Here is another question in line with
some of our safe driving habits, or
should I say careless or thoughtless
habits?
In approaching stop" sign posted
at a boulevard or through street, may
the driver just slow up instead OF &C
tually stopping his car?
Here is the correct answer: NO. A
driver must stop a ndm kaecattuan
driver must stop and make certain that
there are no cars approaching the in
tersection before he proceeds again.
Drivers on through street expect cars
to stop at stop" sign intersections.
No doubt you will say, why everyone
knows that!" But how many persons
follow it?
That's the rule. That is the court
eous thing to do. Many drivers ap-
proach these "stop" signs at a fast rate
of speed to give the drivers on through
streets a thrill. This is not only very
discourteous, it is very dangerous, be-
cause sometimes they overstep the line
and cause the driver on the through
street to lose control of his car, and
an accident results.
Approach through streets slowly and
"Stop."

Oyster SteU Cost $50.

Sleepy Eye-John Henle of New Ulm
had an expensive oyster stew one even
ing recently. He doesn't know exactly
how much it cost him, but he estimates
it was between $3.50 and $4,000. While
eating oysters he found peral about
the size of pea, but the stewing des-
troyed it's luster, making it worthless
except as a souvenir. According to a
jeweler it would have been worth be-
tween $3.50 and $4,000 depending on the
buyer. Pearls have no set value. How
ever, if a wealthy person is looking for
one to match one which he has in his
possession, prices as high as $4,000 have
been paid.

LOUer La Sale Lake
Is Deepest in State.

Lower La Sale lake, seven miles north
of Itasca state park, which measures
2l5 feet, is the deepest lake yet found
in Minnesota, according to division
of the game and fish survey that has
covered over 1000 lakes in the state
searching for the deep ones.
Loon lake on the Gunflint trail
measures 208 feet in depth. Big Sag
anaga on the Canadian side has depth
of 240 feet.
The lakes already surveyed have been
mapped as to contour, depth, kind OF
bottom, and vegetation growths. The
work is part of the statewide survey
and classification of lakes that is being
carried on by the division of game and
fish of the conservation department, In
cooperation with the University OF
Minnesota and various federal agencies
to determine scientific basis for fish
propagation and distribution. DR.
Samuel Eddy of the university is ir
charge of the work.
Results of the survey show that there
are seven different types of lakes ir
the state, which are classified according
to the species of fish life for which they
are best suited. Lakes studied are class
flied as trout lakes, bass-crappie lakes
pike-bass lakes, two types of pike lakes
and river-lakes. The river-lakes con
tain both rough and game fish ant
have more kinds of fish than any othe.
type of water in the state.
with this scientific basis for plant
ing fish where they will thrive, and al
increase in the Matching facilities t.
nearly one and one-half billion fisl
annually, we are determined to brin,
back an abundant supply of fish t

Commissioner Herman c. Wenzel.

capped the state treasury.
During the year, according to the
patrol chiefs records, the patrolmer

TIUO Ladies Get
Each Others Coats.

Glencoe-The whole trouble started
when two ladies wearing new blue coats
with similar fur colors came into a
local restaurant within few minutes
of each other and hung their coats up.
One of the ladies and her escort left
and the other lady was about to do the
same a few minutes later when, on
putting on what she thought was her
coat it unquestionably fit her too
snugly. While she was insisting that
she "knew her own coat" and that the
one she had on was not hers, the other
lady returned also satisfied that the
coat she had on did not belong to her.
She and her escort had returned con-
WINGED that somebody had taken her
coat and upon reaching the restaurant
the exchange was made after COMPARE
son and explanations took place.

Cat and Boy Ruin Coats;
Cat Caught in Upper,

Fergus Falls-Lynn Connolly Of
Campbell ruined a new upper jacket
and his pet cat lost hunk of hair one
day recently. 1t seems that Lynn, while
holding the cat in his arms, decided it
would be fun to put it inside his new
jacket which he was wearing. The Zip
per in the jacket caught in the cats
skin; the cat began to scratch and yowl
in pain which in turn caused Lynn to
yell for help. After several unsucceSs-
full attempts to loosen the upper his
father had to cut the jacket down the
front, which relieved the whole stu
alton.

OUI Plays Santa Claus.

Boyd-There are times when it's just
terribly hard to believe your own eyes"
Herbert Olson had this experience at
his lumber Office one morning recently.
Opening the door of the stove to kindle
fire, something glared at him and
moved. Believe it or not, Herb closed
the door with a bang and pondered,
With supreme courage he opened the
door a second time, looked and was
convinced. 1t was fair sized live owl,
which had Santa Claused into the
chimney and to the stove. Liberated,
the owl was soon on its way in the
great outdoors.

Final Bulletin on Serum
Treatment for Pneumonia.

The modern serum treatment for
pneumonia Is the subject of the final
bulletin Of the January pneumonia CAM
paign of the Minnesota State Medical
Association issued by the committee on
public health education today.
This treatment is not effective for
every case of pneumonia; but the per-
centage for which it affords immediate
and striking relief is so great that
sputum should be examined in every
case, in the opinion of the doctors, to
see if the treatment can be used.
There are some 80 types of the pneu-
mococcus germ, cause of most pneu-
monias, according to the bulletin. Sep
arate serums have been developed for
five of these and fortunately a large
number of cases fall into these five
types. The serums are made by in
jecting the germs into horses first, in
small doses and later in large amounts.
The horses become immunized and i'm
mune substances called "antibodies"
appear in high concentration in the
serum refined from Withdrawals o.
blood. These antibodies have remark
able effect upon the germs in the
human body. They attack the capsules

The Feast Of Fools

The Feast Of Fools was a bur-

Roman Saturnalia, and observed on
or about the Feast of the Circunn-

role of bishop conducted the cere-
monies, which degenerated into
travesty of the sacred rites of the
church.

TOY WIFE

Luise Rainer, MelvYn Douglas, Robert Young
 Star in Picture Here

Luise Rainer. only star ever to be accorded two Academy awards, proves her unqualified right to the honor with another character gem as outstanding as her Anna Held in The Great ziegfeld" and her "O-Lan" in The Good Earth.
 Her "Froufrou' Brigard in "The Toy Wife, which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, adds a delinea- tion which may well nominate her for the third time and create still another precedent. By turn the friv- olous, light-hearted girl, the equally irresponsible wife, and the broken, tragic figure which her own folly makes her, she draws a masterful and truly moving picture which any other actress of the year will be hard pressed to match.
 In the masculine leads Melvyn Douglas and Robert Young live up to the high standard set by the pictures star. Douglas as Miss Rainer's husband who is loved by his wife's sister is at all times ef- fective. while Robert Young is dash ing and romantic as the young gam bier with whom Miss Rainer fin ally runs away.
