'On account Of the various
statements which have been pub

should like to answer . few of
the questions which are asked us
most frequently.
Have you been able to get
your supplies into Russia!
We are glad to say that all
our shipments have been for.
warded from the port of entry
to the famine area with a mini.
mum amount of delay. The win
ter has been severe and this
coupled with a crippled railroad
system has delayed shipments t.
some extent. but so far we have
had no cause for complaint. De
lays are inevitable in handling
large shipments, but we fee
that the Soviet government ha.
done the very best it could undel

Full with the knowledge that
Gov. J. A. O. Preus. who has
again been chosen the Repub-
lican standard bearer is prac-
tically unbeatable, the Nonparti-
san League and the Democrats,
it is reported. are preparing to
give their undivided attention to
the United States senatorship.
This means that the big end of
the fight this year will be direct
ed against Frank B. Kellogg.
This tendency is indicated in an
editorial way by several League
controlled papers and it is
further reported that a move
ment is now on for the thorough
organization of the Red River
Valley in an anti-Kellogg way.
The League believes it has a
senatorial winner in DR.. Henrik
Shipstead and overtures have
been made to the Democratic
leaders with view of securing
their aid.

State Capital circles received u
shock this week in the announce
ment that Odin Halden had
filed for the nomination of
auditor of st. Louis county and
that he intended to resign short
ly as a member Of the state
tax commission. Mr.. Halden by
the way was for "a years the
chief accounting officer of one
Of the largest counties of the
state. St. Louis, and for six years
previous had officiated in the
capacity Of chief deputy. In a
way Mr.. Halden's filing is a
comeback as he was distanced
four years ago by the present
auditor and from all accounts
the change has not been a very
satisfactory one. 1t Is known
that pressure was used to get
Mr.. Halden into the race and
that he sewers his present state
connection with considerable re-
luctance. Gov. Preus it is under.
stood has expressed his regrets

backing promised him will not
be lacking when the votes are
counted.

High prices and scant supplies Of

The most notable feature about
the recent automobile shows IN Ems.
land. France and Germany was the
abundance OF small cars. They
were present in all sorts OF designs.
varying in nearly every degree but
one. That was their low cost OF

The same movement for smaller.

United States The four-cylinder
vehicle Is gaining in prominence.
Manufacturers Of sixeA have taken

IL easier to sell their new line Of
cars than the older.
The urge for the smaller car came
first in Europe where motorists
have had 20 pay a large tax ON the
amount OF gasoline their cars con.
suned. besides being obliged to buy
their fuel at three or four tlnce
the ratio motorists pay here. Fuel
was rRtiored out IN pipss and costs
OF cars were at prohibltive heights.
Construction u small automobiles
was soon recognized as essential by
leading manufacturers on tho cont.

by their engineers was to devote
their attention TO construction %
smaller engines which would con.
sumo les fuel.
The iss cubic inch engine has
been taken off the race track and
the i32 inch power plant substituted.
II has brought with IL lighter car,
making for less wear on tires and
lower fuel consumption.
Air-propelied vehicles are almost a
common sight In France. They ARE
the product OF the need for fuel

and transmission gears. C0nstruc-

CINE and all It's parts are over the
rear axle. The car can develop s5

sumption. say its producers.
The German. French and English
auto shows also displayed tenden-
cy TO conserve in tire costs. Many
OF the small cars shown had only
