Fog horns. by Howard Pease
When young Greg Richards broke
through the threatening line Of
guards on Pier AZ to go aboard the
8. 8. Araby on his first job as able
seaman, little did he realize the
even greater danger into which he
was walking. For he was soon to
find himself closely linked with q
series of strange accidents on this
ship including fire In the hold
and a leaking valve. Before long,
Greg was to receive threatening
messages and to encounter the ter
rorizing Beef Squad. Greg's days
were to be full Of suspense and an
xiety but his courage and keen
thinking were to do much toward
uncovering q dangerous plot.

Importations of Pork

American farm markets have been continually
threatened by large importations, a problem which
seriously affects prices and which more and more
proves the idea that American markets should be
kept for the American farmer. In confederation Of
Stockman, of October Is 1887: During the first five
months of this year the United States bought 30OOO
900 pounds of dressed pork abroad. The imports in
May were "a percent greater than in May year
ago. The amount Of ham now entering the port of
New York equals onefourth the production at the
Chicago Stock yards. Much of this ham comes from
Poland. CONTROLLED mportations could well replace
production control at least could be used supple

Panay Incident Settled

Americans should express joy in the satisfactory
settlement of the Panay incident, which it is said
was the greatest crisis since the world Japan
has acceded to the wishes of the United States and
the acceptance of the offer coming it did during
the Yuletde gives assurance that Americans wish to
to practice Peace on Earth Good Will Towards Men,
However our government was justified in seeking
from Japan and guarantees that such acts
would not occur in the future. And yet, long
there are American lives and American property in
China's war zone, there is danger of trouble.

rose from humble beginning to a place in world
craftsmanship, died last week Wednesday. He was
hailed champion Of peace and in 1929 award
ed the Nobel prize for his authorship of the KEEL
loggBrand peace pact. Oddly his rise to fame came
after his defeat to the United States Senate by Hen
drick Shpstead who following the death Of Mr. KEEL
logg, said Both Minnesota and the nation have
shared the fruits of that distinguished career" Men
of Frank Kelloggs type needed in the world to-

humble beginning a pioneer farm in Southern
Minnesota he rose through sef-effort, in typical
American fashion, to heights before attained
by any of Minnesota"
