A full grown man eating shark was sighted in about ten feet of water, just off Saunders beach here last night by Barr Lee Korn, of Sioux City, who was here to do a In tie fishing. Mr. Korn said the coiirk came to the surface of the water and spoke to him like a dog. He replied sharply, whereupon the shark jumped clear out of the water and theratened him savagely. Mr. Korn, having read of the shark scare along the Atlantic coast, became alarmed and withdrew to the club house where he related his amazing story before a large assemblage of bathers. The announcement created great excitement.' Crystal Lake (Second Bulletin) There is some doubt about the accu racy of the shark' story related here by Barr Lee Korn, of Sioux City. It is reported that just before seeing the shark, Mr. Korn had been to Jack son and had merely stopped here on his way home. Crystal Lake (Third Bulletin.) It is now definitely established that there is no truth in the shark story as related by Barr Lee Korn, of Sioux City. It is now a matter of Eositive record that Korn had just een to Jackson and that he was in toxicated when he made his discov ery. But anyway, for a moment, Crystal lake was in style.

Sioux City ans will have to transport their own beer and whisky 'from Jefferson, S. D., and Jackson, Neb., if the su preme court upholds the decision made by Judge Frey, of Boone, in the Franklin county district court Tuesday. The Boone judge held that liquor shipped into the state at once becomes subject to the state laws. Woodbury County Antisaloon league officials asserted yesterday that they were greatly interested in the decision and that if it is affirmed in the higher court transportation companies engaged in hauling liquor to Sioux City from Nebraska and South Dakota "wet" towns will be forced out of business. The ruling means that if a pdrson wants liquor for his own consumption he will have to go to Jefferson or Jack son and get it- himself." John F. Joseph, attorney for the league asserted. "He cannot send a mail order to one of the wholesale houses in Nebraska or South Dakota and get the liquor delivered to his home as is now done." Itisimprob able that the case will be reviewed by the supreme court for several months at least and for the time be ing Sioux Cityans can have their liquor brought to their door by ex- Rress wagons, owners ot wholesale ouses suDDlvinc: the Sioux City trade assert thai the liquor interests will make a hard -light to have Judge , , -.1. ?.

House at Jackson and'Jefferson are not direct ly-interested in the case and will not finance the' figHt of the "weu" at Hampton, who will appeal the case. Judtre Frey's decision was handed down in a case against the Theodore Hamm Brewing company, ol btFaul, which maintains a branch house at Elk Point, S. D. The Adams Ex press company also was a defendant. The "drys" contend in the suit that the brewing company and the ex- firess concern were maintaining a iquor nuisance at Larimer, la., claiming that they received and gave out liquor consigned to private parties. The defense of the defend ants, which will be fought out in the supreme court, is that the liquor was in interstate traffic and that the Iowa courts have no .jurisdiction. , Sioux City Journal, 17: .Word was received in Sioux City lasfnight of the death of Mrs. Winfield S. White", 1523 Jackson street. She died in a hospital in New York City Saturday night. The body will be brought to Sioux City Wednesday for burial. Mrs. White had been in New York City for the last two weeks. She underwent an operation while in the hospital. She had suf fered from stomach trouble for sev eral months- Her husband, Winfield 3. White, and son, Dr. March White, and Mrs. March White were in JNew York. Mr. and Mr. White had lived in Sioux City for twenty-five years. They were married in LeMars, la. Mrs. White was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Surviv ing her, besides her husband and Drr March White, is Howard White, another son, of Sioux City Though scores of bathers were with in a short distance of him, Fred Fos ter, a deaf mute, 2 years old, w.is drowned in five feet of water in Crystal lake yesterday after noon at 8:30 o'clock. Two compan ions, also mutes, were at his side. They found difficulty in giving the alarm, and Foster was submerged for ten minutes. When the body was drawn from the water the mouth and nose were filled with moss and weeds. Assistance was summoned from -Sioux City. One pulmotor, property of the Sioux City Service cumpany, and another, property of the fire department, vere hurried to the lake. The in struments drew particles of moss and,weeds from the upper part of Foster's lungs. The',lungs respond ed feebly to th'e pulmotor, but did not start heart action, although ef forts were continued longer than an hour. Sheriff George Cain, of Dakota, City,, who. happened to-be at Crystal lake, took charge of the body pending thearrival of W. E. Al len,- ot nomer, coroner ot uaKota county. The body -Was removed to a cottage a short distance . from the bathing, beach. ' Fosterdived at 521 Jennings street. He was a tailor, and was employed by the ' Boyer Hollenbeck company, Fourth and Nebraska streets. He had lived in Sioux City for several. years.- A brother, .Louis Eoster,.and.his.moth er live at Rosedale, Mo., and a sister. Mrs. J. M. Kennedy, "lives in Lex ington, Ky. The death of Foster was the only accident reported from the Sioux City water resorts yester day, Thousands desented the city during'theday in favor, of bathing beaches and parks. v of the service, was arrested by the potrolman for speeding in his auto mobile. At the time the young man was hurrying to the postofiice to mail a letter to his commanding offi cer at Denver, notifying him that he was about to join his troop. He was driving at high speed in order to be at the postofiice before the mails. In court Saturday morning McPher son paid a fine of $10 under protest. Before leaving in his automobile for Denver Sunday, McPherson filed with his commanding officer an ac count of his arrest. , Civil officers, according to army regula tions, have no authority to arrest a soldier of the United States army on his way to mail a letter to an officer. McPherson will attempt to recover the amount of the fine which went to the school district and a damage action is threatened against the pa trolman by the young man's parents. .. . .Miss Ella Wahlburg, who came out from New York to break or es tablish swimming records at Crystal lake, essayed the feat late yesterday afternoon. She was to Bwim from the Crystal Lake hotel to Crystal beach. The swim was to be made in either four minutes, or four hours, the reasonable record for the dist ance escaping mind at the moment. It is considered quite a Bwim, how ever long it may take. Miss Wahl- urg was going good, until in the mmaie oi tne mxe an ,attacK oi cramps sneaked up on her, and she had to give it up for the day. She said it was cramps, not a shark. In cidentally, before taking the plunge from the boat dock starting point, she discoursed to some extent on sensible bathing suits. The fair bathers at the lake, wear too many clothes, she advised. "There's no use for woman to burden herself down because man isn't used to bare knee caps, except on the stage," she said. "Women never can learn to get the best advantage out of the greatest exercise in the world until they quit trying to drag half a ton of clothes around in the water with them. There's a lot of this equality of the sex bunk. Convention is custom or something like that, and pretty soon all the women will be wearing no more clothes at bathing beaches than men are used to wear ing. People will get used to it and think nothing of it. Why in France " Probably so! The picture shows Miss Wahlburg's idea of a sensible bathing suit for fair swimmers, whether they be fair or nonfair. She persists that those women swimmers from Sioux City who wear the Annette Kellerman uniforms only in dangerous and se cluded spots at the lake will soon be braving the crowds at the beaches. In the meantime, the streetcar com panies are provincial enough to be making plans for added service to the resort. gations, the crop gets the benefit from all the water thus put upon the land at the point of turnout, ac cording to the Mitchell Experiment Station. Two large losses of irrigation water must be taken into considera tion run-off and the underground seepage. The run-off is always ap parent and may be reduced to a minium by the careful irrigator by always catching tho run-off from one ditch to another, the only waste be ing in the end runs and on tho last land. The run-off loss is well taken care of by most farmers, but the seepage loss has not been called to the attention of the irrigator ns forcibly as it should be, for the reason that it is a condition that is not so easily detected. Profitable to Increase Production Farmers whose crops are very far below tho average are seldom pros perous, uccording to a farm manage ment survey of 205 farms in eastern Nebraska conducted by the College of Agriculture. Forty-three farm ers whn crops were 80 per cent poore. ilnn their neighbors made less tha i ne-fifth as much money after paying farm expenses and in terest on investment as forty-four farmers whose crops averaged 29 per cent above their neighbors. The farms with intermediate or average crop yields made average profits. While it is possible to invest so much labor and capital in Securing large crop yields that the increased yield will not pay the cost, the sur vey indicates that the Nebraska farmer is much more likely to put too little work upon his land than too much. ' What the Farm Contributes The farm contributes more to the living of the man who owns his farm than to the tenant, according to a survey made by the College of Ag riculture in eastern Nebraska. An average of the figures shows that the tenant gets $418 from the farm while tho owner who operates his farm gets $525. The increase to the owner comes in the increased value of the house and the increased supply of fruit, wood, and honey. In western Nebraska the relation ship is the same, but the average farm contributes somewhat less. ' Gapeworns Gapeworms are commonly fnund in poultry raised on low ground. They may be seen attached to the walls of the windpipe. For treat ment restrict the birds to well-drained quarters and plow the infested areas. Individual treatment neces sitates the removal of the worms. By a feather moistened with turpen tine swab out the windpipe. RtfAL E8TATE TRAN8FER8. J. 8. Hncon, Co.

Dakota City, Nebr. -N"f --- f'-'T ' aKH A Definition of Good LI re ad Bread should have a nutty and sweet odor. There should be no sour taste or smpll. Bread should be of fine, even tex ture With no large holes in it. When pressed with the finger, it should dent easily, but the dent should Bnrincr back to the level surface. If the dent stays in the bread, it is not efficiently baked. If the bread is so hard you cannot press it easily, too much flour has been used in rnixing. Thccrust should be uniform in thickness on all sides of the loaf. It should be-rather thin and should not behard. Tho'bread should be baked in such pans that it will The easily dnd be of uniform height in all parts. These are the points kept in mind by home economic worker of the College of Agriculture in scoring breads at county fairs and other contests.
