PONCA CITY, Okla, June 26.- The gentle art of bulldogging steers from hurricane decks of horses, and even automobiles, has become too humdrum for western spectators. Now it's done from airplanes.

 Hoover proposes to make the leap from ladder dangling from an airplane's undercarriage. He says the profession impresses him as one with future for young men.

CARTAGENA, Spain, June 26.- A giant four motored seaplane, named the Nomancia, formerly own ed by Capt. Ramon Franco, has been refitted and refuelled and is ready to depart for the Azores in quest of the missing fliers.
 Mechanics said one engine caused Major Franco to abandon the No- mancia and another plane was substituted for his attempt on his transatlantic flight. The Nomancia flight is considered the most hope ful in efforts to locate the fliers as it is able to cruise in the vii cinity of the Azores more fully than others now in the search.

Another new building will soon be

The First National Bank, now Occu-
plying the corner across from the court
house, will begin building as soon as
the Allen building now nearing COM
pletion, is ready for the banks tenn
pOrary quarters.
The building planned by the bank
will be in harmony with the Allen
building in design and color. 1t will
be brick building rising to the same
height as the Allen building. The
size will be twenty-five feet east and
west with fifty-five feet frontage on
highway No. /. Windows on the west
side will provide for ample lighting
and will be four and One-half feet

BANTLEON, PINE CITY
SPORTSMAN, RETURNS
FROM CANADA TRIP

William Bantleon, one of Pine
county's leading sportmen, returned
Monday from a trip on the Canadian
border. While on their trip, Mr.. Bant-
Icons party spent day with the boy
scouts of Pine City who are now en-
joying an outing with their scout
master, d. w. Thompson. Reports
coming back from the scouts show
that they are having the time of their
lives and will come back with many
thrilling tales for their less fortunate
brother scouts who could not make
the trip.
Mr.. Bantleon was undoubtedly the
man to give the boys a send-off on
their scouting trip as he makes many
journeys into the wilds in search of
fish or game. His barber shop at
Pine City is an interesting center for
sportsmen, as he has many pictures
showing results of his trips and also
several excellent mounted specimens
that thrill the heart of the hunter.
These specimens consist of beautiful
deer heads and moose heads all at
tractively mounted and arranged.

VERY
NUMEROUS FOR NEW
HIGHWAY PATROL

The Minnesota Highway department
is still receiving applications for APP
pOintment on the state traffic patrol.
Nearly 700 applications for these jobs
are already on file. The law limits
the force to thirty-fve men, and ac-
cOrding to c. NJ. Babcock, commission
er of highways, the new unit will
more likely be started with smaller

sequently lot of applicants are going
to be disappointed.
Men will be selected who are be-
tween the ages of 25 and 80, and they
must pass rigid tests to show that
they are physically fit. Preference
will be given to single men and to
men who have had military training
or experience in handling highway
traffic. Those who pass the tests will
go on the eligible list and be appoint
ed in the order their applications are
received.
The men selected will be given sew

Washington, June 12.-While sur
face signs have indicated that Presi-
dent Hoover remained alOOf from the
Congressional chickering's on farm re-
lief, experiences of the last week have
shown that this condition existed more
in fancy than in fact. Those who
have been closely connected with the
inner workings of the legislative
chamber say that the magic work of
patronage" was passed, which had
all the effect of the so-called big

onel Roosevelt in his dealings with a
rebellious Congress. The sudden and
effective peace with the senate over

measure is attributed to the influence
of the President rather than the party
leaders on Capitol Hill. With the
entire membership of the house of
representatives subject to change at
next years elections and the terms
of 80 senators expiring at the same
time, the patronage item is Mr.. HOov-
er's trump card in dealing with con-
gress.

impression that he was ill and down
and out Miss Hanna Andreen, the
head of the institution, gave him the
best of care, and when he, never the
less, felt that death was approaching,
he asked Miss Andreen to summon

decent to humor him, and not believ-
