saw such huge bathrooms in all
my life; some of them were easily
the size of an average room. One
room on the first floor was

fireplace, walnut paneled walls,
great long windows and the most
attractive chandeliers. The draw
ing room that is at the disposal
of the guests was formerly the
ballroom and it is quite possible to
talk privately at all times, due to
the massiveness. The meals that
are served are of the best and are
served in a perfect manner. This

Coop Education
Would Be Goal
A Group of Citizens Meet
ON Court House Lawn i'm
Pine City Monday.

A number of persons from Rock
Creek, Pine City, Hinckley and
Askov who are much interested in
the cooperative movement, met on
the court house lawn at Pine City
Monday evening to discuss the pos
sibility of organizing all cooperative
organizations within the county into
a league to carry on educational work.
Beauford Johnson of Rock Creek,
was elected temporary chairman of
the meeting and those present were
of the opinion that such educational
work is very much needed and that
the time is probably ripe for launch
ing the program. After considerable
discussion, it was decided to bring
the matter before a countrywide
meeting which is to be held at Sand
stone Monday evening, June %, with
a recommendation that that meeting
discuss the problem, and if considered
feasible some action be taken to
launch the movement. A committee
to bring the matter before the Sand
stone meeting was elected as follows:
Beauford Johnson, chairman; H. R.
Buck, secretary; and Oscar Lind
roth, vice president.

.Derailed Freight
Car Hits Engine
AT Willow River
No One is Injured But
Much Oil and Merchan-
disc is Destroyed.

There was plenty of markings" for
a real railroad wreck in the village
of Willow River early Friday morn
ing and some lives could easily have
been lost, when an oil truck on a
heavily loaded northbound freight
train jumped the track. The derail-
ment of the truck occurred just below
the switch where the a. m. pas
senger train was sidetracked. The
front wheels of the oil truck took
the main track on which the freight
was moving and the hind wheels rode
the sidetrack on which was the pas
Senger train. This resulted in the
locomotive of the passenger train
being rammed broadside by the truck
The passenger engineer and fire.
man saw the approaching danger and
jumped, thus avoiding serious and
perhaps fatal injuries to themselves.
The engine was badly damaged and
several thousand gallons of oil, which
was in the truck, leaked out. No
fire, however, was started and this
prevented further loss, although there
were four box cars loaded with ban
anas and other merchandise thrown
from the track and damaged.
Trainmaster Henry J. Councilman
of Duluth, soon had his wrecking
crew on the job and train service
was again in operation at GAS a. M,
although it took all day to clean up
the wreckage.

Legion Juniors Get
Some New Equipment

The Askov American Legion Jun
ior baseball team piloted by Conrad
Christensen is making a good rec
ord so far, having won two and lost
two regular scheduled games. The
team will play a total of IA games
this season.
The team can really go to work
in earnest now since it has received
two practice baseballs and a bat from
Edwin Sorensen of the local hardware
store, and six new balls, six bats and
la bat bag from the makers of
"Wheaties." The baseballs are Of
fetal cork center Wilson balls and the
bats are professional Louisville Slug
gers.
Commenting on the gift Manager
Christensen said, eve surely needed a
new stock of balls and bats, and we
are plenty glad to get them. The
whole team wants to say thanks a
million to the Legion, the Askov
Hardware company and the Wheaties
people for giving them to U.S."

Standings of the Teams.

Two ten inning games featured the
baseball in the Pine County Baseball
League Sunday with Sturgeon Lake
losing to Rutledge in battle for first
place 10 to 9, and Askov winning
from Willow River to 7. The 9TH
er game between Pine City and Den
ham was won by Pine City 20 to O.
The Rutledge-Sturgeon Lake game
perhaps drew the most attention
since it was battle by the two I'M
defeated teams at the top of the per-
centage column in the Leagues stand
lngs. Sturgeon Lake started out
strong, getting seven runs before the
home team could get going, but in
the sixth inning the home guard gath
cred total of eight scores to 60 one
ahead. Then there was no scoring
until the eighth when the Lakers
made two more to take the lead.
This could not be maintained, how
ever, and Rutledge made one in it's
half of the ninth and the tenth. Fol-
lowing are the box scores of the
games reported:

Four Women In
Auto Accident
Seventy.three Year Old
Woman Has Leg Broken;
Pierced by Fishing Rod.

When one travels the highways
frequently he or she is almost GER
tain to see accidents of various de-
grees of seriousness, but one which
might have been fatal to one or more
occurred three miles southwest of
Sandstone Friday afternoon at the
Grindstone lake road.
Three sisters and their 70 year old
mother were travelling from Duluth
to their Minneapolis home in a 1885
Chevrolet sedan when the car went
out of control at the Grindstone lake
curve on the pavement. The car
apparently swerved with considerable
speed and finally turned over across
the roadway of the pavement. When
passersby arrived the women were
still inside. Those who were free
were helped out of the car after which
it was tipped back onto its wheels
so that the driver who had one leg
pinned under the vehicle, could be
eXtricated.
When this was done the three sis
tiers were found to have suffered but
few injuries, but the mother had
received broken leg which was also
pierced through with a section of a
steel fishing rod. She was given first
aid by a local physician and taken
on to her Minneapolis home.
Apparently the steel top of the
car saved one or more fatalities and
certainly it was evident that it saved
some of the occupants from more SER
ious injury.
