Mrs. Elmer M. Eaton

Wednesday, October 8, 4 p. m.
marked the passing OF a pioneer
woman of Minnesota, Mrs. Elmer M.
Eaton, at the age of "a years, two
months and six days. She had been
a sufferer with diabetes and was at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. E.
Wood, near Willow River, and in her
care for the past year and half.
Emma E. Swisher was born Aug
ust 2, 1867, at Danville, ILL.,, and came
to Eden Valley, Mimi, with her par
ents when child. At the age of II
she was married to Elmer M. Eaton Of
Kimball, and resided there until
1898, when they moved to O'Neill,
Nebr., where they lived short time.
In 1900 they came to Willow River
and moved onto a farm 71z miles
southeast of the village, which they
cleared out of the wilderness. Only
three other settlers lived there at
the time. Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton helped
to build the school there which still
is called by their name. Mrs. Eaton
was a devoted wife and mother, iv-
ing to make life less difficult for
others. She was a member of the
Christian church of Kimball.
Six sturdy children bless this union,
namely Tin the order of their ages),
Orrin c. of Kimball, who for many
years operated the home farm; Lewis

D.; Gertie, Mrs. A. E. Wood, of Willow

mother in death 33 years ago when
about two years old. Besides the
children Mrs. Eaton leaves her hus-
band, one brother, Geo. D. Swisher,
of Telkwa, B. c., Canada, 20 grand
children and II great-grandchildren.
Mr.. Eaton and all the children ex-
cept Levi, were at her bedside when
she passed on; she had been in
diabetic coma for the past week or
more of her life.
A short funeral service was held at
the A. E. Wood home Friday forenoon
at $50 o'clock, Rev. John J.. Moedt
officiating. Mrs. E. M. Wilson and
Mrs. Elvera Wickstrom sang two du-
cts, 'The Old Rugged Cross" and
God will Take Care of YOU. The
remains were then taken to Kimball,
and services conducted there at the
Methodist church by Rev. Arthur
Hubbard at 2:30 o'clock that after
noon. The choir sang two hymns
The pallbearers were six of the de-
ceased grandsons, Merton, Richard

vey and Glenn Wood. Interment was
made in the family lot at Maine

HIGHLIGHTS in the ne,os

Berlin: Columbia Broadcasting
System resumed its broadcasts from
Berlin, although the Nazi govern
ment was told there would be no
change in the CHS policy. Ger
mans had halted the broadcasts in
protest over the way Elmer Davis
had commented on an interview
over the air with P. G.. Wodehouse,
British author informed and then re-
leased to do broadcasting.
London: Dramatic story of wing
walking" by an Raj. pilot over
the North sea after big Wellington
bomber had been set afre by a
Messerschmitt was told when the
smoking plane landed. The Ger
man, after his shots set the wing
afre, closed in to finish the British
plane, but the rear-gunner got him.
Then the navigator clambered out
on the wing, stuffed the cockpit COW
er into the blazing gasoline feed
pipe line, and clambered back to
safety. The pilot landed the ship
without crackup. She was badly
damaged, however.

SYRIA:
Points 4, S, 6

It was almost coincidental with
the hating of hostilities in Syria
that the press received any intima-
ton what the British terms would
be. There were some 10 points in
the British demand, and of these
Numbers 4, and were apparently
most Objectionable to Vichy.
It was quite obvious what Britain
was after in these points, which
had to do with the handling of both
native and French residents who
had borne arms in the campaign.
Now these points specified, in one
particular, that under the terms of
the peace all such persons were to
be given their choice of joining with
the Free French or going back to
France, in the case of French citi-
zens, or, in case of natives, joining
with the Free French or being dis
armed.
There was another point with re-
gard to the French navy in Syrian
waters, ordering that this be sur
rendered; but the French "beat the
gun" on this item, all the French
naval vessels, % of them, fleeing to
the harbor of Alexandretta, under
the Turkish flag, where they were
promptly informed.

ICELAND:
And Bases

The occupation of Iceland by U. S.
troops and sailors still was an issue
of highest import in Washington,
and Secretary Knox found himself
much in the center of investigation
and censure, as well as the recipient
of considerable approval, depending
on what quarter one turned to.
A hitherto almost silent cabinet
member, Postmaster General Walk
er, journeyed all the way to Butte,
Mont, right into Senator Wheeler's
bailiwick to deliver a radio address
sharply criticizing the stand of the
noninterventionists, of which Wheel
er was a forefront leader.
Walker declared that Wheeler and
his associates among the isolation
lists were talking Hitler's Ian
guage."
Meantime Secretary Stimson was
preparing to launch the COMPRESSION
al campaign in favor of the Rey-
nolds bill to amend the selective
service provision restricting the
service of the army to the Western
hemisphere, and there were indica-
tons that the length of service
change proposed also was going to
meet hard fight.
Some of the selective service Of
ficials themselves were being quot
ed as saying that they felt length
ening of the training period OF
draftees would be a breach of
faith"
Then came Wheeler's charge that
the navy already had done some
shooting" on the high seas, and
following the session of Secretary
Knox before the naval affairs COM
mittee there were published, but I'M
verified reports on both sides of
the picture.
Some senators, it was said, told
friends that it had been admitted
that some naval vessels had
dropped depth charges" while 9TH
er senators said that Secretary Knox
and Admiral Stark had made cate
gorical denial of the whole matter.
Then Senator Taft stepped into
the picture, saying that he had in
formation from sources he consid-
cred well informed that the United
States was already creating bases
in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
There were denials and partial
confirmation of this, one story pur-
porting to reveal that American
citizens were being paid 500 week
and subsistence by the British for
working on some sort of base In
Northern Ireland.
This work, however, was not iden-
tilted positively as the creation OF
an air, army or naval base.
The whole picture was further
confused when Britain announced
that instead of leaving Iceland now
that Americans were on the ground,
as the original plan had been, the
British tommies would stay.
This brought further repercus-
sions in Washington, some holding
that it would be menace to our
marines if they were on the same
island with British soldiers, as the
Nazis, bombing the British, might
kill marines at the same time.

Washington: Fifty-two D. c. mo-
florists were arrested, charged with
having smoky" exhausts on their
cars. It was the opening gun in a
campaign by Secretary Ickes, con-
troller of the oil situation, to con-
serve gasoline In the national cap
ital motorists were told that they
must have their cars adjusted, or
their licenses would be suspended as
an enforcement measure.
Rome: American consuls were
leaving Italy, but there was little
assurance as to when other Ameri-
cans, also under orders to leave
which were issued following the SIM
liar action in the United States,
would be able to get away.
London: Twelve American Red
Cross nurses left the U. S. to serve
at a hospital here. Two were lost
at sea when the ship was sunk, ten
were saved. OF the ten four decid-
ed to 60 back to the United States,
six to continue on and serve in the
hospital. The four said they had
suffered frozen feet.

| And Planes

Perhaps the most serious contro~
versy in commons over the Raj.
occurred when, at the height of the
heaviest bombing campaign under
taken by the British, the question
was raised as to whether all was well
with the plane supply.
The disappearance of Beaver
brook from the scene OF plane pro-
duction had been followed by Sc
rious criticism, and ono critic de-
clared that England had many
warehouses full of Grated American
planes, unusable because somebody
had omitted to purchase necessary
accessories.
The new chief of aircraft produc-
ton for Britain promised to remedy
the confusion which had existed,
but had little that he could answer
to accusations from members oil
parliament. two of whom had sctl-
ally fought through the Greek and
Cretan campaigns, that Britain had
sadly bungied in getting sirplaaes
into the proper spots where they
could have been used, perhaps, t.
have turned defeat into victory.
The new production head said that
steps were being perfected to
have all American bombers flown to
Englsnd in fighting condition.
The heaviest British bombing was
continuing. but was meeting with a
steadily stepped up German resist
snce. and German bombing Of Brit
ain also was showing somewhat
accelerated pace.
In fact. in mid-July the British air
ministry asserted that In actual ton
mage Of bombs dropped on Germany
and occupied points during June,
the hesviest assaults on England
since The war started had actually
been surpassed.
And tire tonnage to be dropped BY
the first Of August would be create

Valuable Seed Corn Is Thriving Despite Bad Weather

PITTSBURGH, PA. - A former
country pastor, who has spent most
OF his life studying the problems of
farmers and helping solve them, is
now professor of botany at the
Marynoll Preparatory college at
Clarks Summit, near Scranton, Pa.
He is the Rev. H. B. Mandelartz,
an energetic man who knows and
loves to work with plants, grains,
fruits, vegetables and flowers.
Warm winds and prolonged dry

cipal cities and most vital terri
tories on the fighting front, and con-
tinue to move backward, force the
enemy to spread out, and absorb
his power in their country's vast
ness.
Berlin claimed important breaches
of the Stain line at at least four
points, one near Leningrad; two in
the central portion of the line and
one at the south. In addition, as
serted the German communicates,
which resumed something of the
authoritative note that they had as
sumed during the Greek and Cretan
campaigns, the Russians defense on
the northern sector was generally
broken, and the fall of Leningrad
was deemed certainty.
AS to Kiev, the Nazi forces were
on the threshold of that important
Ukrainian city, and while Moscow
was still far distant from the NaZi
attack, the Germans claimed the
capture of Vitebsk, also its occupa-
ton, and this brought the invaders
line close to Smolensk, generally re-
garded as the gateway to Moscow.
What observers wondered chiefly
was how much the recent Stalling of
the German attack had been caused
by Russian resistance and how
much by the difficulty of long adj
vances over the terrain and the
roads the invaders were traversing.
The Russian reports were filled
with stories of immense German
losses, and these had been partial
ly, at least, verified from such
points as Stockholm and Berne. If
it was true that the stalling Of the
Blitzkrieg and the assumption Of the
offensive by the Russian forces had
been caused by determined Red re-
sistance, then there was reason to
think that it might be accomplished
again.
The Russian reports spoke of re-
Inducements in astronomical fig
ures, one stating that 5000, 900 men
were moving to the front" Few
believed that Germany was equipped
to handle 100000 prisoners, let
alone defeat that number of soldiers
but then there was considerable
doubt whether the Reds actually had
anything like that number of men in
the field. i.
But if even a considerable part Of
such an army was maneuvering into
a position of resistance, observers
felt it was still too early to predict
a certain and smashing German
victory

PERU:
And Ecuador

Despite the fact that the century
old border dispute between Peru
and Ecuador hared into shooting vi
olence again even as the countries
were accepting mediation offers
from the United States, Brazil and
Argentina, it was generally believed
that the squabble would finally be
submitted to arbitration.
Official dispatches from Quito
seemed to show that the Ecuadori-
ans were willing to arbitrate the
difference, which covers consider
able area of land, most of it wild
and undeveloped by nationals Of
either nation.
Word came from Buenos Aires
that Peru also was willing to have
the subject mediated, and Sumner
Welles, acting secretary of state
during an illness of Secretary Hull,
suggested that in the interim both
countries move their armed forces
to a distance of Is miles from the
border, putting twice that distance
between them.

one and would, therefore, be insult
ed to the purpose for which it was
intended. The characteristics Of
the corn in each row were recorded
for future experiments.
Eventually the seed corn will be
available commercially. Since it is
particularly valuable it brings high
price and had Father Mandelartz
so desired he could have made
large sums for himself.
But he elected to join a mission
airy order and devote all the income
to help support its activities.

YOO.HOO:
And Army Life

This matter of soldiers "yoo-hoo-
ing" at girls in shorts on golf
course near Memphis, for which
they had to march on foot Is miles
in punishment was becoming an
army joke throughout the nation.
Soldiers in one camp judged a
fashion show, cheered the models
to the echo, and selected their ia
vorite daytime and evening gowns;
and in another camp the soldiers
challenged the punished troops to a
15-mile competitive hike just to show
that they could "take it, too.
Most amusing incident, however,
occurred at Olympia, Wash, where
hiking outfit, travelling past some
adniring young women, tied "mash
notes" to stones and tossed them
among the girls. And one of them
read:
Dear Miss: How lovely you are!
Won't you write to this lonely sol
der? Help the National Defense!"

with nothing to give clue to his

NAZIS:
RenetU Drive

The resistance of the Russians to

claim chief interest in the news,
with the issue still considerably in

though the Germans, having re-

considerable lull, were making i'm
portant gains.
Competent observers still felt the

ment Father Mandelartz succeeded
in raising a variety that would
thrive under adverse conditions. He
named it st. Joseph's corn.
At Clarks Summit last year he

might be short and weak, another
