Kind Fate Seems
To Watch Over
Finldys0n Lad

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Ryan of Finlayson
feel that there is surely kind Provi-
dence looking after their little boy.
Last winter he was very near deaths
door with bronchial pneumonia and
even the doctor held out no hope for
his recovery. But he was spared as if
by a miracle. Wednesday of last
week, about noon, he was again in
grave danger and saved. The Wards
extract man had called at the Ryan
home and soon after he left, the little
fellow, now year and half old, was
missed. The family searched the
farm for him, even an open well, but
no trace of him could be found Re-
Numbering his fondness for cars, his
mother telephOned to neighbOrs to find
the extract man. He was located at
the Dale Ryan home, some three miles
away, and asked if the little one was
in his car. He was much surprised
of course, but went to look and found
the child on the opposite side of the
car, lying sound asleep on the run
ming board. His clothing had caught
on the hooks that hold the hood down
and so saved him from falling off.
The little fellow was promptly re-
turned to his anxious mother, none
the worse for his strange ride.

Many Friends and NeighbOrS Gather
mt the Geo. {. Jensen Home
Friday Night to Honor
Them.

The quarter-century milestone OF
happy married life has been passed by
Mr. and Mrs Geo. c. Jensen of the
Askov community and the date was
appropriately kept by themselves in
the presence of many friends, neigh
bors, and relatives at their home five
miles north of AskOv Friday night,
August %. The evening was spent
with social visiting, in the course Of
which A. P. Jensen, brother of the
honor gentleman, gave a short talk
appropriate to the occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Jensen were mar
ried twenty-five years ago in Mime
apolis where they afterward resided
for two years when they moved to a
suburb, st. Louis Park, where they
made their home for ten years and
where Mr. Jensen worked at his trade
of carpentering. In 1916, the family
moved to the 80 acres five miles north
of Askov which is still their home.
Three children have been born to bless
the Jensen home, two girls and one
boy. Irene (Mrs. James Murphy
lives at Bruno, while Lydia and Clar-
ence are still at home.
Congratulations to the couple and
best wishes are extended by the Amer
lean and friends for long and happy
continuation of their married life

SIX INJURED
IN AUTO CRASH
c. NJ. Laursen Car of AskOv, is Struck
by Auto From Fox
bOrO, Wis.

An automobile accident took place
a mile north of Askov Sunday eve
ming just before dusk in which six
persons were more or less injured and
shaken up, however no serious in
juries.
c. M. Laursen who resides 3 miles
north of Askov, was driving home,
northbound in his new Ford sedan.
He was accompanied by his two young
sons and his brother, Jens Laursen of
Scranton, Iowa, and the latters two
small sons who were here on visit.
C. M. was at the wheel and his broth
er at his side. The other car, south
bound, Ford coupe, was occupied by
four men, Robert Bliss, driver, Joe
Sovik, owner of the car, Frank Marks,
and John Stankavicz, all from Fox
boro, Wis, who had been home to
spend Sunday and were returning to
Sandstone where they are employed
with an extra railroad gang putting
in new ties on the Great Northern
railroad.
Another car was driving just ahead
of the Sovik car and in attempting
to overtake it the Sovik car plunged
into the Laursen car coming from the
opposite direction. Both cars were
badly damaged, the Sovik car being
almost a total wreck. c. M. Laursen
was bruised in the head and also on
both arms and Jens Laursen was cut
on the right knee, but neither was
hurt to the extent that they required
surgical attention. The four boys
in the rear seat were shook up but
not hurt to any extent. All four men
in the other car were cut and bruised
to the extent that they were taken
to Sandstone for medical attention.
One man had laceration on top of
the head and the driver was bleeding
from cut on the right ear.
The accident apparently was an
other case of three abreast on a road
that permits only two cars to meet
comfortably.

probable that it will be under fire on
the eve of the Congressional elections
next year.
Washington is interested in the re-
vival of the report that Mr.. Coolidge
may be asked to run for the Senate.
Warning factions have disrupted the
Republican organization of Massachu-
sets, and it is felt that only an eXcep-
tionally popular candidate can win
next years senatorial election A for
mer President in the Senate would
shatter the ancient tradition. John
Quincy Adams was the only President
who went to Congress afterward, and
he was member of the House.
1t is difficult to picture Mr.. Cool
idge in the Senate, the body over
which he presided as Vice President
His return to the political arena
would not accord with his expressions
of relief on laying down his official
burdens and his apparent contentment
with the quietude of private life
However, those who are personally
acquainted with Mr.. Coolidge believe
that if he should choose to run fol
the Senate he would not permit q
little thing like precedent to stand
in his way.

farm near Carlton. This leaves Gron-
ingen with but one general merchan-
disc store again, which is conducted
by Mr.. Haglin.
An auto accident occurred on the

in which both cars were badly demol-
ished and the occupants, all from
outside the county, more orless cut

snpsn EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION YscH

Washington, August 2S.-For many
months whenever men conversant
with political affairs have gathered
together in the Nations Capital the
subject has turned to the much moot
ed question of tariff revision. Last
week it was thought that the tides
had turned and that the tariff would
lose its prominence for short while,
at least. But, just as the Republican
members of the Senate Finance Com
mittee turned with feeling of relief
and pride from their completed labors
they were Immediately met by blast
of denunciation from a member OF
their own party.
The committee was looking forward
to few days of refreshing vacation
and believed that it had earned a
respite from the harassments of crit
icism. Senator Borah of Idaho, who
is often referred to as the lone wolf
of the Senate, denounced the measure
as a violation of Republican pledges
to agriculture and demanded its de-
feat This latest bombshell gives the
tariff controversy different complex
ion, and no one seriously expects now
that the bill will be disposed of al
the extra session. 1t is generally be
lieved that its consideration will rur

CAR THIEVES
,APPREHENDED
Two St. Paul Youths Use
Four Stolen Cars in
Two Days.
Caught by Posse East of
Pine City Wednesday
Morning.

Two ST. Paul youths started out
from their home city Monday to steal
automobiles and were successful in
appropriating four cars before they
were captured. Apparently short of
funds their principal difficulty seemed
to be that the various cars ran out
of gasoline and hence they shifted
from one car to another until appre-
hended by authorities the second day
of their dangerous adventure.
George Danielson, Is. and Leo
Molner. Is, both living in Rice street,
St. Paul, began Monday evening by
stealing a Buick car belonging to DR..
L. Hinicker of that city. They drove
this car as far as Beroun where it
was abandoned in a ditch and they
took the Chevrolet coupe belonging to
Leonard Machart, assistant cashier of
the Beroun State Bank, and drove it
to Duluth. In Duluth they left the
Machart car and stole a Maxwell
coupe. They came to Sandstone in
this and left it some distance out of
town, then walked to town and loiter-
ed around for a while and at about
S o'clock Tuesday afternoon jumped
into DR.. B. S. Bohling's new Buick
sedan and drove toward Pine City.
Immediately after the DR.. Boiling
car had disappeared the sheriff's Of
flee at Pine City was notified and Of
ficers were on the trail of the thieves.
The boys drove up to the Biederman
oil station and were about to get
gasoline when they saw the officers
coming and shot away without get
ting their gas and drove around
Cross lake on the dirt road. Motor
PatrOlmen Carl Holmberg and Rich
ard KOwalke were on their trail. The
thieves set very speedy pace and
raised so much dust that it was diff
ficult for the patrolmen to get near
enough to make the arrest. They
however trailed them closely and it
was not long before the thieves ran
the car into the ditch near the Munich
farm and hurried away on foot. The
tenders of the new car were damaged
considerably.
Citizens in the neighborhOOd formed
a posse and searched for the boys,
capturing one of them at 3 a. m.
Wednesday and the other, five hours
later, at s o'clock. A number of pop
bottles were found in the last car
that the thieves had used but no ILL
cit brew. DR.. Boiling recovered his
Buick car the same evening it was
stolen.
Young Danielson and Molner were
taken to Pine City after their capture
and lodged in the village lookup.
They were brought before Judge Rob-
ert Wilcox in juvenile court and were
turned over to the Ramsey county
juvenile court. The boys have pre-
vious police records.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

A short time ago a cablegram was
that the 1880 tour of the Norwegian
Students Singing society, planned and
prepared for several months, was I'M
likely to materialize. Letters have
now been received explaining that the
reason for this change is an invitation
received from the student singers of
Sweden who want their Morse col
leagues to participate in a great
"Sangerfest" which is to take place
about the time when the NOrwegians
had intended to leave for the United
States. The American tour, cOnse-
quently, has been cancelled, much to
the regret of Norwegian-Americans
who were DESTROYS of having this OPP
portunity of celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of the first Amer
lean tour of an academic singing So
ciety from the old country.
Clinic Donated.
At the initiative of DR.. Sven
Lokrantz, city physician of Los An
geles, Cal, California citizens of
Swedish birth or descent, have sub
scribed a substantial amount of money
with which to purchase a portable
medical clinic which will be given to
the Red Cross organization of Sweden
for use in the remote districts of that
country. The clinic will leave Cal
ifornia for Stockholm early in Sep
