against his proposal.
After stating the moral influence

by It's efficacy in staying the re-
Gently threatened Chinese Russian
hostilities Abbott declared . further
agreement was necessary to place
upon nations the moral obligations Of
refraining from supporting war Is
wen as from making war.
He then introduced this resolu-
ton:
DIT shall be the declared pol.
icy of the United States to Withhold

such expectation shall be unlawful
unless c lgress .l.ail provide other

This suggestion" he said,
gives effect to the proposition that
to support . war is just exactly as
violative of the spirit Of that pact

"And If all parties to the contract
would adopt 4 similar piece Of leg

DENHAM FARMER
MISSING A WEEK

ChaS. Johnson, 53, living APP
prOXimately ten miles northwest
of Denham, has been missing
since last Thursday afternoon at
4 O'Clock.
When last see he left the house
i'm his usual manner, but without
a coat, and nothing was thought
of the matter until after a cOnSid-
cradle length of time when he did
not return, the family became
worried and a search was imme.
diately started, which has cOntin-
ued until the present time and
which took some sixty men into
the woods and swamps surround
ing the home Sunday. Upon in
veStigatiOn, 1t was found that the
revolver he usually kept under his
mattress was missing. So far no
trace of him has been found.
Mr.. Johnson was married and
has two grown boys, the youngest
of whom is living at home. No
cause can be explained for his
disappearance.

2 YOUNG men
ARE ORDAINED
C. C.. Rasmussen and J. Nor
Jensen Now Pastors of
Lutheran Church.
Large Gathering Witnesses
Impressive Ceremony
at Askov Sunday.

Sunday, September %, was an
eventful day in AskOv and in the his
tory of the Danish Lutheran church
men who grew to manhood here, Carl
C. Rasmussen and Johannes Mortensen
were ordained as pastors in the Dan
ish Evangelical Lutheran church.
The ordination, under the direction
of Rev. P. Kjolhede of Crawling, Mich,
took place at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. Rev. Kjolhede was assisted by
Rev. TIL. Knudsen of Ryslinge, Den
mark, who is presently on a tour of
Danish colonies in America, and the
local pastor, o. H. Dyreborg. The
impressive ceremony was witnessed by
large congregation that filled the
spacious church. All three pastors
Dyreborg about the Importance of
the mission that the young men are
to enter upon and their possibilities
for good, Rev. Kjolhede on preaching
what they live in and not so much
book knowledge, and Rev. Knudsen
stressed warmth first and then light
and sunshine afterwards. The SER
mons were all very ably handled by
these men who have been tried and
were of the kind that must be heard
to be appreciated. To endeavor to
repeat in print what they said would
only be diminishing their value.
After the morning service dinner
was enjoyed in the basement of the
church.
At the afternoon meeting Rev.
Knudsen gave an historical review
of the Ryslinge church in Denmark
which was very enlightening and in
teresting, especially to those who
originated from that part of Denmark
and those who are following events
in the mother country.
Folks gathered again for an eve
ming service at o'clock. At this
time the two young pastors, Johannes
Mortensen and Carl c.. Rasmussen,
spoke briefly about their entry into
their chosen work and expressed the
desire that they may be of help to
their fellowmen. Rev. Knudsen de-
livered another sermon in which he
said in part that as ministers grow
older in the work the holy sacra-
ments become more and more impOs-
ing and stand out as the most i'm
portant task that they have to per-
form, the work that they find most
comfort and sOlace in. Many hymns
were sung by the congregation
throughout the day and Rev. Dyre-
borg closed by expressing deep
thanks to the aged ordainer, Rev.
Kjolhede, who is IS years old, to Rev.
Knudsen for his good sermons and
his beautiful language, and to all
those who had helped make the day
festive. Refreshments were again

Moose Lake Baseball Team VIII
Enjoy Banquet as Honor
Guests Oct. l.

Many of the baseball boys of Pine
county will be present at a testi-
monial banquet at the Rubinell cafe
in Sandstone Tuesday, Oct. 1, ar
ranged under the auspices of the Pine
County Baseball League to honor the
personnel of the Moose Lake champion
ship baseball team.
The principal speaker for the oc-
casion will be DR.. ]. o. Werntz of

sic for the occasion
The honor team was the winner of
both halves of the split Pine county
league baseball season, having gone
the entire route with the loss of only
one game. Although they were de-
feated in the first contest of the state
associations elimination tournament
by Chisago Lakes, the boys staged a
game fight and took their loss like the
good sports they have been all sum-
mer.
Tickets for the affair will be sent

each team who wish to attend will see
their respective managers.

ALBERT LEA WINS
BASEBALL TITLE
Defeat Springfield i'm Final Contest of
State Baseball Tourney ut
MankatO Sunday.

Moose Lake, champions of the Pine
County Baseball league defeated by
Chisago Lakes, Chisago Lakes defeat
ed by Osseo, and Osseo defeated by
Springfield, was the bit contributed
by the northern end of Minnesota to
the 1929 State Amateur baseball elm
inatiOn championship. Springfield
was in turn defeated in the final con-
test of the tourney by Albert Lea by a
score of to 2, after they had emerged
from the semifinal game as victors
over Osseo by the ferocious attack
of pitcher Bob Thompson, who al
lowed no hits and no runs during the
whole nine innings while his mates
were getting twelve scores. Only
three batters reached first base and
one of these was given his pass after
he had been struck out and when the
catcher dropped the third strike.
If the first inning could be washed
from the scoreboard, the final game
might have been different story, for
after allowing five runs to cross the
plate in that frame, Thompson of no
hit and no-run fame settled down and
only through two errors were the win
ners able to score again.

Two petitions for setting off lands
from one school district to another
were granted by the county board in
their regular session at Pine City
last Monday while a third petition
was denied. Jim Hosek's petition
asking to be set off from District No
II to No. was granted as was also
the petition of Chas. Christensen

among those submitted.
A petition was also before the board
relative to a road in the towns of
Keene and Dosey, but no action was
taken on this.
A permit was granted to Archie

Another important item of business
was the decision of the board to adj

These bids will be opened at the next
meeting of the board.

StdrUeS Himself.
Dies In Shack

With only two pieces of toasted
bread and can of coffee to sustain
life Herman Hemming, age about IS,
was found dead in his shack about
four miles west of Kettle River Mon
day by neighbOrs, who had been
watching him for the last few months.
Indications were that Hemming had
gone violently insane before death
came, as his clothes and other be-
longings were strewn about the house
in all corners. Even the old excelsior
mattress that he slept on was scat
tered over the entire house.
He was of a misery disposition and
would lead one to believe that he
was very poor, but investigation at
the bank of Kettle River and neigh
bors brought out the fact that he
was fairly we'll to do and had con-
siderable money loaned out in the
Kettle River vicinity, also that he had
money on deposit in the bank.
Mr.. Hemming left Finland several
years ago and came to this country
leaving his wife and two children be-
hind. AS near as can be ascertained,
his wife refused to come and live
with him so that he spent the balance
of his days working at odd jobs be-
tween here and Duluth but making
Kettle River his home.
The Body was removed to the Ham,
lin Morturary at Moose Lake and
burial took place Tuesday morn
ing with Rev. Chas. Swanson officat-
ing at the grave.
