Asserts Cannibals Are
. Easy to Get Along With

Rochester. N. Y.-Cannibals are
easy to get along with If one knows
how to handle them, according to Capt.
Edward A. Salisbury.

over hot rocks"

their main DISH" he declared, but
prefer members of an enemy trjss

CHAMP HOLDS
SLIGHT EDGE
IN NSER|ES
BY SID KATZNELL

Bicycle enthusiasts are count
ing the days as they await the
latest Bieber- -Cauffman m a &c h,
wh'"N is scheduled to take place
the liter part of this month at
the Polo Field oval, West Po-
tomac Park.
Edgar ("Clark Gable") Bieber,.
the romantic rider of the speed
ways and tracks, is the present
champion. His arch rival, Charles
Cauffman, the only Benedict OF
the Century Road Club Associa-
ton of the District, won the
coveted honors in 1924.
CIashed Times
These braWnies have claShed
eight times. Bieber has emerged
victorious four times and Cauff-
man three, the other race being
Q dead heat.
The district championship meet
one hot Sunday last August pro
duced some of the greatest bike
riding seen in these parts in many
moons. Although Bieber won
every race, it was thrilling to the
last mark.
Ed defeated Cauffman in the
mile, half-mile, five-mile and TO-
mile.
Takes Two Races
Last October the boys had it
out again, and this time Charles
scored impressive victories. He
captured both ends of a double
header, taking the mile and 10
mile grind.
Later in the month the athletes
tied up again and Bieber won,
despite the fact he finished third
in a special handicap race. A
few hours later the boys raced
once more and the contest ended
in a dead heat, according to the
judges.

Real AuctiOneers

Redwood Falls expects a record
crowd this week when $500 worth of
merchandise prizes are auctioned for

carefully counted and not to overbid
their holdings.
Several hundred prizes are offered

efforts in the good will campaign
Bucks are given with purchases and
payments on old accounts at many
stores.

KISE ACCOMPANIED
FOSHAY, HENLEY TO
LEAVENWORTH JAIL
Former Utilities Magnate Talks
of Redwood Falls; Both
Have High Hopes

Sheriff-L.-J. Kise was one of four
officials who this week took H. H.
Henley and w. B. Foshay, former
public utility magnates, and six 9th
er prisoners to the federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth where they are
to serve 15 years on charges of u.s.
ing the mails to defraud.
Mr.. Henley is well known here for
his activity in attempting to promote
gas plant two years ago. He was
at that time under Indictment with
Mr.. Foshay following the collapse of
their enterprise in 1929.
The party left st. Paul Saturday
night and arrived in Leavenworth
early Sunday. On the train each Off
Ger had charge of two prisoners, Mr.
! Kise being assigned the former pro-
moters.
Mr.. Henley talked of Redwood
Falls, mentioning its active business
men and attractive stores. Both men,
Mr.. Kise said, were optimistic and
feel that help will come before they
have served very much of their terms.
They were met at the depot by
many reporters and newspaper and
news reel photographers. The pic
ture men followed them to the prison
and because of an infraction of the
rules, their cameras were taken from
them.
Once inside the prison walls, the
guards were relieved from further
duty and the prisoners were ordered
to line up. A prison guard jerked a
cigar from Mr.. Foshay's hand and
their personal belongings were TAX
en- away, giving them their first real
taste of prison life.
Other guards on the trip were Ber-
nard Anderson of St. Paul, United
States Marshal, Tom Beatty, deputy
marshal and Rome Sexton. One of
the prisoners was a Chinese dope
peddler and three of them were il
legal still operators.
The party arrived back in Mime
apolis Monday morning after spend
ing Sunday at the prison.

CORN-HOC DELAY
SHOULD NOT STOP
SPRING PLANTING
Final Adjustments Can be Made
Later, Bovee Says; New
Date Forwarded

Word has reached County Agent
Nate H. Bovee that the corn and hog
quotas on which the Redwood county
contracts will be based, soon will be
set by the State Board Of Review, st.
Paul. Additional county data on
which to base these quotas has re-
Gently been forwarded to this board.
"The contracts can not be formally
completed and shipped to Washington
until these quotas have been set and
the contracts adjusted to them," Mr..
sBevee says. The enormous number
of contracts submitted, the necessity
Of protecting all claims honestly
made, and the analysis of available
information upon which to base thf
county quotas have made the final ad-
justments much slower than original
ly could be foreseen.
However, farmers should not put
off spring planting because of this
delay. MY suggestion is that they
proceed with their operations accord
ing to plans they laid when applying
for contracts. Minor adjustments
that may be required later in con-
tracted acres and in the number Of
hogs finished should make no special
difference in farm plans now.
"The aim should be to plant appro-
ximately what the contract will per-
nit according to the 1928 history
of the farm. A little less corn than
is permissible, rather than little
more, should be the practice if in
doubt. The extra acre or two kept
out Of corn production may be plant
ed to cereal crops for hay or pasture.
If little more corn should be plant
ed than the contract permits, it may
be disked up later and the land sown
to millet or other crop for hay.'

Strange North Redwood Bird Walks Like Duck, Stands
Like Penguin, Sleeps Like Dog---But It's Rooster

a fowl. When called by Mr.. or Mrs.
Johnson, he will run to them and eat
out of their hands.
For months he was picked on by
other members of the flock and espec-
tally by one rooster. The other roos-
ter died sometime ago and immediat-
ely Ikey assumed the superintendent
position; now his will is law.
When being interviewed, key went
through part of his PAGES by eating
out of Mr.. Johnson's hand. Other
chickens feeling it was dinner time,
also rushed into the ring but keys
head lowered well above the rest and
he was first to taste the food.
When food is thrown on the ground,
it is a different thing. It takes key
longer to reach the ground, pick up
food and swallow it than the average
chicken. When he eats from the
ground, he has to squat, reminding
one Of the hunchback of Notre Dame.
When he sleeps at night he sprawls
out on his stomach like cat waiting
for mouse. The bird will not roost
like other chickens but sleeps under
the roost or under trough in the
yard. He probably could not balance
properly on a roost. When he sleeps
during the daytime, he sits ON his tail
feathers like dog. His postaxiee
plumes are badly worn from n e<cG<
