Samaritan Role Is
Enacted BIZ Pastor.

Blooming Prairie Heroic efforts on the
part of the pastor who exemplified the
Good Samaritan role in disconnecting
electric wires on burning car saved
the Joe Handke family of near Walt
ham from the impending danger of a
gasoline explosion and prevented the
auto from burning. The Reverend
Volkenant and son, upon returning
home, noticed the excited woman's
husband attempting to extinguish the
greedy flames by throwing sand and
mud on the fire. The flames, undaunted
by futile attempts at being smothered
by the dirt, leaped even higher. The
pastor asked for pair of pliers, and
though the car was filled with smoke
the tools were finally obtained from
under the front seat. The Reverend
Volkenant struggled around the front
of the car and jerked out three wires
leading to the coil box. This accom-
pliShed, he started for the rear of the
car and suggested that the gasoline
line be disconnected so that it would
not catch fire. Brother" nervously
sputtered Mr.. Handke, "the gasoline
tank is under the dash where you've
been working with the wires"

Makes Fishing Reel
From TUO Pie Tins

Fairmont-The opening of the bull
head season found Ray Mattson, 16-
year-old-newsboy, meeting success with
his latest invention, reel for throw
line. Ray liked the way the new reel
worked, for he caught Is fish in no
time and still showed up on the dot to
go out and make his collections from his
customers. In constructing his outfit
Ray bought two 15-cent aluminium pie
tins, put them together back to back
and soldered the rims. He fixed a
crank on the outside, put in an axle
which pivots upon post going into
the ground to held the reel. Two
hundred feet of throw line were used on
the homemade reel, which device, ac-
cording to its inventor, could not be
beat for Keeling in the line after the
throw. Ray is all set for lots of bull
head fishing, and expects the reel to
work even better for pike fishing.

Rural Rehabilitation
Tree Seedlings Sold Out.

With over a million seedlings re-
Gently placed in the hands of Mime
sofa farmers who wish to restore their
drought-killed woodlots, the supply OF
seedlings propagated by the Minnesota
Rural Rehabilitation Corporation is
exhausted, Lloyd I. Nelson, the Re-
settlements administrations assistant
state director of rural rehabilitation in
Minnesota, stated this week.
Orders for over 100000 trees must be
cancelled by the Rural Rehabilitation
Corporation and the unusual demand
for seedlings is an indication of how
widely the Importance of woodlots is
recognized by farmers, Mr.. Nelson said.
With soil conditions in most areas of
the state now ideal for the establish
ment of seedlings, farmers desiring to
secure good stands this year are urged
to Immediately contact local nurseries
who can supply adapted varieties.
Information on the proper methods
OF planning the windbreak planting
can be obtained through the local
County Agricultural Agents office.

Another Evidence
OF Early Settlers.

Grand Rapids-A copper spearhead,
uncovered in road building operations,
was found recently by Charles Kersting
of the West Cohasset neighborhood
who operates a maintenance machine
on state highway No. 6. The spear
head is slightly bent, where it was
worked over by tractor or grader,
but is otherwise in perfect condition
1t is five and half inches long, and
casual tests indicate that it is made
Of tempered copper. The fact that no
tools of similar nature have been found
among Minnesota Indians causes
students to believe it indicates the
presence here, many years ago, of in
habitants with a different type of ad-
vancement than the early Indians
possessed.

MAP PLANS FOR
fire FIGHTING
Forest Supervisor Announces
Three Period Plans for Fire
Fighting This Year.

Supervisor Ray U. Harmon of the
Superior National Forest has an
nounced plans for standing army Of
fire-fighters to be held available in
every section of northeastern Mime
sofa at moment't notice during the
coming season.
The announcement was coupled with
warning against carelessness on the
part of fishermen, campers and vaca-
tionists. A hazardous situation always
exists in wooded areas and those who
start campfires should exercise care in
extinguishing them.
Three plans for fire control have
been formulated by the rangers to pre-
vent such widespread destruction of
forest lands as occurred last year when
$4,000 acres were burned over.
One schedule for fire fighting has
been prepared for the low-fire periods,
the second for the intermediate periods,
and third for the high fire periods,
such as existed last summer.
In the low periods, half of the look
out towers will be manned with about
ten per cent of the standing crew on
duty. In the intermediate periods, all
lookoutS will be manned with SO per
cent of the crews stationed throughout
the forest, while when hazardous con-
ditions exist, all lookouts will be manned
and 800 men will be stationed at camps
ready to push equipment to new fires.
In addition to these 800 men, about
$50 others will be stationed in outlying
posts. This standing army will be
augmented by $500 CCC boys and as
many lookouts as will be necessary
in the eevnt fires break out over
large area.
This entire system will be joined by
a telephone and radio system, with
the parties in communication at all
times with lookout rangers and with
each other.
Small parties of five to 20 men
stationed at various posts throughout
the forest will be able to handle fires
which may break out over small areas.
They will have equipment necessary for
their work and will have crews from
nearby CCC camps available in the
event the fires become serious Mr..
Harmon said.

TRY MINER WANT ADS

Blatz Company FaUOrs
Newspaper Advertising

| At series of meetings during the
last two weeks, at the offices of the
Blatz Brewing Company, Milwaukee, at
tended by many distributors, branch
managers, statesmen, sales and adver-
Using executives from all over the
United States, the advertising and sales
plans of that company for the spring
and summer of 1887 were presented.
I The announcement was made that
newspapers had been selected as the
principal advertising media for this
Years advertising plans.
| 1t is said that the Blatz schedule for
1897 is one of the largest releases Of
newspaper copy on beer that has ever
appeared locally and throughout the
| country.
1--WE believe in newspaper adver-
| tising," said Hal Johnson, advertising
manager of the Blatz Brewing company.
Last year, 1886, Blatz enjoyed the
largest sales volume of Blatz beer in all
| its Sc years of continuous production
of beer and soft drinks.
1--WE attribute this success to two
| factorS-firSt,, of course, the very ex-
cellence of Blatz beer; and second, to
the extensive newspaper advertising
campaigns that appeared throughout
the country, in hundreds of markets.
THE result has been a decision to
still further increase our newspaper
schedules, and sales records so far this
year have already indicated that Blatz
is repeating, and will hit a new high
in consumer preference and sales
volume.
Last fall Blatz started a building
program, making additions to the enor-
nous Milwaukee brewery, and much
new and most modern equipment was
installed, so as to insure an increased
volume for 1887 over 100000 barrels.
The increased demand for Blatz beer
indicates that even these increased
production facilities will be taxed to
capacity.
"This year leading newspapers
throughout the country are carrying
more Blatz advertisements, larger in
size, than ever before, and we look to
set new sales records in every territory"

DURING a running battle with
river pirates far up a Chinese
river an American missionary and sev-
eral companions were hard pressed to
save their lives. The pirates had
firearms and were making it very hot,
because a wide gap in the framework
at the back of the boat allowed many
bullets to come through. In despera-
ton one of them measured the gap
and found it to be II feet long and 2
feet wide. The only available ma
terial to work with was board feet
wide and feet long. This presented
q problem, but after careful considera-
ton the man who had made the meas
urements and who had experience as
q carpenter figured out way to cut
the board and rearrange it to cover
the gap This was done. With this
barrier better shooting could be done,
so the pirates were soon discouraged
In their chase and the men escaped.
