EASTERN PINE is
SHOWING PROGRESS

In travelling out over the county
one encounters nearly all kinds of
roads especially now while there has
been so much rainfall. The road from
Sandstone, or rather at the corner
three miles east of Sandstone, to
Markville, known as State Aid Road
No. 10, is a highway that has been
much improved of late years. This,
has been brought about mostly since.
the eastern portion of Pine county
was made a commissioner district
some years ago and which is ably
represented by Nels Matson of Wilma
township, it being the Fifth commits
sioner district. Folks along the 500
line together with their commissioner
have fought hard to have this road
improved and it is a credit to them
in their foresight and aggressiveness.
Only few of the twenty-five miles
remain to be graded and some of the.
spots have been graveled.
The cooperative creamery at Mark
vile is also forging ahead and is the
means of making good dependable
income for the settlers. AS reported
in last weeks American the creamery
there manufactured 123,S56 pounds of
butter in 1927 for which the patrons.
were paid $4S,763.6O. During the first
six months of 1928 it manufactured
II, 1856 pounds of butter and the pa
irons received for this S27,5S6.02,
showing a substantial increase. The
creamery has been operating but
about three years and much credit
is due Editor C. A. Babcock for his
untiring efforts in soliciting a big
percentage of the farmers in that
community to become members. Har-
ry Duncan and others were also very
active in the organization of the
creamery.

PHYSICAL TESTS GIVEN
PINE COUNTY PUPILS

Pine county boys and girls will put
aside their books for a time this week
and submit to an unusual type of test
"a health inspection. Miss Cathe-
rine Mckay of the staff of the Min
nesota Public Health association start
ed work this week checking up on the
physical condition of the school pu-
pills. This program forms a part of
the tuberculosis prevention program
financed by Christmas Seals.
Inspection of school children has
for its purpose the discovery of those
handle capped by physical defects such
as poor eyesight or hearing, malnour-
ishment, or other conditions which
retard both their healthful develop
ment and their school work. Weigh
ing and measuring of each child, vi
sion and hearing tests, inspection of
the teeth and throat, and general
study of health habits is included in
the inspection. From Pine City, Miss
Mckay will go to Brook Park, Sand
some, Cloverton, Willow River, Bruno,
Askov, Hinckley, Finlayson, Markville
inspection of school children is OF
vital Importance in the campaign to
prevent tuberculosis" bulletin from
the Minnesota Public Health associa-
tion, which sponsors the work, ex-
plains" Children whose resistance is
lowered because of malnutrition, de-
fective tonsils and adenoids, or other
conditions that endanger health be-
come easy victims for tuberculosis.
By finding these cases early correc-
tion is possible before the child is
seriously injured.
Nurses make no attempt to dag
nose or treat. Their job is to pick
out the children whose inspection
shows them below par physically and
refer them to their family physician
for treatment. Parents are urged to
act promptly upon receiving notifica-
ton that their children need atten-
tion."

WASHINGTON Letter
By " pDaley

National Committee. The royalty oil
contract was renewed last January by
DR.. Work when he served as Secre-
tary of the Interior, and which his
former associate in the President S
Cabinet, Mr.. Sargent, now holds in
Washington as to the ambitions of
Dr. Work in the event of Mr.. HOover's
election. 1t is pointed out that in
appreciation of his services as the
campaign leader DR.. Work could take
his pick of Cabinet portfolios, pre-
ferably as Postmaster General or Sec
rotary of the Interior, two posts
which he held under the present Ad-
ministration. The bestowal of these
awards could be prevented by the
small but powerful group of Senators
who have been devoting years of
study to the oil leasing problem and
the incidental scandals.
The Federal Trade Commissions
Investigation of the public utilities
financial methods and propaganda
has at last struck real snag. The
smooth sailing of the Commissions
inquiry came to an end few days
ago when the power interests decided
to fight back. They had previously
given the Commission and it's agents
free hand, but changed tactics when
they reached the conclusion that the
Federal investigators were running
rough-shod over the utilities. The
conflict came ito a head when the

AUTO DEALS
DEATH TO BOY
Son of Prominent BerOun
Farmer is Victim of
Speeding Auto on Pave
ment at Beroun Friday;
Dies Saturday.

Joseph Chalupsky, Is, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert C. Chalupsky of Be-
roun, was hit by speeding auto Friday
evening and received injuries which
caused his death the following day.
Young Chalupsky was scuffling with
several others in the Beroun garage,
owned by Jim Hejny, when suddenly
in an unexplained manner, he ran out
of the door of the garage and into the
path of a speeding auto which was
passing south on the pavement
through Beroun. Bystanders on the
scene report that the accident seemed
to be unavoidable inasmuch as the
boy ran so suddenly into the path OF
the oncoming car. it was impossible
for the driver to swerve or slow down
in time to avoid hitting him. The
driver of the death-dealing car was
DR.. H. Guy Taylor, dentist of Du-
luth, who stopped his machine and
made arrangements to rush the in
jured lad to Pine City where a doc
tor administered aid, but to no avail.
Although at first it was thought that
the injuries to the lad would not prove
fatal, he gradually grew worse until
at 10 a. m. Saturday, the last spark of
life suddenly left him.
Joseph Chalupsky was born on
March 81, 1913, at Palouse, Wash
ington, and came to Pine county with
his parents in 1916. He has made his
home since with his parents on their
farm near Beroun. He is survived
by his parents, 2 step-brothers,
sister, and two brothers, all
of whom reside at or near Beroun
with the exception of one step-brother,
who is at Washington, D. c.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday morning at the Catholic
church at Beroun with Faher Gillian
officiating.

Washington, October 24-Just at a
hopeful that the oil scandals were
safely locked away, an opinion by the
Attorney General of the United States
cancelling the contract of the Sinclair
Crude Oil Producing Company in the
Salt Creek field has projected an un-
wholesome subject into the limelight.
1t is regarded as only natural that
the Democrats should endeavor to
make campaign material from the
latest development. Yet, the political
wiseacres feel that the decision of the
Department of Justice chief will have
far-reaching effect, apart from par
tisanship.
1t is conceded that the controversy
over oil leases and bribery in con-
nection with these government con-
tracts will again take it's place as a
leading source of debate before the
Senate and House. The average voter
knows so little about the details of
these entanglements that the effect
of this late action on the election is
merely a matter of conjecture.
A fortnight before the election a
chain of powerful daily newspapers,
who have been incorporating in
their support of Herbert Hoover for
President, have served notice on the
Republican candidate and party that
the cancellation order of the Attorney
General is a political death warrant
to DIR. Hubert Work, the present Ma
tional Chairman of the Republican

pounds Prohibition from all Angles
i'm the ID. B. s. Hall at ASkOv Tues
day evening.

Upwards of three hundred people
from the Askov and Sandstone COM
munities gathered at the D. B. S. hall
at Askov Tuesday evening to hear the
Rev. Roy L. Smith, pastor of the
Simpson M. E. church of Minneapolis,
talk on prohibition under the auspices
of the w. C. T. U. organization. The
speaker had given talk at Pine City
in the afternoon before coming to
Askov and it is reported had a good
audience there.
The Rev. Smith was introduced by
Louis Olsen, who in few well chosen
words told of the former appearance
of the speaker at Askov and men
toned his regular talks over the radio,
and in closing asked that those pres
ent give Rev. Smith a rousing cheer
of welcome.
A glowing tribute was paid by Rev.
Smith to the farmers and settlers in
stamina and determination which has
enabled them to hew from the will
derness, such beautiful homes that
are to be found here in Pine county.
Prohibition Was Main Theme.
In speaking of Prohibition Rev.
Smith voiced the fact that it is a
common belief among people who par
take of alcoholic beverages, such as
beer for instance, that it is good for
the body stating that it contains food
qualities, as does bread. This may
be so, said Rev. Smith, but in order
to get as much food value out of beer
as one would get out of a loaf OF
bread, he must drink Is gallons, and
in that Is gallons, one would be TAX
ing enough poison into his system to
kill II men. He also stated that it
has been between so and 60 years
since the government has endeavored
to control the liquor traffic and used
this argument to refute the mistaken
idea that some have, in regards to
prohibition increasing the number OF
bootleggers and not only increasing
them but causing them to come into

TURKEYS RAISED ON
PINE COUNTY FARM

That Pine county is we'll known for
it's dairy products, cattle, potatoes
and rutabagas is known fact but
there is also other kinds of farming.
Hogs play some part as do sheep and
chickens but the raising of turkeys
is not so universal. The other day
the editor of the American visited a
farm northwest of Willow River where
the gobblers were singing their songs
merrily. 1t is the farm of David
GOranson and he has about lis of the
gobblers. They are of the Mammoth
Bronze variety. Mr.. Goranson stated
that he ships many to the Twin Cities
and other places, usually dressed, and
some of them weigh up to % pounds
when so prepared for the market.

COURT AIRING
DISTRICT CASES
Court Was Called to Order
With Prospects of Two
Weeks Work Ahead; Rail-
way Cases Settled out of
Court.

Judge Alfred P. Stolberg convened
District Court at Pine City last Mon
day, October 22nd, for session which
will probably last two weeks. The
grand jury was called on Monday and
after some deliberation returned one
Indictment This was a liquor case
and the accused parties are Harry
Schwartz, Roy Ladeau, Frank Smith,
Joseph Goldberg, and Lawrence Nc
Carthy. These parties were appre-
hended last July near Pine Lake while
operating large still and are accused
of manufacturing liquor unlawfully.
Whether or not they will stand trial
or plead guilty is not known at this
writing.
Two divorce cases were disposed of
by the Judge, the divorces being
granted in both cases. Josephine Ket-
tula was granted divorce from Isaac
Ketula, and Anna Mae Alderman
was given a divorce from Gustave L.
Alderman.
Three of the railway cases which
were scheduled for this term of court
were settled and a fourth one was
transferred to Crow Wing county.
This promises to shorten the court
term considerably as it was generally
thought that these cases would drag
out through several days. The petit
jury was called into action on Tues

Business Man With Reasonable
Capital, Utilizing New Meth
DDS Has Greater OppOrtuni.
ty Than Ever Before,
Says DIR. Julius
Klein.

The status of the small Independent
merchant in our present commercial
structure is a subject which has re-
ceived much attention of late from
economists and students of business
problems. In a pamphlet issued re-
Gently by the Commerce Department
entitled practical Aids to the indie
pendent Merchant" the question as to
whether he has a secure position in
the development of business in this
country is not only answered emphati-
cally in the affirmative but it is point
ed out that 'the reSourcefulness and
freedom of action of the individual
will always go far toward offsetting
the advantage of large-scale opera
tions of the more complicated organi-
zations."
However, the fact is emphasized
that in this era of changing business
methods the merchant who refuses to
consider the new order of things must
give ground to his more efficient COM
petitor. According to DR.. julius
Klein, Director of the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, the
Independent business man with rea-
sonable capital willing to utilize new
methods and take advantage of new
conditions has greater opportunity
today than ever before.
Independent Merchant Can Render
Social Service
The Independent merchant who
functions intelligently as purchasing
agent for his community, he points
out, has distinct opportunity to
render a real social service. The
principal innovation introduced by the
large corporation is the newer type
of management and the recognized
value of large-scale economies; but
big business has no copyright on pro-
fitable methods and mere bulk is by
no means necessarily synonymous
with efficiency.
Government Furnishes Information.
The small business man who is
striving to keep pace with changing
conditions is often hampered by not
knowing where to go for the trade in
formation he wants. There are in the
Government service vast sources of
knowledge of real practical value to
him. 1t was for the purpose of point
ing out these sources that the Depart
ment of Commerce decided to compile
brochure briefly outlining the ways
in which it can be of value to Amer
lean business men, particularly to
those merchants who do not have the
facilities to carry on special investi-
cations or to collect information on
their own account. The Department,
it is pointed out, functions to assist
business by undertaking, in full CO.
operation with those to be served, the
fact-finding Investigations which bust
ness men, either collectively or indi-
vidually, can not conduct to better
advantage for themselves.

Much HeraIded Finish of
Small Merchant is Not Yet
MOTHER INFORMED BY
DREAM

What is probably the most
singular and peculiar Occurance
leading to the finding of dead
body, occurred ut Bass Lake
near McGregOr recently when
Mrs. +. V. Thompson dreamed
that her son, ElnOr William
came to her i'm the night and
took her hand and placed it on
his forehead which was cold.
This made such an impression
on the mind of Mrs. Thompson,
that she went to the cabin of
her son, only to find him dead
i'm his bed.
The mother did not even
know her son had come from
Minneapolis where he had been
working, but so vivid was the
dream, she was led to believe
that If she went to his cabin,
she would find him.
