Miami.

Feb. 13. (AP). Pan American Airways. announced here early this afternoon that R.

I. Dunten and Lt. Steven Callaway had been rescued by an automobile ferry sixty miles northeast of Key West from the amphibian plane in which they were forced down yesterday. Neither had been harmed although they had drifted all night in the disabled craft. Word of the rescue came after Col.

Chas. A. Lindbergh had hopped off to Join the search for the plane and after naval seaplanes at Pensacola and coast guard boats had begun preparations to look for the amphibian. The craft was towed by the ferry to Noname Key. where its occupants were landed about noon, approximately a quarter of an hour after Col.

Lindbergh had taken off. After they had reached the pinnacle of their flight, Johnson and Stevens were flying in a temperature of 76 degrees below zero. They looked below and saw what appeared to be billows of ice crystals, hung in midair and resembling the formations of a cave. The aviators described the spectacle as a dazzling sight, with the light rays broken by the fragile crystals into all th colors of the spectrum. Tn order to verify this seeming mirage of the Heavens they dipped again and again into the cry.Xal.

and Lieut. Johnson, to make more certain, removed a glove and stuck his bare hand from the cockpit. It was pierced as though by a thousand needles. Not satisfied! Captain Stevens exposed part of his face, and today he bore a huge ice blister on one side as a souvenir. Capt.

Stevens made several pictures on the flight but the results are in doubt. Exhaust from the engine fouled the lens several times, and a thick blanket of snow which covered the territory over, which they flew made his photographs of little value in studying the earth from the great height. The aviators plan another flight within a short time, when they expect to establish a record. OFF TO A GOOD START. (THE REGISTER Cooking School opened its doors on the dot at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon with nearly a thousand pupils already in their seats and with the "teacher right there with a smile and a spoon and all the other attributes and utensils necessary to carry the class through the whole "curriculum.

Naturally most of the ladies In attendance this first day are residents of lola. but a call for a show of hands on the part of those not residing within the city limits resulted In the disclosure that a very considerable number were present from other towns and from the country. This is as the Register and the merchants co-operating with it very much desire that it should be. They want it distinctly understood that the Cooking School is much more than an lola institution; it Is designed and promoted for the beneft of every woman within reach of lola, and those who go to the trouble to come from a considerable distance are specially welcome. While the chief function of Cooking School naturally is to give pointers in cooking, the ladies who attend all its sessions will soon discover that it is a great deal more than that.

They will find it is a course of instruction in home management, in dietetics, in marketing, in labor saving, in preparing food for chldren and for the sick, in receiving and entertaining guests, in managing a husband, in keeping ones temper, in placating the hired girl. and in looking sweet and wholesome ahd happy all the time you are doing all these things! The Register is delighted that its Third Annual Cooking School is starting off so well. It sincerely wishes that evety woman in Allen county might attend at least one of its sessions the sessions begin at 2 oclock each day and close at 4 and it trusts and believes that every one who does attend will feel that she has been abundantly Dayton, Ohio.

(AP) Two army fliers in and old army plane reached an unofficial altitude of 39.000 feet from Wright Field yesterday, and brought down with them an account of a condition above the clouds which meteorologists long have suspected but never have been able to prove. The fliers. Lieut. Johnson and Captain A. W.

Stevens, pilot and photographer, were lorced down by deplenished fuel at Norton Field. Columbus, Ohio. The Instruments attached to the plane, used in many test and altitude flights, indicated that they had reached an altitude outreaching the record of 33.420.5 feet held by Lieut. C. C.

Champion, or the United States navy. No record was claimed because rules of the federation aeronautiqie Internationale prescribed that the plane land at the field from which it left the earth. The two pilots blamed their failure to establish a record for a two-mar. plane on another phenomenon of the air: excessive visibility. "The ordinary horizon line when flying is between seven and eight thousand feet, they explained.

"After we got above the clouds of icc we couldnt see the ground and the horizon line above must have been at least 50.000 feet and we didnt know where we were.

To achieve the new rating for his school Mr. LeValley was forced to undertake several projects which resulted in improved courses of study, better library facilities, repairs and additions in the various rooms, a properly equipped playground, the organization of a lar ent -Teacher association in St. Paul and a number of other items of modernization. To celebrate the distinction their school has just received, the residents of St. Paul have prepared a community program which will be given February 20.

I I FARMERS ENTHUSED Tippin Expresses Appreciation of County Agent It was an interesting and a most encouraging report of the achievements of Allen county in the various better farming contests in which it has engaged that was presented by Field Agent Roy Gwin at the noonday luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce at the Portland Hotel today. For the past five years this work has been going on and the progress that has been made has attracted attention all over Kansas. It has come to the point now that whenever there is a Statewide contest along any line of farming or stock raising other contestants all over Kansas look upon Alen county as the competitor they have most cause to fear. This enviable reputation has been achieved, Mr.

Gwin said, by organization, co-operation and hard work. In the late lime and legume contest. fbr example, Mr. Gwin raid it would have been impossible to win had it not been for all three of these factors. In the first place there was the organization which extended to every school district in the county.

Then there was the cooperation between business men, farmers and the Farm Bureau which had been close and effective. And then there was the hard work most of which was his own, although he was too modest to say so. Mr. Gwin also gave much credit to the press of the county which had been generous In the use of space to carry the publicity which was absolutely necessary to put over anv extensive program. Mr.

Gwin expressed the opinion that a countv like Allen can just about be anything it wishes to become in an agricultural and dairying way. It is only a question of a definite program, well planned and diligently worked out. Such a program with respect to dairying has fust been inaugurated in the dairy iirrrovement contest which is now well under way and In which it is hoped a large proportion of the school districts will participate. Tn answer to questions Mr. Gwin expressed the opinion that whatever mar have prevailed, and dd prevail, among some of the farmers of the county as to the vp hi of lme pnd legumes has about disspneared.

The demonstrations have be-n so conclusive that nobodv can longer doubt the fact that with the use cf limes and legumes production can be so much increased as to make the extra cost a rich investment. As an evidence of the sentiment upon this subject he cited the fact that there are now in the county half a dozen rock crushers engaged wholly in responding to calls of farmers for crushed rock fee fertilizing purposes. Mr. Tippin, President of the Farm Bureau, was present at the luncheon, and preceding Mr. Gwins address made a short talk in which he expressed the belief that in Mr.

Gwin Allen county had one of the very best farm leaders in the State. He expressed his deep appreciation also of the cordial co-operation the Farm Bureau had always had from the Chamber of Commerce of lola and from the press of the county. Caldwell Is Not Guilty Of Persistent Violation After deliberating for 30 minuter the iury in the case of tha State v.

The third session will be held tomorrow afternoon and the final one Friday. Mrs. Thum occupied her fifteen minute lecture period this afternoon In a most interesting discussion of "people we meet." In traveling all over the United States, as she has the past four years in her present work. Mrs. Thum has met so many different people in so many different places that she has had an excellent opportunity to observe the mannerisms and habits which have become characteristic of certain sections.

She spoke about the curious way In which the people of Pennsylvania rather seem to sing their sentences Instead of speak them aftd how so often they employ Inverted sentence structure, inherited from their Dutch ancestors, such as: It lust poured the rain down!" She told how the people of southern Ohio use the phrase "any more In such a peculiar way. They will say, for instance. Dont people build the prettiest houses any more?" or They have the most accidents any more. Mrs. Thum found the people of West Virginia using such colloquialisms as weuns" and you urn although thev do not claim to southern.

In Baltimore she found the ushers In theaters and floorwalkers In department stores inevitably referred to as "the gentleman with the white carnation." She spoke of the rambling white farmhouses of New England with their green shutters and their outbuildings all attached to the main house: of how the housewives there actually do serve Boston baked beans and brown bread practically every Saturday night, and fresh salmon, new potatoes and green peas every Fourth of July. She told quite a number of similar things, all of which appeared to interest her audience greatly. The only peculiarity of speech which she said she had had time definitely to Identify as belonging to Kansas was the use of the word keen to express approval of almost anything under any circumstances. She said also that she had fuund Kansas to be one of the most friendly and hospitable states for stranger to be in she had ever encountered. At the end of her talk she turned without delay to the demonstrations of the afternoon which were (Continued on Page 8.

The presidents approval was given In spite of the measures clause requiring that all the vessels be laid down by July 1, 1931, which he had opposed.

ALLEN COUNTYS FARM RECORD IS IMPORTANT ONE Prizes Won Last Week Forecast By Other Successes The announcement last week at Manhattan, that Allen county was winner of the state lime and legume contest, was very gratifying to the leaders in agricultural progress in the county, although not entirely unexpected, comments among farm leaders revealed today. People over the whole state have begun to notice that in any project of agricultural improvement, Allen county may always be found near the head of the procession, according to remarks discovered in various newspapers keeping abreast of things agricultural. In 1922-23, the agricultural exhibit of Allen county was a winner at the Kansas State Fairs.

In the "Kansas Better Farming Contest. In which a general dairy and livestock improvement program was considered, and which was conducted In 1924-26, with 40 counties competing. Allen county placed second. When the 4-II club record of Kansas for the past few years is considered. Allen county is often mentioned.

In 1525 and 2927 she furnished the state dairy club champions. In 1926 and 1928 her dairy judging teams were state champions and made stiff hid for national honors. In other respects her club work was outstanding. When the results of the alfalfa contest were announced Jn J927. Allen county was at the head of the itt.

In the 1P27 rtate corn content. bv reason of her number of entries, the exceptional corn show rmd the co-operation of Everyone connected, Allen was given the prize as countv com champion. With this record as a background other counties naturally respected Allen county as a contender in the State lime and legume contest which just closed. The winning of these contests is naturally a fine advertisement of the county and a testimonial of the effective improvement going on here, farm bureau officers believe. But the chief value is the effect on the individual farmer who puts into effect the practices advocated.

Every limed acre of legumes, every better sire, every winning team or individual. is just another asset to the county. It is not surprising that Allen county has won so many honors, County Agent Gwin pointed out. Three things have been responsible, namely: organization, co-operation, and work. Only because of the definite program outlined by the farm bureau could these things be carried out.

The co-operation of farm leaders, civic organizations, schools, newspapers, business institutions and extension workers has contributed to the success of these Finally, hard work, close attention to details, and a host of contributing activities, were necessary to put the county over the top. Such a program can win any contest. Mr. Gwin said today. Such cooperation will insure the success of any enterprise.

The future of Allen county is assured with such team work. In the words of Mr. Gwin: "Let the good work go on! lola Woman Thinks of Lincoln as Uncle Abe Mrs. G. F.

(AP) The Japanese steamer Nanko Maru hovered off the rock bound Aleutian Islands fighting a heavy storm today as it awaited an opportunity to rescue 25 men aboard the doomed Japanese freighter Melyo Maru. Not far away a third Japanese vessel, the Alloway, with one crazed member of her crew was being driven toward destruction on the rocks. The Nanko Maru reached the Meiya Maru late yesterday, several hoursv after the latter had broadcast weak signals saying she was on the rocks of Ugamak Island and was pounding to pieces. Due to the storm the rescue vessel was unable to help her but stood by. waiting i for the storm to die down.

I Thirty three members of the crew cf the Alloway were picked up In lifeboats by the steamer Montauk yesterday after an unsuccessful five day fight against the storm. The Montauk had been trying to tow the Alloway to Dutch Harbor. When the tow line broke and the disabled vessel began heading for the rocks of Unimak Pass the Montauk began to back away. The helpless ship crashed into the Montauk but the latter vessel made a safe getaway while the crew of the Alloway tumbled into lifeboats and took their chances with a raging sea. The crazed member of the Allo-ways crew, a man named Poiey, refused to leave the doomed freighter.

Those who had taken to the lifeboats were picked up by the Montauk. The Alloway dragging anchors caught on a rock a few yards off shore and at last reports she was holding there with Poiey still aboard. The Montauk reported that the anchors would give soon and that the Alloway doubtless would be pounded to pieces. Daytime Frock Leader Mercantile Company.
