An Interview by

Chicago Daily News Reporter

ARROL EDGREN, insurance
~ man, stood beside his Pom.
tiac parked in front of his ST. Paul
home, to add 4O,5OO and 1000
and note that they totaled 1O3, 500.
eThat's not the census of the
Twin Cities,'' he said as he dis
played the result to the inquiring
reporter. ''It's my mileage on Iso-
Wis Motor Oil And I'll bet the
cars in last years road tests never
came anywhere near that figure"
"It's all Iso.Vis mileage?" de-
manded the reporter.
Mr.. Edgren nodded.
''All Of it, he stated with some
emphasis. sThe 40, 500 miles is on
the speedometer of the Pontiac
right here. The other Ga, 600 was
the total on my other Pontiac when

ASKOV WINS
FROM DUQUETTE
Each Team Has Lost One Game and
That to Each Other This
Season.

AS a result of the victory in the
baseball game with Duquette at the
Kerrick Community fair Saturday,
Askov possibly has won the champ
ionship of the last half of its league.
The boys from here will at least get
a draw and an opportunity to play
off with the northern team. Duquette
won the first half by winning all it's
games while Askov was losing one
and that to Duquette and it is possible
that the home boys will duplicate the
first half champions feat by winning
all in the last half. There are two
postponed games to be played Sun
day in the last half that have a bear
ing on the championship and these
are Bass Lake at Askov and Duquette
at Groningen. If Askov and Duquette
should both win their games Sunday
then Askov will be champion of the
last half and will play for the sea-
sons championship with Duquette.
The game at DuQuette Saturday
was shutout in Askov's favor until
about the fifth inning when the north
ern boys came back strong and nearly
tied the score in the sixth, but the
final inning saw the score to for
Askov.

At a meeting attended by num-
Der of Pine county progressives in

Pine township, was chosen to head a

County Farmers Exchange and the
assessor of Pine township.
In accepting the craftsmanship, Mr..
Nelson said: 81 am for Roosevelt be-
cause of his liberal position on the
power question, his fight against the
power interests who made such a de-
termined effort to stop his nominal
tion and because of his progressive
record as governor of New York. I

TO CELEBRATE
HOME COMING
Hinckley VIII Commemorate Great
Fire of 80 Years Ago on Sunday,
September 4th.

Today, Sept. 1st, it is just 3S years
since the great forest fire of 1894
known as the Hinckley fire-which
swept over Pine county and laid to
waste several villages and hundreds
of farm homes. To commemorate the
event there will be big home COM
ing celebration at Hinckley-the CEN
ter of the memorable forest fire-on
Sunday, Sept. 4th.
Committees have been selected to
arrange for the affair and head
quarters will be at the American Le-
gion hall where lunch will be served.
Short talks will be given but the day
is mostly set aside for visiting of
old timers to recall the events con-
nected with the fire and the rebuild
ing that took place in the years that
followed. There will be an exhibit
of old time pictures and other arti-
cles from the pioneer days of the
logging operations that were then in
their heyday in Pine county.
Damage of more than S1,0OO,O00 was
done by the Hinckley fire while more
than 1900 men, women and children
were left homeless and destitute by
the flames.
Hinckley was rebuilt, but just out
side of its present day business sec
tion there is a cemetery which alone
is credited with containing the bodies
of AIS victims of the fire. Many lives
were saved by folks rushing to lakes
and rivers and a train carried many
to safety.

FL. LOOKS TO
BE BIG WINNER
Conservatives Have Nothing Worth
while to Campaign to
Start in Earnest.
By HENRY G. TEIGAN

Seven weeks in the field of cam
paigning convinced me that the cam
paign in Minnesota will be fought
out on the issue of whether Hoover
and his policies have operated to the
benefit of the people.
1t is more than obvious that right
now Hoover and his Republican asso-
ciates from Brown down to the last
man on the ticket are very much in
the minority. The fact is, Hoover,
Brown and company do not present
an appeal worth while in this time
of depression. The whole G. o. P.
concern stands discredited. Whether
Wall Street, through control of the
press and money, can drive the vot-
ers in the direction of the Republi-
can ticket before November 8. is a
thing l am not willing to prophecy.
l doubt it.
Ducks Hoover.
What campaigning the Republican
candidates for congress are doing
shows conclusively that they are
afraid of Hoover. Congressman An
dresen spoke at Madison and Dawson
one evening last week. He carefully
avoided reference to the great engi-
neer. Andresen's efforts fell rather
flat with the crowd. Perhaps his re-
cent defeat at Faribault where he
fought to have F.. H. Shoemaker cen
victed of criminal SANDER and failed,
may have weakened the Andersen ap
peal bit.
KnutsOn for Hoover.
Congressman Harold Knutson is the
one Republican congressional nominee
who is openly defending Hoover and
his policies. It was Knutson who forced
Ted Christensen a few days ago to
pledge his support to Hoover and to the
whole ticket and not pursue policy
OF going it alone. There is much to
be admired in the Knutson way of
doing business. Although his course
at Washington has been anything but
progressive he is at least loyal to
the political organization that has
sent him to congress eight consecu-
tive times.

The bride is a graduate of the Fin

is LAID TO REST

Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon for Everett Eugene Ellis of
Moose Lake, from the Methodist
church with the Rev. Parks officiat-

had charge of the burial ceremony
in Riverside cemetery.
The deceased died at his home in
Moose Lake Sunday. He was born In
New Hampshire August 20, 1862. He
had made his home in Moose Lake
for the past four years and before
that he and his family lived in Mark
vile and McGrath and in various
places in North Dakota. Mr.. Ellis
had been in poor health the past
three years having suffered a sun
stroke about five years ago. He is
survived by his widow and four sons.

SCHOOL AND CLASSES
TO END PLAY PERIOD

Next week will be the beginning of
school in all village schools in Pine
county, the majority of which will
begin actual classes on Tuesday.
Some of them will have short sessions
on Monday, Sept. 5, and will start
work in earnest not later than We'd
nesday morning.
Much activity is seen this year in
the various districts in regard to get
ting every available child of high
school age and who is qualified, to
attend high school. Willow River is
among those schools to increase its
high school enrolment over last year
and it is reported that an increase of
about so per cent is made. 1t is
thought that approximately $50 will
start classes there.

munity. Since that time by hard

family, Mr.. Larson had hued from the
wilderness one of the largest and
best farms in that section of Pine

acter and hard working disposition
Mr.. Larson had many friends who
valued his word and advice in civic

his loved ones as being a good hus-
band and kind father.
Besides his wife, he leaves five
children, Carl, Helmer, Joseph, Hildur
Mrs. Herbert Tamson), Walter and
Esther (Mrs. Palmer Paulsen) and
two grandchildren.
The funeral was conducted from the

sen, Nels Pearson, Axel Dahl and
John Ramsey acting as pallbearers.
Sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved family in their loss.
