{, HIS vile and 6-year-old daugh'
ter are under arrest in Leningrad,
-Butenko said in signed article in
the semiofficial Fascist newspaper
Giornale d'Italia.
RECALLS IGNORED
In the midst Of a diplomatic
purge which has cost several
Russian emisSaries their lives,
Butenko was the second member
OF the foreign service to turn
down recalls to Moscow. Alex
Ander Barmine. charge d'affaires
in Athens, took refuge in Paris
while colleagues were facing fir
ing squads.
Butenko wrote today that he
coined the Soviet diplomatic SER
vice expressly for the purpose of
escaping from Russia.
During my service in Buch-
Arrest, I was constantly under
the surveillance of the GPU," he
said.
/. TELLS OF HIDING
Revealing for the first time the
details of his disappearance in
Bucharest, which brought sharp
outcry in Moscow and Soviet
charges of a Fascist political
crime" Butenko wrote:
Il left the Soviet legation
February 6, and hid in Bucharest
until February 10"-and all the
: while a great international hue
/ and-cry was going on.
I "Then I came to Italy,"
: Editors note: Butenko appar-
emily kept his anti-Socialist feel
ings and his escape plan a close
secret from the Soviets. When
he vanished February 6 between
the chancellery in Bucharest and
his home, the Soviets dispatched
D sharp note to Bucharest,
imperatively demanding that he
be found at once, or measures of
;reprisal would be taken.

that Fascists tendencies in Ru

Earnings and Wages
Declared at Stake

Q.N.SO. Revenues for 1888 will
be substantially lower than those
of 1887, unless relief through in
creased rates is afforded, Roy B.
White, president of the Western
Union, told the Federal Com
munications Commission today at
a hearing on its application for
an increase of is per cent in prac-
tically all domestic rates.
RECORD CITED
White said for more than 80
years the telegraph industry has
been able to meet all Of the chang
ing conditions and increased costs
by its own efforts and during that
time has not asked for an increase
in rates. Instead, he added, it has
voluntarily liberalized its rates as
often as possible.
He told the commission that
severe shrinkage in revenues re-
uuried drastic economy measures.
Dividends to stockholders were
first reduced and then suspended;
expenses of every kind. other than
wages, were curtailed in every
possible way.
WAGES AFFECTED
"As a last resort in 1881 our
company was reluctantly forced
to look to wages for further
economy, since 65 per cent Of
Western Unions gross revenues
goes to its employees in wages
and benefits" he said.

Cass Lake Man Wins
$50 for True Story.

Bemidji-Orville Halverson is $50
richer because he wrote letter to the
magazine "Click" in which he told Of
something unusual he witnessed many
years ago when he was only slip OF a
lad. Click offered liberal prizes for
suggestions of subjects for unusual pic
lures. Entering the contest Mr.. Hal
verson related how many years ago he
found nest of small black ants in an
old stump. He casually placed lighted
match near the hole. What was his
surprise when the ants became fiercely
agitated and fire brigade was quickly
formed to put the fire out. Not all of
the ants responded to the fire alarm
but only certain ants that apparently
belonged to the fire brigade. These
quickly surrounded the burning match
and squirted fine streams of a milky
substance on the fire Their combined
efforts were effective in putting the
fire out. For many years Mr.. Halver-
son told of his experience, but no one
would believe it. Finally the story wa.
substantiated in Popular Mechanics
1t was this story, submitted to Click
that won the $50 for Mr.. Halverson.

45 Pounds Dimes
To Buy NeJU Car.

Howard Lake-Although Paul Rot
solk last week bought car with dimes,
it was not one secured at the dime
store. On the contrary, the car was
a very swank sedan, requiring $3.50 of
the small pieces of silver, enough to
weigh As pounds, to pay for it. Paul
had been saving every dime that came
his way for long time and when he
got ready to buy new car he was all
set. The dimes were piled loosely into
paper carton and weighed about As
pounds. Claude Moorhead, from whom
the car was purchased, turned the job
of counting the money over to A. G. and
H. Reiter, who shared the work of
counting the dimes and wrapping them
in $500 packages. Working in relays,
the job lasted several hours. Pictures
taken of the silver pieces piled on a
desk impressed persons who saw them
as lot of "chickenfeed"

Winning its fourth game in row,
the Ely city baseball team downed
Cook, 9 to l, on the losers field, July
4. This victory avenged the only set
back the local aggregation has suffered
so far this season in regularly sched-
uled game, the 18 to contest dropped
to Cook early in June. This game was
played before Ely had lined up its
pitching staff for the season.
Leading nine to nothing at the end
of the fourth, Ely coasted along during
the rest of the game. The Cook team
was unable to register hit until the
seventh. In the ninth they connected
with two, one by B. Urick and one by
Nelson, who both went into the game in
the fourth at second and right field,
respectively, to score their only run.
Urick made the counter.
For Ely, B. Banks scored in the first,
Debeltz and Krall in the second, B.
Banks and Maddern in the third, and
Sweigel, F. Banks, B. Banks and Petrich
in the fourth.
Petrich allowed three hits, one run,
famed IL, and walked seven. Hendy,
for Cook, gave up Il hits, nine runs,
struck out five and walked three.
Friday, Ely travels to Virginia to
tangle with the Rangers under the
lights, and Sunday they play at Two
Harbors. Both are first class teams and
will play return engagements here.
Before the game got under way at
Cook, several members of the two teams
participated in couple of contests to
entertain the crowd. Carl Berini, now
regular on the local club, won first
in the ball throwing contest with a
heave estimated to be around 335 feet.
Corners Of Cook was second. Sprinting
around the bases in 16 seconds, w.
Reichel won this event. Glavan was
second, making the trip in 16.5 seconds.
Richola, right fielder, will not play
with Ely for the rest of the season,
since he has moved to Orr.

Just Broken In
At 1000 Miles

Granite Falls-Just how far do you
expect your automobile to go to give
the kind of service you expect? Before
you answer this, consider Kermin
Ruds's Model T Ford car. 1t has rolled
up mileage of well over 100000 miles
and, according to Kermin "it's just
getting well broken in now" The car
started out with speedometer but this
disappeared many years ago, Kermin
says. At that time it registered $4,000
miles. The only major repair the car
has ever undergone has been a CYL
inder reboring job Not quite satisfied
with the speed the original gears were
capable of, Kermin put in new speed
gears and now boasts that he can make
SIS miles an hour. The car runs % to
Is miles on gallon of gas, and, to
quote Kermin, "she is easily good for
another 100000 miles"

Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-10-01

Precepts of God stand related to one
another, a knowledge and love of the
Person being essential to a respect
for his precepts. So God logically in
PRODUCED his Person preparatory to
promulgating his precepts: II am Je-
hovah thy God, who brought thee out
of the land of Egypt, out of the house
of bondage. Thou shalt have no other
gods before me-" Jehovah's love for
and his redemption of Israel were to
be the basis of IsraePs love for and
obedience to Jehovah. Gods redemp-
ton of them from Egyptian bondage
was not conditional upon their obedi-
ence to the Ten Commandments, but
was the free gift of Gods grace in
gratitude for which their obedience
was asked. 1t is ever after this same
order: I'VE love him because he first
loved u.s." What God is and has done
for us gives color to his every pre-
cept.
Quite properly the first of these
Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-10-01

precepts has to do with our relation to
our redeeming God. Our duties to God
introduce our duties to our fellow
men. Jesus answered, The first, is
Hear, o Israel; The Lord our God,
the Lord is one: and thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with ali
thy mind, and with all thy strength.
The second is this, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself. There is none
other commandment greater than
these" Supreme love expresses all
there is to religion: the outflow of
Gods love to us and the back flow
of our love both to him and to our
neighbor in appreciation of his love
to us. But it is to be the utmost of
love of which we are capable. giving
to God the full measure of the af-
lection of our hearts, the devotion of
our souls, the thoughts and reason
ings OF our minds and the service of
our strength. In every realm of our
'being God is to be enthroned as Lord
of all. This pre-eminence in all things
is to be given him not only for his
glory, but for mans own good. Look
unto me, and be we saved, all the
ends of the earth: for 1 am God and
there is none else.' Apart from God
no blessedness is possible for us. "To
us there is one God, the Father, of
whom are all things and we unto him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ, through
whom are all things and we through
him." st. Augustine expressed it say
ing: Thou hast made us for Thy
self, and the heart of man is restless
until it finds it's rest in Thee"
