LAST FALLS BRIDE
AND GROOM RETURN

George G. Swanson who has spent
part of the winter on the Pacific
coast, returned here last week for a
visit at the home of his mother, Mrs.
Mary Swanson, north of town. The
information has just leaked out that
George stole a march on his friends
last fall and was married to Miss
Emma Walta, a trained nurse. whose
home is near Willow River. The mar
riage took place at Duluth on Oct.
IA, 1928. They left two days there
after on an auto trip to California and
were accompanied by another young
married couple from the state of Kan
sas. Returning, they were also &C
companied by their friends as far as
Kansas. Mrs. Swanson is presently
doing nurse duty at a ST. Paul hos
pital, while Mr. Swanson is here work.
ing on the old home farm and making
plans for the future. They may de-
eide to build on their land north of
town. Their many friends here will
be glad to see them settle down in
this community as they are the
thrifty type and good home builders.
While little tardy, friends are glad
to extend congratulations and best
wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson. The
auto trip to California and return with
few other trips here and there
total of over 5000 miles-was made
with only one flat tire On the entire
journey, and that was the result of
a nail puncture. No engine trouble
was experienced and the journey was
much enjoyed. They left Los Angeles
New Years day on the return.

Mrs. Holger E. Petersen visited
friends and relatives in Minneapolis
Saturday and Sunday.
Frank Swanson, north OF town,
went to ST. Paul Sunday for visit
and may also look for work.
Miss Edith Gravesen left Monday
for Minneapolis and may remain there
if employment can be secured.
The Service Garage soldits second
new Chevrolet, a coupe. on Monday to
Elmer Morgensen. And by the way,
this car has the distinction of being
the first 6-cylinder Chevrolet coupe
to be brought into Pine county, and
judging from it's appearance, it will not
be the last one.
The usual large number of visitors
called at the Hermansen brothers
home Wednesday evening to help them
celebrate their birthday. After par
taking heartily of a six o'clock dinner
the evening was spent in card play
ing and terminated at midnight with
coffee and cake, when the guests de-
parted wishing their hosts many hap
py returns Of the day.
Nels Breiland, southeast of Bruno,
was suffering last week from what
appeared to be a ruptured appendix.
DR.. H. E. Levin was called and the
same day, January 18th, he accom-
panied Mr.. Breiland to the Fairview
hospital at Minneapolis where DR..
Thor. Petersen was consulted. The
operation was performed next morning
and it proved to be ruptured appen-
dix. Word from the hospital is to the
effect that Mr.. Breiland is getting
along very well. though he is quite
advanced in years.
The main attraction for several
days during the past week was the
new six cylinder Chevrolet sedan
which the Service Garage secured
Saturday. Besides changing from the
4-cylinder engine to the 6-cylinder the
Chevrolet company has made many
improvements in appearance n d
| roominess of the body. There are Of
course number of mechanical
changes which have to be seen and
tried out to be appreciated. This first
6-cylinder sedan was sold to Hans
Clausen, he trading in his old Chew
rolet on the deal.

Bill, is back again. At every session
for about ten years he has demanded
a place in our statute books, but has
been given the cold shoulder. The
Russell Sage Foundation is behind the
bill, which has been enacted into law
i'm several states. 1t seeks to put out
of business the Loan sharks" who
advance money to persons that are
hard up, in small amounts and at ex-
Orbitant interest rateS-running up to
400 per cent in a few instances. 1t
legalizes an interest rate of three and
half per cent per month and pro-
vides for severe penalties in case a
higher rate is charged. Loans under
100000 are the only ones affected.
Country members view the bill with
suspicion, fearing that to legalize an
interest rate of AZ per cent per an
mum is risky business.
Another old friend is missing, how
ever. That's the "Cornfield Philos-
opher" of Spicer, Minnesota, who has
covered the last five sessions for
Farmer-Labor weeklies in the state.
Excluded from the reporters table,
he sat hour after hour in the house
and senate galleries watching the
deeds and misdeeds of the Solons
and writing down his observations
in clear, pointed language. For over
fifty years he has watched lawmakers
in this state and elsewhere. Now he
is too old to be here and l guess he
found it harder and harder to make
ends meet. He is unique character
and will not soon be forgotten.
Both branches are now fully organ
lied, with the same old members at
the head of the most important COM
mittees. In the senate A. J. Rockne
of Zumbrota heads the finance COM

early in the week, under suspension of

sponsored by the department of agri-
culture of the state university and is
free to all Minnesota people. This
years attendance was nearly 1000.

perhaps, the big ninth annual Farm

but a comparatively short time until
the forest will be on a permanent
productive basis. When this takes
place the federal government pays
to the county in which the forest is
located in lieu of taxes, % per cent
of the gross annual income from the
forest. In addition large sums are
expended annually on fire protection,
roads and other improvements, so it
should leave little doubt in anyone's
