mink suddenly jumped out of the water, into his boat, onto his lap, then
scooted across to the other end or
the boat where it sat for a few minutes regarding John critically. John
didn't move. He was too dumbfounded to move or speak for several
minutes. About the time John was

which he rallied considerably. He
is definitely out of danger and is
slowly  recovering in   his bave battle.

Dr. L. W. Foker of the State Board
of Health met with village officers,
members of the school board ancl local physicians AVednesday evening,
to make arrangements for an intelligent method of culturing ancl inoculating for diptheria, which broke out
in  this  community  recently.
Since it has been definitely learned that little John Lembke died of
diptheria, every necessary precaution has been taken to present any-
further spread of the disease. The
Lembke family is under quarantine
and those who of necessity came in
contact with the family are being
kept under close surveilance. A large
number of children have been sent
home from school with sore throats
anu cultures have been taken in many
cases.
However, it was felt that a definite plan should be made to check tlie
possibility of an epidemic in the
schools etc. It was decided to have
mass-cultures taken on Thursday of
children from the 1st. through the
Ctli grade. Questionaires were sent
our to all homes in which parents or
guardians were definitely asked to
state whether or not their children
have previously been inoculated an.I
if not, to signify as to their consent
to have it done now. For those in
doubt about previous inoculations,
the Shick test will be given to determine immunization. Dr. Foker explained that immunization must be
built up over a period of weeks and
is not necessarily effective at onceH
Also, anyone out of school due to
illness, must have a negative culture
before being allowed to return.
Hereafter, it is hoped that this
work may be carried on every year
to insure a preventative against tills
dreaded disease.
Prices for inoculation are very reasonable ancl arrangements will be
made for those who are financially
unable to pay the small fee.
Those who have children of preschool age for which inoculation is
desired, may see either Dr. Johnson
or Dr. Adkins and a day will be set
aside for these youngsters. Those
who did not receive a questionaire
at school should report at the school
office for one at once.
Mrs. A. C. Thompson was guest of
honor at a birthday party at her
home Monday evening, when a number of friends surprised her on the
occasion. Guests included Mrs. MacKinney, Miss Mae Davies, Mrs. Ervin Butler, Mrs. Thos. Young, Kay
Stevens, Katherine Skllrud ancl Mrs.
E. J. Jimmerson and niece of Back-
'us. The self-invited guests served
refreshments at the close of the pleasant  evening.

Clothing Store To
Move To Little Fork
Ralph Galbraith, proprietor of the
Pine River Clothing Co., expects to
leave this week for a new location
at Little Fork. Mr. Galbraith recently purchased the stock and business
of a similar store in Little Fork and
will move the merchandise from the
local store to the new location.
Mr. Galbraith and Mr. Jones established the Clothing Store in Pine
River two years ago. A short time
ago Air. Jones sold his interest to Mr.
Galbraith as his school duties made
it impossible for him to continue the
partnership.
Although his many friends regret
his leaving, they extend best wishes
to Mr. Galbraith for his further success  in   his  new  venture.

furnished part of the diversion for

Major P. S. Bettenburg of St Paul,
met with the village council Wednesday evening to draw up plans for a
proposed municipal building for Pine
River. Mr. Bettenburg is the architect.
Present plans call for a fireproof
building to house fire equipment, jail,
liuqor store, council rooms and a firemen's room. The location of the
building has not been decided upon.
The same project will include a pipe
line from the river to the hotel, with
two laterals, one to the Farmers supply store and one to the schoolhouse,
with five hydrants, automatic pumper, pumphouse at the river and a
self draining system. This would
give the village complete fire protection at all points.
These two projects are badly needed in Pine River and would be a great
asset to the village, furnishing excellent fire protection at all times,
and providing a building to take care
of its needs.
The cost of the entire project his
been estimated at $21,000.00; $12,000
for the building and $8,000 for the
pipeline. Of this amount, the village
can receive an outright PWA grant
of 45 percent or $10,000, and will
have to furnish $11,000 of their own
money. To do this, they propose to
issue bonds to the state of Minnesota
for the amount of $11,000 at 3 percent interest.
A special election will be held on
Monday, October 17, to decide whether or not the project should be
carried out and whether or not bonds
should be issued to finance the project. A notice of the special election appears In this issue.
This is a matter of vital importance
to the village as the present method
of fire protection has proved very
inadequate ana the building is muc/i
needed for municipal enterprises.
DUCK SEASON OPENS
NEXT SATURDAY
The Minnesota duck season will
open October 1, and continue through
November 14, with shooting from 7
a. m., to 4 p. m. This season promises to be the most productive for

Waterfowl by the millions bave
been noted this year on nearly every
lake in the state. Last spring, they

stream in  the Minnesota  duck area.
Minnesota is one of the eight states
to open its duck season on Oct. 1, the
earliest date among the 48 states.
Duck seasons also open on this date
in Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire,
North and South Dakota, Vermont
and Wisconsin. Sale of federal duck
stamps last year was greater than
any other year, with 757,000 stamps
sold. Of these, 97,883 were sold in
Minnesota alone, one seventh of tha
entire nation's sale.
Bag limits this year, are 10 ducks
daily, of which not more than three
may include canvasbacks, redheads
ruddy ducks or bugleheads, species
which were protected last year. Wood
ducks may not be taken at all. Four
geese may be taken daily, 12 coots,
and 12 rails, gallinules and jack-
snipes. A total of 15 birds of all
types allowable is the aggregate dally
bag limit.
Plover, mourning dove, swan and
greater and lesser yellowlegs are protected  this  season.
Resident hunting licenses will cost
$1 and non-resident $25. Non-resident
hunters may ship to themselves 25
game birds of all kinds within the
possession limits prescribed by the
state.
