CATHOLIC AID TO MEET
Pine River had more or less of a
topsy-turvy look Wednesday morning
after Hallowe'en. It looked as though
"Chick Sale" was building his houses
closer to the ground for some reason
or other—maybe it's the streamline11
style. Anyway they work better the
other way. Tipper-uppers were all
busy the next morning.
* * * *
A Hot'se on Somebody
They got fooled though when
they tipped this writer's, as we
have inside plumbing and have
not relied on the little house for
some years past—so up or down
it makes us no difference. And
If we have anything to say about
it, it will stay down. Many is the
time we have struggled the morning after to raise it back to normal but the other night when we
heard the commotion and stepped
out in time to catch the prank
sters in the act—and didn't say
anything, they had sort of a
sheepish look on their faces and
acted as though their grunts and
groans had been for naught—i
which they had.Next year to change
the procedure, they can tip il up
again.
Not So Funny
The boys outdid themselves when
they turned over the out-house at the
home of Mrs. Wm. McLean as Ihe
building landed on top of a pig and
killed it, which is no small loss to
anyone, and ceases to be fun. The
sil, i1iy is after ihe brats and we
have been informed from a reliable
source that, their names are known
and they will soon be apprehended.

Don't You     Believe   It!
"All this talk about the freedom of
the press." says the New'.on (ICai
Journal, does not mean that you are
excused   from   paying   your   subscription.

Quite a Boost
An increase in the purchasing power of $100 a year on every farm in the
U. S., would give $000,000,000 to the
American market for manufactured
goods.

QUITE A FAMILY
Our local correspondent stopped
in at Lon Fields last week and Lon,
beaming all over, informed her thar
his water spaniel had jur.t given birth
to eight healthy puppies. In her haste
to be about her work, she forgot to
report the item and it was not chronicled. So this week when she met. Eon.
he inquired in no uncertain terms
-why the item was omitted from the
columns last week. Aft;er -explaining
the' reason, Lon smiled and said,
"Well it's OK anyway, as she now has
ten and it will make a better item.'
Maybe we should have held off another week.

They Learn Young Now
One of the local teachers in
the lower grades (we are not to
mention her name) was testing
the knowledge of her youthful
aspirants. . Slapping a half-dollar
on the desk, she said sharply.
What is that?" Instantly a voice
from the back row said. "Tails.''

A  Good  Thought
His honour rooted in his Honour

And  faith   unfaithful     kept     him
falsely true.

U. S. Army Offers
Opportunity   For
Young Men Today
Citizens in this vicinity report that
thousands of muskrat will starve and
freeze during the coming winter. This
condition has resulted because of a
great number being forced to take up
homes in small shallow pug-holes. As
we go to press, the condition of feed
has already become so alarming as to
force them, at this early stage, to live
by eating bark prom tries. .Minnesota does not allow trapping of musk-
rat until late spring. Certainly there
should be an emergency declared to
pi-event this wilful waste of valuable
fur if we are to prevent the loss of
thousands of dollars to the cit.iz.eilg of
this state. Somebody will be held responsible if this condition is allowed
to continue, for the future of wildlife
means much to every citizen of this
great state. It is -someone's sworn
duty to ]irevent this loss. Citizens
should write to the Commissioner oi
Game and Fish, St Pa'ulj asking that
this condition might be corrected.
Now there is an opportunity for
young men to enter the army. The
increase authorized by the President,
from 160,000 enlisted men to 227.00U
provides vacancies for many young
men.
When a man enlists he starts with
pay of $21.00 per month, uniforms
and equipment, comfortable budging,
the best of food, free hospitalization,
medical and dental treatment. By
studying and applying himself he can
be promoted to various different grades, the highest of which, that of
Master Sergeant, carries a salary of
$157.00  per  month.
Any young man between IS and 3d;
single and in good health, of good
standing in Ins community, is eligible
for   re-enlistment.
Information about the army may be
obtained from the postmaster-or any
of the following recruiting stations.

A PLAN FOR PEACE
Dear  Editor:
The United States senate's vote to
lift the embargo has focused the eyes
of the world on Washington. If the
House of Representatives, before acting upon the embargo matter, could
persuade President Roosevelt to invite, representatives of all nations to
Washington for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of establishing democratic world government
NOW, it is possible that the present
world' war could be brougnt to an end
and future wars made impossible.
If the government takes no steps in
this direction many people will believe the government is dominated by
groups that want war profits.
Should any nations now at war refuse to send representatives to such :i

AGAIN UNDER WAY
To the members and patrons of our
creamery: We. are making good progress in getting members signed up
and if each and every one of you that
have blanks will be kind enough to
go out and get your neighbor to sign
on the dotted line, we will soon be in
shape to take over the creamery as
we have some over 125 members already and over 1000 cows listed. If
we all do our part in getting the balance of the members needed, we will
not only have a creamery but we will
have the best one on the M & I railroad  right  in  Pine River.
A meeting will be held November
