Awful Blow to Critics
Of Intelligence
on Grid

It must be disappointing to
critics of football when a high
class player also happens to be
a high-class student.
At Dartmouth they elected
Cy Aschenbach captain, and it
now comes to light that he is
so smart he expects to be grad
uated in June after only three
years of study. And still they
say it doesn't require intelli-
gence to play football.

THOUSAND KIDS ATTEND GUILD
CHRISTMAS TREE

The Christmas tree program given
for the kiddies of Little Falls Tuesday
evening at the Harwha theatre, by the
Woman's Guild, was the most success
full ever held since that plan Of max
ing the children merry at Yuletide was
inaugurated by the Guild. The thea
tre was packed with children Of all
ages and nearly a thousand bags Of
candy and apples were distributed to
them by Santa Claus.
A. brief Christmas program was Civ.
en- and the children sang Christmas
hymns. A Christmas tree lighted with
vari-colored electric lights and pretty
decorations, occupied the center Of the
stage.
Mrs. A. Simonet led in the singing
and Mrs. Herman Tanner presided at
the piano. A talk was given by Mrs.
G. M. A. Fortier. Asa Curtis was,
Santa Claus.
Credit for the success of the enter
tainment is due Mrs. R. B. Millard and
Mrs. Gertrude Bentfeld, who had
charge of the arrangements.

VERY LITTLE HARD COAL u
LITTLE FALLS

Little Falls is threatened with a
hard coal famine this winter, accord
ing to local dealers: Some of the deal
ers here have no anthracite coal what
ever of the nut size and others have
but limited supplies. With navigation
closed on the Great Lakes they are
rather pessimistic about the possibility
of getting any more hard coal this
winter. They have a fair supply of
stove coal on hand, however, and
those having base burners will likely
have to use that size, although it is not
as desirable for self feeders.

.LECEL AZURE ACTION /
TO GAGE ROAD WORK
OFFICIAL ASSERTS PROPOSALS
WILL BENEFIT EVERY SEC
TON or TRUNK SYSTEM

. Improvements during 1928 and 1924
on all state trunk highways so-called
Babcock roads-will depend largely up
on the next legislature on recon-
mendations by the state highway de-
part1nent for first issues of state trunk
highway bonds.
Presenting the important fact, John
H. Mullen, assistant commissioner and
chief highway engineer, said that only
by issuing bonds can the state make
greatly needed improvements; stop
waste of funds for maintenance; give
immediate benefits in proportion to
funds used; speed up the highway pro-
gram to keep among the good roads
states.
"The hi ghway bond proposals are
for the advantage of all parts of the
state,'' said Mr.. Mullen. "They will
provide not only for permanent i'm
provements on heavy traffic routes
but equally for far more extensive
grading and graveling work covering
big mileages of light-traffic sections.
Otherwise the latter class of work
must wait under the policy of using
funds to best serve the largest num-
bers of highway users.
"There is no magic in road build
ing,' said Mr.. Mullen. Reasonable
amount must be forthcoming to carry
on the necessary work. Results thus
far have come from low prices, econo.
mical administration and so forth, but
have been governed primarily by the
funds available. The. highway depart
ment is recommending highway bond
issues because they fit into the gener-
a. scheme and will insurance greater
fairness and satisfaction.
Mr.. Mullen predicted that the public
through its senator's and representa-
tives will put through the legislative
and that far-reaching results
will follow to prove the wisdom of
such favorable action. ~

BLAZE DAMAGES !.
=. 4 KlEWEL BLOCK
FIRE BASEMENT OF CONNER
CIAL STATE BANK NIPPED,
AVOIDING BIG LOSS

The Commercial State bank, Little
Falls Water Power Company office and
household goods of several families oc-
cupying flats in the Kiewel block ON
Broadway east suffered considerable
smoke damage as the result of fire
early yesterday morning in the base
ment under the bank.
AS near as can be learned the fire
started in box of waste paper in the
basement of the Commercial State
bank, but the cause of the blaze is un-
known. The fire was discovered stimuli
taneously by an operator at the tele-
phone exchange and by Mrs. Kate
Wright, who occupies one Of the flats.
The telephone operator was warned
when the insulation on the telephone
wires in the basement burned off, thus
causing the operation of the flash sig:
nal on the telephone switchboard. An
swering the signal tue operator failed
to get reply and suspecting that
something was wrong she notified the
night patro!man. In the meantime
Mrs. Wright was awakened by the
presence Of smoke and she called
William Batters, fire chief, who occu-
pies fat in the same building. This
was at about lis a. m., The fire
truck crew responded Immediately and
although the fire had a good start and
it was difficult to get at the blaze,
they did splendid work and had it ex-
tinguished in a comparatively short
time.
The floor beams were burned quite
badly and some fixtures stored in the
basement were practically a total loss.
The blaze was confined to the base.
ment and aside from that the damage
in the building proper was limited to
smoke.
Sam Roberts, one of the firemen,
sustained a bad cut on one hand from
a piece of glass when he broke the
glass in the front door of the Water
Power Company office. A piece of
glass dropped down and struck the
knuckles of the hand.

DELECTO ICE CREAM CT
BUSINESS SOLD.
TO KIEWEL OoAdPANY-S SYLvEs-
I. TER-NICHoIs COMPANY WILL, =
i INCREASE CANDY OUTPUT

Delecto ice cream and dairy products
are no longer on.the market, as the re-
suit of deal just closed whereby the
Kiewel Associated Products Company
Of this city purchased the ice cream
manufacturing equipment, business and
good will from the Sylvester Nichols
Company. The new owners have al
ready taken over the business and the
equipment has been moved to their
plant on Seventh street northeast.
Simultaneous with the sale of it's ice
cream business and equipment the
Sylvester-Nichols Company discontin-
ued the butter manufacturing and
dairy products business and the cream
cry and pasteurizing equipment is now
for sale. :
For the time being the change at the
Sylvester-Nichols factory necessitates
reduction of the force there but the
company will commence at once to in
crease the capacity of the candy manu-
featuring plant so that in time they
will employ at least five people more
than they did before selling the ice
cream business.
The room in the Sylvester-Nichols
factory that was occupied by the ice
cream and dairy products machinery
will be taken up for additional candy
manufacturing equipment. Just what
improvements will be made depends on
business conditions but it is the in
tention Of the company to get addi-
tional machinery so as to permit man.
ufacture of candies on much larger
scale, thus enabling them to sell to
iobbers as we'll as to dealers. Accord
ing to the owners the field of candy
manufacturing as far as sale TO- the
iobbers is concerned is as large for
them as for any other candy manufac-
turing concern, being practically unlim-
tied. On the other hand in the ice
cream business the field is limited and
there is no room for two factories in
Little Falls. Shipping costs have in
creased to such an extent thnt as a
result there is an ice cream factory in
nearly every town Of any size.
At present the : Sylvester Nichols
company manufactures bulk chocolates,
high grade package candies; candy
bars; hard candies and a few penny
goods. A good deal of the work is
now done by hand but the company
will put in q, chocolate dipping ma
chine, cutting machine for caramels,
etc., drop frame machine for lemon
drops, etc., and others. For some time
the company has done a good deal Of
jobbing and it is not their intention
to entirely discontinue this but the aim
will be to greatly increase the output
of the. manufacturing plant so as to be-
able to compete with other large candy
factories in the Northwest.
The purchase of the Sylvester-Nich-
OILS ice cream plant by the Kiewel AS.
sociated Products Company gives that
concern one Of the biggest plants of
it's kind in the state. The Kiewel COM
pany also does jobbing in candies, ETC.,
and they expect to handle the Sylves-
terzNichols line when that concern goes
on manufacturing basis
