Winter Began
December q

According to the relationship of the
sun to the earth, the shortest day of
the year took place Sunday, during
which time there were only hours
and 81 minutes of sunlight, which if
computed would leave Is hours and
80 minutes of darkness for the night
which followed. After a few days
OF comparative inactiveness during
which time the days will be OF about
the same length, the earth will again
slowly tilt on its axis toward the sun,
and the longer days win again come
to brighten Pine county.

the French, would-be conqueror of the
world.
Founder Fought With Napoleon.
On leaving the church and enter
ing the graveyard one finds the graves
of several of the founders, and again
we encounter the name of Johann
Gaertner on two tombstones. The first
seems to have been erected shortly
after his death and the other, made
of granite, was placed in the ceme-
terry by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. On it one finds that
this soldier was born in 1893 and
died in 1884, at the age of 81 years.
One becomes more interested and
delves deeper into the history of this
man. 1t is found that he fought
with Napoleon at Moscow, Smolensk.
BorodinO, LutZen, Bautzen and Leip-
zig. He was also at Brienne, la
Rothiere, Champaubert, Montereau,
Bas-sur-Aube, Laon and lastly at Lig-
ny and Waterloo where the mighty
Napoleon's collapse as a ruler took
place.
AS far as is known he was of Ger
man descent, born in Westphalia and
also served under the German Kaiser
in which capacity is not definitely
known. 1t seems, however, that he
was a good fighter and a trustworthy
soldier following Napoleon in his his
toric campaign against Russia, dur
ing which he endured the severe hard
ships that only Russian winter can
bring
Rather strange, one thinks, that a
man who had travled so widely and
should come to this isolated spot to
die amid the peaceful majesty of this
| idyllic country.
1t is easy to picture Johann Gaert-
ner sitting in log cabin before a
CHEEKY fireplace with his children and
grandchildren eagerly listening to the
narrative of his adventures, of his
conquests and defeats, of his days
| when on parade he would blaze forth
proudly in all his military splendor.
Perhaps he had the uniform with him
and would don it for them. If he did,
its whereabouts are unknown at the
present time. Perhaps he was buried
in 1.-THE uniform in which he had
served under the wind-blown banners,
the fighting eagles of Bonaparte's
gigantic legions.
With few of the Lilliputians from
"Gulliver's Travels" playing on a
miniature golf course; their miniature
cars parked along the roadway with
the little church forming the back
ground we would, indeed, have a
miniature picture.

HARRISON CH|DES
 PARTY REGULARS
Mississippi Democrat Reads
 Newspaper Article

Washington, Feb. 21 P,-Sonate Old Guard republicans were chidcd today by Senator Harrison, demo- crat, Mississippi, about newspaper article appearing in the Kansas City Star recently which said that Pres ident Hoover actually favored the tariff bill being written in the sen- ate by the coalition of democrats and western republican indepen- dents.
 Senator Harrison took the floor after Senator Grundy, an Old Guard republican of Pennsylvania, had Circularizcd the story from the Kansas City Star among some of his colleagues.
 Prompts Much Discussion
 There was no doubt today that the article had prompted much informal discussion among the republican regular leadership in the senate.
 It was learned by the republicans that the Stars rowing corrcspon- dent" who wrote the story had called upon the president before he wrote the article and there were persistent. but nebulous rumors, that the republican regulars wanted 10 have some word from Mr. Hoover about it.
 Senator Harrison's remarks went unanswered in the senate.
 Senator Harrison in his speech said:
 "Of course one branch Of the re- publican party has attempted to give and create the impression in the country that President Hoover is favorable to the action of the coal rates downward and trying to crcate an equality among all the indus tries in the country.
 "Others have been very energetic in trying to create just the opposite impression, that the president agrees with the old guard, that he is against the slashjng or modification oI any rate reported by the house of representatives in the tariff bill.
 Nation In Confusion
 50, the country has been led 10 confusion as 10 what the true at titude of President Hoover is and has been relative to this bill."
 Senator Watson, of Indiana, the republican leader, later called in the young guard republicans for a luncheon. He said it was just one Of several luncheons he has had with this group during the tariff struggle.
 1t was the young guard which sug- gested at one stage in the tariff de- bate that the rates proposed by the dcmoCratic- republican independent coalition be accepted with a view to hastening disposition of the bill. The young guard, however, insisted that the coalition agree not 10 disturb any existing industrial rates. This offer was rejected by the coalition which has recently been engaged in slash ing some industrial rates in the pres Cnt law.
