Logan Has Truck
Smacking Habit;
Hoi gate Objects
It's getting to be too much of
a habit, complained Stanley Hol-
gate. truck driver, to state police
early this morning.
The habit he objects to is hav
ing his truck rammed from the
rear by the automobile of C. K.
Logan, Salem newspaperman. It
happened this morning on the
highway near Playmore park, and
it was the second such occurrence
in about two weeks.
Logan blamed the collision on
the slippery pavement and poor
visibility due to the night's storm.
An average of 20 bushels of
barley per acre has led to in

states in sub-sero temperatures.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illi
nois went to bed with all the blan
kets the family chest could yield.
In the Dakotas and Nebraska
the frigid grip was slackening a
bit. Into Indiana, Ohio and Penn
sylvania the central of cold was
moving, and snow heaped a cover
let over Cleveland.
The mercury was still in hiding
along the Canadian border, with a
reading 25 degrees below sero at
International Falls, Minn., but a
forecast ot warmer today gave a
modicum of cheer. Three persons
died in Milwaukee ot exposure.
