LABISHERS IN FLOOD e e And Others Too Would Give Cars for Boats FOR FEW HOURS MORE Lad Knows His Spuds At 5 Years LAKE LABISH, Jan. 4 Don ald Mears, age five, Is probably the state's youngest potato grow er and certainly one of the best. He grew a potato to a height of 10 feet and two Inches in the soft loam of the Lake Labish area. He planted his "spud" April 20 and November 30 harvested 24 pota toes all good sizable potatoes and fit for the table of Roosevelt. The plant was produced from the seed-end of a large smooth Burbank. The planting and care of the tuber was strictly perform ed by young Mears, age 5, who is a nephew of the well-known Judge John Mears of the district court, Portland. Hundreds of people have stop ped and marveled at the growth of this extraordinary potato. Ev ery leaf perfect and shining five bunches of purple blossoms crowning this wonder. A tiny boy always doing some thing for his beloved plant which finally grew like a young boy tree to become a wonder to all be holden 1 ' On Nov. 10, Ripley had it in his Believe It Or Not! By W. R. GWINN LAKE LABISH, Jan. 4. When an automobile not an automo bile? You give up, eh? Well, an automobile is not an automobile when it's a boat. And local automobiles are pretty much put to the necessity of acting as skiffs, scows and ferries these days. In fine. Lake Labish has re verted to primitive. High water holds sway. Virtually all of the valuable beaverdam land is under water, the depth of which varies from six Inches to 10 or 12 feet this latter depth holding for cer tain low spots. Over the great body of land the depth Is from three to five feet. The reference to automobiles doubling for scows is pertinent to certain stretches of the county road in the vicinity. The road run ning north from the Welton gro cery is impassable, the water be ing very deep over the road. This necessitates lengthy detours. The road running north from the La bish Center store, toward Brooks, Is Just barely navigable, the water being several feet deep. At least one hapless motorist, trusting more in providence than in observation, has been observed in a woefully stranded condition a hundred yards from shore. The swimming is very chilly at this season, and wading removes the creases from one's trousers and induces the croup. So where are you, in a case of that sort? The answer seems to be: stranded. If one has sandwiches along one may adopt the casual, philosophical at titude that the water will be down in a .few days anyway, so why worry. If one hasn't sandwiches, one must swim or wade or starve to death. There is nothing else for it. Intrepid sailors have been pad dling about in the brisk January breezes, breasting swells and, ap parently, enjoying themselves. There Is some talk of establishing a life-saving station on a point of the southern shore, the station to be dedicated to the service of retrieving stranded motorists who haven't sandwiches. The humane spirit ever, is the Labish New Year motto. There would be no necessity for stranded motorists on the Labish (sub-aqua) highways if the per sons responsible had possessed the perspicacity to build them on a higher level. There have been dire mutterings under breaths the past several days. Disgraceful, being compelled to wade or swim or starve. There ought to bet a law compelling the county to furnish hot coffee for the mermen who have to swim to shore . . . down a highway. That's the public's viewpoint, anyway. The recent high rains, which backed the water up in the little Pudding river, are responsible for the inundation. Fortunately, Lake Labish 's sieges of high water are usually shortlived. Once the rain abates, the water begins to recede. It is higher than usual this year. But if you intend to do any mo toring hereabouts in the next few days, you'd better play safe. Bring plenty of sandwiches. Or seme pontoons. Or a swimmin' suit. More Than Three Inches of Rain is Report at Mehama MEHAMA, Jan. 4. William P. Mulkey reported Monday that more rain had fallen In 12 hours the preceding night than he had ever known to fall in these psrts in tnat lengtn of time. He re ported 2.20 Inches.

L 50c S:-1(C The manufacturer of good ciga rettes does not depend on any one year's crop. He knows that to keep up the quality of his brand, he has to carry on hand at all times a large stock of the right kinds of tobacco from several years crops. The domestic tobaccos are kept in large hogsheads, each containing about 1000 pounds, and are allowed to age for two full years in other words, nature's method of curing the tobaccos. Something like age ing wine. Liggett & Myers has about four and a half miles of warehouses used for storing leaf tobacco, to make sure that its products are uniform and are as good as can be made. To do this requires a great deal of money for example, there is invested in the domestic and Turk ish tobaccos for Chesterfield Ciga rettes over $75,000,000. Smokers can be assured, regard less of the crop conditions, that Chesterfield will be absolutely uni formthe same yesterday, today, at all times.
