,
rather than the Tigers, Mack once
declared.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson &c McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-The bull
market is still on. Only $50 issues
closed with losses Tuesday. You
may think this is intended to be
facetious, but we are really serious.
The statement truly describes the
state of the public mind. The fact
that 450 issues lost from a fraction
to substantial number of points
is as nothing compared to the fact
that some Is or 20 stocks advanced
from 2 to or points. How much
of the advance was due to short
covering, no one can say, but we
have no doubt that shorts were
responsible for a goodly part of it.
The entire situation is sort of
an enigma. It's weakness is its
strength. A great many have seen
the beariShness Of the markets po-
sition and have accordingly taken
the short side. 1t looks as though
they have even taken that side in
Steel, Notwithstanding the excellent
improvement in business. At all
events, we are left in this posi-
tion-that the short interest is
probably concentrated in such 3
moderate number of issues that
they rise impressively, while the
great body of stocks without the
short interest is declining. At all
events that's the way the puzzle
looks to us.
