WHAT GOOD WILL COME OF
1T ALLs

Since the time when Lindbergh
made his historic nonstop flight to
Paris, there has been a concentrated
effort by various men and women in
the leading nations of the world to
gain a bit of like glory. Glory, it
seems on the part of many is the main
reason for the many attempted accom-
plishments, which end in disaster to
the participants land a general set
back to aviation science.
Various ones have attempted the
nonstop trip across the ocean via
airplane since the Spirit of ST. Louis"
made the crossing, but few have ac-
complished the desired results. In
many cases it appears the most in
experienced are the ones trying for
such achievements. In other words
it seems. it is another case of the
get rich quick" idea. Nonstop
flights have been made across the
ocean and these have brought good
results to the science of designing
planes with more durability. but the
impracticability of flying light air.
planes across the ocean as COM
mercial venture has also been demon
strated and it is beyond us why avi-
ators continue to risk their lives and
to hamper the progress of aviation
by persisting in such efforts.
AS we have said before in this
column, the possibility of getting in
the limelight and the prospects of
material reward, seem to have turned
enced from the thought of safety and
have led them to take such precarious
chances.
Various newspapers and others have
criticised the sponsors of further air
plane endurance flights, saying that
it can do no further good as seldom
if ever will man be called upon to
stay aloft in an airplane as long as
a week. While looking upon further
trips with light planes across the
ocean in disfavor in consideration of
all the risks and hazards that come
with it, with no visible good resulting
to mankind, we do think that the
refueling endurance flights will work
advantageOusly toward the betterment
of aviation as a whole and the air.
plane singly. With each endurance
flight which causes an airplane motor
to be run a week continuously, some
new weakness is bound to be exposed
in the mechanism which can be read
lily studied by engineering experts. In
this way motors and planes can be
further perfected so that the posi-
bility of safer air travel may be at
tanned.

A SANER FOURTH

Compared with the Fourth of 1928.
July 4th of 1929 in the nation had 46
less deaths. Statistics show that only
one person out of approximately 7OO.-
900 succumbed to accidental death
during the day. In only one depart
ment did the casualties exceed those
of last year and, that was in autOmO-
bile deaths. In 1923 deaths by auto
mobile accidents numbered "a, and
this year they mounted to 20, but
every other cause of death offered
smaller totals than last Fourth.
For several years communities and
municipalities have ordinanced for
safer and saner Fourth celebrations
and the figures for 1929 show a re-
markable respondence to the popular
wish. Not that the United States gen.
erations of today are less grateful
than those of a few years ago, but
rather they go about their celebrating
in more quiet way and the country
is far better off both materially and
morally as result. The Fourth OF
July is one of deep significance to the
true American and whether he goes
about the celebration of this great
event in a bOiSterouS and reckless way
or whether he regards his own safety
and that of others as paramount, does
not lessen the significance of his pa
triotiSm.

FIVE NAMES FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICT
FILING PETITIONS

One phase of the school election
laws that many people undoubtedly
are not familiar with is that which
governs prediction filing. For the
benefit of those who do not under
stand the process of filing for candi-
dacy on school election ballot, the fol-
lowing excerpt is taken from Chapter
3S4, Sec. 1 of 1917 Laws of Minnesota:
Any person desiring to be a candi-
date for school district office at the
annual meeting of such district shall
file with the clerk of such district
an application to be placed on the
ballot for such office or any five (5)
voters of such district may file such
application for and on behalf of any
qualified voter in the district that they
desire shall be such candidate. Such
applications shall be filed not more
than thirty (3O) days nor less than
twelve Q2) days before the annual
school district meeting"

MINISTER'S AND EDITORS LEAD

AS the fishing season is here, the
following carefully prepared list will
show what class of people can catch
fish: Lawyers, IA in 10O doctors, 9
in 100; editors, ~ in 100; merchants,
1914 in 100; ministers, 81 in 100;
bankers, II in 100; county officials,
1-3 in 100; young ladies, none; small
boy with good clothes and fine fishing
tackle, AZ in 100; small boy with an
old pair of pants on, rolled to his
knees, a white flag hung at half mast,
one "gallus," and a piece of Irvine for
line, bent pin for a hook and a
rotten corn stalk for a fishing rod,
99B in 100. 1t will be observed that
ministers and editors run higher than
any other class excepting the small
boy. This is because they are good

A TWO.WAY EXTREME

In our meandering over this sec
ton of Pine county Sunday evening,
we had occasion to notice two ex-
excusable speed maintained by some
and the other was the ineXcusable
lack of speed maintained by others.
Now, although it seems that traffic
on the highways is more under con-
troll as time goes on, these two in
stances stand out clearly. Speeding
is alright when the one INDUCING in
it, is alone so he will not endanger
anyone but himself, but when there
are other cars on the highway and
his speed removes all sense of reason
from him, then it is time that a gov
ernor should be placed on his car or
on his shoulder. Talking to a filling
station man on the pavement near
Little Falls once, we were told that
more people were arrested in that
section going thirty-five miles per
hour than there were who travelled
from forty to fifty. The answer is
found in the responsibility of the
driver. Authorities have no objection
to speed if the highway is clear in
front for distance in comparison to
the speed attained. At all times speed
excessively only where oneself is to
be looked after.
On the other hand, pOking on the
highway is almost as dangerous as
speeding, and much more provoking.
By pOking, we mean travelling at a
speed under twenty miles per hour.
Poking on the pavement shows ones
reconsideration of those going some
place. The writer noticed one poke"
on the pavement Sunday evening that
was holding up four cars besides his
own. Holding them up because there
was not time between advancing cars
to pass. In exaggerated circumstan-
ces this same example could so dis
gust some who are of necessity in a
hurry to the extent that they take
chances. of passing that they would
not have otherwise attempted, thus

LAKE SHORE PROPERTY RIGHTS

The question of property rights
along lake shores, between the gov
eminent meander line and the waters
edge has come up in the county now
and then and reader of the Amer
lean has written us to have this aired
in print. The matter was taken up
with our county attorney, M. B. Hur-
ley, and he states that the abutting
property owners on lake shores own
every inch of the land to the waters
edge and if the water recedes their
property becomes larger. The mean
der line is that line established by
the government when the original sur
vey was made and usually follows the
course of the water, but in later years
if the water recedes may be some
distance from the water line. The
meander line is established in order
to describe the lot AUDITING the water
and to ascertain the area.

Askov continued their losing streak
Sunday by letting Moose Lake take
a Is to 4 game on their own lot, while
the newly originated county seat team
by a score of to A. Brook Park was
forced into an overtime period to get
the better of Bruno 10 to 6, and Stur-
geon Lake had an easy time downing
Markville 16 to 2.
Moose Lake weathered the storm of
three of Askov's pitchers to garner
twelve hits, while KOonce held Askov
to five. Loose playing at times to-
gether with inadequate pitching
strength were the main reasons for
Askov's downfall.
and Sandstone, seven errors were
chalked up against Sandstone with
eight hits, while Pine city only had
three. errors and seven hits. The game
was fairly even until the seventh
when the county seat boys crossed
the final score and held their OPP
ponents blank during their three re-
naming trials at bat.
The Brook Park nine were forced
to extend themselves into an extra
frame in order to defeat their up
county opponents. Bruno started the
game off with bang when they
scored four times in the opening
frame and held Brook Park blank I'M
til the sixth inning when a let-up
let the south enders have six runs.
The Bruno boys tied the count in their
half of the NINTH but their hope was
short lived as Brook Park finished
the game with four-run addition in
the tenth.

KEEP RIGHT AT IT

Baseball in Pine county this season
so far has been a credit to the various
teams and to the individual players
as WELL The seasons schedule is
just half played and the windup of
the first half found several of the
teams. close on the heels of the lead
er. The game has been clean and free
from arguments. The umpiring has
been of the best and as outward dem
onstrations show, the fans are very
well satisfied.
The first half started with Sun
days game and the various teams
will be watched with much interest
by the home fans. Follow them in
their efforts and give them a hand
regardless of whether it is in victory
or defeat.
Much credit is due the Pine County
Baseball league and its directors for
placing the popular summer sport on
the present high plane that it enjoys

GRINDSTONE LAKE
SEINED BY WARDEN

With the purpose of finding out
whether cannibal fish were inhabiting
the waters, Game Warden Sheridan
Greig seined Grindstone lake recently.
Salmon trout were planted there some
years ago and since none can be
found now-gave rise to the idea of
SEEMING. Since no salmon trout were
found, it is presumed that carp or
pickerel had annihilated them An
other effort will be made later in
deeper water.
Measurements of the water in var
ious places also resulted in finding
that the deepest was ISL feet.

BUSINESS CHANGE

Mr.. and Mrs. Casper Herberg, who
formerly operated the Home Laundry
in Sandstone, but who sold their in
terests a few years ago and moved to
Duluth, returned to Sandstone last
week and again purchased the equip
ment and business of that concern
from VIM. H. Barnick. The new own
ers have moved the equipment to a
building near the creamery and have
changed the name so that in the flu
ture it will be known as the Sand
stone Laundry.

Moose Lake Wins Ball Game.
The baseball game in the afternoon
between Moose Lake and Sturgeon
Lake resulted in a win for Moose
Lake by a score of IA to Z. One of
the largest crowds of recent years
gathered at the ball park to cheer
their favOrites to win. The first four
innings proved to be a pitchers duel
between Mack Anderson for Sturgeon
Lake and Bobby" KoOnce pitching
for Moose Lake. But in the fifth,
things broke against Sturgeon Lake
with the outbreak of few hits and
the inning ended to 3 against them.
The Moose Lakers repeated the same
feat again in the next inning and
three the next, while only allowing
their opponents four scores the re-
mainder of the game
One feature of the game was the
home run by Mack Anderson, which
bounced through the right field wall.
He also struck out nine Moose Lakers.
Although both of the teams are
members of the Pine County Baseball
league, the game had no bearing on
their standings in the league.
Following is the box score:
