Buggy Smashed
When Car Hits
Hit i'm Rear by Car When Driver
Was Unable to Stop; Occu-
pants Receive Few
Scratches.

What might easily have been a
fatal accident occurred last Friday
evening between and o'clock. Jim
Novak, with his wife and little son,
was driving north on the highway,
with a horse and buggy, just out of
Rutledge, when Duluth car, coming
from the south, overlook them and
struck the buggy from the rear. The
running gear was demolished and the
occupants thrown to the ground, none
of them receiving amy injuries, except
few minor scratches. The horse,
badly frightened of course and being
freed from the buggy, ran north to
Willow River, where he was caught.
Although we'll over on his own side
of the road, Mr.. Novak carried no
light and the driver of the car could
not see the rig in time to avoid a
collision. This should be a warning
to all drivers of horse-drawn vehicles
or anyone driving horses after dark
to carry a light, as an approaching
car coming at so much faster pace
cannot see them in time to avoid a
smash.

CLUB HEARD
DIR, PEARSON
Finlayson Community Club
Told of the Toxin-Anti-
toxin Treatment as a
Preventative. Urged Use
Against Diphtheria.

At the regular meeting of the Fin
LAWSON Community club on Monday
evening. Oct. 1st, DR.. Pearson present
ed a matter that should arouse the
interest and whole-hearted support OF
the entire community. The doctor
confined his address to the subject OF
the prevention of diphtheria. He
pointed out that the death rate from
this disease has steadily declined in
recent years, due to the increased use
of the toXin-antitoXin innoculation
treatment. DIR. Pearson stated that
this treatment is regarded by the
medical profession as one of the out
standing discoveries in medical sci
ence in many years. To encourage its
widespread use our state government
through its department of health Of
fers to furnish the toxin-antitoxin
serum free of charge to the physici-
ans of Minnesota.
The treatment requires three innoc-
ulations at intervals of a week, later
followed by the Schick test to deter
mine whether the patient has become
immune to diphtheria. Unlike vac
cination for small poX, this treatment
produces no ill effects in the patient.
But also unlike small poX vaccination
the toXin-a ntitOxin treatment is use
less to protect the individual after an
epidemic has started in a community,
as it takes from three weeks to six
months for the serum to produce i'm
munity. Consequently it is to the in
terest of every community to protect
itself by innoculation of its members,
particularly it's children, long in adj
vance of impending danger. The
treatment is known to remain effect
i've for at least fourteen years and
probably longer.
DR.. Pearson made it plain that the
immunization of a community from
this dreaded disease can best be &C
complished by group action. The first
step in the direction of group action
is widespread publicity. And so DR..
Pearson made an appeal to the Fin
layson community to arouses itself to
the need and opportunity for COM
munity protection.

Large Barn Near Finlays0n
Burns From Flying Sparks
Delay Caused by Ladder Sinking
i'm Manure Pile Caused En-
tire Building to be
Raced.
ED ARTH PAINFULLY HURT

The large barn on the Pelto farm
one-haf mile east of Finlayson, was
burned to the ground Monday after
noon a few hours after the threshing
rig had begun threshing there. A
small stack of grain had been thresh-
ed in the forenoon, but soon after
starting the afternoons work, small
blaze was noticed on the roof of the
barn. All hands rushed for ladders
and other fire fighting apparatus and
side of the barn. One man had climb
ed to the roof and second was part
of the way up with pail of water,
when a third attempted to climb at
the same time. The added weight
caused the ladder to sink into the
manure pile, thus making it impos-
sible to reach the top of the barn.
This delay gave the flames such a
start together with the help of a
strong wind as to make it impossible
to do anything.
The fire was noticed by a number
of people in Finlayson almost as soon
as it had started and a car driven by
John Arth and loaded with men az
rived on the scene, quickly followed
by a truck loaded with fire fighting
apparatus. Chemicals were used, to-
gether with every possible means at
hand, but to no avail. The strong
wind that was blowing from the

NEW LIGHT MANAGER

Thos. Mcmillan of Cloquet assumed
managership of the Minnesota Power
and Light Company's office at Sand
stone last week, following the resigna-
ton of D. T. Dunweber who has ac-
copied similar position in Montana.
Mr.. Mcmillan is well known in this
community, having resided here prior
to going to Cloquet. Mr. Dunweber's
departure will be regretted by many
as he was well like at Sandstone and
handled the affairs of the company in
very capable way. After the sale
of some of his personal belongings
Friday, Mr.. Dunweber, Mrs. Dunweber
and their daughter will depart for
their new home in the West.

AMERICAN LEGION
ELECTS OFFICERS
Regular Meeting Held Monday
Night: Many Things
Planned.

Jens H. Jensen Post No. 243, of
Askov, held it's regular meeting and
election of officers Monday night and
transacted other business.
Officers elected for the coming
year include the following: A. w. Con-
away, commander; C. M. Nelson, ad-
jutant; and John Thinesen, finance
officer. A skating rink committee OF
three was appointed to make arrange
ments for an ice skating rink for this
winter. This committee will secure
the place and arrange for the flood
ing of the surface.
Legion Dance Planned.
Thorvald Jensen was appointed as
a committee of one to secure an or
chestra and arrange for the hall some
night during Armistice week. 1t is
planned to secure, if possible, the Con-
certina orchestra of New Ulm, which
is noted for it's playing of both modern
and old time music. Further an
nouncements will be made in the near
future as to the outcome of Mr.. Jen-
sens efforts.
Home Talent Play to be Sponsored
Although no definite arrangements
were made during the Monday night
meeting, it is almost certain that a
home talent play will be staged by
the Legion during the first part OF
November OF course, in view of the
fact that a play of this kind requires
a considerable amount of work and
time, it was thought best to wait un-
til most of the farm work is COM
pleted so that the members who are
to take part can devote more time to
the preparation of their various parts.
The Askov legion post in the past
has been active in sponsoring any
thing which would tend to build UP
the community and the town and it
is hoped that the coming winter will
be no exception to the rule.
After the meeting Monday night
lunch was enjoyed by the members
present, at the Hansen Cafe.

situations to be benefited are, The

thesda hospital, st. Paul; Bethesda
Old Peoples home, Chisago; Vasa

ON, THE WROND SIDE
EVERY TIME
tombstone Epitapb)

We we're amazed last week to
read the legislative record OF
Judge Phillips, Republican can.
didate for Governor.
From an analysis of that re.
cord we were compelled to reach
the conclusion that the judge
was on the wrong side of every
measure of Importance to the
people of this state including the
Santa Fe Compact and the direct
primary law. AS member of
the Sixth Legislature from Mar.
icopa county the judge was out
of step with every progressive
measure introduced at that ses-
sion. The Repu blican candidate
for Governor in 1924. voted
AGAINST the following bills:
A minimum wage law for wo.
men of this state.
A minimum wage for school
teachers in this state.
A hospital for aged and de.
crepid miners to be built from
the sale OF federal lands donat-
ed to the state for this purpose.
A home for orphan children.
The Japanese Exclusion Bill.
The Republican candidate for
Governor voted YES on the rati.
6cation of the Santa Fe Com.
pact; be voted YES to abrogate
The direct primary law.
II is fortunate that the vote of
Judge Phillips On these meas
ures was not the decisive vote.
If so, many of the progressive
welfare laws of this state would
never have found their way into
the statutes.
There is no disputing the re-.
cord. There it stands in black
and white in the archives of the
capitol building and that record
stamps Judge Phillips as dyed
in the wool reactionary.
We anticipated that Judge
Phillips, in his speeches in Ora
ham county, would choose to
explain his vote against these
progressive measures but the
Republican candidate for Gov.
ernor chose to ignore them.
AS a legislator Judge Phillips
was a dismal failure. His record
in one branch of the state gov
ernment does not justify his ele
vation to the position of chief
executive.
