CAMBRIDGE WINNER
AGAINST PINE CITY

Badly outweighed by team of con-
siderable experience, Pine City high
school football team went down to de-
feat before the Cambridge squad last
Friday on the Pine City field. In the
matter of weight, the Cambridge ele-
ven is the heaviest high school team
in this part of the state and this
fact coupled with their several years
experience, enabled them to score
heavily against the lighter Pine City
team. The weather was cold and a
light snow fell, but this seemed to
arouse the Viking blood of the Cam
bridge players all the more, for they
ploughed through the Pine City line,
pulled trick plays around the ends
and completed passes with ease and
rapidity. The score at the end of the
game was 50 to in favor of Cam
bridge.
The Pine City players fought gamely
however, and made their downs time
and again, but never succeeded in
working the ball across the Cam
bridge goal line. Cambridge has a
clean slate for the season, having de-
feated all their opponents by heavy
scores. They have a team which
is credit to their school and town.

ANOTHER RAILROAD
CASE is SETTLED
L. Weeden Gets Verdict of $4,000
Against Great Northern Rail-
way i'm District Court a
Superior Accident.

District Court continued in session
all of last week and with several more
cases to be heard, will probably be
busy for the rest of this week. An
other of the personal injury cases
growing out of the accident in Super
ior about year ago, when a Great
Northern train crashed into street
car, was tried and completed. This
case was L. Weeden VS.. Great North
ern Railway Company. For several
days the attorneys presented their
evidence in court and after a short
period of deliberation, the jury pre-
scented verdict in favor of the plain
tiff for $4,000 This adds another
large sum to the great price which
the railroad company must pay as a
result of that accident, in which four
persons were killed and many more
injured.

South st. Paul, Minn., Nov. s, 1927.
Offerings in the cattle division in
cluded several loads of warmed-up
steers that were salable around $11.5O,
while best grassers stopped at SLIPS,
bulk selling at $1,000 down. Most
of the fat cows cleared at $500 to
$3.50, heifers $500 to $3.50, cutters
largely S4.75 to $5.75. Bulk stocker
and feeder steers cleared at $3.50 to
$S.75, stock COWS and heifers $525
to $7.25. Good light vealers sold
mostly at $1,000 to $1,000.
An increase in receipts together
with lower news from outside markets
was responsible in depressing values
of hogs 25 TO 40c today. Most of the
desirable $50 to around 23O pound
averages brought 5000 to $685., with
hogs scaling 100 to around 10 pounds
at $3.50 to $8.75, sows mostly $7.75 to
$500. Pigs declined SOC, with bulk
light kinds at $500.
A better tone to dressed lamb and
mutton coupled with moderate runs
was partly responsible for a 25c boost
on fat lambs, placing bulk of these at
$12.75 to $13.75, heavies mostly $11.50,
and culls largely $3.50, these latter
being steady. Best ewes stopped at
$500, culls $500 to $3.50. Numer-
Gus range feeding lambs arrived and
sold from $3.50 to $13.25.

DRAWS
BIG AUDIENCES
The Womanless We'd
ding" is Well Received at
Sandstone. Several Men
Pose as Women and Look
the Part.

"The Womanless Wedding" went
over big at Sandstone and was
greeted with capacity houses both
nights, Tuesday and Wednesday, at
the New Theatre
The play, in which there was about
20 characters taking part, was pre-
sented by the Sympson-Levie Co., of
Bardstown, KY, and under auspices
of the Community church. It was
ably directed by Miss Esther Dee
Ladwig, representing the SIMPSON
Levie Co., and the parts were acted
by local people. Miss Florence
Thalin furnished excellent piano ac-
compartment to the songs.
DIR. E. H. Bertels was good as the
stern butler and three other parts
that received the hearty applause of
the big audiences were Mr. Ikey
Rosenstein by Geo. Falconer Fashion
Plate by Guy Thorne and Flapper of
1927 by Emery Asklund. Herb
Johnson as the Brides Weeping
Mother, caused many a laughter and
Attorney Albert johnson as the Com
forting Father had much to do in
caring for "her". Sam Gjertson and
Fritz Gabrielson caused their share
of the fun as the Bad Little Brothers.
Mark Robey, we'll versed in the acting
of minstrel shows, did well as the
Negro Nanny and had difficulty in
quieting the Baby Sister, Albert Lar
son, who by the way was some baby"
and could be quieted only when he got
his big bottle of milk. Roy Yanke,
as Rastus, was of much assistance to
Nanny. Arthur Martin, as the
Village School Ma'am, sang a pretty
song. Mr.. Martin is a professional
singer and this part was very good.

WASHINGTON Letter
By v ODaley
- NpNu EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION SscuS

Washington, Nov. 9.-Those in po-
litical life are apprehensive that the
spy epidemic which has hit Washing
ton may be extended into their af-
fairs. The revelations resulting in
miStrial of the notorious Fall-Sin-
clair conspiracy case have left their
mark on the town. The fact that
this city was honey-combed with pri-
vate detectives spying on jurors and
public men and then having secret
service agents putting the spies I'M
der. surveillance is not without sig
nificance. With great issues Ringing
on votes, legislators realize it is some
times dangerous to fraternize with
men holding high places.
During the war the espionage sys-
tenn was at its height in the Capital
City, but at that time it was justified
and expected. The result was that
men in responsible positions were
cognizant of the risks of sociability
and did not talk unwisely. 1t is
believed that the oil scandal develop
ments will make certain congressman
suspicious and cautious about accept
ing invitations to gatherings. Haunt
ed by the spectre of scandal the So
cially ambitious wives may find it
difficult to persuade their husbands
to attend all affairs to which they
are invited.
Hearings on flood control legisla-
ton started here this week. 1t is
hoped that the suggestions of the var
ious groups can be adopted in a gen.
eral plan for the relief of the Mis-
sissippi area. Questionnaires were
sent out to the governors of 81 states
requesting data on flood conditions
in their regions for the guidance of
the flood control committee. There
is possibility that certain legisla-
tors will endeavor to 'tie-up power
projects with flood relief. Even
though it will imperil the early pass
age of appropriation bills by Congress
there are crusaders in politics who
stop at nothing.
The battle of monographs has
been renewed. Senator Borah of
Idaho has resumed his daily confer
ences with newspaper correspondents,
which is occasionally supplemented
by a prepared statement. The Idaho
Senator formerly confined his discus
sions to International affairs where he
was recognized as an authority, but
now he has turned his attention to
all subjects having a political trend.
Mr.. Borah is the only high official in
Washington who has himself inter-
viewed every day. 1t is interesting
to note that the President of the

COW TESTING ASSN
CHOOSES OFFICERS
Annual Meeting Of Northern Pine
County Cow Testing Associa-
ton at Kerrick, is Well At.
tended.-TO Continue Work.

The annual meeting of the Northern
Pine County Cow Testing Associa-
ton, held at Kerrick school house,
Saturday, Nov. 9Th, was well attended
by members and many interested far
mers. 1t proved to be one of the best
meetings held by the association.
County Agent Hammargren gave an
interesting talk on the cost of pro-
ducing butterfat. The figures were
taken from the Askov statistical route
of 1926. w. r. Barnett, president,
presided over the meeting and it was
voted to carry on the good work for
few more years. Several new
members were also signed up at the
meeting.
Election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: w. r. Barnett, president;
Lynn Anderson, vice president; G. A..
Ferguson, secretary treasurer. Victor
Swenson, Ben Street, and H. J. Berg
lund, directors. Hans Christensen is
the tester of the association and his
good work is appreciated.
The chicken dinner served at noon
by the ladies was very much enjoyed
by one and all.

PINE COUNTY GIRL
INJURED AT RACINE

Miss Bernice Schmidt, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Schmidt of Wilma
township, in. the Duxbury neighbor-
hood, and who has been employed in
Racine, Wis, of late, was quite seri-
ously injured when she fell from a
two story window one day last week.
No bones were broken but she SUI
stained severe rupture, dislocated
her back in several places, sprained
wrists and fingers and received many
bruises. Last reports are that she
is doing nicely and is expected home
when able to travel.

United States holds only two confer
ences a week with representatives of
the press.
There are others politically ambi-
tious who have taken tip from Mr..
Borah in an effort to break into head
lines with each issue. When they
find they cannot muster a corporal's
guard of news writers on these occa-
sions they resort to the prepared
statement, which is mimeographed
and sent out to every Washington cor
respondent. AS indication of the
growth of this wild scramble for pub
licity, count was made last week
and in one day ten legislators issued
statements on subjects ranging from
taxes to uprisings in foreign coun-
tries.
So many men inside and outside of
Congress are claiming the title of
spokesman for the farmers" that it
is difficult to determine just what the
agriculturists really want from Con-
gress. Despite the hubbub raised by
organized groups the conservative
both major parties feel that the rank
and file of farmers are not interested
in the numerous projects having their
origin in the minds of self-constituted
"spokesmen". Even the organizations
are split into factions and present
varying programs for legislative con-
sideration. The organized farm
groups know full well that their ex-
istence depends upon agitation and
the result is confusion.
Several advocates of farm relief in
the Senate and House have threatened
a filibuster against all legislation un-
til measure of benefit to agriculture
is passed. 1t is doubtful that the
party leaders would consent to such
drastic methods without a fight. The
equalization fee as provided in the
McNary-Haugen bill, which was We
toed by President Coolidge, is a
stumbling block for the farm groups.
The organized farmers are not the
only class to marshal their forces in
Washington. The business organiza-
lions have already launched nation
wide campaign for tax reductions and
to prevent the extension of govern
mental control over private industry.
The public utilities are particularly
concerned over the effect of the So
called Walsh resolution, which would
subject their affairs to government
supervision. The power interests are
also alive to the danger of harmful
legislation and are digging in for
hard winter at the Capitol. pi'

Mr.. Hansen who is reputed to leave
a fortune estimated at several million
