Monthly Meeting of Trade
Selects Week Of January

The regular monthly meeting Of

mittee announced that plans for

BETTER BUCKS

$500 Washingtonians See
New Models During the
Opening Days

All previous automobile show"
attendance records were broken
during the initial nationwide show
ing of the Better Bucks" During
the opening days 1.01S.322 persons
entered Buick showrooms through
out the country to view the new
line of Master and Standard Skies.
In washington $3.50 persons
viewed the new models during the
opening days.
These figures are accurate tabu-
lations made by checkers placed
ct the. doors Of the 1000 Buick
dealers in the United States and
transmitted by telegraph TO the
factory at Flint, Mich.
The Introductory event may we'll
be classed as. an automobile show,
differing from regular shows IN
that it comprised one make OF car
exhibited in all cities instead of
all make of cars being exhibited
IN one city. In any event the.
total attendance far exceeded that
Of any individual motor car show
during a like period of time.
It has been impossible at this date
to, check the number OF orders re-
ceived, but every indication points
to q record number, even exceeding
those which. followed other Buick
announcements In recent ysars.
The huge crowds that have been
swarming Buick saIesrooms clearly
indicates the strong hold autorno.
Is extremely doubtful in ohe prod
biIes have on the public fancy. It
uct OF any other industry could
cause this number of persons to
leave their homes voluntarily in
midssunmer and visit packed show
rooms This mammoth response
to the exhibition OF one line Of
cars augnrs well FOR the entire
industry during the remainder OF
this year and 1926. People do not
attend exhibitions Of automobiles
unless interested IN motor cars.
and every person evincing such
interest is possible prospect for

FARM BUREAU CHIEF
STUDIES WORK HERE
Official of National Organization
Pleased With Bureau and Co
operative Work in Minnesota
Gives Statement.

Frank Evans, general market.
ing counsel and secretary of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, visited Minnesota the past
week to make a survey of farm
bureau work in the state as q
part of general survey being
made by the national organiza-
ton.
During his visit to state farm
bureau headquarters Mr.. Evans
was asked for a message to farm
bureau members and the public
of Minnesota. In response he ex.
pressed himself as follows:
The purpose of the American
Farm Bureau Federation has al
ways been to build up a conser
vative institution which will be
of permanent service to the far
mers of America. In spite of ur
gent need in all farming section,
of the country, the farm bureau
is endeavoring to proceed upor
safe program. II is better t.
go slow enough to be sure of oul
ground than to proceed too rapid
ly and make mistakes. This has
been the policy of the American
Farm Bureau.
Reports from nearly all the
state bureaus indicate steadily
increasing membership in the or
ganization which clearly shows
that the outstanding service
which it has performed in con-
junction with state and county
organizations is appreciated by
the farmers of the country"
When asked as to the legisla-
tive program of the bureau for
the immediate future. Mr.. Evans
said that pursuant to a resolu-
ton passed by the board of direc-
tors at its last meeting the fed

ability, determine the attitude
of its membership on major le-
gislative proposals so that farm

Washington, May 27.-Conven-
tions of business and social orga-
nizations are the only things to
relieve the deadening effect of
the political off-season in Wash
ington. The congressional con-
tingent has completely disap-
peared and the exodus of the di-
plomatic corps is under way. Mr..
Coolidge and some of his Cabinet
will follow next month.
The chief political crumb is
the possible fate of the Federal
Trade Commission. Senator Dor.
ah, of Idaho, and Senator Norris,
of Nebraska, who are known as
Liberal Republicans, are doing
considerable talking to the eff.
feet that the Commission should
be abolished. These gentlemen
have just made the discovery
that the Commission is a hot bed
of fractional politics. The aver.
age American business man and
every political observer in Wash.
ington have been cognizant OF
the situation for at least six
years. 1t took frank discussion
of the Commissions shortcoming
by the newly appointed member
of that body, Mr.. William Hum
phrey, of the State of Washing
ton, to attract the attention of
the two Western Senators.
The fact that Senator Norris
has concurred with Senator Bor-
all indicates that the "politics"

FATHER TO TWIN BOYS

Twin boys were born to Mr.,

morning. The one weighs 8
pounds and the other 5. Both ap.
pear strong and healthy and
everybody concerned are doing

CLOVERTON ATTORNEY
GOES TO MINNEAPOLIS

p. A. Sandberg who has been
resident of Cloverton the past
half dozen years or more, is this
week moving to Minneapolis to-
gether with his family to take
up residence in the Mill City.
Mr.. Sandberg was for some years
cashier of the Cloverton bank,
was manager Of the farmers CO.
operative store, and since then
has been interested in other
business enterprises and has
practiced law. He played an i'm
portant part in the re-districting
of Pine county in commissioner
districts three years ago so that
the 500 line territory in the east
ern portion of the county might
all be in one district and thereby
put up a more united front. Mr..
Sandberg is interested in several
business enterprises in the Mill
City and for one thing makes a
interpreting compound which
is applied on sandstones or any
thing else which it is desired to
make waterproof. Pine county
friends wish this young emerge
tic man and his family success in
the big metropolis.

matters"
When asked for a statement re-
garding the activities of the
state bureaus in taxation matters.
Mr.. Evans said that in most of
the states aggressive efforts are
being made along educational. adj
illustrative and legislative lines
on this subject and that much
good has been accomplished in
this line in the past three or four
years. The fact is that some de-
finite taxation policies have been
developed by various state farm
bureaus and are in active opera
ton. either through the passing
of special laws or otherwise, and
as a result Of this farmers have
received direct benefit in the &C.
tual saving of dollars and cents
aggregating vast sums. Other
outstanding achievements of the

ASKOV is TROUNCED
BY KETTLE RIVER

According to reports nearly
everything was fumbled by the
Askov base ball players in their
game with Kettle River Sunday
at the latter place. Askov Sc
cured one lonely score in their
9 innings of effort and Kettle
River piled up either Is or 10
runs, making it so uneven that it
had no semblance of a contest.
Uffe Strandskov started on the
mound for Askov but was hard
hit and this coupled with poor
support by his teammates piled
up a big lead for the opponents
Won Schenk was called on fol
slab duty in the third inning and
finished the game at that post
Bennett Larsen took Won Schenk's
place on third.
Any team may play a good
game, yes, even a spectacular
game occasionally, without prac.
tice and team work, but they will
not play steady and dependable
base ball interesting to look at
without grilling. Practice and
team work is the dire need of
most small town teams. The ma
terial is there.
Next Sunday Askov will play
Sturgeon Lake at Sturgeon Lake.
