Settle Argument
With Fist Fight.

New Ulm-Knocked out cold in the
fifth round in fist fight with bare
knuckles, is the story of the settlement
of an argument between two men who
came to New Ulm with friend for that
purpose. A local taxi driver was called
to drive the group to secluded place
on the outskirts of the city and ar
rangementS were made to settle the
alteration in the manner provided by
nature. The friend acted as referee
and the taxi driver was time-keeper.
There were rounds of three minutes,
and then a rest period between of two
minutes. The taxi driver blew his horn
to signal. Biff, bang, and punch to
the jaw. The fight was worth ring
side seat, but there were no spectators
save the referee and the timekeper. One
of the pugs weighed about $40 pounds
and the other $50. The little fellow
had the best of the match from the
first round on, it is claimed. Both hit
the dust number of times, but the big
bruiser could not take it and went
out cold in the fifth round. After the
bare-knuckle smash-bang was over, the
participants wiped the gore from their
faces, piled into the taxi and were
seemingly the best of friends.

became the bride of j. Ward Ozbun,
also of Remer. The ceremony was per-
formed in the Itasca hospital with the
groom in the bed to which he has been
confined for the last two months suf-
fering from severe burns. The couple
planned first to be married in January,
but the event was postponed because
of the accidental burns suffered by the
bridegroom. An effort to have the
marriage on the date first selected, but
in the hospital, was prevented because
of Mr. Osbun's serious condition. Now
that he is recovering from his in
juries, it was decided no more time
should be lost. So with Mr.. and Mrs.
SWentkofske of Remer as attendants
and the Reverend Father Spellman of
Federal Dam reading the ceremony, the
two were wed.

Store at Marine
Is 100 Years Old.

Forest Lake-A grocery store in
Marine has operated for nearly hun
dred years. 1t is now owned by R. E.
Strand, whose father conducted the
business before him. Founded in 1889
in the days of the st. Croix river logging
boom when such items as whalebones
were regular stock, the store is still
doing business Although it has not
always been in the same building and
has not always operated since it was
established in 1888. A daybook of sales
lists a bottle of hair oil that sold for
IS cents and two pair of patent leather
shoes. These items were sold in 1857
along with coffee at 20 cents pound
and raisins at 80 cents a half pound
Fifteen years later the price scale had
shifted considerably, shirts being priced
at four and five dollars and socks at
IS cents a pair.

Gets DriUer License
At so Years of Age.

Grand Rapids-Having issued a
drivers license to man 80 years of age,
inquiries are made here whether or not
this record has been duplicated any
where in the state. John H. Richard
son Of Morse township, west of Deer
River, appeared at the office of John E.
McMahan, clerk Of court to secure a
license, and not until he put down his
age as 80 did the clerk begin question
ing him. Strong and straight, standing
almost six feet tall, Mr.. Richardson
looks more like man of 60 than one
of four score and ten years. He hao
not applied earlier for Minnesota
drivers license because he had not
needed to drive a car This year finds
him without a driver, so he proposes
to do his own chauffering and in G
legal manner to be provided with g
license.

Fox Hounds
Are "FOxed."

Hector-Two fox hounds were
stranded for several days three miles
southeast of here when caught in
drain tile $500 feet into the pipeline,
thus literally "foxed." The hounds be-
long to Shakopee man who had been
hired to exterminate fox in this terri
tory. One afternoon the dogs caught
the scent of fox, trailed it into a drain
tile and apparently crawled $500 feet
into the drainage line. At this point
the 12-inch pipe converges into nine
inch tile, too small for the hounds to
penetrate. While the fox continued, the
dogs were caught. Not until two days
later when blue prints of the thing
system were available to rescue workers
were the dogs found.

BIRTH PAPERS

tied without authentic written proof Of
death. Death records are also used in
the clearing of titles to property, in
inheritance claims, the settlement Of
joint bank accounts, ETC."
while death registration in Mime
sofa has been practically complete over
a long period of years." continued Mrs.
Pierson, yet in some parts of the state,
particularly in certain counties, in
Guiding st. Louis, where there still re-
mains unorganized territory, a few
births which take place without medi-
cal attendance may be unrecorded.
Parents who are not certain that their
children were registered at birth should
investigate promptly"
Mrs Pierson added that the duty of
reporting births within 10 days after
they occur rests upon the attending
physician, when one is employed. The
parents must report within the same
period of time if there is no medical at
tendant.
Speaking of the great amount of adj
ditional work resulting for the Division
of Vital Statistics from the passage of
the Social Security Act with its pro-
visions for financial aid to needy
mothers, assistance to persons over IS
years of age, retirement pensions, and
other financial aid to citizens, Mrs.
PierSon said:
MANY of the older residents of Min
nesota cannot prove their age or citi-
zenship because their births were not
registered. Since 1886 hundreds of
these individuals, whose births were not
recorded and who are now applying for
old-age pensions, have written our Di-
vision requesting that We advise them
of their ages as shown on their child
ren's birth records. The parents ages
as they appear on the record of birth
of the child are accepted as authentic"
Birth and death records in Mime
sofa may be obtained from three
sources: The local registrar at place Of
birth or death-city, village or town.
ship; the clerk of district court at the
county seat; and from the State De-
partment of Health, Division of Vital
Statistics, St. Paul.
Any person wishing to verify the re-
cord of birth may consult the local
registrar of the district in which the
birth occurred, the Clerk of District
Court of the county concerned, or the
State Department of Health in St.
Paul 1t would be remembered that the
State birth records begin with 1900.
Requests for information concerning
records prior to 1900 should be made to
the local registrar at place of birth, or
to the Clerk of Court.
Minnesota has had registration laws
since 1870" explained Mrs. Pierson,
'rbut in the early years these laws were
not rigidly enforced"
1870 is the first year for which the
Clerks of Court in Minnesota have birth
and death certificates. The certificates
in the State Department of Health be-
gin with 1900.
Before an attempt is made to file
a delayed registration of any birth
which occurred after 1900, the in
terested person should apply to the state
department of health for instructions
as to how to proceed.

State BrelUing Industry
To Report to the People.

Through q series of advertisements
this month, the brewing industry of
Minnesota will inform the people of the
important part the industry plays in
the social and economic life of the
state.
The campaign, as outlined, will bring
out the aims and policies of the brew
ing industry in Minnesota. 1t will seek
to correct several misconceptions re-
garding the business and relate in
stances showing how the industry be-
came leading factor in the economic
recovery of Minnesota from the de-
preston of 1929.
| When the depression was at its lowest
ebb in 1888, the passage of the law
jlegalizing the return of beer immediate
| ~ released millions of dollars for the
purchase of machinery and equipment,
for enlargement of plants, for trans
portation, for wages-more than three
and a half million dollars annually.
In the matter of unemployment of
Minnesota men and women, it will be
shown that during the first year of
the return of beer fully $4,000 persons
found employment in the manufacture,
distribution and sale of beer. Today
that number is conServatively estimated
at $4,000 The immediate effect of the
distribution of millions of dollars for
materials and wages was naturally a
revival of business generally throughout
the state. With the increase in buying
power, many new businesses were
started resulting in further employ
ment.
Year after year the excise tax on
beer mounted. In 1887 the brewing in
dustry of Minnesota paid to the state
treasury ST GIT ,81975. This tax rev.
enue is placed in the general fund and
is allocated to schools, the pension
fund, and unemployment relief. In ad-
dition to this, the brewing industry
paid millions of dollars to cities and
counties for real and personal property
taxes
On the sociological angle, the cam
paign will bring out that Throughout
recorded history beer has been the bull
wark of moderation and sobriety. This
is proved by the experience of Germany
land the Scandinavian countries where
for centuries, beer has been the ma.
ltional beverage and sobriety extremely
high. AS is now generally agreed, the
Eighteenth Amendment failed because
it could not enlist the moral support O.
the people With the relegalizing O
beer the people, satisfied with the new
order, lost no time in eliminating tn,
bootleggers and their gangster brethren
Having viewed with horror the de-
moralization of the people by an un
popular law, the brazen defiance of Law
; and order by gangs made powerful b.
their Illicit trade, and the stigma place.
