MOTOR STOPS AS CAR
is ON r. r. CROSSING

Five ladies driving on highway
No. 1 had a narrow escape from
death or at least serious injury
at the Great Northern railroad
crossing in the south edge of
Hinckley village Tuesday. When
upon the track the driver of the
car noticed the noon train about
upon them and in her fright
killed the motor thus stopping in
the path of the train. They all
jumped from the car but in so
doing one woman's foot became
caught and but for the quick &C
tion of the engineer who stopped
the train, would have been
crushed.
No one was injured and no
damage was done and after push
ing the automobile from the track
both vehicles went on their way.

moved to Thayer county where they
lived five years and then came to
Finlayson. They farmed at Finlay-
son for five years and then moved to
town leaving their son, Ben, on the
farm three miles north of town.
Mrs. Stockamp was a member of
the Peace Lutheran church and was
actively engaged in church work dur
ing her lifetime. Her words, deeds
and general service@t to her family and
neighbors will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her husband and
seven children, who are, John Stoc-
kamp of Seattle Heights, WASH; Ben
jamin, Theodore and Lydia (Mrs. Fred

COUNTY PIONEER
is LAID AT REST
Nels Anderson, Hinckley Fire Sur.
vivOr is Dead at Age OF "a;
Lived There So Years.

One of Pine county's oldest citizens
was laid to rest last Thursday, July
6, when Nels Anderson was buried
at Hinckley. The funeral was held
from the Swedish Lutheran church in
that village with the Rev. ]. Albert
Johnson officiating. Mr.. Anderson
died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. John Kofoed, about mile south
of Hinckley at the age of "a years,
months and 81 days.
Mr.. Anderson was born in LOm-
morp, Sweden, on April II, 1S49, and
on April IL, 1873, his oath birthday,
he was united in marriage to Miss
Tilda Pearson. They came to the
United States and direct to Hinck-
ley in 1880, where the family has
made its home since. Eight children
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson,
three of whom preceded their parents
in death. Mrs. Anderson passed away
on July 10, 1925.
Mr.. Anderson was a pioneer in
every sense of the word, being one of
the survivors of the great Hinckley
fire. He withstood many rigors of
frontier life and lived to see the
fruits of his labors and that of his
co-workers turn wilderness into a
modern and comfortable community.
He was a charter member of the
Swedish Lutheran church and was
actively associated with it from the
time of its organization so years ago.
While he had lived a long, useful
life, his death will, nevertheless, be
deeply felt by his loved ones and
likewise by neighbors.
Five children, Mrs. John Kofoed
and Mrs. John Mackay of Hinckley;
Charles N. Anderson of Spokane,
Wash; Jarda Anderson of San Fran
cisco, Calf, and Albert L. Anderson
of Minneapolis, survive him as do a
sister, Mrs. Ida Gardner of Tacoma
Wash, and one brother, James Ander-
son of San Diego, Calf. There are
six grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
The pallbearers at the funeral
were, Alfred Johnson, Hjalmar Holm
Carl Peterson, Adolph Anderson, Axel
Peterson and Frank Johnson all OF
Hinckley.
Pine county has lost a good man
and the family has the sympathy of a
| large circle of friends.

LOCAL LABOR TO
DO ROAD WORK
Federal Fund Projects Will Employ
Local Men If and When
Available.

Local county men in the county in
which the work is done will get pref
erence on the states $1O,0O0,0OO fed
eral fund highway program when it
gets under way. N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, explains that
the state highway department will
have nothing to do with the hiring
of men for the various projects within
the states borders.
Hundreds of persons have made ap-
plications to the highway department
for jobs in the past few days, ap-
parently thinking that the depart
ment will be in charge of employ
ment, Mr.. Elsberg explained.
Federal regulations governing the
work say that the United States EN-
ployment Service in each state will
designate agencies to prepare lists OF
skilled and unskilled labor for each
highway project" he said.
1T is our understanding that when
contract is let in a certain county
the U. S. Employment Service will
select some existing relief or employ
ment agency in that county and have
it supply a list of available workers
to the contractor. The contractor will
select his men from this list.
Federal regulations contain this
clause: The requirements for pref.
erence in employment will not per.
nit a contractor to carry with him
skilled or unskilled laborers to any
project unless they are ex-service
men with dependents
War veterans with dependents are
specifically designated as first choice
for jobs. Next in preference are resi-
dents of the city or county in which
work is to be done, and third in order
are residents of the state not living
in the county where work is located
The regulations also provide that
the State Highway department shall
do one representative construction
project by direct labor, in order tt
provide a comparison with contract
work in cost and efficiency.
In general, the contractors will be
required to use hand labor where il
does not interfere with sound econ
omy and public interest. Any con
tractors who violate the Federal reg
ulations will be barred from further
participation in the emergency road
work.
First projects under the emergency
program are expected to get under
way in August.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

From the moment when, almost a
year ago. the subject of world eco
nomic conference was first preached,
it failed to create any enthusiasm;
time and again a date was proposed;
time and again postpOnement was
found necessary; time and again a
basis for discussions was suggested;
time and again it was rejected.
Finally, statesmen came to the con-
clusion that things could not go on
in this way, for economic conditions
throughout the world became steadily
worse, and so, at last, on June IL,
the world economic conference of Lon
don was opened with solemn "Pomp
and Circumstance"
That is, more than month ago.
And-to date not single thing has
been accomplished. 1t is true that
the crisis is slowly abating, but not
as result of any efforts on the part
of the conference-rather because of
the drastic measures which a new
American government has boldly in
augurated, and which exert consider
dUlC lHlluChCC uPOll tiiO ASoI VI thS
world.
Controversial Matters.
At the London conference there are
two distinct trends: One, exemplified
by the attitude of France, Italy, Po-
land, Holland, Belgium and Switzer-
land, which have not yet abandoned
the gold standard, and which, there
fore, insist that other countries either
return to that standard or, in some
other way, temporarily stabilize their
currency.
AS for the other trend evident in
London; it is expressed, chiefly by the
United States delegation which, in
turn, speaks the mind of President
Roosevelt who is in almost hourly
telegraphic or telephone contact with
his representatives.

Trade Builds Cities

That community profits most that keeps the
largest percentage Of its trade at home By the same
token the citizen who buys away from home is help
ing some other community, instead Of his own, to
grow.
Business is the lifeblood of the community.
city or town can grow faster than its business
grows And the retail trade is vital part OF this bsl-
ness.
Many patrons of mail order houses and out-of-
town stores do not realize the extent they nure their
own community and themselves by diverting their
trade from home town merchants They do not real
ze that they lose far more than the few cents they
may save in the immediate transaction.
Industries bring money to community, but the
community benefits only when that money is spent
at home It gets no benefit from the money if it pass
es directly from the pay envelope to the mail order
house. the degree does benefit being in direct ra
tic to the length Of time in remains in local circula
ton.
The well-meaning housewife reasons with her
SELF that Nogales merchants will not miss the few
cents accompanying the mail order the small pur
chase in the nearby city She is at fault only in that
she does not reason far enough. Those few cents
would remain at home and that small purchase would
be made in local store if she multiplied them by the
number of housewives IN the community
