CHAUFFEURS GET
YOUR RENEWAL
Secretary Of State Says License Re
newalS Must be Applied for
i'm November.

Chauffeurs expecting to renew their
licenses will do well to remember
that by making application to the
secretary of state during the month
of November, they may be spared the
Inconvenience and extra expense of
taking an examination. The follow
ing provision of state law governs:
All chauffeurs' licenses issued
hereunder shall expire at midnight
on December 81 of the year for which
it is issued, but may be renewed with
out examination upon such evidence
as shall satisfy the secretary of state
that the Hcensee is qualified to con-
tinue as a chauffeur, but no renewal
of license issued. before November 1,
in any year shall be granted unless
application for such renewal is made
during the month of November of the
year for which the license was is
sued" (SectiOn 4, Chapter 433, Laws
1929.
This means that application for re-
newal must be made before December
1. There is no provision in the law
for extending the time for renewa al
without examination. If the applica-
ton for renewal is not mailed to Mike
Holm, Secretary of State, st. Paul,
Minnesota before that date, he is not
permitted to issue chauffeur's licen-
ses for the coming year except upon
a regular examination.
Mr.. Holm reports that a very large
portion of the chauffeurs of the state
have not sent in their applications
yet. Application blanks were sent out
from the secretary of states office
during the, last week in October to
every chauffeur in the state addressed
to each at the last known address.
MANY of these blanks have been
returned to the office unclaimed" says
Mr.. Holm, evidently because those
particular chauffeurs have changed
their addresses without reporting the
change to this office. However, if the
chauffeur will address letter to this
department at once, we shall be glad
to forward the necessary blanks"

MUST HAVE PERMITS
TO RETAIN GAME KILL

Minnesota residents should bear in
mind the legal dates for retaining
game in their possession. Many vio-
lations occurr- each year because of
infringements covering this phase of
hunting operations.
1t should be remembered that game
may not be retained more than five
days after the close of the season un-
less tagged by the Director of the
Division or a game warden.
Deer may be kept under a permit
until February %. migratory water
fowl under permit until December
10 and upland game birds under a
permit until January 10.

TOTS DROWN
Bow and Girl Fall Through
Air Hole in Snake
River.
Tracks in Snow Lead
SearCherS to Scene of
Tragedy Monday.

A tragic drowning occurred at Pine
City last Monday about noon when
Charles Richard Larson, age years,
10 months and 4 days, and Betty Jane
IversOn, age years, Z months and 8
days lost their lives in Snake River.
Little Charles, who was born Jan. 20,
1928, was the son of Louise and Harry
Larson. The father works in Mime
apOlis, and Mrs. Larson is teacher
in the grade school at Pine City and
taught a few months as substitute in
the AskOv school in the fall of 1928.
Betty Jane Iverson was born at
Princeton, April 10, 1928, being the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl E.
Iverson. The VERSIONS moved to Pine
City about three years ago where Mr..
Iverson operates the Texaco Oil bus
mess.
1t was customary for the two chill
dren to play together as the homes
are near each other. At noon when
Mrs. IversOn went to call her little
daughter for dinner, the two children
were found to be missing. A hurried
search was made and Glen Turner,
at whose home the children had some
times gone. went in search. He found
their tracks leading to the river and
onto the ice where no return tracks
could be found. He Immediately sum-
moned the fire department and tracks
leading onto the thin ice toward a
hole told the sad story. Near the
shore little Charles, who knew how
to write, had written their names in
childish print, "Tobey and Betty
Bodies Found.
Dragging of the river commenced
and soon yielded the body of Charles.
1t was brought to the surface by
James Wandel. A few moments later
the little form of Betty Jane was
brought up by Ebon Gillespie. Cor
Oner Frank Gottry was called and
rendered verdict of accidental
drowning.
A double funeral service was held
from the M. E. church with the Rev.
Lorenzo Johnson, pastor, and the Rev.
ID. w. Thompson of the Presbyterian
church, joining in conducting the
service.
Burial was made in the Larson lot
in Brentwood cemetery at Pine City.

Hunter Kills
AntIered Doe

Lenard H. Lund, living about
four miles south of Bruno, is being
chided by his friends as having
Joined the army of story tellers
since his recent killing of female
deer with eight-inch single spike
horns.
Now, in the first place Lenard
is known to be upright and sim
cere, having two years ago been a
candidate for sheriff in the pri-
maries, but his having self-ad-
mittedly killed a female deer with
antlers, is just too much for his
acquaintance to swallow. There
"aint no such animal" they say,
and advise him to keep out of pas
lures while hunting. On the other
hand Lenard says there is and he
can prove it by exhibiting the
head, although it is doubtful if he
would allow any one to sample
the meat.
Of course for one with the hunt
ing ability that Lenard possesses.
it would be an easy matter for him
to go out and bring home the or
binary kind of deer, but he prefers
some extra eXcitment for his Ii
cenSe fee and "messes" only with
the kind that the average hunter
just can't find.
Yes sir, it's true says Lenard,
and we do not doubt him any be-
cause his credit as a true story
teller is good with us. But at any
rate it is a bit of news and very
interesting to find a female deer
with antlers. The animal weighed
about 165 pounds.

would cause purse strings to be
loosened toward giving assistance
through such sources as the Red
Cross offers. He also stressed the
fact that all donations to the Red
Cross and half the membership dues
stay in the community where given.
DR.. Arends states that the member
ship number should be greatly in
creased in the Askov community and
that the unit will cheerfully accept
membership and donations at any
time.
Play Well Received.
The play, presented by three young
Hinckley, was we'll presented and re-
ceived with appreciation by the au-
dience, not only because of the quality
of the presentation but also because
of the effort the Hinckley people gave
toward helping to make the Askov
event successful. The play, "The
Mice Will Play" was a comedy and
had as scene the home of a young
married couple where the wife was
supposed to have left on a visit to her
mother and having missed the train
returned home to find her husbands
friend whom she had often accused of
leading him astray, was already with
him. After much explanation the
scene had a happy ending and all:
lived happy, etc.
Mrs. Robert Nelson directed the pre-
sentation and the players included the
Misses Eurilla Hansen, Violet Brown
and Juanita Heuer and Robert Stanch-
field. Elmer Rappee and Bernard Zim-
brick. Others attending from Hinck-
ley were A. e. Eddy Robert Nelson,
and Mrs. H. M. Dempsey.
The committee in charge of the pro-
gram consisted of Mrs. j. C. Jensen
Mrs. Rasmus Petersen and Miss ILL.,
verne Kespohl.
An itemized account of receipts
from the various departments of the
evening follows and the committee is
very appreciative for the fine support
they received to make the affair a
success:
Admissions, $1S.O5; fish pond, S.. go:
candy. $5.43; poultry, $3.50; dance,
$4.65; lunch, 1895; and quih, s15.75.
The gross total was $77.33 and after
all expenses were paid $5O.3S is left
for the local Red Cross treasury.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

During the first few days of the
present week the attention of the
world in general was focused on de-
velOpments in Geneva, Washington,
Berlin and London. In Geneva, Jap
anese diplomats filed their answer to
the complaint submitted by the Lord
LyttOn investigation commission; in
Washington one president and one
preSident-elect were discussing the
delicate and abstruse question of
European war debts to the United
States; in Berlin the president of the
German republic was busy forming
a new government, and in London the
problem of international disarmament
was helped one step along by British
recognition of the official German
claim to arms equality.
Japan's Justification.
Appearing before the League of Ma
lions council in Geneva suave and ami
cable Japanese ENJOYS with true Or
iental courtesy declared that the find
ings of the Lytton commission which
had been investigating the Japanese
Chinese conflict in Manchuria and
around Shanghai last winter, were
inconclusive, incorrect and incom-
plete. Japan most certainly had not
violated any International treaties;
had done nothing hostile to China;
had, in fact, only protected her nat
ural interests in Manchuria, and
what was more-intended to pursue
that policy, no matter what the
League council may say about it,
Japan knows, and all the world
knows, that there is nothing to be
done about it. There may be words
of condemnation and polite censure,

ing the past several weeks,
N have heard expressions from
people intimating that Thanksgiving
would be more or less of a mockery
this year. Indeed there are many
thousands in our nation who have
little compared to others for which
to offer thanks to God, but at that they
have something. They can thank Him
for life; they can thank Him for safe

after their landing-after their first
harvest in 1921.
The picture of that first Thanksgiv-
ing feast celebrated in Plymouth on
the thirteenth day of December. 1921,
is striking one. Imagine the block
house standing alone in that great
wilderness. It's crude furniture and
surroundings devoid of comfort. And
were there forks with which to eat
their food? No, forks were not intro
duced until IL years later. Their
utensils were, few and those from
which they ate and drank were passed
from lip to lip. Yet these people were
thankful, because they had been Civ

far removed from the oppressed
world that they had known. Even

Mrs. Eddy told of the Red Cross Or

county had received during the past
year three carloads of flour and other
articles. This material was presented
by the National Red Cross which in

protect the market. From that time
on there was no opportunity to unload
it into the market again and it was
presented to the Red Cross to grind
into flour and make into cloth.
Mrs. Eddy praised the Askov unit

FRANK BUCK WRITING
DEATH VALLEY STORIES

Frank Buck, mining engineer who
spent some time in Libby few years
ago, has turned to writing stories as
side line. A clipping from a Tujunga,
Calf, paper says:
Frank Buck is writing a series of
short stories with scenes laid in Death
Valley, territory with which he is
very familiar through years of expert
ence as mining engineer
Mr.. Buck says there is great amount
of misleading information in print re-
garding Death Valley, and a lot Of peo-
pie get in trounle by taking it for truth
He tells of man and wife and grown
daughter who set out to drive into
Death Valley in fine big car with
only thermos bottle full of water.
Their car begged down in a salt marsh
and they were rescued and carried to
hospital just in time to save their
lives. The car is still in the desert
where it begged down.
This party believed the publicity that
said there were good roads leading into
the valley and scorned the advice OF
the old desert miners to turn back.
Several Of Mr.. Bucks stories have
been published in Far West Romances.

IN EVANGELISTIC WORK

The evangelistic and missionary
party, composed Of Mr.. and Mrs. L.
P. Sanford and Earl c. Shales, will
leave Libby about the first week in
October, for an extended journey OF
six months, by auto, in which they
will hold meetings, distribute gospels,
testaments and Christian literature
principally through the rural sections
Of several states, gradually working
south where the winter will be spent
in general missionary work, preach
ing and teaching the Word as the Lord
so leads and directs. This evangelistic
campaign will be entirely by faith il
the Crucified, Risen and Coming
Christ, under no UNCONVENTIONAL board
and under no circumstances will there
] be any offerings or solicitations made.
| Bible conferences and evangelistic
campaigns will be held in various
| places in connection with the rural
evangelism.
During our absence from home, serv-
ices will be held in the Gospel Hall on
our premises here in the Fisher River
country, as will be announced later.
If ever there was time when this
world needs Christ it is now We are
living in times spoken Of in Scripture
where the people are lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers Of God. 1t seems
to me that people today should be more
interested in the eternal welfare Of
their precious souls than in the pleas

Little Stories of the Town

day when, as a mere youth, ne

turtle He remembers it so we'll be-
cause he had started to scratch his
name on the back of the turtle when
man appeared and told him if he
left his mark on the back Of the turtle
the name would disappear with the
years, but that if he placed it on the
under shell it would remain there as
long as there was life in the turtle.
Taking the advice of his adult friend,
Dave turned the turtle over and
scratched his name on the under shell
and then released it.

Dave Boyle, long time and we'll
known citizen of Libby, recently re-
ceived word from an acquaintance of
many years standing and from whom
he had not heard for over 50 years.
News of the old acquaintance was
brought to Mr.. Boyle through the
columns Of his former home -toWn
paper, the West Liberty (Ia) Index,
which tells the story as follows:
]. Dave Boyle, brother of Milton Of
Cedar Valley, and who has made his
home in Montana for many years, was
a roamer of the fields and seer Of
Natures many interests during his
boyhood spent in this community. He
has been gone from here for the bet
ter part of SO years.
THE other day while strolling near
the drainage ditch as it crosses the
old Arnold homestead in east Cedar
Valley, Will Arnold kicked up turtle
which was taking its humping way
through the grass. Remembering the
day when such creations were more
interesting than now, Will picked il
up, and there on the under side of the
shell in the slightly scraggly lettering
of youth, was cut the name, Dave
