There will be divine service in the
Oakhill church at Gas a. m. and at

Sunday; Sunday school at Swede
Park at 10 a. m. and at Oakhill at

Next Sunday is set aside as Worlds
Temperance day and is to be espe-
cially observed in the M. E. Sunday
school, but that doesn't prohibit 9TH
ers from stressing temperance on
that day, and it surely would be well
for all Sunday school teachers to
point out texts from the Bible which
teach temperance.

Many of our rural teachers are at
tending the Minnesota Education As
ISOLATION convention in Minneapolis
this week.
High School Transportation.
Less than so applications for high
school transportation aid have been
sent to this office. October 81 is the
deadline set by the state. Please
hurry We have no way of know
ing which rural districts are paying
transportation and are eligible for
aids. Last year over 60 rural districts
qualified for this aid. We expect over
70 or rs rural districts to do so this
year. Rush.
Fair Premiums.
The checks for the rural schools
county fair winners are being mailed
to the teachers this week. The rural
teachers will deliver to the pupils.
Due to the fact that less money is
available for this department this
year, the premiums were cut to SO
cents, 35 cents and 20 cents.
More Room.
In connection with the county fair,
we have heard the good news that
the new conservation building will
provide some additional space needed,
and the old Pine City village hall
| Gold schoolhouse) very likely will
be donated to the county fair board
and moved to the fair grounds so as
to provide much needed space for
the rapidly growing activities, such
as schools All Clubs, etc. Thus is the
march of time. Thus the old land
marks take new forms.
Good Attendance.
The good weather this fall has
made rural school attendance very
good. Three kinds of state aids are
based on average daily attendance,
namely apportionment, supplemental
and transportation consolidated, iso-
lated and crippled children).
Reason for Thanks.
Total state aids for the school year
1867 received by Pine county
schools amounted to over 1924, 900.
For this past year they will run high
er. For 1887, Pine county also re-
ceived from the state over $309, 900
for old age pensions, direct relief,
drouth relief and roads. Add to this
over a half million dollars in Fed
eral money received by Pine county
in one year and you will appreciate
the reasons why business, prices,
schools and roads remain good. Few
children are now forced to remain
home because of lack of food or
clothing. This year (1938) Pine
county is assessed only $4,000 state
levy on property and will pay less
than $4,000 into the net income tax
fund.
Thus Pine county receives from the
state over a half million dollars an
nually and pays to state in direct taxes
less than $4,000.

| Governor Benson in an automobile
in the parade and has been falsely
called Charles Krumbein, head of the
New York Communist party. The
picture in question, which has been
contained in Republican propaganda
literature, is now known to be q

Whitney participated in the pa

"The President has sent over tc
me the memorandum on Minnesota
farm conditions which you left with
him on your recent visit to Hyde
Park. I am particularly glad he did
so, for it is an unusually compre-
hensive and discriminating statement
of the situation.

Administration at once to look into
the administrative questions your
memorandum raises. At the same

the Department to have the benefit
of your first-hand report. I won't
say that the memorandum is COM

Duquesne Beats Niagara
In last-Period Rush
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20. -Du-
quesne dropped the curtain on a
disappointing football season today
by whipping favored Niagara Uni
versity, is to g. before some 1000
chilled fans In slippery Forbes Field.
The contest was a holdover from
Thanksgiving, when snow buried
the field.
The home team scored first in
the second period, after a 15-yard
holding penalty set Niagara back
to its 4-yard line. The return punt
was blocked and Reserve End Dick
Batiston pounced on the ball over
the goal.
In the next period 41-yard pass
by Niagara's Dan Desantis to Al
fred Lipinski put the ball on the
Duquesne IA. An offside penalty
moved it up to the 8, Alton Caisse
rounded left end to the l and Lipin-
ski scored through center.
Frank Eureka, Duquesne tackle,
intercepted pass in the final pc
riod and ran 10 yards to the Niagara
43. -Four plays later John Fedor-
chak skidded "a yards for another
score.
Just before the final whistle, Ray
Serangelli tackled Joe Melonovich,
Niagara halfback, behind the goal
line for a safety as the latter at

Duke Now Stondout, Declares F|oherty
Figures Unnerested Blue Devils Over c. u for Rose Bowl Nod

lieve the Christians deserve the
bid as much as the Blue Devils.
Comparative scores mean little
or nothing, but if you compare
Duke with T. c. U. by this
method, the advantage Is all in
favor of the former. Pitt routed
S. M. u, the team which Texas
Christian defeated yesterday,
20-7, by 34-7 and Duke licked
Pitt, TO. All of which indicates
that Duke is, on paper, three
touchdowns better than T. G. U.
Another thing which I believe
would influence the Rose Bowl
invitation to Duke is that the
New Year Day classic of classics
should be as widely intersectional
as possible and T. C. U. is too
much of q Western school to be
considered bona fide represent
ative Of the East.
Listening to the Duke-Pitt
game on the radio yesterday
wasn't the first time I'd heard of
Eric Upton, Dukes great back,
as we've been keeping tabs on the
Durham senior all season. In
fact, we were determined to make
an effort to draft him at the
annual league meeting next
month long before his CONN cor
ner punting against Pitt proved
one Of the high lights Of the game,

After yesterday, don't see how
the Rose Bowl Committee can
pass up Duke as its Eastern
nominee unless it ignores COM
pletely the Blue Devils as it
ignored. the Colgate team of 1882.
That was the year, you remem-
ber, when Colgate, like Duke to-
day, was undefeated, united and
unscored upon, and later as
Andy Kerr so appropriately
added-uninvited. However, Duke
has announced itself as uninter-

The Red Raiders of six years

schedule that Duke has just COM
pleted, climaxed as it was with
yesterdays TO defeat of a still
highly rated Pitt eleven. Indeed,
I don't know of any major COL
lege team of recent years, except
that 80 Colgate eleven, which
has gone through a season un-
defeated, united and unscored
upon.

QUINCY, Mass, Nov. 26.-Wear-
ing stockings for the first time in
its gridiron history, a highly IA
vored Newport News (Va.) football
team today was held to a scoreless
tie by Fore River in an intersec-
tional battle between the two
Bethlehem Steel Corp. operated ap-
prentice schools.
The game was played on a slip
perry field in weather so cold two
Virginia players wore gloves. Fun
bles cost the Southern team sew
eral scoring opportunities as it
marched four times deep into Fore
River territory. Snow removed
from the field was banked along the
sidelines.
Newport News started its second
team and it was not replaced until
late in the second quarter. The
last period found both teams open
ing up their passing attack, despite
adverse conditions, in an attempt
to avoid the double goose egg. A
crowd Of 5000 saw the game.
The visitors outrushed Fore River,
making 6 first downs to 2. The
Quincy teams second first down
came on the only penalty levied
during the encounter. 5-yarder
against Newport News for running
into a kicker.
