THREATENED ICE SHORTAGE IN
LITTLE FALLS a

Little Falls may experience an ice
shortage this fall, according to James
Colby, owner Of the Little Falls Ice
Company. Owing to the extreme hot
weather this summer, there has been
a heavy drain on the ice supply. The
company put up several thousand
cakes more last winter than the pre-
vious winter but about two thousand
cakes were lost when one of the ice
house walls gave way.
/. Mr.. Colby has visited number Of
cities in this section Of the state in an
effort to purchase additional ice to tide
Little Falls over but he has been un-
successful in his attempts, as the other
cities are similarly situated and in some
cases were even worse off.
Ice deliveries in the residence Sec
ton here have been cut to three per
week.

TAUGHT TO Be REDS
Communism Is Taught in the
Schools in Russia. ,

says Former Prisoner Of War.

generation Of Russians are Bolshevist
says Capt. Marion c. Cooper Of Jack.
sonville. Fla, the American flyer who
was captured by Russians while serv.
Ing In the Polish army and recently
escaped from a Moscow prison. He
attrib'tes this to the BOlshevist edu.
cationaI system, under which commun.
ism Is taught In the schools.
'The schools are all red," he stated,
land the educational program pre-
scrtbes that the first thing to be de-
veloped in the mind of the child is
the revolutionary conscience
I'm prison saw. several times, chill
dren visit their anti-Bolshevist par
ents. The children were reds and &C.
cepted their parents Imprisonment
philosophically, wondering how they
could go against the tenets they
had been taught to absorb in the
classroom"
Vying WITH this system of educating
the children, said Captain Cooper,
was the wonderful propaganda system
by which the Bolsheviki attempt to
convert adults.
Their communist lecturers work
even in the prisons, trying to convert
the prisoners" he continued. "They
even tried it on me. There were lee
lures or classes held frequently. If a
man said he was converted and could
convince the prison committee Of that
fact, he generally was released.
Further in the line of skilled prop
uganda was the excellent treatment
Of the Polish war prisoners just be-
fore they were returned to Poland,
under the repatriation agreement Of
the Polish-Russian peace treaty. Be-
fore each bunch was repatrlated, all
of the soldiers in it were given new
clothes and new shoes and were we'll
fed for several weeks, so that when
they arrived in Poland they looked
we'll fed, we'll dressed and, in short,
were walking advertisements for the
soviet government"
Generally, Captain Cooper said, con-
ditions in the prisons were very bad
from the standpoint Of diet, but that
he received no personal i'll treatment.
