Even far away in Northern Minnesota staunch young red blooded men gave their lives to their country’s cause, and this is becoming more and more known as the posts of the American Legion are organized in centers far remote from the swirling throngs, and they are formed with deep reverence and named in silent tribute to someone who did not rceive the customary welcome home, they sleeping -dead. Bemidji has named her p in yonder fields of American ost after Ralph G. Gracie, who met his fate in an air battle with a flock of Hun airplanes. Clearbrook has organized a post named in honor of Melvin Johnson, who won the Distinguished Service Cross by alone holding a horde of Germans with an automatic gun until his comrades reformed. He paid the supreme sacrifice. . Baudette, away up north in Beltrami county, is also organ- izing a legion post, named after Linwood Laughy, the first local man to make the sacrifice in the name of his home village and nation. Such names are fitting tributes and will endure for years to come, as have the Grand Army posts bearing names of Civil war dead. —_ HERE’S A CHEERING STATE OF FACTS.

Clearbrook ,Sept. 30.—Elmer Erickson returned Friday evening from oversea service. Elmer looked hale and aearty, the very picture of health and happiness, the same as the rest of his comrades, returned before him. He is glad to be home once more in good old Clearwater county, and has iearned to appreciate it as one of God’s treasure spots. 'Elmer was the last boy to return from France.from the Clearbrook territory. Welcome back boys! T1ne Melvin Johnson Post organized here by the returned -soldiers, is growing fast and developing into one of the most popular posts®in the county. Almost every day new mem- bers are being added to its roll of honor. The boys have named their post in honor of their departed com- rade, Melvin Johnson, who won the Distinguished Service Cross in action overseas. The act was one.of won- derful heroism and carried out vol- untarily, in that he .went out over 150 yards in advance.of his’lines with an automatic rifle all alone and held up a whole German battalion, long enough until our boys were able to reform and drove the Germans off with great loss. He lost his‘life in performance of this act. The:Distin- guished Service Cross was ordered is- sued by General Pershing, and/is now in possession of his old and' respected parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peder.Jghnson, of Eddy, near Clearbrook.~ Th was presented to them by Ge; Torrance’ of St. Paul, at CI on July 31 last, during th coming: celebration :given goes about it in a way which breaks down the barrier of coldness that has been years in building.

Or, again, the term may be of far eastern origin, where a word sounding lke “love” was used in the old form c" tennis that was once popular in the orfent.

A meeting of the Jefferson High- way members for Clearwater county was held at Bagley Saturday evening, at which L. Jensen of Clearbrook was elected president; George L. Hamery of Gonvick, vice chairman; Dr. C. G. Forrest of Clearbrook, secretary; E. Randahl of Clearbrook, treasurer. The three directors elected were George Burfield of Shevlin, Ole G. Lee of Bagley, and Olaus Henderson of Clearbrook. The three delegates to attend the States Jefferson High- way meeting, October 9 at Little Falls, are Albert Kaiser of Bagley, and L. Jensenand Olaus eHnderson of Clearbrook. The convention instructed the county association to invite and take along all the county commissioners as a body to the state convention, which is expecteéd to be the larges;t and best meeting of good road boost- ers ever held in the state. If for any reason any of the duly elected deie- gates to Little Falls cannot go, the association was authorized to appoint some one else in his place. - Read The Pioneer for all the news, the only live and up-to-date news- paper in Northern Minnesota.
