Marvellous Cavern
Found in Tyrol by
Research Society
Cave Contains Chambers
$50 Feet Broad and 16O
High, Subterranean 'Cla-
ciers and Large River

BERLIN, Jan. Bo-News tust received
here from the Tyrol reports the dis
covery Of the most remarkable ice
cavern in Europe by an expedition of
the Salzburg section Of the Society
for Cave Researxh. It Hes In The
Taennen-Gebirge, mountain range
south of SalZburg and on the edge of
the SalZkammergut. The party passed
nearly two full days in the cave with
out exhausting its wonders. In Its
wanderings through the cavern It
passed high ice walls and many mag
nifcent ice figures. At one poin. it
had to fight its way in the teeth OF
bowling cave storm, fact which
would indicate far greater dimensions
Of the cave than are yet known.
Later the discoverers came into great
cathedral-like chambers which were
fully $50 feet broad IN places and 1eo
feet high, and they found subterranean
glaciers more than 500 yards in length.
They proceeded some kilomters into
Their measurements indicate that the
cave IS much greater than any other
ice cave in Europe; in size and beauty
Of Ice formations it eclipses by far
the famous Giants Cave under the
Dachstein Mountain.
A later expedition went into the cave
and followed the course Of subter-
ranean river for two and q half kilo-
meters. when its further progress was
barred by debris that had fallen from
the roof. The river had an average
width of about e5 feet, and the vault
over It was about IS feet high The
Ice formations extend for about one
mile in length.

many years in an effort to enforce
their creed on others by political

Bryan Influence Trifling
Bryan hasn't made a dent in the
Democratic solidarity here. He spoke
a few days after the Jackson Day din
ner in Washington at big banquet
given in his honor in Des Moines, and
later the same evening to a mass meet
ing of about 900 persons. Two nights
later the regular Democratic organiza-
ton had big meeting. virtually anti
Bryan and pro-Wilson. Men who at
tended both meetings say there is no
doubt about the intentions of virtually
ganizaton. They are all against Bryan
as to make it entirely pGss NC tor
party leader, no matter what course he
may ~hoose to pursue.
Views as TO the effect OF the peace
treaty being the chief issue in the
campaign are conflicting. There are
some who think, with The Des Moines
Register" that with the treaty as the
ISSUE President Wilson or Herbert
Hoover would be so strong in the state
as to make it entirely possible for
lowa's thirteen electral votes to be
cast in the Democratic column, al
though the state did not even 90 Tor

view Of course favor ratification Of
t'c treaty without reservations They

that the twenty-siX delegates TO the

At present this is virtually conceded
by leaders of all factions. Men who
said in December that Wood had every
thing MS own way in Iowa now think
Lowden has the upper hand.
The Wood leaders think that il a
preferential primary were held 1t would
be carried by Wood. This is also in
dicated by poll taken a few days ago
by The Des Moines Capital" strong

Wood in the lead, Lowden second, John

Dental primary last year.
So the delegates to the convention
will be selected by state convention,
which in turn Will be composed of
representatives sent by county conven-
tions for mass caucuses. The conven-
tion will select the Big Four, and then
will resolve itself into district delega-
tions, which will report nominations
for district delegates. These then wlll
be approved by the state convention,
and the trick will be over.
This plan is conceded to be a stacked
deck for Lowden-though of course in
no unfair wa since the primary was
as candidate. Having been d student
at the State University here, he is be-
ing backed vigorously by the alumni
association. which is scattered through
every county and virtually ever cleo

Typhus Sweeping Poland
Children Kept From School
Throuoh Lack of Shoes

In his report to the Joint Distribu-

ish Relief Committee, Lieutenant Sam

Commissioner in Poland, says that con-
ditons are rapidly growing worse and
hat large percentage Of the Polish
children are unable to go to school
owing to lack of shoes.
Conditions in Volynia, formerly the
beauty spot Of Poland, are three times
as bad as in Lithuania, he says. Typhus
is sweeping the region and exacting
heavy death toll.
In his trip through Volnia, Lieuten-
ant Schein tells how men, women and
children, seeing the American flag on
his truck, followed him through the
streets begging and crying that he get
word to their relatives in America to
help them. In Novograd only 20 houses
are free of typhus, he says, and child

RICE LAKE WINS
CLOSING GAME
The Game Was a Good One But
the Crowd Was Smaller
Weather Cold

The closing game of the season for
the Ladysmith base ball team was lost
to Rice Lake, Sunday afternoon, by
score of 4 to 1, Rice Lake at the same
time winning the series of seven games
played by thse two teams, 4 to 3.
Ladysmith's one score was made in
the second inning, Third Baseman Rock
being the lucky runner. Rice Lake got
off to a good start in the first inning
while Lowry, Ladysmith's pitcher,
was trying to find himself. He had
never pitched to Benda and was handi-
capped to that extent. Rice Lake
failed to score between the first and
eighth. but annexed two in the eighth.
'Chub" held the I4akers to six hits and
struck out eleven men, playing con-
sistent game after the first inning.
1t was a good game of ball and was
until the last frame. The
weather was too cool to be agreeable
and the crowd was consequently small
er than usual.

MORE POP. MEANS
MORE PAY TO DADS

No one, perhaps, had greater reason
to wish for big increase in the pop
ulation of Ladysmith, or watched for
than the three members of the city
council.
The members not only took nat
ural interest and civic pride. in con-
templating a substantial increase in
the size of our city as gauged by
population, but it meant to them an
increased and merited remuneration
for their services in behalf of the city
as it's executive officers. For several
years they had been entitled to more
pay than they were getting under the
1910 census figures, but their salaries
were fixed. by law on the basis Of a
population of 1852, whereas the city
has undoubtedly had population of
more than $500 for six or seven years.
On the 1910 population basis the
mayor Of this city received salary Of
but $500, and the cOuncilmen of but
$400 each, for their services. Now, un-
der the late enumeration, showing a
of 1851, the mayor will re-
ceive $1,000 and the two c0uncilmen
will receive $3.50 each. The increase
comes automatically under the com
form of government law and
is retroactive to January l. 1920. when
the census was taken. Therefore, the
members of the council had little
back pay coming to them, for eight
months services when the result of
the enumeration of the city's people
was announced by the census bureau,
a month ago.

TO EXTEND MAIN
TO HOSPITAL
Meeting Considers Matter of
Providing Means To Fur
nish Running
Water

A public meeting held at the city
hall Tuesday evening to consider the
matter Of extending a water main to
St Mary's hospital was attended by
about twenty-five citizens, including
the city council
The hospital has had no running wa
ter and is greatly in need of it, as the
well there is not adequate or conven-
lent Various ways and means were
suggested to raise the necessary
amount of money, estimated at about
$1,000, to extend the main which now
terminates on Sahin-av, in the Hud-
gel & WelptOn addition, out to the
hospital.
The council agreed to provide the
principal amount of $4,000 by raising
the money OH loan to run three years,
payable one-third each year, if the
citizens would pay the interest on the
loan. The sum of S175 was at once
pledged ON the interest by citizens
and it is believed that the full amount
necessary to take care OF the interest
will easily be raised.
Property owners along the line OF
the proposed main, including Wilferd
Schmidt and Ferdinand Schmidt, want
city water and will advance money
to help the project, to receive credit
on water rentals. The extension will
undoubtedly be made, but it will re-
ouire several weeks time in which to
obtain the water pipes
An adjourned meeting will be held
at the city hall next Monday evening
to consider the matter still further.
