SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1920 CLEARBROOK FARMER “WILL ERECT LARGE DAIRY BARN IN SPRING “Flu” Leaves Its Mark in Many Homes; Phone Company Elects © . (Special to Pioneer) ' Clearbrook, March 11.—Mr. and Mrs. Robert Schwartz are here vis- iting with Mrs. E. J. Stoker in the township of Clover. Mrs. Schwartz will begin to teach the school in the Tenny Parks district in the near fu- ture. Mrs. Schwartz is a daughter of Mrs. Stoker. |{We understand that Edward D. Rydeen residing about two and one- half miles east of Clearbrook will erect a large modern dairy barn in ‘the spring. .+ The ““flu” in its ragings in amd ‘around Gonvick, left its mark of déath in more than one home. The ‘happy home of Claus Asleson was no . exception to its calling, and before “.children and neighbors. . hands. But these same men,‘'we hope, departing on its errand of pain and .death it had claimed his eight year old daughter, Myrtle, on February 27, while on Monday his wife was also called into the great beyond from where no one returns. Before passing away she left a little baby .girl, which, according to late reports, .is coming along fine. Just after his wife passed Mr. Asleson himself was taken dangerously ill and came very near leaving also. He is now on the road to recovery, which is happy jmews to his hard struck remaining ‘Mrs. Asle- son was 37 years old at the time of her death. She was a daughter of “Mkr. and Mrs. Knute Svennes. - Eight children’ remain to mourn her loss. Interment took place Tuesday at the ‘Samhold cemetery. The directors ot the Farmers Mu- tual Fire Insurance Company of <Clearwater county have voted to -make all banks in the county depos- jtors for their funds. This was a ‘business move and will give the farmers a chance to pay their annual and other dues at the bank at which ‘they do business. At a recent meeting held by the directors of the Garden Valley Tele- phoen company at Erskine, T. K. Bergland of Clearbrook was re-elect- ed president and Thos Vollom gen- <eral manager. Frank Kautcher of Greenwood township the other day, threshed $700 worth of Alfalfa seed from a three acre tract of land. This netted him over $225 per at.J. Three years :ago he bought his 120 acre farm for $3,000, and now almost paid a third of it from a crap of three acres in .alfalfa. This is mighty good reasons ‘wny Clearwater county is one of the best countys in which to go after farm in a business way and one of ‘the main reasons every man and ~woman who look for land and profit- able homes should make it a point to look over our lands before locating <elsewhere. There appears to be a certain ele- ‘ment in our county who take a pride in keeping clearwater county in the back ground when we get to making -gefieral improvements and especially roads. This is very much to be re- zretted, and the day will come wWhen those characters and the interests jnvolved in the blackmailing of Clear- water county and its citizens will.be :sorry for their deeds and their mem- ories in place of being written let- ters of gold in the history of our county will be known as the period of disgrace and depression. Their names forever disappear and never remembered, because of the utter failure by them to understand and grasp the opportunities which was -placed within the palm -of their -will live long enough to seé the work completed in spite of themselves, and when this is done they will hate] themselves more than the public will, Dbecause they will have pity upon them in their eternal misery, which never can be attoned by human hands || on this side of the river Jordan. They know not what theéy do, seems to be the public opinion as a whole, and this we hope is true. If not, the sin is so much greater, and the curse so much worse. Public improvements can be temporarily held down, never permanently, and at that we shall reap the fruits of our labors earlier ‘than most people in our county real- ize at the present day. The state editorial association at their recent annual meeting at St. Paul .took great pleasure in passing a resolution praising and holding forth the good ends of the American Legion in the following words: “Whereas, The service men who were engaged in the World war have formed themselves into an organiza- tion known as the American Legion; and Whereas, The purposes and tenets of the organization are intended to' foster the great underlying principles of Americanism and the constitution of the United States and are opposed to every form of disloyalty; ‘therefore, be it Resolved, That this association express its hearty approval of the American Legion and pledge to this organization and its program its un- swerving support. We also indorse those associations and organizations that have for their purpose thé - lightening of the people as to the dangers that American citizens and institutions, and more particularly those in Minnesota, are today facing. Mr. Hiemining of Mottt, North Da- kota, is here with a car load of fine heavy draft horses for sale at the Martin A. Johnson barn at this place. 1f you want a team, come at once and look them over. It seems that “Mott is the spot that God forgot” with & now, | proper amt;unt of moisture a year or two ago, to produce decent crops. . Henry Torgerson departed last week for Wadena, Sask., Canada, up- on a call from his sister, Emma, that she was dangerously ill at the hos- pital at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Nels Melhus went to Warren, this state, last week in or- der to seek medical attentions. Miss Lillian Larson, a teacher over at Leonard, was taken down with the “flu” -and brought up here to the hgme of Dr. and Mrs. care and treaument. After a few days tussle with the *“flu” and good care, she came out with flying colors and is now back at her job teaching school as well as ever. Her many friends here rejoice with her in her early recovery. . Mr. Gustafson of Superior, Wis., arrived here for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Paui Samuelson of Leon towa- ship. His daughter, staying there, has been ill for some time. She is now improving. Marion Schlief, a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Schlief of Sinclair town- ship, has enlisted in the army and will see service in the coast artil- lery. We take off our hat to Marion and his good intentions. He may be statipned at the Hawaiian Islands. ‘Who next? Mr. and Mrs. Erick Bjork had the misfortune to lose their home and most of their household “goods by a fire originating from a deflective| chimney it seems. At the time of the fire only the children were home. This is a hard blow to this hard working family. It is reported that this is the third big house fire suf- fered by these hard stricken people. The Sandeen .Bros., of the Clear- brook Auto garage report having al- ready sold three of the four new Dodge automobiles bought a few days ago. The Ford car had advanced an- other $50 per car, which should make the Dodge a popular selling car un der present conditions. John H. Norby, our well known and popular young business man re- ceived the sad news of the death of his father at Hawley, this state. He departgd Tuesday morning in order to be present at the funeral. Martin Gudmonson of Eddy town- sHip gave Clearbrook a call, Satur- day. The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole B. Savick was made happy on Febru- a;'yl 26th, witn the arrival of a baby girl. ‘The financial committee for the Clearbrook baseball are E. Randahl, Leonard Bergland and Peter Walle. They are hustlers and we look for them to bring forth abundance in the finanajal line to make the whole thing a complete success. By a petition presented by Ed ward N. Ness and others on Rural Route No. 3 and from here to the postoffice department they had the route change as follows: ‘When it gets a half mile south of Clearbrook in place of continuing on south as formerly it will turn east o .ue Jefferson -‘Highway and continue thence for one mile, thence two miles suuth on the same highway and intersect the original route at the northwest corner of the John H. iHanson homestead and from there continue on the original route and into town again. Henry Oberg, the present carrier, is much pleased with the new arrangement, and further. more it will give these people morn- ing mail service in place of in the afternoon. The change will take place on Tuesday, March 16th. Get ready for the new service, boys.
