An Iced River In Nav.

1t was the Sth of May last year be.
fore the ice jam in the great lakes was
broken and marine traffic was resumed.
At the lower end of Lake Huron it is
estimated that the ice was fifteen
miles across and extended unbroken
to the foot of the lake.
1t was a strange scene that greeted
the jewellers along the st. Clair river
during this ice jam, and every day
the electric line of cars running be-
tween Detroit and Port Huron took
out loads of eXcursionists to see the
sight The banks of the river were
green with grass, and the foliage made
the landscape charming. Yet the river
itself was one great mass of crystal
hummocks and resembed a glacier
Meanwhile the women, in summer
dresses and with sunshades, gaZed and
gossiped On the silent crafts in mid
stream that were held by the ice. AT
night when the boats We're Illuminated
it was a fairy scene on the ice

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Extent of Our Railroads.

From a little wooden track line along
the Lackawaxen creek, where the first
locomotive in the country had its trial
in 1920, the railroad systems of the
United States have grown in seventy
three wears to a network of rails which,
Strengthened out would make single
track extending eight times around the
world. Visualize this eightfold girdle.
Beside it a new track is progressing
twelve miles day on the ninth circuit.
On every five mile stretch Is locomo-
tive with n train of eight cars. There
are five men ut work for every mile
and 240 new men coming to work eV-
cry day. The road carries more ton
mage than all the ships on all the seas
together with the railroads of the
busiest half of Europe. From the lines
that make up the imaginary manifold
belt one wage Garner out of every hf-
teen in the country, directly or indi-
rectly, secures a living for himself ana
his dependents, if not as fireman or
conductor or a superintendent, then as
a locomotive builder or a steel worker
or even one of the lumbermcn engaged
in hewing down the 5000 square miles
of timber employed every year for ties.

County Public schools Must Remain in
Continuous Session.

AS previously announced, Lincoln
cOunty's public schools will have an
extension of term. This will amount
to one month. In view of this many
applications have been received at the
office of the undersigned to divide the
term. Except in case of epidemic, the
law requires schools to remain in con
tinuous session until the expiration of
the term.
Although it is as much the duty of
teachers and trustees as that of
the county superintendent, to see
that the law is executed, yet informa-
ton has been received that it is the in
tentiou of certain teachers and trus-
tees to suspend the schools in viola
ton of the law; so notice is hereby
given that all such violation will be
dealt with as the law provides. This
matter will be further discussed at an
early date.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Five hundred East
Side Hebrew men and women met to-day
and formed the Ladies' Anti-beef Trust
Association. They elected Mrs Carolyn
Schatzberg president, and she appointed
Mrs. Pauline Frickel treasurer. Out of
compliment to the Garment Workers
Union, which had sent delegates to the
meeting, a young man named Blumenthal
was made vice president and Jacob Kirsch-
berg secretary.
A committee of seven women was ap-
pointed and the members instructed 10 visit
all the tenement houses on the East Side
10 persuade the Hebrew women not to buy
meat until the price was reduced to the
point Of a year ago. that is, 10 and II cents
per pound. They were not to create any
disturbances. but when they saw Hebrew
women coming out Of a butcher shop with
meat they were instructed TO argue with
them. II they were unwilling to throw the
meat away but willing to pOin the Organi-
ZatiOn the committee women were to buy
IL from them and throw il into the street
Together with this committee another
OF nine men was appointed as an auxiliary
TO the women. After the work of plac-
ing the boycott throughout the East Side
is completed the committee will continue
its missionary work in other parts of the
city, visiting the labor and benevolent So
meetings and lodges. They are TO secure
the cooperation OF such bodies and secure
delegates TO attend the meetings of the as
sociation. The association, which had a
