TOBACCO  STORE  STOCKS
LARGEST  VARIETY IN U. S.
Bricelyn.—Bricelyn prides herself
in having the greatest tobacco store
in the state and we doubt if there
is another one like it in the United
States. O. C. Mineer is the proprietor. Born in Kentucky, the heart ot
the tobacco industry, Mr. Mineer lias
a good background for his hobby,
which he started only four years
ago. Last fall Mr. Mineer took a trip
to his old home town and at the
name time went through 19 states
looking for new brands of tobacco.
In Chicago, the best tobacco store
he found carried 101 brands of tobacco, and one in Memphis had 91
brands. From his trip, Mr. Mineer
brought back with him an additional selection of 158 southern brands.
He now has in his store 659 different brands of which 139 brands are
cigarettes and , 19 brands of Dip
snuff, powdered, as used in the extreme south. He has tobacco in his
store that retails at $1.40 for 3 1-4
■ounces, 'and cigarettes as 'high as
80c for ten. He has a book containing a list of every tobacco manufacturer, leaf dealer and cigar store in
the United States. Customers go to
this unique store in Bricelyn from
great distances and Mr. Mineer intends to continue his hobby until he
is sure that he has the best tobacco
store in  the world.

FOREIGN   DRIVERS   ACCOUNT
FOR     20     ROAD      FATALITIES
Either out-'of-state drivers traveling in Minnesota do not come up to
the standard of Minnesota drivers or
their unfamiliarity with state highways makes them prone to a higher
percentage of traffic accidents.
This was disclosed by a survey of
traffic accidents involving foreign
drivers during the first eight months
of this year by the accident recording
unit of the Minnesota Hi-way department.
During that period there were 434
accidents involving out-of-state cars
and 451 foreign drivers. The fatal
accidents per 100 foreign drivers was
4.5 against and 3.5 for, fatal accidents
involving each 100 Minnesota drivers.
Collisions with other motor vehicles accounted for 317 of the total accidents, collision with pedestrians accounted for 37 and non-collisions for
46 of the mishaps. 45 of the accidents
occurred when at least one of the
drivers was exceeding the speed lim
it.

A tragic accident took the life of
Dan Rush of Jenkins Saturday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Rush had driven
to the field with a team of horses to
shuck corn from shocks. After finishing one shock, Mr. Rush called to
the horses to go ahead. They evi-
dentally became frightened and began
to run. Mr. Rush grabbed for the
bridle but missed, grabbing the lines.
He was dragged for some distance
before he was forced to let go, the
wagon passing over his body. Severe
internal injuries caused his death the
same evening. He died without regaining consciousness.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Pine River Gospel Tabernacle on
Tuesday, with Rev. Clyde Meyer of
Casino officiating. A trio consisting
of O. F. Rodean, W. E. Spornitz and
wife sang "One More Days Work for
Jesus," "Asleep in Jesus," and "Nearer My God to Thee." Interment was
made in the Pine Ridge cemetery.
