TRY
POST OFFICE

Sometime late Tuesday nj & h t
thieves broke into the Askov post
office by prying open one of the win
dows and attempted to blow the safe,
but left before they had completed the
job and stole nothing.
Upon arriving at the office few
minutes after o'clock Wednesday
morning, Postmaster Svend Petersen
discovered that one of the windows
was open and upon investigation, it
was discovered that a hole had been
drilled in the top of the safe to a
depth of two and one-half inches and
in which had been poured quantity
of highly explosive powder. But be-
fore the job of setting the powder
off was completed the one or ones
involved in the crime were evidently
frightened away as nothing else was
touched and a careful check-up failed
to reveal that anything had been stOl-
en-.
Just what prompted anyone to at
tempt robbery of the Askov post
office is hard to explain as there is no
considerable amount of money kept
there in the safe at any time
Access to the window was facilitat-
ed by a ladder which had been car
ried from a nearby lot and which was
found lying near the window on the
ground.

MAY LOSE EYE.
RESULT OF FOG
Raymond Blasio is Injured When Car
i'm Which He Was Riding
Crashed Into Bridge. .

Raymond Blasjo, farmer in the
Denham community, may lose the
sight of one of his eyes as a result of a
collision with the railing on Q bridge
over Kettle River west of Willow Riv-
Ell Saturday night.
In company with his brother Oscar
and Arthur Swenson, Raymond was
returning home from Willow River
and upon approaching the river, fog
was encountered to the extent that
view of the road was totally obscur-
ed and before the car could be stop
ped, it had struck the railing of the
bridge. The impact, besides badly
demolishing the car threw Raymond
through the windshield causing him
to receive severe cuts to the face and
the possible destruction of one eye.
He was Immediately rushed to Willow
River, where the wounds were dressed
by DR.. w. C. Ehmke, after which he
was taken to a Duluth hospital Sun
day where he is receiving specialized
optical attention.
The other occupants of the car re-
ceived only slight injuries.

OmWdshhGtonL Letter
BY " NDaley

Washington, August 14-No Adde'S
cent school boy has ever manifested
more interest in romantic fiction of
the serial type than is accorded the
serialized story of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, former Assistant Attor-
ney General of the United States, in
charge of prohibition enforcement.
Recognized as one of the stormy pet
rels of the last political campaign,
Mrs. Willbrandt's retirement from the
government service under fire of crit
icism has riveted attention of politi-
clans and reformers on her written
account of her life in official Wash
ington.
Though only a few chapters have
been printed they have provided a
sensation in the form of a back-wash
from the Presidential campaign of
1928, and in certain quarters consid-
cradle concern is apparent as to what
Mrs. Willebrandt may say of her asso-
ciates in the Department Of Justice
and of the Coolidge Administration.
She has already thrown a bomb-shell
into the Republican National Commit
tee and Washington, and the country
as whole is awaiting further revela-
lions. The Willebrandt memoirs are
expected to take new turn when our
national forum is opened later in the
month by the converting of the Senate

Moose Lake placed another nail in
the championship lid to the Pine
County Baseball league Sunday when
it defeated the Willow River team by
a score of to 3. After getting all
their hits in the first frame, the Will
low boys were held hitless and score
less the remaining innings of the
game.
Brook Park nosed out Pine City by
a 5 to score on their own stamping
grounds in ten-inning battle to re-
tain their close position behind the
leading Moose Lakers.
Sandstone sent Sturgeon Lake home
with the small end of Is to ~
score, after Sturgeon Lakes eighth
inning rally, which Melted them Z
scores, proved in vain. Westman for
Sandstone went on hitting spree and
pounded out singles and a double
in as many times at bat. Cunningham
for Sturgeon Lake coaxed the pitcher
into giving him three passes to first
base and then double crossed him for
three hits during his other three times
at bat.
Askov and Bruno did battle for
the cellar honors and the former won
the decision by a IL to II score, in a

man, the three-year old son of a
Swedish-American couple. who has
just completed a trip all by himself
from New York to GOthenburg, Swed-
en-, on board the motor ship, "Kung-

voyage the lad became immensely
popular with the passengers and en-

acted as the boys "governess.'

LUTHERANS WILL
PICNIC AT PARK
NEAR MARKVILLE

The Lutheran churches of Mark
vile, Kingsdale, and Erie will be
hosts at a big all-Lutheran picnic at
Riverside Park next Sunday, August
IS, to which they invite all Lutherans
within driving distance. The picnic
is given for the purpose of promoting
fellowship among the Lutherans of
this vicinity and it is hoped that a
large number of churches will be rep
resented.
An outdoor church service will be
held at 1890 a. m. This will be fol-
lowed by picnic dinner. People are
asked to bring their own picnic lunch.
Coffee will be served free to all. The
afternoon program will begin at 2:30
and will consist of musical numbers
and an address or two. Outside speak
ers are expected to be present for the
occasion.

the net result of the expose has been
to give the equal rights movement a
severe set back. Leaders among organ
lied women, especially of the profess
sional class, frankly admit that the
latest sensation coming from the pen
of one who had risen to the heights
of the legal profession is bound to
stir old animosities against women
and retard the progress of the wo-
mems movement. This viewpoint is
best explained by the wholesome fear
provoked among politicians that wo-
men cannot step down from high
places of political honor gracefully
and refrain from commenting upon
their associations. In fairness, how
ever, it is pointed out that the WILLIE
brandt case should not be taken as a
criterion of all professional women
The Willebrandt sensations have tenn
porarily eclipsed the tariff and other
important political matters.
