a. Trapper Reports Seeing Airplane, Hope Renewed A report from a trapper that he had seen the missing plane within 18 miles of Seward has spurred the search in Alka for a former Winonan and his companion lost on an airplane flight.

At ithat time, said the trapper, the plane was headed toward Homer, which had been the announced destination of the two men.

The report, coming from a previously unsearched district, renewed hope thut Roth, superintendent of schools in Seward, and his physician companion, pilot of the plane, might be found alive.

The letter relates: "We are now way out in Western Germany as refugees and have nothing no clothing or shoes and very little to sew with. I have also been a widow for six years.

The three daughters are all married. One of the sons-in-law came home from the war, one was killed and the other is missing. At one time we had plenty of these worldly goods and now we are poor. "We lost everything. I must also ask you in behalf of my children and grandchildren If it is possible for you to help us a little.

It can be either food or anything else. We need everything that one needs to live on. I know that this is a difficult thing to ask of you but we are helpless." Four Register With Buffalo Draft Board Alma. Wis. (Special) Listed below are the names of the four reg istrants who reported to the local '47 to Be Dry, Says St.

Cloud Onion Forecaster Winona may not have any wea ther prognosticators--but St. Cloud has and he uses the "onion method." He is Werner Algner, who forecasts the year's weather in advance by the reading of onions. Wayne consulted the fragant vegetable at 6 p. m. New Year's Eve, and by 6 a.

m. New Year's, had completed the 12-month weather cycle for the year of 1947. The onion, "allium capa," Is derived from a Latin word, "Nnlo," meaning oneness, and from It comes the onion weather forecast for 1947, as follows: January will be wet throughout and cold and stormy. February is to be a dry cold month all month. March will likewise be dry throughout in addition to being stormy.

April will be dry the first half of the month and damp the second half with average temperatures prevailing throughout. May will also be dry the first half and damp the second half, again with average tempera-' tures. June Is calculated to be a dry month throughout with above average temperatures. July also will be dry throughout and hot. August Is to be damp the first half of the month and dry the second, and again will be hot.

September will be dry the first half and damp the second with average temperatures during the entire month. October will be a wet month throughout and it will be stormy. November is listed as dry the first half of the month and damp the second with stormy conditions prevailing. December pod showed that that month will be dry all month with average temperatures. "The most startling reaction of my analysis and over-all survey of, the weather outlook for the year of 1947," said Mr.

Algner, "Is the general and marked degree of dryness throughout. I see a definite dryness during normal growing months, which will be particularly harmful to our agricultural community. Yet, checking back through 1944, my reports have shown a definite dry cycle over the past three years." "Iooking back over the 12 months of 1946, there was a high degree of accuracy shown In the-forecast," he continued, "then; being nine months correct, one month wrong, and two months half wrong, for an average of approximately 83 per cent correct. This is the second highest degree of accuracy sinco I have kept my taouiations. Seventh Year Tliis completes Mr.

Aigner's sev enth year of his hobby of weather forecasting by this method, which was taught him by his mother who had learned it from Capuchin monks residing near St. Cloud, Wisconsin. His best year of prognostication was in 1941, when he was 85 percent accurate in his predictions. Other years and their accuracy percentage include, 1946, 83 per cent correct; 1945, 72 per cent correct: 1944. 74 per cent correct; 1943, 75 per cent correct and 1942, 80 per cent correct.

Explains Method Methods consists of sprinkling salt on 12 pods taken from a large onion, each labeled with the name of a month of the year. The chemical reaction of the two determlns the type of weather to expect. If the pod dries between 6 p. m. and mid night New Year's Eve, the first half of the month the onion stands for, win oe dry.

If the pod draws moisture between midnight and 6 a. m. New Year's morning, the last half of the month will be wet. Dryness of the pod or how much moisture is drawn from it, determines degree of moisture or dryness. Summer temperatures are predicted by the dryness of the salt.

Other data listed by Mr. Algner include three eclipses of the sun and moon during the year, none of which will be visible in the United States, and the opening date of each of the seasons of the year: first day of spring, March; first day oi summer, June 22; first day of autumn, September 23; first day of winter, December 22.

State's First Legislature Met in 1849 By Jack Mackay, Associated Yrtm Writer St, Taut f) A shabby little frame hotel served as the meeting place of lawmakers in the first Minnesota legislature. Bnck In 1849 the atmosphere and surroundings wore far different than the ornate house and senate chambers of a marble state capltol in which the 1947 legislature convenes next Tuesday.

When Minnesota territory was organized, St. Paul was designated as the capital. Hut no building was provided in which the legislative business of the new territory could be conducted. Minnesota Historical society records reveal that many of the lawmakers had been assigned for lodging to the "Central House." a log residence built in 1844. Later a number of additions were made.

Central House was situated at the corner of Minnesota and Bench streets on a site overlooking the Mississippi river. The first meeting of the territorial legislature was held in the dining room of the hotel on September 3, 1849. To signalize the opening of the first legislature, a United States flag was run up on a staff In front of the hotel In front of the townspeople, among them many Indians. After the houses were organized the afternoon of September 4, a Joint session was held. Prayer was of fered by the Rev.

Edward D. Nelll and Governor Ramsey delivered his inaugural message. During the early sessions, the house mef in the dining room and the "council" made use of the parlor. A writer, describing the early history of Minnesota, reports: "About the hour of noon a waiter would thrust his head in among the solons and sing out, and then there was a sudden adjournment and a general buzz." In such humble surroundings, laws were passed relating to taxes, the sale of liquor to Indians, divorce, education, printing the laws, creation of counties and many ether matters. Next Tuesday Governor Luther Youngdahl will stand before 198 legislators in Joint session in an atmosphere in direct contrast, with black-robed supreme court Justices and men in military uniform adorning the dias while throngs occupy comfortable seats in the gallies.

Jefferson Davis, as a young lieutenant on a tour of duty in 1838, built the original Presque Isle lighthouse on Lake Huron. Today it is a shrine to the president of the southern Confederacy.

Stanley McMahon, attorney who represented Erdmann, told the court that since the Erdmann trial in November the defendant had earned less than $40 and it had been literally Impossible for him to properly support his children.

Erdmann had pleaded not guilty when arraigned and lost his case.

He had been charged with falling to contribute adequately to his children's support since June 5 by his former wife. Mrs. John Malenke, 656 East Third street. Loth, who was charged by his former wife, Mrs. Edna Loth, 150 Huff street, with falling to support their minor daughter, pleaded guilty when arraigned last October and the case was continued for sentencing until December 14 and the defendant released upon his own recognizance.
