farm products were greater during Janu-
ary 1886 than in January of last year
in Jail agricultural regions according

FAITH AND RESURRECTION
By Harry Troupe Breaoer

The snow may cover the hillside
The breath of Winter grow cold;
But somewhere the hills are hiding
A flower that Spring will unfold.
A flower of charm and beauty,
To gladden. the way we go;
And something akin to mystery,
That's seen in a flake of snow.
Spring is the magic unfolder,
Whose breath blows Winter away;
Who opens the gates of Heaven
For the Resurrection Day.
Spring pours it's grandeur unstinted,
Unselfish insooth with hand
Shrouded in mystery and wonder
That man cannot understand.
Then faith is born of wonder
To strengthen and cheer for aye;
For faith in mystery takes us
To Christ'S Resurrection Day.

Hunters Wear DOLUn Legs
of FOr-StiIL Trying.

Lindstrom-A sly old fox, who has
been hunting the region near the Stohl
schoolhouse near LindStrom, has again
escaped hunters and dogs, for the
'steenth time. For the second time in
two weeks Mr.. Fox got away, and to
make the escape more provoking he
used the trail made by the hunters.
The hunters have not given up, but will
be out there again next week. If the fox
cannot be caught, hunters will continue
to wear him out and then come back in
the spring and pick him up dead. The
hunters estimate so far the fox's legs
have worn off half inch, and if the
present chasing keeps up, he will soon
be running around on stubs. BY spring
the dogs will catch up or he will be
found dead, huntsmen state.

Wooden Fish Makes Life
Miserable for Spearmen.

Benson-Several guests of at least one
OF the liliputian mansions at Glenwood
have been gritting their teeth in desper-
alton as their spears have failed to
bring up one large, beautiful fish, as
they hover over the fishhouses which
dot the lake. Its all because the large,
beautiful specimen, which floats SO tan
talizing by the hole, is made of wood
and manipulated by sober-faced COM
panions. Time after time, the afore-
mentioned guests have hurled harpoons
at the fish, to no avail, as string pulls
it away from their reach. The only
trouble is, state the practical jokers,
that the fake fish is hard to keep sup
piled with those lustrous glass eyes.

DARJEELING India, April "a
The snow-locked secret of Mt. Ey-

perate assaults by man, may soon
.be revealed at last.
A new British expedition, headed
by the veteran Hugh Ruttledge whp
captained the luckless 1888 venture,
has left here in the fifth attempt
to scale the 29,140-foot monarch Of
mountains.

blasts that forever rage around the
peak, have proven insurmountable
hazards to Understanding them
back again and again. until some
almost believe the native Tibetan
superstition that demons" rule the

One of the chief aims of Ruitledge
and his band will be an attempt to
solve the l2-year-old mystery of the
fate of Mallory and Irvine. two
members Of the 1924 expedition who
vanished into the mists when less
than 100 feet from the top.
Demons said the natives.
To that, the white man can only
shrug. All that is known is that one

clearly seen by other members of
the party below. In the next, they
had disappeared-apparently swept
off the face of the earth by a sweep
of the white-vapor plume.
Their bodies never were found.

Experienced Alpinists say that

whom were ringsiders when the

record that won him titles in the
middleweight, light heavyweight
and heavyweight divisions
James j. Jeffries polled a few less
votes than Fitzsimmonss to become
second choice, while Detroits cur
rent negro sensation, Joe Louis, was
given third place.
The late James j. Corbett, first
heavyweight champion under the
Marquis of Queensberry rules, was
fourth-place choice, while the man
he conquered, the late John L. Sulli-
van, last title holder under the Old
London prize ring rules, ranked
seventh.
Gene Tunney and his arch rival,
Jack Dempsey, rated fifth and sixth
positions, respectively.
Three negroes, Jack Johnson, the
late Peter Jackson and Pudgy Sam
Langford, round out the first ten
in the order named.
Fitzsimmons earned his niche, in
the hall of boxing fame by winning
the .middleweight crown from Jack
Dempsey, the Nonpareil, in 1891, the
heavyweight title from Corbett in
1897 and the light heavyweight
championship from George Gard
