EIGHT Men On Trial
For Opposing Draft

Trial opened in Federal court in
Duluth yesterday for eight Pine coun-
ty farmers charged with refusing to
register for the draft and opposing
the selective service act.
The men are Paul Marquardt, a
farmer in the southern part of the
county, who is accused of counsel
ing his sons and other relatives to
evade the registration October L.;
three sons, Karl, Robert and George;
Arnold Patzoldt, a son-in-law, Elmer
Patzoldt, brother to Arnold, Delford
Chaplin and Archie Soderbeck. The
latter is from Hinckley. George Mar
quardt was village marshal at Hen
riette, but resigned several days ago,
and the others live in the Pine City
vicinity.
Religious opposition to war and
the preparedness program was the
reason given by the men for refus-
ing to comply with the selective draft
law.

Fifty-three Arrested
For Law Violation

Fifty-three Minnesota motorists
were arrested during October and No
vember by the State Highway patrol
for failure to dim their headlights
when meeting oncoming cars, accord
ing to Chief Eldon Rowe. In adj
dition Is written and 116 oral warn
ings were issued to offenders in in
stances where arrests were deemed
not necessary.
Chief Rowe said that strict adj
herence to the law requiring the
dimming or depressing of lights when
meeting oncoming motorists at night
is especially necessary during this
time of year, when most motorists
are still unaccustomed to the in
creased difficulties which wi n t e
brings in it's wake. Meeting car
with glazing headlights adds to the
motorists confusion by temporarily
binding him and often results in &C
cident.
For increased visibility when driv-
ing at night when snow is falling or
blowing, Chief Rowe suggests that
motorists use the Flower" or ode
pressed" beam. This beam concen-
trates the light on a smaller, more
confined road area.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Although Bulgaria, as reported here,
last week refused to enter the Axis
power alliance-th of Germany
Italy, Japan, Hungary, Slovakia and
Rumania-word came early this week
that the Sofia government had re-
considered the matter and was plan
ming to send representative to Ber-
lin to sign the treaty. How true or
definite the report was, could not
be learned, but linked in with it was
rumor that Yugo-Slavia also had
decided to join the group.
If it turns out to be correct, it
will mean that Hitler's army will
obtain free and unobstructed pas
sage through the Balkan pen
insula for the purpose of support
ing MusSOlini in his war against
the Greeks. AS yet, however,
confirmation has to be awaited.
1t is a report of the kind that the
English habitually characterize as Gin
teresting-if true"
War in Albania.
In the meantime, the Greek armies
continue their victorious war against
the Italians. Mussolini's soldiers al
ready have been driven out of Greece
and now are being harassed in AL
bania-Italian territory-in spite of
the fact that reinforcements are said
to have arrived from Rome. So far,
they have not slowed up the Greek
campaign.
But in Athens no one is blind to the
danger that Italy may ultimately win
because of the possibility that German
troops may arrive and turn the tide
of battle. British filters are aiding
the Greeks-to an unknown extent
but, otherwise the tiny Hellenic ma
ton bears the brunt of battle alone.

Skilled Orderly
Dies In Superior

Funeral services were held We'd
nesday morning, November 81, $50
o'clock at st. Francis hospital in Su-
perior and at o'clock from st. Fran
els Xavier Catholic church for An
drew Henhapl, formerly of Norman
township, but of late an orderly in
St. Francis hospital. Rev. Salvador
Wegener officiated and the body was
laid to rest in st. Francis cemetery.
Mr. Henhapl came to America in
1882 at the age of Is. He farmed
for time in the Bruno vicinity but
at the age of 81 became general ham
dy man orderly and engineer at St.
Mary's hospital in the Twin Ports. He
later transferred his abilities to St.
Francis hospital and had been there
since.
His skill in making or re-arranging
hospital facilities soon was recognized
and he was called upon on many
occasions to assist in emergencies.
He did not need any help or instruc-
lions to build necessary equipment
and his assistance at many operations
was called invaluable. In later years
he served chiefly as engineer but
was called upon now and then to pro-
duce some needed piece of work.
He was a quiet unassuming man
and was known to hundreds of pa
tients and doctors and other members
of the hospital staff. He was mem
Der of the Third Order of ST. Fran
els and st. Francis Xavier Catholic
church. There are no known sur
vivors but hundreds of friends and
associates will mourn the passing of
this kindly man.

.Hy dro Electric
Project In East
Pine Is Visioned
Meeting at Centuria, Wis,
December 10 to Discuss
Possibilities.

A meeting of considerable impor-
lance will be held in Centuria, Wis,
on December Is, 1910, at 10 a. m, to
discuss the possible development of a
Kettle river hydro electric project.
Pine City and the territory east of
this village would be considerably
affected as the project, if it goes
through, will consist of the construc-
ton of dam, located on the ST.
Croix river, about IL miles northeast
of Pine City, at point where the
Kettle river empties into the st.
CroiX.
Area Not Developed.
This area has for years been more
or less of a wilderness, or hunters
paradise, as much of the land is stony
and swampy, and, being a con-
siderable distance from railroad,
has not developed agriculturally.
However, students of conservation
have come to the conclusion that
this area offers splendid opportuni-
ty for the development of hydro
electric project, as well as providing
for water conservation, flood con-
troll, and recreational facilities.
Already much of this land has re-
verified to the state for non-payment
of taxes, and could be obtained at a
nominal figure by the Federal gov
eminent, or governmental agency.
Will Submit Report.
On October 80, 1910, a meeting was
held at Grantsburg, to discuss ways
and means of developing a Kettle
river hydro electric project. At this
meeting, an investigating committee
was appointed to further study the
possibilities, and to report at later
meeting of interested organizations
and municipalities. The committee,
after thorough investigation is ready
to submit report at the mass meet
ing to be held at Centuria.
Several investigations have been
made during the past year, by United
States army engineers, and also by
the Minnesota State Planning board
and similar boards in the state of Wis
consin, regarding the feasibility of
this project.
Village councils, Commercial clubs,
and similar organizations are re-
quested to send delegates to the meet
ing on December 16

J o h n Ferguson, Kerrick
Youth, Takes Part in Ex-

A Kerrick youth, John Ferguson,
was honored recently by being elected
vice president of the Y. M. c. A. at
the School of Agriculture, University
Farm, St. Paul. He is member of
the intermediate class and is taking
the college preparatory course of
study while in attendance at the Ag
school. He is also vice president of
the Ski-U-Nah Literary, secretary
treasurer of Dexter Hall, and a men,
Der of the All and Rural Youth club.
Since the School of Agriculture is
a great leadership training school in
which students are trained to take
part in community affairs, much en-
phasis is given to well-planned and
well-organized eXtra-curricular &C.
Invites n d r faculty supervision.
Through these activities the stu
dents learn to participate and take
their part in community affairs and
activities.
Training Important.
1t has long been recognized that
training IN farming is just as i'm
portant as training in any other field;
however, along with the training, it
is necessary that the potential farmer
also develop traits of leadership.
Extra-curricular activities aid a great
deal along that line and tend to sup
plement the actual training in agri-
cultural courses. The students of
the School of Agriculture have this
opportunity of learning to get along
together.
The School of Agriculture is in its
fifty-second year in training rural
young men and women. The winter
term opens this year on Monday,
January 6, 1941, at which time it is
possible for any young person from
the farm, who is at least II years
of age, to enroll. Either an eighth
grade graduate or high school
graduate is eligible to attend.

the time had come for bloody re-

that they were quietly executed
