years; all the while being helped
by Mr.. Austerberry until he had
finished the eighth grade.
In his twenty third year he
married. and shortly thereafter
he decided that he would go in
business. One wonders why? Pos

CAP; LOSES FINGERS

Warren Laust. Is year-old son of

hands, face and neck but can lay
claim to being a real Spartan. Fol-

cap, which tore off one finger and left
the thumb hanging by flesh. the boy
took out his knife and completed the
amputation. 1t was not until the next
day that his parents were aware of
the fact that he had injured himself
Finding the cap on the ground and not
knowing what it was, Warren thought
by cleaning it out he could make a
whistle out of the cartridge The
effect was more than a whistle. it was
a real bang. Barring unexpected
complications. he will be alright
again soon. but minus the two fingers.

WILLOW Woman Is
HOnOred Guest
In WASHINGTON

Little did Mrs. f. B. Linsley think
when she left her Willow River home
a few weeks ago to visit her son.
Emery B. at Aberdeen, Wash, that
she would be made an honor guest at
large Mothers day program spon-
sored by the Elks lodge of that city,
which is headed by her son as exalted
ruler.
The program. very elaborate one,
was attended by about $50 Elks, their
friends and families and a special
feature of the evening, which came
as a complete surprise to Exalted
Ruler Emery B. Linsley. says an
Aberdeen paper, was the introduction
Of Mr.. Linsley's mother, who was then
escorted to a seat of honor next to
her son. A huge bouquet of flowers
was then presented to her.
Mrs. Linsley writes that she is hav-
ing wonderful time, that the seen
cry is fine and that she is getting out
to see it as much as possible. She
describes the hills covered with for
ests as immense, the snow capped
mountains and the Pacific ocean in
the distance as sight every one
should see.

V. F. w. MEMBERS
REVIVE INTEREST
State Officers Attend and Talk at Re.
organization Meeting Of RObey.
Freml.NOvak Post.

A rally of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars was held at the armory in Pine
City Sunday afternoon at which the
following state officers of the organi-
cation were present: r. R. Barry,
commander; Carlyle o. Fay, state adj
jutant, and J. M. Jorgensen, state
quartermaster. The occasion was the
reorganization of the Robey-Freml-
Novak Post No. 1913 with headquarters
at Pine City.
Two veterans were taken into the
organization, namely, H. G. Wheeler.
a Spanish American war veteran at
Hinckley, and Wilfred Mowray, World
war veteran living east of Hinckley.
The veterans were given the obliga-
tom of the order by the ritual team
of Anderson-Nelson post of St. Paul
and presented with their emblems.
Short talks were made by the state
officers, the principal one being made
by Commander Barry. THE V. F. w.
said Mr.. Barry, lis the best fighting
organization of the veterans in exist
ence today. We may not be as large
in numbers as some other organiza-
tions but we have our convictions as
to the need of the veteran and we
stick to these convictions and never
waver. The V. F.. w. is a military
lodge and all its members must have
seen actual overseas service. The
basic principle of our order is COM
radeship, such as was felt only by
the men overseas. Spanish-American
war veterans and also veterans who
saw service overseas after the close
of the World war are eligible to men,

FENCE MAKES WAY
FOR MODERN BEAUTY

One of Pine cOuntys ancient
landmarks fell before the improve
ment squad this week when the
iron fence surrounding the court
house was removed. For nearly
three quarters of century the
sturdy fence, made of half inch
iron rods, with appropriate dee ora
tive corner posts and gate posts,
had surrounded the county court
house at Pine City as an efficient
means of protecting the lawn from
dogs. runaway horses, and people
who will cut corners. However,
dogs are now chained, horses have
disappeared, and people-well they
are more civilized-so the comfy
commissioners decreed that the
fence could be removed and the
lawn be beautified to that extent.
