Willow River
Bazaar Enjoyed.

The bazaar sponsored by the Czech
American National Alliance which
was held in the village hall here Sum-
day was success and the commit
tee was well satisfied. The day was
one of those autumn days that every
body delights to be out in and 60
somewhere. A delicious chicken din
ner was served at noon and booyah
and kOlacky afternoon and evening.
The program began at 2 p. m. and
was opened by few words of well
come by the mayor, E. B. Linsley,
followed by short talk by DR.. w.
c. Ehmke. There were songs and
other numbers. The main speech was
given by one of their members from
Minneapolis. The proceeds of this
benefit will be used for Czechoslo-
wax refugees.
Mrs. Alex Sharlow received a let
ter from Mrs. James Kelly who lives
in Foreston, stating that Mrs. Mason
passed away on September II. Her
husband proceeded her in death 81
years ago. Henry Bride also died
few years ago and his daughter Jes-
sic died this fall. These people will
be remembered by the old timers
who lived around here years ago.
These men were log contractors and
pioneers of Rutledge.
Miss Minnie Bochek returned from
the hospital Saturday afternoon and
will take over her duties as instruc-
tor in the village school here on Oc-
tober IA. During Miss Bochek's ILL
ness the school board was fortunate
in obtaining the services of Mrs.
Herbert Johnson, former teacher
here.
The chicken hunters of last week
and the duck hunters met with a
good deal of success through this
territory and got their bird S,
besides getting new lease on life
by being out in this early fall wea-

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

Several families are of the opinion
that there is practical nurse on
WPA and that Miss Virginia Karlson
can put her in homes on maternity
cases as she did Mrs. Harris before
she was laid off WPA. This is not
SO. The WPA service is no longer
available in the county. However
there is great need for this work
and it is hoped that this service
will be reinstated. Mothers are urged
to try and have some help at this
time, so they can rest at least seven
days after confinement. Many Wom-
en- suffer in later years by starting
work too soon after the baby has
been born.
ImmunizatiOn.
Returns are beginning to come in
from rural schools on diphtheria i'm
munization. Some of the rural schools
have become very interested and
are helping by contracting families
and by assisting by financing of the
program. Many teachers have in
quired about the centers for i'm
munization. This will depend upon
about how many children are going
to be immunized in your school. This
work will be done in the rural schools,
and arranged so that no one will
have to 60 far. If almost 100 per
cent sign up, the doctor will come
directly to that school, using it per-
haps as center. Miss Karlson will
inform each teacher which center
to use as soon as all returns are in,
after October 5. Town schools will
then be done later as doctors would
like to do rural areas before roads
become difficult.

Uncle Sam to Double
Its Giant Size Steam
Heating Plant in D. C.

The biggest non-commercial steam
heating plant in the country is the
one operated by the federal govern
ment in Washington for the heating
and air conditioning of the govern
ment buildings from a central sta
ton. Six great boilers which develop
200 pounds pressure per square inch
are the heart of the heating room.
The coal storage yard will accommo-
date 5000 long tons and an endless
belt conveys the bituminous coal into
the plant and into immense overhead
bunkers from whence it is piped by
gravity into the mechanical stokers
that feed the boilers.
The steam is distributed through
varied sized conduits in a labyrinth of
tunnels of an aggregate footage of
more than three miles. Some of these
underground channels are feet wide
and 7 feet high. In a single "a hours
in extreme cold weather TIP tons of
coal were consumed to turn out 1872
900 pounds of steam per hour. Ashes
ground by rollers are watered and
pumped into flat cars and sold for
road building cinder blocks and other
uses.
So efficient is the plant that ma
chimes in the smokestacks remove any
particles of SCOT from the flue gases
and electric eyes" warn engineers if
the fires are giving off any smoke
This central heating plant re-
placing previous smaller and less eff
ficient units cost about three million
dollars, was put into operation in 1885
and uses we'll over 100000 tons of
coal annually.
But government buildings have
multiplied so rapidly that this 1885
new" central heating plant is al
ready outgrown and with so many
additional buildings now projected to
house national defense staffs as well
as to meet the increased space re-
quirements of existing agencies, a
second heating plant that will dupli-
cate the present one and double the
capacity is now planned and is ex-
pected to be constructed in 1871.

DIARY OF The WAR
Condensed For Readers of The
Republican

FRIDAY-Yugoslavia reports thai
German transport planes are being
used to ferry Italian troops across
the Adriatic to Albania to help stop
the Greek offensive Greek offensive
continued despite extreme cold. The
Greek occupation Of Tepeleni and Xii
sura was imminent. British forces in
Libya trapped an Italian rear guard
force in Bardia by bombarding from
the air the only way out-the road to
Tobruk. More than 10000 Italian pris-
oners have been taken in North Afri-
ca Churchill told the British of the
supreme danger of invasion, saying
Hitler must act now or within the next
two months. London had a brief raid.
British carried out heavy bombing at
tacks on Mannheim in an effort to
smash Axis communications and also
slow aid to Italy.
SATURDAY-Liverpool and other
parts Of England withstood heavy air
attacks from the Nazis. In Albania
bayonet charging Greeks were forcing
Italians out of the mountains. Bombs
were dropped in Ireland, presumably
from Nazi planes. Germans were
aroused over the plans of the U. S. to
help England. In Africa Bardia was
surrounded by the British.
SUNDAY Berlin spokes m a n
warned Americans that any releasing
of Axis ships to England would be
regarded as warlike act. Defense COM
mission said no appeasement was
possible on production of means of
defense. British troops, warships and
airplanes continued to blast Italians
in Africa. Greeks continued pressure
on Italians. British filters bombed
points in Italy and in Ruhr valley and
channel ports. France was reported
to have informed German authorities
it would not make cabinet changes
demanded by Germans.
MONDAY - Reinforcements were

of men between 81 and SO.
It's operation would, it is said, be
less likely to disturb the economic
balance and democratic traditions Of
the country. Fewer men would be sep
arated from budding careers on ac-
count of the compulsory military ser
vice if they were taken at 81, since
not many of that age are established
in trades, professions or business.
A higher percentage of traineeS
aged q would qualify for military SER
vice than under the present spread;
not only fewer reflections for physl-
cal unftness but the number placed IN
deferred classes on account of de-
tendency and vocations would be very
much smaller.
The census bureau estimates that
100000 Americans will reach the
age of q during the next year.
AS European countries handle the
system, men are called up for train
ing when they reach a certain age and
are designated as the class" of that
year. 1t has been in operation in many
countries for a number of years and
some army officers and members of
Congress say it is superior in various
respects to the plan this Government,
adopted a few months ago.

share of the funds for use in carrying
out approved soil-building practices
and offers farmers the opportunity
to carry out more compromising
conservation program.
The rates for computing oil-build-
ing practices during 1871 are as fol-
lows: cropland in excess of special
allotments per acre, 70 cents; COM
mercial orchards, per acre, $3.50;
non-crop pasture land, per acre, 25
cents.
Annual appropriation
As in previous years the payments
are contingent upon the $5OO,OOO,0O0
annual appropriation authorized in
the Agricultural Adjustment Act for
1888, and the rates are subject to re-
vision upward or downward by 10 per
cent as an adjustment for participa-
ton when final payments are made
The rates Of payment offered for
compliance with some of the special
acreage allotments are lower for 1871
because of the larger part of total
funds available for conservation prac-
tees; increase in funds for crops
which have smaller acreage allot-
ments this year; higher participation;
and increased yields in the case of
some crops, such as cotton. The goal
for all soil-depleting crops is I'M
changed from 27O,OOO,OO0 acres to
285, 100000 acres established for 1910.

The German Fuehrer also visited
the Eiffel Tower. He stood appar-

ful lines and the superb view of
the banks of the Seire.
A smile of satisfaction crept ever
his face as he saw the Nazi swastika
f1uttering in the breeze nigh atop
the tower.
Then Hitler hurried on to the
beautiful Madeleine Church.
Sees French War Trophies.
He also spent considerable time.

OF war trophies. tThis apparently
meant the Cour d'Honneur and the
Musee de L'Armee, in the Hotel
des Invalides at the rear of Napo-
Icons tomb.)
What other spots in the French
capital were visited by Hitler the
informant didn't know, but he took
1t for granted he went to the Louvre
and the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
He deduced this from the fact
that Hitler and Gen. Wilhelm Keitel,
his chief of staff, were accompanied
by German professors of art and
architecture rather than military
men.

BERLIN, June 26.-Adolf Hitler
paid an extended incognito visit to
Paris yesterday and visited the tomb
of Napoleon, highly reliable source
said today Hitler is known to ad-
mire greatly the French emperor.
While foreign correspondents who
visited the Hotel des Invalides in
Paris last week found the famous
Corsican's tomb still covered with
sandbags, all these had been re-
moved by yesterday for Hitler's visit,
the informant said.
Hitler wore a light brown duster
over his uniform as he entered the
Hotel des Invalides. Apparently
moved, he stood for while in the
big rotunda whence one gazes down
at the tomb, then walked to the
memorial tablet on which Napoleon
is quoted as follows:
II desire that my ashes rest at
the banks of the Seine among the
French people whom / loved so
dearly"
Both as he arrived and Us he left
German guards standing before the
gates presented arms where French
guards used to stand.

Reich Opens Strong Drive
For Argentine Trade
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES. June 26-Ger-
many already has opened a strong
''trade offensive" in Lower South
America designed to swing such ma
tions as Argentina and Uruguay
away from close economic and mill
tary cooperation with the United
States, well-informed source said
today.
Agents of the Nazi government
have established contact with Ar
+ gentine officials, bringing full au-
thority from the Reich to negotiate
gigantic barter deals, this informant
asserted.
These agents are reported to be
offering to purchase millions of
pesos worth of Argentine foods and
raw products, making payments
through projects such as the electri-
fication of Argentine state railways
and the construction of various
hydroelectrlc plants to offset the
dwindling supplies of coal and oils
in this country.
German agents have even gone
so far as to discuss the probabilities
of available shipping space to move
the purchases to Germany, 1t was
said.
