system, mounted as rescue crews strug-
gled through mud and rock which
trapped five workers in the coast range
tunnel last night.
Abandoning all hope of finding any
of the men alive, rescue leaders placed
the project toll at ga lives. They re-
tracted previous announcements four
bodies had been recovered today, and
said only one. tentatively identified as
that of Chester Simendsen, 80, had been
found.
Others Flee to Safety.
The five caught in the cave-in.
all miners and muckers from San
Francisco were E. Cline, 80; Pat Crow
ley, AZ; Thomas Dennehy, 29; Roy Nc
Lendon, 80, and Chester Simendson, 80.
They were members of a crew of IS
which was engaged in removing timbers.
preparatory to lining the 2812 mile
tunnel with concrete.
Survivors said the quintet had Just
removed one of the timbers as there
came an ominouS roar and the walls
and roof of the tunnel collapsed.
Albert Holmes, shift boss in charge
| of the crew, led six of the survivors to
a shaft 2,700 feet away. The others
escaped through another shaft az
miles distant. Boulders crashed about
them as they fled. the survivors said.
The tunnel, II feet in diameter
at the point of the cave-in, was filed
solidly with rock and muck Rescue
work was hazardous.
Blames Pressure.
Lloyd T. McAfee, supervising engi-
neer, said "either too much pressure
/ from above or not sufficiently strong
timbers" was probably what caused the
slide. He explained 1.-The earth is soft
and mucky in spots and is subject to
swelling, which increases the pressure
on the timbers and sometimes pushes
! them out of alignment"

PINE PHILOSOPHY
By the PINE PHILOSOPHER

One brilliant child told the teacher
that he knew how to make anti-freeze.
He suggested putting her in the rum
BILE seat of an automobile.
The amount of money the farmer
receives from the farm produce dol
lar varies in different countries in
direct proportion to the number of
cooperative buying and marketing or
CARNATIONS in that country. Denmark
and Holland farmers have the largest
number of cooperative organizations
and receive the highest amount of
every farm dollar of any country.
Denmark farmers receive less for
there produce than American farmers,
yet are on high living plane. They
are both dairy countries too.
Upon looking over the poultry men
of Pine county, l find there are sew
eral who figure their yearly egg pro-
duction in thousands" of dozens. The
queer part of it is, only one has pride
enough in his product to put it out
in printed cartons with his own name
on the carton. One of the tricks in
farming is to raise a good product.
Then, convince the public that you
have superior product and the price
will come in proportion to your sales
effort. Any merchant will tell you
that goods well displayed are half
sold.
Some of the younger generation be-
lieve that facing the music means,
just watching the orchestra.
The height of disappointment for
a Californian would be to come to
Minnesota in January to fish through
the ice, and then not finding enough
ice. Well, we pretty near made it.

Fat Girls! Here's
A Tip For You

All over the world Kruschen Salts
is appealing to girls and women who
strive for an attractive, free from
fat figure that cannot fail to win
admiration.
Here's the recipe that banishes fat
and brings into blossom all the nat
ural attractiveness that every woman
possesses and does it SAFELY and
HARMLESSLY.
In the morning take one half tea
spoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass
of hot water before breakfast-cut
down on pastry and fatty meats-go
light on potatoes, butter. cream and
sugar.
Its the little daily dose that takes
off the fat" and brings that Krus-
chen feeling" of energetic health and
activity that is reflected in bright
eyes, clear skin, cheerful vivacity and
charming figure.
But be sure for your healths sake
that you get Kruschen. A bottle that
lasts weeks costs but little. You
can always get Kruschen at all drug
gists-and money back If not satisfied
with results after first bottle.

LEADERSHIP NEEDED
Publicity, Duluth)

America and the world is leaving
an old and passing into a new era.
Change is constant. Having solved
the problem of production solution
of the problem of distribution must
be worked out. No great movement
ever is accomplished without leader
ship. No concern governmental or
commercial; no organization, spiritual
or otherwise, ever accOmplishes re-
suits without directing hand. Or
ganizatiOn without leadership is
worthless.
In a time like the present when
problems as vital to the people as
those incidental to war are in evil
dence, the need of leadership cries
aloud. In the realm of commercial
ism we have no mental giants of the
calibre of, say, Marshall Field or John
Wanamaker. In the field of states
manship we have no pillars of the
substance of Theodore Roosevelt or
Woodrow Wilson. Though his limita-
lions, as demonstrated toward the end
OF his career, were manifest, it is
true we have no man with the per-
sonal magnetism and capacity to sway
audiences as did William Jennings
Bryan. Leadership, in America, is on
"a vacation.

THE GREAT LIBERAL
(The Capitol Times.)

1t seems strange that Oliver Wen
dell Holmes should be leaving the
supreme court because of the failing
him; for here. if anywhere, there
seemed to be one man on whom age
had no effect.
Conservatism often is the hand
mark of age-yet Justice Holmes is,
and has been for many years, one of
the nations foremost liberals. Nearly
81 years old, he has managed to keep
what many of us lose before we reach
half that age; an open, inquiring
mind. forward-loOking attitude that
is ever ready to hail new horizon.
willingness to recognize change and
desire to meet that change unham
pered by too great reliance on the
precedents of the past.
Could such man be called old?
In years, of course; he has gone far
beyond the scriptural allotment of
three score and ten. But mentally
he has been one of the youngest men
on the bench, and he has given the
nations supreme court a tradition of
liberalism that has leavened it for
years.
And now he is retiring: and few
Americans of any time had a finer
record of service to look back upon.
1t is startling to realize what a long
period his active life spans. He served
in the Civil War, seeing much of the
hottest fighting of that fearfully san
culinary conflict, and being wounded
in action three times-near Rich
mond, at Antietam and at Fredericks-
burg. He returned to Massachusetts,
the distinguished son of a distin-
guished father. to finish his education,
to teach law at Harvard and to serve
for 90 years on his states supreme
court, leaving it only when Pres.
Roosevelt elevated him to the U. S.
supreme bench.
Few men have compiled so bright a
record. And yet it is not the record
alone that has endeared him to his
countrymen. 1t is a thing harder to
define, harder to grasp-a thing that
is most easily summed up in the over
worked word of everyday conversation
personality" 1t is what he is, more
than what he has done. that makes
his final retirement such an unpleas-
ant bit Of news.
Heaven knows, Justice Holmes has
earned a rest. and we cannot begrudge
it to him. We can only regret that
it finally became necessary for him
to take it. In the quaint, old-fashioned
phrase, "he has deserved we'll of the
Republic"

In two fast games Bruno downed
the strong Willow River basketball
teams here Tuesday evening. The

margin, IS to II.
The Bruno girls took a good lead
early in the game and were not seri-
ously threatened at any time. AL
though they have played several very
close games, the girls scored their
first victory of the season in this
game. The game was featured by the
scoring of Schrader, the Bruno CEN
ter. The Willow River girls had
numerous short shots but were un-
able to connect for counters.
The Bruno boys, playing against
the smooth working Willow River
Guint, played "heads-up" ball and took
advantage of every break to win by
the slender margin of one point. Will
low River lead at half time by score
of II to s, but Bruno evened the count
at the end of the third quarter at -
all. Early in the last period Bruno
gained a six point advantage, and it
seemed that win was assured for
the local team. In an irresistible
drive, however, Willow River scored
five points to make the count IS to

whistle. H. Pearson led in scoring
