DROWNED SEPT. A
Second Youngest Son OF
MIR. and Mrs. Philip
Schaub
BODY ARRIVED MONDAY
Was in Bathing at Coney
Island, New York Sun
day Morning

The entire community received
a severe shock Friday of last week
when the depressing news spread
about the city telling of the unex-
pected death of one of Sank Cen
tres well known young men, Da-
vid Schaub, second youngest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Schaub.
The deceased was drowned while
in bathing at Coney Island, New
York City, Sept. A, 1927. David

day morning, stating to his land
lady that he intended to go to the
beach to take a bath before church
services. He was not missed
throughout the day, but when he
did not arise at the usual time
Monday morning the lady of the
house became alarmed aqd start
ed investigating. She went to his
room and called but there was no
answer. "A little later entrance
was gained to his room, which dis
closed the fact that he had not been
there since his departure the
morning previous. The bed cloth
ing had been untouched and no
signs of occupancy Were to be
noted.
The authorities Were notified and
a search was started. When in
formed that he planned on going
in bathing at Coney Island Sun.
day morning, the officials accepted
that as a substantial clue and di-
rected their search at the beach.
When his clothes were found in
the locker where he had left them,
the supposition was obvious that
he had been drowned. The body
was found Thursday after having
laid in the water for four days.
1t was identified by the lady of
the house as being that Of MIR.
Schaub. The remains were very
much decomposed owing to the
conditions, and undertakers of
New York City worked over them
several days preparing them for
shipment to Sank Centre for bur-
ial. The remains arrived in Sank
Centre Monday evening on the
Great Northern train No. 7. Geo.
Berggreen, who had been notified,
by long distance telephone from
Newark, N. j., of shipment and
conditions took charge of the
body upon its arrival, and con-
veyed it to the Funeral Service
parlors.
David Samuel Schaub was born
at Alden, Iowa, Sept. 16, 1896 be-
ing at the time of death, 80 years,
II months, 20 days old. He spent

Pillsbury Dance Pavilion
Struck by Lightning
Structure Completely DESTROYED
By Fire-Loss $4,000, Insur-
ance-Cottage Saved

Lightning between 8 and A
o'clock Friday morning of last
week set fire to the dancing pa
vilion at Pillsbury and the struc-
ture burned to the ground. The
loss was estimated by John Stro-
man, owner of the building at &c.

No other fire damage was report
ed from that vicinity.
Fire was discovered in the build
ing about a o'clock and as there is
no fire protection there the build
ing was totally DESTROYED. A
telephone call was sent to Swan
vile for men to save nearby build
ings. A number of residents from
Swanville motored over.
One shed near the builiing own
ed by O. A. Krousey of Swanville
was slightly damaged by fire. 1t
was raining at the time of the fire
which perhaps saved many of the
cottages standing near the pavil-
ion.

Increased Freight Rates
Make Dairymen Thousands
Minnesota Creamery Operators and
Managers Association Are
Putting Up Hard Fight

An increase in freight rates on
dairy and poultry products, which,
if granted, will cost the producers
of the state of Minnesota many
thousands of dollars annually, has
been asked by the carriers in pc
titions placed before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, ac-
cording to the Minnesota Creamery
Operators and Managers Asso-
citation.
That association has entered a
protest against the proposal and
has joined with other dairy and
poultry organizations in filing
counterclaims for reduction from
the present rates.
The officials of the Minnesota
Creamery Operators and Manag-
ers' Association have announced
that a representative of the asso-
citation will be present at the hear
ing of the case which will be held
in Chicago during the latter part
of September and will assist in the
attempt to secure lower rates for
Minnesota's greatest industry and
thereby effect an enormous saw
ing for the farmers of that State.
The association is also expend-
ing every effort to Illustrate a plan
to raise the minimum carload
weight from 10000 pounds to
$4,000 pounds. This, the associa-
ton believes, will work hard
ship upon the small local cream
cries and will give the larger ship
pers of butter an unfair advantage
over the small local organizations
which join with other shippers in
order to make CARROTS

Pick Seed Corn Before
Frost, Is Arny's Warning
Crops Specialist Declares Imma-
ture Ears Can Be Used If Alb
solutely Necessary

Corn is so late this year that the
matter of seed supplies for the
1928 crop deserves serious consid-
Grafton, according to advices from
University Farm. The best fields
are week to ten days behind the
schedule; the rest are two to three
weeks late.
In this emergency it is important
to know that corn even in the
roasting ear stage, when most of
the kernels are still in the milk,
has produced seed averaging 85
to go per cent of termination. OF
course corn in the dough or dent
stages makes better seed, but if
properly handled even more i'm
mature corn will furnish ample
seed stocks. The most certain
way to have an adequate supply of
seed for planting next spring is
to save enough ears before freez-
ing weather.
"Watch the weather" is the in
junction Of A. C. Army, who is in
charge of the field crops section
of the University of Minnesota. eff
it looks as though frost would oc-
cur" he says, "take in enough
ears to provide what is needed.
More ears with better developed
kernels can be brought in later if
good weather prevails.
"But the saving of seed ears is
Of no use unless they are cared
for properly, Some heat is needed
to dry immature corn, particularly
when it is first brought in from the
field. The heat need not be great
er than SO to 20 degrees or room
temperature. The room or the loft
over the kitchen where there is a
door or other opening is good
place to dry seed corn. The ears
should be hung or laid on racks so
they will not touch to permit Of
free circulation of air. The mois-
ture content of the corn should be
under Ia per cent before it is
stored in any room where it win
be subjected to freezing.

MIDWEST TO GET z
MORE DAYSOF HEAT
Relief Is Not Yet in Sight,
Says Government Expert
at Chicago
EIGHT DEAD In CHICAGO
Mercury Hits 100 in Texas
and 80 Above in Other
Midwest Cities

Chicago, Sept. 14.-The mid
west looked in vain today for re
lief from the three day heat wave
which the weather bureau has pre-
dicued will continue through
Thursday.
Reports of many deaths and of
rising temperatures which are
making this month the hottest Sep
TENDER in weather bureau history,
came from all parts of the west
central states. Only four cities re-
ported their temperature as being
80 degrees.
Eight deaths were reported here,
where the mercury touched 95
degrees equalling the all-time re-
cord for September established in
1900. The reading was 80 de-
grees at 1 o'clock last night and
beaches were thronged until after
nightfall.
Many Illinois, Indiana and Mis-
souri, schools were closed due to
the intense heat.
lAbiline, Texas, was the hottest
spot in the United States yester-
day, tn mercury rising to an even
100 degrees.
st. Louis and Nashville suffered
under SO degree heat.
Federal weather bureau reports
forecast rain for the western edges
of the great plains tomorrow
night, but this relief is not ex-
pected to alleviate suffering in
the lower region of the Great
Lakes before Friday.
Henry j. Cox, government met
eorologist here said the excessive
and unreasonable heat is due to a
stagnated condition of atmosphere
over the central valleys-an area
from the Rockies almost to the At
lantic.
The wave of heat, however, has
brought jubilation to farmers and
bankers of the midwest, because
of its value to the ripening corn
crop.
"But, if they could see what
see," Professor Cox said, "they
would be praying for rain. I see
at least three more days of this
heat and no relief in sight"

Reu. r. A. Crickmer
Hurt While Aiding
Injured Family Pet

Rev. r. A. Crickmer is en-
joying CD an enforced va
cation, the first in 35 years,
as the result of an accident,
which happened in a peculiar
manner last Friday evening
at about six o'clock. Dogs
are to blame for many things,
and yet, among all animals
the dog is mans best and most
faithful friend, a fact our
good friend, the Rector of
the Good Samaritan church of
this city, will not deny, even
though he is carrying his left
arm in a sling as a result of
giving aid to his injured dog.
1t seems that a truck, driving
past the Episcopal parish hit
the dog, owned by the Crick-
mer boys. The yelping of the
animal in injury caused an
other dog to pounce upon him
and show fight, which even
among good members of the
canine tribe shows poor
sportsmanship. The Reverend
seeing this and wishing to aid
the injured friend ran to the
house for a broom. A wood
en- sidewalk at the rear of his
home, owing to- the damp
weather, was rather slippery,
and in his hurry to assist
the stricken animal he slip
ped and suffered a broken
wrist. The Reverend has the
sympathy of the entire COM
munity and although he is
getting a well earned vaca-
ton, we would rather see him
enjoy it without pain.

'TORRID WEATHER
FINE FOR CORN
Experts Are Predicting IS
Per Cent Of Normal Yield
for Minnesota
CROP IS COMING FAST
Unmatured Corn VIII Make
Fine Food for Dairy
Herds of State

"Prodded along by continued
hot weather, corn, which had a
discouraging outlook less than
two weeks ago is making rapid adj
vances toward maturity and indi-
cations now are that Minnesota
will have approximately SO to 65
per cent of matured crop of this
grain, says the agricultural ex-
pert of the Minneapolis Tribune.
Agricultural experts are agreed
that corn is coming fast" and
that the outlook is more favorable
than it was in August. It was
also pointed out that the state can
not expect a normal crop, but that
with the continued favorable
warm weather, the crop can be ex-
pected to run as high as .65 per
cent of a normal return.
Several factors, however, enter
into the maturing of corn, which
cannot be overcome at this time,
according to j. F. Reed, president
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, who said that the short
ened days will not permit the ma
turity of this grain as rapidly as
would have been the case a month
or more ago.
"Corn is coming fast, and al
though the crop does not ripen as
fast as earlier in the season, the
returns are more promising than
they were a month ago." Mr.. Reed
said. "We cannot expect Ia normal
crop this year, but with 10 days
more of favorable hot weather, we
will have about 65 per cent matur-
ed crop in the southern section of
the state" ...
1t was pointed out that the heavy
rains were not general over the
southern sections of the state and
that as a result these districts ex-
perienced hot, dry weather which
is the most favorable for maturing
of this crop.
Even though the matured crop
will be less than normal it does
not follow that the entire crop will
be failure. Unmatured crops, it
was pointed out, will be used as
fodder and silage, and will be a
factor in feeding the large dairy
herds in the southern section of the
stete.
A great deal of the corn
throughout the southern sections
is already in dent, and in some
places is ready for garnering. This,
however, is not general, and is
confined to local districts.
Every day of hot, dry weather
is adding to the favorite conditions
and county agents are optimistic
over the result.
Many communities report. that
with continued favorable weather
and the holding off of frost the dis
trict will obtain a NEARLY average"
return, while many reports that
the prospects are for normal"
crop. However, this is not general,
and does not apply to the corn crop
of the state.
Frost, it was reported, has done
about a 20 per cent damage
throughout the state. This dam
age, however, was for the most
part in the northern half of the
state, and was not confined to the
corn growing districts in southern
Minnesota, although there was
some frost in that part of the state.
