The Interruption was caused by
the cake clipping out of his hands

the restored pastry confection,
which ho handed to Jerry, and
the latter without batting an eye,
went on:
"Yes, as I said before Heine

Hnurccful Individual, wan maintain
ed on his trip to Chicago and other

rived homo luHt night. During the
liO Konut odd hours It took to go
from Portland to Chicago he wrolo
out his annual report in long hand
on the truln, having taken his notes
and data along for this purpose.
At every division point en route
he mulled whatever section of the
report he had already written out,
hack to Mrs. (jludys York, stenog
rapher of the county ugent's office,
who oa receipt typewrote it. On
reaching Chicago the last section
of the report was finished, and he
at once mulled it. Mr. York then
mulled the finished report to the
extension service, etc.
Anent the success of this scheme
it Is understood that some of the
sections of the annual report mail
ed back arrived at the county
agent's office here badly mussed up

The Journey eustward was taken
primarily to utlend the national
