ice water, Brown recounted in
hating phrases his story of the
drifting skiff, the seemingly endless
wind, snow and cold and the de-
spair that followed the death of
Cunningham.
I'VE kidded ourselves that help
would come. Cunningham said
nothing before he died +. Claude
was worried then. He talked
about his family-his wife, the
daughter who married me and
his Other son and daughter. /.
Then he died and I was all alone
on the ice.''
Amputaticn Is Likely
AS physicians ministered to
Brown in Charlevoix Hospital, six
Coast Guardsmen inched cautious
ly out on the ice. They stepped
from the shore near Goodhart al
most at the point where Brown had
stumbled in.
Through binding snow storm
they made their way due west. Eight
miles out-unless the ice had car
ried them away-they expected to
find the tarpaulin- covered body OF
Beardsley on the ice and that OF
their fellow guardsman in the boat
DR.. r. B. Armstrong, Charlevoix
physician, said he believed that the
will to live that had carried Brown
to safety would save his life. He
saw no chance of saving his black
ened legs, and indicated they would
have to be amputated in several
days.
Browns wife and 2-year-old
daughter, Patricia Ann. visited him
for few moments in the hospital.
His other daughter Shirley, 4 months
old, was at home.
Il thought about my wife and
kids" Brown said fitfully before he
fell asleep. That was all that kept
me going"

WPA WORKERS
AID COURTS IN
DIVORCE CASES
Women Check Welfare of
Children Involved for
Four Judges.

Welfare of Marion County chil-
dren whose parents are divorced
and who have become wards of the
courts is being investigated by eight
women employed on WPA project
and working under the supervision
of four Judges.
The women now are working in
three OF the Superior courts and
Circuit Court. In most of the courts
they check into the children's con-
ditions after a divorce has been
granted, but in Superior Judge Will
liam A. Pickens' court they invests
gate before separation hearings.
All four judges praise the work
of the investigators.
These women have accomplished
remarkable results" Superior Judge
Joseph T. Marley said. In one in
stance they brought in a man who
was failing to provide for his two
children, and I sent him to Jail over
night. Since then he has men6ed
his ways and sends them money
each week"
Information Aids Judges
Another case they investigated
was of a man with IL children who
was attempting to obtain divorce.
AS a result we found that the di-
vorce should be granted his wife"
Armed with information from the
court, the women determine which
parent should have custody of the
children, what the moral character
of that parent is, and the home
surroundings. They also check
availability of public schools and
the finances of the parent request
ing custody.
According to Judge Pickens, this
information assists in handing down
the proper decision.
Two women on the same project
are compiling statistics in Criminal
Court from all disposeo-of cases.

DERSONS fearful for the future
Il of craftsmanship in the Ma
chine Age can take heart from
the collection of Lalique glass on
exhibition at Charles Mayer & Co.
this week.
Even Benvenuto Cellini would
have rubbed his eyes. AS an
artist, he would have recognized
a kindred spirit. AS craftsman,
he would have relished Laliques
way of making unruly materials
behave. Cellini, to be sure,
stopped short of casting LIQUID
glass. He stayed with the problem
of casting "Perseus" in bronze.
At that, it was trouble enough.
Rene Lalique, too, has his
troubles. To achieve THE Cruel
f1Xlon," an amazing performance
around which the crowd at May
er's fingers longest, he had to make
no less than % molds without the
least assurance that any of them
would yield their objects intact
and unbroken.

~ ing of his design, projects it

Court in the present building years
ago.
Pierce and Joseph, both escaped
CoIlVlCCS from the INDIANA State
Prison, made no comment as they
sat in court accused of frst-de
gree murder. Pierce, who is said
to have signed a confession of the
shooting, came into the courtroom
with a sardonic smile and OCCASION
ally appeared jovial.
Judge Van Duyn seemed anxious
for the trial to get under way.
The first indication of a probable
defense was shown when Mr.. Whet-
sell mentioned the confession Pierce
is said to have signed shortly after
being captured by State Police near
Milford. Pierce was caught at the
home of Silverton Headlee, AZ, an
other escaped convict.

URGES BAKERS
STUDY MARKET
State President Reused by
Stagnant Profits With
Increased Sales.

Because bakery profits are at a
standstill with business nationally
81 per cent higher in 1885 than in
1884, Jake Hoerhammer of Terre
Haute, president of the Indiana
Bakers Association, suggested that
Indiana bakers survey their markets
to seek a remedy.
He said improper operation and
failure to realize the possibilities of
the marketing field caused the dis
crepancy.
Mr.. Hoerhammer said that pros
poets for 1886 are bright.
The sessions and trade exhibits
are to continue through tomorrow
at the Claypool.
Efficiency in government as well
as in business is being demanded
John M. Hartley, Chicago, Asso-
ciated Bakers of America secretary
declared at the convention.
Touches on Tax Problem
Denying that it is a question oil
which political party is in power, Mr.
Hartley insisted that while we are
still in a peculiar period of transi-
ton, one thing is certain we shall
have to pay and the big problem i;
to see Chat taxes are justly appor-
toned" He predicted, therefore
that business men of all types will
take greater interest in what here
tofore has been known as politics,
seeking efficiency in government.
Bakers, the producers of bread,
are extraordinarily close to the
people, necessarily being strongly
affected by the state of general well
fare" he pointed out.

In the first three minutes of play,
Albany won the opening game of
the season Friday afternoon. That
tells the story, however brief, of
the contest Friday that blasted the
opening of the Sank Centre football
season. Albany squirting in the OPP
ening play raced around our unsus-
pecting ends for the goal, and the
locals scored in the final quarter
after a sustained march of over
half the field. The final score stood
at to 6.
Harvey and Co. kicked off to the
Albany eleven. Those lads rested
the ball on their own thirty yard
line. Sizing up the situation they
pulled an end run around our own
left, and charging wide caught the
secondary defense with not enough
time to stop them. Within a yard of
the sideline Glatzmeier raced to
cross the local goal A line of
sprawling would-be tacklers sprink-
led the field in his wake.

wormed their way up the field to
finally cross the goal with short
end around run. Their try for point
with the same play failed to con-

Following the initial kickoff and

Drive Oct. 9th
Captain Lein, of st. Cloud Will
Head Workers-Will Take
Almost A Week

Because their drives have been
confused with those of other Or
CARNATIONS, the Salvation Army
made official announcement of it's
Sank Centre annual drive this
week. The announcement came
from Captain William Lem, of the
st. Cloud Post, who stated that the
workers would come to this city on
Tuesday, October 9Th, and remain
with their work perhaps for the
greater part Of the week. The
group will come from the st. Cloud
Post and the drive is under the
personal leadership Of Mr.. Lein.
It is not their intention, said Mr..
Lem, to attempt to cut down dona-
tions to other organizations doing
similar work. But he continued that
often the confusion led people to
believe that money they gave went
to the Army when such was not the
case. Thus the work expected of
them in these communities has
been retarded by lack of funds.

Amendment Meeting
Representatives of Various Town
ships Plan Organization To
Favor Amendment

John M. Miller, Of Ashley Town
ship attended a meeting for dis
cussion Of Amendment No. 2, in
st. Cloud Saturday afternoon.
About fifty farmers representing
the various townships of Stearns
County were in attendance, and
Mr.. Miller says that all expressed
themselves as in favor Of the
amendment.
Edward Murphy, state chairman
of the Minnesota Tax Association,
was the speaker, and he outlined
the proposed amendment, to Article
9, Section 1, of the Constitution of
the State of Minnesota which is as
follows:
Provided further, that after
January 1, 1887, no tax shall be
imposed on any real or tango
BILE personal property for any
state purpose, except that au-
thorized by Section 16, Of Arti-
Gle 8, of this constitution, and
or for the payment of in
debtedness of the state, incur
red prior to January /, 1887;
but this proviso shall not limit
but the state shall have, the
right to impose taxes on royal
ties, occupations, sales, re-
ceipts, incomes, inheritances,
gifts, privileges, franchises, or
licenses, or upon property on
the basis Of gross earnings or
tonnage, or upon intangibles of
every kind"
Mr.. Miller reported to the Herald
that in outlining the purpose of
Amendment No. 2, which the elect
crate will vote upon in the General
Election November 8, Mr.. Murphy
brought out the following:
'"The tax burden on property in
Minnesota is four times that of a
quarter of century ago. In the
agricultural sections of Minnesota,
the state tax constitutes, on the
average, nearly fourth of the
taxes now paid on farms. The
state tax rate has increased from
four mills 20 years ago to 1857
mills. It will increase to more than
% mills when Minnesota begins to
pay its debts, meet its deficits, and
pay for obligations to which it is
already committed.
