FARMER FARTED
FROMMONEYIN
NEW FASHION
MINNEAPOLIS, Kan., Dec. 26.—
Gallilea Grub, head of the Aurora
Borealis Ice Company, is on his way
to the North Pole to fasten a scoop
on Dr. Cook’s new discovery. He took
with him $30,000 invested by Homer
Bogarth, a farmer here, in the Auro
ra Borealis Ice Company, according
to Hogarth, who asked for a warrant.
One blazing hot day last .Tuly Gal
lileo', dark, and excitable and wearing
an impressive black beard appeared
on Hogarth’s farm with a surveyor’s
instrument, pointing it towards the
sky. He seemed pre-occupied for
hours, as if calculating some abstruse
problem in mathematics. Hogarth was
watching him.
Finally, he exclaimed excitedly,
“This is the spot, the very spot.”
According to Hogarth, Gallileo
tried to buy his farm, offering him a
fabulous sum, but after a fourth visit,
revealed that his calculations proved
Hogarth’s arm to be the point where
an unending flow of ice would fall
were a scoop attached to the North
Pole, which Gallileo described as a
steel girder projecting from the cen-.
ter of the earth. Gallileo said he had
seen it, as he had been with Peary.
% He then told Hogarth his plan for
the Aurora Borealis Ice Company,
taking $30,000 from Hogarth as a
partnership fee, the farmer says, and
leaving Hogarth on the farm to take
care of the ice while he made a se
cond trip to the pole to attach the
scoop. His theory was that a scoop
attached to the pole would tear loose
billions of tons of ice as the earth
revolved, and would gradually tip,,
flinginng the contents on Hogarth’s
farm.
Cyrus Stronghead, whose farm ad
joins Hogarth’s, went to the bank
when he heard of his neighbor's loss
to see if his Liberty Bonds were still
there. They were.
So were his war savings stamps.

“TARZAN OF THE APES”
All the wild beasts of the African
jungle romp over the screen tonight
at the motion picture presentation of
Edgar Rice Burroughs' “Tarzan of the
Apes,” at the Empress Theatre. Its
chief claim to attention is the realis
tic magnificence of its setting—it is
said to have cost $300,000 to prepare
—although there is also a mystery
story of the English family in search
of their long lost son. Gordon Grif
fith, who played the boy, almost sug
gested at times that evolution had
raced backward several dozen centur
ies as he flung himself from branch
to branch. The illusion was height
ened by the lions, elephants, and the
many varieties of apes and monkeys
that wandered in upon the scene.
