DUQUETTE FAMILY
HAS A BAD FIRE
Small Children Spill Kerosene Near
Stove to Cause Loss of Home;
Narrowly Escape Death.

A disastrous fire destroyed the home
occupied by the M. A. Klein family
at Duquette Wednesday afternoon of
last week and narrowly missed burn
ing the children at the same time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Klein were at the barn
doing chores and the three little chill
dren were left alone in the house.
In playing around they upset can
of kerosene near the stove and al
most simultaneously the entire house
was on fire.
When Mr.. Klein noticed the fire he
rushed to the house to find that the
children had climbed into bed and
covered themselves in fright. He
picked up the three children and in
carrying them out dropped the baby
to the floor. He ran back and res
cued the baby but in doing so was
badly burned as was the little one,
however, not seriously.
Everything the Kleins had in the
line of household goods, clothes and
supplies was totally destroyed. Pub
lie spirited citizens in the community
are taking up subscription in their
behalf and all who can are invited
to leave at the Duquette store any
thing they can give in the form of
money, household articles and cloth
ing.

UNIT
MEETS AT ASKOV
Fair Crowd Hear Delegate to Ma.
tiOnal Committee of Action
Give Report.

About 1875 members of the Farmers
Holiday Association were in attend
ance at the local unit meeting in the
D. B. S. hall last night.
The chairman explained that the
board members had been called to
Mora last Saturday to attend a dis
trict meeting where they W. re advised
solicit funds for the promotion of de-
sirable legislation and instituting
test cases throughout Minnesota. A
written petition for this purpose was
secured wherein each member is
asked to contribute &c.
Again the board members were
called to county meeting Monday
where the same question was to have
been discussed, but all the time was
taken up by speaker and no action
was taken on the matter.
After some discussion motion was
made to drop the matter; this motion
was voted down. Then a motion was
made that each member subscribe
81, this motion was also lost. Finally
motion was made, seconded and
carried that each member subscribe
what sum he felt he could afford.
Technically the Farmers Holiday
Association is striking against the
payment of interest or interest bear
ing debt. In this connection the mat
ter of paying obligation to the closed
bank came up. Arthur Rueber was
called upon to explain the attitude
of the banking department. Mr.. Rue
Der stated that the state department
had authorized him to entertain COM
promise settlement offers and pro-
ceeded to explain the procedure in
such cases.
Delegate Gives Report.
The chairman called on Owe Her.
mansen to give report from the re-
cent meeting of the National Com
mittee for Action held in Chicago in
the middle of November. Mr.. Her.
mansen gave a very good report from
this meeting, taking his reports from
the various sections and explaining
several incidents from the conven-
ton. From the south for instance, he
stated that share cropper generally
got nothing. In the matter of blowing

CIVIL WORKS MONEY
IMPROVES PINE CITY

Robinson Park at Pine City is be-
ing improved under the Civil Works
Program, the improvement consist
ing of filling in dirt to raise the
level of the park and cutting out
the poorer trees. This is a much
needed improvement as the park has
been about a foot lower than the
streets adjacent to it, thus causing
the park to flood whenever there was
heavy rain.
The park, which lies between main
street and the N. P. depot, was given
to the village many years ago by
James Robinson. In the early days,
box-elder and elm trees were planted
and some of these have grown to be
good specimens while others have not
done so we'll. The undesirable trees
are being removed and cut into wood,
and other more attractive speciments
will now be planted.
The improvement of the park is
furnishing some much needed en-
ployment to about Is men.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Tuesday of this week the recently
elected one-party German parliament
opened it's session for the purely for
NAL and wholly insignificant purpose
of ratifying orders and decisions al
ready enunciated by Chancellor Adolf
Hitler and his government.
In France the Camille Chautemps
government surprised everyone by OBJ
tanning votes of confidence on the bud
get prop sal which it has resented
to the chamber of deputies; until last
Saturday afternoon a cabinet crisis
was quite definitely expected, but it
did not materialize, and as conditions
have changed now, it is not as certain
as political wiseacres have had it,
that France will experience, again the
ordeal of change of government, this
month.
From Moscow comes word that
Maxim Litvinov, foreign minister of
the Russian S"viet republics, has re-
turned from his wholly successful
journey to Washington and Rome;
forty-eight hours later, the United
States ambassador, William G. Bullitt,
arrived at the capital of Russia to
look around for suitable accommoda-
tiOns before he returns with a report
to President Roosevelt; as soon as a
proper embassy building has been
found in Moscow, Bullitt will install
himself and his staff.
Spanish Revolt.
Nearly always seething with revolt
in one form or another, Spain has
again passed through the sufferings
incident to even minor revolution;
it appears from dispatches that the
anarchistic element of the country
went on the war path, bombed public
buildings, set fire to others, killed
right and left and, generally speak
ing, made itself quite obnoxious; what
political causes may be back of this
seemingly sudden move is not known
here, but the government is taking
extreme measures to prevent the re-
volt from spreading, and to make GER
tain that it will not recur.
And, speaking of revolts, the Free
State of Ireland is bit upset these
days, too, for President canon de
Valera has adopted the defiant atti-

Bruno Couple
Married so Years

A happy event took place at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Mach in
the Pleasant Hill neighborhood near
Bruno Sunday evening when friends
and relatives helped them celebrate
their golden wedding anniversary.
The wedding cake for the event was
baked by Mrs. H. ]. Berglund,
neighbor.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mach have lived in
the Bruno community for the past
IA years, having moved there from
South Dakota where they had home
steaded in Trip county several years
before. They were very successful
farmers in South Dakota and are now
living a retired life near two of their
seven living children, Mrs. Joe Kvas-
nicka and Frank Mach. They have
some chickens, large garden and a
fine orchard.
Their many friends wish them

STATE NOT ILL
FINANCIALLY
State Treasurer SchmahI Points to
Resources I'm Denying RumOrs of
Weakened Structure.

In statement made public Friday
State Treasurer julius A. Schmahl
declared that the financial structure
OF Minnesota's state government is not
imperiled because of an overdraft in
the general revenue and university
funds totaling about $6,0OO,OOO. Mr..
Schmahl said that Twin City banks
have agreed to give the state a ST.
100000 loan for 80 days at 21a per
cent interest for general revenue
fund purposes and also agreed to
hold for 100 days if needed $4,000 900
in warrants issued to school districts
and cashed by them, now in the pos
session of the banks.
To rumors that the states finances
are in a weakened condition, Mr..
Schmahl stated that "the states
credit is so good that we are renew
ing 100000 in warrants and an adj
ditional 100000 loan at 215 per
cent interest, which is an excellent
indication of con fl dence." Mr..
Schmahl continued by saying, should
there have been at any time any
doubt that we couldn't obtain money
from the banks on a reasonable basis
we could have issued certificates and
borrowed money from our more than
$70,00O,000 in trust funds.
II wish to correct false impress
sion by stating that Minnesota will
meet it's interest and maturity on
rural credit and highway bonds and
the money will be placed in the hands
of fiscal agents in plenty of time.
The situation of the states overdrawn
revenue fund is the same as that of
person who is overdrawing his
checking account but at the same
time has set up a S10,000,000 trust
fund and has another million dollars
in a savings account. Such person
would not be considered broke mere
ly because his checking account is
overdrawn."

CLERK OF COURT is
HOSPITAL PATIENT

William Mista, clerk of court, was
unable to keep his appointments in
the north end of Pine county this

to Grantsburg hospital for treatment.
He had been suffering the past week
with several boils and his condition
became worse on Sunday, necessitat-
ing treatment of the infection at a
hospital. He went to Grantsburg on
Monday and will be there for several
days. The appointments for receiving
applications for drivers licenses will

FORD CAR TAKES TO
RAILROAD TRACK

What seemed to be almost as
much of a phenomenon to many
people along the Great Northern
railroad from Superior to the Twin
Cities Tuesday and Wednesday as
the COW singing like canary while
sitting on cactus plant in the
desert, was the round trip made by
the superintendent of the Great
Northern, F. d. Kelsey, and it's di-
vision road master, L. j. Gilmore,
in 1884 Ford VS. sedan.
The auto-train slipped into
Askov Tuesday morning south
ward bound soon after the morn
ing passenger had gone and re-
turned at 1 p m. Wednesday on its
way back to headquarters. 1t pre-
scented a strange thrill to the on
lockers who have become accus-
toned to the more cumbersome
vehicles on the rails, but it is ap-
parent that its advent might mean
revolution in rail travel at some
luIuic uctlo. AZ ledSI II WOulu dp-
pear that a special car of this
type for officials of the road instead
of the more expensive and heavy
ones which have heretofore been
hooked on behind freight or pas
senger train would be more eco
nomical.
The car was similar to any other
car on the highways except that
fastened on the inside of it's wheels
alongside of its balloon tires were
steel flanges similar to those on
regular locomotive wheels. These
flanges guided the car along the
rails.

MUCH HEALTH
WORK is DONE
MantOux Testing i'm Some Schools in
Pine County flinders Tubercu.
lOSis I'm Early Stages.

Considerable work has been done
under the auspices of the Pine Coun-
ty Public Health Association concern
ing the health of the children in
several schools and just recently a
survey or in other words the man.
toux test was given to pupils of the
Hinckley. Pine City and Willow River
schools to determine the extent of
tuberculosis infected children.
DR.. F. F. Callahan, superintendent
of the Pokegama Sanatorium, gave
the test to 301 at Hinckley and found
27S negatives and % positives. X-rays
showed evidence of a childhood or
healed type of infection in five of the
% cases and none were active. In
Pine City $50 were tested with 276
negatives and "a positive cases being
found. Two of these had active pull
monary tuberculosis. At Willow
River 26S were tested and 244 mega
tives and "a positives were found.
Twenty-Five of these have been
X-rayed and none have been found
to be active.
In checking back the doctor found
that most of the reactors, particu-
larly in the younger children, have
come from homes where there has
been active tuberculosis in the fam
lily or they have been exposed to it
in school. Thus it is pointed out by
health authorities that it is import
ant to diagnose the active cases early
and isolate thein.zfrom the normal
population.
This work has been carried on by
the Christmas Seal sale which is now
in progress and the officers of the
Association call attention to the fact
that the number of these little seals
they buy is money spent to aggres.
sively fight the dreaded enemy of the
young folks.
Teeth Examined.
Several schools of the county in
Guiding Denham, Brook Park, Mark
vile, Cloverton, Kerrick, Duquette,
Grasston, Rock Creek, and Beroun,
have been visited by DR.. James Slav-
en-, Pine City dentist, and total of
500 children have been given COM
plete mouth examinations. Cards
were made out for the pupils and they
were mailed to the parents. Health
talks were given on the care of the
teeth and the diet and proper use of
the tooth brush were given at each
school. Mrs. Linsley, president of the
Pine County Health Association, re-
ports that so far this work has been
by insufficient funds and
was performed without charge.

NEARLY 1900
MEN REGISTER
County Projects I'm Civil Works Pro.
gram Total $4,000; Much Work
Being Done.

The Civil Works program in Pine
county is now we'll started, accord
ing to C. r. Boo who is in charge
of this work with his office in the
court house at Pine City. On Tues
day Mr.. Boo stated that another 200
men had applied since last week.
bringing the total nearly to the 1900
mark.
The work is going along nicely in
the various parts of the county and
in spite of the cold weather during
the first three days of this week,
much work was done. The first crews
called will have had their first period
of work by the end of this week and
second crews will be placed on pro-
jects as rapidly as possible so that
fully 900 of those eligible will have
been allotted some work by the end
of this week.
One thing to be remembered by
those seeking work is that Pine
county was allotted $4,000 to be ex-
pended in the county which amount
was to give employment to 413 per-
sons. However, total of 1900 or
more have registered. The C. w. A.
program requires that the first 207
be hired from among those who have
been on relief rolls and the next 100
is to come from veterans with de-
pendents leaving only about one job
for each additional 10 men that have
registered. However, word has come
from the national C. w. A. head
quarters that registration should con-
tinue for a while each day so that
registrations are still open contin-
uously from to IL at the court house
in the engineers office.
