tional bank at Pine City accord
ing to the Pine County Pioneer.
If this is established it will be
the third bank in that village as
there are now two state banks.

from the Pioneer:
For several weeks there has
been considerable talk about

for Pine City. and while matters
have progressed to a slight ex'
tent, nothing sufficiently definite
for publication has taken place
The Banking Department has

Rev. Robicrg Raptizcs Triplcts
While visiting at Tyler in
Lincoln county, Rev. Bobjerg,
who left Askov a few weeks ago
for California, was called out to
baptize triplets.
The Tyler Journal gives the
following account of the affair:
Lincoln county is booming
beyond question: When the po-
pulation increases at the rate Of
triplets the ncighboring counties
will please tip the hat to Lincoln
county.
At the Knud Petersen home
about 4 miles north Of Tyler
triplet girls were born last Mon
day morning Oct. 6, 1919. We
hope the three young ladies' will
prosper and some day be the
pride of the county, and the
Journal extends triple congratu-
latiOns
Rev. A. Bob ierg was called
out to baptize the X. Petersen
triplets Tuesday afternoon and
they were called Violet, Verma
and Vera. Two were so similar
that they had to be marked that
they might be sure Of keeping
the name given"

MAKES HIS OWN SYRUP

There is more than one way to
beat the high cost of living, but
V. Smith. farmer living north
Of town, has hit new way for
this section. Last spring he
planted about one-fourth of an
acre Of sugar cane and he has
just harvested as fine a crop as
can be found anywhere. He Sc
cured a cane press and Timer
Terwilegar rugged him out with
a large evaporating pan to boil
the sap down into syrup. He has
had much experience in this
kind Of work and figures that he
will have at least 50 gallons from
his small patch of cane. At the
present price Of syrup, he will
receive very good returns for his
efforts. His experiment has
proven so successful it may be
the beginning Of another pros
porous industry here with
large mill, and also another good
source Of revenue for the farm
ers. Sandstone Courier
