Today; Ccclsr Promised Saturday -President and Editor 4tf Quarantinsd to PcGsn't flesjj Hslp Lincoln, July 6 (LP) It was a case of becoming exposed to scarlet fever or declining to go to the "protection" of a quarantined family In Lincoln during a recent storm here. The wind was blowing very hard. The police "telephone rang incessantly, reporting wires were blown down by the wind. The sergeant picked tip the receiver to hear a woman's anfcious voice plead for "an officer to come out and protect me." The conversation developed the fact that the woman's home was quarantined for scarlet fever. The officers decided the storm would not justify going to the residence to afford the lady mental solace.

CROW USES FLAGS TO FEATHER NEST Upper Sandusky, (LP) After a great deal of sleuthing to find the thief of many flags from the graves of war veterans in a cemetery here, authorities are chagrined to find they cannot mete out the punishment deserved by "the world's meanest thief." On Memorial Day American Legion members and representatives of the G. A.
K. placed small silk flags on the graves of all veterans. The following day thre'e wer6 missing from one of the cemeteries. Each day thereafter the same number disappeared until they grew sparse. A watchman was hired for the purpose of keeping track of the flags but to no avail.
They steadily disappeared despite all preventive measures. Finally and quite 'accidentally, the mystery was solved. Investigators saw' a large crow fly to its nest with what resembled a small piece of colored silk. An investigation followed and the crow's nest was found to be lined with dozens of flags pilfered from the graves. HUMPHREY For four days in succession the Humphrey fire department was called out, thus being in action more than they often are in that many months.
On Sunday night in some unknown manner the large barn and granary on the farm occupied by Frank Maurer five miles northwest of town, burned to the ground. Hay, harness and grain were destroyed and one horse lost its life. The fire occurred shortly after midnight. About 7 o'clock Monday evening the explosion of a new gaoline stove at the Jerome Bender home brought the department in a hurry. A badly smoked Toom resulted.
On Tuesday night about 1 p'clck during the wind and rain storm lightning struck the Mike Fisher farm 2J miles southwest of town, and completely destroyed it with its contents' of hay, grain and harness. The horses were saved. Mr. Fisher was not at home at the time, as he was in town sitting up with his father who is seriously ill. Neighbors saw the fire and hurried to the scene to assist in saving the house from burning.
On July i the. fire truck and firemen took part in the big parade and emphasized their willingness to assist in time of need. Again Humphrey celebrated the Fourth of July in royal fashion, carrying through an elaborate program iitfkyetytt respect' jjigU vertised; with a 'beauUfuTparade 'of floats in the morning, representing a great outlay of Jabor and money, 15 free attractions, an appearance of the Columbus Drum and Bugle corps, the Humphrey band, and a gorgeous fireworks display in the evening. Dancing, swimming and many other forms of entertainment were enjoyed by the huge crowds, said to number by 8 o'clock in the evening. BRIDE' of of the KDQAR HOWARD EEL.

Dur ing the same period, inventions by men increased only 17 per cent. While it is true that inventions by women constituted only 2 per cent of the whole, the important point is that the women are gaining as inventors on their male competitors. Tliere is nothing to do, we suppose, but for the men to feel aggrieved about it.
THE NEW GOLD RUSH Beginning with the famous Klondike rush of 1896, when millions of dollars wortB of gold was mined, the metal was the making of Alaska. The peak year was 1916, -whtjft 348,000,000 worth of minerals was taken from the earth and streams. Just 10 years later, in 1926, sal- mon exports from Alaska were valued at $49,000,000 while mineral production had fallen to The salmon has become a "goldfish." Of course, 1926 was a big year for salmon. In 1927, a normal year, the alue of the salmon crop was $27,00,000. Even at that, however, the salmon is a more valuable asset to Alaska than her mines.

And took a little tar, With various ingredients Imported from afar; They hammered it and rolled it, And when they went away They said they had a good street To last for many a day.

To lay a railway cable They took it up once more, And then they put it back again Just where it was before. They took it up for conduits, To run the telephone, And then they put it back again As hard as any stone. They tore it up for wires To feed the "lectrie lights: And then they put it back agaiiiy And were within their rights.

'BUSTS' HIS WIFE, FINED $10, COSTS Glasses and Sugar Bowls Fly in Marital Fuss Alliance, July 6 (LP) Conflict ing testimony marked the trial of Pete Manewal, charged with assault and battery by his wife. The two joint owners of a restraurant have a divorce action pending, and the rumpus started when Mrs. Manewal came in to have her usual afternoon lunch. The plaintiff's testimony was to the effect that the defendant stole her pocketbook and hid it while she was eating and when she started search for it he objected to the extent that he 'busted her on the jaw." She was so enraged that she fired a few glasses and filled sugar bowls at him; Pete's testimony indicated that his wife ha' jUost no pocketbook but had bepfAurprised in the act of rifling tf, wash 'drawer; whereupon the deiidant tapped her on the jaw.
Police Officer Minnick gave the decisive testimony when he said he found thj woman bleeding at the mouth ajLd showing evidence of having betm battered. Manewal was fined $10- and costs. DISTRICT 64 Mr. and Mrs. L.

Tuesday: High, 91; low, 61. Wednesday: High, 88; low, 67. All heat records of the season were broken in very decisive manner when mercury ascended to the dizzy height of 98 in the government thermometer at 1 p. m. today.
This was three degrees higher than the previous high mark of the season, the 95 of last Sunday afternoon. Reference to weather records kept py Observer Harold Kramer show today the warmest in nearly a year. The last day on which a teniperature ef 98 or higher was recorded in Columbus was July 27 last year, when there was a top of 100. Today ig just three weeks short of a year from that date. That today marks the climax of the heat wave of the week is the belief and hope of many Colum bus citizens.
With today's 1 p. temperature seven degrees above yesterday's top, a break in the temperature is expected. This be lief accords with "today's weather forecast which is for cooler weath er Saturday. Possible local thun derstorms this afternoon or tonight are predicted in the forecast.

"If the banks of the river are protected the- channel will not be a source of worry and rich farming lands will be conserved," Heckman said on a recent visit to Nebraska City. Heckman has spent 'his life on the river. Before him was his boat-builder father, pilot and owner of a fleet of river steamers.
Heckman is convinced that if river conservation starts at the right navigation has great possibilities. "If the river improvers will only start at the upper end of the river as far north as navigation goes, and protect the banks that are in constant danger of cutting, the channel will take care of itself," he said. At some stages, he said, the Missouri river carried 14 per cent silt silt which represents the rich farming land of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. He explained Mississippi floods by saying that the silt settles to the bottom of the river, builds up the bottom of the channel and causes higher levees to be built. IKES BACK PLAN FOR FOREST PLAYGROUND Region Includes Woods In Canada, United States Chicago, July 6 (LP) Plans for an international wilderness playground, nearly 15,000 square miles in extent, are being drawn up by American and Canadian conservationists and lovers of outdoor life.
The region decided upon includes the present Superior national forest in northern Minnesota and the Quetico provincial forest in southern Ontario. A bill has been introduced in congress to further the plan of setting aside the Superior forest for recreational purposes. The Izaak Walton league of America, is backing up the project in America. The feature of the country is its vast waterway labyrinth, which provides for canoe travel in every direction. It is estimated that a canoeist could travel in the region for 10 summers without duplicating his routes.
The Superior forest, on the American side; isoneof the known national forests in "America and is visited annually by thousands of canoeists. It is within IS houis of Chicago by rail and within easy vacation reach of people. If you want something you don't have, or want to dispose of some thing you have use The Telegram Want Ads.
