Use Care When
Handling Injured

A news report coming from
Austin recently tells how one
youth was saved from possible
permanent injury or even death.
He had been seriously hurt in a
car-motorcycle crash near that
city and patrolman, who was
on the job early, refused to let
him be moved until an ambulance
arrived.
The attending p by S i i n, in
praising the officers action, stated
that he did exactly the correct
thing by letting the youth lie on
the pavement until medical help
arrived.
The Austin. physician pointed
out that aside from first aid to
stop hemorrhage and keeping a
victim as warm and comfortable
as possible, unskilled handling
and haste to load the injured
into cars more often than not re-
suits in more severe injuries and
sometimes unnecessary death.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Hitler and Mussolini have met
again-and once more at the Bren-
ner Pass on the frontier between
Germany and Italy; for three hours
they sat in the dining car of Signor
Mussolini's armed train and said
lot; spoke thousands upon thousands
of words. Yet, not one syllable has
been reported: There were no micro
phones, no newspapermen around;
there was only that iron curtain of
silence which means that what two
dictators discuss, is no business of
the outside world-in spite of the
fact that little later that very same
outside world has to pay with lives
and money for those conversations.
But considering what is known
about events preceding the Bren-
ner Pass talks, it is fair and ir-
resistible to assume that if Hit
Ter had had the slightest hope of
cOnquering Great Britain now,
there would hardly have been a
conference betw n him and
MussOlini. The conversation &C
tually conceded the failure of
Hitler to carry out his plans
against the British Isles.
We don't know what the two
mighty dictators talked about, but so
Enthusiastically queer have world con-
ditions become that these, otherwise
rather insignificant, men could sit
at table, facing one another, and
make decisions affecting the life and
the fate of millions.
Roumanian Coup.
It is possible that the Balkan sit
uation was under discussion at the
Bremen Pass, for a few days after
the return of Hitler to Berlin and
Mussolini to Rome, German soldiers
marched into Roumania for the os-
tensible purpose of protecting" that
country's oil fields against supposed
British attempt to destroy them.
That sounds almost as nice as
did the assurance half year ago
that Germany invaded Norway in
order to protect it against the
British.
The realistic fact appears, how
ever, to be that Germany invaded
Roumania to make sure that Hitler

Arthyde Woman
Is Laid To Rest
In Willow River
Funeral Services Held Yes
terd a y Afternoon For
Mrs. HI. S. Wood.

Funeral services were held yester-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the
Presbyterian church at Willow River
for Mrs. Harry Wood, 81, of Arthyde.
Rev. E. j. Murdach of the Moose Lake
Methodist church officiated and burial
was made in the cemetery at Willow
River.
Mrs. Wood died in the University
hospital Friday evening following
brief illness, the cause of death being
given as abscess of the brain. She
had been ailing only about two weeks.
Born in Minnesota.
She was born in Hutchinson, this
state, on September q, 1886 and
while still young, moved with her
family to Alexandria, where she re-
ceived her education. On January
q, 1912 she was married in Minnea-
polls to Harry S. Wood, the two NOV
ing shortly afterwards to Arthyde
where they have since made their
home.
Besides the husband, those sur
viving Mrs. Wood are brother, Ray
mond Reynolds of Gull Lake, Sa-
skatchewan, Canada, her stepfather,
j. A. Bailey, and half-brother,
Harry Bailey, both of Alexandria.
Others left to mourn are four chill
dren whom Mr.. and Mrs. Wood have
raised. They are Mrs. Louis Krouse
of Duluth, Egon, Geraldine and Doug
las Brown, all at the Wood home in
Arthyde.
Had Been Nurse.
Mrs. Wood was a nurse and had
served in the Gean Brown Home in
St. Paul for two years. She was
also licensed midwife and in this
capacity had also served the COM
munity in and around Arthyde.
Those who carried the body to its
last resting place were Edward Halva,
Wallace Ogilvie, Adolph Ova, Thorn
as Adams, j. O. Emmer and Art
Maunula. Songs were rendered by
Mrs. Wesley Hamlin, accompanied by
Mrs. E. j. Murdach. Friends and
neighbors extend sympathy to the
bereaved family in it's hour of sad
ness.

would get monopoly of the Rou-
manian oil resources for his own use.
There was no reported resistance to
this latest invasion, for ever since
King Carol was forced to flee, the
Bucharest government has been out
spokenly nazi and fascist, and so-as
far as can be judged from this dis
tance-must have helped prepare the
way for the Germans.
Next Step.
In furt h er connection with the
Bremen Pass conference there are
only conjectures since not a single
definite fact has been permitted to
be published.
Plausible it is to suppose that
Hitler and MussOlini were wor-
ried about their campaign against
the British empire; it hadn't been
so hot. Hitler-wh O had
planned to be in London two
months ago-is still not there,
and Mussolini who had made up
his mind to crush British power
in Northern Africa, has not yet
succeeded in doing so.
Under these circumstances, it is
natural to assume that Adolf and
Benito mapped out a joint campaign
against that battling and battling foe
of theirs.
Joint Steps.
There are no facts from which to
proceed, but there are, of course, OBJ
servers who may draw safe conclu-
sions from meager information, and
the gist of their studies is that Hitler
may, for the time being, abandon his
attempt to land troops in England,
and that he, together with Musso-
lini, may try to weaken the enemy
elsewhere, first of all by bottling up
the Mediterranean at the Suez Canal
and at Gibraltar.
When that job has been done-if
it can be done-then Germany and
Italy will join forces against the
British Isles themselves and, ulti-
mately, do away with the mightiest
empire on earth. That does seem to
be the plan.
All known facts point in ex-
actly that directi0n-even though

FL. Association
Hears Williams
And Halvorson
Candidates For Lieutenant
Governor And Treasurer
Speak Here Tuesday.

Speaking before mass meeting OF
the Pine County Farmer-Labor As
ISOLATION Tuesday night at the Hotel
Madison casino, Howard Y. Williams,
Farmer-Labor candidate for ieuten-
ant governor, in discussing the presi-
dental candidates, stated that "the
election of Wendell Willkie would be
the greatest mistake made by the
American people since we entered
the World war;.
He went on to say that President
Roosevelt has broken ground for a
more just society and that the only
chance to forge ahead would be with
the present administration. "Our
greatest need in America today" he
said, els to make democracy work in
giving full employment. At the mo-
ment we must choose between ap-
peasement of the dictators and full
employment through total defense.
The latter is the lesser of two evils"
Condemns Administration.
Concerning state politics Williams
condemned the present governor for
his support of Willkie, for supporting
the SO per cent small loan law, the
homestead lien law, and for cutting
in half the national bank tax. He
said that the lien law was making
the aged in Minnesota the objects of
charity when the New Deal insisted
that pensions were but justice.
"War veterans" said Williams, "are
not forgetting what crimes Governor
Stassen has committed against them.
He reduced the budget of the Division
of Soldier Welfare in half, thus cur
failing the valuable services to dis
abled war veterans and their de-
pendents, depriving these veterans of
thousands of dollars of benefits from
the Federal government because of
the lack of capable staff"
Former Treasurer Speaks.
c. A. Halvorson, former state treas
urer, and legislator and candidate
for state treasurer on the Farmer
Labor ticket was also on the speak
ing program. He pointed out inef-
ficiency existing under the admin
stration of his predecessor and sue
cessor, Julius Schmahl. He said that
in accordance with state law all state
funds deposited in banks must be
covered by collateral and 10 per
cent margin, and that when he (Hal-
vorson) became state treasurer seven
or eight million dollars in state funds
were on deposit without collateral
or margin. This was taken care of
before Halvorson left office.
The speaker said that in the "a
years he has served the state Schmahl
has received approximately 100000
in salary. During his two years alb
sence, he received $3.50 per month
from the retirement fund, but no
lien was placed on his property as he
and his group recommend should be
done with the old age pensioners.
Halvorson, in commenting on the re-
organization act said that a bill so
sweeping should have required two
sessions of the legislature instead of
one afternoon.
Going on to the highway depart
ment, the candidate said that in spite
of the fact that the department has
had more money to spend from gas
tax and license fees, the highways
have deprecated and in 1889 con-
struction practically ceased.

There's a Good Reason
You're Constipated!

When there's something wrong
with you, the first rule is: get at
the cause. If you are constipated,
don't endure it first and "cuTe" it
afterward. Find out what's giving
you the trouble.
Chances are it's simple If you
eat the super-refined foods most
people do: meat, white bread,
potatoes. It's likely yoN don't get
enough "bulE." And "bulk" doesn't
mean a lot of food. It's a kind of
food that isn't consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft ''bulky"
mass in the intestines and helps
a bowel movement.
If this is your trouble, you
should eat a natural ''bulk" pro-
ducing food-such a one as the
crunchy, toasted, ready to eat
cereal, Kellogg's All-Bran. Eat it
often, drink plenty of water, and
"Join the Regulars" All-Bran is
made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek.
II your condition is chronic, it is
wise to consult a physician.
