BEFORE SHIPPING IN PRODUCTS,
ASCERTAIN WHAT is PRODUC-
ED LOCALLY, FARM BUREAU
rRGEg

Huron, Sept. 30.-South Dakota
merchants VINO sometimes buy their
potatoes and other products from out
side markets are urged by the South
Dakota Farm Bureau federation to
investigate local production this year
and buy from home producers so far
as possible.
Federation officials call attention es-
peciaIly to the surplus production Of
potatoes this year in parts Of the state
which normally produce an undersup-
ply. BY buying the local crop instead
of shipping in from outside sources,
farmers will be benefited and consum-
ers will not have to pay the excessive
freight rates.

Washington, Aug. L. Warning
against unofficial promoters of colOni-
zation schemes I'm South America was
issued by the Commerce department,

And Somehow, Breaking the Rotten
Ice In Front Of Her Body as She
Moved, the Girl Succeeded In Get
ting Wilton to the Shore.

AiN9 WllAOU 10 ANG 0UoEGs
the girl succeeded in getting Wilton to
the shore. From that point. half
dragging and half carrying him over
the snow, she reached the store at
last.
She pried the stiff hand from JOe's
body. That was the hardest Of her
efforts. Molly left Joe's body upon the
threshold and got Wilton into her lit
tie room behind the store. She raised
him on the bed and laid him down, his
head upon her pillow.
Her teeth were chattering from the
deadly cold that gripped her, and her
own hands we're numb. but she man
aged TO strip Off Wilton's socks, his
hood. macllinaw and sweater. His
face was not badly frozen, but his
hands and feet were marble white.
Suddenly the girl saw the blood that
discolored the sleeve OF Wiltons
shirt. She ripped the sleeve from the
shoulder. She saw that the arm was
broken and that a bullet entering be
hind. had passed ohliquely out, leav-
ing a small but not dangerous wound
The blood had long since ceased TO
flow and clotted the wound In con-
gealed, frozen mass.
The danger from the frostblte was
the more immediate. Molly took snow
from the threshold and began TO rub
his face, his feet and his fingers. For
nearly an hour the girl persisted, never
ceaslng her efforts, In spite OF her
WEAKNESS, and the thawing, dripping
clothes about her. And at last the
white skin began to be suffused with
an angry red.
Then she washed away the clotted
blood from the arm and nerved her
self 10 the task that must be per
formed. At the Moose Lake mission
she had nursed an Indian with a frac-
tured leg. set by the superintendent
and this experience was all she had to
go by. But the break was simple
one. She brought the edges Of the
bone together, made splints from
pieces Of packing-case and wound the
whole tightly with cloth smeared with
bears fat. Then she heated some
broth and poured II. drop by drop.
down Wilton's throat.
When she could do no more she took
her clothes out OF the room and changed
IN another, kept for travellers. separat-
ed by a thin partition Of pine planks.
She had Just finished when she
heard her father shuf1ing down the
stairs. II was the first time he had
left his bed. The girl ran to the door
in fear.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1922-08-09

II was only the contraction OF the
frozen sinews OF his fingers that gave
him his hold on Joe's body.
II was then that. In her horror.
Molly recognized Wilton. She crept
toward the break. and lay down on the
ice, cropping toward him with her
hands. She shouted TO him to hold fast
and, finding that he was already I'M
conscious. crept cautiously nearer over
the cracking surface.
Then she saw what It was that VII
ton had been carrying, and she recog-
nized Joe. Stunned mOmentarily by
the shock, she nerved herself TO the
task of rescuing the living. She still
crept forward until the upper part OF
her body extended across the break.
She placed her hands beneath Wilton's
shoulders and tried to lift him.
II was a task beyond her powers.
As she strained TO II, suddenly the ice
broke all about her, and In a moment
she was Laundering beside Wilton In
the water.
At this place the underbed OF the
portage was Of peat mixed with sand,
covered with water rather than slime.
MOlly's feet touched bottom. The wa
ter was only shoulder-deep. With
quick resource she managed TO draw
her feet up from the swamp and TO
drag Wilton forward a pace or two,
thus freeing him from the clutch OF
the muskeg. And now she felt firm
sand under her. She continued to
drag him toward the shore and, as
they moved, Joe's body. still clutched
In the set Of Wiltons stiffened fingers,
slid grotesquely over the surface Of
the ice beyond.
And somehow, breaking the rotten
