Man Escapes Death
In Fall From Train.

Detroit LakeS-Having fallen from a
moving freight train, Arnold Harjio, 81
year-old resident of Ishpeming, Mich,
is still alive, but confined to a Detroit
Lakes hospital and claims he's through
with freight trains. And he's probably
out of a job. When he fell off the
freight train last week he eliminated
himself from the north woods job. He
thinks his left foot will freeze too easily
no circulation. He was coming from
Dakota'S harvest fields to go to work
in MichiganiS north woods. Broke,
hungry and tired, he had hoped a.
freight train. Threshing hadn't paid
him much, nor had potato digging
just a few miles west of here he fell
asleep. When he woke up again he was
on warm, comfortable passenger train,
heading east. He didn't appreciate it
though, for his left foot panied him un-
bearably. Two toes had been practi-
cally severed from his foot when he
dozed off and fell from the flat car on
which he was riding, and was caught
under the rear wheels. At present
Harjio is in the local community hos
pital-not hungry and tired, but still
broke.

ment and supplies for serving may be
obtained at small cost through school
funds, donations, money raised by COM
munity entertainments, a monthly fee
paid by children who eat the hot
lunch, or supplies furnished by parents.
Generally, there are four methods of
serving the hot lunch-the pint jar
method, the hot dish prepared at home
by parents taking turns, the hot dish
prepared by home workers supervised
by home economics teacher or a COM
mittee of mothers, and the hot dish
prepared at the school by the pupils.
The latter method is practical in one
or two-room schools, but where there
are more than Is pupils the paid worker
system is best. 1.-The School Lunch"

Not 'Ducky' Getting
Ducked Hunting Ducks.

Jordan-Getting ducked while hunt
ing ducks isn't so "ducky," thinks Roy
Mertens, employee at the Independent
office here. A week ago Saturday
morning was the opening of the duck
season and Roy went hunting. Now
there isn't anything so strange about
that, for thousands did likewise that
morning. Besides getting ducks, Roy
got ducked, which perhaps was some
thing he didn't expect to get when he
bought license and duck stamp. 1t
seems he had seven or eight nice birds
in the bag and had just shot down
another when he got into boat and
went cut after the duck. Roy reached
over to get his duck and like a flash
the boat tipped. Splash-the hunter
got ducked! On top of getting wet he
lost five of his ducks and dropped his
gun in about five feet of water.

Passenger Comes to
AkeIey, Wrong State.

Akeley-A passenger on Great Nor
thern train, 70-year-old woman, ar
rived in Akeley, Minnesota ION time"
one day last week, but had gone to the
wrong Akeley for her destination was
Akeley, Iowa. Having bought a ticket
in Minneapolis to Akeley, the ticket
man had assumed it to be Akeley,
Minnesota, since the woman was travel
ing on the Great Northern The at
tendant had not inquired about the
state from his customer. She was
placed aboard her train and landed in
the Minnesota village. The woman be-
gan to realize after she left Sank
Centre that she was on the wrong
train. The conductor, however, did not
feel that he could allow his passenger
to get off at that time of night and so
she decided to continue to Akeley, ar
irving there at seven o'clock in the
morning. The situation was explained
to the local agent, who Immediately got
in touch with officials, and six hours
later the woman, ticket in her pos
session, boarded the train to Akeley,
Iowa. During the interview she re-
solved she would never again attempt
trip alon.

WELL-DRESSED
WINDOWS.

Gone with the windows of yesteryear
are old-fashioned curtains with fancy
loops and heavy fringe. But even
though styles in window curtaining may
change, the principles remain the same.
Figured wallpaper calls for plain cur
tains, and figured curtains for plain
walls. Curtain fabrics with small de-
signs are suitable for small rooms with
small windows. Large rooms with large
windows call for larger designs. The
large, formal patterns often seen in
damaSks are for spacious formal rooms
Chintz or cretonne curtain create a
friendly rather than formal atmos-
phere.
The character of room usually de-
cides the type of curtains For ex-
ample, luStrouS satin draperies are not
used in a rough-plastered room with a
huge stone fireplace, beamed ceiling
and easement windows. Curtains for a
room of this kind are usually made OF
rough-textured fabrics such as crash
homespuns, or burlap.

BERNARD NOT
STATE Clio HEAD
Congressman Refuses CIO Job;
Publicity Unauthorized"
He Asserts.

In a radiogram dispatched while ey
route and received by Anthony M
Stefano, Secretary to Congressman
Bernard, Congressman John T. Ber-
nard, Eveleth, Farmer-Laborite, stated
that the recent publicity released from
the Washington Office of the COMMITTEES
for Industrial Organization relative tc
he being State G. 1. o. Director, was
unauthorized" and that his accep-
lance was impossible" since, he stated
It stand now as always for unity and
organization of all labor"
He reiterated his stand that his
mission in the district last June was
to organize the steel workers and
miners of the Iron Range, a field in
which the A. F. L. has made little at
tempt to organize
Amplifying his statements previous
ly made in the radiogram, Congress
man Bernard in a special delivery air
mail letter to his Office stated, MY
long association with the labor move
ment has proven that organized labor
has but one enemy-the entrenched
of my duty and a privilege as a Con-
gresham who was put in office by the
rank and file workers of my district to
help organize the workers regardless of
aftiliation." "On many occasions" he
stated, II have specifically asked the
A. F. L. officials to assist them in the
organization drive, to speak at their
rallies, and have informed them that
my Office was at their disposal My
feelings toward the c. l. o. are the
same"
He further stated, II think the time
IS ripe for immediate action to heal the
breach that has threatened the de-
Struction of the labor movement.
Therefore, upon my return to Washing
ton next month, I shall endeavor to
get the progressive bloc together in an
attempt to formulate ways and means
to get the two great labor movements
united. 1 think the rank and file
workers and the progressive leaders
throughout the nation will compel the
leadership of both factions to bury
the Ratchet and settle their difficulties
in courteous and amicable manner.
SelfishnesS, greed and intolerance has
no place in organized labor These are
the tactics that characterize the econ
omic royaliSts. I feel confident that
the A. F. L. and the c. I. O. leaders
must and will get together"

A STURDY MAKE
SAVES MENDING.

Children'S clothes constructed for
wear-and-tear resistance help to keep
the mending basket empty. Pockets
and buttons that hold firmly in place,
sturdy seams, and generous hens all
help small garments to stand vigorous
play.
Torn patch-pockets are a familiar
mending job to most mothers. Pockets
often tear because they are too small,
are placed too high, or are not firmly
anchored. 1t saves strain to cut
pockets large enough to hold the child's
clenched fist and to place them so low
on the garment that hands cannot push
them down. Two rows of stitching
around the edge help to hold them
firmly, and twilled tape placed on the
under side of the garment at the top
of the pocket will save tearing at the
point.
Twilled tape is also good reinforce
ment for buttons, especially those
around the blouSes of suits for small
boys. Very small buttons placed on the
inside of the garment directly under
the large ones will also help to anchor
supporting buttons. When sewing on
buttons, pass the needle directly
through from the large to the small
button with the fabric between.
Double stitching not only adds to the
appearance of a garment but also
strengthens any places where strain is
likely to break the threads, such as
around armholeS, underarm seams,
neck edges and packets. Wide hens
make for economy and long service in
dresses and small boys blouseS.

Safety education is very important
item in our schools today. 1t should be
taught to all classes. Teaching or
preaching safety, however, is not
enough. If the only thing a child gets
out of safety education is bundle of
facts he can recite to the teacher or
visitors, don't believe we have taught
him thing. He must "do" what he
is being taught-he must do what
people preach to him. A famous author
once said, II have quit trying to be
good, but I have not quit trying to do
good"
That is the thought. Cultivate safe
habits in the children through safety
education. Safety education, must, of
course, be based on intelligence, facts,
and ideals, but it must have coupled
with that desirable and safe habits.
Safety education is a conception of
life or a state of mind 1t must, how
ever, at the same time create a ma
chine or a thought for building eff

Corn for Pastime.

Belle Plaine-Most folks have a hobby
and that of Mrs. VIM. Korkow, age 10,
is quite unusual for someone of her
years. Mrs. Korkow's hobby is husk-
ing corn, bit of farm work she has
always enjoyed doing. Since moving to
town she has made it a practice every
fall to go back to the farm for corn
husEng. Her son reports that his
mother has just completed fifteen con-
secutive days husking at his place,
and that she averaged thirty bushels a
day. Grandma Kerkow may not enter
any state huSking contests, but her
friends are sure she would be an easy
winner in any husking competition with
other grandmas of the state.

BOWL CHOICES"
DEFEND RECORDS
ON GRID TODAY
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Two of the nations three lead
ing Rose Bowl candidates take
the field today, each pitted against
a worthy opponent.
The two are Fordham, with its
seven blocks of granite, and Pitts
burgh, with its Mad Marshall
Goldberg.
Fordham opposes New York
University, in New York. Pitts
burgh meets Duke University, in
Durham, N. c.
Unconquered Fordham, clinging
tenaciously to its hopes for the
Rose Bowl bid, enter today's game
a 4-to-1 favorite. Even so, the pos
sibility of another such upset as
that of a year ago, when an under
dog N. Y. U. eleven unceremoni-
ously defeated Fordham, has
aroused such interest in Gotham
that more than $1,000 people are
expected to witness the game.
VIOLETS RECORD POOR
The Violets of N. Y. U. have
been defeated by North Carolina.
Lafayette and Georgetown, while
the Rams have moved steadily and
VIGOROUSLY through seven games
without defeat and with only a
tie with Pitt to mar an otherwise
perfect record.
Pitts Panthers, too, are quoted
at 4 to to win over Duke. Elk
cept for Johnny Nicholson, quar-
terback, injured in the Penn State
game, Pitts powerful squad is in
prime condition for today's battle.
Among other prominent games
of today are those involving Notre

: NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The
Broadway bookies are singing
The Army and Navy Forever
with patriotic fervor today.
The reason for their patriotic
:outburst is that the Army-Navy
classic has developed into the big
.geSt betting game in years.
This is the richest gold mine
we've uncovered in long time"
chortled one price maker today.
II venture to say millions of dol
lars will change hands on this
one game. Up to last night I
had 100000 in the till and I
know some of the other boys
have handled much more.
1--WE expected to make Army a
slight favorite because of that
licking Princeton handed Navy,
but nobody seemed to care about
the odds and so we are quoting
them to 10 without a squawk.
So we can't miss no matter how
the game goes"
LITTLE VIOLET MONEY
The bookies think Fordham is a
.4-to-1 cinch to trim N. Y. u, but
even at these enticing odds there
is little N. Y. U. money in sight.
They feel almost as sure that
Stanford will gain revenge on Co
lumbia for two previous lickings
and have installed the Coast team
a 3-to-1 favorite, with some nib
bles reported from old grads who
think Lou Little may have another
miracle up his sleeve.
Notre Dame is held at 8 to S
over Southern California but the
price may lengthen out to 3 to
because nobody seems to want the
Trojans at that price.
PITT is So
Pitt is quoted at to 2 over
Duke with plenty of Short-end
money on tap from lads who think
Pitt is about due to take one on
the chin.
The books seem out of line with
their 10 to 7 on UCLA to trim to
Missouri team that was in a bruis-
ing scoreleSs tie with Kansas only
two days ago. Anybody who takes
less than 3 to on the short end
should have his head examined.
Plenty of action is reported on
Southern Methodist and Texas
Christian at 9 to 10 and pick 'en1.
San Francisco is favored over
Michigan State at 6 to 5 and the
same price holds for Georgia Tech
over Georgia with all the action
centered on the latter game.
Louisiana State has been in
stalled at Z to over Tulane and
if you think Florida can take Au-
burn you may have 2 to ! for your
money.
Holy Cross is held at to S over
Boston College which seems to be
a fair price in view of their past
performances, and the book is
closed with Nebraska a 2 to !
choice over Kansas State.
