LONDON, October 4.-The Lind

Christmas in the rambling, ancient,
timbered house Of Long Barn at

vealed today.
Long Barns owner, Harold @. Nicol-

gave notice that he intended to re-
main until after Christmas at least. "
A friend once said, If Lindbergh
cracks his head few times on the
low doorways he'll decide to move"
Whether or not the lank flyer
cracked his head, he seems satisfied
with the picturesque retreat.
Even the landlord, who resides at
Sissinghurst Castle, Kent, said he could
not understand why the colonel Is con-
tent to stay in drafty Long Barn dur
ing the Winter.
The renting arrangement Is quite
informal. Nicolson originally offered
the residence to the colonel to stay
as long as you like"
A real estate agent at Seven Oaks
handles the rent. The colonel pays
promptly. Neither the agent nor
Nicolson give any thought or care
concerning the colonel's pursuits
there.
Friends OF the Lindberghs said the
couple is completely satisfied with
Long Barn as suitable place for the
rearing Of their second son, Jon, so it
is thought likely they will continue

SALAMANCA, Spain, October S.
Harold E. Dahl, the Illinois flyer who
joined the Spanish government ali
force and was shot down by Spanish
insurgents, was court-martialed today
in the grand salon of an ancient
Moorish palace.
Little moer than an hour was re-
quired for Dahl to present his story
to the military tribunal, contending
that he went to Spain as instructor
but was forced to fight.
The court withheld Judgment until
Thursday at 2 pm. It must forward
its verdict to Generalissimo Francisco
Franco for approval or clemency.
His thin blond hair carefully combed
and wearing new trousers and jacket
Dahl entered the court room at pm
with three Russian aviators, who fol-
lowed him to trial on the same in
CIldTKc- TcOPIllOu.
Replace Old Coveralls.
The new clothes were brought tc
him by Mrs. Merito, wife OF the de-
fense counsel, and daughter of the
Bolivian Minister to Paris, and re-
placed the coverslls he had worn since
his capture by insurgents.
A telegram from Mrs. Dahl, await
ing decision of her husbands fate in
France, came for the captive aviator
as the trial began.
Heart and good wishes Of the whole
world are with you. Love. Edith, -
the telegram read.
Col. Federico Acosta and four cap
tains comprised the court, with Capt.
Espinosa acting prosecutor.
The public was admitted and packed
the court room AS the judges, in full
uniform, waited while Dahl conferred
with counsel.
Dahl's Story Read.
AS the prisoners sat on bench in
the middle of the court room, Dahl S
story was read-beginning with his
going to Mexico, where he contends
he was promised $500 monthly to
fly for the Madrid-Valencia govern
ment, and ending with his capture by
insurgents.
Dahl related there never we're more
than five American pilots with the
Observation-Disclosures regime, mad that
there now was none.
He said he flew Russian planes.
The prisoner said that, after an
operation in France, he went back to
Valencia for. his pay, but instead was
forced to fight. He testified he held
a reserve officers commission in the
United State Flying Corps.
Dahrs Part In Trial.
His part in the trial ended when
he was asked if he had anything more
to say.
Il came only as instructor, not as
pilot" he told the court, which then
took up the case OF the Russian pris-
oners.
Dahl, tall and. broad-shouldered
was calm throughout and spoke clearly
in English. which was interpreted for
the court.

the American to death, but the in

Soil Conservation
Checks Awaited
County Agent Has Received NO
Word As To When Checks
Will Arrive

The arrival of the soils conser-
yation checks Is anxiously antici-
pated by all soils co-operators in
the county and likewise by the Of
ficers of the association. Although
all forms have been sent in from
the county agents office at st.
Cloud for payments on the soils
conservation program, no word has
been received as to when checks
will be coming. The amount OF
time usually necessary for the ar
rival of checks has past since the
forms were sent in. This year the
auditing of the forms and the pay
ment of the checks is being taken
care of in the Twin Cities and 1t
was earnestly hoped that payment
would have reached the county by
this time. A few of the surrounding
counties have received some OF
their checks although a number OF
counties to the south just recently
sent in their applications and pay
ments in those counties will be
even later than in Stearns.
Concerning the 1887 soils conser-
walton program mention might be
made of the fact that the ceiling
figures for soil depicting and soil
conserving acreage for the county
are expected in a few days and at
ter that the county committee will
work out soil depicting and soil
conserving bases for each farm
When this is done each and every
farmer that Is considering going In
on the program can definitely
make his plans as to how his farm
will fit into the 1887 program.

Interesting Tour
Through Texas
MIR. and Mrs. Andrew SOrensOn Re
turned From Southern Trip
Sunday

Fishing tales that will make local
anglers green with envy are the
property of Andrew Sorenson, and
he talks impressively of them and
of the opportunities that the young
State of Texas affords. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sorenson returned from a two
weeks trip in Texas in and around
Corpus Christi where Mr.. Soren.
son viewed business opportunities.
At Point Isabelle along the Gulf
coast Mr.. and Mrs. Sorenson enjoy
ed bit of surf fishing. Equipped
with deep sea tackle, long pole, big
reels, and weighted lines, Andy said
casts were made into the surf from
the shore of two hundred feet. AS
the bait is carried in on the break
ers, red fish snap at the bait. They
caught some red fish, dandy eat
ing said Andy, the largest weighing
II pounds and the smallest 8. And
Andy caught himself a nice sun
burned countenance as well.
Business, Mr.. Sorenson viewed,
was good. Everyone was busy,
there was little complaining and
few WPA projects as he went his
rounds of investigation. The open
ing of oil gushers near Corpus
Christi has provided that town with
a boom seldom equalled. Two years
ago the population was $4,000; to-
day it has leaped to $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Within expectation voiced by
business heads that the growth will
reach 100000 within the next two
years. Living costs, quoted Andy
are about the same as in Minneso-
Ia. Except that vegetables and
fruits are cheaper" he mentioned.
In the oil section Of Texas Mr.
and Mrs. Sorenson viewed many
interesting sights. Crude oil and
much natural gas are found In
abundance, and the unmarketable
gas is sent up in flaming torches
day and night. The gas is piped to
a clearing and set blazing. At night
these huge candles make an I'M
pressive sight. Number Of wells dug
each year is regulated by Texas
Conservation laws.
Along the Gulf Coast weather
conditions are ideal with an aver
age year around temperature Of
less than 30 degrees with cooling
trade winds. Tourists flock to this
section, said Mr.. Sorenson, and the
fact that McEllen, town Of 5000
boasts this winter $1,000 persons !:
