DO YOUR ROOMS
MEET DEMANDS
OF FOUR POINTS?

There are four viewpoints from
which to judge your ROOM. CD Line:
you don't want a graceful curved
chair beside straight, angular table.
(2) Color: check the floor covering,
wallpaper, pictures, draperies and ac-
cessories, as well as the upholstered
furniture. 90 Finish: this means the
exposed wood surfaces of the furni-
ture. Cd Proportion: you don't want a
massive table beside a small, dainty
chair. If there's something out of line
on any of the four counts, put it at
the top of your list of furnishings to
be replaced as soon as possible.

SMALL ROOMS SHOULD
HAVE SMALL DESIGNS

Generally speaking. the smaller the
room. the smaller and less pronounc-
ed should be the figure or design on
wall paper. carpet and draperies.
Avoid, if possible. hanging pictures on
figured walls. Use them only in case
of actual decorative necessity.
Lighter colors. and slender. taper
ing proportions. are more appropriate
for the small room. High ceilings de
mand tall cabinets. highback chairs,
and the like; low ceilings, Of course,
the opposite.

his tongue would stick to cold iron. He did not believe it, and tried it. His tongue stuck fast to a grader parked in front of his home, and was forced to stand there for some time before he was found. He could not shout, but in trying to do so his tongue was badly bitten and blood was running from his mouth. Hot cloths were applied to the iron and in a few minutes the heat re- leased the boys tongue, but he was a badly frightened boy. This is the second case known, as Vic Rivers, now senator elect, to the legislature stuck his tongue to an iron bridge in Dawson many years ago and was compelled to remain until the bridge was heated before he was released.

John Cornelius was the son of
washerwoman, but he became a
lion in London literary circles-and
that rise did not give him happi-
ness. John Cornelius wanted to be
an important novelist and play
wright, but his gift for writing lay
not in weighty novels or signifi-
cant plays, but in brilliant stories
of fantasy. The story Of his life Is
told partly by friend who knew
him from his boyhood to his death,
and partly by John Cornelius own
words.
The story is a fine piece Of por-
traiture-sympathe and under
standing.

Herman Schmidt
Committed Suicide
Fear of Hlt-Run Accident Thought
To Have Prompted Rash
Deed

Herman Schmidt, % year old Lit
tie Sank youth, committed suicide
at his home Tuesday afternoon by
shooting himself in the chest with
a 20-guage shotgun while Casper
Pasch, Osakis, chief of Police, wait
ed with warrant for his arrest.
It appears Schmidt was involved
in a hit and run accident in Osak-
kis Sunday and while no one was
injured, a car was damaged with
the owner requesting an investiga-
ton to determine who was involv-
ed.
Mr.. Pasch learned Schmidt had
been involved and in violation OF
the law had left the scene Of the
accident without making a report
to the authorities. He saw Schmidt
Monday and told him to report In
Osakis Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock and when Schmidt failed to
appear, took a warrant for his ar.
rest and began a search.
Arriving at the Schmidt home
Mr.. Pasch told Schmidt to come
with him. Schmidt requested time
to go into the house and change his
clothes, Mr.. Pasch agreeing. Now
ever, Schmidt entered the house
procured the shotgun, which he is
said to have carried with him mos
Of the day, went out through the
front door, placed the gun tight te
his breast, and pulled the trigger
So far as officers could determine
only one person heard the sound o.
the discharge. Schmidt died in
stantly.
Since Sunday Schmidt Is said t.
have appeared worried and mem
bers Of the family and others were
at loss to explain his moodiness
While the accident involved VIC
lation of the law, it was not 81
serious that the youth should have
contemplated suicide to avoid ar
appearance in court. However
from all that officers can gather
this is what prompted the rash
deed and his destruction.-Lont

member and this with other COM
plications caused the death Of Mr..
Nelson.
Funeral services, which were
largely attended, were conducted
Sunday afternoon at o'clock at
the Long Bridge church with Rev.
Carmen Thronson officiating. In
terment was made in the church
cemetery with Helmer Elan, Will
liam Holtberg, A. o. Undem, Will
liam Olson, Henry Sweno and Ben
Witsoe as pallbearers.
Surviving Mr.. Nelson's death are
two nephews and eight nieces, 9TH
err members Of the family having
preceded him in death. Mr.. Nelson
was a single man and since coming
to the United States with his par
ents, engaged in farming. He was a
pioneer who refused to grow old
with the years and to the last
maintained lively and intelligent
interest in the affairs of his COM
munity, the county and state. Be
cause of his 68 years residence in
the county, he linked the present
with the past when this section of
the state was wilderness, and his
friends were numbered by the
score.
Christian N. Nelson was born at
Nomson, Norway, on June 81, 1858.
He was the son of Nicolai and Per-
nilla CPeterson) Nelson, who emil
grated from their native land when
Chris was 13 years of age. They
had been farmers in the old coun-
try and naturally took up the same
calling in the United States.
| When Christian N. was 81 years
Of age, he set out to make his own
fortune in the world. He opened up
a good farm in Little Sank town
ship. He was public spirited citi-
zen and gave freely of his time and
effort for the public good. Active
in republican politics, he took a
leading part in the affairs in the
town and county and no one was
| better known in the town than
Chris Nelson. For many years, no
one knows how long, he was the
assessor for the town Of Little Sank
and he was also interested in relig-
ious affairs connected with the
Long Bridge church, which was
built on his farm.
In his SO years residence in Lit
tie Sank, he saw the region emerge
from the wilderness and take It's
place among the well developed
sections of the state. He saw the
hunter come and go; he saw the
lumber industry rise, flourish, and
fade away; he saw grain rising to
great Importance in the life Of this
region, and then give way to diver
sified farming; he saw Transports
ton by OK teams pass, and its place
taken by railways, gasoline vehi-
cles and airplanes. All these he saw
from the door of his Little Sank
home.
Chris was thoughtful and OBJ
serving man, and fully appreciated
these changes as they had passed
before him. Probably no century in
the worlds history has ever seen or
will ever see, more or greater
changes than Chris Nelson observ-
ed in the IS years he lived in Lit
tie Sauk.-Long Prairie Leader.
