A Different Sauce

Cranberries are very light, as
one pound equals one quart. In
making sauce or jelly, only u the
usual amount of sugar is used as
Is required in making other pre-
serves or jelly; that is l cup of
sugar to 2 cups of juice, or l cup
Of sugar to cups of berries.
Here is a different cranberry
sauce which is easy to make and
which never fails:

Sandstone Lady
Dies In The City
Mother of Sandstone Thea
ire Man Had Been iii for
Past Several Months.

Death eased the illness of Mrs
Lena Thorne, mother of Guy Thorne
of Sandstone, Monday night at the
home of her daughter in Minneapolis.
She had been ill for the past several
months and it was hoped that she
would recover, but as her illness con-
tinued hope was lost by her family
and they gradually prepared them
selves for the final shock. Every
thing possible in medical care was
given Mrs. Thorne, but she had lived
her life and it was time for her to go.
She was born on Christmas day in
1864 at Yates City, ILL.,, and the FAM
lily moved to the Sandstone COM
munity many years ago where they
had farmed and had been engaged
in business. However, since the pas
sing of her husband several years
ago, Mrs. Thorne had resided in her
residence in Sandstone where she
had been active in social circles and
lodge work. She was a member of
various lodges in the village and was
always a friend in time of need and
sickness to her neighbors and the
residents of her community. She was
a we'll known musician and for many
years entertained at various func-
tons.
Mrs. Thorne is survived by six sons
and two daughters, among them Guy
of Sandstone. Funeral services will
be held today in Minneapolis and
Montevideo and burial will be made
in the family lot at Montevideo. The
bereaved family has the sympathy of
a large circle of friends.

Ditch Digger Strikes
Gold Under Old Walk

Leslie McElhose of Preston, pos
sibly thought "thar's gold in them
thar hills" when he recently found
a 2O-dollar gold piece while dig
ging a ditch to lay water pipes
under what was formerly an ele-
waited walk in front of the old
Farmers saloon building in Pres
ton.
When passers-by stopped to ask
the ditch diggers whether or not
they had found remnants of by
gone days, the diggers began JOSH
ing about having dug up old skele-
tons and bag of coins. Sudden
ly McElhose, who was digging
ahead, exclaimed that he had just
found one-a 50-cent piec e.
That's no half dollar" said the
other worker Didn't you ever
see a gold coin before?" Upon
closer examination the 50-cent
piece proved to be $40 gold piece,
dated 1873 1t was almost as shiny
as when it came from the mint.

Tax Fund For
Counties Largest
In State History
Pine County Gets $95,4ll
AS Share of Gas Tax and
Road, Bridge Revenues.

The one-cent increase in the gas
tax, voted by the last Legislature
results in the largest allotment OF
funds since the law went into effect
in 1925 More than six and hall
million dollars in state money was
allotted to 81 Minnesota counties
for highway purposes in the form
of State aid. ALLEGATIONS were made
last week by the State Board of Allot-
ment, consisting of State Treasurer
c. A. Halverson, State Auditor Stat
ford King and N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner.
Pine county will receive sos, All
in its allotment, which includes S75,-
500 from gas tax division, S12,41l
from the one-mill tax and $500 for
construction of c. A. r. No. "a. Carl
ton county will receive a total OF
S66,451; Aitkin S94,161; Kanabec
S52,16 and Chisago will get $50, 161
The funds consisted of 81 1862, $50 OF
the revenue from the one-mill road
and bridge levy, and S5,30O,OOO which
constitutes the counties share of gas
oline tax revenue.
For the first time in Minnesota
history, the S5,3OO,OOO in gasoline tax
money allocated to the counties may
be expended entirely upon county
roads by the county governments, OF
any part of it up to so per cent may
be re-allocated by the county gov
ernments to the townships for town
ship roads This, however, is mat
ter of discretion left entirely to the
county boards.
Increased Revenue.
This year the counties will also
share in the increased highway rev.
enue made possible by the one-cent
additional gasoline tax enacted by
the last Legislature. Their share OF
this additional revenue is estimated
at about 100000, and with it most
of the counties can match the $3.50, 0OC
in federal secondary and feeder road
money which this year, for the first
time, is to be allotted to the coun-
ties rather than the state for Sec
ondary road construction. The coun-
ties are required to match this $780,
900 federal money dollar for dollar
and, in addition, provide necessary
right of way, engineering and super.
vision service, estimated to cost then
an additional S250,000.
Without the additional gas tax rev.
enue, most counties were in danger
of being unable to take advantage
of the new federal assistance because
anticipated revenues had already
been obligated for promised projects
Had this situation prevailed, few
counties would have been in posi-.
ton to pass along any funds what.
ever to the townships under the new
law.
