ICE ON
MISSOURI UNLIKELY

Great Falls, Mont, March u
Unless March turns out to be
much colder than the usually
more frigld months of jan
uary and February were this
year, there probably will be no
ice harvest on the Missouri
river here, for one of the few
times in the city'S history.
Ordinarily, about 10 inches
of ice is the minimum thick
ness that can be cut and stared
for commercial use. During a
few days of moderately cold
w a t late in February,
about five inches formed on the
channels where ice is usually
cut, but a thaw blasted hopes
of icemen that it might reach
the necessary thickness.
The icemen said about two
weeks of continuous zero weat-
her now would be required to
permit a harvest and that Mar
Oh rarely produced such weat-
her.

IS HOSTESS TO
BRIDGE CLUB
The evening bridge club met
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-02

-HE citizens of the little town of
Memphis, Texas, will remember
for many years the shrewdness of
Raymond Ballew, a business man who
made more money in three weeks off
the fact that he was going to be sent
to prison than he did in any six
month period of his business
Mr. Ballew, who went to the Texas
state Prison during the first part of
July. 1910, after having been convicted
of assault with intent to kill a police
man two years before. took a most
unorthodox view of his fate Instead
of taking his time to get his business
affairs into shape" he used the time
for an hilarious sales period that upset
all precedent
When he learned a short time ago
that his two-year sentence had been
upheld by the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals, Mr. Ballew called together
the members of the staff of his auto
mobile and electrical appliance store
and gave them a pep talk as the
beginning of an intensive sales cam
paign. After outlining his plans, he
said: Let's make the next three
weeks the greatest in our company's
history Let's sell enough to make
UP for the time I'll lose"
Then he set out for the office of The
Memphis Democrat where he pur-
chased quarter-page advertisement
from J. Claude Wells the publisher.
This advertisement said, in part:
Yes. folks. it's true. I'm not going
to be with you much longer! For in
little while I'll be stripping sorghum

dren while I'm eating off of Uncle Bud
Frankly, I've been sold out, so now
I'm selling OUT"
And that is exactly what he did.
On the first day, the cash register in
Mr.. Ballews store rang up more than
81 900 worth of sales. He cleared his
shelves within a week.
Then, instead of closing his doors,
he bought a vanload of refugerators
and hired more statesmen. At the end
of two weeks. he had sold IS 600 worth
of merchandise. The sale continued
until he left for prison Just before
his departure, he had printed ms last
advertisement:
GOODBYE! Friends Competitors,
Enemies. Professional Politicians"
After his signature he wrote these
words: IF l had the wings of an
angel these prison walls I would
fly"
This quotation was from The Pris-
oner's Song" a mournful ditty that
nearly every radio and photograph
was playing a few years ago Il is
still heard once in a while
The trial. which followed charges
brought against Mr.. Ballew two years
ago, was. according to him, marked by
charges of political crookedness in the
county located in the Texas Panhandle.

politicians" The policeman whom he

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-02

FISH long have been the favorite subject of
some of the werdest tales concocted by man.
Now comes yarn about a fish that carries
rocks around in its mouth.
This stone-mason fish recently was seen indus
triously at work at Mission Bay San Diego,
California. 1t about two feet long and had
an especially large mouth well adapted to its work.
When first observed the fish had scooped
channel out of the mud near a small private pier
so it could swim right up to the shore line.
The strange creature was first noticed when
pile of rocks, each about the size of mans fist,
began to appear the bank A beach philosopher
was astounded to stone rising out of the surf.
He watched more closely. few minutes later
another rock pushed out This time the
watcher the fish. II held stone in its huge
mouth and pushed it far ashore possible be-
fore dropping IT.
The man hastily summoned other witnesses.
Among them Robert Wise, a San Diego
photographer Light conditions were not right

for picture taking but quite crowd gathered 10
watch the fish appear with stone in its mouth
deposit it the pile on shore, them swim back 10
dig another from the ocean floor
The witnesses. knowing their tale would be dis
puted hurried to nearby Scripps Institution OF
Oceanography at La Jolla, where they asked +. 5
Barnhart curator all about the fish.
Yes there is such fish" he told them. 1T
is known as the midshipman. I'm fact, it is rather
common. although seldom seen at work But ones
as long as two feet are very rarely seen. A lot
of fish have hard time finding a safe place to
deposit their eggs. The midshipman tries to solve
this problem by tunneling under rocks to lay its
eggs then it builds protection for its Matching
young by piling stones over the spot. This is to
prevent other fish from devouring them.
When the young hatch out they have a small
sucker on their heads. With this they attach
themselves TO one of the protecting rocks. This
keeps them from swimming out into a danger zone
until they get big enough to look out for enemies.
