Start of the Village.
The town of Willow River was soon
plated and houses went up rapidly.
Business places flourished as the mill
brought money to everyone. For
many years these boys worked in the
woods in the winter and at the mill
in the summer. AS soon as the ice
opened on Willow lake, the water
carried these logs down the river to
the mill, where they were made into
lumber.
Mr.. Waletzko worked as trimmer
at the mill with Stanley Zigmont and
others. Some of the other lumber
jacks" who still live in the COM
munity are Ed Clough, Daniel Dris-
coll, Chris Sexton, Frank Laughen-
berg, Ben Heintz, John Lundgren and
others.
Rear Fine Family.
Mr.. and Mrs Waletzko reared a
family of six boys and one girl. He
had land enough for all the boys to
get started in farming and they all
live east of here except Stanley who
resides at Strubville, N. D., where
he has the rural mail route He is
married and has one son. The other
boys are married. Chester drives the
school bus for the Willow River school
on the east route, and is the father
of three children. Jacob has five chill
dren; Julius, the boss on the home
place, has one boy; Thomas, father
of three children, also lives on the
home place; John has land between
the two Forsyth farms, and has one

The Court is not required by law

the statute against carrying con-

often attended with such tragic con-
sequences that it should not be ig-

Legislature has imposed severe penal
ties for its violation by providing for a
fine of not more than one thousand
dollars or Imprisonment in the Jail or

two years.

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Frank Discussions
OF Syphilis Facts
Tells Of Fight Against
Disease at Luncheon
Of 18th Club

Mrs. Roosevelt yesterday urged
the country to deal with the facts
of syphilis straight out" instead of
hedging prudishly on the question
of how to eradicate this disease.
She spoke before the annual lunch.
con of the Seventy Fifth Club at
the Washington Hotel, where she
said:
Sometimes I think all of us are
inclined to gloss over things and use
pretty words instead Of those which
express our meaning. To deal with
things straight out. If they can be
remedied, is morally less harmful
than veiled illusions.
I'VE do know there is a cure.
What we don't know is the extent
of the facilities for treatment in
each community"
The Presidents wife said she had
been requested to discuss the
syphilis problem. She said the pub
lie clinics in the District are too
crowded to care for all needs, and
urged support for the proposed ST.
600 900 program which has a three
fold purpose:
l. Provide facilities for all regard
less of ability to pay.
2. Make possible program Of
search for those afflicted.
3. Finance an educational pro-
gram for the need OF care.
The program would be national
in its scope.

Roosevelt spoke is composed OF the

Andres Notable Figure
In Early Boston History

Sir Edmund Andres, who was born
on the island Of Guernsey, IN the
Channel islands, on December 6,
1857, and who died in London in
February, TIA, left his marks on
American history. As a friend of
the duke of York, brother of the
king, went to New York as COVER
nor IN 1914, remaining there until
1881, writes correspondent to the
Detroit News. Five years later he
returned to the Colonies, to carry out
James IFS idea of consolidating the
New England colonies into one royal
province
When they heard of the landing
of William of Orange In England IN
1859, the people of Boston rose and
seized the royal officers, including
Andres himself. He was returned to
England for trial but acquitted, and
In 1892 was appointed governor of
Virginia, where for five years he
had considerable success. From
1704 to 1706 he was ieutenant-gov-
ernor of Guernsey. 1.-The Dictionary
of American Biography" says that
Though not popular with advocates
of democratic government, neverthe-
less, he was one of the ablest Eng
Ish colonial governors of the Seven
teenth century" He was essentially
a soldier, and where soldierly quail
tiles were needed his rule was ex-
cellent; but he lacked understand
ing of business affairs and of Puri
tan psychology.
