|PAlD BIG LOSSES
DURING PAST YEAR
Pine County Mutual Fire Insur-
ancc Go. Has Steadily In.
creased Business

The annual meeting of the
Pine County Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company was held at Askov
last Saturday, with only an at.
tendance Of about 40 members.
The small attendance. however,
can perhaps be taken as evidence
of good faith in it's officials. The
business has been going along
smooth during 1910 and the COM
pany has enjoyed a steady i'm
crease in business. The only
member from outside this inn
mediate community who attend
ed the annual meeting was John
Won Reuden Of Hnckley, and he
didn't raise any kick at all. In
fact John" as he is commonly
called by his friends. is an ar.
dent worker for the Pine County
Mutual and has secured many
new policy holders for the COM
pany.
LOSSES Big.
The forest Are in the fall Of
1918 struck the Pine County
Mutual a rather hard blow and
during 1919 they paid out $22,-
954 for losses incurred during

the result Of the forest FIRE with
the exception Of $500 on the
Finnish church at Finlayson..
Losses incurred in 1919 and paid
during 1919 amounted TO only
81 1880. A total Of $24.1l5.5O
was paid out during 1919 for Are
losses.

had in force 952 policies with !
total insurance Of $1.626. .72S and
on Dec. 81. 1919. there were 00l
policies with 4 total insurance Of
| 81 .9O5. 1876.
! Officers Reelected.
| The same officers were chosen
to serve for 1920 as follows:

III. r. Petersen: treasurer. Fred
Degerstrom.

LOCAL BOYS ARE SEEN
STEALING CASE Of MALT

And still another spetty theft in
town. This time the thieves took a
case of malt from the rear of Wam-
berg's Pharmacy building. The ones
responsible for the theft are known
to be some of the young boys around
town, but their names are not
known. They were seen taking the
malt away from the building, their
pockets full of bottles.
These are probably some of the
same boys who took some of the
other articles missing lately, and as
they are known to be Hope boys we
wish to give them littlee tip. Some
time, some how, they are going to be
caught in their stealing, and If they
do not already know it, we wish to
tell them that there is aschool for
such dishonest boys over at Mandan
where they are under the most
strict teachers, and all boys who
steal are placed in this school and
are not free again until they are
eighteen years old. This school is
about the same as penitentary,
where men are sent who do wrong.
II any OF the youthful robbers are
ever caught in Hope we do not doubt
in the least but what they will be
sent to this reform school.
Listen, boys. If any Of you who
are responsible for taking these
things of late, happen to read this,
we want to tell you of the wrong you
are doing and what punishment you
are liable to receive. We have a
fond spot in our heart for all the
young fellows of Hope-we think
there are none better anywhere
but some of you are doing things
that ar not right, and If you do not
stop now you will grow up robbers
and thieves, and none of you want
to be that. You are not honest tC
yourselves or the rest of the people
about town who trust you. Stop it!

and if they will not pay it, to boycott
them. Now comes the governor of
our state, in public speech reported
in his own paper, threatening with
boycott those who do not agree with
his nonresident managers, and who
do not believe in going "head-over-
head" in debt experimental businss
before we know whether they will be
failures or successes, instead TO doing
his duty (if the statements he makes
are true) and prosecuting any man
who will threaten any voter, as he
ought to be, not even excepting Mr..
Townley or Mr.. Frazier. This is sure
"big business" for the governor of
a great state. How long will the
people stand for it?

YOUR BOYS.
HIS SAVINGS

The lessons of the school year that
has Just closed will have been studi-
ed in vain if the graduates, about to
enter upon their chosen careers,
have failed to learn that thrift and .
saving in thir proper sense are quite
as ipmortant as anything in the cur
riculum over which they have
thumbed and labored. Many gradu-
ates and, unfortunately, pupils of
younger years are leaving the graded
schools at this time and seeking en-
ployment. This period represents
crisis in their lives which leads them
either to loose habits or to the habit
of thrift and ultimate prosperity.
The inexorable decree, that in the
sweat of his brow shall man earn his
bread, cannot be set aside. Education
makes better workman in every
field, but no man can hope to enjoy
the fruits of his toll unless he has
acquired habits of thrift in his early
life.
The world owes no abel-bodied
Stacker a living. He must go out
among his fellows and earn it. The
character of that living depends SOLE
ly upon the mental and physical
equipment with which he has been
endowed, aided and developed by his
own unceasing efforts. The work
Stacker in peace times is as much
menace to his country as his proto-
type in times Of war He is costing
his country millions every year and
he it is who is pushing ever upward
the cost of living through reduction
of output effort. More individual
effort and more production will bring
down the cost of living and thereby
remove distress. Thrift is the lever
through which this war-worn world,
is to stabilized, for neither the nation
nor the individual can get back to
rational basis so long as the desire
to indulge in reckless spending con-
trolls it. "Work and save" should be
the slogan of the rising generation,
for upon the character Of those now
entering upon mans estate depends
the future of this nation.

BREAK REPORTED YESTER.
DAY AMONG Committeeman

A lively meeting is reported to
have taken place at Cooperstown yes
terday when the precinct committee
men of Steele and Griggs counties
met to select a state committeeman
from this legislative district. The
Nonpartisan League faction had 81
delegates and the l. V. AS had 13,
four others being refused voting
powers, because they were proxies.
A Mr.. Anderson, N. P, was select
ed chairman. Then the 1. V. AS put
up ]. A. Carlson, of Finley, as their
candidate, and the N. P.'s put up
Chas. Williams, with the result that
Mr.. Williams was selected. Steele
County's old war-horse, Steen Mel
Eson, l. V. A., introduced resolution
edorsing Harding and Coolridge, and
the national Republican platform
This resolution was defeated by the
Nonpartisans. Whereupon, the In
| dependents Immediately held another
meeting and elected Mr.. Carlson as
a delegate to the state committee
saying that if the so-called Republi
can county committees could ant
would not support the nationa
standard-bearers Of their party, the,
had no license to belong to such {
party, and had ruled themselves ou
by their actions.
So instead of selecting one state
committeeman as usual each factor
put one of their own, and it is witt
interest that the outcome will bt
watched when the state committee
meets.

CALLED NEW MNINITER

A meeting of the members of the
Congregational Church was held
last Sundey evening for the purpose
of calling a new minister to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Rev. F. H. Bergman. Rev. Burk-
hardt who preached here two weeks
ago was given due consideration
but as the reverend gentleman gave
but tentative promise of accepting,
his application was voted down and
a Rev. Evens, of New Jersey given
the call. Mr.. Evens has not given
any sermons in this part of the
country, but is placed in this field
through recommendation of several
parties who are acquainted with the
man and his abilities. He will take
up his charge the first of September.
