The first wrjrd relpd of the dis

that she would rross the path of th--Carpathla
at a certain point In the
quickest possible time and relay the

Main Details Obtalaad
The plan worked out perfectly, but;
Thompson had a K'd deal of trouble
lrf securing the use of the Franconla s
wireless. Only 1
using his wits and
best judgment was he able to send
hla queries. A single reply gwve him
the exact information he sought, that
there were 705 survivors out of about
IIOO on board the ill-fated hlp. He
managed to have this message sent to
Cape Kace, from whence It reached the
Globe. His message was 600
words
when all details vere included, and
cost the newspaper $1000. but Thomp-

in the county. At the stockyards the
party was Joined by J. V. Fike, county
club leader, and M. C. Morris of the
state department of education.
That the club members derive gen
erous financial gain from their work,
as well as education, is shown by the
record of little Coy Cowden. one of the
rmallest members of the organization.
Four months ago this girl sought a
pig and carried it home In her arms. It
now weighs 320 pounds. It is the club's
prize pig.
Mr. Eyre announced Monday that he
had put $100 at the disposal of the pig
club bearing the name of his bank.
It Is the best Investment I ever
made,'' he eaid, "and I am prepared to
put J5000 into It next year. I am
prouder of my pig club than of any-
thing else I have ever achieved.
