RECORD BREAKING CROP
ASSURED In MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, June 20.-A record
breaking crop in Minnesota this year
is further indicated by reports from
scattering counties, made public by
Fred D. Sherman, state commissioner
of immigration.
All grains are in first class condi-
tion, pastures are excellent, and the
general outlook now is better than
for many years, the report states.
Farm help is in demand now in some
districts and more will be needed as
the season advances. Roads are in
fair shape.
Acreage figures in the reports show
increases in nearly all grains, espec-
tally in wheat. Fruit and berry crop
prospects are rated only fair, and In
some instances it is predicted that
there will be few apples and plums.

HERE'S REAL SKY PILOT
(By United Press)

Dallas, Tex. June 20.-Rev. A. j
Osborne, former assistant pastor OF
Calvary Episcopal church, New York
City, has discarded the wings Of elo-
quence and the flights of oratory
and has taken unto himself the wings
of an airplane and is making flights

He didn't have to go to war, but
he's still young, and he found pas

NATIONS CAPITAL
EXPECTED KNUTSON
TO. Be NOMINATED

Washington, June 20.-Minnesota
has made good in the eyes of the Cap
ital. Governor Burnquist's decisive
victory over Charles A. Lindbergh,
Nonpartisan league candidate, and
the defeat of Ernest Lundeen, Min
neapolis anti-war representative, by
Walter H. Newton are regarded as
proof positive that the Gopher state
is loyal to the core.
Much Interest Shown.
The Minnesota primary election
created more interest at the capital
than any political event since the
Wisconsin senatorial election last
spring. -
With Lindbergh buried by more
than 10000 votes and other league
candidates defeated it is felt that A
C. Townley has ceased to be a politi-
cal factor in the Northwest.
Lundeen's defeat caused no sorrow
among his colleagues. His record in
the Congress has been anti-war. He
has voted mo" or present" on the
most important war measures pre-
sented by the administration. rRepub-
licans felt confident he could not sur
vive the election if nominated and
for this reason were pleased to see
him defeated.
NAV Join Davis Fight.
The nomination of Representative
Harold Knutson and C. r. Davis was
expected. Since his vote against the
war declaration, the former has sup
ported, the administration.
/. Davis record has been spotted and
1T will cause no great surprise if the
Democratic committee makes des-
perate fight to eliminate the Third
district member in November.
