THERRIEN HAS FILED
FOR A THIRD TERM

Joseph E. Therrien of Pine
City, who has been Pine county's
representative in the state legis-
lature the past two terms-four
years, filed last week as a can
didate for reelection. The Pine
Poker gives their hometown man
the following write-up:
Mr. Therrien has served two terms
in the lower house of the state leg
islature as representative from Pine
county, and has good record as a
lawmaker. At the last session of
the legislature, he was chairman of
the Municipal Affairs committee, the
fifth most important committee of
the House, which was quite a rec
ignition of his standing in the House
as it was only his second term. He
was also a member of the commit
tees on taxes and laws, agriculture,
telephone, insurance, and state parks.
He was also member of COM
mittee of three, appointed by the
House, to attend a session at Madi-
son, Wis.,, to confer with like COM
mittee from the Wisconsin state leg
islature to draft laws and prepare
legislation for uniform laws of the
two states for interstate bridges and
roads. Such legislation is important
to the state and especially to Pine
county, as an interstate bridge over
the st. Croix, in Pine county, will
have to be built in the near future.
A man serving his first term in
the state legislature, is generally
more or less of a fgurehead, as he
is not acquainted and not consulted
to any great extent by the leaders
there. For that reason, it is poor
policy for any county to keep chang
ing their representative if they want
him to reach the point where he can
accomplish something for his county.
Mr.. Therrien reached the point, in
the last session, where he was con-
suited when important legislation
was planned, and his stand on all
questions was the one which he
thought the majority of his consti-
tuents in Pine county would want.
Pine county is farming community
and Mr.. Therrien was always on the
alert to guard the interests of the
farmers.
Pine county is fortunate that Mr..
Therrien has been prevailed upon to
run for reelection. 1t was only af-
ter he had been urged by folks in
various parts of the county, that he
decided to file. 1t takes lot of time
from any mans business to attend
the legislature, not to say anything
about the time put in during the
campaign.
Mr. Therrien has demonstrated
his ability as vote-getter, in the
past, and is one of the county's most
popular officials. For that reason,
many who have had aspirations to
succeed Mr.. Therrien, have waited
to see if he was going to file.
No man in this county is any bet
ter posted on taxes than Mr.. Their
rien, as he is in the abstract bust
ness, and he realizes what the far
mer is up against. He is good
man to return to office from Pine
county.

A Minnesota newspaper hands
out the, following good advice: If
you don't want to enjoy your
life and want to be real miser-
able for the rest of your days,
just start nursing a grudge
against someone who ought to be
your friend. Your soured dis
position will soon drive away the
rest of your friends and when the
grudge finally impairs your
health-as it always does-you
will have arrived at your ulti-
mate goal. This life is too short
for such things and the best plan
is to forget it."

Farmers can keep cows off
railroad tracks, prevent their
going through fence openings,
simply by laying few old
lengths of iron pipe raised an
inch or two inches above the
ground across the space that they
do not want the cows to pass

on the round pipe, does not like
it and turns back. This Cow

doing nothing. He was served with
luncheon at 1 o'clock. Just as he was
finishing, Hobson was announced.
Il expected to have seen you on the
quay" he observed coldly.
Hobson took off his spectacles and
wiped his eyes.
II guess the quay wasn't q particu-
larly healthy place for me" he replied.

much zip to them, but when they do

and tapped Il cigarette upon the table

You should have learned, during
your long experience, how to conduct

served.
"Oh, talk sense was the irritated
reply. IF It had been New York or

and you would have been spared the
trouble of getting off the steamer.
This sort OF place makes me tired,
though. I got in right with my pal
over at Nice, and he found me q man
from Marseille who was hiding from
the cops and who was willing to do
anything-the whole job If necessary
for 20 miles. He had two tries, and
I'll say he's no bungler, but Wen
dever had the devils own luck.
Where is he now--your assassin
friend" Trentino inquired.
Hiding. They saw us together
once; that's why they're watching me.
Talk about luck. My man took the
place Of a mechanic who was tele-
phoned for at Nice to see n car that
had gone wrong at Mont Agel, and he
disconnected both of the brakes of
Wendever's RollsRoyce. The fellow
ought to have gone over the precipice
and broken his neck. He managed
TO run the car along the side of a
wall and escaped by about half Il foot.
Then Morot got hold Of an automatic

"They're all so eXCitable." Hobson
agreed. 1t takes a New Yorker to

There was a brief pause. Trentino
finished his wine and lit another
