only for the few. My family was more
taken up with Oregon-that looks
pretty, they say. The last day there
they saw a pageant at Eugene, de-
picting the history of the state, in
which several hundred people took
part. 1t was very beautiful.
Journey HOmeward.
Tuesday morning the journey start
ed homeward with my family and my
father-fOur in the car. We chose a
different route because we wanted to
see more of the country and to visit
Tyler and other places. The first lap
of the journey was to Redfield. We
may complain of rain shortage in
Pine county, and to be sure it has
been dry here during July. but during
the last few days we have been bless
ed with some very beneficial rains.
In the vicinity of Redfield it is much
drier and it looks like a very short
crop this year. And so was the con-
dition east through Watertown. Then
we journeyed south through Clear
Lake. At this point we stopped for
flat tire repair and visited the office
of the Clear Lake Courier. AS lad
of 10 or IA 1 had spent some weeks
in Clear Lake entertaining with violin
music. l found the same editor there,
c. j. Ronald, still doing duty though
20 years old, and had pleasant visit
with him.
7 oil AVID prrDN II inn
crops looked better and it appeared
that they had had more rain than
around Redfield and WATERFOWL. At
Bookings l had expected to see my
old boss, r. A. Turner, whom / work
ed for "a years ago at Lake Benton,
but he was out of town. He is now
editor of the Brookings County Press.
Mrs. Turner, however, was there. She
helped occasionally on the Lake Ben
ton News back in the days when we
set all the type on rural newspapers
by hand, before the Linotype and 9TH
er type casting machines became so
universal. We had planned also to
visit Prof. Hansen of the State Agri-
cultural school and Prof. Carl Chris
Jensen, musical director there, but
time would not permit
On Old Home Grounds.
One hour later we were in Tyler,
back in the bread and butter state,
and in the community where l did

boys % years ago or more. 1t was -

town and my mothers grave. The
feeling that comes to one on approach
ing the old home grounds is some
thing that can hardly be expressed in
words. The last time l visited Tyler
was in 1910 when my youngest brother
and partner in business, Svend, grad
uated from high school. We lost no
time in getting out to the farm home
of a boyhood friend, Lars Bollesen,
where we were accorded a warm well
come, got good substantial meal and
had a real pleasant visit.
The next morning = Wednesday-it
was our intentions to leave Tyler at
about 8 or 10 but it was 1890 before
we got away. The first call in the

like walking in a park. Outside the
sidewalk on one long street there is
grass and the curb outside that again,
giving the appearance of boulevard.
1t is not done at any great expense,
just vision, an eye for beauty and
some labor.
HOmeward Bound.
From Tyler the journey went on
toward Minneapolis. Marshall was
the first stop. That is pretty town
of between 1000 and 5000 people.
From there we travelled on State
Trunk road No. IA through Redwood
Falls. Morton, Fairfax, and other
towns to Gaylord. That stretch looked
very dry. At Gaylord and on a short
cut to Henderson it looked pretty
we saw the tallest corn anywhere on
the 1000 mile trip. A few miles out
of Henderson, which is in the Mime
sofa river valley, and a beautiful
country, we got onto State Trunk road
No. which is paved into Minneapolis.
In the Mill City we stayed over night
at the home of my brother, DR.. Thor
valid Petersen, and at noon the next
day we were on our way to Pine coun-
ty on No. 1, arriving home in AskOv
Thursday, Aug 1, at 5 p. M, tired but
happy to be back again.
1t is inspirational to get out and
visit other localities, see new things
and profit thereby, but it seems also
that it makes us more appreciative
of our home environments.

SERGEAN1'e SUICIDE
NO CAUSE OF TEARS.
Former Foreign Legionnaire
Had Escaped Execution
by Firing Squad.

~ the Associated Press.
SIDI-BEL-ABBES. Algeria, Septem-
Der 14.--No tears were shed by the hard
boiled corporals and buck privates of
the French Foreign Legion when they
heard that Peter Klems, former
legionnaire sergeant and one of the
most audacious adventures ever to set
foot in North Africa, had committed
suicide In a Berlin police station.
Klems had escaped from a French
firing squad after being sentenced to
death by a court-martial for desertion
and enlisting with Abd-el-Krim, to
whom he became chief of staff. When
informed that he had taken up burglary
upon his return to Germany, his former
comrades expressed no surprise.
He was a natural born burglar"
they agreed
Promoted to Sergeant.
Six years ago Klems, fleeing before
the German police, reached Marseille
and enlisted in the Foreign Legion. He
took part in several combats against
Abd-el-Krim and behaved so well that
he was promoted to sergeant.
Klems' adventurous soul felt how
ever, that there was more opportunity
for advancement with the rebel forces
and he deserted to the RiffianS. ADD
el-Krim appreciated the skill of Klems
as a soldier and made him his chief
adviser
Klems taught the Rifians many
modern war methods, especially with
artillery. One morning in May, 1926,
the I'd French Division, under Gen.
River, reached the foothills of the Riff
range.
Storm Line of Hills.
1tal, lay 20 miles to the north, and
Gen. Marty. in his hurry to capture
the rebel chief, ordered the line of
hills two miles away to be stormed.
Four companies we're instructed to
reach the top of the hills and dig
themselves in.
Just as the black domes of the Sene-
galese appeared over the top of the
range, 77-millimeter guns raked the
1t seemed as If the Riff1ans had had
their two lone batteries trained upon
this point. Twenty-three men were
killed and so wounded before the four
companies could be brought back. That
evening at mess Gen. Marty said:
Every one of those shells was
eountersigned 'Klems.' He must be
captured when we get that Rifdan
army"
Enticed Into Territory.
But Klems escaped when Abd-el-
Krin's collapse came. and it was a year
later before a dark-haired girl en-
ployed by the French enticed him into
Foreign Legion territory.
He was sentenced to be shot. Five
days later he stole the uniform of a
French interpreter and walked through
the lines.
Fleeing to Germany, he took up his
old trade of burglary was caught and
was being questioned in a Berlin
police station when he slashed his
throat with a razor blade.

TUBEROSE ADDED
TO FALL BOUQUET
0ld-Fashioned Flower, Believed of
Mexican Origin, Requires
Long Summer.

In bouquets now the florist Is includ-
ing flower which is old fashioned but
never out Of date however much 1t may
be neglected. It is the tuberose, which
has been grown for 200 or 300 years,
but Is not known in wild state. Called
q native Of the East Indies and various
other places by horticulturists, it is
more likely to be Mexican.
The late DR.. j. N. Rose, distin-
guished botanist, found IL species of
tuberoses in Mexico and, although hor-
ticulturists are unable to trace an exact
relationship to any of these, it is pre-
surned that they are forerunners of the
cultivated tuberose.
Just now the single Mexican ever
blooming variety is in the market. It
has spikes of white flowers resembling
a loosely constructive hyacinth. The
commonest tuberose is double variety
known as double pearl. The florist
grows these for August and Autumn
bloom or he can force them for other
months, but does not commonly do so.
It Is often said that the disrepute
into which the tuberoSe has fallen is
due to its extremely heavy fragrance.
This is probably true for flowers taken
into warm rooms. In the garden, how
ever, the tuberose fragrance is just rich
and pleasing
For garden purposes plant the bulbs
In May, one inch deep, in light gar
den loan. They like warm long Sum-
mer for development, so for the locali-
ties where the Summer is shorter the
bulbs may be planted in boxes In the
house and transplanted into the open
ground as soon as warm weather sets
In.
For those who like the fragrant
flower in the house the tuberose can be
planted in pots in August, plunged In
the garden and brought into the house
dies, but young ones develop and will
bloom the second year. Tubers should
be kept In warm, dry places.

Doctor Found Women

More Often than Men

"calls" were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most often
sick, But their illnesses were usually
of a minor nature-colds. levers.
headaches, biliousness--and all of
them required first a thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
In the course of DIR. CaldwelPs Al
years practice, he found a good deal
of success in such cases with a pre-
scription of his own containing
simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In
1892 he decided to use the formula
in the manufacture of DIR. Caldwelfs s
Syrup Pepsin, and placed it on the
market
The preparation Immediately had
as great a public success as it
previously had in DIR. CaldwelPs
private practice. Now, the third
generation is using 1t. Mothers are
giving it to their children who were
given it by their mothers. Every
second Of the working day someone
somewhere is going to drug store
to buy it. There are thousands OF
homes in this country that are

how and why Jackie lived where
