Fisherman, With 5
Lines Within La,U

Game Warden Stretch of near
Moorhead, tells good story about
himself that happened recently
while the alert warden was down
at the lake investigating the fish
ing. With his high-powered field
glasses he discovered a man who
had four or five lines tied to his
boat and hanging into the water
in addition to a rod and reel in
his hand. Mr.. Stretch proceeded
to see that justice was done by
ordering the fellow to pull into
shore for using more than one line.
Not only did the man refuse to
come in but he emphasized his
disobedience to the command with
few unkind remarks. Upon this
display of stubbornness, Mr..
Stretch ordered the many lines
pulled in. You can imagine the
warden's embarrassment when the
end of each line disclosed a bottle
of beer securely attached. Mr..
Stretch is still enjoying a good
laugh on himself.

Rutledge Resident Writes
Interestingly Of His Trip

white man, now the white man
"skins" the tourist.
Sees Varied Aspects.
In travelling through the southern
part of our state we found crops and
conditions about average with recent
rains boosting things for brighter
outlook; crossing thence into Nebras-
ka crops were considerably below a
fair average, grain standing only six
to eight inches high and the soil hav-
ing the appearance of a dry clay
baked like appearance. Although all
they need is three or four good rains
to insure good crop, the rains
haven't appeared. The farms in
western Kansas range from a half
section to section or more in size
One thing we can be thankful for
at home is that we don't have a tax
on everything as in Iowa, Kansas and
Colorado. Everything you buy or
eat you have to pay tax token on.
The only thing 1 can say is that
Colorado gives you little bigger tax
token than other states, but taxes you
just as much.
Driving along through the western
part of Kansas. we noticed what ap-
peared to be an approaching dark,
hanging cloud. At the same time
we noticed people scurrying toward
town-farmers, section hands, etc.

Nursing Work To
Again nBeOffered
In Pine County
Sponsoring Fund Will be
Furnished by Welfare Adj
ministratiOn After Jan. l.

Announcement as to the start OF
the Pine county nursing service after
Jan. l, 1910 is made this week by
the Nursing Advisory committee, fol-
lowing a meeting with the county
board of commissioners. In order
that the sevice might be established
at the beginning of the school year
instead, the committee urges that all
school boards and Red Cross chap
ters send their appropriations in al
once as this money must be in the
hands of the treasurer before the
Federal fund is available.
Result of Meeting.
The Advisory committee, together
with several other citizens represent
ing nearly every locality in the coun-
ty, met with the county board Mon
day and asked them to reconsider the
appropriation of $3.50 to help re-estab-
lish the nursing service in Pine coun-
ty. After the advisory chairman, Mrs
Herbert Johnson, gave the view OF
the committee, she introduced DR.
F. F. Callahan, medical director OF
Pokegama Sanitorium, who spoke in
behalf of the nursing service. DR.
Callahan explained how important
it was to have county nurse and
cited cases that had come under his
observation recently and one case in
particular where the nurse had saved
the county money.
Mrs. Kenneth Gay spoke for the
northwestern part of the county and
told how the service was accepted
there. Mrs. Donald Ehmke, who has
lived at Markville the past two years,
80 miles from doctor, told how the
nurse came into that territory and
organized women in eastern Pine
county into classes where they re-
ceived training in Home Hygiene and
Maternity and Child care which was
very beneficial. Others spoke and
asked questions.
After short talk by E. B. Green
wald, chairman of the board, explain
ing that this fund would be appro-
priated from the Welfare fund, the
board took a vote in favor of the
service

furnishing food and clothing and other
necessary things to re-establish those
who were damaged to as near normal

leader in supervising disasters of this
kind.
Mrs. Helen Kobel, field representa-
tive of northern and central Mime
sofa, states this is the third disaster
in Minnesota that has come to the
attention of the Red Cross in the
past 18 months. One on the North
Shore when the fishing fleets were
dashed to pieces by heavy winds and
some lives were lost and the forest
fire at International Falls. A sum
of $4,000 will be spent in aiding in
dividual families at Anoka.

Security Skin Is One of
First Effects of Lice

Lice are never found on fat cat
tie. Lousy animals are always thin,
and the patches where the hair has
fallen out give them a ragged and
ugly appearance. This fact brings
up a question-do lice make cows
thin, or do thin cows simply acquire
lice as a matter of course? Per-
haps the question is not important;
the important thing is to rid the
animals of ice,. asserts writer in
the Missouri Farmer. One first de-

A beautiful job was done by Inter-
national in combining gay-colored
pure silk Persian print with black
silk crepe for the frock to the right
in the illustration. The softly
crushed, yet snugly-fitted corselet
waistline was inspired by Alix, and
here we have it closed up the front

The softly draped skirt is split to
reveal just enough of the print to
make it interesting. The deep "
neckline is one of the most fatter-
ing, whether worn by debutantes or
their mothers.
The daring things done with color
in the advance print fashions is
amazing. For instance one of the
prettiest frocks in the new collec-
tons uses purple crepe panel
brought down to the hemline from
one shoulder and an American
beauty red crepe panel comes down
from the other shoulder. These tie

tiny conventional motifs in mo-

the types that print one color on a
monotone background such as yell
low on black or navy, or brown on
beige or light green on dark ground
and so on.
