Via
Pavement Is
NOW Realized

In the mind of every one who trav-
els great deal there turks the fear
and the worry of the condition of the
roads ahead and this worry is magni-
fled in time of wet weather, but in the
future motorists having cause to trav-
ell between points in Minnesota and
Chicago and even to the Atlantic
coast will find a nice smooth pave
ment all the way. The first all paved
Minnesota-Chicago highway became a
reality last week when a new pave
ment between Owen and Abbotsford,
Wis, was opened to traffic. This was
the last gap to be paved in the so
called northern route.
The pavement follows U. S. No. II
from the Twin Cities to Eau Claire,
Wis, then goes via Chippewa Falls,
Abbotsford, Marshfield, Fremont, Osh-
kosh and Milwaukee to Chicago. The
distance from the Twin Cities is ap-
proXimately 400 miles.
Thus by starting on highway No. 1,
people in Pine county can travel on
pavement through Chicago and to
many points in the east.

Pine City Loses
to Cambridge
in Grid Game

Pine City high school bowed to Cam
bridge high school i'm the final foot
ball game of the season, the score
being 6 to 0. 1t was a very close
game and only through a lucky break
which the Cambridge players took adj
vantage of, did they succeed in max
ing the needed score. 1t was late in
the third period with neither team
having score, that Cambridge was
forced to kick to Pine City and when
the ball was being received by Pine
City back, he juggled it for a moment
and it was knocked out of his hand
by Cambridge player. This gave
Cambridge the ball within striking
distance of the goal and they quickly
put it over for a touchdown. The
point after touchdown failed and the
final score was 6 to 0.

BY " ODaley

Washington, November 6-The i'm
preston is growing that the United
States Senate is no longer the much
Wanted "gentlemen's club" In an
endeavOr to maintain it's traditions as
deliberative body the Senate has
prided itself on Senatorial courtesy.
This asset of the polished statesmen
has been thrown overheard lately so
that Senate hearings and debates in
the Chamber have all the ear-marks
of cat fight. The blunt and open
charges coupled with biting sarcasm
which go with the discussion of per-
sonalities has over-sh allowed political
issues. So many personal matters
have been drawn into controversies
recently that society hostesses are
greatly embarrassed in making out
their lists of dinner guests. Senators
who in truculent mood ignore each
other in the privacy of the Senate
cloak-rooms are not likely to add gay
ETY. to a social function.
Of far greater Importance from the
standpoint of the people at large is
the trend toward sectionalism. This
development is the direct out-cropping
of the current Investigation of the
tariff lobbyists and in part to the
character of the Senate debate. The
prevailing opinion in Washington is
that only harm can result from petty
methods of comparing the relative in

ASkov now has a business place

Grocers' Alliance of America. Carl
Miller has joined hands with the big
national organization and opens under
that name with special bargain Of
fering on Friday, Nov. Sth.
Chain stores have been coming out
into smaller towns, and many of those
are now to be found in towns of $500
or over. To counterfeit this trend of
grocery and general stores in the
smaller towns being owned by wealthy
men and big business in the metro
politan centers and being managed by
men who have no investment in the
towns where they operate, many own
erS of stores in smaller towns have
dubbed together and organized to do
their buying comparatively and in big
quantities and thus effect big savings.
Mr.. Miller who has been business
man in Askov for 16 years-14 years
in the hardware business and the last
two years in groceries and general
merchandise-has seen the trend Of
the times and after due consideration
decided to take this step to better
equip him to meet competition and
care for his trade.
The Independent Grocers' Alliance
of America was established but a
little over three years ago and so
phenomenal. has been their growth
that they now serve grocers in nearly
all parts of the United States, thou
sands of independent stores being
members of the organization. The
national headquarters are in Chicago.
The Miller store has been entirely
re-arranged with the grocery depart
ment on the north side, excellent
shelving, counters, and other fixtures
having been installed. Most of this
has been painted white and presents
a very neat appearance.
A number of l. g. A. stores are to
be found in adjoining counties, Moose
Lake and Barnum being among the
near ones. There is also an l. G. A..
store at Sandstone. Mr.. Miller an
