SaUe Holiday Mail as
Train Catches Fire.

Willmar-The unfortunate discovery
of flames in the east end of the mail
cars on eastbound train No. % before
they had chance to make much head
way undoubtedly saved large amount
of holiday mail in that car from being
destroyed by fire. Conductor Bergstrom
discovered the fire in the mail car as
he was walking through that car en-
route to sleeper which was behind the
mail car. At that time the train was
passing through Grove City. The con-
ductor grabbed the fire extinguisher and
attempted to put out the flames, put
was unable to do so. At Litchfield the
fire department was called and the
flames extinguished. Some damage was
done to the mail in the east end of the
car, but very little was destroyed The
mail was from western points. The
origin of the flames is a mystery.

ADULT FORUM
DRAWS CROWD
Capacity Attendance at First
Meeting Shows Popularity
of Study Group.

The first meeting of the season OF the
Adult Education Forum held on Thurs
day was greeted with an attendance OF
seventy-five and indicated that the
Forum was a popular feature. The at
tendance almost filled the room at the
Memorial High school, known as the
music room, and should future meetings
draw a larger attendance, more room
will needs be provided.
THE Constitution and the Supreme
Court" was the subject discussed at the
first meeting. This was timely sub
iect since the Supreme Court OF the
United States has Voided the AAA and
since Governor Olson has decided to
make the power of judicial review by
the Court the chief issue of his Sena-
torial campaign.
Frank P. Bourgin, local Junior Col
lege instructor, led the Forum discussion
and pointed out that the power of the
Supreme Court was inconsistent with
democratic government and how the
power as exercised by the majority
members acts as a drag upon decent
SOCIAL IeSlS4aGlOl' IO1IlS 4uANle4 ulGO
the subject, Mr.. Bourgin said judicial
tyranny may ultimately endanger our
Constitution by making it unfit to serve
present day needs"
The subject for tonight'S meeting is
equally appropriate. Mr.. Bourgin will
speak on Personal Liberty and the
New Deal" The argument that the
New Deal and government interference
in general is violating our liberties
promises to be the subject on which g
large part of the 1886 election campaign
will center.

be well to see that each troop COM

Highway Safety Expert

4 MILLIONS of Americans recently
IFA read an article entitled And
Sudden Death" which painted Wv
idly the horrors of accidents, the
inevitable mangling of bodies, the
Incredible pain of steel crushing
fiiEsy bones.
Doubtless many drivers, as a re-
suit of reading that article, check
ed their brakes and tires carefully,
even cut their normal speed 10 to
20 miles an hour. But the most po-
tent friend of Northumberland still
roams at large in many cars on
many highways-car5on monoxlde:
The man behind the wheel be-
comes ttrowsy-acciiert! He gets
a hcadacha-he applies his brakes
too s,owly-accident! He becomes
car sick--swerves too suddenly
he's Off the road! Manned victims,
even fatalities, all due to carbon
nnuoxlGe!
For all improperly adjusted mo-
tor, plus lack of enough fresh air

ELY COM. CLUB
Continued From Page One)

This was more than the budget called
for but was occasioned by additional
expenses incurred at the request of the
city council which could not be legally
met by the council.
The club joined the request made by
several other cities that the rule on
WPA be lifted inasmuch as to allow
borderline cases to be put at work, now
prohibited by the rule fixing registering
on relief before November LIST in order
to be eligible.
Engineer Somero stated that only IA
were now taken care of by WPA and
that large number were clamoring for
work but were ineligible owing to the
rule. He further stated that the city
had made requests for projects which
would keep $50 men busy for the coming
twelve months.
The meeting adjourned early to give
portion of the members an oppor-
tunity to participate in the American
Legion dinner and meeting later that
evening.

Moose Chases Man, But
Only Wants to be Fed.

Bagley-The moose chased the man
into the barn, but the animal wasn't
ferocious-he just wanted to be fed.
When the animal started for him,
however, Hildar Hawkinson didn't know
it was quite tame, and received quite
a scare. Hawkinson, employed at a
sawmill near Bagley, got up in the
morning to care for the horses, but
when about half way to the barns he
heard brush nearby cracking and
stopped to investigate. To his aStonish-
ment, he saw that the animal making
the noise was a large moose. Moose
are exceedingly scarce in that vicinity,
the last one being reported a year ago.
HaWkinSon ran for the barn and
slammed the door on the moose. When
he peeked through a window the moose
stood outside, disguised because it had
failed to catch him. Since then Hawk
inSon has learned that the moose is
quite tame, and now he feeds it every
morning.
