ElbOW Lake Pair
Feted By Friends
Fiftieth Wedding Annirer-
sary DrdsUs Many Friends
and NeighbOrs to Home.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Lawrence
of the Elbow Lake community, cele-
brated their golden wedding at their
home Friday, Sept. 8. They were
married in Chicago where they made
their home for about six years, then
moved to ManitoWoc, Wis, for a
year, then to Primrose for a year
then being young and wanting a
home they came tooPine county and
bought a farm near Elbow lake
where they built themselves a log
house which was one of the last
log houses in the community. Its
place is now taken by nice frame
house and from brush and stump
farm Mr.. Lawrence has many acres
improved.
The LaWrenceS came to the COM
munity when there were only trails
and tote roads west of Sandstone, but
now, 40 years later, roads, fields
fences, etc. serve the community.
Few Relatives.
Refreshments, cigars and a very
nice lunch was served
Of large family Mr.. Lawrence is
the only one left except two nephews
in Chicago and relatives at Willow
River and near Crookston.
Mrs. Lawrence and her twin sister
Tena, of Erskine, are also the last OF
a large family except John and Paul
who have not been heard from for
many years. Mrs. Lawrence, as does
her husband, has relatives by mar
riage at Willow River and hear Crook
Ston.
The Lawrence home was not
blessed with children so about 80
years ago they adopted a little girl
who as years went by grew into
womanhood and married Kurt Holz-
nagel of ST. Paul, where they now re-
side. Mr. Lawrence is one of those
Danes who is always happy and Mrs.
Lawrence is a maid of Norway, al
ways happy and smiling. Mrs. Law
renee has been an active member of
the Ladies' Aid and both her and Mr..
Lawrence have been active members
of the church for many years.
The first years in Pine county were
not so pleasant as now. Mr.. Law
renee farmed some but for years was
employed by the Northern Pacific
Railway Company. Though Mr..
Lawrence is IA years of age, he is
happy and spry and his feet often
get away from him in a jig when the
music starts. Mrs. Lawrence, who is
rs years of age, is very active, con-
sidering her illness of a few years
ago. She is very much a home wom-
an; they are both fond of company
and one is always welcome at their
table.
Their many friends wish Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence many more years of
happiness and good fortune.

Chilly Day Did Not Daunt
the Spirit of Hundreds
Who Attended.

The 10Th Kerrick Community fair
has come and gone and its presence
in the world of activity and enter
tainment has meant for more happi-
ness and good will in the commun-
tiles represented. Jas. H. Hogan, the
moving force in the origination and
carrying on of the fair each year,
explains fully its purpose and its ac-
complishments:
''The 10Th annual Community Fair
has been bigger and better and again
a great success. Its success is not to
be measured in financial gain, for in
this regard there may be often little
degree in which the fair has sue
ceeded by the good will it has created,
by the enjoyment furnished to its
patrons and by the general spirit of
good fellowship and cooperation that
exists in the entire community as a
result. In this, the fair has been
highly successful. Members of the
community have given themselves
generously this year more than any
other, it seems, to make the fair
what it is.
''The day of the fair, though not
the most favorable, did not daunt
the ardor of our fair going people,
Hundreds from all around turned out
to join in the airplane peanut scram-
BILE, to follow the German band in
its march and snake dance about the
grounds, to cheer the past masters
of the game of baseball in their en-
deavor to upset the youthful students
of the game from our neighboring
city of ASkov. There was fun for
all and from the looks on the faces
of young and old, we judge the day
to have been an enjoyable one for
them and therefore a successful one
for u.s."
The Prizes.
Following is the list of prizes and
donors to the Fair for and to whom
the sponsors express appreciation:
Six complimentary tickets given by
the Lake Theatre, Moose Lake.

, Immediately following the parade a
noon hour was enjoyed at which the
various eating places on the wide and
newly tarred main street and in the

ness.
After the noon hour the band
played again to precede an address by

American Legion, who discussed Le-
gion work and pleaded for Amer
ican-ism first, last and all the time.
The speakers voice was carried to
his audience by public address sys-
tenn which was also used by the mas
ter of ceremonies throughout the day
and evening.
A Large Bowery Floor.
During the afternoon foot races and
other sports for which cash prizes
were given, entertained those who
like that sort of activity and the large
bowery floor constructed across Main
Street accommodated old time dane
ing. In the evening the Mello-Blue
orchestra from Pine City and Rush
City furnished music for the bowery
dance.

New Plymouth
Safety Service

Car owners should have regular
safety check-ups to maintain the
high degree Of safety built into
their cars at the factory, accord
ing to H R. Moag, local Dodge and
Plymouth dealer.
For example, very few people
would associate efficient engine
performance with safety ON the
highway, but think what a differ
ence it makes if you are in a tight
place, and need just that extra hit
of power that comes with a perfect
Ny conditioned engine.
The Importance of good brakes,
well-adjusted steering and properly
focused headlights, cannot be over
emphasized. People can drive with
confidence if these features are
checked regularly to insure proper
driving conditions.
During the following month,
while owners are conditioning their
cars for pleasant, safe summer
driving, we are offering free safety
checkups. This service will DO
much to further the increased driv-
ing safety which has recently re-
ceived so much attention in this
community"

LIGHTED CIGARETTE-$7. 900
GONE

A short time ago, careless
Oregon motorist tossed a lighted
cigarette from his car. An area
of 5000 acres. covered with good
young timber, was burned. At
the present average lumber price
that means that 10000 in payrolI8
and supplies was lost to the state.
And. according to conservation
authority, "it would really amount
to a loss of Well over a million dol
lars in the future resources of the
state" Many decades are required
before burned tree is replaced
and devastated land becomes
valuable again. Preventing fire is
said to be rs per cent of reforesta-
ton. And more than so per cent of
all forest fires are man-made. In
every lumber state, you see thous-
ands of ghostly acres, covered with
only the blackened stumps of once
great trees-grim monuments to
ignorance and carelessnesS.
Every individual owes his fellow
citizens an obligation when he goes
into the woods, or drives through
timbered country. That obligation
is easily discharged-but failure to
do so may result in the loss of mil
lions of dollars, and the ruin of ir-
replaceable natural beauties. Tale
the utmost care with smoking
making materials-and don't throw
matches and butts, even though you
think they're out, from your car.
Watch campfires like a hawk, and
when you leave, saturate them with
water. then bury with dirt Obey
the law-especially the local rul-
ings that are put into effect dur
ing the seasons in areas where
hazards are especially great
Remember that forests are our
heritage, and that it is up to us
wheather we dissipate or conserve
that magnificent legacy.
