WILLOW RIVER is
ORGANIZING BAND
Supt. Weinberger Takes Lead in
Plans for Community Ofganiza-
ton; Hibbing Instructor En-
gagged to Give Lessons Weekly.

A community and school band and
drum corps for the youngsters in the
grades is being organized by Supt.
Maurice j. Weinberger of Willow
River, and arrangements, have been
made whereby Prof. Erwin H. Kleff-
man, musical director and instru-
mental coach from Hibbing, Mimi,
will visit that place once a week for
instruction.
New instruments have been ordered
from the factory and are expected to
arrive in Willow River in about three
weeks, when work will commence in
earnest and continue throughout the
summer months.
The band is open to men, women,
boys and girls of the community.
Sponsors of the plan believe it to
be a worthy project and good OPP
portunity for learning music, and de-
clare that with everybody in the
community boosting, success ought to
attend the efforts to make this band
a pride to Willow River and a source
of enjoyment for the community in
the future"

it advisable to wink at the facts. Now
the Senate insists upon an investiga-

Though Legislators have awaited the
applause of the nation for the indig-

the enormous amount of campaign

correct the situation. 1t is true that
there are laws on the books at present

GOV. SMALL CROWD
BEATEN IN ILLINOIS

Early returns from the Illinois
election, or young civil war;" in
dictate that the Lowden-Deneen
candidates have been successful in
ousting the Governor Small-Frank
L. Smith-Robert E. Grove follow
erS.
On the face of these returns, it
seems sure that Small was de-
feated for the governorship by
Louis L. Emmerson, secretary of
state, and that Smith, twice denied
a seat in the United States senate,
had been beaten by Otis F. Glenn,
Republican opponent running on
the Deneen ticket. Robert E.
Grove, incumbent Cook County at
torney, lost his office to Judge John
A. Swanson, it was believed.
There naturally had to be kill
ing in Chicago, so gangsters shot
to death Octavius c. Granady,
Negro lawyer, and Deneen candi-
date for twentieth ward commit
teeman. Six men in a car drove
alongside of Granady's automobile,
firing four shots into his body. A
companion of his was critically
wounded.

No Appeal.
The court of appeals at Albany, N.
Y, has denied an appeal motion filed
in behalf of Ludwig Halvorsen Lee
who has been sentenced to death for
the murder of Sarah Elizabeth Brown
ell and Selma Bennett in Brooklyn,
N. Y, in July of last year. Lee is a
native of Norway, and his compatriots
in Greater New York, feeling that the
testimony upon which he was con-
victed, was inadequate, have sub
scribed fund for the purpose of hav-
ing the death sentence subjected to
revision. Now that the court of ap-
peals has spoken, he has only one
possibility of escaping the electric
chair-that of executive clemency
which, however, is considered i'm
probable.

Light Runs; Lambs and Sheep
Scarce; Vealers Open Steady
and Close Stronger.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies and Minnesota Department OF
Agriculture.)
South st. Paul, Mimi, April 10, 1928.
Closing trade in the steer di-
vision found sales on a weak, to in
spots, 15c lower basis, while the she
stock continued to move on a fairly
active basis. Vealers opened steady
and closed somewhat stronger. Sew
eral loads of lightweight steers and
long yearlings sold at $1,000, with
bulk of the steers and yearlings sell
ing at SLIPS to $3.50. Most of the
fat cows turned at S7.25 to 1925, with
bulk of the heifers from $3.50 to
$3.50, cutters clearing from 1915 to
$500 largely, and medium grade bulls
from $7.75 to $500. The close of the
vealer market found a range of $11.50
to $3.50 in effect, with the bulk
around $11.75.
A healthy undertone continued to
prevail in the hog market, and the
deal worked out steady to around 10c
higher. Hogs averaging from ITO to
around 225 pounds sold from $3.50 to
$50, with other medium and heavy
butchers selling from $S.25 to $3.50,
14O to 100 pound averages cashing at
$7.75 to $S.25. Sows bulked at $500,
pigs $7.25.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
very light although the market was
quoted about steady with good to
choice fed wooded lambs saleable from
s15.75 to $16.75, kinds on offer selling
from $1,000 to $1,000, according to
weight and finish. Fat ewes were
saleable at $500 to $1,000. A double

BALL LEAGUE
PLANS ARE UP
Willow River Fires Open

game Countrywide Or
ganization; Askov also
Takes Steps.

With the opening of the baseball
season in the big leagues on Tuesday
of this week, considerable impetus was
given to the plans for forming an
other countrywide league, similar to
the one two years ago when the AskoV
team won the pennant.
Firing the opening gun, Willow
River already has completed plans
for a team, and elsewhere from
throughout Pine county word comes
that several other towns are planning
to put teams in the field.
Lots OF Material.
Willow River reports an abundance
of material for a good team, and the
American correspondent from that
place declares that with the interest
already shown by the people of the
community, Willow River should turn
out a winning team
The merchants and business men
of Willow River are getting back OF
the move in full force, and are donat-
ing numerous articles of merchandise
and other valuables, which will be
sold at a big dance this Saturday
night, being given for the benefit of
the town baseball club.
Others Likely to "Speak."
Naturally, some of the other towns
around the county will have plenty to
say, and no doubt several winning
teams" soon will be in the making.
Steps to form a club in Askov>Will
be taken at a meeting of fans called
for Monday night, April 16, in the
town hall.
Two years ago, there were six towns
in the Pine County League, and it is
hoped that at least that number will
have teams this year.
The towns represented in 1926 were
Sandstone, Bruno Willow River, Stur-
geon Lake, Beroun and Askov.

PLANS DISCUSSED
FOR EGG CONCERN
North Star Farmers Club Takes
up Organization Proposal at
Meeting of Group; Would Es-
tabIish Station at AskOv.

At the North Star Farmers club
melting Tuesday evening the matter
of organizing a new egg and poultry
association came up for discussion.
Hagbarth Bue of Northfield, and a
representative of the De Soto Cream
cry Company, Minneapolis, were pres
ent at this melting and explained the
new enterprise.
This organization proposes to estab-
lish an egg station at Askov and ship
all eggs via railroad direct to Mime
apolis. There would be one man in
charge of the Askov station who
would pay cash for all eggs and would
pay the local market price and at the
end of each month a dividend would
be. paid according to quality and
quantity delivered, it was pointed out.
Members and non-members alike
can sell eggs to the association. The
organization expects to pay a high
cash price.
There was nothing definite decided
at the Tuesday evening meeting, but
it will likely materialize to some
thing in the near future.
Those interested in the affair are
asked to communicate with A. P.
Jensen.

Special Time for Stressing
Need for Protection.

The week of April % to % has been
proclaimed by President Coolidge as
american Forest Week." during
which time especial emphasis is to be
laid upon the necessity of protecting
the timber stands of the United States.
Proponents of the plan point out
that Minnesota should be particularly
interested in it's proper observance, as
there is no state in the Union where
it is more important that the energies
of the people be directed to the pro-
lection of forests from fire; refores-
tation of denuded areas, making the
timber crop an annual asset of in
creasing value, and preserving the
scenic beauty of the state.
The Presidents proclamation con-
tains a recommendation that COVER
nors of the various states name one
Week. as Arbor Day. In accordance
with the wishes of the President,
Governor Theodore Christensen has
issued the following proclamation:
Climatic conditions in Minnesota
make it desirable to observe Arbor
Day little later in the season.
Therefore, 1, Theodore Christianson,
governor of Minnesota, do designate
May 4 as Arbor and Bird Day, and
ask for it's observance by our citizens
as individuals and through their var
ious organizations and especially in
the public schools"

LAKES GROUP
OPENS DRIVE
Gov. Christensen Asks All
Citizens to Unite Efforts
to Make 1928 a Big Year
For Minnesota; Agricul-
ture to Have Prominence.

Citizens of Minnesota are being
asked by Governor Theodore Chris
Hanson to lend their support to the
$4,000 advertising and publicity
campaign being waged by the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association, to sell
the state to the nation and the world
The campaign will open officially
on April Is, according to proclama-
ton of the governor, and approximate
ly 400 communities will cooperate in
raising the necessary funds to carry
on the work successfully during 1928.
The week beginning April Is will be
known as "Ten Thousand Lakes
Week..
Work BrOadened.
The 1928 advertising and publicity
campaign of the Ten Thousand Lakes
association will mean more to the
people of the state in general, than
any previous campaign, say officers
of the organization, because of the
fact the work has been broadened to
include more activities than ever be-
fore.
This year, agriculture will be given
more prominence than ever. Adver
tisements to be placed by the asso-
citation in the national field, will in
vite inquiries for farm property. Mo-
ton pictures which were taken last
summer, and which will be used
throughout the United States to tell
the story of Minnesota, contain many
agricultural scenes. The new illus
trated Minnesota booklet will have
an agricultural section and many are
the efforts that will be used to es-
pecially attract new citizens to the
state.
HOtaling i'm Charge.
Work on the 1928 advertising and
publicity campaign now is well under
way, according to H. C. Hotaling, Sec
rotary of the Ten Thousand Lakes as
ISOLATION, and state tourist commits
sioner.
More than $4,000 already has been
contracted in national display adver-
Using and the thousands of maps,
booklets, the new motion pictures, and
the exhibit which the association will
sponsor at the National Outdoor Life
Exposition in Chicago,-Will be addi-
tional. Mr.. Hotaling believes 1928
should be a banner year so far as
the tourist business is concerned.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Dr. Mikkel Hindhede, International
ly famous Danish dietician, has re-
turned to his home in Copenhagen
after a visit to several American CT
ties. Upon his return he was inter-
viewed by reporters whom he told
that prohibition in the United States
must be considered gigantic joke"
he said that liquor is easily obtain
able for those who have the money;
Its the price, not the law, that pro-
hibits," he added. DR.. Hindhede, him
self a prominent total abstainer, is
convinced that prohibition of the
American type in the long run is a
deterrent and exerts paralyzing in
fluence upon nation. The inter-
view with the returning doctor called
forth several protests in the Danish
press. some writer's insisting that it
was an utter impossibility for even
the keenest observer to form a definite
opinion about life and manners in a
country as vast as America after a
short stay here.

ton of legal liability" an amount

Norway in connection with the care

the University of Illinois at Urbana
few days ago. He lectured on char

development has followed historical
lines and therefore has been slow
rather than startling and sensational.
He also brought out the fact that the
