W. H. Kaltenborn, managing editor
part of the summer in Denmark where
he was one of the speakers at the
American Independence day celebra-
ton at Rebild National park; on other
occasions he addressed Danish audi
ences, and he also broadcast an adj
dress in which he told of his impress
sions of Denmark. Mr.. KaltenbOrn
has contributed a series of very in
teresting articles on Denmark and
Danish culture to his paper; it is his
intention to gather his writings on
Denmark into volume which will be
published in New York this fall.
Plan is Cancelled.
The Swedish American Steamship
line has Cancelled it's plan for the con-
struction of new transatlantic
steamer owing to the fact that no ac-
ceptable offer had been received from
European shipyards, and also because
the National Origins clause of the
immigration Act became effective a
month ago, cutting down the Swedish
immigration quota very considerably
The Norwegian America line likewise
has Cancelled it's elaborate plans for
a new liner-also because of the Ma
tional Origins clause

and examiners as Mr. Eshelby, the
swimmer is privileged to wear Red

RUTABAGA SEASON
OPENS IN ASKOV

In spite of the extremely hot and
dry weather the local produce buyers
officially opened the rutabaga season
here Monday morning.
The first load to come in was haul
ed by John Thinesen and was sold to

Lund came little later with load
to Louis Olsen which also brought S25
per ton. Both the local buyers re-
each ship a carload.
The average run of roots is small
and are not of very good quality. They
are hard to keep on account of the
warm weather.

CLAIMS BATHER.
Young Duluth Man browns
While Others Look on
Helplessly.
Eagles Picnic MARRIED by
Tragedy at Camp Edel-
weiss Sunday.

Sturgeon lake claimed its first vic
tim of the summer season late Sun
day afternoon when Fred Oselle, 80,
of West Duluth. sank to his death
while others watched from the shore
helpless in their efforts to get to him
in time.
Mr.. Oselle. with his wife and two
children, were picnicking at the lake
with members of the Fraternal Order
of Eagles from Duluth. Near the hour
of four o'clock in the afternoon, after
eating hearty meal, Oselle ventured
out in boat alone TO take dip.
After diving from the boat into the
water, he apparently became paralyz-
ed and sank before those from the
go to his rescue.
Diving attempts to locate his body
proved futile and dragging begun late
in the evening and continued until
late Monday afternoon at which time
his body was finally located in eight
feet of water The body was then
taken to Duluth for burial.
Accident Spoiled Picnic.
The sports program which was in
dulged in by many of the 700 mem
bers of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
from Cloquet, Superior and Duluth,
who were present at the picnic, was
abruptly brought to an end by the
sudden pail of gloom which the drown
ing tragedy cast over the resort Many
took part in an endeavor to find the
body, while others, with saddened
spirits wandered here and there with
aimless thoughts. Until late in the
night car lights and flashlights were
brought into play in an effort to find
the body.

PINE CITY STORE
CHANGES OWNERS
Piper Furniture and Undertaking
Establishment is Taken Over
by Wisconsin Men.

With the removal of A. w. Piper.
who during the past week sold his
furniture and undertaking business,
Pine City will eventually lose one of
its oldest and most prominent figures.
Approximately thirty years ago, Mr..
Piper came to Pine City and started
in a small way to handle furniture
and during this time he has built up
an extensive business which is a
glowing tribute to the sterling quail
ties of its founder.
During his residnce in Pine City,
Mr.. Piper has not only employed his
time in the conduct and development
of his private business, but he at all
times, found time to devote much
energy and influence to the conduct
of civic and community affairs. He
has been member of the school
board and other public offices of trust.
He now holds the office of superin-
tendent of the M. e. Sunday school,
as he has for almost the entire time
he has resided in Pine City and has
always labored hard and long for
things that would better the church
and his community
Although the people of the county
seat and surrounding territory, who
know him personally will regret to see
him retire from active business, they
will nevertheless rejoice in his deci
sion of giving himself we'll deserved
rest.
The Pipers will remain in Pine City
for time but at some future date
they expect to go to California to
make their home
New Owners Experienced.
The new owners, Goodrich Bros,
come to Pine City well recommended,
they being owners of furniture stores
at Durand and Menomonie, Wis. P.
w. Goodwich, one of the owners, will
make his home at Pine City and will
take personal charge of their new ac-
quirement. Elmer Carrier, who for
several years has been in the employ
of Mr.. Piper, will remain with the
new firm.
The business will be carried on as
before with full line of furniture,
radios and pianos being handled to-
gether with an up-to-date undertaking
establishment being maintained.

A Magic Egg

THERE are many easy tricks
L that can be performed with
eggs. Here is one that surely will
enable the conjurer to give his
audience a surprise:
The magician shows his audi
ence two pitchers, both Of which
contain water, one being full and
the other about one-half full.
The conjurer places a fresh, raw,
unbroken egg in the latter
pitcher (the egg can. be gaily
colored) and the audience is sur
prised to see the egg float. Nc
fresh egg should do thati
Next the magician picks up
the pitcher filled with water and
proceeds to fill the other pitcher
to the brim, pouring slowly and
carefully. AS he, does this he
gives his audience another sur
prise. The egg slowly rises until
it is about half way between the
top and the bottom Of the pitcher
and there it floats, suspended, as
it were! Here is the secret:
One pitcher is half-flled with
a strong solution of salt and
water. The egg is put in this
and floats. Then this pitcher is
filed slowly and carefully with
the fresh water contained in the
other pitcher. The egg being too
heavy to rise, remains floating on
top If the salt solution.

How to Play the Game
of "LOttery"

THE game Of lottery"
which is a corking game for
a crowd, is played with two
decks Of cards, one red and one
blue, or some other contrasting
colors. The red deck is shuffled
and cut by a player, who is Sc
lected (by cutting or otherwise)
to be the banker. He lays out
n row of three cards from the
red deck, face down, and then
below them another row of three
cards, face down. He then puts
the red deck with all the remain
ing forty-six cards face down to
n side.
The banker then takes up the
blue deck and deals them all out
as far as they may 60 around
the table to all players. Another
way, and one which creates more
thrills, is to auction off the blue
deck to the players, auctioning
two, three, four or five cards at
a time.
After the blue deck is disposed
of among the players, and not I'M
til then, the banker places the
prizes on the six red cards that
are lying on the table face down.
On the first three cards in the first
row he places valuable prizes.
