PINE CITY HAS SPEED COP

Speeding autoists must now exer-
else some care and judgment while
passing through Pine City as the viii
lage limits are being patrolled daily
by a motorcycle policeman. Several
persons have been arrested and fined
since the policeman has been on.
Carl Holmberg is now acting as traf-
fic officer and is doing diligent work.
Judge Stephan will not hesitate to
impose fines regardless of station.
Last Saturday a speeding autoist was
hailed before the judge for speeding
and for passing two cars on street
intersections. = He demonstrated Wig
orously to the judge at being detained,
stating that he was working for Bah
cock, and made threats of having the
Judge removed from office for exceed
ing his authority. However, fine OF
ten dollars was paid and the autoist
went his way still murmuring his
threats.

FINE WEATHER AND CROWD
ATTEND inter- TOWN FAIR
Gov. Christensen spoke;
Band Concert, Singing,
Farm and Livestock Ex-
hibitS Take Place on An
nual Community Event.

The third annual Askov-Sandstone
supporters of those in charge had
wished for. 1t is the custom to hold
the fair alternately at these two towns
and this year, Sandstone was the en-
tertainers of the exposition. Live
stock exhibits together with poultry
and produce had their prominent
place in making the event the success
that it was. Although there was no
carnival for the kiddies of forty years
of age or over, as Toastmaster DR..
Dredge said, but nevertheless the pro-
gram, races, and exhibits more than
offset this. Several hundred people
saw the exposition this year and many
more would have been present if it
had not been for the inclement wealth
er that has been the lot of this section
during the past few days, thus caus-
ing some of the farmers to forsake all
opportunities of pleasure and attend
to work matters that have been so
delayed.
Governor Christensen Spoke.
Those present had the opportunity
of hearing the governor of Minnesota
give an excellent speech on the tax
alton problem, farm aid, and the st.
Lawrence-Great Lakes Waterway pro-
ject. The Governor intimated that he
was not present to make a political
speech, but was present to give the
people an honest and straightforward
presentation of affairs as they exist.
He predicts very favorable conditions
in the near future, intimating that the
people in this section as well as other
parts of the state were of the kind
and had the stamina to overcome any
obstacle that may be thrown in their
way. The Governor also gave sta
tistics to show that our state is the
premier dairy state in the Union and
said: There are S82 state banks in the
state of Minnesota with capital, sur
plus, and undivided profits aggregat-
ing in the millions, but nevertheless
this vast amount could be replaced
dollar for dollar by the dairy farmers
of this great state by milking their
cows and turning the proceeds over to
these banks for just fourteen weeks"
The dairy industry alone produced
$170,000,000 worth of products in 1927,
with poultry and potatoes coming in
with their share with S47,O0O,O00 and
$2O,O0O,0O0 respectively. Minnesota is
known as the Bread and Butter State
of the Union, the Governor intimated,
"and is fast progressing in the raising
the state ranking among the foremost
of the world"

the country, especially the thousands
of investors.
The officials of the Federal Reserve
Board in Washington receive no pub
licity for they are never directly
quoted and the average banker could
not offhand recall the name of the
chairman of this powerful fiscal agen-
cy. The rumors which circulate
through the financial districts of the
nation concern a panic which would,
they claim, have followed the un-
checked wave of speculation. The
enormous paper profits due to the as
cending values of stocks and bonds
would, it is argued, have reached a
breaking point and the bubble of high
prosperity bursted. The contention
is that the sudden deflation of major
corporation stocks, the inevitable
shortage of money and incidental fact
ors of stock markets would bring
about a condition bordering panic.
And, panics in Presidential years are
not the best indications for party in
power. Bankers coming to WASH
ington say that money will be tight
until the elections. That is cur
rent explanation here for the abrupt
ending of a frenzy of speculation
which reaches all people in walks of
life.
1t seems quite clear from an expose

Folks Enjoyed Annual
Visit at KerriCk Fair

The Community fair at Kerrick on
Saturday, which was their tenth an
nual fair, was attended by about the
usual number of people. The weather
was good except for rain late in the
afternoon, but it came so late that
most of the events were over and ii
did not cause a smaller attendance
Congressman G. G. Goodwin of Cam
bridge, who was visiting in the coun-
ty at the time, was called upon for
a few remarks as were also County
Agent w. F. Hammargren and j. E
Therrien of Pine City.
The baseball game between Oak
Lake and Kerrick was terminated in
the fifth inning on account of the
rain, the score being to in favor
of Kerrick. Art Lund did the twirl-
ing for Kerrick while Lewis Hogan
was on the receiving end. Nelson
and Berling did battery work fol-
Oak Lake.
A colored orchestra furnished mu.
sic for the dance and that was well
patronized in the evening, rounding
out the days festivities.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The Capital
City is noted for the languid attitude
it adopts toward political battles.
The average citizen in Washington re-
CARDS the hottest partisan scrap as
something necessary and turns an in
different ear to the turmoil and
strife. To the vote-getting organiza-
tions, there is nothing alarming in
this position for few of the $4,000
residents of the District of Columbia
are voters. The franchise is denied
this territory. Yet, the central Of
flee of one of the major political par
ties is directing nationwide activities
from here. Fortunately for the great
game of politics the folks in the
states are interested in their propo-
sitions.
At this time when the Presidential
contest is gaining in momentum, ev-
cry change of policy on the part OF
the government is subjected to the
closest scrutiny. The motive for the
change is sought in politics and &C.
casionally there is ample room for
suspicion. The absence of Congress
is the only factor that prevents a
wholesale investigation of the recent
orders of the Federal Reserve board
relative to re-discount rates which
has vitality affected the money mark
cts. The real answer to the new
policy would interest Wall Street and

INDEPENDENCE
IS CELEBRATED
The independence Fought
and Hoped for by Bohem-
ian People for 400 Years
Granted Following World
War.

The Bohemian people had a good
celebration at their hall, ~ miles
south of Denham, on Labor day when
they celebrated the tenth anniversary
of Czechoslovakia independence. The
principal speaker was Anton j. Tro-
Jan of st. Paul, who spoke in the
Bohemian language and dwelt upon
the hard fight that his people had
gone through for liberty since the
battle of White Mountain over 400
years ago when they lost their In
dependence. The character and great
leadership of their president, Thomas
G. Masaryk, was especially mention
ed. Other great leaders for the past
three or four centuries and whose
names were mentioned were: John
Hus, Karel Havlicek, Komensky,
Jungman, Shafarik, Dobrovsky, and
Palacky. These men gave their lives
for their country in fighting for free
dom against the rule and domineer-
ing of Austria-Hungary. After Mr..
Trojan's speech all joined in singing
the national anthem of the Slav peo-
pie. Joseph Suk, president of the
Sokol Union, presided at the meet
ing, and gave a good Introductory
speech concerning the meaning of
the day.
The late President Woodrow Wilson
also came in for warm words from
the Bohemian people as they give
him much credit for the securing of
independence for their mother coun-
try. A large monument has been
erected in Prague, the capital city
of Czechoslovakia, in honor of Mr..
Wilson. 1t was dedicated on July
4th, when they celebrated their tenth
anniversary of independence. The
largest railroad station in Prague has
also been named after the United
States war president. 1t was given
the name of Woodrow Wilson shortly
after the war.
Races of various kinds, rifle shoot
ing, and other sports occupied the
balance of the time during the aftat-
noon and in the evening a good So
ciable dance was enjoyed to which
music was furnished by the Nelson
twins The first prize in the shooting
contest was won by Tony Suk.

STURGEON LAKE
final CHAMPS
After Taking First Half
With Seven Straight, the
Lakers Come Back and
Cop Second in Extra
Game With Hinckley.

With two teams tied for first place
of the second half of the seasons
schedule, the Pine County Baseball
League terminated its season Sunday,
when Sturgeon Lake, champions of
the first half, and the Hinckley nine
crossed bats for the championship
tilt of the second half. The fray was
played on the Sturgeon Lake diamond
with Hinckley taking the aggressive
in the first frame, with four round
trips to the plate, while Sturgeon
Lake gathered only one.
The following frames were, however,
different than the first, for the Wis
itors were held to one score for the
remainder of the game, while the
Lakers were garnering total of
twelve TALES, thus making the final
count II to 8 in a decisive victory for
the Lakers.
Interesting sidelights of the fray
include the fine work done by the
shortstop of Hinckley, Mac Anderson,
pitcher for Sturgeon Lake, and Up
gren, who held down the center field
position for the Lakers.
Shortstop Nichols figured in
several of the most important plays
of the game together with a running
high jump that caused his glOved
hand to pull down what would have
otherwise been probably a two-base
hit. Time and again this lad helped
his pitcher out of tight places by his
excellent fielding.
Mac Anderson who relieved his
brother on the mound in the early
frames, held the Hinckley batters
scoreless and a few scattered hits.
Upgren who efficiently held down
the center field position in superb
style, picked up, what seemed to
be an impossible shoestring fly which
caused him to turn a complete sOmer-
sault in the attempt.
Walt Cunningham gathered dou-
BILE and two singles in four times at
bat.
True Championship Competitors.
The game took place between two
teams that were we'll qualified for the
positions which they held in view of
the fact that both had conquered the
| field against which they were pitted.
| gHinckIey showed their fighting
spirit throughout the season by coming
back after finishing the first half tied
for fourth place, to gain position
in the championship tilt for the Sec
ond half. They also started the Sec
ond half with two losses and then
showed their stamina and grit by
taking the remaining five games.
Sturgeon Lake finished this sea-
sons schedule in true championship
style by winning both halves of the
play. Their excellent batting was the
most important factor that helped to
net them the crown. Every man on

four Years Have Passed.

The ranks of the Hinckley Fire sur

ing the thirty-four years that have
passed since the great fire that almost
completely wiped out the little town
down-state. Only a few remain to at
tend the memorial services now and
these few held another of their ses-
sions last Saturday with appropriate
ceremonies at Memorial cemetery, af-
ter a business session at the 1. o. o. F.

Fire Destroys Town in 1894.
The fire that took a toll of Ais lives,
came upon the little town of Hinckley
accompanied by sixty-mile gale in
the summer of 1894, which was very
dry. Fires had been reported in var
ious surrounding communities, but the
people of Hinckley were hardened to
the situation until the fatal moment
when it was too late to flee. After
the fire had passed, those who sur
vived and those from surrounding
communities began the work of caring
for the dead. Two hundred forty
eight of the Hinckley residents were
buried in four trenches.
The fire covered an area of four
hundred acres and burned the villages
of Hinckley, Sandstone, Mission Creek,
and Brook Park.
The Memorial park at Hinckley con-
tains monument that was erected by
the state and dedicated September 1,
1900, to the Pioneers of Civilization
in the Forests of Minnesota This
was made possible through an act of
the legislature, approved on April z,
1899, and stands as silent token of
remembrance to those sturdy pioneers
who gave up their lives while carving
niche in the forests of Minnesota.

Pine County Wins
Second Place at Fair

Pine county took second place at
the State Fair this year finishing
close behind Meeker county which
won first place. Out of a possible
thirteen hundred points Pine county
secured only six points behind Meeker
county. The large silver cup thus
goes to Meeker county for permanent
possession. Matt Poferl again had
charge of the Pine county exhibit and
put forth every effort to win. He
had a wonderful exhibit of which
every Pine county citizen can justly
feel proud. Meeker county had a
fine exhibit of corn this year and it
was their strength in this department
which helped greatly to win the cup.

BROKEN ENGINE ON
NO. "a CAUSED DELAY

There was some conjecture among
the post office fans of Askev and we
presume all along the line Tuesday
as to the cause of the two hours and
thirty minutes delay in the 1928
p. m. mail from the south. Some
offered the opinion that a rail may
have broken while others just didn't
know, but were anxious all the same
for the mystery to be cleared. Depot
Agent Danielson gave the information
that a breakdown on the engine at
Coon Creek Junction just this side of
the Cities caused the delay and this
delay on No. "a would also react
on the schedule of the evening train
from the Twin Ports as the same
equipment is used on this returning
train.
