the finest messes ever served at the

Will Meet.

A. M. De Young of Wilson.
Wis, who was here about three
weeks ago to look up the posi-
bilities of establishing a tele-

to take. In conversation with a
number of local folks Mr.. De

If there are enough who want
phones Mr.. De Young is prepar-
ed to go right to work on build
ing the lines and establishing the

pared to build a system that will
adequately cover the community

enced telephone construction and
repair man and with help will go
right ahead and build the lines
himself if enough want phones to
warrant it's establishment.

month for rural phones on party
lines and $3.50 per month for
business and private phones. II

TEN INNINGS TO
DECIDE WINNER
Brook Park and Askov
Played Interesting
Ball Sunday.

The base ball game between
Brook Park and Askov on the
Askov grounds Sunday after
noon was one Of the most closely
contested games seen here in
many moons, requiring 10 in
nings to settle the supremacy OF
the day.
The score at the end of the
ninth stood 4 and 4 but Brook
Park added tally in the tenth
while Askov was unable to score
in their half although they had
the bases filled when the last
man struck out.
p. Westerman for Brook Park
and J. Hyldahl for Askov both
pitched good ball each striking
out IL men. F. Woods was on
the receiving end for the Park
ers and M. Slott for the locals.
The Parkers connected for IL
safe hits, two of which were two
baggers while the Askov boys
were weaker on the stick getting
only 8 hits. one Of which was a
sacrifice. Brook Park had total
of 6 errors and Askov a like
number.
Honors for star fielding of the
day undoubtedly went TO Brook
Parks short stop, Hooker. al
though he was credited with one
error. but outside of that did
splendid work and fielded in a
professional manner.

ISSUE BONDS FOR
ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Pine County Commissioners
Vote Bond Issue of
$4,000.

At a special meeting of the
board of county commissioners
held at Pine City Tuesday it was
voted TO issue county reimburse
ment bonds in the amount OF
$4,000, the proceeds thereof to
be spent on the improvement of
highway No. l in this county.
These bonds will be issued un-
der a new law passed by the last
session of state legislature and
will be paid for as they mature
out of the State Highway fund,
the automobile tax, so will be no
direct burden on the county road
and bridge fund.
As like sum will be forthcom-
ing from the federal government
on account of this being a fed
era road, it is planned to pave
several miles-from the south
county line to about Hinckley. A
gravelled road will not stand up
for the traffic that Highway No.
is loaded with and hence it is
figured that paving is cheaper in
the end.
A number of people from the
south end of the county appeared
before the board and argued
against the bonds. Official
minutes of the meeting are pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.

lean reunion have been abandon

plans, will result in the stablish-
