no overhead.
Barrels Of apples and boxes Of
peanuts are likewise sold on the

working their way through college.
The owners report good profit with
no losses attributed to theft. Foot
ball badges worth $125.OO were sold
during one game and the money
stood unattended IN the crowd Tor
many hours.
An overcoat hung in I cloakroom
Tor several months. Each day e
was taken down, busted and re-
placed. The owner would call for It
one day.
This honor code was established at
the school by Gen. Robert E. Lee

Argentine Flax Crop
Becomes Farm Asset

Buenos Aires. Jan. 23.-(R-Argen-
tine flax has been going up in smoke
for years, but It may become q valu-
able asset to the farmers II the In
vestigations Of George r. Luke Of the
Linen Thread company of Glasgow
are successful. MIR. Luke believes
that the linseed and flax industries
could be combined with profit for
Argentine farmers.
The reason for turning to the Ar
genttne for flax Is seen in the high
price demanded for Russian flax. Be-
fore the war It could be bought for
$500 ton. Now the market price is
$3.50. It Is believed Argentine flax
could be marketed much more
cheaply.

Shortage Needless for Great
Many Years in State

gion in the Dakota sandstone arte-

ed Prof. Simpson sid, the natural

that he had become exceedingly for

Of the approaching demise Of his aged
wife: that It had been necessary to
administer one or more drugs in order
to permit him to relax and obtain
rest. It Is held that such evidence

ctent to support verdict for the con-
testants on such issue.
