to their great satisfaction over the
economic and moral results it has
brought is beginning to realize that
the predictions of the liquor interests
had no foundation in fact, Time
was. only few months ago" says
the Freehold Transcript, when we
heard on all sides direfui predictions
of what would happen when the
country went dry what terrible re-
suits would follow from former drunk
ards turning to drugs and theft to
secure relief from their dreadful
cravings. Now that real prohibition
is in effect. we look in vain for the
fulfillment of these promised evils.
We do not know exactly what has
been the result elsewhere, but we do
know that they have not come true.

locality. Instead of turning TO drugs
our old famous regulars have faken
TO the movies and ice cream. One
of the most regular of regulars will
tell you that he wishes that II had
come TO pass thirty years ago. because
he would be a millionaire now, since
he thinks he must have spent that
amount for booze. Another who never
took anything home Saturday night

1t is repeated that 1t Is altogether
Improbable that the adoption of Art
icle X as originally proposed by the
president would have involved the
United States in actual warfare, 1t
might well be adopted or ratified by
the senate without endangering
American institutions. But 1t is also
repeated that If the president re-
iects the treaty because of the
amendment by the senate of Article
\, he will find himself without any
thing like the united support even
of the members of his own party
And the result of the campaign
would tell the story more convincingiy.

CREAMERY MEN MEET

Representatives from Pine
County cooperative creameries at
Pine City. Brook Park. Hinckley
and Askov met at Hinckley Sat
urday and discussed things Of in
tcrest and benefit to them.
One thing, especially, that will
most likely be taken up soon. is
the shipping OF butter in carload
lots direct from some point in
Pine County to New York. The
creameries will pool their butter
in order to do this and thereby
save 4Sc per 100 pounds on
freight.

BILE by a new law passed at the
special session of the Minnesota
legislature in 1919 chapter 55.
1t requires at least 12 companies
to form an association Of this
kind and the purpose is to pro-
tect one another in big losses.
Officers Of the Pine County
Mutual say they will now be
able to take on bigger risks.
Each local company pays &c on
each 500 of insurance in force
to the Association, this amount.
ing to nearly $400 for the Pine
County Mutual in the year 1920
as it had nearly $1,000. 900 insur.
ance in force at the beginning Of
the year. Each member compa
ny is subject to assessment ir
case of real heavy losses by one
or more Of the companies.
The Association pays all losses
over one per cent Of total of in
surance in force during a calen,
dar year, to any member com
pany.
AS a whole it is just the means
Of widening the protection tc
farmers and making the compan
les safe and more sure of a low
rate on fire insurance.
In case of a forest fire that
takes in nearly all the individual
members Of one company it is q
fine thing to have many other
companies come to their aid and
thus the burden is much less.
Officers of the Association are
as follows: President-N. Mis-
sen. Duluth; vice presidents-E
A. f. Laage, Askov and Mr.
Swanberg, Cass Lake; secretary
W. N. Warner, Motley; treas
urer-Oscar Pearson. Big Fork
One member from each company

the Association and from these
are chosen the officers.

SMALL rOx At SANDSTONE

About ten cases of small pox
have dev veloped at Sandstone
amongst the high school pupils
mostly the basket ball players.
However they are all mild cases
and there appears 10 he no signs
Of the disease spreading. The
Sandstone school has not been
closed hut the small pox patients
are quarantined and being
watched carefully. Vaccination
is going on freely there.
II is thought that the basket
ball players caught the disease
while playing with team from
some other town.

cannot do this by means of ILL
considered presents. Thought
less gifts cause the January ash
can to bulge with debris. Only
when our gifts have lasting
meaning do they carry the true
message of goodwill which is the
spirit Of real giving.
We can give happiness and con-
tentment and safety for the fu-
ture as well as pleasure for the
moment. Such gifts are within
reach of all. They are to be
found in the Savings Securities
of the United States Govern
ment. From the 25 cent Thrift
Stamp to the $1,000 Treasury
Savings Certificate, they will
carry with them not only the
greetings of the season but hap.
piness for years to come. In
presenting the child a card with
one thrift stamp affixed. you be-
stow not only a present but a
habit which will grow in value
as the days pass. for he will wish
to FIJI the card. That little gift
will have grown wonderfully be.
fore another Christmas comes
around, and the recipient will be
on the way to a life Of indepen-
dence.
In recommending these lasting
gifts, the Savings Division of the
Treasury does not suggest that
a single American curtail his
Christmas giving. 1t suggests
only that he broaden it to include
this present which will bring fu-
ture well-being to those he loves
Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps
and Treasury Certificates will be
on sale throughout the year

the Government is giving the op.
portunity to every man, woman
and child in the land through the
coming year to enjoy the happi.
ness, prosperity and contentment
which is found in financial inde-
pendence and security for the fu-
ture.
