Ghost Ship Said to- : Roam the North Sea The North sea has a Flying Dutehman of, its own—a sort of ghost ship whose appearsnce is- superstitiously regarded by sailors as an omen of iil fortune, if not of death, to the beholder, It was first reported by a British war convoy that left a Norwegian port in November, 1917. Lieutenant Commander Fox of the Mary Rose counted twelve ships as they passed out of sight of land. Later an enemy raider attacked the convoy. When Commander Fox counted the convoy again there were thirteen. -

Other officers on the Mary Roge confirmed the number. No one had seen the -thirteenth ship join the convoy. One moment there was blue sea sparkling behind the twelfth ship; the next the stranger was speeding along with the rest—a somewhat rusty craft whose name had been so obliterated by long service at sea that it could not be made out.

When the raider's attack began the etrapger was still with the convoy. When the enemy had been driven off the stranger had vanished as mysteriously as she had appeared. The Mary Rose was lost in the skirmish. The North sea phantom has appeared, according to its growing legend, several times since then, each time as the precursor of ill fortune to the beholder. She is said to be a small warship or again a rusty freighter, a battered schooner or a smell seaworn liner. But however she is reported, North sea sailormen believe she bodes no good. :

Ink Blot Spelt Ruin for Engineering Firm

"A big British engineering firm put in a bid for building a great bridge for a foreign government. The head of the business spent six months in getting out plans. His bid was accepted, the material bought in great quantities, men engaged,—and machinery built. A time limit was set for the corumencement and finish of the bridge, and one day the chief was sitting at tiis desk perfecting his plans and making suve of the smallest details, when he accidentally upset an inkpot and drowned his most important Q{ipers in a black sea. In a fever of anxiety he tried to reconstruct his plans from stray notes. It was impossible, and he then cabled the foreign government begging for more timme, This was refused and the contract repudiated. The loss drove the firm into bankruptey. : The Ninth Scout Law A Cornish correspondent sends me the following amusing experience whilst he was running a troop of boy scouts in India: ‘ “lI was testing a small Eurasian boy, twelve years old, for the “I'enderfoot’ badge and said: ' - “'What is the ninth scout law? | *‘Sir, a scout is thriftee.’ ““What does thrifty mean? “‘I know what it medns, sir’ - ““Well, then, what does it mean? “aWell, sir (hesitatig), it means that it is veree sillee to spend anee monee on a girl.’”

This is one way of looking at lit, but I should like to hear the views of the girl. Not a girl guide, however. They are too independent.—London Post.

Catchy Line

Jones is an angler who use® only the higher and more expensive parapkernalia of his art. One day he was standing on the shore of a lake casting his flies without success, when along came a native with a.good string of «{trout. After watching Jones' vain efforts for a few minutes the newcomer ventured: ‘“Why don’t you try worms?”’

“Worme!” said Jones disgustedly. “My good fellow, you and I don't use the same language.” ’ : “Mebbe not, mister,” -gaid the other quietly, as he held up bis catch, “but I reckon the fish understand me better when I drop 'em a line.”—Vancouver Province.

Prehistoric Medicine

Tubes of soft soapstone used by a prehistoric Indian shaman, or medicine man, to heal the sick have been unearthed near San Diego, Calif., says Science. First blowing clouds of smoke through these tubes over .the body of a patient, thé medicine man pretended be could see Into the body. The patient was told he had been bewitched by an enemy who had injected into his body a magical substance which changed into a toad, smake, rock or other object. Having located the object, the shaman pretended to pluck it out, producing as evidence, by sleight-of-hand, the offending substance,

Excusable Error

. The story described its heroine as a dumpling sort of woman., The teacher paused and asked for a description of a woman of that kind.

“She would be rather tall and thin,” gsuggested a pupil. “No,” the teacher explained, “the lady would be short and plump—like a dumpling.” “Oh, yes,” sald the youngster. “I was thinking of a noodle.”

RECORD OF FOSTER SALES | Interesting Data FurniShed the Press Concerning the One Hundred and : Three Sales Held The following data relative to the Foster Community Sale appeared in the Cromwell Adance and Millersburg Grit: i : +lt can't be done? Others have trikd it and failed. We will not assist in ﬁw venture! These and similar expréssions were the greetings received }by Mr. George Foster seven years az{n, when he approached a rew of Ligonier’s business men and asked for their financial assistance in puttipg on a series of community saleés. iOthers had tried and failed! That meant nothing to Mr. Foster. He had not failed and he was not fearful of tailure. He started the ball rollihg with . the aid of some of the more optimistic merchants and last week closed the season after a successful management of 103 sales in that community. . - '

Did Foster’s sales help the busine}:.s‘f men of Ligonier and ihe farmers of this section? We think so. In fart we helieve it was one of the greatest ‘farm relief” measures ever presented to our rural friends, and that the fact that $616.056.37 worth of live stock implements household goods etc., was disposed of and the money for same all changed hands in Ligonier every merchant must have received some portion of it.

Following is a brief synopsis pt what happened: : i . Mr. Foster held 103 successful community sales in Ligonier. f | . He sold 15,999 head of hogs, an, ayerage of 155 to the sale. e He sold 4,203 sheep average of 41 to a sale; . o He sold 4,532 head of cattle or an average of 44 to a sale; 0 i He sold 412 head of horses an average of 4 to a sale. e Household goods an dmiscelluneql_ﬁs articles brought in $33,681.00, an average of $327. : The average income from each sale Li‘or goods sold was §5,981.13 a total pf $616,055.39. - : ' This is not high finance but it !15 big business. P , 1. Foster informs the Grit that H. E. Longcor and Son the auctioueets H. E. Hoak and Leland Calbeck deserve great credit for their untirix&g efforts in helping to make these sal:s a 4 success. He states that he ryn about 40 per cent notes in the salds, and that through the careful managsment of Mr. Calbeck he has not lokt one penny on these notes. Mr. Foster gives mostof the credit o the farmeygs of the community for the success of the sales, and wishes to thank each cf them for their liberal patronage and also to thank the business men who contributed to the sales success, Mr. Foster is deserving of great credit for his untiring efforts in the face of great difficulties in stagipg these 103 events and his worth to the community and city should not be underestimated. It was a big man’s joh—and George is pretty well built—physically and mentally. | No more sales will be held tHis spring, as it is time for planting - corn, and the farmers have now sttled down to their work. We are ot informed whether the sales will be pesumed in the fall but the busindss men of Ligonier should not allow this drawing card to pass out.

Smith On Dry Plank.

A harmony platform with a prohibition enforcement -plank is being planned by democratic leaders for adoption at the Houston convention. Authorities professing to speak for Gov. Alfred E. Smith brought forward the suggestion unofficially and it has been taken up by many of the dry leaders of the party at Washington. Smith’s friends say his prohibition stand has been much misunderstood; that he advocates nothing to infringe upon the eighteenth amendment and that he has never preached nullification. - ' ; 7 .

Sheriff Victim of Apparent Joke.

The. sheriff of Steuben county returned to _his office convinced that a Toledo motorist was 'shtfering from hallueinations or a heavy hangover of “seeing things.” ¥ : The sheriff made a trip over the highways in quest of a human head. but he didn’t find any. It seems the Toledo motorist had called the sheriff’s office by phone/and reported that he saw a human head along the side of the road. The sheriff’s quest was all in vain at least he failed to locate the headless horseman. S i ‘Pay your Banner subscriptions.
