When the bus came to a stop at the

82-Year-Old Grandma Halverson,
Has Marrow Escape From
Freezing Sunday

Grandma, Halverson, the 82-
year-old mother of Mrs. Andrew
Tanberg, of Osakis, narrowly es-
capped death from freezing last
Sunday evening when she left the
Tanberg home about 9 o'clock for
an out building and in attempting
to return~to the house only a short
distance away, evidently fell down
and becoming confused crawled in
the opposite direction on her
hands and knees. She was missed
almost Immediately and Mr.. Tan
berg went out in search for her !.
After an unsuccessful search he
called the neighbors who joined in
and later the fire whistle was
sounded and nearly hundred citi-
zens responded and joined in the
search.
After being out fully an hour in
the zero temperature, the old lady
was found in the back yard of the
H. E. Tobey home nearly two
blocks away, by Verne Fry and
Mr.. Tanberg who followed tracks
leading from her home. Her face
and hands were bruised and bleed
ing from having been cut in brush
and on a barb wire fence and her
arms were badly chilled. Despite
her serious injuries and advanced
years the attending physician re-
ports her condition satisfactory and
the old lady is expected to fully
recover. Had she been out in the
cold a few minutes longer it is
thought she would have persisted,
as she had worn no outside wraps
other than a thin shawl over her
head which she had lost.
Mr.. Tanberg and family greatly
appreciate the prompt response Civ
en- to the call for aid by our citi-
zens and want to thank all who
turned out to help in the search

Butter Slightly Higher
on the Eastern Market
Decided Increase in Egg Receipts
Force Prices Down-Poultry
Prices a Little Lower

A review of eastern butter mar
kets, Chicago and New York, dur
ing the past week, shows that the
tendency has been slightly up
ward. The supply of butter for
current consumption was some
what heavier from Monday to
Friday last week compared with
same period a week previous, but
buying was active resulting in a
turn in the situation. and slightly
higher prices. The future of the
market will depend largely upon
the rapidity with which seasonal
production increases and also on
the cleaning up Of storage hold
ings.
Government reports as issued by
the u. S. department of agricul-
ture showing cold storage holdings
in the twenty-six largest cities in
the country indicate that storage
butter supplies are being decreas-
ed from week to week, but as yet,
the surplus is heavy as compared
with year ago. For example: Feb.
18, 1928, there were in storage
Is, 582,493 pounds as against 3d.
286,521 pounds on February 10,
1927.
Production of fresh eggs is in
creasing and correspondingly, re-
ceipts on consuming markets are
heavier. In Chicago, Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, Monday to
Friday inclusive, there were re-
ceiyed 309,792 cases, compared
with 239,041 cases same period
last week. Egg consumption has
continued fair, but with increasing
receipts, the price has worked
down.
Chicago market on Firsts today
is 26 Ia to 26 ga cents. The
quotation a week ago today was
