PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.

All but three of our ITO rural
teachers attended the teachers in
stitute in Sandstone last Thursday
and Friday. Zone is reported with
mumps). Two of the three Duluth
college cadet (training) teachers and
the entire membership of the Hinck-
ley Teacher Training department
were also present. We appreciate
the splendid accommodations and
hospitality extended to us by the
Sandstone school and community.
The outside speakers and instruc-
tors at the institute were Miss Fern
Kennedy, State Department of Edu-
cation; H. E. White, State Department
of Education; Walter Englund, Min
nesota Education Association; Miss
Graybriel, Duluth Teachers college;
and Miss Marion Krogdahl, Pine
county nurse.
The Sandstone school pupils (grades
and high schooD furnished the teach
ers with some excellent two-part and
three-part vocal numbers. The six
rural pupils from Miss Sarah Warmers
Sand Creek school, district 122, dem
onstrated harmonica band work in
two and three-part selections.
Three rural schools were checked
by your superintendent and Miss
Kennedy Wednesday of last week and
favorably listed for accrediting. These
were district Is, east of Rock Creek,
and districts "a and 81, west of Stur-
geon Lake. One or two others may
be checked in the spring. Several
prospective schools will not be able
to qualify this year because enroll
ments are under 10 or school term
is only eight months. AS accredited
rural school places that school On the
same level as a graded school. 1t
also draws additional classification
aid. Our total number of accredited
rural schools will be more than 25
this year. Four years ago Pine county
had only five such schools.
We also visited two of our model
one-teacher schools last Wednesday,
Rock Creek district 4, Miss Agnes
Myrdahl, teacher; and Milburn dis
trict 33, Miss Alva Fogt, teacher.
These two schools have been accred-
tied for three years and the Rock
Creek school is now Duluth Teach
erS' college cadet training department.
Miss Edith Korsch of Brook Park, took
her three months of cadet training
or practice teaching at Rock Creek
this fall and is now teachers COL
lege graduate and is qualified to teach.
Miss Westberg of Cambridge, is talk
ing her training there now.
The Duluth college is also using
Beroun and Rutledge schools to
train teachers. Joseph Kub of Be-
roun, is taking his practice teaching
now at Bero; n. Miss Helen Bennett
is the regular teacher in charge. Miss
Belling of Finlayson, is now taking
her three months of practice at Rut-
ledge. The regular teachers are
Lenore Rupp and Audry 1. Glimm.

the rapid growth in the number of

crease their ornaments, which can
only mean one thing-that they are
anticipating the day when they will
again unsheath the sword.
What folly the human race is cap
able of. Here we have been having
wars for thousands of years and there
are no indications that we have
learned they are futile and profitless,
while the misery and suffering that
follow in their wake is beyond de-
scription. At least let us resolve to
keep out of future European wars.
We have enough problems at home
to engage our full attention.
Exceeds Estimates.
An estimated farm income for 1888
is $500, 100000 but late figures in
dictate that these figures will be ex-
ceeded by 125 million dollars. The
report calls attention to the fact that
the high spots for December are the
materially higher net farm incomes
forecast for 1889.
Agriculture has long way to go
before its income will even approx
innate cost of production. Personally
1 do not look to see balance until
the American market has been re-
stored to the American farmer 1t
is all very well to talk about selling
our SURPRISES to other countries,
where the world market price pre-
walls, but it has been my observation
that such sales are always made at
a big sacrifice, either to the producer
or to the government. With poten-
tial market at home for at least 80

Germany or Italy, they would have
been stood up against wall and shot.
Over in Europe there are millions
of good, thrifty and honest people
who would come here and be loyal
citizens if permitted to do so. Why
not work out plan to trade the
two groups so that those who want
to come here may do so while those
who are dissatisfied can be sent to
the country whose government they
approve Of? Such plan might en-
volve the expenditure of twenty-five
or fifty million dollars but if it could
be put in operation it would be money
well spent We do not want to hold
anyone here who disapproves of our
government and institutions.
Of course such an arrangement
would have to be entirely agreeable
to those who were to be expatriated
because after all, this is free coun-
try.

order, returned to the office.
Captain Leonard, in retracine
the actions of Trudie yesterday
learned Irudie and her sister
Billie, 10, started yesterday morn
ing for the registration office at
the college where both were stu
dents. Madeline Hickman, school
mate and neighbor, drove them as
the brakes on their own car were
frozen. On arriving at school
Trudie and Billie separated.
Later, Trudie called Hughes and
met him on the campus. At !
D. m. the clerk in the Charles
Mckinney Hall at the school gave
Billie the following note from
Trudie:
Il called Esther Cher step
mother and the present Mrs.
Bennett). I have to 6 sport
class, al;o a dinner at the Wom-
ems Athletic Association from 6
to $50. Esther said to go home,
and I'll call you to come after
me wheJ I'm through.
SEEN ON CAMPUS
Captain Leonard said no dinner
was scheduled at the athletic as
sociation.
Meanwhile, Miss Hickman had
seen Trudie and Hughes on the
campus at 3 p. m. At 4 p. m.
Hughes appeared at his home and
obtained an extra supply of cloth
ing. A girl remained in his car
while he went into his home and
emerged a few minutes later to
drive away. He was driving a
1884 black tudor sedan with the
letter "Y" for Ypsilanti College on
the real window. The license num-
ber was a Michigan 1887 plate,
.U-7750.
First news that Trudie was
missing came at 2:10 a. m. today
when Captain Leonard, after
being called to the Bennett estate
two miles from Ypsilanti, bread
cast a description of the missing
TrCd1e over the State and Detroit
police radios and teletypeS.
G-MEN IN HUNT
Because of the prominence Of
Bennett and the fact she may
have been kidnap victim literally
hundreds of police jumped into
action. Police Commissioner Helm
rich A. Pickert, of Detroit, got up
in the middle of the night to di
rect the hunt there, and assigned
special detectives to the case while
ordering all of Detroit's 1000 po
lice to be on the lookout for
Trudie. Captain Leonard directed
the search from the Bennett home,
and J. C. Newman, chief of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
here, assigned all available G-men
in Detroit to the case.

months of never a minute to him.

Then he came out. He went
straight. He met a girl-a girl
who loved him so much she mar.
ried him even after he told her
all about it. His name and hers?
Listen
He met pal in that prison
and told him he was headed for
the straight way Of living. And
the pal, too, came out Of prison
later-years later. Enough years
later so the friend who was going
straight had two swell children.
He came through several States,
the pal did, straight to Washing
ton-Where he knew the friend of
his prison days was working as a
cab driver, happy, free from his
past and straight.
He went to the license bureau
and asked for his pals address.
But there was no name he knew
registered. He said:
Let's have a gander at the pho
tographs."
And ne looked them over care
fully, stopping at one from which
a bright and happy face seemed
almost to greet him. He nodded.
That's the guy"
So they called the cab driver
again before the court yesterday.
Why the false name? Why the
concealment o. his record? He
told Judge Walter Casey:
Listen, judge. 1 got a job
when I came out Of prison. It
was in Virginia-a long ways
from there. But in a month they
found out I had served time. I
was fired. 1t was pretty tough.
But had to go straight, judge.
She married me, and she loved
me. So I came here, and more
to protect her than anything, I
got my license under a different
name. I never thought it would
be a pal who would turn me in"

learned that Trudie and Hughes
had been seen on the campus of
Michigan State Normal College at
Ypsilanti, where both were stu.
dents, as late at $50 p. m. last
night. The last previous report
had placed the couple together
on the campus at 3 p. m. Monday.
Bolstering the elopement theory
also was the fact that Hughes was
known to have had his car filled
with gasoline yesterday, appar-
emily in anticipation Of long
trip.
WIDESPREAD HUNT
However, because of the threats
Bennett received and his promi-
nence, State and city police and
G-men were conducting wide
spread search. If Trudie and
Hughes were actually clipping they
innocently set into motion one of
the greatest police hunts in the
history of Michigan.
Captain Leonard denied a re-
port Mrs. Ivan Routsan, mother
of Hughes, had expressed belief
her son and Miss Bennett had
eloped. Mrs. Routsan, Captain
Leonard said, has made no state
ment other than to authorities.
She was keeping the doors of
her home barred to reporters and
State police were keeping her tele-
phone line open so no calls could
be received in her home.
HUGHES MISSING
Trudie, according to Capt. Don
Leonard, was last seen on the cam
pus Of Michigan State Normal
College at Ypsilanti, where she
was a student. at p. m. Monday
in the eompanay of Hughes, fresh.
man musician aG the school.
Hughes also vas missing" from
his home today. leading to the
police theory Miss Bennett may
have eloped with him.
Neighbors of the Hughes said
they understood Trudie had been
engaged to Hughes for six months.
Police would not comment on the
report.
Today, the search was spread
ing to northern Indiana and
Ohio towns in the possibility that
Trudie and the college-boy
musician may be en- route there
to be married.
Hughes is a trap-drummer in
the college band.
Bennett expressed himself as
very worried. He haG many enc
mics. and he suspected a kidnap-
ing plot either for ransom or for
revenge. No ransom demands have
been made, police said.
IT am very worried" Bennett
said. I know of no reason why
Trudie should go away. If she
had planned on taking a trip
or clipping she would have taken
some clothes. She very easily
could have got clothes from the
house without anyone knowing
it,"
TELLS OF WARNING
Captain Leonard revealed Ben.
nett received several telephone
calls at his office at the Ford
plant yesterday warning him to
guard his home. A mysterious
voice on the phone said:
You'd better be careful Of
your family. Something may
happen to your children"

Gubin, Commissioner Of Labor Sta.
tistics.
To offset his gloomy data, how
ever, Lubin predicted there may
soon be a slight upSwing in en-
ployment If inventories have been
severely cut during recent months.
1T may be possible that the
inventories have been reduced
to q point where the Industries
may be forced to buy. and that
will create some employment,
he said.
SLUMP HISTORY TOLD
The first Of a long line OF wit,
nesses. that will include industrial,
business, labor and Government
officials in the committee at
tempt to discover the basic causes
of business depressions, Lubin said
that UP to october employment
was only slightly below its peak
for the recent recovery period,
IS million.
Some recession. he added, had
been evident in textiles, clothing
and certain other industries in
the later summer and early au-
tumn. 80 that the seasonal level
of employment in October was
not up to expectations"
BY mid-November, however, 1t
was estimated that 100000 per-
sons had lost jobs, excluding agri-
culture, and that 34,245,000 were
employed.
Lubin estimated that by mid
December "it appears another
$4,000 to 100000 jobs had been
lost"
DECLINE SETS RECORD
"This two.month decline in
Industrial employ m n t" he
added, lis sharper than any
which has occurred in this
country in recent years"
The chief reductions in en-
ployment since October have come
In manufacturing, construction,
and on the railroads, Lubin said.
These declines. he added were
only in part offset by the seasonal
increase in employment in retail
stores.
BY November factories had laid
off 100000 workers and in De-
cember, according to preliminary
figures, about another SOS, 900.
Railroads laid off 10000 in No
vember and about as many more
In December. The reduction in
bituminous mines was small and
q bright spot was noted in the
fact that anthracite mines hired
more men.
The Labor Department stats
tician said available jobs have de-
creased since the holidays.
JANUARY NORMALLY LOW
at is likely that some further
reduction in available jobs has
taken place in the past two
weeks" he said. early January
Is normally the seasonal low
point for employment with lay.
offs at stores when Christmas is
over and further reduction in
building and in certain manufac-
turing industries"
Asserting that agricultural work
Is also seaSonally reduced in Janu-
ary, Lub1n summarized his state
ment with the following:
In general, the principal
manufacturing industries which
are providing less employment
than in 1929 are associated with
the building trades-lumber
brick and tile, cement, and other
building materials. Other dur
able goods industries, such as
those making steel, automobiles.
and agricultural implements,
however, were employing more
men in November 1887 than in
November 1929. The food in.
dustries, except meat packing,
also employed as many or more
people than in 1929.
