Legion WIN Strive to Help Home
T0vna


Through community service The
American Legion has the opportun-
ity to build up prestige in every
Minnesota Community, declares A.
c. Schaefer of Duluth, department
chairman of Legion activities, in a
message just sent to each Gopher
post.
Pointing out that by convention
mandate the eleven thousand posts
of the nation are each pledged to
annually do something constructive
for the home town, Chairman
Schaefer tells North Star State
members that wherever they live
they should determine to complete
some certain community project
during the coming year.
Past records show that Legion
posts have sponsored every type of
community Improvement, play
ground, bathing pools skating
Kinks, education courses, baseball
teams police patrols, etc, but each
day creates new opportunities for
us to serve our home towns.
1--WE Legionnaires have no axe to
grind. Composed of every race,
class and creed, we can unite every
other organization behind us. No
project is too great for the combin-
ed forces of a community to accom-
plish under Legion leadership.
There can be no depression in the
patriotism Of Legionnaires or in
their desire to serve their conrad.

Roger Golden and Berga Glis-
son, both of st. Cloud, are held in
the Stearns county jail in connec-
ton with the robbery. last Monday
at the Becker postoffice, and Sher-
Tiff N. ]. Neuman of Sherburne
county is looking for Earl Carlson
and Jack Yaeger, also of st. Cloud,
and believed to have been impli-
Gated.
Confessions, admitting their

ed by the two in custody, accord.
ing to Sheriff Neuman, and they,
implicated the other pair. About
$500 was obtained in the robbery,
and it was split four ways, equally,

Gertrude Dyson, Becker postmis-
tress, last Monday night, as they
neared the postoffice they were
approached by gunner with or
ders to stick 'em up" The gun
men and their victims entered the
postoffice where, according to in
formation at the time of the rob-
berry, Miss Dyson was forced to
open the safe. In it she had con-
cealed $500 in currency which be-
longed to her brother.
The gunner took the $500 but
made no effort to take stamps, Of
which the office had about $3.50 on
hand. The postmistress and her
escort, Gibson, were forced into
the cellar and the gunner escap-
ed. Later the imprisoned pair lib
Grated themselves.
Miss Dyson was surprised when
told by the sheriff of Giisson's al.

case. Glisson's attention to Miss
Dyson was clue, Sheriff Nueman
said. and after investigation he ar

two were brought to the Stearns

Boy Is Saves Two
Girls From Death
Rescuer Carries Two Victims
Home After Pulling Them
From Water

Brainerd, Mimi, Dec. 1.-two
little girls, who broke throug the
Mississippi river ice near here,
were rescued from drowning by a
13-year-old boy.
Playing alone on the river ice,
Patsy Roth, 8, and Marion Peter
son, 9, skipped acrosse a thin
stretch of ice, undermined by the
current.
The ice parted and Patsy fell
into the cold water. Marion, with
out hesitating, plunged into the
water to save Patsy who already
had gone down.
Marion brought Patsy to the
surface and tried to push her upon
the ice, but the ice was crumbling
and the children could make no
Roadway.
Meanwhile, Joseph Graham, play
ing farther down the river, heard
the girls scream. Selling plank
from the shore he rushed to the
scene. First, he attemptd to reach
across the edge of the ice and grab
for the girls by the hands. But
each time he approached the hole
the ice cracked and threatened to
drop him into the river. Finally he
pushed the plank into the opening
in the ice. Patsy though greatly
weakened from exposure and swal>
lowing water held to the board
and while Marion pushed, manag-
ed to climb to safety.
Then, Joseph pushed the board
back for Marion and she too was
pulled to safety.
Both young Graham and Marion
agreed that the thing to do was to
rush Patsy to her home. So Joseph
carried the younger girl home and
then returned to get Marion, who
because of cold and exhaustion,
was scarsely able to stand. Physi-
clans said the girls should recover
quickly although it might take
them few days to regain their
full strength after the terrifying
experience.

that the check this year is the most
complete one ever made by the as
sociation.
During the year there has been a
notable increase in the number of
resorts operating in the state. Last
lists all resorts in the state con-
tanned the names of 1,04O places.
This year there are 1875 resorts
listed and in addition to these 122
new cabin camps. A check made
by the Ten Thousand Lakes Great
er Minnesota Association in con-
junction with the state hotel in
spection brought the information
that the resorts now represent an
investment Of approximately $22,-
100000.
The farm survey of the assoeia-
ton brought out the names and
addresses of 81 farmers who have
moved here from other states in
1881. These farmers came from
Germany, three from Canada, and
one from Alaska. These new farm
ers, whose names and addresses
are in the hands of the association,
will each receive a letter of well
come from Governor Floyd B.
Olson. Undoubtedly there are many
other farmers who have moved to
Minnesota from other places whose
names have not been reported to
the association.
The campaign carried on by the
Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater Min
nesota Association to attract new
farmers and tourists in 1881 was
conducted through At publications
with combined calculations Of 49,
2,520. Several advertisements
were carried in each Of these pub
locations. From this advertising
campaign 4,835 inquiries were re-
ceived concerning farm homes in
Minnesota and 1886 inquired by
mail concerning vacations here.
Mr.. Hotaling's report shows that
both resort owners and realtors
were hopeful for better business in
1882. OF the 1853 who expressed
themselves concerning the land
outlook, 81 thought business would
be better, go thought business
would be poor, and IL were doubt
full.
Approximately two-thirds of the
resorts of Minnesota were forced to
turn away business at times during
the summer because of lack of &C

The mounted police landed at "Dia-
mond RS" place, on Porcupine river.
They stayed all night with him and
were greatly pleased with his hospital
ity. They left the next day to hunt up
a suitable place for a location, where
they could build. The place selected
was about Is miles from Browns place.
This was the beginning of Fort Mac
Leod, now Macleod.
The traders got along very well with
the mounted police, according to
Brown. They complied with the rules
and regulations Of the police. Although
the Hudson Bay company had original
ly sought to have the mounted police
established in the region, they turned
against them and found all manner OF
fault with them when they found they
did not move against the traders &C
cording to Browns version of the diff
culties. They accused them Of being
incompetent and said they could not
even ride horseback.
The traders claimed that the Hudson
