SUNDAY SERMON
STRESSES PEACE
The Rev. L. Johnson Gives ArmiStice
Impressions to Presbyterian, Meth.
OdistS mt Pine City.

Speaking before the combined Pres
byt er methodist congregations
Sunday morning at the Presbyterian
church in Pine City, the Rev. Lorenzo
Johnson emphasized the fact that
Armistice Day was the only one of
our holidays that specially honored
peace or the cessation of hostilities.
The minister took from his text a
verse from Romans, Let us therefore
follow after the things which make
for peace" He spoke of the different
movements since 1918 to stop war
and praised the kellogg Peace Pact
signed by fifteen nations, but stated
that it was only as strong as the hon
or of the nations which signed it.
Soon after opening his sermon, the
Rev. Johnson called on the congrega-
ton to bow i'm one minute silent pray
er for those who made the supreme
sacrifice. Then speaking of those
who gave all, he said I'VE ought to
give them all honor and praise for
their sacrifice, for we do not know
what the outcome might have been,
had they refused to make the sacri-
flee. But we cannot keep faith with
those who died unless we now strive
to build up the agencies of Govern
ment which tend toward peace"

Relatives Visit
In Switzerland

Alfred LorentZen, proprietor of a
meat market at Sandstone, received
word recently from his sister, Mrs.
Jens A. Hansen, of Denmark, stating
that she and her husband and daugh-
ter had spent a very enjoyable vaca-
ton in Switzerland the past summer.
Views of the picturesque scenery of
Switzerland were also sent. Mr.. Han
sen is editor and owner of the "Ros-
kilde Amtstidende," a daily newspa-
per in Denmark, and he is also Fol
ketingsmand" which corresponds to
congressman in this country Ole Lo-
rentzen, father of Mr.. Lorentzen in
Sandstone, but who has been dead
for a number of years, was also at
one time a member of the Danish
congress. His son-in-law, Mr.. Hansen,
followed somewhat in the footsteps of
his elder, and has risen to high pO-
sition, being an Influential man in
councils of Danish politics.
Alfred Lorentzen is an old timer
in the Quarry city and is naturally
glad to know of the success of his
relatives. He was at one time Danish
soldier on the West Indies Islands,
now the Virgin Islands, owned by the
United States.

ued growth of factionalism and the
prevalence of the personality issues
in the Senate lessen the prospects for
constructive legislation at the special
session. Indeed, the wrangling has
reached a point where it has all the
aspects of "grudge" fights so familiar
to neighborhoods often kept in tur-
MOL. The President is at odds with
the Senate policies and threatens a
veto. The Senate is ready to retaliate
in curtailment of Presidential powers
and essential appropriations for the
government departments. Also, the
Senate and the House are not seeing
eye to eye on legislative matters.
Readjustments are difficult with hui
man dynamite brought about by fray
ed nerves and impulses beyond con-
troll. When august assemblies lose
their poise through the Introduction
of personalities and rebellious bias,
it takes something more than self
designed rules of conduct to restore
discipline.
The delay on the tariff, coupled with
exposures of selfish interests at work
on tariff policies, precludes definite
statements as to the date of final en-
actment. The House is becoming
more hostile to the Senate draft. 1t
is no deep secret that House members

.FRIESLAND GIRL
KILLED BY AUTO
Violet Davis, II, Suffers
Broken Neck When
Hit by Car.
Mrs. L. F. Dickey, Driver,
Cleared of All the
Blame.

While walking with another little
girl on the pavement near her home.
Violet, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar
Davis, Friesland farmers. was almost
instantly killed Saturday evening near
dusk, when hit by a car driven by
Mrs. L. F.. Dickey of Duluth. The
side of the car struck the little girl
breaking her neck and one leg and
cutting and bruising her body.
The Duluth car going in the direc-
ton of the Twin Cities, was occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Dickey and their
child and Mr.. Lee. They stopped
and picked up the injured child who
was able only to gasp and died before
they reached the hospital at Sand
stone. The occupants of the car were
not held when they agreed to appear
the next day at the inquest which was
conducted at the village hall at Sand
stone by Coroner w. P. Gottry, and
Attorney Roberts of Pine City to de-
termine the cause of death and to
place the blame, if any.
Inquest Vindicates Driver.
The driver of the death car, Mrs.
Dickey, was freed from blame for the
death of the little birl when facts
of the case were made known. AS
was brought out, she, the driver upon
approaching the place where the
Davis girl, in company with Irene
Johnson was walking, seeing that
other passing cars obstructed her
view, applied the brakes suddenly,
causing the car to skid, thus striking
the little girl with the side of the
vehicle. Mrs. Dickey was overcome
with grief following the accident.
The funeral of little Violet was
held at the Dell Grove church and
burial was made in the Dell Grove
cemetery Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock.

big family and said if the members
of that family would just pass their
money around among themselves and
would let none of it get out of that
circle and no more get in, the COM
munity would never get any richer,
but on the other hand if a canning
factory is established, the situation
is changed. The grower sells his pro-
duce at home, gets his money and the
industry in turn brings that money in
increased quantity back to the COM
munity again, for it is the outside
world that uses the bulk of canned
products.
Grower Will Profit.
In telling about the raising OF. crops
to sell to the canning factory, Mr..
Barr said that the plant would con-
tract for them at set price year in
and year out so that at all times the
grower and the industry both would
know just what they were doing. AL
though not promising any certain
price at the present time, Mr.. Barr
intimated that it would not be far off

tracted for $40 per ton with a possible
yield of 10 tons per acre; cabbage So
to SO per ton with possible yield
of 80 tons to the acre; onions $50 per
ton and here he stated that one man
raised all the onions they used this
year from four or five acres planted,
amounting to approximately 100 tons.
Rutabagas, of course, would sell for
the approximate price they do now
and possibly little more to make up
the average over a number of years.
An advantage is that large and small
rutabagas can also be used for can
ming purposes.
Upon being asked what the growers
would do in case there was a surplus
of produce, Mr.. Barr said that the ST..
Cloud plant would still be in business
and that they would be able to use
from 60 to 20 carloads of vegetables
from here, therefore eliminating the
possibility of the grower being forced
to sell very much on the open market.
