BIG KODIAK BEAR FEROCIOUS ENENY Has Kesn Cunning to Trap‘ Hunter Who Wounds Him (By J.

This statement, borne out by a survey of tenement de- mands by the Herald, is corroborat- ed by real state dealers. Despite the bugaboo of “hard times” and the knowledge that there are many va- ant tenements in the city, an accu- rate survey shows that the major- ity of these vacancies are in homes cheaper type, which have been vacatea because of the tendency on the part of young married couples to build or buy their own homes. According to a survey last week in New Britain, of the 1,029 vacant tenements, only 122 were of the bet- ter type.

Jerdan, | who has arrived in this city afte an eventful journey in less than five days from Kansas City, Mis- | souri. o part of the trin was made by bus, trolley or train. | Mr. .ordan, with two fricnds, H. | K. Draper Jr., and Roger I. Drap- | jer, of Canton, Mass., all students of | Colby University, Maine, started on |a trip to the wheat fields in Kansas |in a 1918 “Lizzie” for the purpose of sccuring work there during har- vest time, The party left on June 26 and aprived on July 7 in Salina, Kans: out 100 miles west of Kansas City, in the heart of the wheat belt. The astounding fact is | that all through the trip the party experienced no difficulty with the “prehistoric” machine and had but |ene flat tire, | Upon reaching Salina, they lost no | time in inquiring for work and were told that there was plenty in town known as Hill After ma {ing due inquir to its location Ithey reached it after a 30 mile de- tour through prairic roads, which for the most part were flooded, the water reaching the hub caps of the \car. When the party finally reached its destination, three men inquired 'of them whether they were looking for work. This was great, the hoys | thought - and without hesitation ac cepted the job. They were hungry and wanted to get a bite in the lo- | cal restaurant—at least what was | called a restaurant, but their em- pioyers dissuaded them, proposing a meal at the farm. This was agree- | able to the trio and upon reaching | the farmhouse, they were given a meal. Reports Food Not Tasty “I don’t know what it w Jordan says, “but ccrtain wouldn't dare call it food h . It was terrible, ing his story, Mr. Jordan said that immediatel had eaten what could be caten, they were tak- | en to the fields, given a team of horses and told to reap the harvest of wheat. This was something pLew to them as none of the trio had ever dgiven a team and especlally a team hitched to a reape which necessi- tates an experienced hand to ma- | | i a | | aay, | open 2 and the machine around. Add to their worrics the fact that the thermometer that day was showing 108 degrees. During the afternoon the machine, with which the cutting is done, broke and it was necessary to remain idle for some time. This was a good excuse to leave the place and the trio went back to town. Here another party asked them if they would care to work, but they Jidn’t jump at the suggestion en- thusiastically. They finally decided to try it again and worked for four days together. On the following Sun- the trio left, and 0 broke up, the Draper Loys deciding to tay in the vicinity and Mr. Jordan going to Salina, but with one view in his mind—to get back® home. From Sali he started on the long trek to Kansas City. While on his * way two men ressed in the conventional garb of the farmer stopped to chat with Vim. One appeared like a farmer, but the other had the appearance of a city dweller. The trio then moved on towards Kansas City and on the way the fellow who appeared to be a farmer asked his compan- ion if he had a knife, as he wished to cut off a sore finger nail. The other promptly produced a small knife and gave it to his friend, wno after many attempts could not open the blade, whereupon the oth- er bet him a dollar that he could open it while Jie counted to The bet was on and consequently the farmer boy lost the money as the other fellow opened it with case. “He then came up to me,” Mr. Jordan went on. “and told me that there was a trick to it, showing me how it was done. He suggested that bet againet the farmer fellow that I could open it and in that way 1 coud make some money. He even said he would bet $50 that I could it, it I would also bet. The other fellow langhed and said tget e didn’t have $50, whereupon the ¥ chap pulled out a roll of money, bigs st. His idea was 1o make me bet with him and then have a try to open the knife. Al- though he showed he how it was done, I figure that there was somie thing clse to it; that the knife wouldn't open no matter how long 1 tried. T would conscquently lose the bet, my moncy going to the farmer lad. The other chap would also give up his lost ghare 1o the winner ond then after they left me, they would split up the procceds. “As we walked on, they tried to induce me to open the knife and went as far as asking me how imuch money I had, whereupon I turned te them and told them that our w lay in different dircctions and if they wouldn't keep on going 1 would try other methods of getting rid of them. Tney heeded my threat and without uttering another word i kept on a fast pace city. Why They Were Walking “Later on I was picked up by a motorist and related my experience to him, describing their attire and apeparance. My companion laughed and said he met them on the road carlier in the day, picked them up, and when they tried to pull off their ‘confidence’ game he promptly stopped the car and told them to get out.” When they reached Kansas City, the motorist told Mr. Jordan that he knew of a party leaving the next | day for St. Louis which might have | room to take him along. They spent the night together and the next day Mr. Jordan left tor St. Louis. He then traversed the long bridge over the Misvissippi to East St. Louis on foot and spent the night in a toyy- ists' camp just outside the city limits. The day was the Fourth of July and that afternoon a ecvere | clectrical storm broke, followed by | rainstorm that flooded the greater part of the city and suburbs. There were fires that day as a direct result of lightning, quite appropri- ate, even if devastating, for the holiday celebration. | From East St. Louis he got a | “lfe” from a man from California towards the |and got as far as Terre Haute, In- | diana, where he stopped in a hotel, | while his good samaritan stopped in |a more expensive hostelry. They made arrangements, however, to meet in the morning. From there Mr. Jordan sent a post card to his brother, A. Jordan of this city, tell- {ing him he would stop with him on | his way back home to Aubusn, Me. The card was received by his broth- fer just a few hours before his ar- | rival in New Britain, proving th | he made fast time even though making the trip on “hitched” rides, | From Cambridge, Ohio, the place 10 which he came with the man who brought him to Terre Haute, he made Wheeling, W. Va., in three | short rides. While in Wheeling he met & man from New York Cit; who was going home and they tray cled tozether as far as State Col- 1 just outside of Philadelphia, xpecting the man to take up his abode for the night in a hotel, Mr. Jordan foresaw losing a continuous |trip to New York. His companion however, who s a middle-aged man suggested that they both camp |in the open for the night as he [ would like to bring back memorics |of olden days when he uscd to make trips to the mountains. This was |more than Mr. Jordan expected and {they parked on top of a mountain and made their quarters in an old |harn for the night. The next morn- |ing found them on their way to [ New York City, where the partner- | ship dissolved. Smith Strong in Mid-West —_— e ———————men | neuver the horses to the Boston Post road just out side of the city and entered & tou: ists' camp. Here he met two yaun men in a coupe and the first thin; that he noticed was a Hoover boost! er plate. He approached the du and congratulated them. They aeem ed quite surprised, whereupon M Jordan explained that he just cam from the Middle West and all h! had seen there was “Smith fo President” plates on the autos of th| farmers. Thia diplomatic move O the part of the young traveler praci tically amured him a lift. The boy, told him they were going as tar Bridgeport, and no second {invif tion was awaited by Mr. Jordan. Hj stopped over night in the Park eit; and the next day moved on to Ne: Haven, getting a lift to that city] From there he got another ride t| the fork in the Hartford road ang from that point' made the rest o the long trip on foot, arriving 11 New Britain at 3 o'clock in the aft| ernoon on Monday. 1 Referring to the wheat crops, Mr Jordan said that according to the statements of the farmers, thk year's wheat harvest is the best ir| years and the Middle West ia af busy as a bee-hive during thes| months of blistering heat. The pa: is good compared with what the farm help in the east is accustomec| to getting, the ordinary help receiv.| ing $5 a day and meals, but th{ work i3 extremely hard and ° tire. some.

When harvest time comes, not only the farmers ge tc work, but even city folk go out tc help to harvest the grain, feeling if] their duty to help their neighbors, who are the real mainstay. Th cities are busy and thriving n seem to grow constantly, new buil ings and streets appearing practicals, ly overnight, Governor 8mith seeme to be the popular choice among the farmers for president, Mr, Jordan sayw, judging from the wide discuse sions carried on among the farmers, Wwho point out his merits and seem to be generally satisfied with the democratic party's choice. Mr. Jordan 's visiting his brother at 176 Lake street and explets to leave sometime next week for his home in Auburn, Maine, where he intends to resume his studies in Cols | by university next Fall.
