Speeches were given by DR.. AISLE

faculty was also taken. We actu-

His efforts to help youths find

his Slayers of recruiting for the

In connection with the drive
for enlistments now going on in
Britain, recruiting officers have
been active here, and there has
been a large exodus of young men.
Admiral Somerville, however, &C
cording to neighbors, merely
helped those who came to him by
writing recommendations to, their
prospective employers in England.
After he was shot down at the
door Of his home at Castle Towns

poster was found in the hall with

The other said:
"A British agent who has

WILLOW UPSETS
ASKOV QUINTET

The Askov high school dropped two
games to Willow River Tuesday night
to break perfect string of victories
thus far this season. The first team
lost 25 to II and the second team Is
to 10. Willow River has had a fast
developing team all season and it was
indicative in the first game played
with Askov that it would be hard
competition later in the season
Askov was completely out-played in
the first half which ended in a score
of II to 4; but the boys came back
in the second half and outplayed their
adversaries Is to s. However, the
margin was too great to overcome.
Askov has a difficult schedule this
week, being forced to play both Pine
City and Bruno on Thursday and Fri
day respectively. However, it is pos
sible that the Bruno game may be
played Friday afternoon, but no defin-
lite decision has been announced.
Pine City visited Sandstone Tues
day night and swamped the Quarry

AGED KERRICK
WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Josephine SwensOn is Laid t.
Rest at BernadOtte in Family
Burial Plot.

The Kerrick community was sad
dened last Thursday evening when
it was learned that Mrs. Josephine
Swenson had passed away. She had
been suffering from gall stone trouble
for several years but was able to do
most of her house work until week
and a half before she died, when this
ailment accompanied by complied
lions set in, the skill of physicians
and the care of loving hands was to
no avail and she passed away in the
evening at six o'clock at the age of
II years, one month and II days.
Josephine Carlson was born in
Smalland. Kroenbejs Laland, Sweden,
December %, 1858 and was married
in that country to c. 1. Swenson in
1882 Together they came to America
in 1893, locating in Winthrop, Sibley
county, this state.
To this union seven children, four
girls and three boys, were born. Mr..
Swenson preceded his wife in death
on February 26, 1908, and she had
since made her home with her chill
dren. With the exception of one
year, she had spent the past Is years
with her son, Victor, near Oak Lake.
Mrs. Swenson was a good mother. a
true Christian and a member of the
Oak Lake Lutheran church and
Ladies' Aid.
The funeral was held Tuesday aft
ernoon at the Oak Lake church with
Rev. Elmer ]. Johnson officiating.
The body was then taken to Berna-
dotte for burial beside the grave OF
her husband. A large circle of friends
extend sympathy to the relatives.

BUNNY AND BIRD GET
TRICKED BY NATURE

How many have placed their
tongues or fingers to frosty piece
of metal and found that they left
it with less skin and much pain:
If any of the readers happen to
have had this experience, then they
can we'll appreciate the position of
a rabbit near Sank Center. A rab-
bit curiously inspected an axe
which a Sank Center resident had
left near a pile of wood with the re-
suit that he left his tongue where
his head might have been If the
owner had found him there. The
little bunny acted like many cur
ious little boys have done in the
past and placed his tongue on the
axe head. The next morning the
tongue was found, but the bunny
was possibly somewhere in the
woods minus his power of speech.
In Isle, so the story goes, little
Chickadee wanted to rest his
weary wings and settled on an iron
pipe near we'll. He rested his
wings but his tame disposition
attracted a resident who discov-
cred that the bird had it's feet
frozen to the pipe. However, the
kind Samaritan dashed a little
cold water on the pipe and the bird
fluttered away with possibly a
kinder feeling toward mankind.

THREE WARDENS
SERVE AT LARGE
New Offices Created to Assist I'm
Coping With Serious Law
Violations.

The assignment of three state game
at-large was announced last week by
A. c. Hanson, director of the Division
of Game and Fish. The men are
Labe Safro, Shakopee; Victor L.
Schleppegrell, Little Fork; and John
E. Salvatore of st. Paul.
These men, selected because Of 10y
atty and fearlessness, will be called
upon to act on law violations of a
serious nature where local game war
dens are unable to cope with the stu
alton. A fourth game warden will
join the group before March 1 if the
new department plan proves success
full Two more wardens may be
added if conditions warrant.
Schleppegreli and Salvatore last
week began checking fishing viola
tions near the Canadian border and
the Division of Game and Fish is CO.
operating with the state department
of agriculture in this work
1t is interesting to note that two
of the wardens-atlarge, SafrO and
Salvatore, were former we'll known
boxers: about 20 years ago the two
men met in three of the hardest
fought encounters in the history OF
Minnesota boxing. They have re-
manned firm friends with the greatest
of respect for each other since.
