Held There December 20.

The first round of the Golden
Gloves Tournament for district No.
l will be held this year in the Hinck-
ley high school auditorium on Friday
night, December 20.
Hinckley was awarded the tourna-
ment, which was formerly held at
Mora, after much bidding from sew
eral communities within the district.
The Hinckley American Legion Post
was instrumental in getting the tour
nament for its community and the
boys have been busy getting things
in shape for the first show. The event
is reported as being warm-up show
since many of the "old hands" on
previous Mora shows are anxious to
get started before the finals which
will be held during the month of
January.
Trophies will again be awarded
this year to the various winners and
Harry Jones of Mora, will present a
cup to the team with the greatest
number of entries and point winners

$50 p. m. sharp.
All amateur boxers, at least 16
years of age, who live within the dis
trict which includes Kanabec, Isanti,
Mile Laos, Chisago and the greater
part of Pine county, with the excep-
ton of a few towns in the northeast
corner, are eligible to enter the tour
nament The town of Forest Lake, in
Ramsey county, and Moose Lake, in
Carlton county, are likewise eligible
to enter the tournament.
Entry blanks may be had by writ
ing to Director Gene Moher at Mora.

Finlayson Gets
Back To Normal

The ban on public gatherings ir
the Finlayson community which was
announced Friday night, has now
been raised and usual community
meetings and gatherings will be re-
sumed.
School was closed as a protection
and precautionary measure against
the possible spread of an epidemic
of infantile paralysis which took the
lives of two children near McGrath
recently. However, the danger to
the Finlayson community is reported
to be slight.
The school will, however, not be
re-opened until after the holidays
since such a short time remains now
before Christmas.

Sandstone Gets A
Sewer Extension

Citizens of the north part of Sand
stone received the encouraging news
this week that a sewer extension pro-

same will be commenced at once.
The news has also been well received
by the many workmen in the village,
many of whom will receive employ
ment on the project.
Plans are also under way to estab-
lish a sewage disposal plant, which
may be started soon.

Town Officers
Plead For More
County Economy
Representatives of Town
Officers League Appear
Before County Board.

The Pine county board of commits
sioners met Tuesday in its last reg
ular session of 1889 in the court house
al Pine City. The afternoon session,
generally, was taken up in hearing
representatives of the Pine County
Township Officers League. Oscar w.
Anderson of Sturgeon Lake, secretary
of the league, and G.. K Hendricks of
Danforth township, chairman, pre-
sented program of economies to the
commissioners and asked their adop-
ton. Mr. Anderson asked that the
county mill rate be reduced and that
the county's budget be governed by
the revenue received. He likewise
advised against excessive granting of
tax abatements and offered other
suggestions which were discussed pro
and con during the afternoon session.
After Mr.. Anderson had laid his
program before the commissioners,
County Auditor Joseph E. Therrien
advised the meeting that said rec
concentrations were too late as tax
rates have already been made. In
answer to a criticism of excessive
assessment fees in the unorganized
districts of Belden and Keene, the
county auditor offered to place that
duty out on bids in the future. Mr.
Therrien called attention to many
items which the board was compelled
by law to observe and stated that
county officials, generally, are at
tempting to hold down the budget to
the lowest limit.
Hendricks CriticiZes Board.
Chairman E. B. Greenwald of the
county board, then invited other re-
marks and G. K. Hendricks responded
with a discussion on the program
previously suggested by Mr. Ander-
son. After Mr. Hendricks completed
his criticism and suggestions Mr..
Greenwald then called attention to
the boards problems. He stated that
the welfare division in Pine county,
alone, is costing 100000 more annually
than it did eight years ago and he
urged anyone with a thought toward
criticism of the county officials to
look into the demands made on that
board before directing criticism at
them.
Mr.. Greenwald advised that tax
payers should not talk so much about
mill rates but rather talk in the terms
of the actual amount of dollars and

Willow River. Her narrative fol-
lows:
On the first of the week your cor
respondent completed the pleasure
of perfect day by taking a drive
through the General Andrews nursery
grounds just north of Willow River
and was much surprised to note the
rapid progress made in the develop
ment work now going on there. The
big kitchen, planned to accommodate
800 men, will be finished on or be-
fore the 23rd of this month, and as
rs new men are due to arrive from
the old Thistledue camp Christmas
morning, they will dedicate the build
ing with big Christmas dinner for
100 men. That the meal will be
ample and tasty is assured by the
fact that it will be prepared by STAN
ley Jaglowski, a Willow River boy,
who did just this kind of work for
five years in Uncle Sans army and
has been working in the capacity of
chief cook for some weeks at the
camp.
New Buildings in Sections.
The new dormitories, or "bunk-
houses" as the crew calls them, are
just being started and will go up ''like
magic" as the buildings are all made
in sections. All the crew has to do
is to fit them together on suitable
foundations and smear" on the paint
Smear" is perhaps not the proper
word to use, because everything about
the place and premises bears evidence
of having been carefully planned and
the workmanship is first class in
every particular. Any workman
found "smearing' anything on those.
premises would doubtless have to
climb jack pine and pull the tree
right up after him.
The big "cat" was hauling a "a
inch ploW over a 40-acre field that
just a few weeks ago was practically
a forest. Not stump could be seen
anywhere, but there were enormous
quantities of forest debris that had
been taken from the land and was
being carted to convenient spots for
burning The writer was informed
that it would be injurious to the land
for forestry if any of the brush and
slaShings were to be burned on it,
and was curious to know the reason
but in the absence of the superin-
tendent did not have the question
answered.
The Water Project.
AS to the water conservation pro-
ject, the beaver dam, on the site
where the old mill dam had been,
had been dug out and the water of
the river was being lowered very
rapidly. AS soon as the river freezes,
work of clearing the bottom from
trees and underbrush will be started.
When that is burned above the ice
the spring floods will carry away all
the ashes and leave the future lake
pure and sweet; otherwise it would
leave a pond fouled and unfit for
fishes. 1t is planned to complete the
dam before spring. About so to 60
men will be required to clear the
future lake bottom within the time
specified in the construction plans.
There is much about the two pro-
jects that would be of interest that
may be more definitely stated as the
work progresses, but it is safe to say
that this vicinity and Pine county in
general is fortunate to have the Gen.
eral Andrews nursery and its COM
panion work and water supply 10

WHO COMMITS OUR CRIMES?

The prevalent idea that young men
and women commit more crimes than
other age groups is given a wallop by
Magistrate Matthew J. Troy, of Brooklyn,
who says that survey of court cases in
1888 revealed the fact that the largest
group of criminals in that city was 80 to
SO years old.
This is interesting information, even
if it applies to Brooklyn. There may be
some truth in the observation in other
areas. For example, recent survey by
the Public Affairs Committee shows that
of all persons arrested and finger-printed
in an underlined area in 1888 the age group
20 to 20 had the largest number of GRIM
inals, followed by the group from 80 to 80
and, third in order, was those under 20
years of age.

FATE

What men call fate for lack of a bet
ter word is strikingly illustrated by the
accidental killing of six-year-old school
boy in Great Britain.
When the outbreak of war seemed to
threaten the life of thousands of school
children in London the government, after
elaborate precautions, moved most of the
young boys and girls out of the danger
zone, billeting them with families in the
safer areas.
Well. just afterwards, Royal Air
Force plane, making a routine flight, ac-
cidentally dropped a dummy bomb which
crashed through the roof of a country
home, killing one of the six-year-old chill
dren, recently moved from the danger
zone in London, where no bombs have
fallen so far. A younger brother, sleeping
in the same bed, was not hurt.

THE LIONS TAKE ACTION

Last Sunday there was quiet meet
ing of representatives of ID Lions Clubs in
Southeast Florida at Pigeon Key The
meeting was not widely publicized and at
tracted little general attention. Many Key
Westers didn't know anything about the
affair, so naturally they thought nothing
about it. That was last Sunday
Today everyone in Key West should
know about that meeting. Something con-
structive for Key West was accomplished
there. What was done may mean many
thousands of fresh dollars to the finan-
cially famished people of this community
1t will help swell the income of the Over
seas Highway Commission.
The Lions voted to cooperate in
bringing down Overseas Highway and
through Key West as many delegates and
others attending next years Lions Inter-
national convention at Havana as they
possibly can. They have appointed
committee representing the ID clubs to
work out a publicity program and CO.
operate in this effort.
Between $4,000 and 10000 persons
probably will attend the Lions Inter-
national convention at Havana Outbreak
of European hostilities may so disrupt reg
ular transportation channels that it might
be impossible to move that many Amer
leans to and from Cuba-unless some solu-
ton is found The Lions believe they have
found the solution.
They hope to induce one of the steam
ship companies, possibly the P. & o., to
put steamship in operation between Ha-
vana and Key West By bringing dele
gates to the convention down the highway
and through Key West to this ferry to
Cuba, the Lions expect to solve the trans
portation problem. One steamship easily
can make a round trip each twelve hours
between Key West and Havana.
1t is easy to see the benefits that will
accrue to Key West by this arrangement.
Many thousands of persons will pass
through the city as they go to and return
from the Havana convention. They will
travel over the highway. They will be in
holiday mood and will have lot of fun
They will need food, lodging and other
supplies and services.
Key West should be thankful the
Lions held a little meeting at Pigeon Key
last Sunday The Citizen believes the
members of that organization deserve the
thanks of the community for thinking
enough of the community to do something
really constructive and fine for the COM
munity. 1t certainly is another outstanding
example of the kind of community service
that the organizations of Key West are
giving to lift the community up out of the
depths.
