He was obliged to secure wpassports from Washington before permission was given to leave Swed- en. Mr. Olson says he thoroughly en- joyed his visit overseas, but is glad to be back in northern Minnesota again. One of the most successful bazars the Samhold Ladies Aid has ever con- ducted was that of last Friday even- ing at the Quern hall, where a large number of town and country folks gathered and vied with one another in the buying of fancy work, dressed poultry, vegetables, etc., contributed by members of the society and others. Stephen Winden cried the sale and his splendid auctioneering was in no small degree responsible for the suc-| cess of the affair. A fishing pond and lunch which were side-lines to the main event proved to be excellent revenue getters and helped swell the total receipts which amounted to more than & $130.00. The money is the first to go into a fund to be added from time to time and eventually used in the conmstruction of a base- ment beneath the Samhoid church. Every breeder of Holsteln-Friesian cattle—the good old black and white kind, knows the record and perform- ance of the best sire of the breed in Minnesota—King Segis Ponyiac Count whose daughters have broken more world records than have the daughters of any other sire either dead or alive. But few people knew that a son of this famous sire has been quietly grazing for the past four summers on the dairy farm of Halvor H. Halvorson, 8 miles north of Gon- vick whose herd today is second to none in Clearwater county. This sire Katin King Pontiac, is nearly six years old and in his prime. He was ' shipped here four years ago by H. G. Larson, former county agent of St. Louis county, who has just re-shipped him—not to the stockyards—but to head one of the best Holstein herds in St. Louis county. Mrs. W. W. Jones was a visitor, in Clearbrook Monday, spending the day there as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Anderson. Concluding a three week's stay in Govnick, Even Dolalia, farmer of Farmington, Mont., returned Wednes- day to his home. While here, Mr. Dolalia baled a car load of hay grown on his farm north of town and ship- ped it to the western state, where there is a serious shortage of hay and other feed as well, owing to this year’s drought which was the worst experience by Montana in a long per- iod of years and which is bringing much hardship to many settlers. Mrs. J. 8. Miller and son, Ronald, returned Monday from an over-Sun- day visit with relatives and friends at Oklee. Harry Roese, member of the crack base ball team which represented Gonvick last summer, called on friends in the village Tuesday even- ing. Mr. Roese is now field represen- tative for the Milwaukee Journal, with headquarters at EuClaire, Wis. Mrs. George Bottineau and Miss Maybell Green passed a iew hours in Clearbrook Saturday. Cards have been received by friends in Gonviek, announcing the arrival of a baby girl at the home of Mr. end Mrs. Milton Bjorkquist of Clearbrook. Mrs. Bjorkquist was fomerly Miss Agnes Wiench and at cne time was employed in the First National bank of Gonvick. After svending a few days here with relatives, Knute Vangen of Al- bert Lea ‘returned Saturday to the down-state city. Mrs. J. H. Cockrell and two child- ren are home from a visit lasting two weeks with relatives at Aldridge, Minn. They returned Friday even- ing and were accompanied by Albert iSpillean, who will visit here through- out the present week. Mr. Spillean is a brother of Mrs. Cockrell. Mrs. Ed Sherman came to Gonvick from Bagley Saturday and is spend- ing the week with friends in Winsor king of Scotlund, A. D. 1203, it was determined that Saturday, after the twelfth hour, should be kept holy, that every one might attend Vespers in preparation for Sunday. Posed as Man for Years. Milwaukee. Wis.—Cora Anderson, who for 13 years lived here as a man, recelved a dismissal of her vagrancy case from Judge Page. Cora has been on probation for 90 days following a charge of a man that she and another woman had stolen $40 from him. Cora, married this time as a woman, has been living at No. 709 State street. While masquerading as Ralph Ker wineo for 18 years she was success- tully the “husband” of two women, one white, one colored. if any one, Herbert Hoover. ks with autoority when he tells of hu- man suffering, says in a formal itatement : “In my opinion, the situation 0 the Near East is the most lesperate in the world.,” Mr. Hoover has sent a letter to Cleveland H. Dodge, treasurer s Near East Rellef, 1 Madison avenue, New York, in which he says: “In accepting your invitation to become a member of the Ex- «cutive Committee of the Near East committee, I do so with reluctance, but out of a sense of duty towards one of the most difficult situations in Europe. Until some political settlement can be obtained for the Near East and some government es- tablished in responsibility for the care and .epatriation of the Armenian population in the Cau- casus, this mass of people must live sheerly by the charity of the United States. There are In the Caucasus approximately 1,800.- 000 Armentans, of whom 800,000 are entirely destitute—refugees from Turkey—and amongst them a tremendous mass of children. “I cannot too strongly urge upon the members of the com- mittee and their supporters the critical necessity of concentrat- Ing every possible effort to sup- port Colonel Haskell’'s adminis- tration in the amounts that he requires; otherwise we shall witness one of the greatest trag- edles of the entire war.” DEATH RATE DROPS WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES Lives of thousands of Armenian children already have been saved by the Near East Rellef taking over the Armenian orphanages, according to de- tailed reports, which have just reached the headquarters of that organization. These institutions had been run by the Armenians since the beginning of the war to care for the children whose parents had been murdered by the Turks. Because of lack of food, clothing and medicine, the death rate among the children In these institu- tions averaged as high as twenty or thirty a day In some cases. When Armenlan funds became In- adequate the Near East Relief took charge of the orphanage. Since thaf thme the death rate has been greatly reduced. Given good food and care the children are quickly returning tc normal physical and mental condition. It is estimated by persons who have made a survey of Armenla that 120,000 children will dle during the next year unless they are given food and cure. Near East Rellef Is the only organl- zation now operating in Western Asia and It Is making an appeal to’ save these Christlan children, But Father Can't. It has been our observation that when a holiday comes around every- pody takes advantage of it except those who need it the most. —Gorns Come Off Like Banana Peel “@ets-It" Leaves Toe Smooth As Your Palm.
