Sturgeon Beach
Woman, Il, Dies
Mary A. Whiting Had Re-
sided i'm That Community
for Ten Years.

The death of popular Sturgeon
Beach woman occurred suddenly Sat-
urday night after she had eaten the
evening meal. She complained of
not feeling we'll and retired to her
bed, but before medical help could
be secured she had passed away. Her
son, Ellis, with whom she made her
home, was not at home at the time
of her death, being at the Moose
Lake hospital where his wife and son
are confined. Mrs. Whiting had been
in poor health since the death of her
husband in December. At that time
she was at the point of death with
pneumonia and heart trouble, but
rallied to the extent that she could
return to the home of her son.
Mrs. Whiting was born July 81,
1867, in Olmstead county and came
to this county in 1923 where she re-
sided in Norman township until six
years ago when she went to Winde-
mere township to live. She had made
her home with her son, Ellis, and fam
lily for the past rs years, coming to
Pine county directly from Waseca.
The deceased was member of the
Congregational church and was united
in marriage to Frank L. Whiting at
Rochester, Nov. /, 1877. She is sur
vived by four children, Guy B. of
Minneapolis, E. c. of Clair City, Mrs.
Glen Root of New Richland, and Ellis
of Sturgeon Lake.
Funeral services were held at
Moose Lake Monday at 100 p. m.
with Rev. j. o. JohanSon officiating
and burial was made in the st. Peter
cemetery at New Richland the fol-
lowing day. Among those from away
attending the funeral were Mr.. and
Mrs. Glen Root and Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond Posacher of New Richland,
MIR. and Mrs. Oscar Lindgren and
Mr.. and Mrs. Art Anderson and fam
lily of Cloquet.
Mrs. Writings son, Ellis, contri-
butes the following expression in
touching indication of how he feels
the loss: $50 passes another of our
dear mothers and grandmothers and
to you who still have your mother
with you, 1 say love and cherish her
for when she is gone it is too late.
She was a wonderful mother to me;
1 loved her and l did all 1 could
for her in life. 1 will miss her
because she was my mother"

Sandstone Garage
Attendant HOnOred

Donald Hejny of the Hejny
Garage in Sandstone will tell
you it is all in a days work
but his friends and those who
know him best will say that it
is his nature to be alert while
on the job. It was while Dom
aid was on duty in the garage
Friday afternoon that motor
ist drove up to the garage and
asked to have his oil checked.
Donald advised the addition of
a quart of oil and then seeing
that the cars fan belt was some
what worn, he suggested that the
motorist purchase new one and
used much salesmanship in SELL
ing the product. Later it was
learned that the driver of the
car was the mystery man" who
the company sent around to
check up on its dealers with the
result that Donald was awarded
with SIS and a certificate of
"Alertness in Selling"

YOungster Che,Us
l6 Aspirin Pills

A four-year-old child, Ruby
Switzer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Orval Switzer of the Holyoke COM
munity, decided recently she liked
aspirin. To satisfy her desire,
Ruby climbed to the top shelf of a
cupboard, reached a full box of
sixteen tablets, and proceeded to
eat.
The parents were not at home at
the time and other children of the
family were busy and did not see
the youngster getting the aspirin.
When she had eaten all but a half
tablet she showed the box to her
sister. Little Ruby then fell asleep
and after about two hours began to
vomit, which she kept up for "a
hours. Bleeding then set in and
there were no hopes for recovery
until at midnight the following
day when improvement began to
be noticed.

A Longer Period
For Duck Hunter
Forty-five Day Season Will
Start October 1 and End
November ID.

A 45-day season on waterfowl is
announced by Ira N. Gabrielson,
chief of the United States Biological
Survey. This is welcome news to
Minnesota sportsmen who have con-
sistently purchased a greater num-
Der of Federal duck stamps than
hunters in any other state. Last year,
Minnesota hunters bought about IA
percent of all the stamps sold.
Under the new regulations, just an
nounced, the daily bag limit will be
10 birds, with possession limit of
two daily bags, or 20. Allowance is
also made for hunters who make the
mistake of shooting some of the pro-
tected birds-canvasback, ruddy,
redhead and buffalohead-and three
of these birds in the aggregate may
be held in the daily bag.
Hours Same as Before.
The season in the northern zone,
including Minnesota, will be from
October l to November ID. Hours
will be the same as formerly, from
a. m. to p. m.
In every respect, except that of
hours, this is the season recommended
in January by Conservation Commits
sioner Herman G. WenZel as a part
of his general conservation program.
The program was adopted by the
Midwest Conference of Game and
Fish officials held at Omaha June 7,
8, and 9. There the recommended
ton was made by the Minnesota
delegation.
At the International Conference
of Conservation officials held at Ash
vile, N. c., on June % and 20, Direc-
tor Harry E. Speakes of the division
of game and fish, and Commissioner
Wenzel carried the proposal to that
body and to DR.. Gabrielson.
whether or not the 45-day sea-
son is direct result of our activities"
says Mr.. Wenzel, 1--WE do feel that we
are fully justified in having made
the proposal and supporting it to a
conclusion Primarily, the longer
season is based upon extensive sur
veys which show that waterfowl have
made a marked comeback, and with
improved nesting conditions, the
longer season, in the opinion of eX-
perts, will not hinder the increase
in waterfowl"

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

And lest we forget! Today it is
twenty-four years since the World
war officially started, for on July g.
1914, Austria Hungary declared war
on Serbia, and during the next few
days, to the deafening accompani-
ment of cannon, war declarations
Numbered over Europe. One might
ask: And to what extent did the
greatest of all wars advance civiliza-
ton? For answer, one merely needs
to look around to find out that ma
tons are more tremendously armed
than ever before; that international
nervousness is so acute that each
little border incident is talked about
as the potential cause of new wars;
that disarmament is completely
dead issue; that mankind is donning
gas masks to an extent not even
dreamt of prior to 1914-and that
bloody wars again are in progress
in Asia and Europe.
Royal Visit.
While great powers prepare for a
new conflagration, their statesmen
utter honeyed phrases about the bless
ings of peace; they were very audi
BILE in Paris few days ago, too,
when the king and queen of Great
Britain were received with all i'm
aginable pre-war pomp and circum-
stance. The visit was made for the
obvious purpose of serving notice on
Germany and Italy that come what
may, Great Britain and France stand
shoulder to shoulder; that was made
manifest last April when an agree
ment concerning military and naval
cooperation in time of war was signed
between the two powers; the royal
visit put its final and official stamp
on that pact.
Lord Halifax, British foreign min
lister, accompanied his sovereign to
Paris and carried on a series of con-
ferences with French diplomats about
the situation in Czecho-Slovakia and
Spain.
Hitler's Message.
One of the intimate aides of Adolf
Hitler, chief executive of the Ger
man government, had been sent to
London to see Lord Halifax just be-
fore the trip to France started; Hit
Ter wanted to assure the British gov
eminent that the problem of giving
the Sudeten German minority in
Czecho-Slovakia partial autonomy
really could be solved in peaceable
manner, especially if the Czech gov
eminent would be willing to with

John Alfred Dempster, son of

years and 13 days. He leaves to
mourn his departure, his wife,
Media, one son Lawrence, and one
daughter, Mrs. Marjorie Keyhoe,
both of Zanesville; one brother,
Louis; two sisters, Julia, Of Zanesss
Akron, and many other relatives
and friends. He was a devoted hus~
band and loving father, and will
be sadly missed by all who knew
him. Life's slender thread is brok~
en-, and trials and burdens cease;
the father claims one more of his
own, to share in that heavenly
peace. His face will be missed
among us, but his memory and work
will abide; the deeds that are done
and seed that are sown, will bios

praise will be; inasmuch as ye did

v. 8. "For he said unto him.
Come out Of the man, thou unclean
spirit" Jesus discriminates be-
tween evil in a man and the man
himself. The great need of today is
to have evil expunged by the power
OF Christ that we may be free and
holy.
V. 9. "And he asked him. What
is thy name? And he answered
saying, My name is legion" To ask
mans name in ancient times was
to inquire the source of power. The
angel asked wrestling Jacob, "What
is thy name?" When we close our
prayer Gin Jesus name" it is to
recognize his power
VS.. 10, IL 'And he besought
him much that he would not send
them away out of the country. Now
there was nigh unto the noun
and all the devils besought bim say
ing, Send us into swine" The evil
spirits are helpless unless embodied.
Their preference is man. One evil
spirit often induces other evil spirits
to join in the work of commanding
men.
V. 13. "And forthwith, Jesus
gave them leave and the unclean
spirits went out and entered the
. lIIC anu tllC uclu Idl
down a steep place into the sea-
Here is a case of destruction of
property for the sake of a life dem
onstrating the real worth of man.
Evil often outwits itself since the
request to enter the swine was sui
cidal
V. Is. 'And they came to Jesus,
and saw him that was possessed
with the devil, sitting and clothed,
and in his right mind; and they
were afraid" The evidence of
Christ's miracle here was seen in
the peace, quiet and composure of
the one once like a maniac Those
not right with God are naturally
afraid of him.
v. IT. "And they began to pray
to him to depart out of their
coasts" Any reform, philosophy
and any religion that will dispossess
one of property rights is scorned by
owners Of such property. One of
the vital questions today is that Of
redistribution of wealth. The Chris
tian spirit must have the right of
way to use Christian principles that
will make for social and righteous
justice.
