had made reference to the barber.
VIM. Bantleon, on his left, who has
very heavy crop of bushy and curly
hair, while there is hardly hair be-
tween the skull of Mr.. Hay and the
high heavens. Meditation ended Mr.
Hays address and Mr.. Bede was quick
to change the tenseness of the mo-
ment by suggesting that he use Bant-
leon hair tonic.
The POSTMASTER said that a little
10-year-old neighbor girl who calls
at their home in Duluth frequently
asked Mrs. Bede one day if Mr.. Bede
was always witty. NO" said Mrs
Bede. 'he is serious about half of the
time well then" said the child,
/ "he must be what they call a half
wit"
A Credit to the Committee.
DR.. Charles Swenson of Braham,
and Ed Prochaska, Pine City drug
gist, warm friends and admirers of
Mr. Allen, took the initiative in ar
ranging fer this testimonial dinner.
They were ably assisted in arranging
the program by w. s. McEachern,
Phil Silesky, Roy Carlson and others
and Mrs. Henry Buirge was the ca
terer who provided well for the inner
man. The tables and the building
were neatly decorated, there being
roses, carnations and other flowers
ana candles on the tables. all adding
mirth and happiness to the occasion
Gift Presented.
A watch charm was presented to
Mr. Allen from his friends. On il
was light bulb in platinum and a
light. The presentation speech was
made by DR.. Swenson in the follow
ing words: In cOmmemoration of
the friendship you have made, which
| hope will be as lasting as the stone
in this emblem, | present you with
this small token, not for its intrinsic
worth or value, but that in the future
you may recall the fact that your
loyalty ana honesty to your friends
and associates has been noted and
appreciated. May your future be hap
ply, and | hope you will wear this
token with pleasure and | can assure
you that we will be proud to have
you do So.
Deeply touched Mr.. Allen arose and
with difficulty said that the manage
ment of public utility has two prin-
cipal factors to wrestle with and they
are to please the board of directors
and stockholders as well as the Gus
toners, adding that he had received
many complimentary letters for which
he was thankful. He also thanked
the gathering from the bottom of his
heart for the testimonial dinner, the
splendid program and for the token
of friendship.
VIII Remain I'm Pine City.
Mr.. Allen, together with his family
Mrs. Allen and one son, will remain
in Pine City, where they enjoy the

in the battles of the coming season
as he has been in the past. We hope
he will be and we hope he can ac-
complish more for his own sake, but
baseball is a tickle ola game and
many freakish things can happen
even to the best.
At any rate baseball is baseball
and although one thinks the Yankees
will have an easy time with the next

may get loft on the wrong foot and
this will be sufficient to give one OF
the other clubs the long looked-for
chance.

farming being done north Of Pine
| City. Julius Dosey, many times mayor
of Pine City, who was present at the
| banquet, was mentioned as one of the
old timers who did much numbering
east of Pine City for about forty years
Col Grant, then at Sandstone, and
other old timers were mentioned and
the speaker related the story about
some agricultural exhibits being
brought down from Sandstone to the
| fair at Pine City when it was doubted
| that they were raised there and some
one passed the remark that all they
raised up in that timber country was
hell and half-breeds.
But look at agriculture in Pine
county today" said the speaker, there
are 1880 head of cattle in the county
now. The change is marvellous. The
dairy cattle here last year brought
an income of about two million dol
! lars" Turning to Mr.. Allen, he said,
that is about what the power COM
pany brought, but we have the cattle
yet, and you have not the company"
Mr.. Hay said that ninety per cent of
! the worlds activities of today were
not in existence when he was a boy
some so to 60 years ago. Radios, tele-
! phone, electrical light and power, au-
/ tOs, aviation, and others have brought
the wonderful change in this age.
| The speaker commended Mr.. Allen
for his initiative and said what we
will always need is starter men. those
who do not need to be cranked, the
ones who will go ahead and start
those who have the energy,' courage
and skill. I'VE would all like to be
/ leaders, but we can't, we are fol-
lowers, helpers and cO-operators,"
said the speaker.
! Though young in spirit Mr.. Hay
admitted that he was growing old but
said he was glad to hear Mr.. Bede
make the remark about it not making
long as we have done something. 1t
is what we leave that counts.
Mr.. Hay said he was born in for
eign country and was very apprecia-
tive of the opportunities here in Amer
lea. One day he was cOmplimenting
a banker in the Red River valley, also
a foreign born man-from Denmark
on the success he had made. The
banker said he was very thankful
for the opportunities that this country
had given him and added that he
should not be cOmplimented, for it
was the people and the country that
had made it possible for him to sue
coed.
The speaker gave a splendid dis
course on confidence and held the
rapt attention of the audience. He
said it is possible to create harmony
where discord prevails. The greatest
pleasure in life is not money, but to
know that one has rendered service,
adding that Mr.. Allen has been able
to render greater service by his fore
! sight and thOughtfulness in gather
ing good men about him and working
harmoniously with them.
Mr.. Hay said that this is an out
| standing event in the county and in
this section of the state, hOnoring a
man who started the first electric
| light plant here. Jan. 81, 1929 would
| be marked down in his book of
memoirs, he added
Long applause greeted the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Hays As minute address.
More Bede HumOr.

for his inspiring address. While Mr.

kaak Walton League
Members Meet Tuesday

Twenty-Five lovers Of outdoor rec
reation have signed up for men,
bership In the proposed organization
of a local Izaak Walton league.
At a meeting of members at the
chamber Of commerce Thursday
night Ed Monsees was named chair
man of the membership committee,
with Chas. Burton. Joe Putegnat,
j. H. Batsell and Bob Wells as men,
bers of the committee. This COM
mittee is making a canvass Of the
city, and the roll had been increased
to % Saturday, from it's original
five members of Thursday.
The Izaak Walton ieague started
out with a membership Of 81 men
in 1922. and at the end of 1923 it
had 200, 900 members on its roll
from 3,000town S and cities. Its
headquarters are in Chicago. 1t
stands for the betterment of the
outdoor life Of America. In a PAM
phlet recently issued by the organ
ization, it says:
From 81 men in one city in 1922
to zoe, 900 men in 5000 towns and
cities in 1928-from 81 anglers who
we're determined to improve their
favorite sport to a nation of sports
men, outdoor lovers, and leaders of
thought, who are fighting for con-
structive rebuilding progressive con-
servation of our natural assets In
all parts of America.
THAT. in short, is the history of
the Izaak Walton league of America.
Waltonism is broad In its applica-
ton. 1t does not rncan merely more
fish, more game. It means a more
and improve doutdoors, greater use
and benefit for all.
1T mean application of all pos
sible uses of the outdoors to the
general welfare of all Americans. 1t
means the preservation and promo
ton of the economic side of the out
doors must work to -uIl capacity for
humanity.
But it does not even stop there.
Waltonism looks further. 1t ac-
lively promotes and encourages out
door recreation, especially for the
youth of America, because it real
izs mental. physical and moral
standards of America can be MAIN
tanned only by greatly increasing,
the addiction to clean, vigorous, out
door sport. So Americas world
leadership actually hinges on build
ing activities which will increase
pastimes afeld and stream.
"Waltonism is purely a public
welfare undertaking, and the league
is operated not for profit. 1t is
non-political, nome o m mercial
Members and officers serve without

THE Walton league stands on a
platform SO broad, so constructive
and comprehensive, that it Is LITERAL
