Root Beer Latest Oasis Has 1.77 Per Cent Alcohol (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, July 28. Root beer made at home may not always be as Innocent as Its name. Professor Charles H. La Wall, dean of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, cautions the public that the root beer has an alcoholic content of 1.77 precent. "It will take gallons to produce the famllar diaziness." he said, "but it may provide some exhilaration. "I was surprised recently, to notice a friend coughing a little after drinking several glasses of home-made root beer, I became interested and began an analysis of some of the beverage. The result was surprising. I found that the alcohillc content was much greater than I had supposed. "I discovered that after standing five days the beverage contained .63 nercent. of alcohol; after ten days

the percentage Jumped to 1.36 and a day or so later had climbed to 1.77. The alcohol came from a natural fermentation." Mrs. Dunn Pleads Guilty To Manslaughter Charge PITTSFIELD, Mass., July 23.

ABANDONED SCHOOL -PROPERTIES SOLD

Trapper's Body Perfectly Preserved For 12 Months

"ill 41

(By Associated Press) SASKATOON, Sask., July 28. Emanuel Peterson, a Hudson Bay trapper, fell asleep in his lonely cabin In the northern wilderness near Fond du Lac twelve months ago. A sheet of paper tacked on the door bears this epitaph written In English, French, Cree and Chippewan: "This is the grave of Emanuel Peterson. Let no man disturb it." Constable M. Chappins of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police traveled 2,000 miles through cold and storm at 30 degrees below zero to write that epitaph. News that a man lay dead in a cabin somewhere north of Lake Athabasca trickled down to Edmonton last February. There was suspicion that he might have been murdered. Chappins was assigned to investigate. He was

gone three months.

He found Peterson's body perfectly

preserved in the cold air. There were

no signs of violence. The last entry

in Peterson's diary made March 29,

1918 read:

"I am very sick. It would be hell

if I should die out here among the

snowdrifts all alone."

Hurdy Gurdy Grinder

Demoralized Business

PHILADELPHIA, July 28. Magis

trate Howard S. Stillwagon gave "Tony" a hurdy-gurdy grinder, ten

cents to stop playing "The Star Spangled Banner" at Ardmore, so that

"people could get their work done."

Tony had only five "records," Including the National anthem. The re

sult was that when he hit the business section of Ardmore everybody had to

lay off work and stand up every few

minutes. Finally the magistrate took a hand

"People around here want to get some work done," he called to Tony. "The next time you come around here

play 'The Star Spangled Banner Just once and let it go at that. If you don't I'll put you in jail for life or something. Here, take this dime and beat It."

Stir this syrup into the poisoned bran or meal to make wet mash. This poisoned bran mash Is scattered In Infested grain and grass fields, orchards and gardens. ; Trap Crop Advocated. The most effective and least expensiye way to treat grain, bay or alfalfa

fields that are badly infested, would be to spray a strip of the crop about 20

feet wide along one or all sides of the field with a mixture composed of 1 pound of arsenate of lead to about 30 gallons of water. The grasshoppers can be driven from all parts of the field into this strip, where they will feed upon the poisoned plants. This strip can be Wt when cutting the crop and later plowed under. Arsenide in a diluted form as used In this way will not injure hogs or cattle that might get into and eat this sprayed crop.

SUBMITS PLAN TO AID SMALL ROADS

Southwest Wheat Harvest Over; Sanest In History (By Associated Press) KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 28. The

southwest's harvest, characterized as the "sanest" In history. Is over. High

er wages were paid than ever before, and there was practically no radical agitation. An army numbering at times 125,000 men advanced with the harvest from southern Oklahoma through Kansas and into Nebraska, earning an average of sixty cents an hour. Federal officials say about one hundred alleged agitators were arrested on vagrancy charges, but so far there has not been a single complaint of sabotage. College students and returned soldiers predominated among the harvesters. The response was so large that it was unnecessary for side-line harvesters boy scouts and high school students to go into the fields, although many business men in small Kansas towns Joined "twilight" harvest gangs. There were some instances of wages reaching $15 a day, due -to peculiar local condition. At the critical period of the harvest, farmers here and there became panicky and bid wages up to 80 cents an hour.

headquarters of the movements arc said to be in Chicago. Winnipeg October wheat is now 14 cents beyond the American fixed price, closing at $2.40 yesterday. Many view with alarm the apparent tendency to keep Canadian wheat prices above the American fixed price. Bidding on the Winnipeg exchange which is behind the movement, is engineered from Chicago and Minneapolis. The effect of a higher price in Canada than in the United States, would give the United States the European markket, and during the next four months would deprive Canada of the full benefit of the St. Lawrence river route. Some cabinet ministers, while favoring a minimum price in Canada, believe that there should be a director appointed to supervise the marketing apd to prevent profiteering or any policy that would retard the marketing of the crop.

Strawberries For Sundaes

Put Up Price Of Fruit (By Asaool&ted Tress) PHILADELPHIA, July 28 Prohibition indirectly produced extraordinary condition in the strawberry market this year. Prices went higher than ever before because a Chicago packing house opened what was to be the largest fruit preserving plant in the world in the heart of the strawberry district of Delaware and the Eastern shoro of Maryland and bought the product of great berry producing fields virtually without regard to cost to meet the tremendous demand for ice cream and soft drinks produced by the "dry" period. Strawberries that normally sold for from five to ten cents a quart were snapped up at from thirty to thirtyseven cents. The price of the consumer never went below thirty cents this season. Strawberry syrup for flavoring soda water formerly sold a? elxty-flve cents a gallon is now quoted 13 RA rpntA n cnllnn

Farmers are elated. Many of them made a naverage of $1,000 an acre on their strawberry crop and they are loking forward to big profits next year. The packers, when the strawberry season was over, sent their employees to other work and closed the factory.
