 1nformants emphasized the role of the air force and said 1t made continuous concentrated" attacks yesterday on Russian lines of com munication and effectively broke up fleeing enemy columns" in the Ball. tic area.
 Informants refused to give any detailed information on military operations. Obviously, 1t was said, silence was being dictated by the high command which was withhold ing the dtails of operations until the information would no longer be of use to the Russians.
 It was insisted that the Russian command was "still" largely depend- ent on German military reports In its efforts to effect proper orienta- tion of the positions along the front because of the damage done by Ger man planes to Russian communica- tion lines.
 Informants predicted that the high command would break it's si- lence during the weekend and an- nounce advances deep into enemy territory"
 The silence of the high command did not, informants said, mean that the Russians had succeeded in halt ing the Germans.

Barn On FinlaysOn
Farm, Is Destroyed

Lightning, striking far and wide
during the recent severe storms, de-
stroyed the barn on the Carl Meid-
linger farm 212 miles southwest of
Finlayson shortly after 8 o'clock Sat-
urday morning. The bolt split the
barn open, scattering fire over the
hay NOW.
Mrs. Meidlinger and two daugh-
tiers, Irene and Geraldine, alone at
home, were assisted by neighbors in
getting out the stock and harness in
the doomed structure. The flames
spread so rapidly there was no chance
to save the barn. No other build
ings were damaged but the power
transformer on the farm had to be
replaced.
Mr. Meidlinger, who had insurance
on both the barn and contents, is
making plans to rebuild Immediately
before winter.

Mystery Veils SUI
Sheep Killing

Several sheep on the Sylverton
Loftness farm two miles north
of Kroschel, were killed early
Sunday morning and a number
of others seriously injured. 1t
was first believed that they had
been attacked by wolves or dogs,
but tracks discovered the follow
ing day on a nearby road ap-
peared to be those of a lynx or
bobcat.
All the sheep killed or injured
had a tiny hole bitten in the
throat besides being badly torn
up, so the attacker, whatever it
was, is believed to be a very
bloodthirsty animal.
The dead and injured sheep
were found only a short distance
from the barn.

Will Give Eagle
Scout Badges 10
Pine City Youths
Ben Boo and Harry Wilson
to Receive Coveted Rank
ing at Court of Honor.

Two Eagle Scouts will be made
in Pine City this evening Thursday
at court of honor to be held at
the high school auditorium. The
scouts who have attained the rank
are Ben Boo, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben c. Boo, and Harry Wilson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Felix E. Wilson. Both
boys are 16 years of age and have
made the rank after four years as
Scouts.
During the past summer both
scouts attended Camp Lawrie at Eagle
Lake near Cromwell, and finished
work on a few merit badges needed
to make the FL merit badges neces-
sary for Eagle Scout. Their final
review and examination were con-
Quoted by the officers and staff at
Camp Lawrie, but comforting of the
rank was deferred until a court of
honor could be arranged in Pine
City.
Goal of Each Scout.
The Eagle Scout rank is the goal of
each Scout who takes up Scouting
in earnest and it is no easy task to
pass all the required tests. The 81
merit badges required include first
aid, life saving, personal health, pub
lie health, cooking, camping, bird
study, pioneering, athletics and physi-
cal development. When a Scout has
passed all of these, he is fairly able
to take care of himself in the world,
whether in the city or in the woods
During their Scout career, both
Ben and Harry have held offices in
the troop, such as patrol leader and
den chief for Cub Scouts.
Harry E. Bartlett, chief scout execu-
tive of Duluth, will be present at the
court of honor to assist the local COM
mittee in conducting the ceremonies.
