Now, going in a launch across the Jake to- ward the mouth of the Morendt Ri er, they catch sight of a large hippo walking along the shore, Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit and Cunninghame leave the launch and row toward the animal, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Dawson, Attenboroughs and Myself sat in the launch, which had come to a halt, and watched the hunt eagerly, at the same time keeping a sharp lookout for the hippo so as to warn the hunters of its where- abouts, The row-boat had not proceeded far into the bay when, less than a hundred yards away in the papyrus reeds, there suddenly came into view the huge head of a hippopotamus. and very ugly. Calmly it watched! the approach of the invaders ot privacy, until it seemed to realize Suddenly that danger threatened {t. “CAMP ROOSEVELT” At this moment, it dashed away from the rapidly nearing rowers and made its way along the papyrus edge, while its wet back glistened in the strong sunlight. Roosevelt was standing up in the boat, with his fle held to his shoulder and ready for any emergency. There was a sharp’report from the row-boat, and one of Colonel Roose- velt’s bullets struck in a vital spot. The hippo turned immediately and charged, with its huge mouth wide open, straight at the frail row-boat. We could plainly see the ivory tusks and teeth within that deep cavern of a mouth, Obviously, it intended mis- chief, Another sharp report came to us across the water—and we could al- most see the bullet enter that colos- } mouth, As the bullet hit, the ence jaws closed with a vicious snap. It still held on its charge for the réw-boat, but Colonel Roosevelt fired a third time and dropped the hippo dead with a bullet through its brain. While this was g¢ing on, we could see Kermit taki photographs of the charge and kill with Kis camera. He appeared to be quite unperturbed. 1 Later on he said to me, when speaking about his experiences with this hippo: “I only saw the beast through my view-finder and* never once with my naked eye until it was dead!” Then began the difficult task of dragging the huge carcass out of the iweéds into clear water, so that the launch could take it in tow for the camp. However, after strenuous ef- forts by Cunninghame, who - stood waist-deep in the water, ourselves in the launch, and the native porters in the row-boat, we succeeded final- ly, after several hours’ hard work, in achieving our object. Thereupon, we headed across the lake for the camp, proudly towning the huge beast—it must have weighed fully three tons or more—behind us. Roosevelt and Kermit were de- lighted with their success on this hunt; and we were naturally over- joyed at being witnesses to such an interesting adventure. It certainly we were all tired after the long day We reached the pier below the At- jtenborough’s house at sunset. While the others returned to the camp, I helped’. the Atténboroygh brothers and Cunninghame tow the dead hippo vound. into: the little bay in front of the Roosevelt camp, 0 that i woyld be ready for dragging ashore eaily next morning for Heller and his skinners to start work on\the car- cass, “It’s been a bully day’s hunting,” called Roosevelt to me, gleefully, as he started off to walk round to his camp. And his face wreathed in smiles. CHAPTER X “Roosevelt Luck” on Lake Narvaska red during the stay at Saigai-Sai, and certainly the memories of ‘these ad- venturous days in that® camp. must ever remain pleasant ones for all of the members of the expedition. Heller will remember the huge leo- pard, weighing some pounds, rat-traps, ‘attached, . for orning,: ‘Colonel Roovevelt, Cunniny and the brothers Attenbo! th. went out in the Jaunch in aearch/ot-ia goad male neared the proposed hunting ground, Colonel Roosevelt decided to embark in the frail row-boat, accompanied only by two native porters to him, and try for a hippo unaided. The launch was to stand by, ready to come to his aiq and later to carry him back to camp. He had rowed across the lake for a couple of miles, when he suddenly found himself amongst a school of fifteen or more hippopotami. They immediately surrounded his boat and charged it repeatedly, bumping the bottom of it with their broad backs as they dived beneath it. The two natives were terrified and dropped their oars. There was ample cause for their terror, for it is no light thing to be attacked by even one single hippo when only in a frail row-boat—let alone some fifteen or! twenty. Colonel Roosevelt, however, was in his element and was undismayed. He calmly selected the biggest bull from | amongst the school, and killed it with| a beautiful shot through the head. He next picked out another excep- tionally fine specimen, which later turned out to be a big cow, and also killed it with his first shot. As he only wanted these two specimens for the completion of the groups for the museum, he thereafter contented himself with merely protecting him- self against the remainder of the hippo. When, finally, they had disappear- ed, he sat down in the boat and wait- ed patiently for his two victims to rise to the surface, It takes from two ‘to three hours“for’a dead hippo ON LAKE NARVASKA. to rise after being killed in deep wa- ter such as these had been. The occupants of the launch had ‘heard the firing, and now steamed up to Colonel Roosevelt's assistance. There was nothing to do but possess their souls in patience and wait for the two hippo to float to the surface. Cunninghame and the Attenboroughs heaped congratulations on Roosevelt, for he had indeed achieved a re- markable performance. Eventually, to the complete sur- prise of Colenel Roosevelt, who be- lieved that he had only killed two hippo, five dead bodies of the mon- sters came to the surface. It took some considerable time to get ropes round them and prepare them so that the launch could tow its bur- den of about fifteen tons dead weight back to the camp. Owing to the great weight of the animals, they were by no means an easy subject for towing, and the progress of the launch across the lake was, of necessity, labored and slow. To add to their discomfort, night presently cast its inky pall over the lake and it began to rain heavily. It was bitterly cold, and they had no coats or blankets with them. Neither had they had any food ince breakfast shortly after dawn, and they had brought’’ none. with them in the launch as they had not expected to be-so long away. from the camp. They reached the camp on the tehores of Saigai-Sai farm at, 3:30 velock in the morning—all. very cold, wet and hungry—but delighted with their luck. The success of that day's sport on the lake was ample compensation and no one was really sorry to have had such an experi- ence—least of all Theodore Roose- velt. On another occasion, they had shot two otters in the luke, At first they had thought them to be some huge water-snake. It was not until they approached quite close that they dis covered that they were otters. row) LEIN EQUALITY FOR AGRICULTURE BIG PROBLEM To Be Slogan For Federal Re- serve Bank of Ninth Dis- trict, Says New Agent DISCUSSES PROPOSAL Minneapolis, Sept. 20—A’ plan ality for agriculture with labor and indus- try” is a’ paramount need of ‘North- western agriculture, John R. Mitchell, new Federal Reserve Agent for the Ninth district, succeeding J. H, Rich, deceased, declared at a luncheon giv- en here by the Minneapolis Tribune for the retail business men of Minn- eapolis. He said in part: “The resulte;from this year's oper- ations in agriculture unquestionably justify great rejoicing, and new life d encouragement have been inject- ed into the producer. of the increased yields in small grains in this country is cli- matic, and the cause of increased prices is.due to a world shortage, the result of climatic conditions el: where. Is it.not worth while to give thought to what will happen to small grain prices in this country when the other grain producing countries have a normal crop? “Since the world market price for wheat controls our domestic price so long as a surplus is produced in this country, and in all probability & sur- plus will be produced for many years to come, I venture to ask the ques- tion: Is it not possible to provide some means by which the disposition of the surplus production will not establish the price for the entire crop? Our Standards “I think we all are in agreement on the fact that we cantot produce wheat in this country at a profit in competition with other wheat pro- ducing sections of the world under nqrmal conditions and maintain an American standard of living on the farm. “To my mind, a solution of one difficulty is of the most vital importance to agriculture today, and fundamentally the problem can’ be summed up to the one of obtaining an American price in America for our farm products. “I do not believe the farmer solve this problem unaided. he needs and should have the an at as- Kermit had -had good luck with the hippo, too; and he killed a sing-sing near the camp.

It is very doubtful, however, if any substantial changes in our present laws can be made; arti furthermore, it is also doubtful if such changes would be desirable. The facts are that we have become accustomed to a scale of living in this country that is recognized as the American stan- we have been enjoying it for period of years; we seem to American quite like it, and I believe people do not want any reduction in the that standard. In my opinion, it is here to stay, and certain adjust- ments must be made in agriculture to new economic conditions with which we are now confronted.” Electric Cookery. Is Better Cookery. D. B. C.
