Pine CITY STARTS
development ASSN
Citizens Organize Monday Eve.
ming for Social and Com.
mercial Retirement.

A very enthusiastic meeting
was held in the village Of Pine
City Monday evening for the
purpose of organizing develop
ment association and under the
able leadership of r. P. Allen,
the light and power man, who
was temporary chairman, many
good ideas and different opin-
ions were brought out as how
best to develop their city and
community.
One speaker said that Pine
City being blessed by nature
with beautiful surroundings in
the way Of lakes and rivers
much could be done there to
make it inviting to visitors as
we'll as actual settlers. 1t was
suggested that the Development
Association get after that and
provide bathing houses, bolts,
launches, refreshment stands,
etc. during the summer. Pine
City is missing the opportunity
of not having thousands of au-
tomobile visitors there during
the summer time on account of
not having developed their see
mic beauties.
Other speakers suggested that
work also be done in the direc-
tion of securing small factories
for their village and with good
live development association, a
body Of men working together
for the best interests of their
village the growth Of same
this can be done. Experiences
Of men who had formerly re-
sided in Saltwater. Mankato, st.
Cloud. Crookston and other
places were given. The
growth Of these places from
villages the size Of Pine
City to cities between 5000
and 10000 inhabitants is due in
a large measure to good live
commercial clubs or development
associations. especially that Of
Saltwater. which lost the biz
numbering industry years ago
and had to develop something
else.
One Of the speakers. . former
newspaper man. also suggested
that in place Of the village hav-
ing two newspapers they be con-
solidated. and have one good
newspaper, which with 4 larger
circulation and the whole conn
munity backing it could un-
doubtedly accomplish more. Il
is often a mistake, that in vii
lagos too small there are two
newspapers. each representing )
However in Pine City
there appears to be no scrapping
between the publications, but
nevertheless many Of their citi-
zens are Of the opinion that one
would be better.
Membership dues in the Pine
City Development Association
were placed at SO per year. each
member signing up for three
years. Some were of the opinion
that the dues were placed too
high, arguing that if it were
lower nearly everybody would
become members. However the
large majority at the organixa-
ton meeting favored the so
plan. To date approximately ~
members have been secured.
Officers were elected as fol-
lows: President. H. N. TaEner:
vice president, Ed Prochaska;
secretary. R. r. Allen; treasurer,
Webb Hodge; executive com

Since my return | have visited

Z, 1917. She alleges that her hus-
band built up a business which is
paying him $4,000 a year income.
About 1907, she alleges, he began

whom he was supporting with her
children, and finally on April 7,
1917, he brought an attorney to their
home and induced her to sign pc.
tition for divorce.
He did not appear in court and
she was granted the divorce. She
said she was told that she should

stand, as the decree could be easily
modified. J

to leave the state.
