TWO BOYS DROWN
WHILE SKATING
Break Through Ice on Carp
Lake.

The first drowning accident of the
present season in Emmet county occur
red Wednesday evening on Carp Lake,
when the eleven-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. M. Hunt, of Carp Lake, and
twelve-year-old Reginald Let's, color
ed boy living at Wheeling, about a
mile north of Carp Lake station, broke
through the ice while skating.
The boys had gone out on the ice
after school and were pushing one
another on a sled over the smooth SUR
face. They ventured out on the thin
ice and broke through, and as there
was no one near to hear their cries for
help, they soon became chilled in the
icy water and drowned.
When they did not appear at tt cir
homes at supper time search pJas
made and their bodies discovered in
about five or six feet of water, about
fifteen rods out from shore. The
bodies were taken to the respective
homes of their parents and the funeral
services were held Sunday.-Petoskey

Michigan potato prices doubtless will
be boosted materially as the result of
action taken today by the United States
department of agriculture. Secretary
David +. Houston signed an order
which will prohibit the importation of
potatoes from Canada. Newfoundland,
Great Britain, Ireland, continental
Europe and other foreign countries
after Wednesday of this week. With
practically all foreign competition re-
moved, the United States will be de-
pendent on the domestic production,
and general increase in prices is ex-
pected.
The blanket quarantine was issued
because scientists in the department of
agriculture stated that the existence of
powdery scab in various foreign
countries was jeopardizing the potato
industry in the United States. They
claimed the disease might be commun-
icated to the soil of the United States.
Indeed, they found evidences of its eX-
istence in four places in this country.
Scientists from the Canadian depart
ment of agriculture contended that the
disease is an old one and not regarded
