HARTINGTON— Why not have a municipal ice skating rink on the athletic field?
This question has been asked by the Editor of the News of many of the business and professional men of the community and the answer has been practically the same in every instance.
”Great idea, why not, indeed.”
So the News called in City Engineer J.D. Clair Smith, who volunteered to take the levels of the field.
This was done several days ago and it was discovered that the east half of the field, with the exception of the northeast corner, can be flooded with a minimum amount of water.
The plan is to have a team plow about four furrows around that part of the field to be flooded. It is expected that many of the high school boys would take up, after school hours, the work of making the face ridge as firm as possible.
Water would then be turned on very slowly in order that it would form a heavy frost in the ground. On account of the warmth of the water, it disappears at once if the field would be flooded quickly, as it would draw all of the frost out of the ground, and the water would then soak right in.
President Barnhart of the School Board expressed his approval of the plan, if after mature investigation, it is deemed practical.
Mayor Walz, always ready to advance the interests of the community, said that sufficient water would be furnished by the city, but it would be necessary to put it on the field in a manner that would hold the frost in the ground.

HARTINGTON— While repairing the upper sash of a window at his home Monday, the window fell and the broken glass cut the main artery in the right wrist of R.W. Mallatt.
The arm was tied up quickly and a physician was called, but before he got there, Mr. Mallatt nearly died from the blood loss.
Today, he is still confined to his bed, but is getting along as well as can be expected.
