SanatOrium At
Pokegama Closed

After nearly 40 years of continuous
service in the treatment of tubercu-
lar diseases, the Pokegama Sanator-
ium near Pine City will close its doors
August l for the duration because of
the difficulty of obtaining qualified
personnel to continue operations.
Begun by DR.. H. Longstreet Tay-
lor and DR.. r. L. Wiseman in 1905,
the sanatorium, now being operated
by the H. Longstreet Taylor Founda-
ton, has become widely recognized
for its treatment of tuberculosis.
A new $4,000 hospital was COM
pleted in the spring of 1924, being
one of the finest equipped plants in
the country for tuberculosis patients.
Later one of the floors was used for
the treatment of general cases.
DR.. F. F. Callahan, resident doctor
in charge since 1919, resigned last
year to take charge as superintendent
of the state hospital at Walker.

Cafe At AskOv
In New Hands

Walters Cafe in Askov, which has
been operated since March l, 1941,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Becker, will
change hands next week, the new
owners being Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
Madsen of this village. Possession
will be given August l.
Mr. and Mrs. Madsen need no
introduction to the public here, hav-
ing spent most of their life in this
community Mr. Madsen has been
engaged as linotype operator in the
American Publishing Company plant,
where he started in 1929, and he has
been employed there since except for
short period when he was with
the Meeker County News at Litch-
field. For the time being at least
he will continue to assist with the
work at the American plant.
The plans of Mr.. and Mrs. Becker
are indefinite, but they will take a
vacation before locating elsewhere
Before coming to Askov their home
was in Minneapolis and they plan
eventually to return to that city. They
had purchased the cafe here from
Jens K. Hyldah1, previous owners
being Carl Dixen and Otto Madsen,
the latter a brother of the new pro-
prietor.

Increase Point
Value Of Butter

Attempting to bring consumer de-
mands into line with the available
supply the Office of Price Administra-
ton will raise the point cost of butter
from to 10, beginning August l.
Civilian consumption of butter has
exceeded ALLEGATIONS the past several
months, according to the OPA.
At the same time shortening, lard,
salad and cooking oils will be reduced
one point, the OPA predicting that the
higher point cost of butter will slim
ulate demand for the other fats and
oils.
Some changes have been made in
point values of some meats but none
were made in the more popular cuts
of beef. An increase of 10 per cent
in the civilian supply of beef may be
forthcoming, OPA officials said, this
increase being expected to offset a
decline in the pork supply.

'CeorgeE.S ausen
Named Direct
Bond Sales Here
Will Work Through New
ly Organized Minnesota
War Finance Committee.

The appointment of George E.

war bond sales in Pine county
through the newly-organiZed Mime
sofa War Finance committee, was
announced this week by o. J. Arm
old, president of the Northwestern

Appointment of A. E. Eddy, cashier

in correlating activities of the banks
with the county and local commit
tees, was also announced.
Takes Over Minnesota Work.
The War Finance committee has
taken over for Minnesota the work
formerly directed by the Federal
eserve Bank of Minneapolis
throughout the ninth federal reserve
district, which consolidated in one
organization the forces of the earlier
War Savings and Victory Fund COM
mittees. The Federal Reserve Bank
will continue making sales to banks,
insurance companies and government
bond dealers.
Responsibility has been placed
squarely on the Pine county organi-
cation to run its own show" Mr..
Sausen said this week in commenting
on the task ahead.
Must Sell More Bonds.
''It is acutely necessary that we
sell more bonds to more people. We
must divert a larger share of the in
come dollars of all citizens out of
spending channels where they COM
pete with vital war needs and tend to
drive the cost of living upward, into
the safe channels of the various types
of war bond investment.
Looking toward the Third War
Loan drive which begins September
9, our first task is to build and ex-
pand on the present county organi-
zation which has given such good
account of itself in earlier drives.
We will need every volunteer worker
who has already helped in this patri-
otto job, and many more"

New Salary Bill
For Pine County
Is Ruled Invalid
Judge Stolberg Terms New
Measure especial Legis-
latiOn,''

In a decision handed down this
week by District Judge Alfred P.
Stolberg, the county officers salary
law, known as Chapter Is, S. F. 1873,
passed during the last session of the
state legislation, was ruled unconsti-
tutional on the grounds that it was
special legislation.
Would Apply Only in Pine.
Judge Stolberg gave his opinion
that said law is unconstitutional in
that it picked Pine county alone as
the only county in Minnesota to
which the law could apply, although
several counties come within the
population range. Pine county is the
only county having not less than 46
nor more than 40 full and fractional
congressional townships. This marks
the law as special legislation which
is prohibited under Sections 33 and
"a of Article of the State Consti-
tuition and thus renders the law in
valid.
Special Court Term June 9.
Following the legislative session
last winter, the Pine county board
of commissioners had set county Of
fcers' salaries as provided by the
act but restraining order was OBJ
tanned by Register of Deeds P. L.
Hamlin, preventing the board from
putting the law into effect.
The case was heard at a special
term of the district court on June 9
and the matter taken under advise
ment by Judge Stolberg.
Text of Decision.
The text of Judge Stolberg's de-
cision is given herewith:
at is claimed by plaintiff that
Chapter Is, Laws of 1943 is invalid
and unconstitutional as special legis-
lation in violation of Sections 33 and
"a of Article of the State Con-
stitution. We are constrained to sus-
tain that claim. That this act as
worded cannot apply to any county
but Pine county must be admitted.
The fact that the act is not applic-
able to other counties does not neces-
sarily invalidate it. State VS.. School
Board, 1877 MINI. 421, Chapter is,
