New School Jobs
Now Seem Sure
Willow River and Sturgeon
Lake Apparently Will Get
Much Needed Projects.

For some time past the Willow
River and Sturgeon Lake school dis
tricts have been endeavoring to pro-
cure funds to construct school pro-
jects, Willow River to get new four
class room addition to the present
building and Sturgeon Lake to con-
struct an entire new building, but
up to the present time the matter
has been confined to getting the pro-
jects allotted. This now seems to
have been arranged, although tele-
gram from United States Senator
Ernest Lundeen, does not designate
which is Willow Rivers and which
is Sturgeon Lakes project.
The telegram follows:
''Delighted to inform you that the
President has designated the follow
ing projects as part of the Works
Progress Administration and these
projects are now eligible for opera
ton at the discretion of the State
Works Progress Administration. The
sum of $37,534 has been allotted to
construct school building and per-
form work appurtenant thereto in
Guiding grading and landscaping of
grounds-State WPA No. 4O271.
"The sum of $25,238 has been al
lotted to construct school building
including excavation, backfilling,
grading and landscaping grounds, in
stalling heating, lighting, ventilation
and plumbing facilities, painting and
performing incidental and appurte-
nant work-State WPA No. 4O3O4."
Willow Rivers project will con-
sist of four class rooms to be con-
structed on the north side of the pres
ent school building in 3Ox6O addi-
ton. Sturgeon Lake will get an en-
tirely new building, having outgrown
the one now in use.
Authorities in the two commun-
tiles are so far uniformed as to when
the work will start, but it is expected
to be certain that the projects will
be had.

Ways In Which Americans May
Cain Wealth In The Future Seen

produce more food, better machines
and handler implements. This knowl-
edge has caused our foreign trade to
dwindle, and it appears that that
source to gain riches for Americans
is gone forever.
There was still yet another way
for Americans to gain easy money.
While the industrial revolution was
going on it became necessary in order
to get the huge sums of capital re-
quired for the building and equip
ment of factories, to form great cor
porations.
These corporations were selling
stock and floating bond issues. This
stock and also the bonds were then
offered to the public and bought by
the men and women who had gained
extra capital in other enterprises,
and if they were lucky in their selec-
ton of securities, all they had to do
hencefOrth was to re-invest their
dividend checks and their interest
coupons and watch the market for
the opportune moment to sell out and
re-invest. This process, of course
is still in vogue, but you either have
to be very smart or very lucky to
gain riches in that way nowadays
A Different Kind of Cooperation.
Still, there is a way yet in which
America and Americans can gain
wealth; but it is not an easy way
1t requires hard work and will to
do things. 1t really requires desire
to work not for oneself alone, but
for the community, for the state and
for the United States and for the
whole world. The only way for the
majority of Americans to gain wealth
today is to produce more food, more
goods, more automobiles and more
of everything desired and wished for
by mankind, and at the same time see
to it that it can be distributed and
sold to the consumers at equitable

By A. GRAVESEN

Formerly there were several ways
for Americans to obtain wealth. You
could take up a homestead, work
hard in improving it or sit down
doing nothing and let your neighbors
do the hard work. In either case
you would profit. Your homestead
would be more desirable and some
one would come along and offer you
a profit for deciding it over.
Or you could buy a lot on Main
street of the newly plated townsite,
build shack, put in line of gro
ceries, hardware, some patent medi-
cine, or line of general merchan-
disc, and, because of the influx of new
settlers from the East and from Eu-
rope, prosper and grow rich. If
you did not know very much about
merchandising and the business didn't
prosper, you could sell your store and
good will" almost any day at a
very alluring price; this also was be-
cause of the influx of population.
You went west to 'grow up with the
country"
Another way for Americans to gain
wealth was in the ever increasing
foreign trade. Our virgin soil pro-
duced bountiful crops of excellent
quality, and because of low taxes and
improved implements, we could pro-
duce at cheaper cost than the rest
of the world where scarcity nearly
always existed, and sell our surplus
to the other countries at a COMPETE
tive price that was profitable to both
the producer and the exporter. The
excellent machinery, tools and i'm
plements invented by our geniuses
and produced in our factories by
crafty workmen, skilled in their art,
ever alert to simplify and improve
their products, were also in great
demand the world over. But now
the world has learned from us to

Askov
Resident Is Dead
At Seventy-one
Illness Finally Claims Peter
Petersen, A Longtime
Resident Here.

The Askov community was sad
Petersen early Friday evening at his
home in the village. Final rest was
the elimination of a two-year ill
ness, with pneumonia the fatal con-
| tributor.
Mr.. Petersen was born in Kalder-
mes, Laaland, Denmark, Feb 10, 1868.
He came to this country and settled
at Ironwood, Mich, in 1888. He,
however, resided there but short
time and moved to near New Brigh-
ton, this state, where he farmed for
six years after which period he went
to Lac Qui Parle county to take up
farming association and residence
with his brother, Henry, the latter
part which was to continue until
his death. Together they farmed
successfully in that locality % years
and then moved to Askov in 1915
where they bought farm land and
built up the beautiful farm home one
and half miles north of the village
which they relinquished to their
nephew, Clarence Mattson, a few
years ago when they moved into
town to take up residence.
Throughout the years, since 1900,
the brothers, Peter and Henry, en-
joyed as their housekeeper, Mrs. Sine
Sunke, who passed away two years
ago. Mr.. Petersen was a member of
the Danish Lutheran church and dur
ing his life was an honest and indus
trious person whose ready financial
help in late years proved boon to
the community and various individ-
uals.
He is survived by his brother,
Henry, and nephew, Clarence Matt
son, here at Askov; a niece, Mrs.
Gerda Petersen at Kingsdale; nieces,
Mrs. Hiram Bracket and Clara An
dersen of Eveleth; a brother, John,
at Ironwood, Mich, and several sis
tiers in Denmark
The funeral was held Monday af-
ernoon from the Danish Lutheran
church in Askov with Rev. M. Mix
kelsen, local pastor, officiating. PAIL
bearers who carried the body to its
last resting place in the local ceme-
terry were L. A. Paulsen, Fred john
sen, A. P. lessen, Knud Feldtmose,
MAIDS Nielsen and Clemmen Christen-
sen.
Those from away who attended the
funeral were John Petersen and son,
Harry, of Ironwood, Mich; Mrs.
Hiram Bracket and son, Milton, and
Mrs. Clara Andersen and Mr.. Ander-
sen of Eveleth.
The community joins with the rela-
tives in extending sincere sympathy
to them in their hour of sorrow.

The Pine County Rifle League
swung into the second round of its
schedule Tuesday night with Askov
meeting Grindstone on the Askov
range and Finlayson meeting Pine
City at Pine City. Sandstone drew
bye for the evening. Askov won
its match from Grindstone by a score
of 1880 to 1447, while Pine City beat
Finlayson 1904 to 14O6
The high man in each team was
Hans Nielsen of Askov, 1877; c. Madi-
son of Pine City, 1874; George Heino
of Finlayson, 176; and Clifford Wat
rim, 159.
Secretary Ralph Edin of the League
reports that it is possible that Mora
will join and if that team comes in
it will take the place of the "bye"
position and the schedule will be re-
vised accordingly.
Considerable enthusiasm is evident
in the popular sport and the various
teams report new additions to the
ranks right along.

Young Robbers Get
Caught In Duluth

Soon after robbing the Pine Coop
Oil station in Sandstone of two penny
machines and some oil Saturday
night, two 15-year old boys became
over-enthusiastic and attempted to
make haul' in Barnum. However,
the night policeman caught sight of
them and sent some bullets crashing
into their automobile. That sharp
shooting" was destined to be their
undoing.
The two escaped from Barnum but
were soon apprehended in Duluth,
being traced by the tell-tale bullet
holes in the stolen car which they
used. They readily confessed the
Sandstone job and will receive proper
punishment for the crime.

State Snow Removal Units
Receive New Lighting
Equipment.

Striving to reduce the number of
serious traffic accidents resulting
from motor vehicles colliding with
some plows in binding or drifting
snow, while those plows are fighting
to keep the highways open, the State
Highway department has equipped its
several hundred blowing units with
a distinctive set of lights for this Win
ter's work.
1t is often necessary that state
plows work day and night, even
through severe storms, unless COM
plete lack of visibility forces them to
suspend operations. Snowplowing
therefore is as hazardous as it is es-
sential, especially at night when a
heavy fall of snow or drifting winds
reduce driving visibility to mini
num-
AS a measure to safeguard alike
both those motorists who may find it
necessary to travel under storm con-
ditions, and the departments own
employees and equipment, large blue
lamps were installed some time ago,
above the cabs of blowing units, one
shining forward and its twin shining
to the rear. This year, so that mark
ings may be even more readily dis
tinguished, all units of the snow fight
ing fleet are marked with combina-
ton of lights which any motorist may
instantly recognize, and by which he
should be forewarned.
If the pillow is approaching head-on,
the motorist will see: Two truck
headlights (Which may be obscured
by SNOWY, one large blue light high
in the center above the headlights
a white flood-light shining down from
the cab top onto the left side of the
road, and an amber flood-light shin
ing down to the right.
If the motorist is approaching the
rear of snowplow, he will see: The
rear blue light, high above the road
way; the amber lights rays on the
roadway to the left, and the white
lights rays on the roadside to the
right. If he is travelling too fast, OF
approaching too close, he will see
flashed in front of him a large, red
"Stop" light, just below and to the
left of the blue light.

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

More quickly than anyone was able
to predict, the Russo-Finnish crisis
developed last week and reached its
first climax when Russian filters, with
out warning of any kind, bombarded
Helsingfors, the capital of Finland
killing a large number of persons
demolishing many buildings and set
ting a large part of the city on fire
At the same time other Russian bombs
dropped on six or seven other cities
Soviet soldiers crossed into Finland
near Petsamo on the Arctic coasts
and Russian artillery began lombard
ing the islands in the Gulf of Fin
land.
Small though the Finnish defense
forces be, they gave an excellent &C.
count of themselves, evidently quite
unawed by the fact that they were
being attacked by the worlds largest
army, comprising, in a pinch, IS mil
lion soldiers. The Firms trapped
heavy tanks, mined some of the Rus
sian warships, shot down numerous
of the invading warplanes and, gen.
orally, made it known to the world
that although realizing no help could
come from anywhere, they were going
to fight until the bitter end.
Change of Government.
Prior to the beginning of the &C.
tual hostilities, the Russian govern
ment had literally torn to pieces the

of 1882 and had told Finland, in eff

Bruno Pair
Mark Golden
WeddingDay

Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Hill of Bruno
celebrated their golden wedding an
niversary Tuesday, November %. On
Saturday evening their many friends
gathered with them at the Bruno
school to honor them and extend
their good wishes.
H. j. Berglund, master of cere-
monies, Rev. John j. Moedt, Mr.
Adams and E. L. Downing all gave
short talks of Renaissance of Mr.

lunch was served in the school din
ing room where the tables were dec
Grated in white and gold.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hill are in good
health despite their SO and 70 years

neering this north country and have
been successful and happy in their
adventure.

"When you see ahead on the road
this combination of lights, through
gathering dusk, winter darkness, or
the obscuring haze of falling or drift
ing snow, drive with extreme eau

way authorities.
For the safety of the driving public
the Minnesota Highway department
has equipped all state blowing units
with these clusters of lights, crowned
by powerful blue light, shining both
forward and backward, from it's van

eight or ten feet above the highway
