ANTHRAX DEPLETES
CARABAOS
(By Kail)
MANILA, Dec. 9. Anthrax has
Tiade such inroads among the
work animals, chiefly caaboa or
water buffalo, in central Luzon
that paralysis of agricultural activ
ities is threatened. Thousands of
caraboa have died from the disease
in the last few weeks, and all
available veterinarians have been
detailed to the infected area in an
attempt to stamp it out.
"With the 160,000 just appro
priated . by the legislature," said
Secretary of Agriculture Apostol,
"a systematic campaign against
anthrax, including careful, thor
ough and complete quarantine and
vaccination of every animal in the
infected area, is made possible."
LOTTERY MAY
SAYE CATHEDRAL
(By Tht Associated Fresi)
(By Mill)
COLOGNE, Dec. 23. Cologne's
great cathedral is being neglected
because of the impoverishment of
the Cathedral Building Society
and the inability of its members
to raise sufficient funds in the
Rhineland to keep the historic
building in repair.
Consequently an appeal has
been made to the Prussian Minis
try to grant permission for the
establishment of a lottery to keep
a few workmen employed on the
building. The sandstone is ex
tremely fragile and needs constant
attention.

Thi famous Oidsmobile Six
which recently completed the
first coast-to-coast trip ever made
by any automobile in high Rear
will be one of the features during
the Automobile Show week in New
York. Following the New York
show the "one-geared" ear will
visit several other of the larger cit
ies throughout the country wnere
shows, will be held during the next
two or three months.
The wonderful record estab
lished by this absolutely stock car
on its long Jaunt from New.iork
to Los Angeles has opened the eye
of the motoring public to the pos
sibilities of the small bore, high
speed, high efficiency, six cylinder
engine.
Driven by "Cannon-Ball" Ba
ker, the famous race driver, the
Oldsmoblle six left New York on
October 8. after all gears except
high had been removed from the
transmission and the gear box
sealed in the presence of promi
nent New York automobile and j
newspaper men. After 12 days
of driving time. Baker pulled Into
Los Angeles 3CT4 miles from New
York without mishap of any kind
and with a record of having pulled
every grade on the long grind In
high gear with ease.
In spite of the many hardships
encountered while passing through
the Kansas and Oklahoma flood
areas, the car averaged 28.7 miles
per gallon of gasoline for the en
tire trip; and only one and one
half pints of oil were consumed.
Arriving in Los Angeles on Oc
tober 26th, the car was immedi
ately driven around Beverly Hills
track at an average speed of 68
miles per hour. Absolutely no ad
justments or changes were made
on the car It was driven to the
track by Baker immediately upon
his arrival at Los Angeles to prove
that the car had unusual speed as
well as great pulling power in high
gear.
Baker and his sturdy Olds car
remained on the coast about a
week during which time numerous
road runs and mountain climbs
were made, including a record run
from Los Angeles to San Francisco
and a climb of Mt. Hamilton in
high gear of course
On its return trip East, the car
stopped at Beveral of the bigger
cities and was placed on exhibition
by Oldsmoblle distributors and
dealers. It created much com
ment wherever it was shown and
was always the center of interested
crowds whenever it was parked
along the curb.
"Cannon-Ball" Eaker on his
return to his home in Indianapolis
was full of enthusiasm over the
performance, stamina, and all
around quality of the Oidsmobile
Six. In Baker's own words. "She s
the greatest little boat I ever
drove."
Three days before Christmas.
Baker walked into Sales Manager
Peasley's office in Lansing and
handed him a check for a new Six
sedan a Christmas present for
his wife. He said, "I told my wife
so much about my little Olds Six
after I got back from the west
that she became as much sold on
the car as I was. I figured I owed
her a reward for keeping the home
fires burning while I made my rec
ord breaking drive from New York
a i j f j a iL.

one of the wonderful Oidsmobile
Sixes would be just the thing."

Hanley has always been identi

goa recognition that was lost
when he came! into the vast isolat
ed stretches ;of central Oregon
where poetry ;and philosophy are
looked upon as peculiarities of an
idle dreamer. -
Your train is not due for over

start a fire'? it was in this man
ner that the poet of central Ore
gon greeted a friend be met in a
Redmond hotel a few days ago
when the holiday spirit was still
dominant. The friend, knowing
Quigley only in the role of a base
ball fan, went around the corner

friend left Quigley's home five
minutes before train time, firmly
believing he had been in the pres
ence of an unpung poet a writer
of verse and singer of optimism
who should b included in Ameri
ca's literary galaxy.
Yes, that; is mine. I write
once in a while just to pass the
time this was Quigley's answer
to a commint made by the friend
after noticing that a Christmas
poem on the ;front page of the
Redmond paper was signed
Thomas J. Quigley." "If you
are interested in verse I II show
you some of my 'stuf when I get
this fire made," said Quigley as
he applied a .match to the kindling
in the stove.
For nearly i one-half hour the
friend turned, over pages of a
acrap book containing clippings
from a central Oregon1, paper
haatily appraising verse and prose,
all the time Qnder the impression
that Quigley was a "poet of the
sticks" perhaps a copyist. And
then the friend took another scrap
book. In tne front of this book
was a two column picture, a
newspaper halftone of "Thomas J
Quigley," who back in the eighties
had Joined the staff of a Chicago
paper. The poet of the sticks be
came a poet of the skyscrapers
The friend uddcnly forgot the
ballplayer and showed marked in
qulstiveness about the literary
man. This -inquisitiveness was
not satisfied by Quigley. who was
quite willing to sing his verse, but
was relucta.itr to talk about him
self. Acting j as his own accom
panlst on a banjo. Quigiey sang
his sons of optimism and the
friend, while listening, eagerly
leeked through the scrap books
for information about the new
found poet. ?
In one scr4P book was a story
of a young man who played the
role of hero tn the Iroquois thea
ter fire of Chicago. - That young
man was Thomas J. Quigley. In
that same wrap book were found
storle3 of a tiasPball player who
won renown fn the early days of
the national game. That player
was Thomas J. Quigley.' In an
other scrap . book were found
poems which hinted of a 'man

poet, James Whitcomb Itiley
That man was Thomas J. Quigley.
