Star of FiIn1-Stdge
Succl1nubS at so

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 3 Q.N.SO.
Private funeral services were to
be held this afternoon for Con-
way Tearle, 60, former silent era
movie star, who died in a hos
pital after long suffering from a
heart ailment.
Mr.. Tearle, whose career started
at IA, was a popular player on
the American and English stage
before he entered the movies in
1914.
The actor went into an eclipse
when the talkies came and he re-
turned to the stage. His Broad
way hit in Dinner at Eight
caused a new demand for his
services at the studios.
He is survived by his widow,
Adele Rowland, former musical
comedy star. Mr.. Tearle was mar
ried twice previously, his first
wife being the late Josephine Park
and his second Mrs. Menges Cor
Winhill.

today from high sources. The
recommendation for the Dodge ap-

the local minimum wage law.
Mr.. Dodge came to Washington

CREDIT POLICY
Association Formulates Plan to
Benefit Patrons Through
Strict Credit Rules.

At the last meeting of the Ely Co.
Operative Association the membership
considered seriously the problem OF
credit sales and the imperative need oil
keeping credit accounts within safe
limits
1t was felt that uncontrolled credit is
real danger and causes trouble sooner
or later. For this reason the member
ship adopted the following credit regu-
,, lationS:
/. To customers having two pay days
month credit will be given to the
extent of one-half of their average
monthly purchases but not to exceed
$1,000. All bills to be paid twice a
month.
2. To customers having one pay day
month, credit will be given to the
extent of their average monthly pur-
chaSeS but not to exceed 5000 or the
amount invested in the Associations
share capital, whichever is larger. All
bills to be paid at least once a month
8. LoggerS, boarding houses and
other large buyers may make special
arrangements with the Board Of Di-
rectors for their requirements.
4. Further credit is withheld from
any customer not complying with these
regulations.
AS a great majority of the patrons
pay their bills regularly, the above le-
StrictionS will cause no change in their
case. Others whose accounts are now
in arrears, should see the manager at
once. With the cooperation of the
patrons, satisfactory arrangements can
be made in most cases and the extern
sion of credit continued without in
terruption.
The customers cordial cooperation
with the management and the directors
is asked in order that these regulations
may be kept effective. In asking this
the management stated, "LeG lis to-
gether help to eliminate credit losses
and enjoy the savings made in the
form of lower prices for the goods we
buy"
The auditors report presented showed
the association to be financially in a
sound and helathy condition, expanding
in a satisfactory manner. According
to the report and the statement made
by Frank Saari, local manager, sales
have increased $13,350 during the six

LICENSE BOOST
FROM Soc TO 81
Conservation Head Proposes
Doubling Cost of Fishing
License in State.

Herman Wenzel, state conservation
commissioner, Monday outlined legis-
lative program embracing an increase
in fishing licenses from so cents to 81.
Addressing the midwinter conference
of the Minnesota Game Protective
league, WenZel said his department has
tentatively decided to ask the increase
together with creation of a special
"man-and-wife" license at $50.
Another point outlined by the COM
missioner included a request for the
department to have authority to open
and close hunting and fishing seasons.
This control is now vested exclusively
in the legislature.
Other recommendations of Wenzel
which he said will be presented to the
legislature will include that:
The season on rabbits be regulated
with open and closed periods with Ii
censes required for shooting.
Reduction of the 81 nonresident
fishing license to SO per person and $3.50
for man and wife.
The division of game and fish be
authorized to regulate wild rice har-
veSting
The division of forestry be authorized
to operate several large nurseries to
reforest 100000 acres of tax-delinquent
land.

A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Three thousand Catholics
from all parts of the state as
sembled at the st. Paul Audi
forum and listened to Arch
bishop Murray and Joseph
Matt, editor of Der Wanderer,
denounce Hitler and his Nazis
in Germany. In no uncertain
terms, the assemblage decided
that Hitler was a "slave deified
dictator" While they were at
it, the assemblage could also
have discussed some home
political events and would
probably have arrived at the
conclusion that dictatorship is
not confined alone to Germany,
Russia or Italy, but is getting
there fast in this country.

Rare Antique Watch
in Elyites Possession
L. SLENDER Traces Origin
of Ancient Timepiece
to Year 1896.
OWNED BY ROYALTY
Miss Bertha Lobe Owner of
One of Earliest Hand
Made Watches.

A rare old watch, which dates its
origin back to Vienna in 1896, and
probably licked away many anxious
moments for the HapSburg royalty pre-
vious to the fall of the dynasty, was
uncovered recently by L. G. Stember
local jeweler.
The ancient timepiece, brought to
Mr.. SLENDER for repairs, was imme-
diately recognized by him as an an
tique and upon examination found it
to be of the verge and chain drive
variety from the earliest dates of hand
made pocket watches.
To make sure of its origin, with the
owners permission, the watch was sent
to The Jewellers Circular keystone
publishers of a trade journal, who
maintain bureau for tracing the his
tory of old masterpieces of this kind
The following is a statement from the
bureau:
This watch is undoubtedly one made
by Joseph Litzen Of Vienna, Austria
one Of the leading makers of that city
who was given recognition as master
in the year 1889.
The workmanship of the movement is
superb; it is an exceptionally fine ex-
ample of the best work of it's time. Be-
sides this, for a verge watch, is ex-
ceptiOnally small; intended, of course,
1or use by lady, and unusually small
among the finest ladies' watches of it's
period. Generally, even the smaller
watches with verge eScapement were
considerably thicker in proportion to
their diameter, due to the position in
which the escape wheel had to be set;
which makes of the quite thin verge
watch remarkable example of design
ing in that type. Although the watch
is not very old, as age is considered in
antique watches, the other features we
have mentioned, make of it a rare and
valuable specimen. The hall marks
show the date year 1895. This watch
would be worthy of a place in fine
collection or museum"
No appraisal was made of the watch
by this bureau, but is was noticed
that the package returned by express
was highly insured.
The watch is in possession of Miss
Bertha Lobe of this city, given to her
by her guardian, Mrs. Marie Skube, who
was goVerness in a family of the Haps-
burg royalty in Vienna before the
World War. The heirloom was presen-
ted to the governess, as a parting gift,
at the fall of the dynasty.

and Sunday as members of the Ely

The Ely riders handicapped by prac-

favorable showing and drew comments
from the competing skiiers and former
skiiers at the meet. To clear the knoll
on the Bush Lake hill the jumpers
had to make over 80 feet, more than
the longest jump made on the Ely slide
The longest jump of the day was
made by Burger Ruud of Norway, with
1874 feet to his credit. There were over
a hundred riders at the tournament
from all parts of the country and for
eign lands
Even in this class the Ely riders
showed up remarkably well. The boys
are figuring on doing their practice on

show something at the "big hill'' rides
