RUFFIANS VISIT
WILLOW RIVER

Sometime between 1 and a. m.
Monday morning, thieves broke a
small window near the front door of
the Willow River garage and gained
entrance through the opening. They
ransacked the stock and carried away
approximately IL auto castings, 1 loud
speaker, King radio set and the cash
register. They left the register along
the pavement near the Rutledge ga
rage and it was found at about 1O:45
Il. m. Monday by a Willow River man
and was apparently none the worse
from the ordeal.
The owner of the Willow River
garage estimates the loss to amount
to approximately between S15O and
5000.
The Criminal Apprehension depart
ment of the state of Minnesota is
now working on the case.

AUTO TRAFFIC DEATHS
INCREASING RAPIDLY

Louis Kelehan of st. Paul, insurance
director for the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau Federation, this week is sending
out over the state an appeal to all
farmers to exercise caution in driving
this fall and winter, particularly in
view of more extensive use of high
speed cars, and coming days of slip
perry highways.
with an annual death toll of ap-
proximately $4,000 lives as a result
of automobile accidents" said Mr..
Kelehan, this nation is fast earning
the unenviable distinction of building
up the largest cemetery in the world
for traffic victims.
"A large percentage of these lives
could be saved, if drivers generally
would exercise common caution on
the road.
Zone might visualize this annual
sacrifice of $4,000 lives by thinking
of the complete humiliation of a
prosperous American community of
$4,000 population. But because these
deaths occur here and there singly, or
in groups of two or three, and are
spread over the year, the average citi-
zen seems to pay little attention to
this mounting menace"

MORE BUTTER|N
CENTRAL WEST
Six or Seven States Manu-
facture More Than 80 Per
Cent; Pine County Doing
It's Share Toward This
Output.

The production of creamery butter
in the United States has doubled in
the past decade and reached an ag-
gregate of approximately $500, 100000
pounds in 1927, the largest in history,
according to C. D Norris of Chicago,
in an address at the annual conven-
ton of the National Creamery Butter
makers Association in session in st.
Paul today. More than 80 per cent
of this butter" he said, lis manu-
featured in six or seven of our central
western states, thereby showing that
this section is not only the bread
basket of the country, but that it also
furnishes most of the butter to go on
that bread"
This is rapid gain in the dairy in
dustry during these short years and
everything points to even greater ac-
complishments in the future. Pine
county is fortunately located in the
heart of one of the greatest subdivi-
sions of this section and is fast be-
coming one of the recognized leaders
of the industry in the state of Mime
sofa. AS was published in this paper
few weeks ago, there are fourteen
cooperative creameries contained
within its boundary, together with
several other privately owned con-
Germs.

Washington, November 21.-The Of
fetal watch word in Washington is
wait until Hoover returns from
South America" This attitude &C
counts for the growth of speculation
as to political patronage and as to the
future of the incoming administration.
The feeling prevails here that the
President-elect has put over double
barreled stratagem in leaving this
week for a goodwill tour of the Latin
American Republics. First, by going
outside the boundaries of the CONT
mental United States Mr.. Hoover has
cut the cables and other lines of COM
munication with the hordes of poll
ticians and office-seekers who had
planned to harass him for jobs rang
ing from high places in the Cabinet
to fourth class postmastership and
messenger jobs.
With the social season in full swing
conversations at White House recep-
lions and other official affairs turns to
the problems of the Hoover administra-
ton. The most over-worked CONVEX
sational phrase in popular usage here
is the speculative II wonder if Mr.
Hoover will appoint, etc." This query
ordinarily brings forth as many diff
ferent replies as there are people in
the room. which shows quite clearly
that rumor rather than real authori-
tative information prevails even in
official Washington. The practical
politicians cannot help but admire the
adroit method exercised by President
elect in passing the buck" or to put
it politely, placing the responsibility

A MOOSE LAKE MAN
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Chas Swanson, Moose Lake N. P.
section foreman narrowly escaped
death few days ago when he took
hold of a power line wire that con-
tanned $4,000 volts. Swanson re-
ceived word that a fire was burning
on the right-of-way near the 500 line
overhead near town and went there
to investigate. Swanson thought it
was a brush fire and reaching out to
throw a wire out of the way, was
knocked to the ground in an uncon-
scious condition. The wire that he
took hold of contained $4,000 volts
and seemed to have gone entirely
through his body.
Swanson said when he became con-
scious after few minutes, he had a
severe bump on his head, caused from
landing in a pile of rocks, where he was
thrown when he took hold of the
charged WIRE One of his legs was
slightly injured.
He was able to return to his home
unassisted, however, and upon exam
ination there, it was found that a
neat hole had been burned in the sole
of each of his socks, but his feet were
unframed. He did not work the fol-
lowing day, as he was still weak
from the experience.

STATE RECOGNIZES
ANOTHER STRETCH OF
PINE COUNTY ROAD

Charles A. Forbes of the State
Highway department recently wrote
a letter to County Commissioner Nels
Matson, designating Ia mile
stretch of road east of Cloverton as a
State Aid road. This same stretch
was afterward inspected and ap-
proved by the Board of Commission
ers. This road leads to the Wiscon-
sin line and connects with Highway
No. 35 there. This, together with
approximately 300 miles of other
State Aid roads in the county will be
benefited by the new tax amendment
just voted in at the general election.
