OUTLINES SIX METHODS
TO MAKE LAND PROFITS
w. Burke Harmon Gives Points to
Make Money in Realty
Operations.

w. Burke Harmon, New York realty
operator, recently issued categorical
list of six points for making money in
the real estate field. Summed up from
the viewpoint of the home owner, they
are as follows:
Buy only property with improvements
Installed, in the direct line of popula-
tion growth Hold on to it long enough
for its value to mature: it is seldom
that land can be advantageously sold
as soon as other securities. Finance
the purchase with your own money, not
funds subject to recall at some inoppor-
tune moment. Keep some funds in
reserve for taxes, mortgages, assess
nnents and interest: the first cost in
real estate is not the last. Secure we'll
grounded knowledge of population
trends, neighborhood developments and
probable city growths. Recognize the
difference between real facts and good
advice, the opinions of friends may be
wrong

Special Dispatch to The star.
CHICAGO, May 12-The wheat mar

The Department of Agriculture made
the indicated yield of Winter wheat

Butter Situation More
Satisfactory than Week Ago
Egg Production Declines Sharply
Poultry Market Unsteady
Butter Showing Decrease

Butter production is showing a
decrease under last week, also last
year. This shortage of fresh re-
ceipts on the consuming markets
has brought about good move
ment of storage stocks and the sit
uation generally has shown i'm
provefnent.
The Chicago market on 80 Score
Standards today is 46 ga cents
New York 90 Score Extras are SO
cents.
The supply of fresh eggs is light
necessitating increased withdraw
ais of storage stocks. The market is
steady, but storage selling values
are not yet equal to costs of stor-
age stocks.
Chicago egg market today on
firsts is quoted at 40 cents. New
York frsts are 81 to 38 cents.
During the past week, the live
poultry market in New York has
shown considerable fiuctuation, due
to several causes. Later an ad-
justment of prices was made. The
market is steady and future quo
tations will depend upon the avail
able supply.

Northland Bus Catches
Fire Tuesday morning
Sank Centre VOLUNTEER Department
Subdues Blaze with Only Nom
inal Loss

About eleven o'clock Tuesday
morning the local fire department
was called to the north side of the
river to extinguish a fire in the
motor of a Northland transporta-
ton bus. The bus somewhat heat
ed had just pulled out from the
Palmer House bound for Bemidji.
At the Main street bridge the
engine back fired which ignited
the flame. Verl Neal working at
the bridge noticed the peculiar ac-
ton of the bus as it crossed the
bridge and with a shovel rushed
to it as it stopped just off the
north side of the bridge. He had
shovelei but one or two shovelfuls
of sand on the burning motor.
when the vacuum tank exploded
emitting a blanket of flames and
smoke, which burned his face
considerably. Nearby residents
felt the conclusion of the explos-
ion very distinctly in their homes.
More than dozen passengers were
in the bus at the time but es-
capped uniniurei with their baggage
as the fire did not reach the inside
of the vehicle. An extra was
summoned Immediately from St.
Cloud and the run to Bemidji was
resumed in a short time.

Deer to be More Numerous
| This Season, Say Experts
Sank Centre Nimrods Are Pouring
Into the North Country to
Try Luck

Hunters going after deer dur
ing the 11-day season opening in
Minnesota Saturday will find as
many as two years ago and per-
haps more, according to reports
reaching the state game and fish
department.
While shooting deer is prohibit
ed in ten counties and restricted in
two others, conditions, the depart
ment reports, have been favorable
for the animals since the last open
season in 1926.
AS usual most of the hunters will
go into northern Minnesota, par
ticularly to st. Louis, Koochiching,
Itasca, Lake, and Cook counties.
And judged by the number of re-
quests for information reaching the
department, the number may be
larger than ever before.
A hunter is limited to one deer
during the season, the last day of
which is November 90, except in
Itasca county, where a further re-
striction is in effect and bucks
alone may be taken. The one buck
provision has been in effect in
! that county previously, and is con-
tinued by order of the governor at
the request of residents.
The season is closed on deer, al
$50 by executive order, in Clay,
Douglas, Houston, Morrison, Red
wood, Renville, Todd, Wabasha,
JLnipopo o-l vo11o,, Msl;.:- !.
counties. Part of Mile Laos
county is closed also.
By law, use of dogs artificial
| lights, traps, set-guns and snares is
prohibited, and big game hunt
! ing license must be used. For re-
sidents of Minnesota the permit
costs So. while nonresidents are as
sessed $50.
After a deer is killed, coupon
which goes with the permit must
be attached. A metal seal, OBJ
tanned with the license and costing
25 cents, must be affixed before
the carcass is transported. The seal
bears the license number of the
owner.
Moose, caribou, and elk are
protected, and taking these ami
mails is prohibited throughout the
state.
It is understood about 100 Sank
Centre men have taken out IL
censes. The veteran of them all is
James j. Jenkins, who began
shooting deer in this section over
half century ago.

Armistice Service at

Legion and Auxiliary Members
Will Attend-Special Music
and Sermon

Recognizing the importance
of the American Legion and
the Auxiliary in the work of
the community, state and ma
ton, the officers of the Epis-
copal church, of this city,
feel that these organizations
should receive some special
recognition.
In accordance with this
thought a special Armistice
day service has been arrang-
ed for Sunday, Nov. 18th, at
the Church of the Good Sa-
maritan. Rev. Earle Jewell
has extendedlan invitation to
the members of Robert James
Swift Post Legion and @Auxil-
larry to attend in a body. The
invitation has been accepted
and these organizations will
meet at the city hall 10:45 a.
m. and march to the church.
The service will commence
at IL o'clock forenoon, and
will embody special music by
the choir, solos by Fay Cooper
and a fitting sermon by the
Rev. Jewell.
Everyone regardless of
church affiliation is invited to
attend this service, which is
the first of its kind to be held
in this city.
The pastor of the church
also extends an invitation to
the members of all other pa
triotic organizations such as
the G. A. R., w. R. c., and
the National Guard.

HOOVER WINS IN ALL
BUT EIGHT STATES
Gov. Smith Democratic Can
didate, Most Badly Defeat
ed in History
SOLID SOUTH BROKEN
President Elect will Have 444
of 531 Votes in the Elec-
tOral College

With results so astounding as
to be almost unbelievable the PEG.
pie of the nation elevated Herbert
Hoover into the Presidential chair
at Tuesdays election.
Indications are that in excess OF
36,00O,000 Americans exercised
their right of suffrage, a very large
majority of them being found in
the Republican column.
For short time after returns be-
gan to come in early Tuesday eve
ming the supporters of Gov. Smith
were hopeful. The New York
city count was completed about
1000 p. M, and gave Smith a
lead of 100000. This looked like
a magnificent start on the road to
victory, but the experienced OBJ
server of the situation in the En-
pire State commended that if Gov.
Smith was to carry his home state
Greater New York must give him
a majority of 100000. By mid
night the 100000 had been wiped
out and Hoover gaining steadily.
His majority in the Empire state
will be well over 100, 600.
The radio audience followed the
votes of the southern and border
states with unusual interest. Flor
ida, always Democratic, showed
Hoover strength early in the count,
little later the Smith lead in Vir-
ginia, the home of Democracy, be-
gan to jwindle, and the lone Star
state of Texas was showing shock
ing Hoover tendencies while the
Democratic candidate for Governor
was leading his opponent by about
10 to 1.
North Carolina was said to be
fighting ground for both candi-
dates. When the first half of the
state reported Gov. Smith had a
lead of about 10000; this ad-
vantage was swept into the discard
by the tidal wave of Hoover votes.

Tennessee, Missouri and Oklahoma
