Washington.-The Capital city has
returned to normally. 1t is not the
:. normalcy of Janu-
bocR TO airy, 1885, or the
Normally years Immediately
preceding, but the
normally of the year in which that
quadrennial spectacle, an inaugu-
ration of a President, takes place.
But Washington's normally is con-
dition that comes in cycles and it
matters not how the wheel of life
turns, those who are resident here
get used to it and of necessity they
take the condition in regular stride.
That sounds like Washington resi-
dents are blase. And they are to a
greater extent than residents of
most cities. But paradoxical as it
may seem, native Westinghouse
and a certain percentage of those
in the political field become so ex-
cited that they lose all sense of pro-
portion on occasions such as an in
auguration ceremony. The answer
seems to be personal vanity-a de-
sire to be 'out in front" and to
"show off, by having important
places in parades and having their
names and pictures in the newspa-
perS.
But there is another side of this
Washington normalcy. 1t is the side
of the political powers who have
little concern about the District of
hi r
therein unless those affairs strength
en- the position these political pow
ers hold among their constituencies
"back home"
Hence, under the dome of the
great Capitol building, there is all
the activity of bee hive. The
old timers among the legislators
have learned to proceed with eau
ton and to develop their plans slow
ly, but the newer members of the
house and senate are all agog, each
one with his own pet idea for saving
the nation; each one with a varying
conviction about his own i'm
portance as member of the ma
tional legislature, and each one de-
termined not to overlook a single
opportunity to show the folks back
home that their representative or
their senator has become national
figure.
Then through the corridors, the
halls, committee rooms and offices
there are the hurrying feet of news
paper correspondents, representa-
tives of this interest or that, mes
sengers and lowly members of the
CapitoPs vast staff of carpenters,
cleaners and chore workers. They
are, of course, important only as
they make the Capitol habitable but
they are an unacceptable part of the
picture-of Washington normally.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Today it is nineteen years since
general armistice terminated the
war which was to have ended all
wars And yet, there are many who
think that today the world is ap-
preaching the danger of a new and
vast international conflagration; their
fear is predicated on the fact that
nations are lining up more and more
definitely-in two huge camps, one
that of fascism, the other that of
democracy. That is not saying that
a new war must needs comes in the
near future-in fact, certain signs
indicate that if and when it does
come, it will not be Immediately. But
the political turbulence now predom-
inant has tendency to make gov
ernments nervous, and out of ner-
vousness so very easily may come
those, in themselves insignificant, in
cidents which are able to precipitate
armed conflict.
New Arguments.
During these last few days the
have once more put in bid for a
place in the limelight.
Germany last week, informally and
unofficially, was said to have offered
to mediate between China and Japan
in the ostensible hope of stopping
their war. The proposition was adj
vanced in the form of a trial bal
loon"-just to find out in advance
how it might be received were it
ever to be officially presented. 1t
turned out to be fizzle; in the first
place, Germany already stood COM
mitted because of its treaty of friend
ship with Japan, precluding, thus, the
possibility of unprecedented mediation,
for, it would be evident that in any

Heed Every ''Stop''
Sign, Is Safety Tip
"Stop" signs mean stop!

This was pointed out emphatically
by w. F. Rosenwald, traffic engineer
of the state highway department, this
week when the state highway patrol
was ordered to pay particular atten-
ton to such violations.
The safety chief emphasized that
on remote highway intersections in
rural districts there is a growing
tendency to ignore the sign COM
mands. When a sign reads stop
it does not mean that a driver has
the choice of stopping or going on
through, it means stop!
"Violations of this sort have be-
come more and more numerous in
the fall MONTHS" Mr.. Rosenwald said,
land must be checked Immediately
before they build into general dis
respect for traffic and safety laws
The laws are written to save life,
limb and property. And if kept by
the driver and enforced by officials
our accident toll will lessen"
The safety head said that it might
not appear to be necessary to stop
before some stop" signs In SparSely
populated districts where traffic is
light, but the records show that count
less collisions and deaths have been
the result of going through signs on
the assumption that no obstacle will
be encountered. During the months of
ice and snow, to fail to stop at even
the most remote "stop" signs may
bring another automobile skidding
into you, he said.
Highway patrolmen in Minnesota
have been instructed to keep a sharp
eye on arterial highway crossings and
to go into action if they see "stop''
sign being ignored" Mr.. Rosenwald
warned. Local officials have been
asked to do likewise

there were vocal selections, tap dane
ing and readings. Every act de-
served the splendid applause it re-
ceived The climax was mock we'd
ding hilariously staged by group

Rites Held For
|Rutledge Woman
Mrs. Nels Benson Leaves
Husband to Mourn Her
Death at Age of AZ.

The death of Mrs. Nels J. Benson,
who had resided in the Rutledge COM
munity but three years, saddened the
entire community. Mrs. Benson
passed away suddenly Thursday, Oc-
tober %, at the University hospital
in Minneapolis after but a weeks
illness. Funeral rites were held at
Eleva, Wis, her girlhood home, on
Tuesday of last week and burial was
made there. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. A. Wichman,
Eleva pastor, and the former pastor,
Rev. Olof Rogney of Duluth. PAIL
bearers were Kenneth Gay and A.
Breckheimer of Sturgeon Lake, Max
Greenbaum of Rutledge, A. Solem
of Duluth, Ed Sager and E. L. Hoken-
son of Willow River. The deceased
is survived by her husband. three
brothers and five sisters. She had no
children of her own but had accepted
the adoption of Rubian and Harold
Ingebretson from the Bethesda home
at Willmar.
Mrs. Benson, while a, resident of
the Rutledge community but three
years, had endeared herself to the
neighborhood as good housewife,
a kind and friendly neighbor and a
Christian woman. She and her hus-
band had come to the community
in January, 1885, from Duluth where
they had resided 16 years, and pur-
chased the Joseph Jaglowski farm
of 800 acres. They had worked side
by side in its operation since that
time and her loss is a severe one to
the husband.
She was united in marriage to Nels
j. Benson at Eleva, Wis, on June 81,
1923 and together they took up house
keeping in Duluth. She was life
long member of the Lutheran church
and was active in that church. Mr..
Benson is a former service man,
being member of the Askov post
of the American Legion.
Her many friends and friends of
the family displayed their esteem in
beautiful floral offerings at the fun
eral and eight memorial contributions
were given to the Missions. Her loss
is severe to her home and to her
community, but survivors are happy
in the thought that her work was
well done and her memory will re-
main an example throughout many
years to come.

Snowplows May
For Town Roads
County Auditor Will AS
certain How Much Money
Each Township Has.

Six townships were represented al
the special meeting held by the Pine
county board of commissioners Tues
day afternoon in the court house in
Pine City and these gave definite
figures as to the amount of money
made available for snowplowing OF
their roads. With this start toward
a solution of the knotty problem
which has held the attention of the
people, especially in northern Pine
county for the past two years, the
board passed a resolution to author
ize County Auditor Joseph E. Their
rien to ascertain the exact amount
each township within the county will
have to expend for snow removal
during the coming winter.
1t is expected that better service
can be had for township roads since
several contractors have offered the
rental of equipment to be placed I'M
der township direction. This should
augment the county equipment to the
extent that a greater portion of the
roads can be continuously kept open.
Of course each township wanting its
roads plowed will have to raise its
own money and then deal directly
with the owner of equipment.
The board also passed resolution
to ask the state and federal govern
ments to provide funds to pillow snow
on township roads.
The six townships present at the
meeting and the amounts they pledged
were Birch Creek 5000, Partridge
$500, Brook Park 5000, Ogema $1O0,
Hinckley $500 and Sandstone, who
said there was no limit set as to the
amout it could spend.

strOm Had Resided on
Farm 43 Years.

Askov community were tragically
brought to mind during the past
few days when one of the community S
real pioneers passed to her reward
after a long and useful life of more
than 81 years. Mrs. Anna Sofia Deg
erstrom was a loved and respected
woman throughout her long lifetime
which she spent in useful endeaVor
in church activities and in her eff
ficient manner of rearing a good
family and building a good farm
home Her death, caused by old age
and a stroke, even though coming at
the late sunset of life, was a severe
shock to her family and neighbors
Mrs. Degerstrom was born April
25, 1855, in Stugunbyn, Sweden, and
was married to Peter Olaf Deger-
Strom in her native country on June
"a, 1872 Together they came to the

Carl and Fred, passed away in
1894 and 1880 respectively; the for

ley fire and the latter meeting death

recently. A sister, living in Mime
apolis, could not come because of ill
ness. She is also survived by Is

Tractors With Lugs
Are Hard On Roads

The use of tractors with Jugs on
hard surfaced highways costs the
Minnesota highway department, and
consequently the taxpayers, thousands
of dollars year in maintenance and
repair costs, according to N. w. Els
berg, state highway commissioner.
MIR. Elsberg said the highway pa
troll is not large enough to keep the
roads completely free of such traf-
fic. He issued an appeal to the civic
mindedness of those possessing trac-
tors with Tugs to keep them off the
hard surfaced roads, and thus permit
the highway to spend money, other
wise lost, toward making the state
highway system one of the best in
the Union
