SISTER OF DEAD
ACTRESS WEEPS
AT COURT TRIAL

LOS ANGELES. June 81. U.P)-
Adding a touch of drama to the
S1,000,000 damage suit trial at
which Mrs. Thereas Rubens seeks
redress for a magazine article pub
lished after the death of her
daughter, Alma Rubens, a sister of
the late screen star burst into tears
today when asked to relate intimate
details of Miss Rubens' last days.
An attorney for the Photoplay
Publishing company sued by Mrs.
Rubens, asked Mrs Hazel M. Large,
the sister, to tell of conversation
she had by telephone when Miss
Rubens was in San Diego during
the final month of her life.
"Oh, do I have to say all Of
those horrible things Mrs. Large
cried out. Then she buried her
face in her handkerchief and wept.
At this point of the testimony,
attorneys for Mrs. Rubens were
successful in objecting to the line
of questioning as immaterial.
zasu Pitts, prominent screen
actress, was a later witness. She
said she had been seated next to
Cortez, Miss Rubens' hus-
band, at the stars funeral. She
also testified that Miss Rubens
had been rated as a screen star.
DO you recall some of the pic
lures in which she appeared?' an
attorney asked.
mo, I can't" said Miss Pitts.
You know I seldom go to see pic
lures. I don't even see my own
pictures"

GROCERY GETS
new OWNERS
ThOrva1d SOrenSen and RaS-
mus Petersen Buy Out
C. ErikSen Co.
Change Takes Place About
August LIST; Petersen is
From Aberdeen, S. D.

The grocery business of c. Eriksen
Co. in Askov was sold Saturday to
Thorvald Sorensen, a clerk in that
store the past half year, and Ras-
mus Petersen of Aberdeen, S. D., who
is now making preparations to move
here with his family. The new own
ers of the business will take posses
sion on or about August 1.
This grocery business was started
IL years ago in the spring of 1920,
first under the name of Bendiks-
Eriksen Co., but a few months later
was changed to G.. Eriksen Co., the
business having since been conducted
by Mr.. Eriksen, who went through
hard seige in the fall of prices in
1920. Mr.. Eriksen, however, saw it
through and built up a steadily in
creasing business. In the first years
they carried dry goods and shoes
also, but have turned more and more
toward an exclusive grocery store, a
few years ago going under the Red
and White banner. The business will
be continued as a Red and White
store.
Thorvald Sorensen, one of the new
partners, hardly needs an introduce
tion to the immediate community as
he grew up here, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Christian Sorensen, in the west
part of the village, and is graduate
of the local high school. He was a
faithful employee of the Askov Motor
Co. for three years and for the past
half year has been with the c. Erik
sen Co., so is we'll acquainted with
the trade.
Rasmus Petersen has had many
years experience in the commercial
world. For the past II years he has
been a travelling salesman, in late
years with the Johnson Nut Co. of
Minneapolis, and had as his territory
the states of South Dakota and Ne
braska, with headquarters at Aber-
deem, where he and his family have
resided most of the time the past
twenty years. Previous to his long
experience on the road Mr. Petersen
clerked for some years in groceries,
clothing stores, and general merchan-
disc stores of Minnesota and South
Dakota. Ever since boyhood in Tyler
he has been connected with retail
stores or as a travelling salesman
where he also came in contact with
the trade.
Mr.. Eriksen who leaves the grocery
business, will continue his trucking
business, the buying of produce,
which he has developed the last two
years or more. He continues to own
the brick building occupied by the
grocery on the first floor, and will
lease to the new firm.
Mr.. Petersen came here last Thurs
day evening from Aberdeen together
with Mrs. Petersen and their daugh-
ter, Helen, remaining until Monday
morning at the home of his brother,
Svend Petersen. The family has
rented the new house just built by
T. N. Thomson and will shortly move
here with their household goods.

NEED OF JOBS
BROUGHT OUT
Magnus johnson, TOwnley, Lundeen,
and Teigan Discuss Issues in the
Congressional Campaign.

Folks in many communities of Pine
county heard candidates for Congress
on the Farmer-Labor ticket discuss
the issues of the campaign several
days last week. Some of the meetings
in the day time we're not so we'll at
tended as the farmers are busy in the
fields but the evening meetings, es-
pecially at Hinckley, Sandstone and
Askov were we'll attended.
Former U. S. Senator Magnus john
son and A. C. Townley, founder of the
Nonpartisan League of North Dakota,
spoke at all the meetings scheduled
for Pine county. Ernest Lundeen ap-
peared at some of the Chisago county
meetings and Editor Henry G. Teigan
joined them at Braham Saturday,
speaking there and in other Isanti
county towns on the way to Minneapo-
lis. All four men are candidates for
representative in Congress.
The one issue that was stressed the
most was that of securing employ
ment for the millions of idle people,
it being argued that the government
owes them a chance to make a living
so as not be subjects of charity. It
was stated that the United States
spent about forty billions of dollars
in the World war and with the great
wealth of this country it can well af-
ford to spend a few billions now to
keep the wolf from the doors of many
of its citizens. If the government will
start needed public works program
it will not be long before that will
create more work in private indus
tries-the building lines, clothing
manufactories-the food producers
will have more to do and secure a
market for their goods, clerks will
be put back to work in the stores,
the BARRIERS will have some hair cut
ting to do again, and so on down the
line.
1t was argued that the government
should start this program and with
out delay, the expense to be borne
through federal income taxes, there
being plenty of wealth in the coun-
try. Lack of management has caused
the stagnation, the depression, and
there must be a right about face for
a better deal to the masses. Wealth
must have better distribution. The
fact that wealth is only produced
when men are working was also
brought out to show the folly of con-
tinuing with this unemployment, not
to say anything about the demoraliz-
ing effect it has on the people.
