ALASKANS PROFITING
BY FARM NUISANCE"
Trick of Science Transforms Short
Tundra Moss Into Farm
Product.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (P).-A little
trick of science has transformed what
was considered a nuisance into one of
the most valuable products of Alaska.
1t is short tundra moss, which lies like
a carpet over approximately three
fourths of the territory's 100000 miles
Of. surface.
Short tundra moss has become a
standard poultry feed in Germany,
which is now exporting large quantities
to the United States. One shipment
of German moss to the Pacific Coast
consisted of 10000 tons, valued at SIG
to $40 ton.
Hitherto moss has been the bane of
the agriculturist, who used fire to free
the soil of its incumbrance. Large
areas were burned to reduce the mos
quito breeding fields. Now the farmers
attention has been directed to the value
of the moss. he is preparing to conserve
it and by that process make 1t pay a
fair proportion of the cost of clearing
land for the plow.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, November 30
Immediate danger to the Belgian low
lands from bursting dikes and over
flowing rivers seemed last night to have
been lessened, but the disaster of the
past few days has opened this little
na.ion's eyes to a hitherto almost dis
regarded hazard of first Importance
Not until now has there been full
realization that one-Sixth of Northern
Belgium can be flooded almost in
stantly as the result of bursting dikes.
Storm Subsidies.
Such flooding as has occurred during
the past few days has been bad enough,
but had there not been a cessation of
the bad weather last night further
crumbling of the dixie structure might
have caused disaster of far greater
proportions.
The strong northwesterly gale of the
past few days brought Antwerp for the
first time in its history face to face
with an overf1owing Scheldt River, the
wind interfering with the tide in con-
junction with the swollen rivers water
The situation produced was similar to
that Of the 1927 Thames overflow at
London.
Study Dixie System.
AS a consequence of conditions just
ending, it has been decided to survey
and study the dixie system with an eye
to possible revision.
Appearance of whooping cough in
some of the inundated villages has de-
cided authorities to evacuate children
from them. Some of these villages
probably will not be cleared of water
for two or three weeks and it is posi-
bic that after the children are taken
out the adults will be evacuated.
A national emergency fund is being
raised to care for the homeless.

TRIBESMEN LOSE OUT
BY QUIRK OF FATE
Indians in Florida Deprived of
Wealth by Refusal to Move
Westward.

TAMPA, Fla. Cp).-A few score In
dams who persistently refused to mi
CRATE from Florida to the old Indian
Territory a century ago have descend
ants today living in poverty and il
literacy, while cousins grow wealthy
from oil found under their holdings in
Oklahoma.
This quirk of fate was recalled here
when the sites of an old fort and a
military highway built during the Sem
mole wars of 1823-45 were marked with
tablets recently.
After formal territorial government
was established by Americans in
Florida, the legislative council first was
convened at st. Augustine in 1928.
About this time efforts we're begun 10
induce the Seminole Indians to migrate
to the lower Mississippi Valley.
This movement was resisted by the

PRINTS LETTERS IN SKY.
Device Invented by Operating Off.
Ger at Brooks Field.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (SpeciaD Sky
writing in airplaneS will give way 10
sky typewriting if an invention patented
by Lieut. w. H. Brookley operating
officer at Brooks Field, comes into gen.
eral use. The device is designed to
print the letters in the sky instead Of
writing them in script, as is now done,
and will work at night.
The device consists of tubes project
ing from the bottom of the plane in
such pattern that any letter of the
alphabet can be made by using the
proper arrangement of tubes. Each of
the tubes contains series of small
capsules parachute flares. The tubes
are hooked up to the observers seat
so that by manipulating a keyboard
the tubes which outline the letter de-
sired can be made to release a flare
In this way the flyer can write his
message in one straight trip through
the air. releasing the letters at inter
walls of a second or so.
Under the old method of skywriting
the flyer was compelled to use his
plane as pen, outlining each letter.

ROCKY MOUNT, N c., November
30.-The thirteenth juror, familiar fig
ure of criminal fiction, took tangible
form in a Superior Court trial here
and almost served his fictional purpose
of liberating the defendant.
Soon after a trial began Tuesday a
farmer named Capps quietly made his
way to the jury box and took a seat
along with the IL other men unnoticed
When the case was completed the jury
retired, deliberated and returned with
a verdict of guilty as charged"
But Capps. it appeared, didn't hold

Judge Barnhill easped in amazement

He turned to go, but the Judge had
different plan. He was detained

The following morning, when Capps
realized that stuffing the jury box was
scarcely countenanced by the court, he

and Indians followed in rapid success
sion until treaty was signed in March,
1887, near what is now Dade City. But
the end was not yet. After Osceola, an
Indian chief, was captured with II fol-
lowers a few months later, hostilities
broke out again and another treaty
was signed in 1912. Although war was
ended officially and many of the braves
moved westward, one tribe, numbering
100 or more, kept up armed resistance
under Chief Billy Bowlegs. 1t was not
until 1857 that these Savages were
pressed back into the Everglades beyond
the southern settlements.
Those of the Seminoles who sub
mitted to removal westward returned 70
their old Creek tribes A few years later
oil was discovered in Oklahoma and the
Indians became immensely wealthy

RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Creek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause"
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall Or
derlies attracts water from the Sys-
tenn into the lazy, dry, evacuating
bowel called the colon. The water
loosens the dry food waste and
causes a gentle, thorough movement
without forming a habit or ever in
creasing the dose.
Stop suffering from constipation.

The accident occurred when a scow was being launched off the ways at the cannery, and instead of jumping free, Otto, one of the beach men at the cannery, got caught in blight of rope when the scow was cut loose.
