FinlaysonPair
Wed Sixty Years
Parted By Death
William Ston, 83, Called
To Rest Last Thursday;
Funeral Sunday.

William F. Stoll, one of Finlayson's
oldest residents, and an old-time set
tier there, passed away last Thursday
at the age of SO, following a weeks
illness. He had been ailing for some
time and the immediate cause of
death was myocarditis and arterio-
sclerosis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoll were two of
Finlayson's pioneer settlers, coming
there in 1892 and 1894 respectively.
They were born and reared on the
German island of Rugen in the Baltic
sea, and were married there on No
vember 80, 1879. Mr.. Stoll came to
this country and homesteaded Ia
miles east of Finlayson, his wife and
daughter joining him later. They had
made the farm their home ever since.
Employed in Sawmill.
For a time Mr.. Stoll was employed
at the sawmill in Rutledge and cleared
land in his spare time. They had
a garden plot and potato patch cleared
and were getting nicely started when
the Hinckley fire in the fall of 1894
swept through and they lost every
thing, including valuable keepsakes
that had been brought along from
Germany. However, they were not
discouraged and Immediately set to
work to rebuild and up to few years
ago, took care of all the work them
selves. Friends and neighbors helped
them celebrate their Goth wedding
anniversary early last winter.
A daughter, Mrs. Bertha Lundgren
of Sandstone, was the only child born
to this union. There are three grand
children, William Lundgren of Sand
stone, Ruth Lundgren, teaching at
Littlefork; and Mrs. Harry Cain of
Des Moines, Iowa, and great-grand-
son, Walter Cain.
Services Sunday.
Services were held Sunday after
noon at 80 o'clock from Hills Chapel
and at p. m. from the Peace Luther
an church of which the deceased was
a member. Rev. H. Sporleder was
in charge at the last rites. The pail
bearers were Henry Darsow, John
Petry, Otto Petry, Theo. Stockamp,
Ben Stockamp, and Andrew Pajala.
Burial was made in the Peace Luther
an cemetery. Among those who at
tended the funeral were many Sand
stone friends of Mrs. Lundgren as
we'll as number of her co-workers
in Klein's Department Store in Sand
stone.
Mrs. Stoll will make her home with
Mrs. Sophia Scheeler at Pine Lake.
Mrs. Scheeler had cared for the aged
couple during illnesses the past year
and was with them when Mr.. Stoll
died.
A wide circle of friends and neigh
bors extend sympathy to the be-
reaved family.

NewPaint Toad
In Night Driving
Will Reduce Traffic Haz-
ards On Congested State
Highways.

A new luminous, beaded paint will
be used on Minnesota's highways in
an effort to reduce night driving
hazards on congested highways, &C
cording to an announcement issued
this week by the State Highway de-
partment. The department has con-
tracted for the application of the
paint on approximately 100 miles
of traffic hazards driving channels
and four-lane traffic separation strips.
First Stretch on 81.
The first stretch to be taken care
of will be on highway 81, between
Two Harbors and Carlton, section
of road with approximately 20 miles
of hazards requiring marking and
which is frequently subjected to
heavy fogs.
The statewide contract will result
in wildly marking for the convent
ence and safety of night traffic, GLIB
hazards, % miles of center-line strips
and 312 miles of traffic channel mark
ings at intersections. It will require
$500 gallons of the new beaded paint.
The low-bid price obtained is $4.61
a gallon applied to the road surfaces.
Special Equipment Needed.
Application of the new paint re-
quires special equipment which the
Department of Highways does not
possess. The process requires ap-
proximately 16 gallons of paint and
pounds of beads per mile.
The hazards will be marked with
uniform yellow and the center-lines
and channelized traffic lanes will be
marked with white.
The contract calls for an immediate
start and continuation of the work
as long as weather permits. Work
which cannot be finished this fall
will be completed as early as possible
next spring.
The new luminous paint will be
applied to both concrete and bitumi-
nous surfaces on the more heavily
! Travelled roads. Center separation
markings on four-lane highways will
be chiefly restricted to the vicinity
of the Twin Cities and Duluth.

Din, Your Lights
Or Face Arrest!

Orders have been issued to all
state highway patrolmen for an
aggressive campaign of arrests
against night drivers who fail or
refuse to dim their headlights
when meeting approaching cars.
The order, given by Eldon
Rowe, chief of the highway pa
troll, has been promoted by nu-
merous complaints of violations
of this law recently, and the fact
tn a several serious accidents
have been attributed to failure
of motorists to comply with it.

gas tax and formation of county
unit of the Northwest Good Roads
Association.
Committee Appointed.
At the close of the meeting mo-

the chairman appoint an organization
committee. Mr.. Pearson then ap-

38 states having a &c gas tax and
Minnesota was the only one to cut

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

It does begin to look as though
Europe's two master dictators are de-
sirous of directing attention away
from their war with Great Britain
and center their interest on a part
of the Old World which has always
been fertile soil for international
trouble, namely, the Balkan penin-
sula.
But by doing that they hope
to weaken and undermine the
British empire at vulnerable
spot like the Suez Canal. And no
doubt the events now happening
in the Balkan states are to some
extent the result of Hitler's and
MussOlini's most recent confer
ence at the Bremen Pass.
The march of German soldiers into
Rumania the other day has now been
followed by what is virtually an
occupation; Hitler's men have taken
possession of Bucharest, the city's
hotels, restaurants and other build
ings and businesses, and also are dis
playing their swastika flag as openly
and freely as though they were in
their own homeland.
Officially, what is happening in
Rumania is not described as occupa-
tion-no, subtler word, penetration,
is used. In practice, it seems to mean
the same thing, however.
Turkish Determination.
Under the circumstances there is
a possibility that the Germans will
march into Turkey, but at Ankara
it is said that the Turkish govern
ment is fully determined to keep
Germany out and that two million
sharp and glistening bayonets are
ready to stop any further German
move toward the east.
In Greece fears are entertained
that Hitler may attack that coun-
try, too, or try to penetrate" it,
and in that case it seems prob
able that Turkey will help its
smaller neighbor and-enemy of
years ago.
Rumors early this week were tc

marched into Bulgaria at severa.

of the Continent.
And Russia?
The attitude of Soviet Russia tow
ard German acts on the Balkan pen
insula is still underlined, but there
are indications that Stain is look
ing with considerable misgiving at
the Hitler manipulations.
In case Germany obtains COM
plete control of the Balkans, Rus
STA will have the German Reich
as its immediate neighbor all the
way from the Baltic to the
Aegean sea, and Moscow evil
IDENTIFY is not elated at this pros
pect. On the other hand, there
is still the treaty friendship be-
tween Germany and Russia, and
so far, it is intact. How long it
will last-that's question.
Involved in the diplomatic and mill
tary affairs of the Balkans is also
the question of the Black Sea which
Russia has been wont to consider
its own special sphere of interest.
Now German soldiers are camped on
the Rumanian shore of that body of
Water-and Russian soldiers are lin
ing up along the Russo-Rumanian
frontier.
There still remains the possibility
that Germany and Russia may be-
come military partners. But there
is also the possibility that sooner or
later the Soviets may join hands with
Great Britain.
The War of Bombs.
Meanwhile, the bombing war be-
tween Germany and Great Britain
proceeds steadily but, it would seem
at times, bit less violently than
heretofore. Lately, the British have
been more active than the Germans,
and they are reported to have caused
lot of damage to the German po-
sitions on the northern coast of
France.
There is still nothing which
definitely shows that Hitler plans
to march into England this fall,
and one major reason is the fact
that the British have been put

he and his generals had fOreseen.
