He had been picked up, while being blown out to sea, by a boat which towed him into the Hingham harbor, where he was observed paddling about the bay in a row boat using one of the seats for a paddle. The police were notified and Patrolman George Berry went to the Yacht club at Crow Point, where Blckford was found aboard the Foster Trainor yacht, Grey Goose, whose lookout had discerned him paddling about the bay. Before Judge Edward B. Pri/tt, where he was arraigned on the charge of stealing a row boat, Bickford said the took the boat from the Enst Boston Yacht clubhand rowed to Governor's island where he went ashore. Coming back to the boat he discovered that the oars were gone. In his effort to get back to East Boston the tide carried him down the bay and far out to sea. All the time, he said, he tried to make headway by using a seat. He stated far down the bay near a lighthouse a power boat came along and offered him a tow and when Inside a point of land which he believed was Nantasket they cast him adrift. He then continued on paddling until sighted by the lookout on the Grey Goose. He was fined $15 and allowed by the court to pay the amount in $2 weekly payments. - Pn»» Largely Mythical ' Those »ho compare the* age in which their lot has fallen with a golden age which exists only in imagination, may talk of degeneracy and decay ; but no man who is correctly informed as to the past will be disposed to take a morose or desponding view of the present.--Thomas Babington, Lord Macaulay (1800-1859), "History of England." " Winnipeg.--The Royal Northwest Mounted Police of Carada have bad to change their methods as the times have changed. They are not so much called upon to cope with cattle rustling and horse stealing as when the ranges were broad and the ranchers few. The night riding rustlers now are forgers. They doctor documents Instead of smearing brands. Their Improved penmanship lets them make a high priced pure-bred beast out of a graded animal picked up from some bard-up homesteader. j?hcre do not appear to be many of these gifted breeders, but one, who lives near Calgary. Alberta, was fined *1.000 when the mounted police proved that he had faked a registration certification to make pure-bred Percherons oat of scrubby draft horses, says the New York Herald Tribune. Another cattle dealer might still be pawning off pure-bred cattle on American buyers if it bad not been shown that the bull he recorded as the nlre ef stock he sold at fancy figures had been butchered many years before. The price of silver fox puppies IS In creased by tampered registrations. Drug trafficking seems to have the place in police records once taken by whisky trading. The war on narcotics was a prominent part of the year's mounted police activities, and the fight is still on. Some headway Is being made. Superintendent Allard of Winnipeg, Manitoba, thinks "the situation has somewhat Improved." 9 To Deport Convlcta. The policy of the mounted police is the apprehension of the principals rather than of the addicts. The superintendent of the British Colombia district reports that "a number of Important members of the drug ring have been fonnd guilty and are at present serving long sentences, which, in the majority of cases, will be followed by deportation." When Lord f!p, described "as the third most important dealer In narcotics in Vancouver," last year was beginning his Imprisonment for three years, Lee Go, "who is a very astute man," was blandly engaged in banding cabbages and lettuce to customers In bis vegetable store. But Lee Go had other interests. He is shrewd, and he Is rich. He bad dealings with Gulan Hohammed, a Hindu, who is less astute, and is very'poor. Lee showed £ulan how the desire for a little more money might be fulfilled by performing a very little service for Lee. Lee is now serving five years in jail, and Gylan two. ^7 Three Months on One Cas^^ Before they could be convicted Sergeant Fripps took months to unravel the trade cunningly devised by the astute Lee Go. When Lee Go received an order, perhaps with a purchase of parsley in his vegetable store, he would instruct the buyer to meet the vender of the drugs at a certain place. There he would meet Gulan, In whose cabin Lee Go's drugs were stored. But when the buyer met Gulan, the Hindu would not have the drugs. He had hid them and would tell the buyer where they were to be found. The place of the hiding was changed with each purchase. The mounted police do not do all the detective work in these drug cases. The drug principals employ detectives •fto shadow the police informants. In ~ m group of sucb cases In Winnipeg last spring, "the suspected persons employed a private detective agency to follow and expose a valuable informant" of the police. Catch Suspect for Germany. The mounted police still "get their man." Traditionally, the mounted police always got their man. Old-timers used to amend the tradition by agre& lng that the police always got a man. It is not bard to Imagine why it must be harder than ever for any police to "get their man" in these days of rapid transport and easy concealment. And If it Is harder to get their man, It is even harder to prove they have "the man." Yet the mounted police still get. their man often enough to prove they ask only a chance in a hundred to make good. Johann Klimek, a laborer of foreign birth, entered Canada in March, T927. The German government last May charged him with having committed a murder, and whither be bad gone none seemed to know. The police got on his trail. He lived for awhile in a foreign settlement In and near Fort William He came to Winnipeg He went west on a harvester's train He bad been searched for In many lumber camps and In many quarters. The bunt was kept up. He was pursued till be was arrested in Alberta last September, when be was returned to Germany. It was last year that Henry Venegratsky, alias Henry Vine, "perhaps," in the opinion of the mounted police, the most important personage In the illicit drug business of Winnipeg," received a sentence of six months In Jail and a fine of $200. Appeals Court Increases Sentence, •gainst the lightness of that sen tence the crown appealed, and It was then increased to three years. Super tntendent Allard observes, "This is the first ti-ne In the history of the Courts of Manitoba that *he Appeals court has seen fit to Increase a trial Judge's sentence, and the decision can. therefore, be considered an Important and far-reachlngjone." ft was a narcotics case bere which led, too, to the disclosure of the notorious system of "straw bonds,"* which Is not so much in evidence now as It was. Of course the mounted police pass Information from detachment to detachment. From Information received from Montreal came about the Seigel seizure, which further resulted In three Informations being laid against "one Louis Rando, probably the most Important offender against the act In this district Rando Is now being sought and it la thought that he is In the United Statea. ' Last of First Chiefs of Old South Elk Point, S. D.--A. O. Wnnsrud says be is the only person now living who held a state office wben South Dakota became a state in 1889. Wben men were chosen to fill governing offices of the new state Ringsrud was elected secretary of state and served two terms. He bad held county offices for ten years before that time. He was elected registrar of deeds and county clerk for Union county In 1878. After holding that office sis years, he was elected county treasurer. This office be held four years. He was Republican nominee for governor in 1806, but was defeated by Andrew B. Lee, populist candidate, with a majority of only 819 votes. In March, 1917, he was appointed a member of the South Dakota state board of charities and corrections, and served as president of tbat board ten years. Meantime be bad served as mayor,^ and member of the city council; president of the Union County Old Settlers' association; and for twelve years was a member of the Elk Point school board. Since 1885 be has been engaged In the mercantile business here. Rlngsrud arrived with his parents In Union county, on July 4, 1867, having come direct from Norway. At that time the railroad extended only as far west as Denlson, Iowa, so the Ringsrud family waited there for friends from the Brule settlement, nortb of Elk Point, who escorted them to their new home.

High blood pressure can be relieved and effectively cured, the public health service said, "only if a cheerful frame of mind is adopted and frequent estimations of pressure are shunned." Treatment, consisting principally of proper regimen, should be undertaken under the advice of a competent physician. The amoabt of exercise should be decided upon by the family doctor," It was advised. "Food is a factor in the treatment; but It is now believed that a consideration of the quantity of the food--a restriction lb amount-- rather than quality Is of greater Importance.
