Only matter of time, though

Even the wind was false to

You know what I'm beginning

Judge Lanuis should start in

Enough of that. 1t really

the thing was bungled in the

If the gentlemen who run the
game don't stop behaving much
of the time as though some

That will be bad for all, in

The Old Sa,U Mill
Settlers To Meet

A committee composed of former
schoolmates of the old sawmill days
in Willow River is sponsoring a
get-together and old time dance at the
Willow River Community hall on
June 4.
The object of the dance is to get
all the old timers that resided in
Willow River during the sawmill
days together SO they can dance the
old dances as they used to do at the
old company hall and renew old
acquaintance of the lumberjack
days. There, of course, will be a
few modern dances for the younger
generation who did not have the
good fortune to be born in those
halcyon days, but the shag, the big
apple, ETC., will be barred.
If the reunion of old timers proves
to be the success it is expected to be,
then plans will be made to stage it
annually.

Beaver
Advises Forest
RangerB.C.Ahlnl
Animals Work is Valuable
Aid to Conservation of
Timber and Fish Life.

B. c. Ahlm and H. w. Schmidt of
Nickerson were in the Askov Amer
lean office one day the past week
with two samples of speckled trout
beauties, one weighing two pounds.
These were caught at the site of one
of the beaver dams on a creek near
Nickerson and both men were loud
in their praise of the beaver in regards
to conservation and trout streams.
Mr. Ahlm, who is district fire
ranger, stressed the fact that the
beaver is one of the most misunder-
stood of animals. He said that the
fact that he dams the streams thus
conserving the water supply in pools
in various sections of the timbered
country, makes him an invaluable aid
in fire fighting. Such pools furnish
much needed ammunition to fight the
wooded sections worst enemy-fire.
Besides that, said Mr.. Ahlm, the
beaver by his habits, likewise fur
nishes large pools of cool water which
make excellent habitat for the trout,
one of natures finest gifts, both in
eating qualities and sport. That water
supply also stores water in an other
wise dry section which in turn forms
a source of supply for summer rains.
The warden advises that true con-
servationists should protect the beaver
as much as possible and not condemn
him for what he does.

no exception to the general rule.
Approximately Is from Askov are
expected to attend and it., is likely
that about the same number will be
there from the other communities

teams now organized. Representa-
tiveS of all of these are expected to

Young Fnlayson
Butcher Called.
William Dahlin Leaves A
Wife and Four Children
to Mourn Him.

Last rites were held on Sunday aft
ernoon, May Is, for William Dahlin
of Finlayson, who passed away at the
ST. Mary's hospital in Duluth on
May IL, after an illness of three
weeks with liver trouble. Medical
skill did its utmost during that period
with assistance of several blood trans
fusions but failed to save his life.
William Dahlin was born August
10, 1902 at Cambridge, and was united
to Miss Edythe Johnson of Cook on
March Is, 1926. To this union were
born four children, two sons, Rodney
and William, and two daughters,
Geraldine and Betty Jane.
The family moved to the Finlay-
son community in July, 1885, where
he operated a butcher shop in the
village. Mr. Dahlin was man of
excellent character and was kind
and loving father and husband. He
was held in high esteem by the COM
munity in general. He is survived
by his wife, four children and one
brother, Walter, of Finlayson; two
sisters, Mrs George Larson and Mrs.
Adolph Soderman of Grandy, and his
mother, Mrs. Christine Hanson of
Grandy, together with many other
relatives.
The funeral was held Sunday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock from the high
school auditorium in Finlayson with
Rev. Andrew A. Doe of Duluth,
preaching the funeral sermon. The
honorary pa1lbearers were the blood
donors, Waldemar Holznagel, Hugo
Matson, Dale Ryan, Sylvester Petry,
Harvey Miller, and Ernie Anderson.
The active pallbearers were Dave For
tier, Albert Belling, v. E. Shafer, Ben
Danielson, Ed Kangas and Jorgen
Hansen.
Burial was made at Cambridge in
the family plot following funeral
services held from the Baptist church
at p. m. Monday, Revs. Mosberg
and Moeberg of Cambridge, officiat-
ing. Pallbearers at that service were
all Cambridge men, Ben Stoneberg,
Oliver Lindstrom, Ray Peterson, Ru-
ben Seine, Clarence Olson and Roy
Peterson.
At the Finlayson service the ST..
Johns Lutheran church choir sang,
"Some Day the Silver Chord Will
Break" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul"
At both the Cambridge and Finlay-
son services Ethel Elsola sang, "Safe
in the Arms of Jesus"
God called him, it was His will,
But in our hearts we love him still.
His memory is as dear today,
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
The community and friends far
and near unite in sadness at the pass
ing of the popular young man and
extend deep sympathy to the be-
reaved family and relatives.
