Young Men To
Cure Flappers

Babylon, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-Twenty
five young unmarried men of this
Long Island town have set out 70
cure the "flapper."
After a solemn symposium the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
1--WE, the unmarried men OF Ba-
bylon, L. l., in indignation assem-
bled, do hereby solemrly declare
that,
Whereas, There has arisen a fad
among young women wearing their
galoshes unbuttoned, and of rolling
their stockings downward to a point
of impropriety, both OF which, in our
opinion, are slovenly and unneces-
sary;
Resolved, That we do agree not
to be seen in public with any young
women who practice these useless
and nonsensical fads."
BY way of explanation this for
NAL statement was issued:
"The young men of Babylon are
not prudes, but they have better
notion Of propriety than did, ths

Save Fish From
Death Under Ice

White Lake, Feb. 28.--During the
past week the Aurora County Inn
provement association has had a
crew of men working at White Lake.
a body of water near here. to save as
many fish as possible, as fish in the
lake have been dying in large num-
bers, due to smothering to death.
Air-holes were sawed through the
ice at different places and these pla-
ces were filled with rye straw.
Many wagonloads of dead fish
from the open water were thrown
away to make room for the incom-
ing live fish. Three wagonloads Oh
live fish--46,197 in number accord
ing to official count-were trans
ferred FROM the east section of the
lake to the west section, where there
were no fish.
Among the live fish scarcely q
large one could be found, the large
ones apparently having either died
or had been dipped out by fishermen
1t is hoped, however, that by leaving
the small ones now in the lake there
may be good fishing during the
summer.

Escape AS Gasoline
L a m p Explodes

White River, Feb. 28.-Mr. and
Mrs. John Buckman, living south OF
this city, had narrow escape from
death when a gasoline lamp in their
home exploded.
The lamp was in the front room
of the house, and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Buckman had just gone from the
front room to the kitchen when the
explosion occurred.
The terrific force of the explosion
iarred the east end of the house
loose SO that one could pass between
1t and the main part of the house.
The windows and plastering were
damaged to considerable extent
and it required more than three days
for two men to repair the damage.
Had members of the family been
in the front room at the time OF the
explosion without doubt they
would have been killed.

RELIEF WORKER

M1TCHELLL WOMAN RETURNS

TERRIBLE In NEAR EAST.

Mitchell, Feb. 2S.--War is still
going on in Turkey. The Turks, who
crawled on their knees and begged
for mercy at the signing of the ar
mistice, but now flushed with their
apparent defeat of the French and
the English (forces of both these ma
tions have been withdrawn) have re-
sumed their notorious course OF
plunder, murder and rapine in the
Caucasus. Christians are no safer
than they ever were and there is no
power can force the Turks into sub

This, in substance, is the state

Cars OF Seed
Corn To Russia

Mitchell, Feb. 28-Three hundred
carloads of seed corn, purchased
through a Mitchell seed company,
were started this morning on their
way to Russia. This is thought to
be the largest single shipment OF
seed corn ever made. There were
10000 bags, each weighing lao
pounds, in the shipment.
The corn was purchased by the
American relief commission, operat-
ing in Russia, and because the clim-
ate of this section of the country Is
so similar to htat of Russia, the en-
tire selection and testing was left tc
the Mitchell company. Present prices
of seed corn make the value of the
shipment close to $750,000. While
the vast majority of the shipment
was collected in South Dakota. NORTH
Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota alst
helped make up the shipment. Ever,

DIES TRYING To
SAVE CHICKENS
s. ID. WOMAN FOUND DEAD WITH
FOWL CLASPED TO BREAST
AFTER STORM.

Langford, Feb. 28.-Fear for the
safety of her little standard bred
chicks drove Mrs. A. E. Leavitt, ag-
ed 40, out into the binding storm of
Wednesday night and when found
in the morning she was dead with
frozen chicken clasped to her
breast.
Mrs. Leavitt resides on farm
two miles out of Langford. Her hus-
band was away from home attending
to matters of business at Webster
on the day of the storm and after
she had put her little son and daugh-
ter, aged Z and 10 years to bed, and
the hired man had retired, she call
ed the home of friend in Langford
warning them of the severity of the
storm and that they should not go
out into 1t.
1t is believed that she became wor-
ried over the fate of number of her
priced chickens that were housed in
small coop and went out to move
them to the larger chicken house.
In the morning her little daughter
awoke to find the kitchen door to
the farm home open and snow piled
on the kitchen floor. She couldn't
find her mother and called to the
hired man to help her look.
In the yard they found the dead
woman within 800 yards of hel
doorway. She was bundled up tc
buffet the winds with pair of mems
coveralls, high topped overshoes anc
thick woolen cap over her head
but the many hours that she hat
been in the cold and storm penetrat
ed even the warm coverings of hel
body and resulted in her death.
The tracks by which she wa
found led back and forth through
the now drifts and in many places
were found evidences that she hat
fallen many times.
Funeral services were held toda.
and if train service is resumed tn
body will be taken to Wisconsin TO
burial. Langford has been withou
a train since Tuesday night but
has been reported that the train
will be running again by Sunday.
| The deceased woman is survives
by her husband and three children
one a married daughter living ava
| from home, and the two younge
children, who aided in the search TO
