BANKS OF GRONINGEN
AND SANDSTONE MERGE

The Groningen State bank has
been merged with the Security
State Bank of Sandstone. A. M.
Schanke of Mason City, who owns
the controlling stock, met last
week with the other officers and
this move was decided on as be-
ing for the best, as the little
towns Institution never has
been a paying one to it's organ
izers.
While the Groningen people
are not elated over this change,
it will not inconvenience the pa
irons Of that bank very much, as
a great deal of the trade from
that territory has been supplied
from Sandstone in the past. The
consolidation will do away with
considerable overhead expense.
The officers of the Security State
Bank at Sandstone at present are:
William Hurley, president; John
Hawley, vice president; Ben Hur-
ley, cashier. A. E. Bonstrom was
the recent cashier of the Gronin-
gen bank.

VOTE MONDAY

Next Monday, June 81, is
Primary Election day. Whatever
your choice go to the polls and
vote and help nominate the best
men to be voted on at the Gen
eral Election in the fall: Under
the old convention system the
political bosses told us who were
the nominees. The people now
do the nominating which is much
better and should be appreciated
to the extent that all voters ex-
press their choice.
On the county ballot there is
only the contest for nomination
for county attorney except in the
First and Third Commissioner
districts where there are contests
for the office of county commis-
sioner-more local. Four are up
for attorney. The present counr
ty attorney, Albert Johnson of
Sandstone, and Michael B. Hurley
of Pine City, are likely to be the
nominees. Both are good men
and able to hold the position in

writes in his Kanabec County
Times of Mr.. Stark as follows:

The Republican nomination for
state treasurer is being contested by
four candidates, including Edward
w. Stark, the present state treasurer,
who was appointed by Governor
Cnrlstfanson year ago to succeed
Henry Rines, the latter having re-
signed to accept the Craftsmanship
OF the governors Economy Board"
OFFICIALLY known as the Commission
OF Administration and Finance. He
is the only candidate for state treas
urer who has publicly endorsed the
governors economy program. We
nave heard OF no good reason why
Mr.. Stark should not receive the nom
ination. His experience in public
affairs covers a period of twenty-five
years. He served in the legislature
four years, following which he became
judge of probate of Chisago county
through appointment by Governor
John A. Johnson. He held this position
fifteen years, resigning in April, 1921,
to accept an appointment upon the
State Securities Commission rendered
him by Governor Preus. He bears the
unique distinction of having been APP
pointed to positions of responsibility
by three different governors, which
is a testimonial that ought to appeal
to the average voter. 1t may truth
fully be said of Mr.. Stark that he
has never betrayed the confidence
which these three governors have
placed in him. His public duties
have always been performed earnest
ly and conscientiously. His integrity
is beyond question. 1t is men such
as he that should be selected to fill
our state offices and Governor Christ
ianson showed good judgment when
he chose him to guard the states

take in confirming the governors

GOOD WORD FOR JOHNSON

Concerning County Attorney
Albert Johnson of Sandstone, who
is a candidate for reelection, the
home town paper, the Pine Coun-
ty Courier, writes as follows:
Albert Johnson, our present
county attorney is a candidate for
reelection. By reason of his past
experience as county attorney, he
is well qualified and will be able
to conduct that office with the
least expense and with the most
effectiveness. Experience and
knowledge in any line tends to
eliminate waste and needless ex-
pense and qualities man for
greater endeavor. Mr.. Johnson
is industrious and conscientious,
prompt and attentive to the duties
of his office and has unhesitating-
ly prosecuted criminal violations
without fear or favor. We elect
men to the legislature to make
our laws, and the county attorney
is elected for the purpose of en-
forcing those laws. When we
have officials who will do their
duty, they deserve the whole
hearted support of all loyal. and
law-abiding citizens of Pine coun-
ty and should be returned to office
to continue the good work"

places never sprouted. Meadows
do not, with the exception of al
falfa, amount to much of any
thing, and in some cases farmers
have already been compelled to
turn the cows into the meadows,
or sell them-at market prices.
There is no moisture in the
ground to sprout fodder corn,
millet, sudan grass, or other
roughage that might be sown
and provide for fall and
winter roughage. The condition
right here in Mcleod and adj
joining counties where we are
more fortunate than. are people
in other less fortunate spots, is
really serious. Farmers are fac
ing the prospect of selling their
cows, and many herds have cost
and are worth real money, if rain
does not come soon to provide
some kind of feed Hutchinson

FOR THE GOOD OF THE
WHOLE COUNTRY

A recent estimate of federal
census shows that the big cen
tiers of population like New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit,
Boston, St Louis, Los Angeles,
and many other cities of a million
population or over are constantly
increasing In population.
1t is likely the ambition of all
municipalities to grow but it is
a question if it is the most
healthy condition when cities be-
come so large. Would it not be
far better if there were many
more smaller industrial centers
throughout the country-say CT
ties of from 10000 to $4,000 in
habitants? Quarters as a rule are
not so cramped in cities Of less
than $4,000 as they are in places
of one to five million inhabitants.
Folks get closer to nature in the
smaller places, they have gardens,
more parks, more breathing
space, all of which is natural and
is as it should be. There is no
use of examining the bulk of
money, industry and people into
New York, Chicago, Detroit, and
a few other places. We have
plenty of natural water power
nearly all over this vast country.
All we need do is to harness the
streams and dot the map with
smaller industrial centers.
There is too much of a tenden-
cy to centralize nowadays. It
is of vital Importance to the well
fare of the country as a whole
that also the smaller villages and
community centers be kept intact
and prosperous. Catalog houses
of the big cities have made big
inroads on many smaller villages,
although the condition is not bad
locally. The way to meet cata-
log competition is to meet them
on the same grounds. One bust
ness place in Askov- the Askov
Garage done this by going
on a cash basis. The catalog
houses have the cash before the
goods are shipped out and that
makes a big difference over the
credit system at the end of the
year. They have no losses on
bad accounts, no bookkeeping ex-
pense, no credit department, and
save in many places through this
system. It likely costs about 5
per cent to do credit business
and those who sell on time have
that handicap to overcome in
meeting catalog competition.
Folks as a rule do not care to
trade, away from home. IF they
can get the right goods at the
right prices from the home
merchants they are loyal and will
get it there.
More cash business and up-to-
date methods will be a big boon
to the smaller villages.

GOV. CHRISTIANSON
DRAWS GOOD CROWD
Picnic Arranged by Pine County
Farm Bureau at Pine Lake Last
Thursday Attended by Over
1000 People.

The. annual farmers picnic of
Pine county was held last Thurs
day, the 10th, at Harty's Lodge
at Pine lake under the auspices
of the Pine County Farm Bureau,
w. F. Hammdrgren, county agent,
officiating: as master of ceremon-
les.
The day was ideal, there was a
large crowd of farmers present,
208 cars were counted as we'll
as some of the county officials
and others who would like to be,
and the address of the day was
delivered by Governor Theodore
Christensen on the budget sys-
tenn now in use in this state and
the methods employed by the
present state administration in
it's fight to reduce the burdens
of taxation. The Governor was
at his best and thoroughly at
home in the discussion of his
theme. He asserted that while
taxation had increased in many
other states since he became gov
ernor, and that while it would
not be definitely known the
amount that had been saved to
the state through the present adj
ministration until the end of the
biennial period, it could be posi-
lively asserted that the saw
ing is of an important mag
nitude and that the rise in
public expenditures in this state
had been stopped. The Cover
nor was late in arriving from
Chisholm owing to long detours
and the condition of the roads,
not reaching the platform until
nearly four o'clock in the after
noon. The crowd after having
partaken of bounteous lunches
from the crowded lunch baskets
enjoyed themselves good ma
turedly and patiently. Mr..
Hammargren had prepared a SER
les of athletic events which con-
sumed a good deal of the waiting
time and served as added enjoy
ment to those present.
At the close of the Governors
address, Senator Larson entertain
ed the Governor, his wife, visiting
officials, and others at luncheon at
Mr.. Harty's Lodge. The occasion
was very enjoyable one.
The following sport events were
carried out under the guidance

 A complete Probate Code, as the present laws do not protect wives with community pro- perty provisions; do not afford sufficient pro- lection to heirs and benefciares of wills and are unreasonably expensive and cause exploita- ton of estates.
 Strengthened Primary Election Laws, in op- position to the old and corrupt proxy-conven- tion nominating system with enactment of statutory provisions to protect Primary, Special and Municipal elections against fraud, by pro- viding for criminal prosecutions and punishment.
 The building of Roads and Trails, that will tend to the greater development of the re- sources of the Territory
 Adequate appropriation for old-age pensions, destitute children and old pioneers.

 Fourth Division
 John W.. Dunn is running for reelection to the Senate. He made fine record there and should be returned He is progressive, inde- pendent and fearless He is opposed by George Moody, man who drunk most of the time during the last session where he served as member of the House.
 In the House. The key man in the Fourth Division is H. H. Ross He, as chairman of the Ways and Means committee, got the large ap- propriations for the College of Alaska in Fair banks. He is progressive and fearless. Those citizens in the Fourth who do not know for whom to vote, should look to Mr. Ross for ad- vice. Men who will work with him should be supported. Men who fight him should be de- feated because the record of MT. Ross is so splendid and so patriotic that citizens are safe in following his leadership.
