For the benefit of those, who think
that Commander Richard E. Byrd and

here that all the popularity is not

Gently Byrd and a few of his men
were attacked by three killer whales
and through the careful maneuvering
of the little open boat, which they
were in, they were able to escape the
horrible death that would have been

hazard of breaking ice stranding some
or all of the party make it a perilous
undertaking.
Although some will say, He can't

nevertheless there are very few, who
are capable of such an attempt. An
undertaking frought with hardships
and exposure with a tremendous eX-

even Commander Byrd, who is especi-
ally fitted for such an undertaking

and their families, with the elements
for company and death stalking theil

WELL DESERVED HONOR

As noted in the news columns of the
American this week a big testimonial
dinner was given in honor of r. P.
Allen, head of the Eastern Minnesota
Power Co. since its organization about
twenty years ago. at Pine City Mon
day evening. This was done because
folks think well of Mr.. Allen, because
he has been business leader and also
a civic leader in our county seat
but perhaps more because he has
played fair with his fellowmen-a man
amongst men-or as the modern term
goes, "a straight shooter"
The company had upwards of hun
dred stockholders, amongst them
dows Their interests were all pro-
tected. large and small. Knowing the
value of stock in the company Mr..
Allen could easily have purchased
many shares at little over the par
value before the company sold out and
thus made more money for himself.
This he did not do but played the
game loyalty with every one of those
who had stuck with him. This is
one of the reasons for the respect
and high esteem in which he is held
and which he so well deserves.
For many years Mr.. Allen has Civ
en- space in his office building to the
public library of the village free of
rent He was at one time a member
of the village council, serving as
mayor. and was for many years a
member Of the board of education.
These civic duties, accepted modestly
and in spirit of service to his COM
munity, all added to his usefulness
and Pine City folks deserve credit for
thus honoring the man and giving
bouquets to the living.

This is the time of the year when

there is going to be some lively COM

The great National game, if con-
Quoted along the lines. which its
founders intended, is an imposing fac

and advertising the town. which each

UNDERSEA CHANNEL TUNNEL

After forty years, the British press
and parliament have taken up the
question whether it is advisable to
build tunnel under the channel to
connect the British Isles with France
The press has been supporting the pro-
position and the House of Commons
in parliament has cast IA votes for it,
Ii against it, and 101 of the members
have remained neutral in a straw
vote recently taken. The House of
Lords voted 81 for the project, 81

press sanctioned it to the extent of

OF course there are some arguments

the perpleXities of modern times,
which this subway would subject the

would probably be a minor defect as
the traffic would largely pay for it.

THE MILD WINTER

So far the citizens of Minnesota
and especially this section have had
a wonderful winter. The roads have
been open for motoring practically
everywhere one has wished to go. AL
though the past few days have seen
a little change in the atmospheric
conditions and snow has come to clog
some of the country roads, we have no
cause to complain. The days are get
ting noticeably longer, the sun is get
ting nearer and soon perhaps, almost
before we shall notice it, the spring
thaw will be upon us. The grass will
add color to our lawns and hillSides
gardens will beckon the attention OF
some. while others will be busy plant
ing their crops. and the summer birds
will be fitting above in the trees and
on the housetops. Will it not be
grand-do we not live in most re-
markable climate and country? Have
we any cause to complain, when ev-
erything is so beautiful?
Although we are troubled at times
and worries brush the smile from ouI
faces, We can take an inventory of oul
surroundings, our homes and Oul
neighbors. and be able once again tt
smile and proclaim all is we'll in this

THE BIG LEAGUES

What will the big leagues do dur
ing the coming season?
Some say there is no use to play
with such two fence busters as Babe
Ruth and Lou Gehrig ably abetted by
the star of the last series, Waite
Hoyte on the mound and others, who
will be holding down places in the
Yankee lineup. We shall see. The
play of last season and the present
winter have given the opposing clubs
in the American league chance to
trade and strengthen their defense
Take it all in all and judging from
the way the Athletics came up from
the rear in the last stampede for the
pennant, there will be some lively
times in the big league circles during
the coming season.
The Babe" and big Lou may have
an off year or something, and that
little something will be disastrous to
the Yankees, considering the strength
of the competition in the opposing big
league trenches.
Although Lou Gehrig is just in his
prime and can be expected to carry
on to accomplish even greater things
with his bat, it is hardly probable
that Babe Ruth can be as effective
