ACTIVE HOLIDAY
WORKER PASSES
w. A. Dunbar of Cambridge, Was One
of Organizers of Farmers
Organization.

The National Farmers Holiday AS
ISOLATION lost a tireless worker when
w. A. Dunbar of Cambridge. passed
away Friday evening at 9 o'clock.
Death came to Mr.. Dunbar while he
was engaged in his home listening to
a radio address by Gov. Hjalmar Pc
tersen. He arose from his chair to
go to an adjoining room for an in
slant and died suddenly from heart
attack
Mr.. Dunbar's loss at the prime age
of about SO will not only be felt deep
ly by his immediate family, but by his
community and state. He was an auc-
tioneer by profession, but together
with this was the owner of large
farm near Cambridge and of the Ar
lington hotel i'm that village which
he purchased about a year ago. In
this latter enterprise he was associ-
ated with his son.
Helped Organize Holiday.
According to N. P. Nedegaard of
Askov, Pine county chairman of the
Holiday, who attended the funeral of
Mr.. Dunbar, the deceased attended the
first meeting in this county and spoke
for the organization of the association.
At the time of his death he was vice
president of the state organization.
He was active in his home commun-
ity, working always for the better
ment of surroundings.
Besides his wife, Mr.. Dunbar is sur
vived by daughter and son. A
daughter died in March and since
that time Mr.. and Mrs. Dunbar had
been caring for her little son.
Floral Tribute Large.
The funeral service was held from
the Lutheran church Monday at p.
m. at which Cong. Ernest Lundeen
spoke tribute to the deceased. John
Bosch, national and state president of
the Holiday Association, was also
present to pay last respects to his de-
parted colleague. The floral display,
included in which were flowers from
both the State and Pine county asso-
Citations, spoke glowing tribute, better
than words, the esteem in which Mr.
Dunbar was held. Burial was made
in the Cambridge cemetery.
Immediately following the cere-
mony and while the officers of the
state Holiday Association were to-
gether, Carl Bankers of Lac Qui Parle
county, was chosen as vice president
to succeed Mr.. Dunbar.

'LAkERS WIN
FIRST GAME
Wright Falls A Victim of
Vicious Pitching and
Batting.
Pine City Loses to Mi1aca
in the Other Game of
Tourney.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
proved good representative in the
first round of the district tournament
at Milaca Sunday by winning its first
game. Wright of the Lake Region
League. was the opposition and the
Lakers swamped the up-country boys
under an avalanche of hitting and SUI
perb pitching to win Is to 1 in seven
innings.
A rare feat of pitching for this Sec
ton of the country was exhibited in
the game by Monroe Cunningham, the
Sturgeon pitcher. when after the first
man up was safe on base on an error,
he struck out the next IA batters to
face him. In the seven innings Cum
ningham struck out Is batters, al
lowed only one hit and issued no
passes. His team mates gathered 20
hits off three pitchers.
Lakers All Play Well.
In all, three errors were chalked
up against the Sturgeon Lake players
and with the bat they were potent,
getting several extra base blows. Ken
meth (Dutch) Gay was the longest dis
lance hitter, getting two three-baggers.
Klar batted out two twO-baggers and
made the stellar catch of the game
when in the seventh inning he raced
after fly ball and took it from over
his head while running with it.
The other game of the round was
won by Milaca over Pine City to 1.
Milaca will be the opposing team with
Sturgeon Lake next Sunday in the
championship game of the district.
Following is the box score of the
game:

AGED BROOK

B. j. Kelsey Passes Sud-
denly at the Age of
Eighty.

Which Lasted Fifty
seven Years.

Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon of last week fer B. j. KEEL
sey, one of Brook Parks Oldest and
most public spirited citizens. Mr.. KEEL
sey passed away Sunday. August %.
DR.. r. N. Burress of Duluth, and Rev.
Merlin McGladery united in conduct
ing the ceremony. Though failing In
health Mr.. Kelsey was confined to his
home only three weeks before his
death which came as a severe shock
to his family and friends. His wife
and all of his family were with him
on his last day here on earth.
Byron j. Kelsey was born in Fond
du Lac, Wis, on March 10, 1856.
When he was but one year OF age his
family moved to Cherry Grove. this
state, where he spent his youth.
Married 81 Years.
He was united i'm marriage on March
20, 1879 to Mary D. Taft at Red Wing
and for more than 81 years they have
walked hand in hand through life
sharing joy and sorrow alike. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kelsey, two years after their mar
riage, went to Bookings county, S. D.,
where they made their home for IL
years, spending most of that time in
Aurora where Mr.. Kelsey was in the
mercantile business. They next moved
to Minneapolis and resided four years,
after which they lived at Kenyon five
years where Mr.. Kelsey was in the
banking business.
1t was in June, 1899, when the fam

ginia, this state, Mr.. Kelsey had been
in the mercantile business in Brook

KERRICK AGAIN
COMES THROUGH
Animal Community Fair Draws Large
Countrywide Attendance on
Saturday.

The Kerrick community as usual
staged successful fair Saturday. The
event was the 18th annual one to be
held in that community and as usual
attracted hundreds of people from
near and far. The spirit shown by
those in attendance and the ideal
weather largely compensates for the
hard work put forth in sponsoring a
task of that kind.
Due to the drOuth no farm exhibits
we're even attempted to be shown, but
the lack of this was made up for in
the women's department which ex-
hibited everything from needlework to
baking and handiwork about the
home,-the women certainly came to
the rescue and made the lack of farm
exhibits less noticeable. Mrs. A. w.
Conway of Askov, judged the wom-
ems department.
The committee in charge had ev-
erything arranged to give each attend
ant a lively good time in a days
diversion from the general grind of
making a living. There were all
kinds of games, sports and excitement
and it is predicted that everyone liking
that type of entertainment, went home
with the idea in mind that he or she
had received fine day of healthful
fun.
kittenball and Dance.
A kittenball game between Askov's
ArcherS and Bruno was played with
the Askov boys being beaten II to 8.
The Bruno boys proved themselves
worthy of their STEEL by command
ing the situation right from the start
and never relinquishing their lead.
They made six runs in the first in
ming, four in the third and one in the
fifth, while holding the Askovites to
one in the third, one in the fourth
and one in the seventh inning. Bruno
has a snappy team and it was indi-
Gated by the caliber of play that it
would give good account of itself
in any competition in this section.
The dance in the evening drew a
fine crowd but because of car trouble
the orchestra was two hours late.
This resulted in several of the cou-
pies leaving.
All indications are that the rev.
enue end of the project will show a
gain this year.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

1t made quite a stir in Europe the
other day that Adolf Hitler, chief ex-
ecutive of his country, announced that
the German army would be next year
about twice its present size; immed-
lately thereafter report came from
London to the effect that Josef Sta
lin, practically the head of the Rus
sian government, had broadcast what
was considered very belligerent
speech (since denied in Moscow, and
last Sunday at Avelino Dictator Ben
ito Mussolini assured a vast audience
that Italy could at any time now
mobilize an army of eight million
men.
All of which, coupled with the re-
Gently formed Franco Russian mill
tary alliance, means that certain great
powers are preparing themselves for
war. BY that is not meant any i'm
mediate war, but merely that as long
as the attitude of mutual suspicion
and deep-seated hostility remains; as
long as great nations keep on in
creasing their armed forces, there
must of necessity result nothing less
than war-sOme day.
Counter Move.
Facts akin to those mentioned above
may have been considered as a part
of the basis for plan alleged to have
been very discreetly launched by
President Roosevelt; a plan largely
in the nature of "feeler"; plan,
too, which, as soon as it had become
known, was officially characterized as
non-eXistent.
Europe, informed through diplo-
mats in Washington, did not discount
the story, and the general belief is
that, despite expedient denials, there
is, after all, something to it,; only,
it is not quite ready to submit to
the light of publicity.
In very brief form the alleged plan
called for a conference between the
president of the United States, King
Edward of Great Britain, Stain of
Russia, Hitler of Germany. Mussolini
of Italy, Lebrun of France and rep
resentatives of China and Japan to
consider ways and means by which
world peace could be made secure.
Could such a plan actually be car
ried out, it would rebound to the glory
of it's author who would be, rightly,
elevated to the status of genius.
But there are drawbacks, and it is
sufficient to mention just this one
that it would be unthinkable for
Hitler and Stain to sit at the same
conference table. And then this. Out
of such a conference most likely some
sort of international agreement would
have to come. The world is sick and
tired of agreements, alliances, treat
les, ETC., for it has come to the con-
clusion that they mean nothing. One
already is in force-one that should
be powerful enough to Danish forever
the fear of war, namely, the BRAND
Kellogg treaty. That document is so
clear and so plain that it would be suf-

DROUTH NEEDS
ARE DISCUSSED
County Men Meet With Governor and
Other Authorities in st.
Paul Tuesday.

N. P. Nedegaard and Owe Herman
sen of Askov, members of the county
drouth relief committee, Evan Ham
mer of Bruno, and e. B. Greenwald of
Sandstone, appeared in conferences
with Governor Hjalmar Petersen, Vic
tor Christgau and other relief authori-
ties in St. Paul Tuesday.
The purposes of the conferences
were to ascertain the amount of drouth
relief which can be counted on for the
farmers in the county and state the
coming winter. 1t was learned that
only $4,000 was made available by
the last congress for the state of Min
nesota. This being very small sum
according to the real need, it was ad-
vised by the farmer representatives,
that the President be contacted with
a view to calling a special session of
congress to appropriate more money
for the use of farmers in caring for
their livestock.
The danger was pointed out by
President John Bosch of the Holiday
Association and others that if more
money is not forthcoming, great losses
in stock will occur and this in turn
will result in suffering among the
unfortunate owners of same. Cover
nor Petersen has been invited and will
meet in conference with President
Roosevelt at Des Moines, Iowa, today,
at which time the relief situation will
be discussed.
No more than the $4,000 for Min
nesota is available until appropriated
by congress, it was pointed out by adj
ministrators.

WORK ON PINE
CITY DAM STARTS
Construction of 247-fOOt Concrete Pro-
ject VIII be Completed in
Two Months.

A WPA crew of 16 men began work
Monday, August "a, according to A. T.
Gilbertson, district WPA director, by
placing a Golfer dam for the con-
struction of a special designed grav-
ity section dam at Cross lake (Ching
Wahana) in Pine county. The build
ing of this dam is an auxiliary pro-
ject to the Snake River Diversion
Project which was completed by WPA
on July z. The purpose of this diver
sion project was to create a reservoir
and aid in flood control.
This dam will be 247 feet of over
all concrete and will take two months
to complete. 1t is being built on the
side of the old original power dam
two miles out of Pine City and will
be constructed in two sections. The
first Golfer is being placed on the site
of the Snake river. This section will
be constructed while the water is
diverted around the shore line of the
river. As soon as the Golfer dam is
completed for this section so that the
water may be pumped out, the crew
will begin removing the mud silt from
the old dam and will clean the stream
bed of loose rock in preparation for
the concrete.
This project is one of the dams be-
ing constructed in WPA District No.
2 with the cooperation of the division
of drainage and waters of the state
conservation department. Fifteen type
&C" dams have been completed in this
district to date, according to ]. H.
Downs Of Brainerd, who is in charge
of all construction of these dams for
the conservation department.

were many hungry stomachs among
the farmers and did this single
handed. The stalwart, energetic and
attractive young man, he said, be-
came the governor of the state and
made possible the organization we
have now. This organization, he said,
is now in better shape than ever be-
fore, and it took great strength to
build it, and now, he said, we have
the misfortune to lose our leader. 1t
cannot be denied, Mr.. Peterson said,
that our great governor died martyr
to our cause. And having built this
great organization and put it into
our hands, Mr.. Peterson went on to
say, we never saw fit to give Governor
Olson friendly legislature.
Must Elect Progressive House.
He said that he hoped when the
new governor, Elmer A. Benson, takes
office, we will give him a progressive
house. In the senate, which holds
over this year, Mr.. Peterson said
there are many fence riders and that
if Farmer-Labor representatives dom
mates the house with Farmer-Labor
governor, these fence riders will move
in our direction.
When you have house and SEN
ate, said Mr.. Peterson, that will pass
real social security legislation, it will
not be necessary to use wasteful ges-
lures of passing resolutions which
mean nothing.
No greater tribute can be paid to
a martyr than to follow up the pro-
gram he laid out and in building our
organization to greater strength we
will build monument to our departed
leader, Floyd B. Olson. ~
