HONOR and SHAME

Down in Havana two human be
ings hurled their weight and physica
strength upon each other. They each
did their utmost to beat down his
opponent; to render him unconscious
to inflict some such injury as to MAIN
him for the time being at least, and
perhaps (who cares?) for the rest OF
his life.
Nobody will suffer but those two
men themselves. Neither of them
hopes or will try to take the others
life. They will damage no property
injure no PERSONS interests and
hinder no mans welfare What
ever financial loss is felt will be
voluntarily undertaken by whoever
feels it.
Why do these men fight?
For wealth-as wealth may be
measured by the division of what 9th
ers are willing to pay to see the af
fair.
For power? Not in the least, fol-
neither will have or control more
power when the fight is over than he
does at this moment.
For fame? Well-call it that.
And from one of the country
~ hr
other men will denounce the Havana
exhibition as shame and disgrace

COMPANIONS LIFE SAVED
BY SMALL BOYS COURAGE
GREEK LABORER FOUND
THE ICE VERY ROTTEN

A Greek laborer tried to cross the
river on the ice near the county hos
pital Monday evening. The ice gave
way and the man fell in. A hurry-up
call to the police station for help
brought Chief Swanson and Fred King
but by the time they arrived he had
got to shore by clinging to a cake Of
ice and through the help Of his COM
rades. This should be a warning to
people who might venture upon the
ice at this time of the year.

Seven Year-Old Earl Ployhar
in Line for Carnegie Medal
by Saving the Life of His
Play mate.

An accident Wnlch might nave re-
suited fatally had it not been for the
quick action and courage of little Earl
Ployhar, occurred Saturday afternoon
close to the little park bridge near the
Elk's building. The two boys, Earl
Ployhar, aged seven, and Wilton Wold
five years old, were shooting bow and
arrows at about o'clock in the after
noon. Winton threw his bow nown
upon the thin crust of ice on the
south river bank He then started aft
er it, whereupon Earl demonstrated
with him, saying that the ice was un-
safe. Nevertheless, Winton ventured
out upon it and when out near the
edge, the ice gave way and the boy
was plunged into the water. The
river is icy cold and the boy could not
swim. Young Ployhar rushed down
the bank and without hesitation jump
ed in after his chum. He is able to
swim somewhat, but his clothes and
the fact that his companion was al
most as heavy as himself made his
task very difficult. Earl got hold of
the boy and tried to boost him on the
ice, but it was so rotten that it broke
with his weight.
The accident had been witnessed by
Brakeman Jim Collins and Fireman
Iverson from the railroad track. They
both rushed to the rescue. Mean
while Earl was keeping the smaller
boy above water and telling him to
hold his breath. They got out in the
stream some little distance. When the
men got too close to the edge of the
ice, Collins fell through. Iverson ex-
tended his ash-hoe to young Wold He
grasped it and was drawn ashore A
plank was thrown out on the ice and
Earl was able to pull himself out In
the struggle in the water he had kick
ed off one of his shoes. Winton Wold
was Immediately taken into the Elk's
building and was later transferred to
the Platou hospital, where he was well
cared for. He had some water in his
lungs, but was able to come home
Sunday morning. Earl Ployhar is the
son of F. E. Ployhar. Undoubtedly
had it not been for the prompt and in
telligent assistance given by the little
Ployhar boy, his companion would
have drowned before other help could
have arrived. 1t was remarkable res
cue in that the hero of the situation
was so young and yet knew exactly
what to do and did it. If anyone in the
United States deserves Carnegie
medal, we may truthfully say that Earl
Ployhar does. Let us hope that a
movement be started for that purpose.
Another man was on the scene at
the time of the accident, but no one
was acquainted with him and he has
not been seen since. He was tall,
heavy man with dark moustache.
Jim Collins received a thorough wet
ting as we'll as the boys. The Ployhar
boy has suffered no serious conse-
quences from his cold bath, as he
had swallowed no water and was
promptly cared for.
Here's pointer as to the value Of
the ChautauQua to Valley City: Young
Ployhar learned to swim at the Chau-
tauqua last summer. The saving Of
one life is worth all that the Chautau-
qua has cost our citizens.
