Potato Freight
Rates Reduced

Reduction of freight rates on pota-
toes, which will enable growers in
Minnesota and the Dakotas to COM
pete in southwestern markets with
other spud-producing areas, was an
nounced today by the Great Northern
railway.
Ranging from Is to % percent, the
reductions will become effective as
soon as tariffs can be prepared and
authority for application of the new
rates obtained from the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Railroad rate
statisticians now are in st. Louis
preparing schedules.
Affecting hundreds of potato grow
ers in the three states, the reductions
are the result of a meeting in st. Paul
in October of Northwest spud grow
ers and representatives of railroads
serving their territories. Growers
presented at that time request for
lower rates, and after series of con-
ferences between the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and 500 Line rail-
roads and interested southwestern
lines, the reduction was approved.
The new rates are applicable to
points in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Texas-states in which
Minnesota and Dakota potatoes are
used, to great extent, for seed.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

On December 13, the British cruis-
ers, Exeter" Achilles" and ajax"
engaged the German pocket battle
ship, admiral Graf Spee," in bat
tie off the coast of Uruguay, with the
result that the German was pretty
badly damaged and had to limp into
the port of Montevideo for repairs. In
accordance with neutrality regula-
tons the ship was given a certain
time limit within which to complete
the repairs, and while the Germans
asked for an extension of time, the
British were urging that the time be
cut short. The government of Uru-
quay stuck to the period originally
set.
Blows Up.
The British maintained that the
Admiral Graf Spec" was seaworthy
and therefore not entitled to the pro-
lection of neutral port, but evil
dence appeared rather convincing
that the ship was in very bad shape.
However, repairs were made as hur-
riedly as possible, and late Sunday
afternoon the battleship steamed
slowly out to sea.
It's captain knew that he had to
choose between two alternatives:
Either he would have his ship de-
stroyed by the flotilla of British and

Filings OF 1000
Liens On Homes
OF Aged Pending
Some Recipients of Assist
ance Have Asked to be
Removed From Rolls.

Over 1000 property liens will be
filed in Pine county during the first
week of January against the prop
erty of Old Age Assistance recipients
The law, advocated and sponsored
by Governor Harold E. Stassen, re-
quires that each person applying for
old age assistance, must give lien
on their property to the state, and
should they decline to do so, they
will be removed from the list of those
receiving the aid. About 40 old age
assistance clients asked to be re-
moved in Pine county, when they
learned of the lien law taking effect
The lien is made up by the execu-
tive secretary of the county welfare
board and provides that the state
shall have lien ''for the amount OF
assistance hereafter paid, but with
out interest" Thus, any amount
paid to the recipient before January
!, 1910, will not be included in the
lien, but only what is paid after that
date.
What the Law Provides.
The lien will also contain the fol-
lowing significant provisions:
After the filing of this certificate
the lien embodied herein shall be
enforceable pursuant to the provis-
ions of Minnesota Laws 1889, Chap
ter 315. Provided, however, that nc
such lien and no claim under said
law shall be enforced against the
homestead of the recipient while it is
occupied by his surviving spouse OF
minor children, and provided further
that whenever the county agency is
satisfied that the collection of the
amount paid the recipient will not
be jeopardized, or that the release
of this lien in whole or in part is
necessary for the maintenance or
support of said recipient, his spouse
minor or incapacitated children, said
county agency may, with the APP
proval of the state agency, release
this lien with respect to all or part
of the real property of said recipient
as by law provided.

The Millirens came to Pine county
in the year 1901 and settled on a
farm near Henriette. Their home
was blessed with many children and
both Mr.. and Mrs. Milliren enjoyed
their home life, although both worked
very hard to clear up farm from

tired from the farm at Henriette and
moved to Pine City and built house

At
Pine Lake Burns
Personal and Lodge Equip
ment All Destroyed in
Early Sunday Blaze.

Fire of unknown origin completely
destroyed the fine old building known
to hundreds of people as Harty's
Lodge at Pine lake early Sunday
morning 1t was also the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Harry and was
well equipped with modern conven-
fences to make it popular summer
and winter resort and place where
everyone was welcome at any time.
DR.. w. w. Feidt of Minneapolis,
who was a guest, first smelled smoke
and awakened Mr. and Mrs. Harry
and their niece, Miss Janice Carroll,
but the flames had gained such head
way in the southeast corner where
the store was located, that there was
no time to save any of their personal
belongings. Mr.. Harry was the last
to leave and had to escape by way
of a ladder from the second story.
The loss of household equipment
and personal belongings is greatly
increased by the large supply of gro
ceries and CONNECTIONS and by several
tons of coal which had been stored
recently in the basement. Bedding
and supplies for the several cottages,
which are part of the lodge property,
were also destroyed.
All the fire victims were given
refuge at the Tony bosch home until
Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs.
Harry and their niece and DR.. Feidt
are now comfortable in the pretty
cottage which is not far from where
the lodge stood.
The Lodge is gone, but the memory
of many jolly hours spent there will
long remain. There was some insur-
ance, but no plans have been made
as yet for rebuilding.

old-age insurance and survivors bene-
Germ almost every family in the
United States, in one way or another.
Monthly benefits will begin in 1910.

In addition to monthly payments to
insured wage earnerS who are elig-
ible for benefits after reaching the
