Hungry Timber Wolves
Devour Three Men

IN ORT ARTHUR. Ont. Dec. 27.
r "A rowing band of hungry
timber wolves has devoured
, three men. according to reports
from the snow covered trails of the
Sturgeon River country telling of
a losing battle fought by two In
dians after a white trapper had
been downed and killed. The In
dians found a spot in the woods
where on the bloody pounded snow
wero bits OF dogs harness belong
ing TO the trapper and human
bones. They followed the trail and
failed to return. A searching
party found another patch trodden
in the snow, with much more blood
about two miles beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians had car
ried were lying in the crimsoned
snow. Scattered about were bones
and bits of clothing. The carcasses
of sixteen dead wolves--some half
eaten--lay stretched in a circle.

Britain to Ask Longer Term
in Which to Pay War Debt.
Special Dispatch 10 THE New York HERALD,
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. II. c.. Dec. 2T.

Officials Of the Government expressed
strong hope to-day that the British mis-
sion headed by Sir Stanley Baldwin,
Chancellor OF the Exchequer, would be
able to effect an adjustment of the debt
satisfactory co both countries. 1t Is be-
lieved certain, however. that Great Brit
ain will ask for more liberal terms than
the law creating the world war funding
commission would permit.
A fighter rate of interest at the be-
ginning of payments and an extension
of the time limit from twenty-five to
thirty years are among the chief
suggestions which the British Commits
sion may be expected to put forward.
The law as it stands limits the period
OF payments, but whether It would be
possible to adjust interest payments on
graduated scale SO as to make them
light at the outset, without violating
the Az per cent rate specified under
the law, remains to be SEEN

RAYMOND ]. B. Thayer

Raymond ]. B. Thayer, who died
Tuesday. May %, 1922. was a~natiye
of River Falls and had spent most
of his life here. He attended both
local schools. and was graduate
of the River Falls High School
After his graduation he was EN-
ployed in several business establish
ments here-the postoffice, Stewart
Mercantile Co., I. |. Lusk's and others.
He left here for Minneapolis,
where he was employed some time at
Dayton's as salesman in the dress.
goods department. From there he
went to similar position in the
Schuneman & Evans store at St.
Paul, While there he and his brother
in-law enlisted in war service and
throughout the war were employed
in shipyards and munition plants in
the South and East.
After the armistice Raymond went
back to his former position at Schune-
man & Evans and later returned to
this city, where he was employed at
the normal school cafeteria up to the
time of his last illness.
Last August he married Mrs.
Blanche Woods, who. with their in
FAINT son, Frank b., survives him.
Besides these he leaves q mourn
their loss his parents, MIR. and Mrs.
F. B. Thayer, his sister. Mrs. Frank

who knew him best. His sudden
death came as severe shock to all,

A Successful Clinic

Under the auspices OF the River
Falls Anti-Tuberculosis Assn, DR.. T.
L. Harrington, OF Milwaukee, and
Dr. r. z. Mitchell, of Eau Glars, as
sisted by Miss Breen of Milwaukee
and by several River Falls ladies
conducted very successful cnest
clinic at the Armory last Friday and
Saturday. Far more people presented
themselves for examination than it
was possible to examine in the two
days and the second day an attempt
was made toe choose for examination
those who had lived in contact with
tuberculosis or whose history other
wise showed probability of the dis
ease. In the two days 105 people
were examined and 1890 of those ex-
amined were found tubercular. This
is a much higher per cent than is the
average for clinics throughout the
state but the selecting OF applicants
the second day is one reason for
raising the percentage.
Many of those found tubercular hau
had no suspicion That they had the
disease and the bringing OF these
early cases under treatment, while
they are still culpable is the largest
good o. the linic. Besides the con-
dftion of the lungs attention was
also called to the teeth, tonsils. goi-
tiers and heart conditions which need
ed attention.
Everyone who saw the work of the
clinic felt that great amount of
good was being done and Saturday it
was heard on all sides "These doc
tors ought to stay here for week"
But the time of these doctors is
booked far in advance and the only
solution for River Falls is to sell
more Christmas Seals and thus to
have money to put on larger clinic
next year
AS direct result of the clinic in
River Falls movements are already
on foot to have clinics in Ellsworth
and in Hudson this fall.

The many friends of Judge War

trying to prevail upon him to enter
the congressional race against Jas. A.

10th district want real>ma to rep
resent them, they will make no mis-
take in the choice of Judge Knowles.
He is a broad, able, courageous man,
whose honesty is unquestioned and
who, if elected would truly represent

NOT sQUELCHING BOB

1t is indicative of tie outcome, in
our opinion, that practically every
country newspaper which publishes
propaganda from the Republican Cit
liens conference clso publishes an
even stronger article from the Blaine
La Toilette faction. In other words,
the Committee of "A is gaining rec
ognition in the press, but not to the
detriment of its opposition, and the
last election proved that there will
have to be an awful slump in the
latter's support before Skogmo's ma
chine can have a look-in. Since it
appears that the Blaine-La Toilette
machine used the non-partisan
league appeal only as campaign
vehicle, dropping the idea after cleo
ton. considerable support which was
lost through that allegiance has now
been restored.
