1000 TONS OF ICE PUT
UP in FIVE DAYS
Crop Is rs To 26 Inches
Thick This Year-Sixteen
Men Employed On Work

Sauk Lake, that laps the feet of
this town by summer, had its win
ter coat disturbed, yielding UP tons
of preservative for next summers
use, as workmen finished by all
odds the cclcest job in town
The ice coat was Is to 26 inches
thick this year, it was explained by
H. F. Bastien this week as he point
ed out that the ice is OF except
ionally good quality"
Aided by power equipment that
whined its way through the blocks
and endless chain hoisting the
cakes to the shed, sixteen worlxmen
took care of some 1000 tons Of ice
In a period CT about five days, Mr..
Bastien said.
"The week Of sustained cold"
he said, really made the ice thick
this year." The depth Of the ice
comedies completely with weather
records that show a total of 20 sub
zero days in January, the ccidest
January with the exception Of 1886
and 81 in many years. Oddly in
the ice situation this year was
pointed out that this winter marked
the latest freezeup in many years
when mild weather continued deep
into December.

champion, Lieut.. Paul Codos. and
Capt. Henry Guillaumet have made

ploit. Photographs published in the
Paris press showed the plane on its

Brazilian military official.
The plane used was a specially
constructed alright, bi-motored ship
for high altitude work, named after
the French astronomer, Camille
Flammarion. Paul Comet, naviga-
tor. and Jacques Neri. radio officer.
completed the crew on the Brazilian
flight.
The 24-ton Camille Flammarion

FORMER SAUK CENTRE
STUDENT ON LUZON
Reports That Ship On
Yangtze River, China,
Was Fired On Denied

A former Sank Centre high
school student was aboard the U.
S. gunboat Luzon last Saturday
when a japanese army spokesman
said that Chinese artillery fire
along the banks of the Yangtze
river Friday had endangered the
ship carrying Ambassador Nelson,
T. johnson, Rear Admiral William
Glassford and other American Of
ficials.
He is Robert SaylO, whose
home is in Minneapolis, and
who is brother of Mrs. How
ard Pangburn, of this city.
The report that the ship had
been fired upon coming down river
from Hankow was later denied by
Ambassador johnson himself. It
was learned later that the Chinese
had been firing on a japanese
transport about 500 yards up the
river from the Luzon. Shrapnel,
however, fell around both ships.
Mr.. Saylo, Howard Pangburn re-
ported here this week, spent some
two years attending Sauk Centre
public schools around the years
1880 and 81. At that time he stay
ed with Howard who attended
school with him. Now in Oriental
waters about a year and half,
Saylo is reported to have been with
the U. S. Navy about three years.

Missionary Says Africa
Still Is Dark in Spots

JASPER, ALA.-Africa still is the
Dark Continent in many ways.
c. ]. Dotson, Baptist missionary
to Rhodesia, has found it so, he said,
in an address at the First Baptist
church Of Jasper.
Greatest Rhodesian superstition,
which British authorities have had
scant success in suppressing, is the
killing Of babies. II twins are born,
they must be killed. If baby cuts
an upper tooth first, it must be
killed. If either type were allowed
to live, the natives claim, a great
calamity would befall the tribe.
Dotson said the natives dodge
strict British laws by dispatching
the ill-starred babies secretly, then
reporting that they died of illness.
