Turkey Visits Cops
And is Put in Cell
Awaiting Owner

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-
Everything was quiet last night
on the front at which the
Twentieth and Berks streets
station is the outpost, when
Into the place through the
front door walked a turkey.
But the turnkey would not
believe he saw the bird. He
cleared his throat huskily in
defiance Of the apparition,
which had halted before the
busy house sergeant's desk.
The turkey cleared its throat,
too. of a gobble the like of
which perhaps never before had
been heard in a police station.
The house sergeant rose from
his chair and the turnkey
tackled the turkey. When the
fuss and feathers subsidized the
turkey was in a cell pending
search for it's owner.

South st. Paul, Mimi, April 1, 1929:
An uneven but in the main strong

market today, steers and yearlings
showing the most strength. A few
yearlings sold at $500 with other
desirable part loads down to $3.50,
best carlot S12.25, bulk of the crop
selling at $11.00 to $1,000. Common
and medium fat cows cashed at $3.50
to SS.75 with comparable grades of
heifers at $S75 to $1,000 while cut
terS were most numerous at $5.75 to
1913, bulls $S.75 down. Stockers and
feeders cleared at steady terms for
lightweight offerings, half fat and
fleshy material selling in line with
fed steers and yearlings. The vealer
market was around soc lower, range
of $1,000 to $1,000 taking good lights
with the bulk at S11.OO to $115O

bulk of the lights and butchers selling

lights and pigs were cleared at $11.OO
with sows at $1,000 mostly.
Although trade was slow in the
sheep division today the trade was on

higher levels on lambs. A few loads
and part loads of fat native and range
lambs cashed at $3.50 to $16.75 with

were fishermen, and naturally some
of them sailed on the sea.
One hundred years is long time
to look forward, and few live to see
it. The past seems not so distant as
we live in the present and contem-
plate it, but century produces great
changes in human affairs. During
that period of time family names
may become almost extinct through
death, marriage, and migration. The
names of children then are now but
a memory, and more often not even
that
The old land is there, but most of
the forests have been gathered in
either for timber or wood; some of
the old fences are still intact; while
the houses of those days are prac-
tically gone; some have been destroy
ed, some moved, and others remodel
ed.
Old familiar faces are gone. The
men who cut the timber in the for
rolled them into the open fireplaces
are at rest The women who piled
their evenings care" with open tin
ovens by the fireplace, and movable
crane hanging over it prepared boun-
teous meals for hungry workers, they,
too, are no more.
The old river, representing as it
does the Meramichi District, still
flows irresistably on. Time and
chance shape the destinies of man
kind, but river, while it may be
damned and diverted, still moves on

ing to the sea 1t is least affected by
time and man in the development of
civilization. So the old Meramichi
river still remains as it was a hun
dred years ago. 1t carries less logs
on its stately bosom; fewer boats
float on it's placid waters, and scarce
ly ship is launched. A railroad, the
harbinger of civilization, reaching its
banks has placed huge piles of rock
and cement on each side, and in the
river bottom, to carry it's heavy steel
Orders, which in turn bear the heavy
trainloads of commerce. Fishermen
still fish in it's waters with seines,
taking out heavy loads of Tommycods
and smelts and larger fish as well,
although not in such great quantities
as heretofore. Tourists are coming
in and finding a paradise for rest

MOOSE LAKE HOTEL
AND CREAMERY SOLD

The morning of April 1 saw two
der new management. The new
Moose Lake hotel and the Moose
Lake creamery were involved in the
transactions.
The deals were closed Saturday
whereby Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Peterson,
owners of the hotel, sold out to Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Matyas, and the
creamery company, owned by C. L.
Walther of Randall, E. j. Henry of
Albert Lea and Axel Meyerton of ST.
Cloud, was sold to George Wester-
man of Dodge Center, Mimi, and ].
A. Peterson of this place, the latter
first owner of the creamery.
Last June j. A. Peterson sold out
the local plant because of ill health
and since then operated a creamery
in Aitkin, Mimi, which he disposed
of when he purchased the Moose Lake
hotel from Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hyatt
last October In the hotel venture he
was very successful Then Saturday
he sold the hotel to Mr.. and Mrs.
F. Matyas and the same day closed a
deal for the creamery, which he mad
built in 1926. George Westerman is
the buttermaker and has had much
success in that line. The consider
alton in this deal was the same as Mr..
Peterson sold the plant for in June,
with the addition of about $4,000 for
improvements which have been made
since.
The hotel was sold for the same
amount which Mr.: Peterson paid for
it last fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matyas> have had con-
siderable experience in the hotel bust
ness and the present good service will
be continued with whatever improve
ments their experience might suggest.

Washington, April 3.-Though the
special session of Congress which con-
venes April Is was called primarily
for farm relief, the public interest in
the subject is obviously at low-tide.
Perhaps it was the inspired campaign
arguments that brought the farmers
political and economical troubles to
the fore. The question uppermost in
official circles is not what may be
accomplished by legislative action on
agricultural and tariff matters, but
as to the time of adjournment. 1t is
no eXaggeration to say that Legislators
are more concerned over the posi-
bility of prolonged controversy keep
ing them in Washington in hot wealth
err than with the outcome of the first
extraordinary session. 1t is predicted
that the members DESTROYS of travel
ing at the taxpayers expense will ar
range to vote for junkets, as useless
official trips to places outside Wash
ington are popularity known. 1t is the

up to the adult stage.

ANNUAL LOOP
GAME is PLAYED
AT SANDSTONE

In the annual basketball game be-
tween the "city slickers" and the
farmers" at the New Theater on
Thursday, March %, the result was
the farmers" emerged the victors by
a score of 10 to 16. The winners took
an early lead and were never behind
although the losers came within a
point of tying the game in the third
quarter.
A capacity crowd was in attendance
and seemed to take a real interest
in the different ways which each side
demonstrated the art of basketball.
BY winning the game this year, the
farmers have gained the advantage
in games won, as they defeated the
"city slickers" two years ago also
Last year they were defeated, so the
series stands two to one in their favor.
A neat profit was realized, which was
divided between the Sandstone base
ball club and the COW testing aSsOci-

A Century of Time Works
Great Changes In Mankind
WEST OF KERRICK
HAS MAPLE WATTS

Chris and George BornhOft,
who live west of kerrick, have
for several years been making
their own maple syrup, but have
conceived the idea of making it
in commercial quantities to the
end that they have recently in
stalled a sugar making outfit.
This outfit consists of building
housing several cement furnaces
which are built to heat large
pans or watts of maple syrup at
one time. This. together with
other equipment, will also en-
able them to make sugar.
The Bornhofts have approx
mately 400 sugar trees tapped
and are already gathering the
sap and making the syrup.
Just another addition to Pine
county's industries.
