TWO MEN GET FOUR
BEARS IN ONE DAY

Floyd and Edward Nelson, sons of
Axel Nelson, who lives about twelve
miles east of Sandstone, had very
thrilling experience while out hunt
ing Monday. The two boys were
armed with a 22-caliber high powered
rifle and a shotgun. After roaming
about the woods for some time they
discovered a pile of windfalls which
they mounted to get a better view
of the surrounding territory. While
on top of the windfalls they felt it
moving and to their surprise saw bear
heads sticking out in all directions
from under the logs. Now the battle
began. Floyd soon emptied his rifle
but there were still bears alive and
coming out. Floyd ran calling on his
brother to shoot the pursuing bear.
Edward soon had his shotgun in ac-
tion and shot the remaining bears.
When they ceased their shooting
they found four dead bears-a mother
and three cubs-lying on the ground.
This was a very exciting and profit
able day for the boys as they were
fortunate in selling two of the bears
to the game warden.

BRISK SELLING ON
LIVESTOCK MARKET
Cattle Firm Under Moderate
Runs, Trade Active at Advance.
Hogs Sell at Steady to Strong
Prices lambs Mostly Steady.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics and Minnesota Department OF
Agriculture.)
South st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. Is, 1927.
An active market at steady to strong
prices featured the trade in the cattle
division today as the result of a light
run and the prospects of a curtailed
supply for the Tuesday session due
to the stormy weather prevailing. A
part load of long yearlings from the
University Farm reached $500, a
new peak on this market for many
years, these having been fed for the
International. Top commercially fed
offerings scored at $13.75, a sprink-
ling of shortfeds netted $11.0O to
$3.50 with grass steers mostly at
$500 to $1,000. She stock reached
$1,000 for fed heifers and $3.50 for
cows, the bulk going at $500 to $3.50
with cutters at $4.75 to $3.50, bulls
mostly $6.75 and down. Vealers
cleared at $11.50 mostly while stock
ers and feeders ruled steady with thin
steers turning at $3.50 to $S.75 mostly,
cows and heifers at 1925 to $3.50.
The hog market ruled steady to
strong with better grade 10 to 225 Id.
averages selling at $3.50 to $S.75.
Light lights sold at $500 to $S.25, a
few 100 to 40 lb. averages up to
$3.50. Sows bulked around SITS,
while pigs were steady at $3.50.
Desirable fat lambs were steady at
the $1,000 to $500 levels, while culls
looked steady to 25c lower with sales
at $500 to $3.50. Heavy lambs sold
mostly at $1150. Fat ewes were I'M
changed at $500 to 1925 with culls
at $500 to $500.

Commission which must be filled by
appointment and confirmed by the
Senate. The diplomatic service Of
fers opportunities for patronage.
Likewise, there are numerous minor
posts carrying titles which are sub
ject to the patronage call.
1t now seems assured that legis-
lation dealing with flood relief will
be expedited at the next session.
The disaster which overlook New
England shows quite clearly that
floods are impartial in bringing ruin
to various sections. 1t is a known
fact that the East was more or less
Indifferent to the plans for flood con-
troll through legislation, although
generous in its sympathy and finan-
cial assistance during the time of the
disaster. Now that the sectional bias
has largely disappeared, the political
opportunists who were planning to
capitalize on this legislation and grab
off some pork" such as special APP
preparations for bridges, highways,
ETC., in their particular localities will
find themselves blocked. 1t is an
old political trick to have a certain
group vote for legislation provided
they can attach rider" to the bill
which will give them political patron
age in their community. So many
states are affected by the flood relief
that party lines and sectional feeling
undoubtedly will be wiped out when
the legislation is before Congress.
Among the many other subjects be-
ing brought to the fore as the time
draws near for Congress to convene is
our merchant marine. Representa-
tive Martin B. Madden of Chicago,
who is an ardent advocate of strong
merchant marine, is in favor of lend
ing government money to private en-
terprise for shipbuilding. He is
emphatic in his view that the Amer
lean merchant marine should be pri-
vately controlled. However, Mr..
Madden will insist that private enter
prise agree to replace ships built with
government funds when they wear
out. Also, that such ships be avail
able as an auxiliary to the Navy if
the need for such use arises. This
proposal is in keeping with war time
expenditures of the government, when
approximately $3,O00,000,00O was in
vested in ships, and it naturally fol-
lows that the government should do
something with surplus funds or
funds becoming available to protect
years ago. Mr. Madden is uncom-
municative on the proposal of Edward
N. Hurley, former Chairman of the
Shipping Board, to have railroads who
have terminals at seaports extend
their transportation to the high seas
by means of merchant marine fleet.

CREAMERY AT
WILLOW BURNS
Saturday Blaze Destroys
Old Land Mark From Saw
Mill Days. Was Origin
ally Engine Room for
Planer.

The Willow River creamery and
feed store, owned and operated by
e. A. Burling. was destroyed by fire
late Saturday evening. The fire start
ed in the office and may have been
caused by an overheated stove. The
building was the original engine room
for the planer in the saw mill days,
and was built prior to the Hinckley
fire. 1t was partly destroyed later
when the planer building burned and
it was then rebuilt of brick by the
Fox Window Lumber Co. This pro-
perry was sold to the Atwood Lumber
Co., and was operated here for about
IA years when the owners moved
their interests to Park Falls. The
machinery was taken out, partly de-
molishing the building.
About 1914 it was rebuilt for a
creamery by local men, Messrs Erick-
son, Bochek, Nyrud, Halva, and STAN
ton, who afterwards sold it to the
farmers as cooperative creamery.
1t was operated by them until 1920,
when Mr.. Burling bought it. He has
had it ever since, with the exception
of a short period when Larson &
Strom had rented it, The loss is a
heavy one to Mr.. Burling as it was
only partly covered by insurance.

TWO PINE COUNTY
BANKS CONSOLIDATE

Arrangements have been made the
past week whereby the bank at Clo-
verton has merged with the bank at
Markville and the business will here
after be conducted at Markville. This
makes for stronger bank with great
er resources. Mr.. SEVERED, the cash
Ter of the C1overton bank. has joined
L. Hanson and Otto Lindgren in the
management of the consolidated bank
at Markville.
Only a few weeks ago the bank at
Brook Park was closed, it being
merged with the Farmers State Bank
at Hinckley, and now this consolida-
ton in eastern Pine county, results
in two banks less in the county.

WASHINGTON Letter
On v ODaley
- NATIONAL sDnoen ASSOCIATION spscll

Washington, Nov. 16.-VisitOrs at
the White House find it difficult to
find clue from the President as to
the contents of his annual message
| to Congress. Many of them discover
that instead of going to the well and
pumping information they have been
very adroitly interviewed as to their
opinions on national and information
al issues. Of course the advantage
is with the President in these con-
ferences, as it is not quite proper to
interrogate the Chief Executive under
| his own roof. Even the Cabinet re-
mains in the dark as to the Presi-
dents aims and detectives. There
is no certainty that the President will
accept their suggestions as to recon-
mendations to Congress. Therefore,
Cabinet members do not usually know
the contents of the Presidents mes
sage until it is actually delivered to
the Congress.
The President has the privilege of
sending his message to Congress or
delivering it in person. 1t has been
indicated at the White House that Mr..
Coolidge will have the message read
by reading clerks in the Senate and
House this year. Secretary Hoover
| has been in conference with the Pres
ident and no doubt many of his sug-
gestions as to flood relief, tariffs, and
aeronautics will find their way into
the annual message.
Aviation has achieved widespread
popularity since Congress adjourned
and more than passing interest will
be manifested in the subject at this
session. Many Legislators who would
not ordinarily acquaint themselves
with aviation matters are now giving
special attention to the question of
airpOrtS. Various communities re-
alize that in a short time commercial
flying will be extended to all parts
of the country and become a business
proposition instead of novelty. Many
localities are offering free airport
sites and are endeavoring, in some
instances, to have the government es-
tablish stations in their vicinity.
Hence, the unusual activity of con-
greSsmen.
A number of Senators and Congress
men have been obliged to return to
Washington before the Seventeen
Congress convenes. They realize
that in order to maintain their po-
litical fences they must obtain some
patronage. OF course, one of the
most desirable sources of patronage,
from a political standpoint, are ap-
pointments to high Federal offices.
As result Senators that are trek
king to the White House are extolling
the virtues of their candidates for
governmental honors. There are va
cancies in the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Federal Trade

Preventing Golfers
By H. E. LEVIN, Nj. D., Askov, Mimi


After reading the excellent editorial
in the Askov American of Oct 9th
last, one cannot help but to be in
spired to do something for the ben
eft of the home community. This
article breathes cooperation from
start to finish. The big idea in it.,
as l see it, is mutual helpful sug-
gestions.
The same idea prompts me to write
on the prevention of goiter, a most
prevalent disease in this and adjacent
localities, if the editor will kindly
publish it.
/ have observed since l have made
Askov my home that there are many
we'll developed cases of goiter or
commonly called enlargement of the
neck, and perhaps many more just
starting-in cases that could have been
prevented from starting at all, or per-
haps arrested in it's incipiency.
1t is not necessary to mention all
the causes that make one susceptible,
suffice to say that lack of iodide in
the ingested food and in the water
which we drink, is the main cause.
We at once begin to look to the source
of our water supply. You say we have
good water, it is perfectly clear just
like spring water, and your neighbor
says the same thing. This may be
all true but yet the element, iodine,
or the salts of iodide may be lacking
in that water. There are not many
wells of even clear water in this To-
cality. 1t may be clear when it is
comes amber in color. The cases of
goiter that l have seen come from a
widely scattered section, hence no
doubt but that this is a so-called
goiterouS region we are living in on
account of so many cases developing
here.
Now let us consider after having
found the cause of so many cases of
goiter what you can do to prevent
goiter from starting at all. You have
perhaps not been thinking along the
line of preventing the disease, but
rather curing it after it already mani
tests itself To prevent is safer than
waiting and be curedsafter you have
the disease. Many are the prepare
lions and brands of salt on the mar
ket containing the iodide salts. I
would strongly advise the use of these
brands of salt not only by the family
that has a member afflicted with the
disease, but by all the people in this
region. Every family should get the
habit of buying and using this iodized
salt. I do not know for certain, but
believe these salt preparations con-
tain enough or almost enough of the
lacking salts of iodide to compensate
for the lack of it in the water and
foodStuffS.
/ don't think the cost is any greater
than the common salt and it is safe
and may prevent many otherwise ser
ious cases of goiter.
Generally speaking, water should
be boiled. This is a good preventa-
tive measure. Soft water filtered
makes good drinking water.

TO CUT DOWN
TRAIN SERVICE
Great Northern Joins Pool
of N. P. and 500 Line
Two Night Trains on G..
N. and Flyers on N. P. to
be Eliminated.

The announcement was made Sat-
urday in the daily press that the pas
senger train service between the Twin
Cities and Duluth on the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific lines would
be curtailed, permission having been
granted the roads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Great
Northern will join the pool which has
been in effect between the 500 Line
and NJ P. since June 1926, so that
tickets bought in Duluth for the Twin
Cities will be good over any of the
three roads, and likewise tickets from
the Twin Cities to Duluth will also
be good over any of the three roads.
The service between the terminals
will hardly be impaired but the rub
comes in at the small towns between
the terminals. In the pool of June,
1926, the flyers were taken off on the
500 Line. The announcement now
states that the two night trains, Nos.
II and IS, on the Great Northern
the trains that carry most of the mail
and stop at all stations-will be taken
off and the two flyers on the N. P.
will be eliminated. Station Agent
A. G. Danielson at Askov, stated this
morning that he has not yet received
any information as to when the
change will take effect but likely it
will not take effect for another week
or more.
1t is understood that the two after
noon flyers on the Great Northern
will be continued as such, stopping
only at Cambridge and Sandstone be-

TO Borrow in u. s.
One result of a merger which is

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Carl Neuman, Chicago. died last
week at the age of n years. He was
born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and
had come to the United States when
he was II years old; made his home
in Chicago until 1890 when he settled
in Minneapolis. After living there
for several years he returned to Chi
cago. Mr.. Neuman was widely known
among his compatriots in Chicago and
Minneapolis as well as by many
others throughout the country, for
his poems and English translations of
Danish lyrics which he published
from time to time. They also Sc
cured for him considerable friend
ship and admiration. Neuman's
English rendering of "Dengang
jeg drog afsted"-a highly popular
song from the time of the 1864 war
between Denmark and Prussia-at-
tracted attention some years ago-far
beyond Danish-American circles.
Translated, Not Widely Read.
In commenting on the fact that
Sigrid Undset, Norwegian novelist,
has been designated as one of this
years recipients of the literary Nobel
prize, Harry Hansen, literary column
list for The World, New York, calls
attention to the fact that although
her cycle of novels, "Kristin Lavrans-
datter" has been translated into Eng
lish and published in this country as
1.-The Bridal Wreath, 1.-The Mistress
of Husaby' and THE Cross, she is
not very widely read in America. In
Europe, however, she is considered
one of the greatest of all contempor-
AIRY writers. Her novel, Jenny,
has also been made accessible in Eng
lish, but seems to have failed in its
appeal to the general American pub
lie.
Anniversaries.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. o. Bergstrom, Min
neapolis, last week had been married
sixty years. They came from Sweden
in 1S69-two years after their we'd
ding. and lived for many years in
Kandiyohi county.-Mr. and Mr.. A.
Westin, also natives of Sweden, now
residing at Scandal, Kansas, likewise
have celebrated their sixtieth wedding
anniversary within the last few days.
But a still rarer wedding anniver-
sary was that of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen
Ramstedt, Moscow, Idaho, who were
married in Sweden in 1863 and, thus,
the other day celebrated their 65th
anniversary. Mr.. Ramstedt is go
years old, his wife 81. They came
to the United States in 1869, settling
first in Indiana, later i'm Minneapolis;
since 1886 they have made their home
in the Idaho city.
