BERCDOLL CAME
 BACK SECRETLY

Broomall, Pa., April 11-(UP)-
 The mother of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, draft-dodger who fled to Germany during the World war, dis closed today that he had visited the United States secretly in 1885 when his fifth child, Vega, was born. Seventy-eight-year-old Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll wept with joy when she learned that her son was returning from Germany to face five-year prison term imposed by a court martial for evading military service.
 She would not say how he had been able to get into the country and out again without being appre- hended.
 The younger Mrs. Bergdoll, how ever, denied flatly that her hus- band had visited this country se- cretly.
 "He wasn't here when Vega was born," she said. "He has never seen his youngest child. Do you think he would be so stupid as to try to sneak into this country? It would only make things harder for us all. My mother-in-law is imaging things. She must have seen ghost"

All Salmon Is
Not In Cans

Ask four Pine county fishermen
who went to the extreme northern
part of Minnesota to get their fish!
And they didn't have to buy their
salmon, they took them right out of
the cold, fresh waters of Loon lake.
Twas on Friday night after
working hours that Jens Hansen
of Askov, G.. Doughfman, Walter
Kempter and George Moll of Sand
stone, started on their hunt for the
wary landlocked salmon, or posi-
bly, lake trout to you and me,
dear readers, of the common fish
ing tribe, but anyway as the story
goes they got 'em. During Sat-
urday all day and Sunday fore
noon, the gentlemen fished and
when they finally hauled in their
lines to call it a session, they had
hooked 10 of the sporty cold water
fighters, two weighing six to six
and half pounds.
And were they good? Just ask
any of those who tasted them!
