In Northern Asia Europe and
America the species of Leucichthys
are many. All of the fish in this
genus are valued as food. They do
not hold first place as do the fishes
found in the true whitefish group
However, where these fish are
abundant they are important as
food fish.
We find the blackfin whitefish only
from Lake Michigan and Miltona
Lake, Mimi, in great numbers.
However. it has been caught in sew
eral small deepwaCer lakes in Min
nesota and Wisconsin. And there
have been reports from Lake Su-
perior that these fish have been
caught there. We find a difference
of opinion on this subject.
In the deeper waters of Lake
Michigan. vast numbers of them are
found. They may be seen travelling
in schools with the lake trout and
other deepwater neighbors.
In November and December. the
spawning season is on. This is also
the season of the year when the
common WhitefiSh spawn. From the
deep waters the spawning fish seem
to flow in endless number. They are
seeking the rocky bottom upon

in the markets. This is a large
size for the species and indeed
the blackfin is the larger of the
other ciScoeS.
There is little difficulty identifying
this WhiteflSh. 1t is a dark blush
above with silvery sides and dark
punctulations The fins are blue
black. The body is stout and COM
pressed. The eyes are large and
beautiful, the mouth small and filled
with feeble teeth.
In angling for the blackfin, the
fisherman soon realizes he is deal
ing with willy fish that will, if
gambling with its life for a tempt
ing bait, later put up brave fight
to regain freedom once more.

FAMILY CALLED IN
SERIOUS ILLNESS

Ed Minette, dangerously ill since
Monday at his home here, was de-
scribed as noting little change from
his serious condition, it was report
ed from the home Wednesday. Suf-
fering with pneumonia, his temper
ature had ranged up to 106 degrees
on Monday when members of the
family were called. His daughters,
Mrs. Reider Leveross (Marian), of
Superior, Wisconsin; and Helen, Of
st. Paul; and his sons. James, OF
st. Paul; Arthur, of Cutbank, Mon
tana, and Ray, Of Livingston, Mon

cite, Mrs. Pryor, and a brother, Al,
Of Cutbank, Montana, have also ar
rived at the home here. Only one
son, Paul, was unable to come.
With the U. s. Navy, stationed at
San Pedro, California, Paul had put
out to sea aboard the U. s. s.
Tennessee Monday morning. A re-
turn message by radio to the main

Urged For Chairman

An intra-party battle that may
remove it's leadership from the
state capitol for the first time in
years and place it in the hands of
the rank and file is confronting
Minnesota Republicans.
Focal point of the difference is
the state Craftsmanship, now held
by DR.. r. C. Radabaugh of Hast
ings, appointed in 1888 by Governor
Stassen.
A move to replace him with
William M. Parker of Sank Centre,
former state chairman, already is
under way.
Parker was state chairman from
1886 to 1888, appointed by Martin
A. Nelson of Austin, then candi-
date for Governor.
Selection of a state chairman this
year will be a different procedure
from former years. Under the
party's constitution, henceforth he
will be chosen at the biennial state
convention by delegates from the
81 counties.
Previously, the chairman, who
presides over the central commit
tee has been selected by the gov.
ernorship nominee. Other mem
beers of the committee have been
picked by the other nominees for
state and congressional offices.
Intra-party differences, some
concerned with Governor Stassen's
administration and others with
handling of party affairs during
the last Is months, are responsible
for the move to supplant DR.. Rada-
baugh. Indications were that I'M
less peace Is established between
the governor and factions opposed
to him, selection of a chairman
will be made without consulting
him.

1.-THE Headliners," a sensational
farm movie production, will be
shown in the Community Club
rooms on Saturday, January 20, at
1870 p. m, under the auspices of
the Farmers Cooperative Elevator,
said G. r. Enright, manager Of the

ment of the fair they come upon
a television studio on Midway.
There they see farm machinery of
the Minneapolis-Molin Co. in ac-
ton. This is something new and

Married At Fargo, N. D.,
Fifty Years Ago

Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Rien, of this
city, quietly celebrated their gold
en- wedding at their home, 21S Wal
nut Street, on Tuesday. Many of
their friends called during the day
to extend best wishes and gifts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rien were united
in marriage in Fargo on January
16, 1890, and they made their home
in this city ever since Mr.. Rien
was a resident of Sank Centre be-
fore that time.
One Of the highlights of the day
was the visit of their son, Earl,
Of Minneapolis, who came to help
them commemorate the event. A
year or so ago all of the children
were home and at that time cele-
brated the golden wedding.
Last Thursday evening, members
of the Rebekah Lodge, of this city,
gave a party for Mr.. and Mrs.
Rien in honor Of the fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary, and at the same
time honored Mrs. Paul Domke and
Mrs. Frank Pangburn, who had
birthday anniversaries.
After a social evening, lunch was
served, the feature of which was
a golden wedding cake trimmed
with golden festoons made Of for
get-me-nots and golden bells. Table
decorations were in gold in keep
ing with the event and the lodge
members extended best wishes to
their guests of the evening.

Rsna1 Telephone Seauice ID Mazenialy ReAen

The line has been completely re.
vamped from a ground, one wire
system, to a metallic, two wire sys-
tenn, facilitating service, it was an
nounced, on completion of the
work recently. 80 miles of wire
was strung by the farmer owners,
it was learned.
In a preliminary summary, Mr.
Forsyth pointed out that the av-
erage farm line in this section is
from rs to 35 years old. A decline
in farm line service has been noted
over those years, a gradual decline
in the past twenty that has been
scarcely perceptible. But there
was a need for improvement, he
pointed out.
Then in the summer of 1888 the
skeletal lines of the REA began
paralleling the telephone lines.
Grounded telephone lines, Mr.. For
syth pointed, are susceptible to pow
err induction (noise transmitted on
the telephone wires) when power
lines parallel them. In that sum-
mer farmer telephone service was
cracked wide open.

TaUo Hundred PEOPLE
Attended Art Exhibit
Paintings Worth $500
And Italian Matches
Made Of MacarOni Shown

Italian matches made from mac
aroni and paintings in Oil priced
as high as three hundred dollars
are some Of the oddities shown in
two exhibits at the Bryant Lib
rary this week that have attracted
interest.
Nearly two hundred had been
registered Tuesday at the lib
rary, Miss Bernice Finnegan,
librarian, announced, to view q
thirty piece collection of paint
ings, the work of Minnesota
artists. The group Is under
sponsorship locally of the Ora
datim Club.
Glasses in art at the public
school, under Miss Bernice Klobe's
had viewed the collec-
ton as background subject to their
courses. Dozens of individual view
ers had visited the library in the
two-day exhibit of the art work.
Tuesday afternoon Gradatim Club
members came as a group to see
the exhibit. Local artist Bob Dows-
well, graduate of the Minneapolis
School Of Art, lectured to the
group.
Oddly in a group of curios gath
cred from several corners of the
earth is a package of italian
matches, in which the sticks are
not of wood but of macaroni. It's
part of a display of things Miss
Finnegan herself has gathered and
placed on display this week.
The group, a part Of library's in
terest in the lobbyists of the com
munity, includes dog carved OF
teakwood, a picture Of the Laugh
ing Cavalier" from the museum
the Hague, Netherlands. A jade
bracelet in the collection has come
from Picking, China; silver neck
lace is a product of Mexican ar
tisans; a hand fooled leather purse
from Venice, Italy, is also one o.
the prizes of the collection.
While the art collection has beer
discontinued after a two-day show
ing, the hobby collection Of Mis-.
Finnegan's will remain for genera
interest the remainder of this week

the past year the west half Of the
line, not changed in the 1884 work,
was completed. The line serves 16
subscribers.
Out on the Melrose road a 7-cus-
toner line, line 10, has been COM
pletely revamped, with customer
statements enthusiastic about the
service.
First in the field was the south
line, in Pleasant Valley, line num-
Der 10, that was metallicized some
years ago. It serves subscribers.
Likewise the Bergman rural, to
three subscribers, has been under
improved service for some years.
The line is owned by the State
Home School.
Nearly all lines have made some
effort to eliminate their trouble"
Mr.. Forsyth said this week. Some
of them have made complete jobs
of 1t, others have eliminated the
seat of their present trouble by
moving lines and other temporary
measures.

action next Tuesday evening, jan

Of the two towns date back to a
day 80 years ago, when Sank
Centre stood in basketball's
swaddling clothes, and Melrose
drubbed them in the first game

5. Relations, 1t was explained,
have not been continuous how
ever.
Tuesday evening there will be
two games with first and second
string teams from each school
performing. The first game is at
700 and the main attraction at

nounced. There will be no advance
in the regular admission prices.
Consensus among sport follow
ers who have viewed the new
structure is that the SO by 46 foot
court is one of the best to watch
a game from in this section. With
nearly every thing in readiness,
work Of treating the floor remain
ed in mid-week, is being pushed
heavily it was announced from
