SANDSTONE MAN
DIES SUDDENLY
Heart Attack is Fatal to F.
Schmitz Saturday Night; Resi-
dent Is Years.

The Sandstone community was
shocked when it learned Sunday
morning that F. ]. Schmitz had passed
away very suddenly during the night
following an attack of heart trouble.
Mr.. Schmitz left his place of BUSH
ness to so to his home at about II
p. m. Saturday night apparently in
good health and spirits. In his wife's
absence when she was attending a
party with friends he retired. Upon
her arrival home she noticed he was
asleep but he awakened her soon
after saying he was ill and feared
he was passing away. A doctor was
summoned but no help could be given
him.
Frank Joseph Schmitz was born in
Newberry, South Carolina, on January
2. 1870. His father was a soldier and
he followed in his fathers footsteps
serving in the regular army in the
Spanish American war. After his dis
charge from the army, he came to
st. Paul, where he engaged in the
restaurant business.
He was united in marriage in 1900
to Miss Anna Chamberlain of Water
town, Wis. and in March, 1918, they
moved to Sandstone, when Mr..
Schmitz purchased the o. H. Ingram
pool hall business, which he con-
Quoted until death.
Mr.. Schmitz was good citizen and
had many friends to mourn his un-
timely death. He is survived by his
widow, one sister, Mrs. Julia Harvey
of Washington, d. c., and one brother,
John E. Schmitz of Christopher, Ill.
The funeral was conducted Tues
day afternoon at 2:3O o'clock from the
Union Congregational church with
the Rev. John Hughes officiating, as
sisted by the Rev. T. ]. E. Wilson of
Hinckley. Burial was made in Spring
Hill cemetery with military services.
Arthur Martin sang two beautiful
songs accompanied on the pipe organ
by Mrs. Martin. The floral offerings
were beautiful.
Owing to the short notice and dis
lance they had to travel, the sister
and brother were not able to attend.
Those from away who attended were,
Mrs. Alice Spencer, sister of Mrs.
Schmitz, of Milwaukee, Wis.,; Mrs. Ida
Schmitz of Minneapolis; Mrs. A. F..
Palmquist, w. E. Westfalinger, AL
bert Meyers and Thomas Woods of
st. Paul.
The sympathy of the entire Sand
stone community is extended to Mrs.
Schmitz and relatives in their sor-
row.

Askov Talks
Credit Union
About Fifty Men Listen to Pro
ject Explained; Charter is
Applied For.

About fifty men of the Askov COM
munity met in the Assembly hail
Monday afternoon to hear C. O. Skor-
stad of st. Paul, explain the function
of a Credit union.
| The speaker told how the union
could serve good purpose as a saw
ingS medium and as local loan
agency. 1t is financed by local
money and loans only to members.
Shares of stock are S. and as little
as 25 cents monthly can be paid as a
savings to draw interest. The speaker
gave as an example the credit union
being operated by about 1900 employees
of the Minneapolis post office, saying
that it had deposits of about 100000
and it's members were accommodated
with loans whenever they desired
them, paying the money back at a
fixed amount per month as set by the
local board of directors. He stated
| also that the interest rate charged
| for such loans could be set by the
board up to a maximum of ~ per
cent. The union will operate under
| Tic super tSloH VI Iic SldIc
department inasmuch as the auditing
of the books are concerned and prac-
tically the whole method, of operation
is dictated by the members and board
themselves outside of few require
ments which the law lays down. The
Union will be absolutely safe said the
speaker, because each group has its
own auditing committee to audit the
books and the banking department
audits the books once a year for a
set charge. Each member has one
vote in any business to be transacted.
Write for Charter.
The officers chosen, work without
salary until such time as the mem
bers see fit to vote them compensation
for their work. The speaker state d
that even though the start was small
with only small deposits, if there are
several members it would not be long
until good sized sum would be in
the treasury and small loans to mem
bers could be made. In short, in de-
scribing the credit union, it is a place
where surplus funds can be placed
with assurance that they will remain

WORK OF YEAR

PatrOlmen Have Been Busy I'm 1892,
Says Report to Highway Com.
missioner.

The report made by Chief Highway
Patrol officer, ]. P. Arnoldy, to Com
missioner N. w. Elsberg of activities
of the state highway patrol during
1882 is summarized by recent high
way bulletin and shows that while
users of Minnesota highways made
improvements in some respects, as
regards infractions of traffic regula-
lions or safe driving practices, the
patrol officers were kept exceedingly
busy.
Tags were issued because of motor
vehicle or chauffeur license irregu-
larities to 5,137 last year as compared
with 1891 in 1881; but payments in
making proper corrections totaled
S42,29O.61 in 1892 as against $780,
671.93 in the previous year.
Arrests were fewer. totaling but
1 ,544 in 1882 whereas the 1881 total
was 4,077. Arrests for driving while
drunk totaled 495 last year and penal
ties amounted to $42,32S.75 for that
infraction alone. The total of fines
imposed for all classes of violations
for which arrests were made was $685.
1925 last year as against $S4, .65
the year before, but Imprisonment
sentences were materially heavier in
1882. Those sentenced to Jail on
drunken driving charges served 1850
days as compared with approximately
half the number in 1881.
Non-arrest correctional work of the
patrol officers shows up materially
more in 1882 than in 1881. Warnings
were given for violations ranging
from such minor ones as soliciting
rides to passing on curves, and to-
tailed 3S,139 as compared with 21,S76
warnings in 1881.
Illegal or unsafe equipment re-
ceived special attention of the patrol
men throughout the year, and tags
were given to 1882 by which correc-
lions were required within 4S hours.
Accidents attended by patrolmen
totaled 934 last year, and sos in 1881.
Aid to motorists was an outstanding
feature of patrol activities in both
years, and brought many expressions
of commentator by visiting and resi-
dent motorists. The figures recorded
for this class of service are, 1892, 619,-
9O2; 1881, 133,757.
The total miles patroled are rela-
lively the same in the two years, and
approximate two and a half million
miles. The number of patrolmen, in
Guiding four captains, but exclusive
of the chief natrOl officer is shown
as 20 in each year.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

At the present moment indeciSiOn
and inactivity may be considered
characteristic of the attitude of diplo-
mats concerning some of the funda-
mental problems of today. They make
no Roadway, register no definite pro-
gress in any direction, and seem tim
idly hesitant about the steps that
ought to be taken.
This apparent inability to cope with
world issues springs not only from
ignorance-it can, in some measure.
be traced back to the uncertainty sur
rounding the impending preferential
change in the United States.
What will Roosevelt do? That is
the question asked almost everywhere,
United States is one of the world pow
ers, great Importance attaches to the
answer of such question. 1t is
reasoned, in foreign capitals, that
President Hoover's hands are tied,
and that anything he might under
take might-or might not-be upset
as soon as his successor has been in
augurated.
Roosevelt has never posed as an au-
thority in the field of international
affairs; in fact, it was very evident
that he studiously avoided references
to these problems during his election
campaign, but since November he has
informed himself carefully, not only
through conferences with responsible
and intelligent Americans but also
by receiving confidential advices from
his personal agents abroad.
Since he is as yet, as he must be,
a blank leaf in the history of the
world today, Roosevelt inspires this
feeling of uncertainty now so con-
spicuous everywhere.
Asiatic War.
What will the next president of the
United States do, for instance, in re-
gard to the war going on between
Japan and China? No one knows. He
has not committed himself in ad-
vance. 1t is clear, however. that as
soon as Roosevelt assumes office, he
will be compelled to take some part
in the discussion of this problem,
which is just now probably the most
momentous facing the world.
Japan having convinced herself
that all western powers, and the
League of Nations as we'll, have lost
interest in the conflict with China,

Address of Dr.. yarosldv Novak,
CzechOslOUdk Consul General,
Over Radio Recently Tells
How Fight Was Waged.

Permit me first to send a hearty
greeting to you who listen in and
to all citizens of Czechoslovak blood
who have made their home in this
country.
Czechoslovakia had to fight the
spectre of depression right from it's
start in 1918. We found out that it
is good to start fighting depression
Immediately when it begins, nay, even
before it begins-the same way as we
fight contagious diseases. In Czecho-
slovakia we had first to cope with the
consequences of war. With the help
of the American Relief, hunger and
diseases were fought.
The deprecated currency inherited
from the defunct Austrian Monarchy
was threatening the whole economic
structure of Czechoslavakia and of
its neighbors. In a heroic effort the
notes in circulation in Czechoslovak
territory were stamped, half of them
withdrawn, and the other half con-
verified into sound and stable currency.
Finally the Czechoslovak currency
was put on the gold standard where
it remained ever since.
1t was no easy job to maintain the
stability of the Czechoslovak currency
when in 1922 and 1923 the surround
ing countries inflated their currencies
into astronomic figures. But Czecho-
slovakia lived it through. It's middle
class was saved from ruin.
Have Protective Measures.
The activities of private banks,
savings banks and insurance COM
panies, are strictly regulated and
supervised by the state authorities,
and bank failures are rare. This is
a strong weapon against panic which
we often find at the start of depres-
sions
An important step in the fight
against depression started in 1920
when the state bought enormous
estates and resold them to two and
half million peasants on an easy
financing plan.
Labor insurance for casualty and
sickness had been universally obi
gatOry institution for many decades
and does much to decrease the risk of
labor and to prevent poverty in labor
families. Fire and life insurance are
In Czechoslovakia just as popular in
the last three generations as in
America.
In 1925 very important type Of
state organized and supervised pri-

In the western branch Of the American

what has been wrought in the way Of
class IA baseball for 1888, Thursday,
the elements permitting.
The western teams returned home
after successful invasions Of the East,
and with good weather, one Of the
four cities, Milwaukee, Kansas City,

duce enough Of turnout to win the

The best eastern inaugural crowd,
Is expected, was ct Columbus, where
7.0l4 highly hopeful fans came out
to watch the Red Birds against Min
neapolis.
Kansas City, with . new regime
headed by Iris Speaker, Lee Keyser
and Joe +. Brown, or Milwaukee,
which ranks as one Of the best base
BAH centers anywhere, appear to be the
better possibilities to win the trophy.
However, Minneapolis, home Of the
1882 champions, might do It.
The Millers win open with Toledo
as the opposition, st. Paul will have
Columbus and Indianapolis viii play
at Kansas City. Louisville win op-
pose MilwaukeeS Brewers In their
first home appearance.
Minneapolis came within two put
outs Of adding q half game to its
lead Tuesday, but rain halted the ex-
ercises ct Louisville before the re-
quired four and one.hali innings
