MYSTIC MESSAGE
ATTACKED again
Famous Magician SCOTS At Hou.
dini's Supposed Words

New York. Jan. IL (UP) - The
mystic message, believe" allegedly
sent from the realms Of the spirit
word by Magician Harry Houdini to
his widow here. was under, . new
attack today.
Joseph Dunninger. magician. and
like Houdini In his lifetime an un-
relenting foe Of spurious psychic
phenomena, was the generalissimo In
this latest effort to disprove the
validity Of the message which Mrs.
Houdini had declared convinced him
of its genuineness.'
Aiding him in his attack was .
fish handler. Joseph Bantino. %.
from the Fulton Fish market. old
stamping ground Of former Gov. Al
fred E. Smith.
Dunninger, Bantino. and small
army OF press folk descended upon
Mrs. Houdini's apartment last night.
while Dunninger without even roll
in; up his sleeve produced Bantino.
and Bantino produced a story de-
signed to cast doubt upon spiritual
ism in the "believe" message.
In a word, Bantino related that
he had courted girl who knew one
Daisy White, herself a magician and
acquaintance Of Houdini. Bantino
opined that Rev. Arthur Ford. medi-
urn in the transfer of the message,
had received it from Daisy White
who In turn had had her code and
the message from Houdini long be-
fore he eevr became a spirit.
Mrs. Houdini seemed bewildered
at this new turn. but Indignantly re-
fused to believe that Daisy White
had had her husbands confidence.
She said she had found letters from
Houdini to the woman. who. she
added, had often brought her mes
sages" from Houdini.
Not In Code
But none ever came in our secret
CODE" she said.
Dunninger then gave an exhibit
ton OF reading messages reporters
wrote and secreted. and offered
Ford $4,000 II he and his spirits
could read a message ne would
write and secrete.
Later Daisy White at Ford's
apartment admitted knowing the
fish handler and his wife slightly but
said she had never discussed Hou-
DIM with them or never had said
she got Houdini's code before his
death.
Rev. Ford observed:
Mrs. Houdini accepted the mes
sage as genuine and that Is the i'm
portant thing"
He denied having any material or
spiritual assistance from Daisy in his
communication with the world be-
yond.
This ended the nights develop
ments. Mrs. Houdini claimed still
to believe; while the scoffers con-
tinued to scoff.

Night in Haunted House

Horseshoes are used in various
forms of decoration. The writer
once spent a night in supposedly
haunted house, where the parish
priest. much against his own better
judgment, was prevailed upon to
carve crosses over the doorway and
sprinkle holy water throughout the
house to drive away ghosts. Chill
dren still believe hair from a
horses tail if kept in a bottle of
water will turn into snake.
Lucky pennies are common. Seeing
the moon over ones left shoulder
when one has money in the pocket
is a sign Of future prosperity. and
hundreds Of similar absurd and ridi
culous beliefs belle the statement
that education is driving supersti-
ton out of the country.

A cooperative oil association of as

held at the Farmers Store in Kettle

kind ever to be held in the state,
which embraced so many localities.
The new organization will combine
into one big body, numerous cO-opera-
tive stores in Carlton, Aitkin, and
Pine counties and provisions were
made whereby any other cooperative
enterprises in the district can join if
they see fit. The new association,
which took for it's name, "Co-opera-
tive Oil Association Cap, will not
only handle gas and all kinds of lubri-
cants, but also farm implements, auto
mobiles and accessories The addi-
ton of the Cap" on the name is de-
rived from the first letter of the
three counties embraced Carlton,
Aitkin, and Pine. The combination of
these cooperative enterprises will in
volve hundreds of citizens throughout
the three counties and will facilitate
buying as well as selling. About 80
representatives from the cooperative
stores of East Lake, Lawler, Crom-
well. Barnum, Moose Lake, and Kettle
River and also from the Kettle River
Creamery were present and all en-
jOyed the fine dinner that was served

sistance toward making the meeting
a success.
The headquarters of the new bust
ness will be at Kettle River, with
tanks and pumps at the member
stores. According to Mr.. Pulling of
Sturgeon Lake, the association will be
ready for business about May Is

DINESEN DISCOVERS
NEW ELECTRONIC RAY

Lauritz Dinesen of Minneapolis,
well known in Askov, and married to
a daughter of Mrs. A. Jensen, has
just completed the perfection of a
startling invention in the form of a
new electronic ray. He has invented
three distinct machines so far for
treating different kinds of foods with
electric rays of heretofore unknown
character After being treated with
these rays the food becomes sterilized
and is practically immune to deterior-
alton, and besides this the food value
of the products treated is nearly
doubled
A nationwide corporation has been
formed to market the new machines
and promote the new processes.
Mr.. Dinesen has made several other
inventions but is perhaps best known
as the inventor of the Perfection
Milking machine which is now manu-
featured in Minneapolis and of which
company he is vice president and gen.
eral manager.

RUBY BUYS PINE
CITY TIRE SHOP

Although no addition to it's citi-
zenry, Pine City will have a new
business man. Dick Ruby has pur-
chased the tire and battery shop from
Jack Webber of that city. Mr. Ruby
has been employed by Mr.. Weber for
the past five years and he is thorough
ly familiar with every phase of the
work and is acquainted with the local
public. Together with this and with
his ability in this line, he will be as
sured of fine patronage. Although
the name of the business will be
changed to Pine City Tire & Battery
Shop, the new owner will conduct it,
in the same manner as in the past
with the same lines being carried.
John B. Weber who has operated
the tire and vulcanizing shop at Pine
City for several years, has been in
poor health for some time and he
will likely go to veterans hospital for
treatment before engaging in any
other line of work.
The shop is located on highway
number one and is a convenient place
for tourists and others to stop at for
needed repairs to their tires and bat
teries.

PARKWAY PAVILION
RE-OPENS MONDAY

The 1929 spring dancing season will
be opened for the public of Pine City,
and in fact all of Pine county, at the
Fairway pavilion, Monday evening,
April 1st. The Fairway Pavilion
which is located on the county fair
grounds at Pine City, was built three
years ago, and is without question the
finest dance floor and hall within
fifty miles. Sixty feet by eighty feet
in size, so constructed that there is
not pillar or post in the dancing
space of the building, with a clear
hardwood floor that has been sanded
until it is mirror-smOOth, it offers to
the people of the county and sur
rounding vicinity an ideal place for
an evening of clean, enjoyable enter
tainment.
The dance hall has recently been
cleaned and newly decorated, and an
interesting lighting effect has been
installed with the idea that when
the dancing public-young or old
think of the best in dancing, the
thought of Pathway" goes with it.
