Five Years.

Death ended a full life of activity
Friday when Mrs. Anna j. Nelson

daughter, Mrs. Sophus Petersen, In
Superior, Wis. Mrs. Nelson had suf,
fered with her final illness of cancer
for one year during part of which
time she had been confined in hos
pital.
The deceased was born in Jutland

to the United States in 1882 where
she settled in Hutchinson. She was
united in marriage in that commun-
ity on March IA, 1888, to Martin Mel
son and resided there until 1908 when
they moved to Iron River. Wis. There
her husband passed away in Septem-
Der, 1925, after which in 1926, she
moved to Superior where she made
to Askov to live with her son-in-law
and daughter. Mr.. and Mrs. Ludwig
Madsen. 1t was while in the COM
munity that she became stricken
with her last illness. Everything was
done for her which was thought pos
sible to prolong her Life among her
loved ones, but to no avail-the time
was near for her work here to be
ended.
Mrs. Nelson was a kind woman and
made many friends while in this
community who sympathize deeply
with her bereaved children.
The surviving children are Mrs.
Sophus Petersen and John Nelson of

TWO HEAT DEATHS
AND ONE SUICIDE

Pine county came in for it's share
of the heat toll in human life when
Mrs. Anna Sorensen of West Rock.

both passed away on July 10.
Mrs. Sorensen had been a cripple
for many years and the prolonged

to bear.

tiations was approved beforehand by
Italy.
AS it is, the potentalities of a
clash because of German designs on
Austria have vanished, but the wider
perspective of a new Triple Alliance
no less to be feared-is fact. For,
the agreement is synonymous with a
concrete, a most definite, understand
ing between Berlin, Rome and Vienna,
and Mussolini already has shown that
he is willing to support German for
eign policy in matters that are now
pending. This is shrewdness on the
part of the Italian dictator; it is also
a gesture of appreciation of the not
forgotten fact that Germany refused
to take part in the League of Nations
economic sanctions against Italy.
There is between Italian fascism
and German naziSm merely a degree
of difference; the theology of the two
systems is essentially the same, and
for that reason liberal forces in Eu-
rope are beginning to take notice.
Fortnight it not conceivably be that
Italian and German fascism might
unite against the radicalism of Rus
STA and France, those two other great
powers bound together in an alliance
resting upon the foundation of partial
sameness in fundamental principles?
And it is not plausible to assume
that what has been going on these
last few days is merely a realign-
ment of forces to offset the effects Of
the Franco-Russian alliance, with it's
Polish and Little Entente ramifica-
tions?

ly alone in the center of continent
which hated her, suddenly finds new

Standings of the Teams.

New dark horses are appearing in
the Pine County baseball race as the
last half schedule advances toward
its final stages. At the close of the
first half it was apparent to many
sport fans who have followed the
teams carefully during their playing
season, that two or three teams
would have to be accounted for in
the final half, with possibly Will
low River having the edge due to the
several sluggers on that teams
roster, but that team has not yet bro
ken into the victory column in the
two games played in the second half.
Sturgeon Lake, of course, does not
figure in the standings as it gave up
its rights in the League to enter
other tournament competition.
Rutledge, however. has gone to pre-
dicted form and has won both of its
starts. Moose Lake who started slow
~, is coming along at rapid pace
now and is making it miserable for
those who yet have to cross bats with
them. Askov, champion of the first
current period and the new entry.
Yellow Banks CCC Camp, won its first
game Sunday when it beat DuQuette
IL to Z.
In the other games Sturgeon Lake
defeated Willow River Is to 9; Rut-
ledge beat Askov Fl to and Moose
Lake defeated Denham 10 to 6. Fol-
lowing are the box scores of the
games:

The Cubs are only one game out
