Monday morning early, fire of un-
known origin destroyed a fine large
barn on the Frank Arnold farm on
the outskirts of Bartlett. 1t was
only through heroic efforts that the
Arnold house was saved. The eX.
citement caused by the burning of
the barn is believed to have caused
the death of Isaac Morrow, IS, one
of the pioneer business men of the
town. His lifeless body was found
in his home when members of the
family returned from the scene of
the fire. He was one of the first
residents of Bartlett to discover the
fire, and helped to spread the
alarm. For more than so years he
had been a jeweler at Bartlett.

New York.-In the rush and bus tie of gadding about New York, l realize now that I have shamefully neglected my namesake in the Bronx Park Zoo.
 Now, alas, it is too late! For Gill bert Swan, the aigret brought from the South American wilds by fel- low writer and then presented to the zoo. was lonely-so lonely! The poor bird was having no love life, and so was pining away. My best friends didn't tell me!
 And now, just as I was about to start happily into a new year, am informed that my inexcusable neg lect of my ward and namesake has caused others to come to Gibert's S rescue. I find myself rebuked and contrite. Was it not enough, I am asked, that this aigret was such a funny looking bird that they named 1t Gilbert Swan? Didn't the poor thing have tough enough time, handicapped with my moniker, with out being abandoned the day the zoo cage closed upon it?
 Thus, find this message on my desk:
 Ut may interest you to know that your feathered namesake in the Bronx Park Zoo is to have two more namesakes-three in all. Hav- ing waited In vain for further in- formation of gentle Gilbert's arrival, Grace Line officials got busy. Cables hummed. Barefoot Ecuadorian In- dians in Guayaquil set forth in the Andes with traps. Crates were made

and proper mates for Gilbert were captured"
 Of course, I feel that I should have had something to say about the selection of these mates. What do l know about their families? For all know they may never have been properly introduced.
 But, to go on with message:
 May we inform you, then, that two preening beauties are arriving on the Santa Clara from South not be blond, but feel they would pass even your critical inspection We can't help that, since there are no blond aigrets."
 Thinking back, should have taken these things up with Gilbert the aigret, before putting him in the zoo. Now that think of it, know little about his tastes, except that he adores shrimps. should have remembered that at Christmas. Imagine, however, my quandary for the missive continues: Do you think he will mind hay ing two wives? Is he capable of providing for them? And, finally, what will we suggest that the cura- tor name them?"
 Such questions! If the poor bird is anything like his namesake, he'll have trouble supporting one wife at a time. I don't know exactly what the arrangements for expense ac- counts are at the zoo. But he could make few extra pennies out of the publicity he gives the place. In fact I think I'll suggest to him that he hold out for two extra portions of shrimp each day.
 As for names-one might, be called Gilda, if she has the proper wiggle. The other might be chris tened Gretta, after her old name aigret. It's really too much for me Perhaps some gentle reader might have a suggestion or two, for-as the wire concludes:
 "The least you can do is give Gill bert's new wives q couple of moni- kers. And nothing will become final without your personal o. K."
 At any rate, here I am starting the new year with three new troubles.
 And I do hope the zoo moves the new wives away from the peacock $ cage, 50 that they won't acquire any vainer habits than they already have.

FAMOUS ISLAND PUZZLES. III, Home of "Wild Men"

Now we come to an island which is located between the South China sea and the Java sea. It is the third largest island on the globe, having an area of 290,000 square miles. Thus it is much larger than Great Britain and Ireland put together.
 On the island live people who have often been called "wild men," They are members of the Dyak tribe, and in former days were widely known as headhunters. At the present time, most of them are peaceful farmers. The chief crop Is rice.
 The Dygaks have red teeth. The color comes from their custom of chewing betel nuts.
 Strange gods are worshipped by natives of the island. The god of thunder is Bajlingo Laki Pesong is the god of fire. There is also a harvest god, as well as god of madness, q god of fear. q crocodile god and three gods of life. In the junglcs and forests of the island are elephants, rhinos, apes. wild oxen. tusked pigs and honey bears. Plying foxes" leap from

San Salvador. (Sipa)-Upon the initiative of the Diario Latino, of this city, business men and farmers are gradually creating a fiour-mill- ing industry consuming native grains. This is in response to the demand for national industries and other crops than coffee.
 Alberto Yung, an engineer of La Union, undertook survey of types of grain grown in the Belgian Congo, Egypt, Turkey and Algeria, under climatic conditions fairly equal to those prevalent throughout El Eal- vador, and 1t has been demonstrated that one crop yearly may be raised on non-irrigated and two on irri- gated land.
 The first flour mill started opera tions three years ago. A second mill with ten times the capacity of the first Is now being constructed.

tree limbs and sail long distances before reaching the ground. The curious flying frog" is likewise found on this island.
 Holland and Great Britain own the island, but less than 1000 white persons live there. Most of the population of 100000 persons is made up of skinned natives, but many Chinese dwell near the sea coast.
 By this time. you may have guess ed the name cf the island. If not, you can hardly miss it if you look at a map of the East Indies.
 I have cut the island into seven pieces. If you cut these pieces out, l think you will not have much trouble pulling them together in the right way.
 Before cutting the pieces apart, 1t Is well to paste them on thin card board. A used government post card will do. Be sure to spread the paste thinly, and to let 1t dry before cut ting.

There was time to go in and see Molly now. Conchica came out as Juanita knocked on Molly's door. Juanita saw Divitt sitting in the dim room beside Molly's bed. He looked up and seeing Juanita, made a dismissing gesture, shook his head.
 She too sick now" Conchita whispered. Tomorrow, mebbe.
 Juanita went into the paricrs. Not many were there. The crowd was not the same. She and Cab .eau were like ghosts revisiting a changed scene. At ten o'clock Con = chita appeared in the parlor door, signaled to Juanita.
 Molly She ask fer you again. Conchita was scbbing as they went through the court. Many time she have ask for you. Divitt say no But now-anything she say"
 Divitt stood by the window, his back to the bed. Molly lay white and small on the great pillow. Her eyes were closed. Conchita went tc her side.
 "Juanita have come, bobby y Conchita's caressing words :. #. A faint movement of Molly's eye ids.
 Juanita drew nearer the bed as Conchita beckoned and made room for her at Molly's side.
 Juanita bent over the bed. Mol ly," she whispered. Molly's blue eyes opened slowly Some thing like a smile vanished from her face She tried to lift hel head Her lips moved.
 Molly lifted hand, pointed Conchita and Juanita looked ques- tioning around the room.
 Juanita leaned closer. What i! it, Molly?"

Rain was falling Tn the court. Rain all day, all night. Breaking clouds. A filter of sunlight. More rain.
 Somehow the parlors went on. Still Juanita, yelled and silent, moved about in the changed crowd. The little note from Molly-Molly's last message to her-had begged that she return. Molly had wanted to say more but all she had had time to convey was her wish about the shawl. Conchita knew already what Molly wanted with the shawl, having heard her say. But appar- ently Molly desired that Juanita should know too Together they had 1 folded it about her as she lay asleep, Molly looking all seraph at the last.
 Juanita knew now that she would stay until the end. since Molly had wished it. But the end was not far. There was a new chief of police. Places like Divitt's were being clos ed daily under his regime. This would not happen to Divitt's un- less it happened soon.
 The parlors would die of them selves, now that Molly was gone. Divitt's heart was not in them. He had come in but once in the five days since Molly died. If they re- vived it would be in the form of Divitt's Dive. Divitt would not need her-Juanita-then.
 He had said nothing about her going again with the marquesa. Now that he knew she was aware of the role in which he had cast her, he had said no more. Release would come to her in some way be- fore long Divitt, if she knew him well, would pay her for her Serv- . ices in the parlors. She would go
 far away, even as Kirk thought al ready that she had gone. Rain falling all day, all night. A ] filter of star light. More rain. l The marquesa sat in her room, , listening to it's drone on the ball. , cony, it's drip from the eyes. Di- } witt would not let her go down into

LONG DISTANCE FLIGHT SCHEME
 OF TWO PLIERS
P an gb orn and Herndon May Not Hop from
 Japan to Seattle

SEAT TILE, Sept. 21-Cly d e Pangborn and Hugh Herndon may try for a new long distance flight record, the Washington Chapter of the National Aeronautical Associa . tion is informed by telegram from their manager, H. D. Hiebner, in New York City.
 Heibner said Panghorn and Kern don are considering a long-dis- tance attempt" as an alternative to the flight to Seattle but the de- cision depends as to whether "suf- ficient" inducement is forthcoming from Seattle for flight euding here. The destination of the pro- posed long-distance flight has lot been decided nor disclosed, the wire said.
 Russell Boardman and Johr Pol ando New York to Turkey fliers, hold the record of 5,O39A miles.
 Heibner wired that change of plans was considered because the rules of the Aeronautical Assoaia- tion Chapters prize here of S25, 900 required a takeoff within 50 miles of Tokyo. The fliers chose Sam ushiro Beach, 400 miles from Tok- yo. because of a longer runway.
 The Washington Chapter offi- cials said they cannot change the rules because already half a dozen Alaska fliers refused and others refused but offered to fly from some northern Japanese point.
