sued by President Coolidge. This
move, made at the request Of Assist
ant Secretary Andrews in charge OF
prohibition enforcement, is expected
by him to augment the federal dry
forces greatly. Prohibition officials
plan to place the local officers on the
federal staff, perhaps as dollar a year
men, since they will be serving as
federal officers in addition to their
regular duties. While local officers
in most states and cities are already
cooperating with the federal govern

ton will clothe them with full federal

Little Journeys Here and There
BIZ J. A. WE

Much credit is due Mr.. E. L.
Skog for-his thoughtfulness when
this site was selected.
G. r. Palon, whose 100 acre
farm is located on the east end
of Island lake, has about com
pleted a commodious and well
adapted barn to take the place Of
the one destroyed by fire last
September. The loss of barn, 80
tons of hay, four stacks of grain,
a Ford car, a blooded Holstein
bull, farm machinery, tools, and
many other useful things was a
severe loss to Mr.. Palon, but
courageous souls turn defeat in
to victory and so it has been
with him. His total loss was
more than $3,000-with $1,000
insurance. The new barn is 32x5O
and will house thirty head of
stock and sufficient hay to last
through the winter. Swinging
stancheons and drinking cups
will be a part of the equipment.
The new barn will cost ap-
proximately $500, and is a Gre
dit to Mr.. Palon and his COM
munity.
If you want to meet an inter
esting man go to the north bank
of Sturgeon lake and say hello"
to B. C. Wade. He will greet you
with kindness and good cheer and
you will be glad that you went.
Mr.. Wade is a man of fine char
acteristics and unusual attain
ments. He is a retired Y. M. C.
A. secretary and is establishing a
camp, yes an idea that is bound to
bring good to Pine county and
especially those who have the
wisdom to allow themselves to
come in contact with the whole
some rays of sunshine which radi-
ate continually from his new Gre
| alton. For 38 years he. was with
the "Y", serving in Colorado, Ne
braska and for thirteen years as
general secretary of the Duluth
Y. M. C. A.
He has purchased 220 acres Of
land ideally located and readily
adaptable to his needs. He will
have cottages to rent, a fine place
to enjoy oneself and recreate
through educational advantages
which he will offer. In fact i'm
proving the body and mine
through a new adjustment will
be the central idea.
If you want to improve your
self, go and see Wade. He has
already identified 1876 different
kinds of birds at his retreat.
E. L. Skog has beautiful place
on Island lake. AS a desirable
place to select a site and erect /;
summer cottage his place would
be hard to beat. When passing
by Skog's place, take the bundle
from off your stick and stop. HI
will be glad to see you.
