SALAMANCA. Spain, July al
Self-cast as man without a coun-
try" Harold Dahl, %, Of Champaign,
ILL.,, and Madrid, Spain, sat in q
white-washed insurgent jail today
running nervous fingers through his
thinning blond hair and pondering
the fortunes Of aerial warfare that
landed him there.
Specifically he was concerned by
these problems of the future:
Would he ever see his wife again?
He was married only six months ago.
Would he ever see Champaign
again? He was convinced that under
the United States neutrality law he
had lost his citizenship.
Would he be taken before an in
surgent firing squad some sunny
morning annd be shot as a mercenary
enemy Of the Spanish insurgents? 4?
There Is . faint chance he will be.
Or, would he be traded with the
Spanish Government forces for an
insurgent prisoner? He said he was
sure he would be shot If he goes
back to Madrid.
Wife Living in France.
Mrs. Dahl, meanwhile, is living at
Cannes, France, where she is supposed
to be getting the $500 weekly salary
which Dahl said the Spanish govern
ment promised for his services in its
air force.
This writer visited the disconsolate
Dahl In his cell-the first American
he had talked with in some time. He
conversed freely on his service with
the Madrid forces-a brief record, alb
ruptly terminated in a gust of ma
chine-gunfire that ripped the fabric

was flying over the Madrid front.
But he told the story like this:

COLLECTORS.
DID you know Eve didn't until our
embassy espionage system re-
ported in at dusk yesterday that
small boy stamp collectors make a
practice of calling at the foreign lega-
tions every Saturday morning to beg
for odd philatelic items? So general
is the practice, in fact, that some Of
the embassies have boxes in the hall
where the stamps, franks. etc. are
placed so the lads can help them
selves.
Of course, the moppets must be ad-
mitted first by flunkey. who usually
tries to prevent any of the lads from
doubling up on him twice in a morn
ing. Inside dope on this situation Is
that it's not so hard to fool the buffers
at the japanese. Russian or German
Embassies. but beware the Rumanian
major domo, who never forgets face.
That's what the lads say. anyhow.
We can't quite decide whether these
calls are going to train the youth OF
Washington for diplomacy. business
careers of butling.

COURT HOLDS
PART PAYMENT.
ERASES DEBT

Full protection for all farmers
against attempts of creditors to
collect the balance of a debt that
has been scaled down so a Dor
rover could get land bank or a
commission loan, is assured by
the unanimous decision of the SUI
preme court of North Dakota in
the case of the Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul VS.. Rudolph Koslofsky
announcement of which was
made from Farm Credit admins
tration offices in st. Paul this
week.
"This decision means that the
creditors agreements which the
land bank and land bank commits
sioner have insisted upon where
ever necessary to close loan
ever since 1884 can be enforced
under the law and will be en-
forced to the fullest extent" said
John Thorpe, general counsel of
FCA of st. Paul. "It gives full
effect to the intent of the law,
which was set forth clearly by
Senator Wagner when the emer-
gency farm mortgage act was I'M
der consideration in congress.
Senator Wagner pointed out that
in making provision for scale
down of debts, the benefits of the
discount must be transferred to
the farmer in the form of a re-
duction of the principal of his
mortgage"

Magazine Racket
Failed at Window

Windom-Five young men with
an old racket, that of selling ma
gaines "to work their way
through college," found the going
tough at Window last week and
as a result have 80 days to think
over their misdeeds in the county
Jail.
On complaints of several wo-
men who became suspicious re-
garding the circumstances and
representations made by the men,
the statesmen were arrested by
Sheriff Bell.
Before approaching house, the
-~oec would find out to what
church the householder belonged
and who their minister was.
Knowing this, they went from
house to house, telling the women
that their minister had sent them,
requesting that they help them in
their worthy cause.
Investigation revealed that the
men had worked the same racket
in Jackson. There they refunded
the money they had taken and
were released.
In court at Window they were
found guilty of attempting to get
money under false pretenses and
were sentenced to serve 80 days
in Jail or until some disposition
may be made of their cases in dis
trict court.

average monthly earnings for
January 1887 were $56.64, while
the average for the entire region
was $47.86," Christgau stated.
Throughout the entire six-month
period covered by this study the
actual earnings of WPA workers
have been greater in Minnesota
than in any of the surrounding
states and have even been higher
than those in such industrial areas
as Illinois, -.".-r ..
Mr.. Christgau pointed out that
"both the high hourly rate and
the relatively greater number of
hours worked per month were re-
sponsible for this record" Min
nesota's average work month of
121 hours was exceeded only by
three other states in the region.
Despite the handicap of winter
weather conditions, time lost in
this state was less than 10 per
cent.
