MANY HUNTERS TRY
LUCK IN PINE COUNTY

Approximately three hundred Ii
censes for hunting game birds have
been issued from the office of the
county auditor since the opening of
the game bird season on September
Is. Besides this number, many Ii
censes have been issued by agents of
the county auditor.
Hunters report that chickens are
scarce but that there is fairly good
supply of ducks. Hunters should
bear in mind that the season for
quail does not open until October Is,
and they should also bear in mind
that it is unlawful to shoot game
birds in the village limits or from
the limits of any road or public high
way.
During the fishing season total of
2. 22S fishing licenses were issued in
Pine county.

DOES WELL WITH SHEEP

J. C. Hancock, former county COM
missioner in the Second district, and
now living in the Brook Park vi
cinity, has taken to sheep raising and
is making good at it. At the County
Fair he received first prize on a ram
and first prize on a flock of sheep.
He also did well at the State Fair.
Mr.. Hancock received a letter from
the secretary of the National Wool
Growers Department, American So
ciety of Equity, Inc, at Pennington,
Mimi, dated Sept. 18th, which reads
as follows:
Enclosed you will please find the
ribbons you won at the state fair.
The ribbons were turned over to me
by Mr.. Wheaton, but he did not turn
in a first for your half blood. l am
therefore enclosing the ticket in
stead.
You made a splendid showing and
it does credit to your breeding, Sc
lection, and care. Many of the young
er flockmasters of your locality
would do we'll to consult you and pro-
fit by your years of experience.
Thanking you for your loyalty to
the Pennington wool pool"

ON A MOVE
Between 60 and 20 Carloads
of Rutabagas Already
Shipped From Askov.
Some Blight is Found in
the Potatoes.

A number of farmers have hauled
potatoes to market the past week and
"a few carloads have already been
shipped out. The price in Askov has
been 90c per 100 pounds the last few
days. Some fields of potatoes have
been affected by late blight and the
buyers have been obliged to reject or
resort some loads. Louis Olsen, one
of the local buyers, says that if po-
tatoes were held a week or so after
digging it would give them a chance
to sweat out and the skin would tough
en-, thus making it easier to detect
the disease. A. Henriksen, another
buyer, made a trip to Cambridge the
other day and reports that the pota-
toes there are also affected by blight.
The same prevails at Sandstone and
Bruno and likely there is some blight
all over Pine county except on the
light and sandy soil. However, it
does not appear to be as bad as last
year.
Rutabaga shipping which usually
starts little ahead of potatoes has
been quite brisk at Askov, between
60 and 20 carloads having already
been shipped out from here this sea-
son. The prices have dropped from
two weeks ago and the local buyers
have been paying about $40 per ton
the past week.

BASS LAKE WINNER
IN SUNDAYS GAME
Weather Was Too Cold for Good
Base Ball.-Final Score, Bass
Lake Ii, AskOv FEATHER and
Son on Same Team.

But few baseball fans turned out
Sunday to see the game played be-
tween Bass Lake and Askov on the
Askov grounds as the day was cold
and the players-to say nothing of
the fans-had a hard time to keep
warm.
The playing was in keeping with
the weather as number of errors
were made, especially by the home
boys and they were not hitting nearly
as good as the Sunday before when
they played Beroun. The final score
was 13 to 7 in favor of Bass Lake.
Uffe Strandskov pitched the greater
part of the game in the absence of
the regular pitcher, Jens Hyldahl, and
did quite well, but lacked the sup
port. He was relieved in the last
couple of innings by George Clegg
when Carl Jensen went behind the
bat.
Bass Lake has a pretty we'll bal
anced team, there being no real weak
spots and they have a good record
for the season, having won eight out
of eleven games. They have some
thing a little unusual in their team
in that father and son are both play
ing-they being the Scheilers-the
father on second base and the son
pitching. Besides the II games young
Scheiler has pitched for Bass Lake
this season he has also pitched nine
games for other teams and has won
II out of the 20. The Bass Lakers
hail from west of Sandstone, right
near the Aitkin and Kanabec county
lines.
The score by innings in Sundays
game was as follows:
Askov -----------00O 101 O05- Z
Bass Lake --------004 021 312-13

Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden,
few days ago had their first direct
telephone conversation with the
United States; the voice of the Swe-

telephone to the United States, and
the experiments were reported to
have been entirely successful. The
Swedish officials who for some time
have been studying the British radio
stations, had just returned to Stock

of cooperation between England and
Sweden for obtaining regular trans

The Normanden, Norwegian news

a few days ago by it's owner, Professor
]. G. Halland, to the Amlund Pub
fishing Co., Fargo, N. D., the actual
transfer having taken place imme-

form of consolidation will be effected
between the Normanden and the vi

Washington, September, 21.-Each
days developments here strengthens
the conviction that issues will not be
lacking at the next session of Cong
ress. Concern is felt that these mat
tiers will become so numerous that
more important legislative matters
will not receive proper attention.
During the summer months it was
difficult to provoke conversation on
anything other than the Presidents
intentions regarding the re-nomina-
tion. Now you can find willing con-
versationalists on tariff, flood relief
legislation, Federal Reserve banking
policies, the Panama Canal, crops,
congressman, candidates for the
Presidency and their booms, tax re-
duction, patronage, committee assign
ments in the Seventeen Congress, and
a hodge-podge of political topics.
With this assorted program it does
not seem reasonable that the session
will be quiet, orderly and effective.
A decade has passed since the af-
fairs of the Federal Reserve system
were seriously considered by the
legislative body. Occasionally one
Senator, known for his verbosity,
would revive the issue, but it seldom
went beyond the pages of the Con-
gressional Record. The resignation
of Governor Crissinger and the con-
flict on fiscal policies takes the mat
{or hof tho ont 0f hn
sectional class. The claim is made
that the controversy over re-discount
rates will bring to the fore the ques-
ton of dangerous concentration con-
troll of money and credits.
1t is generally agreed that a spec
ial session to handle the Mississippi
flood relief Legislation would be help
full Yet the leaders are skeptical as
to the effectiveness of special gath
ering. The opinion prevails that the
legislators would not turn to the
serious business at hand but avail
themselves of the opportunity of talk
ing on current political matters and
deliberately throw the flood matter
over to the regular session in Decem-
Der. Hence, the reluctance of the
leaders to making the Senate and
House a forum for the political ora
tors ahead of schedule.
Few recognize lone pedestrian
walking on Sixteenth Street, approx
mately an hour after government de-
partments have closed for the day.
This quiet, reserved man, who car
ries his seventy odd years lightly and
with dignity, for many years known
as the third richest man, has become
a dominating political figure. An

Child Welfare Board, Attends
st. Paul Meeting.

The fourth annual Institute of So
cial Workers for Minnesota, held its
final session at the University Farm
School Wednesday evening of last
week, and it was pronounced by those
at the head of the organization to
be one of the most largely attended
and most successful thus far in the
series. l attended every session of
the Institute and was fortunate
enough to be enrolled in Section 1 of
Course A, conducted and organized
by Miss Elizabeth Yerxa of the State
Board of Control of Wisconsin, one
of the recognized authorities and
leaders in this kind of work in the
United States. Her subject was "Ele-
ments of Social Case Work." which
is the class of work required and
most necessary in rural districts like
Pine county. 1t is concerned with the
promotion and enforcement of all laws
for the protection of defective, il
legitimate, dependent, neglected and
delinquent children, and to cooperate
with Juvenile courts and all proper
child-helping and child-placing agen-
cies of either a public or a private
nature. The local board also is sup
posed to take the initiative in all
matters involving the interests of
such children where adequate pro-
vision has not already been made for
them. This field work is considered
to be of tremendous Importance by eX-

man of Henry Ford, has recently re-
turned from a brief business visit to
Denmark. his native country, and is
now in charge of the retooling of the
immense Ford plants in anticipation

type. Mr.. Sorensen thinks the re-
toOling will involve an amount of a
hundred million dollars. and, in ad-
dition, the plants will be expanded
so as to make it possible to double
the normal daily production which is
said to be about $500 cars. Is is
expected $1,000 cars of the new type
will be made every day as soon as
