Harry A, Ironside, Bible teacher and evangelist, preached last even ing at the Peoples church upon Bible study, He said in part;

Confer ences for Bible study are being held in every direction. Theological schools have few students while the Bible institutes are crowded with those who want 10 know how 10 un- derstand and use the Bible. The people have been so long starved in the churches that they are demand ing food, How to study this book is of great importance.
 There are four ways Of study that have found to be helpful. First. study 1t from the literary or historic viewpoint. It is reliable history and sound science. The very portions at- tackled by the modernists were o. K'd by Jesus.

AUTOTSTS ARE WARNED
AGAINST CARBON GAS

When the OIL bus finally does start
these cold days it throws off a dense
fog Of carbon moxide gas which IS
as deadly as any of the war-zone
gasses and twice as dangerous be-
cause It is not so generally feared.
1t is always a suicidal risk to stay
in small garage with the car run
ming, especially if the machine is
just being warmed up after standing
cold for some time.
Another thing to watch out for is
leak in heaters or exhaust pipes in
closed cars. Often such leak fills
the car with moxide gas, but so
slowly that the occupant doesn't
notice it and is overcome.
Many people are too careless in
this respect; they feel that they've
inhaled a lot of auto gas in their day
and such warnings as this must he
meant for somebody else. Sometimes
q person really can stand quite a gas-
sing and net be affected, but its just
like drowning, the fatal experience
comes to you but once, and The Jour
nal doesn't want to have the" told
you SO" bulge on any of its friends.
So be careful

BALDWIN BLAMES AUNE
FOR STEALING SLOGAN

A couple of weeks ago The Journal
made mention Of Osseo's broadcast
ing station and the fact that the an
nouncer Unidentified his location as
The Biggest Little Town in Wiscon-
sin" the same slogan used for many
years by Baldwin.
H. A. Aune, formerly of Baldwin,
is principal of the Osseo schools, and
the Baldwin Bulletin lays blame for
this "steal" onto Hans.
The Bulletin comments as follows:
We didn't kick so much when Hans
Aune moved his furniture and family
to Osseo, but if he aided in moving
"Our" slogan, "The Biggest Little
Town in Wisconsin. to 0sseo (as
used over the radio there) we are 60
ing to put up an awful yell.
This slogan is not copyrighted but
just the same everyone remembers
our town by its splendid original
slogan and we don't like to have it
copied by any either village.
We believe we were the first to use
it and see no reason why we should
have to defend it.
Osseo, if you want slogan, call
your town the biggest in the U. S !,
or the biggest in the world, but
please let us have our own, as an or
iginal slogan.

state that have telephones installed
in them.
The Postal Laws and Regulations
forbid giving any information over
the telephone, whether there is mail

in MILL MACHINERY

Baldwin.-William Somsen of the
Woodville elevator Co. had narrow
escape from death last Wednesday
afternoon, when they were elevating
flax He went into the basement and
leaned over the line shaft to reach
something on the other side and the
shaft caught his coat under the arm.
BY an irstant's hesitation he would
have been wound around the shaft
and pounded against the floor until
he may have been battered to death.
As he felt the pull Of the shaft he
caught hold with his hand and held
on. His clothing was torn from his
body. AS his trouser band was
drawn in, the strain was so great
that the motor belt slipped from the
pully Mr.. Somsen still hung on.
When the shaft stopped he was SO
tightly tied that he could not release
himself SO he called for help. Elmer
Rasmussen who was ON the main
floor heard him and came immediate
ely. He had to cut Mr.. Somsen's
clothing from the shaft.
A doctor was called at once from
Baldwin.
Mr.. Somsen is painfully bruised
but luckily is not seriously hurt and
is up and has been seen down town
again. We hope his recovery viii be
rapid Bulletin.
