The Pine County Farm Bureau
has been organized and operating
since February 18th, 1918. Most
of the activities to date have been
on organization work, getting ac-
quainted with the people in the
county and the most important
problems before the different
communities and the county as
a whole.
incidentally iinportant work
has been started on the stand
ardization Of potato varieties,
winter feeding problems, live
stock and breeders associations,
marketing problems and the de-
velopment of community and
county spirit generally. The ex-
tent to which a cooperative spir-
it toward all of those things that
will improve agricultural condi-
tions within the county have
been manifest at the very begin
ming Of the organization, Is in
deed gratifying to the Directors

WIN BY LARGE MAJORITY
Larson Returned Winner Over Rystrom for State
Senate by Small Margin of IS Votes--Berg
Runs Third In Race for Repre-
sentatve---Jungers Fourth

Election is over and the most
interesting battle in the 56th
legislative district was that of
representatives. the four candi-
dates. Nordgren. Petersen, Berg
and Jungers working hard to
land on top.
From the vote received at the
primaries it appeared that Berg
Of Chisago County. would be re-
turned one of the winners at the
general election, but he suffered
the same fate as have SO many
Non-Partisan League candidates
thruout the Northwest. Chisago
County rallied to the support of
Pedersen and gave him an even
hirger vote than they did Berg.
Nordgren receiving the biggest
vote in Chisago County, while
Petersen topped the list in Pine.
The result is that Petersen and
Nordgren are returned victors by
a good margin. Nordgren topping
the list. Petersen second also a
victor and Berg running third
about 300 votes behind Petersen.
Jungers ran a poor fourth.
Following are the total votes
of each candidate for representa-
tive in Chisago County.
Nordgren .....,.,......l J ,555
Petersen ............. 1910

yet incomplete, a few precincts

the district will be approximate
" rs above stated, Petersen and
Nordgren winning with Berg
about 300 votes behind Petersen.
The battle for state senator
did not appear to be 50 spirited.
as neither Larsen nor Rystrom
did much campaigning. The re-
suit is that the vote is very close.
Larson being returned a victor
by a majority Of about rs.
The total vote on the senator
ship in Chisago County. which is
complete is as follows:
Larson ...,.... l.O7l
Rystrom .......... ,45l
With only a few precincts
missing in Pine County the re-
suit indicates victory for Lar
son by about rs votes.
In the battle for county offices.
Edin was an easy winner over
Craig for auditor; Wandel was re-
turned register Of deeds over
Halva. Hawley defeated Peterson
for sheriff by a good margin.
Therrien was an easy victor over
Lambert for Judge Of probate MS
was also Erwin aver Sobotka for
county attorney and Miller
walked away with the honors for
superintendent OF school.
For the county offices the plu-
rality of winners will be approx
