Paul Bunyan Logged Through Some Pretty Chilly and Snowy Weather The winter of the Deep Snow everything was buried, l'atil had to dig down to find the tops of the tallest White Pines. Ho had tho snow dug away around them and lowered his sawyers down to tho bane of the trees. When the tree v.,..l!,,;, w'os cut off he hauled it to the surface with a long parbnckle chain to which Babe, mounted on snow shoes, was hitched. It was Impos sible to get enough stove pipe to reach the top of the snow, so Paul had Big Ole make stovepipe by boring out logs with a long six-inch auger. The year of the Two Winters they had winter, all summer and then in the fall 'it turned colder. One day" Big ' Joe set the boiling coffee pot on the stove nnd it froze so quick that the ice wa3 hbt. That was right after Paul had built the Great ; Lakes nnd that winter ELECTRICIAN IS SEVERELY BURNT I AT LOCAL PLANT i Lcland Couch was severely burnt about tho face Thursday at the Shaw-Bertram, factory when testing a ground on the now electrical equip ment. Couch, an experienced elec trician, knew that he was in danger, so he stood on a box nnd kept his face when testing out tho ground.

He finally got nil the ice thawed but he had to put in all new fish. The next year was the year tho rain came up from China. It rained so bard and so long that tho gross was all washed out by the roots and Paul bad a great time feeding his cattle. Babe had to learn to eat pancakes like Benny. That was the time ho used the straw hats for an emergency ration. When Paul's drive came down, folks - in the settlements were astonished to see all tho river-pigs wearing hugo straw hats. The roa son for this was soon apparent, when tho fodder ran out cvory man was politely reqnested to toss his hat in tho ring. Hundreds of straw bats were used to make a lunch for Babe.
