'Hie article is only a small one in cony parison to the n>any pther articles that have been written about the feats' of the “Houdini of Rochester,” as he is called by his townsmen, has performed over the state of New Hampshire. Mr. Canney gave an exhibition in the Odd Fellows hall following the installation of officers and without aid or assistance, after being fastened to the Russian torture couch, tied with 60 feet of rope, handcuffed and schackled and in full view of the audience, escaped in ten minutes. Another feat was his escape from tjwo mail bags, locked. The Siberian chain was unable to hold shim. In a number of instances balky safes have been opened after experts had given up the job of getting them open. Recently following the*, death of L. A. Merrow, president of the Underhay Oil Co., of Boston it was discovered, that the combination to Mr. Merrow s private aafe was unknown to any of his family and a copy could not be found. Experts were called and attemped to open the safe, but without success. Mr. Canney was called and he succeeded in opening the safe. He claims to use no special methods in sate opening but he seems to have wonderful insight into the mysteries of keylesl locks. He doesn't use any tools, simply works the knob, listens to the inner workings and in a short sesame”—and the trick is done. Frank Canney is 39 years old. married and has five children. He works daily in the mill of the Old Colony Woolen Co., Rochester, New Hampshire. Mr. Canney is thinking of motoring here this fall and visit in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Bailey. n . 1,009 CHICKENS STOIJSN The Rock Run Poultry' farm two and a half miles eadt of Goshen on the Fish Lake road has lost over 1,000 chickens valued at one dollar each, within the past few weeks. The poultry farm is owned by N. C. Smoker. Mr Smoker states that 700 were taken at one time and 200 at another. There is no clue. The poultry farm has made a business of selling dressed chickens in the South Bend market. - For best results, advertise in the Journal. _____ Lake Lots for Sale SYRACUSE LAKE Pottowatomi Park Add more Park WAWASEE LAKE C<4tingham Beach Ogden Island Oak Noll Park Waveland Beach Grand View Perk ‘ Highland View Gardens Oak Knoll Park Second Pht Wawasee Several Desirable Town Properties Cottages fqr Sale or Rent GEa L.

•• < j ADVANTAGES f)F SPRAY RING URGED IN EXHIBIT It has become plain to a few Indiana farmers that the salvation of the home orchard is the “Spray Ring.” Thia was first demonstrated in Clinton county where there are now sixteen spray rings, These rings are somewhat similar to the threshing rings, in that one outfit, at a certain rate agreed upon, does the spraying for a certain number of farmers, forming a convenient circuit. The farmer, who heretofore has claimed that he had no time to tend his orchard properly, will find the spray ring just the thing if one can be formed in his neighborhood. J The best thing about it is that it results in plenty of good fruit for the family, and often a surplus that can be disposed of at a fair price. The “Spray Ring” exhibit in the Purdue Building at the Indiana State Fair, September 7 to 12 will be in charge of C. L. Burkholder, the Purdue horticulturalist who has worked it out and put it into operation. It is meant to acquaint visitors at the Fair with the value of the “Ring” idea, how to organize and operate a “Ring.” In connection with this exhibit, there will be a fine display of fruit from “Spray Ringst” —— o— —t Classified ads pay both —-the seller and buyer.
