Final Rites Are
Held For Farmer
Finlayson Man Had Re-
sided in Minnesota 65
Years; Was Born in Iowa.

Funeral services were held for
Fred John Entner Saturday from the
Peace Lutheran church at Finlay-
son. Services were conducted from

church at 2 o'clock. Rev. H. Spor-
leder officiated and John Petry,
Henry Petry, Jr., Hollis Laid, Carl
Zillman, Henry Frohreich and Henry
Darsow were pallbearers.
Mr.. Entner passed away on March
80, after a 13-month illness. He
would have been 70 years of age had
he lived until April II. He was
born at st. Sebald, Iowa, April IT,,
1868, and came to Minnesota IS years
ago and to the Rhine Lake community
in 1910. He was a member of the
Pine Lake township board and also
of the Finlayson Farmers Coopera-
tive Creamery board several years
ago, but has been in failing health
for the past five years.

to Anna Parlow Aug. 26, 1898, at
Moundville and his widow and 13
children survive him. The children
are Mrs. Otto Petry of Finlayson,
Herman, Mrs. Chester Brooks, Will
liam and Mrs. William Smith of Min
neapolis, Arthur of Winthrop, Elsie

that the pope knew nothing about the
attitude of the Austrian bishops, and
that he strongly disapproved of their
declaration when he did hear about
it. But on the heels of that state
ment came another: His Holiness did
not know about the speech broad
cast from his own station, and he
certainly had not authorized it!
The obvious inference was that the
pope-despite his differences with the
German government-was in favor
of the German-Austrian union, and
that was made, seemingly, still more
plain when it was announced that
he would, in all likelihood, receive
Hitler when he comes to Rome next
month.
Equally surprising was the news
that the Lutheran clergy in Germany,
very much at odds with Hitler, is
sued statement to the effect that
the German-Austrian merger must
be approved.
Getting Ready for War.
Although parts of the world are
filled with turmoil and strife, there
is at this moment no well-informed
person who thinks that major war
will take place in the near future.
But, surely, the great nations are
getting ready for a clash-some-
time! One recent evidence of that
is the fact that the United States
government few days ago notified
that of Great Britain and France
that it was ready to consider itself
released from that obligation of the
1896 London naval treaty which pro-
hibits the building of battleships larg-
er than $4,000 tons. London and
Paris were instantly agreed, that is,
they also considered themselves no

APRIL

APRIL
April is lady who doesn't know
her mind,
A cool month, cruel month, warm
month and kind
April carries irises and wears a pur-
pie gown,
April weeps in willow-green, her yell
low hair let down.
Then she scatterS crocus with utter
lack of poise,
And snatches up the treasured kites
of freckled little boys.
April is lovely month, of tempera-
ment and woe;
It's just as hard to live with her, as
to see her go!

Belle Isle Not Part Of Canada

DCAAC AoAO 9NVs = 90 Va SoA0u0
Belle Isle has never been leased
from Canada. It has never been
considered part Of Canada and the
only time Canada may be said to
have had a claim was after the War
Of the Revolution and before the
boundary line between the two
countries had been definitely settled
by treaty, asserts a writer in the
Detroit News. It was conveyed to
Lieut.. George McDougan in 1765
by the Indians for a few barrels of
rum, some tobacco, vermilion and
wampum. From McDougan the
title passed to William Macomb,
then to Barnabas Campau and to
his children, who sold it to the
city Of Detroit in 1879 for 5000, 600.
Belle Isle was originally Mah-nah-
be-zee or Swan island; the French
settlers renamed it Isle st. Clair.
When hogs were brought to the is
land to destroy the snakes there, it
became known as lie aux Cochons
or Hog island; this name was in
formally changed to Belle Isle on
July 4, l845. by resorters who had
made it a popular picnic ground,
honoring Isabelle Cass, daughter of
Governor Lewis Cass.

British History Cleaned
From Public House Signs


Much of Britain's history, and
more of its manners and feelings
can be cleaned from various public
house signs, seen in villages and
towns, says Pearson's London
Weekly.
Many of these were selected out
of compliments of the reigning king,
or lord of the manor. The Blue
Boar was the badge of Richard III;
the Bulls Head of Henry VIII, and
the White Hart of Richard II.
The Fox and Hounds and Hare
and Hounds were named in compli-
ment to a sporting squire, and the
Green Man probably originated
when the squire's gamekeeper mar
ried, and was promoted to the viii
lage public.
1t is thought that the Saracen's
Head was thus named by a Cru
Sader after his return from the Holy
wars. The Chequers is said to refer
to the Stuart kings, whose shield
was Cheeky" The Spread Eagle
being the arms of Germany, indi-
Gated in past days that German
wines were sold in that inn, and
the Castle, being the arms Of Spain,
signified that Spanish wines were
sold.

Stools Were First Seats

Among the first forms Of seats
made in America were stools, for
the Puritans did not have room to
bring over any furniture except
chests and these served for storage
purposes, seats and sometimes
beds. The first trained woodwork
er listed among the Pilgrim colo
nists was John Alden of speak for
yourself, John" fame. It is not
recorded that he acquired any fame
as cabinetmaker but he no doubt
did make many of the stools, forms
and benches required for use in the
sparsely furnished homes of that
day. Furniture makers were not
long in coming to America. As the
colonies prospered and trade with
England and the continent in
creased, fine furniture was not only
imported but much that was beauti-
full in design and workmanship was
made here.

Tubers, Bulbs, Corms,
Referred to as Bulbs

There is a difference between
tubers, bulbs and corns, all of which
for lack of more exact knowledge,
notes a writer in the New York
Herald Tribune. A tuber is a feShy
underground stem and the common
potato is a typical example. Here
we have a modified stem which
clearly shows bark, wood and pith,
and it also has a terminal end usu-
ally referred to as seed end, where
as the other buds are "eyes."
Bulbs also are underground
stems, but of different character.
The common onion is a bulb with
a cone-shaped center stem sur
rounded by mass Of fleshy over
tapping leaves which either lie close
together or may be quite loosely
attached as in many kinds Of lilies.
Bulbs always show this scale
structure. Germs differ from bulbs
in having no scales. They are in
this respect more like tubers and
like these are also underground
stems transformed into storage or

Fish on Friday Dates
Back 3 DAYS of Christ

Fish became associated with Fri
day in a roundabout way. Friday
corresponds to the day Of the
week on which Jesus was cruci6ed
and many early Christians observed
it as a weekly fast day, that is,
day on which they abstained from
eating flesh meats, says writer in
the Indianapolis News. Pope Nicho-
las (858-86D declared that abstin-
ence on Friday was obligatory on
all commandments Of the Roman
church. Fish is the principal nom
flesh meat and accordingly it be-
came the favorite food for those
days when flesh meats were forbid
den. Later others followed the prac-
tice of serving fish almost exclu-
sively on Friday. This is partly out
of respect for religious custom; but
fish dealers report that many
housewives buy fish to be served on
Friday because they feel that they
can obtain fish of better quality
at that time of the week because Of
the prevailing custom.
The fish was one of the earliest
symbols of the Savior Of Christian
ity in general. There were several
reasons for this. Fish and fishing
played an important part in the
daily lives of Jesus and his dis
ciples. Peter and several Of the
other disciples were fishermen by
trade, and Jesus told them that il
they would follow him he would
make them fishers of men," The
miraculous multiplication of the
loaves and fishes, as well as the
repast after the resurrection on the
shores of Galilee, when some Of the
disciples ate fish caught by follow
ing the instructions of the Lord will
be recalled.
The fish as an emblem Of Chris
tianity was further popularized by
the coincidence that the Greek word
for fish, which we render 'ichthys;"
is spelled in Greek with five letters,
corresponding to I-CH-TH-U-S,
which form what is known as an
acrostic; that is, the component let
tiers of the word for fish are the
initial letters of Iesous CHristos,
THeou Uios, Softer, meaning Jesus
Christ, Son of God, Savior.

Name Bartholomew Means
A Son of the Furrows'

The name Bartholomew in its va
rious spellings is Of Hebrew orig
in and has the picturesque mean
ing "son of the burrows" writes
Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, thus fitting farmer
or plowman. But many Of its bear
ers have plowed the waves rather
than the fields. Less popular now
than in the past when its bearers
did great deeds, it is frequently
heard as a surname.

one who is called Nathaniel.

Corrigan May Receive
 "Gentle Dis cipline" /"
Had No Permission From Air Board-Our Air Official Says It's Great Day in History of Irish People;
 That May End It

Washington, July Is - (UP) - Amazed officials of the Air Con- merce bureau said today that Doug las F. Corrigan, who flew the Atlan- tic without radio, navigation instru- ments or permission, may be put under gentle discipline" when he returns to the United States.
 Denis Mulligan, director of the Air Commerce bureau, startled by Cor rigan's feat in spanning the Atlan- tic in dilapidated plane, indicated however, that the bureaus punish ment won't be too stringent.
 "It's a great day in the history of the Irish people and we don't want to spoil their fun right now by talk ing about punishments," Mulligan said.
 Our pat answer for the present is that we are taking the case under advisement"
 Air Commerce bureau officials said Corrigan made no application for bureau sanction of the flight.
 There is no previous case on rec ord, they said, in which an American airman embarked on such flight without applying for authorization of the Air Commerce bureau or without notifying bureau officials.
 Corrigan, the bureau said, pos sesses regular pilots license and an experimental license, permitting (Continued on Page 4)

 Jerusalem, July 18-(UP)-Amer- ican Jews repulsed a band of 100 Arabs who attacked an American Jewish settlement near Samaria, dispatches said today The Arabs retreated leaving six dead, 1t was said. This attack took place yes- terday.' It followed an attack by brigands on an American Jewish settlement south of Haifa, in which likewise the brigands had been beaten, off. Terrorist attacks con- tinued unabated at points all over Palestine despite the reinforcement of British troops by units from Egypt. It was reported that large band of Arabs was being mobilized outside Jerusalem to attack isolated Jewish villages in the Judaean Hills. A mysterious Arab leader from Sy- ria was reported to have arrived in the north ready to lead a ter rorist campaign in Galilee.
 From Tel-Aviv came news that police had .raided what they be- lieved to be one of the largest and most important communist centers in the near east. Police refused to make public the names of persons
