matte dynamite, at least from the
Chilean standpoint and there has been
fear of hostile demonstrations against
the United States if the report is
made public and approved.
The political clairvoyants of the
country are still in a quandry as to
who will be the Republican nominee
for President. Many of the old
timers around Washington, who have
been forecasting the outcome of po-
litical affairs for many years, are of
the opinion that the possibilities Of
Mr. Coolidge's denomination are de-
clining. Speculation is now revolv-
ing around Secretary Hover, Governor
Lowden, and Vice President Dawes.
Mr.. Hughes and Speaker LOngworth
are also being considered, not as ac-
tive possibilities, but rather as COM
promises in the event of deadlock.
The political authorities of the coun-
try know that something is expected
of them, and they do their best to
look wise and brood on things to
come. No theory is too subtle or
far-fetched to get a hearing. A fa-
vorite one is to link up nominations
and elections with the stock market,
or quotations on copper or steel. This
lends an air of FEASIBILITY to such
political reasoning, but obviously it
is impossible to predict the state of
trade next June as it is the choice of
candidates at that time by the two
great political factions.
The President is being urged by
many of the advisability of calling a
special session of the senate early in
October to clear up the question of
the eligibility of Mr.. Frank L. Smith
of Illinois, and Mr.. William S. Ware
of Pennsylvania, senators-elect, to &C.
cupy seats with that body. Many of
Mr.. Coolidge's advisors here are of
the opinion that such special ses-
sion is absolutely essential if all the
important business on the calendar
is to be cleaned up before Congress
adjourns the latter part of May for
the presidential nominating conven-
tiais. However, Mr.. Coolidge has
made no statement regarding his
plans for an early session of Congress.

Interesting Items Concern
ing People From the
North.

Announcement was made last week
that "Svenska-Amerikans Posten"
in Minneapolis has purchased "Sven-
ska Folkets Tidning", and that the
two Swedish-American papers thus
have followed what seems to be a
present-day trend in the newspaper
world in this country, namely that
of consolidation. "Posten" has for
some time past found itself in a maze
of difficulties but now energies, it
seems, from all it's vicissitudes strong
er than ever. This paper which for
some time conducted it's business
from rented offices, has moved back
to its own quarters, the Posten Build

Dates are Sept. Is to IT,
Music by Two Bands

The Pine county fair at Pine City
will be held next week, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday, September Is
to II. Advance reports from the fair
management state the program ar
ranged for this year should be, by
far, the best ever given at the Pine
county fair, especially the night show.
Secretary w. S. McEachern says
that the big feature of the night show,
the artillery battle to be staged by
Battery E of the 125th Field Artillery,
is a novel feature such as rarely ever
seen, and something entirely new for
a county fair. Four big 3-inch guns,
battle and close to 100 rounds of blank
ammunition will be fired by the guns
each night. The fair management
has engaged the services of a fire.
works man who has worked out a
program for the battle with Capt.
Jorgensen, commander of the battery,
and special bombs are being made
to represent the exploding Of shells
and to be used at the finish of the
battle, for the laying over of the
barage.
Capt. Jorgensen will try to repro
duce an actual scene in warfare,
using the entire battery with all the
equipment, including the horses with
the men mounted. The battery will
enter the infield, in front of the grand
stand, and go into position for firing,
just as they would on the battle front.
The battery will also perform in the
afternoon in mounted maneuvers and
fancy mounted drill and also stage a
military Harvesting and firing contest.
Fireworks Program.
There will be a gorgeous fireworks
display both Friday and Saturday
nights, following the artillery battle.
A number of exceptionally good free
acts will also be given in front of
the grandstand, both afternoon and
evenings, including casting act by
the Three Harpers, a regular state
fair attraction seldom seen at county
fairs.
Good Racing Program.
The fair association is a member
of the American Trotting Association,
this year, and all races are being run
under A. T. A. rules. A number of
fast horses have already entered for
the races and good program is as
sured.
Dancing Two Nights.
There will be dancing in the Fair
Way pavilion on Friday and Saturday

he received an invitation to visit
Sweden next time he comes to the
Old World. 1t so happened that the
king of the Swedes was at Baden
Baden at the same time, and during
conversation extending over an hour
he invited the executive of the Amer
lean metropolis to come to Stockholm
to give the Swedes his judgment on
municipal problems. The mayor i'm
mediately accepted and reciprocated
with an invitation to King Gustav to
visit New York which the monarch
said he would be delighted to do if
he found time. 1t was at the request
of the king that the conversation was
brought about.
"HarmOnien"s Next Voyage.
1t is generally known that the
Danish "Harmonien" singing society
of Chicago, is planning to tour Den
mark in 1929. This organization
made a similar tour in 1924, and Co
penhagen newspapers are now recall
ing that of all singers who had come
to Denmark from foreign shores none
had been more welcome than those
of "Harmonien'. One reason for
their popularity was the fact that all
revenues in excess of the actual ex-
penses were donated to public charity
funds in the cities where concerts
were given. From Chicago comes the
announcement that the 1929 tour will
comprise 3S singers.

In the Stock Market
tBy Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Nov. There have
been no occurrences over the week
end that should place the market
in any less favorable position from
that recently prevailing. Making
allowance for all that has been I'M
favorable in business conditions, if
one looks ahead and asks why bust
ness should not improve, why there
should be & continued delay in trade
revival, the answer is hard to find.
The reason for the late recession is
also difficult to explain. No two
persons seem to agree. If, there
fore, there is no outstanding OBJ
vious reasons it resolves itself into a
psychological attitude state of
mind-which can be but a passing
phase. If there were something
fundamentally wrong, it would be
on the tip of every ones tongue. In
the meantime pressure of invest
ment demand will disregard these
temporary movements. believe it
is time to buy good stocks.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov 7.-Generally
bullish news caused a sharp rally in
all grain futures on the Chicago
Board of Trade today and prices
were considerably above Saturdays
close.
Wheat was lower at the opening,
but reports of heavy snow in the
Canadian Northwest soon boosted
prices. Later Argentine reports of
frost and rust caused a further ad-
vance, and although some profit
taking brought prices slightly lower,
the advance was held we'll. Receipts
were fifty-siX cars and cash prices
were unchanged.
Corn went higher on reports of
snow over the belt, and prices we're

other grains and were fractionally

about $4O0,OO0,0O0 instead of $780,
100000, as Wall Street had antici-
pated, was the important construc-
tive development over the week end.
Another bullish feature OF the
program was the 31s per cent rate
fixed for the Mellon offering which
emphasized the lease of money
conditions.
These factors brought further
buying in early dealings into stocks
whose yields are attractive in rela-
ton to the money market. Atchison
and New York Central reached new
high ground on the movement.
Leading industrials also reached the
best levels of the current recovery.
VigOr at Noon
Leading industrials gained in
creasing vigor on the recovery
around noon with steel furnishing
aggressive leadership. Strength was
followed by broadened buying.
Announcement that Sterling
products and United Drug were par
ticipating in merger negotiations
stimulated demand for shares of
merchandising companies in Similar
fields. Mrisk advances occurred in
Lehn & Fink, American Druggists
Syndicate, Lambert, American Home
Products and Household Products.
Moon Motors was an active fea-
ture of the low-priced motor class,
mounting to new high ground on
the movement at ga. Buying of the
stock was based on reports from the
factory that the company's new
models were receiving excellent re-
Spouse.
