Washington, October 9-Officially
the visit of Prime Minister Mcdonald
is the main attraction in Washington,
but it is not the most absorbing topic
of conversation. A mysterious murder
case with love angle and hints of To-
cal politics is openly discussed, even
at social functions which have been at
high tide this week. 1t is proof that
Washington with population in ex-
cess of half million is just a small
town at heart, prone to speculate on
mysteries and scandal that keeps any
other town talking. Not even the
shipping activities of the little rebel
band of Senators engaged in guerilla
warfare against the President can
keep the notorious Mcpherson case off
of page one position in topical interest.
The widening of the breach between
the President and Congress is obvious
ly causing considerable concern. The
President has lost in two major tests
of strengthen special session of Con-
gress which was called for limited

is the rebellious attitude of Senators
rated as Republicans, but who cannot
be kept on party reservation. This
band of insurgents has membership
of from to IA Senators, not bound by
party platforms and promises. Each

Ancestors of DR.. Greene

Enjoying Retired Life With Coca
WTe After Active Career
as Doctor.

Knowing that DR.. and Mrs F. w.
Greene of Bruno, are we'll up in years
and having heard that the ancestors
of DR.. Greene date back to before the
Revolutionary days of America, the
editor of the American called on these
congenial old folks at their Bruno
home recently to get feature story
which we feel sure will be read with
interest by readers of the American
and the many friends of the Greenes.
Several times during the interroga-
tiOns Mrs. Greene interrupted and eX-
pressed the desire that they be not
given so much publicity. But she
was told that folks over the county
are anxious to become acquainted
with one another and this is one
means of telling about our own folks,
and connecting up historical links in
the county as well as elsewhere.
Is IS Years Old.
DR.. Greene who was born in Balti-
more, Nd, on Oct. 5, 1853, celebrated
his 18th birthday amongst relatives
and friends at his home Saturday.
Their only child, Miss Della Greene,
who teaches at Aitkin, was home for
the event, her birthday being only a
few days removed from that of her
father.
DR.. Greene told the writer that his
folks lived only few years at Balti-
more, and that he was in short dresses
tn
AS a boy he also lived in New York
City but spent most of his childhood
years in Boston, Mass, where he at
tended public school, high school, and
attended the College of Physicians
and Surgeons for two years. At the
age of Fl he passed the examination
but did not get the diploma there.
Came West I'm 1874.
In 1874 he went west to Iowa, in
Crawford county, where he treated
his first patient on June %, 1874, and
with smile the doctor said the pa
tient lived for many years thereafter
The doctor bought some land and did
little farming on the side to make
money enough to complete his studies.
This was before the days that certifi-
Gates from state examining boards
were required before a person could
practice medicine or surgery

ARE MARRIED
FORTY YEARS
Friends and NeighbOrS
Honor Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Ogilvie.
Came to Norman Township
in 1914; Mr.. Ogilvie a
Minnesota Native.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Ogilvie, in Norman township, midway
between Willow River and Bruno viii
lagos, was the scene of a happy gath
ering Friday evening, Oct. 4, when
the Ogilvies celebrated their 10th
wedding anniversary. Relatives and
friends from far and near filled the
large home to Overlooking and en-
joyed a good social evening.
The Ogilvies have been residents of
Pine county 15 years, coming here in
1914 and settling on their so acre
farm which was then not so much Of
a farm, but has been greatly improved
since. They were married on Oct. 4,
1889, at Blue Earth, and lived there
the first seven years of their married
life. Then they moved to Akely, also
in this state, where Mr.. Ogilvie was
interested in the saw mill business.
After spending eight years at Akeley
they returned to Blue Earth and took
up farming again, remaining there for
ten years when they came to Pine
county in 1914.
Native of Minnesota.
Mr.. and Mrs Ogilvie are the same
ages, and in addition to this Mr..
Ogilvie can boast of being a native
of Minnesota, something which not
very many at his age and still living
in this state, are able to do. He was
born in Pilot Grove township, miles
from Blue Earth, where his parents
homesteaded Blue Earth then con-
sisted of only a few log cabins and
the nearest railroad town was Man
kato. That Mr.. Ogilvie is out of good
healthy stock is indicated by the fact
that his father lived to be Sc and his
mother 50. They were natives of
Scotland. His father also served in
years old. Mrs. Ogilvie was born
in Sweden and came to America with
her parents at the age of Z, settling
at Moline, Ill.
Mr.. and Mrs Ogilvie have five chill
dren, all of whom but Robert, who is
married and lives at Seattle, Wash,
were home for the 40th wedding ami
versary celebration. The others are:
Wallace w., who farms adjoining his
parents; Mrs Earl Wilson, st. Paul;
James g., Shell Lake, Wis; and Miss

school, northwest of Pine City. Mrs.

PINE CITY LOSES
FIRST GRID GAME
st. CrOiX Falls, Wis. Visits Pine City
to Open Season by
Win of II to O.

The ST. Croix Falls high school
football team proved too strong for
the Pine City high school team i'm
their annual game played at the fair
grounds Friday afternoon, taking the
measure of Pine City by score of
IA to o. The game was interesting
to the two hundred spectators who
turned out and there was not one dull
moment as both teams went after
things with vengeance and it was
not until well towards the closing
minutes of the game that the result
could be forecast.
: st. CroiX Falls, with a somewhat
heavier team, and with more expert
ence, started out strong and pushed
over a touchdown in about ten min
utes. Fine City fought back on even
terms and threatened several times
to take the ball over and tie the score.
but were unable to successfully exc
needed. The final scoring came in
the fourth quarter when the Wisconsin
players gradually forced Pine City
back toward their own goal, and held
them there until they were compelled
to down the ball behind their own
goal for a tOuchback counting two
extra points, making the score in
favor of st. CroiX Falls to 0. The
Wisconsin lads then kicked out to
Pine City and the latters were again
crowded back to their own goal line,
losing the ball on tumble to St.
CroiX Falls who recovered the ball
for an easy touchdown, making the
final score IA to O.
