Nicholas Brewer, one of Minnesota S
master artists, is i'll. While enroute
to the Black Hills where he was to
paint a canvas of the Rushmore Me-
mortal, Minnesota's famed artist was
halted at Rochester by serious illness
and hospitalized. He now battles the
Shadow.
Is it generally known to us that this
painter was once a Minnesotan agri-
culturist?
Did we know that he, his wife and
boys struggled desperately for bare
subsistence on farm that lay within
a few miles of Stacy in Chisago
county?
Perhaps our grandfathers, up be-
fore dawn, milking, with the yet
cleaning stars aiding the lantern
glow, heard the creaking wheels of
the Brewer lumber wagon trundling
past the cow barn on the highway
to the st. Paul market.
1t is possible they even saw the
artist, at that time unknown in any
art circle, calming recalcitrant steer
in the tow of the wagon.
Or hailed he and his boys from
the hayfields as they drove by in a
July's blistering heat, on their way
to the capitol city with load of
Strawberries which they were to sell
at five cents quart.
But many of the older Chisago
countians did know about the cattle

In Askov, it is apparent that there

School will start in Askov Tuesday
morning, September 5, as practically
all of the work which would inter-
fere in any way with classes, will have

During this week former teachers
are again appearing in their respec-
tive school communities and new ones
are getting established. In regard to
the opening of the school year the
Minnesota State Medical Association
urges that parents have their chill
dren given a medical checkup.
Anything ailing the child, it is
advised, should be taken care OF
before he starts his classes, for that
will mean better grades and in many
instances less danger of serious effects
from illness.

less rage at having to take Brewer
painting in lieu of money, in pay
ment for a skeleton thin bull.
That canvas would command a
handsome price, at any art mart
today.
But Nicholas Brewer, like his gen.
Jus forerunners, Rembrandt and Van
Gogh, did not yield to the cold indif-
ference of the PhiliStine materialists
who have nothing but contempt for
all that is fine and beautiful in the
human being. Though it SCARED his
soul, he still persisted, in the very
teeth of the economic suffocation i'm
posed by the compact majority upon
all creative artists.
In the early struggles to grasp the
technique with which to unleash their
gifts almost every creative worker
has been ignored by society and forced
to the belly-pinch agonies of pow
erty. 1t is stark nobility in the ar
fist that he continues creating, in a
society whose gods are position, title
and the brute power of money.
Here, in our advanced and progress
sive state, only a few decades ago,
an artist of the first magnitude was
given no aid in his economic strug-
giles. He was compelled to prison the
seething creative gift within him in

Pine City Boy Gets
Eagle Scout Ranking

Another Pine county boy was
raised to the rank of Eagle Scout
last week when Morris Milgrom, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Milgrom of
Pine City, was given his badge at
Camp Lawrie, near Cromwell. Both
mother and father were present at the
camp to participate in the ceremony
in which Chief Harry Bartlett of Du-
luth, conferred the rank of Eagle
Scout on eight scouts of the Duluth
area. The ceremony is beautiful
one, being put on in the council ring
at the Scout camp. A crowd of 200
parents and $50 Scouts gathered for
the occasion.
Morris Milgrom is the second son
to obtain the rank from the Milgrom
family, as his brother, Albert, at
tanned the rank about year and a
half ago and this year has served in
the Scout camp as one of the instruc-
tors. The trail of the Eagle Scout
is a long one as 81 merit badges must
be earned, after the Scout becomes
first class.

.Kerrick's Fair
Plans Are All Set
For Saturday
s'Bigger and Better" Event
is Expected to Attract At
tendance From Altar.

Kerrick will present its annual
Community fair on Saturday, Septem-
Der 2. This marks. the twenty-first
consecutive fair held at Kerrick, the
first one having been staged in 1918.
Insofar as attractive festivals are
concerned, Kerrick is reputed to have
the best small fair in the entire state.
1t is unique insofar as it is not sub
sidized. No money is received from
state or county for exhibit prizes.
All work in connection with the fair
is done by residents of the COM
munity, farmers and friends, and no
pay is received. The spirit is one
entirely of good fellowship. All dur
ing the present week men can be seen
building stands on the school grounds,
delivering prizes for the various
games of chance; and on Saturday
the town will be bustling with fever
ish activity. Like carnival, when
the crowd thins in the evening and
the final visitor goes home, the stands
and refuse are whisked away, and
the Sunday traffic will never know
that fair had just been held at
Kerrick the day before.
Well Known Names on Docket.
The names of Wally Neumann and
Larry Hickman are familiar ones
to friends of the Kerrick community.
Wally, one of the most daring pilots
in the country, gave an exhibition
of skill and courage with his plane
two years ago that is comparable only
with Speed Holman. Wally is booked
for the fair again, and if a speedy
little ship should swoop down on
any towns in Pine county next Sat-
urday, it will be Wally, bound for
Kerrick.
AS far Larry Hickman, he speaks
for himself. Round, roly-poly, jov-
ial Larry, dark of face and light of
disposition, kept the dancing crowd
in Mysteries some six years ago; and
he has promised to come to enter
tain with Mym Carter and his col
ored band of st. Paul. The dance
begins at 9 o'clock and ends at l.
One of the best bands in the county
will be featured during the after
noon. The Willow River high school
band, under the direction of Henry
Orvedahl, has gained considerable
prominence the past year and gives a
performance that is highly COM
mended. This group of talented mu-
sicians will lead parade, the type
for which the Kerrick fair is noted.
All these attractions, coupled with
kittenball game, the rousing war
dances of the Indians and the many
other amusements and displays in
dictate that the Kerrick Community
fair of 1889 will be another proof of
the appropriate slogan-"Bigger and
Better" Saturday is the day, Sep
TENDER 2, the date.

hibits Repay Committee,
Community for Efforts.

Askov's Rutabaga Festival was held
Saturday and every department., as
far as can be learned at this time,
proved successful and worthy of the
efforts exerted in its behalf From
early in the forenoon previous to
the time set for the parade until
early afternoon, people continued to
drive into the village to take part
in the gala celebration.
The casual driver through the COM
munity would not guess that there was
such produce, flowers and livestock
as the various exhibition places dis
played, but it was there and plenty
of it with more just like it on the
farms and in the homes in the COM
munity.
Parade is COlorful.
The parade, representing almost
every business establishment and or
ganization in the community, at
tracted wide interest and denoted
much variation of industry. There
was every type of vehicle from bicy-
SlCS W u uShS Will lllSlI CO1Oi
decorations.
Five bands added to the entertain
ment and carnival spirit and these
rendered concerts throughout the day.
The communities indebted to for that
fine addition are Pine City, Kroschel,
Finlayson and Sandstone, and of
course Askov's own organization, the
Little German band.
Finlayson's band did an exceptional
job of entertaining in view of the fact
that only four months ago each of
the child members took his first les
son on musical instrument. The
band is directed by Mr.. Strout who
also directs the Sandstone band.
Richard Aakre, agricultural instruc-
tor of st. Louis county, was the speak
er of the day, and Svend Petersen
was master of ceremonies via the
microphone. A dance terminated the
days program.
Because of the large amount of
work necessary to prepare the prize
winners list, that will not be ready
for publication by the committee
until next week.

Boy Unhurt In Fall
From Speeding Auto

When Myron Wunderlich, Jr., of
Kenyon gets to be little older he's
going to be daredevil for sure. One
morning recently Myron was sitting
in the back seat of the car and his
mother was driving to Faribault.
Suddenly, when the car was travel
ing about so miles per hour, the door
of the car against which the little
boy was leaning, accidentally flew
open. Terrified, she stopped and
looked back and saw Myron get up
off the road, brush off his clothes
and come running toward the car.
How the child escaped is nothing short
of a miracle. He was rushed back
to Kenyon and given thorough
check-up, but the only injuries were
bruises on his legs and arms.
