PAST YEAR POOR
 ONE. FOR TOURISTS
High Prices Have Kept Visitors
 and Their Money Away

Hamburg, Oct. 24.-European tourist agencies, hotel keepers ,rail- way and steamship officials are now busy trying to make an estimate Of next years possible tourist business from the United States.
 i The season now coming to a close has been a record -breaker. especi- ally for England, France and Italy. switzerland had good year, and Austria and Czechoslovagla did we'll. Belgium and Holland also prospered and, together with Switzerland. won the approval of visitors through 1. their waiving of passport regulations and general courtesy to travellers.
 Germany had poor year and German hotel keepers are much dis appointed that the visitors from America who focked to the Wem- bley Exposition and the Olympic Games did not extend their trip into Germany This was due in part to the upset condition of the trans portation systems of Germany, and also to high prices, the municipal taxes imposed on foreign hotel guests, and the difficulties which foreigners underwent last year at the hands of German police officials, when an effort was made to free the country of objectionable foreign CTS"
 Americans who have visited Ger many this year have been mostly persons of German extraction, and business men. News of the high prices undoubtedly sent many people to Italy or southern France who might otherwise have come 10 Ger many.
 On the whole Americans who visited Europe this season probably did not have as comfortable time as they anticipated. London hotels were crowded throughout the sea- son and their prices were so high that even wealthy tourists found much fault The same was true of Paris. The Olympic Games and the conventions of lawyers and adyertis- ing men in London filled both Paris and London to .overf1owing with Americans. Many of the visitors were disgruntIed and declared most emphatically that they would give Europe wide berth for some time 10 come, and travel in their own country. i.,
 Americans who visited Italy and southern France, especially in the spring and early sumiher, found hotels and pensions crowded with German visitors. This created bad teeling as a movement for German relief was on in the United States at the time, and many Americans were puzzled by the apparent pros rerity of Germans living in comfort abroad, when many of, their fellow countrymcn were reported to be ir dire want.
 Travel in Germany should be more normal next year. provided there bt . no hitch in the execution of, tnt Dawes plan. High prices in Ger many especially in the larger cities still handicap the tourist business and there is no indication of { change in this respect. Berlin ha! finally eliminated the tax which wa! imposed on the rooms occupied b! foreign guests, but visitors complair that the local hotels still charge above world prices.
 On the whole, Europe hat a bonanza tourist season this year but it is doubtful whether next veal will be as good. Many of the visi
 ors went home with the feelin, F hat London and Paris did not .tak' proper precautions to insure th' comfort Of their visitors, and pro tect them against extortionate prices

amounts to S6.6S5. Five new
members were added to the local
association the past year. The

vailed for about two years. When

about six years ago the rate of in
terest was but SO, it later ad-
vanced to SO and is now down to
$40. Members have the priv
ilege of paying up their loans
every 5 years so those who went
in under the SO rate may get a
lower rate if such prevails when
the five years are up. Likely
they will be able to do better
than the SO.
There are now seven National
Loan Associations in Pine county
as follows: Pine City, Hinckley.
Brook Park, Sandstone. Mark

GAME FRIDAY EVE
Fast Game is Looked for
When Rivals Meet
at AskOv.

Folks in this community have
not yet developed much inter-
est and enthusiasm for basket
ball. This is largely due to the
fact that the game has seldom
been played here and Askov has
never had strong team, but
this year it appears that there
is more material" for basket
ball and strong team is likely TO
develop. The boys have been
putting in hard ticks at practice
since the holidays in preparation
for their game with Kerrick to-
morrow friday evening and a
lively encounter is looked for.
Askov has two victories over
Brook Park and Kerrick has
treated the Parkers in the same
fashion as well as showed form in
other contests so an even match
is looked for.
Turn out and see a good game.
not with a determination TO have
a certain team win at any cost
but TO witness and promote good
athletics, cheering for good
plays and squirting both teams on
to better basket ball.

HANCOCK ELECTED
CHAIRMAN OF BOARD

The initial meeting Of the
board Of county commissioners
this year was held at Pine City
Tuesday. The first in order was
the organization of the board
which resulted in the selection of
j. c. Hancock. commissioner from
the second district, as chairman.
This is Mr.. Hancocks fourth
year on the board and with his
years of experience in public life
in Pine county as well as else
where the honor and response
bility of the craftsmanship was
justly conferred upon him. Nels
Oakland of the third district was
elected vice chairman.
The official county printing
was awarded to the Askov Ameri-
can on a bid of Soc per folio for
the first insertion and 25c per
folio for each subsequent inser-
ton Of the financial statement,
commissioners proceeding and all
other notices ordered published
by the board during the year
1924. This is a little less than
one-half Of the full legal rate as
there is no extra charge for tabu-
lar matter. the full legal rate
being 90c and 45c with 25c addi-
tional for tabular matter. The
regular charge Of 15c per descrip-
ton will be made on the delin-
quent tax list. This means that
the American will again publish
the financial statement, delin-
quent tax list and commission
ers' proceedings throughout the
year, but in addition to that the
same matter will also be circu.
lated in all of the other county
newspapers for which service the
eight other newspapers will re-
ceive flat sum of $3.50 from the
county. This will give county
financial affairs wider publicity
than it has ever before had and
regardless of what county news
paper a Pine county taxpayer
may be reader Of he will be able
to read the official proceedings
in his paper. What the American
will receive for its share of the
work together with that paid TO
the other county newspapers will
amount to about three-fourths of
the full legal rate for publishing.
