Golden Wedding

Deciding to "do it all over again"
an aged man and his wife applied
at the clerk of courts office in
Carlton for marriage license and
were remarked on their 50th an
niversary of their first wedding.

the same house for 48 years. Mr..
Wertman, the groom" was a rail-
road ticket agent for 38 years

News Review

One result of the otherwise SEEM

recently-at Berlin and Berchtes-

British Empire, and Adolf Hitler,
chief executive of the German gov

further conversations took place in
London, this time between Prime
Minister Camille Chautemps and For
eign Minister Yvon Delbos of France
on one side, on the other British Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain, For

Halifax. Interest in these conversa-
tons was heightened by the an
nouncement that Monsieur Delbos is to
visit several central European capt.

Former AskOv Man
Low On Large Job

H. B. Kilstofte, formerly of Askov,
but who for the past few years has
been resident of Winona, was re-
Gently awarded the construction of
a new grade school for that city; the
location of the new structure is only
one block from Mr. KilStofte's home.
The building of this new school
was made possible through a govern
ment grant of $4,000 while the
local district will furnish the balance
of the cash to make up the total of
the low bid which amounted to about
100000. There was only two or
three thousand dollars difference be-
tween the three lowest bidders.
Mr. Kilstofte now has under con-
struction series of government pro-
jects along the Mississippi river, in
addition to other jobs.
Work on the new Winona school
will be started at once and it is
estimated that it will take ID months
to complete the job.

Pretty Structure.
The dimensions of the new church
are 47x25 feet and its comfortable
seating capacity is 125. 1t has full
basement equipped with tables and
chairs for special occasions. The Win

are fitted with asbestos shingles,

building are of brick. Nuwood makes
up the walls of the interior and a
30inch steel furnace forms the heat

No President,
No Citizenship

Because a Holdingford man
could not name correctly to Of
ficials the president of the United
States this person did not receive
the citizenship papers for which
he made application. He called
Colonel Charles Lindbergh presi-
dent, for to him he had been that
for some time.
Appearing last week in court at
st. Cloud was the 61-year-old
Holdingford man who had been
in America since 1891. He was
asked to name the president of the
United States and promptly an
swered, 'Lindbergh." Asked later
why he thought Lindbergh to be
president, he replied that he had
heard so much about him that he
thought he was president.

Snow Forces Are
Ready For Call
OF Winters Fury
1850 Miles of Highways
Will Get Efficient Service
When Snow Comes.

The Minnesota highway depart
ment'S great snow removal fleet of
404 units, costing approximately
$750,000 and manned by LOO eX-
perienced storm fighters, is modified
this week, ready to do battle with
the inevitable flakes, drifts and winds
that bury Minnesota's 1850 miles
of state highways each winter.
In preparation for snow control on
the states highway system in the
winter of 1878, new equipment
has been purchased by the depart
ment, some of which will replace
outmoded machinery. Other units
have been added to the fleet in an
effort to eliminate the necessity of
hiring expensive private equipment
at times of heavy, long storms. The
new units are larger, as modern as
the market offers, and will pillow wider
Swaths in quicker time. Their ac-
QUESTION will permit the department
to provide users of the states high
ways with open roads this winter in
even speedier time than was possible
during the critical storm periods of
the record winter of 1886
1887.
In the snow control fleet there are
IA rotary plows, 375 "V'' and "one-
way" type plowS and Is tractor
plows. On the average, these are
operated by four men each. Both
plows and men stand ready to work
"a hours a day during periods when
billiards. are raging. In addition the
department has 1875 motor graders
for shearing ice off hard surfaced
highways.
Cost is Big Item.
Snow control costs in the winter
of 1867 totaled about $1,750,000,
which sum came from the mainte-
nance divisions budget.
"In addition to the vital need of
keeping the roads open for COM
merce and travel necessary to the
life of every community" N. w. Els
berg, state highway commissioner
pointed out, cleared highways in a
normal winter produce revenue
enough through the gas tax to vir-
tually offset the cost of snow control"
Because the Minnesota climate has
little or no thaws in the freezing
months, the snow that falls remains
loose and shifts continuously with
the winds and some routes have to
be plowed several times a day due
to reappearing drifts. While 1900
miles Cor over 5000, 900 feet, of snow
fence do remarkable job in check
ing this drifting, they are not cap
able of preventing all drifting.
at is the departments policy, so
far as funds and weather extremes
permit, to keep Minnesota's highways
as open and safe for travel in the
winter as in the summer" Commits
Sioner ElSberg said, land everything
sensible and possible which can be
done will be done to keep our trunk
system cleared this winter so that
commercial and pleasure traffic can
move in unhampered safety, and SC
that no hardshipS shall be suffered
by communities dependent on the
highways"
In addition to the states equip
ment for snow CONTROL the various
units of local government of the state
own machinery which in toto dwarfs
the state highway SYSTEMS fleet. This
equipment, however, is used exclu-
Sively on county, township and NUM-
cipal thoroughfares.

really very excellent. If more peo- pie only knew 1t. But good results depend largely upon the cut and on proper seasoning. Again q little sugar used with the other seasoil- ing greatly improves this meat :. gives 1t q sweet, delicate taste that iS quite similar to that of the little lamb chops; and it seems to take away the strong flavor most people resent when eating mutton.
 Directions for frying or broiling are Scar chops on one side, turn and sprinkle with salt, pepper and q little sugar. Turn again and season the other side: turn again. and pei haps again. Of course you know that in frying or broiling any meat that is to be cooked medium or well done, tho best results are obtained by turning the meat from two to four times, being careful not to prick 1t 50 that the juices will run out.
 As 6 garnish for mutton I like currant jelly best of all. Thefe IS just something about itS tart-sweet flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the taste of mutton. Try 1t and sec if you do not discover new goodness in this economical meat.

A Very Old Sandwich,
 That Most Men Like

Perhaps the man at your house is of the type that never eats cold iunchcons. In that case, he will not quibble about the sand wich suppcrg served to him on Sunday nite.
 But if he happens to be q victim of the quick lunch habit-which usually means ham and cheese sandwich and q cup of coffee, with Q sundac of some sort for dcsscrt-- he isn't likely to give the Sunday nite cold snack q. very hearty well come. You'll have to think of something so original to put be- tween bread slices, that he'll never suspect them of belonging to the sandwich family.
 Here's q novel recipe that just fits that description:
 Toasted Bacon Apple Onion.
 Sandwich
 Make apple sauce and season it slightly with cinnamon. Toast bread on one side only. Butter the other sidc and spread generous ly with the apple sauce. Add lit- tic finely minced Bermuda onion or o(mit, if onion is not likcd). Cover with two strips of very thin bacon and place under the broilcr. Broil under q low flame until the bacon cirIs and the onion browns slightly. Serve as an open sandwich, or with another piece of hot buttered toast. Gut in four sections and serve very hot e Vsst

MANLY FARE

Sandwiches take on . hearty
 masculine quality when you serve q platterfui of sausage rolls for sup- per. Here's no dainty tidbit ht for tea time fare, but man-sized rolls stuffed with fat and sizzling sausages drenched in a snappy hot tomato sauce. To make them trim the crusts from several slices of bread. Then roll q small cooked sausage In each slice and fasten firmly with tooth pick like 2 snug little jacket. Place them all in c baking tin and pop in . moderate oven (376' Y. for about 16 minutes or until delicately brown. In the meantime you can stir about and get the tomato sauce ready. It's simple, too. Just melt 2 table, spoonfuls of butter in . saucepan, add 8 tablespooniuls flour for thick ening and blend well. Toss in h teaspoonful salt, . judicious dash of pepper, N teaspoonful Worcester. shire Sauce and 1 cupful milk, and cook, stirring constantly, until thickcned. Then slowly add Y cup full of Tomato Ketchup. You'll need to stir this thoroughly, too, until It's well blended. Served hot over the saus""s rolls, 1t makes right smart d:.., for supper or snack ing parties.
