son, from the Northeast Experiment

hibits.
A tug of war between those living
on the east side of the railroad track
and those living on the west side

are the recipients of the choice dip
lomatic posts. The cost of keeping
up front" as an ambassador is far
in excess of the modest salary given
by the American government.
Party tacticians are giving careful
study to methods of attack. Conserv-
alive leaders are mindful of COM
ment of Lord Bryce on Presidential
campaigns and attempt to avoid "er-
rors which are capable of being mag
nified into offenses." One of the main
problems is to keep over-zealous Sem
ators and minor politicians from max
ing unauthorized statements. AS an
illustration of the simple faith of
propagandists in small and ostensibly
Insignificant items is the latest photo
graph of the President posing with
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and
the Republican candidate, Mr.. Hoover.
The. layman would never consider
such a photograph as vote-getter,
yet this week the opinion was ex-
pressed that the reproduction of the
photograph of the big three of the
G. o. p" would have a wonderful eff
feet on the voters. Curiously the same
photograph taken a few months ago
would be lust another picture" of
little psychological value. Politics
apparently stirs the imagination at
certain times.

of their play in the tourney at Lex,

on the diamond, they were pitted
against the strong Springfield team
who proved to be the runner-up in the
tournament. The Mora aggregation

and fourth innings but could not hold
it against the strong competition put
up by their neighbors to the west
The game ended by a score of to 2

after investigation, the coroner OF
Hennepin county pronounced it an ac-
cidental drowning. Mr.. Carlson had
made his home in Minneapolis with

"An American Saga" the autobi-
ography of Carl Christian Jensen,
who in this much-discussed volume
has recorded the transformation of a
Danish immigrant into an American,
is one of the forty books selected by
the American Library Association as
outstanding non-fction works." The
book is chosen not only because of its
highly original style and construction
but also because of its value as a
factor in the Americanization process.
''The New Temple"
Last year Johan Bojer, one of Nor
ways most prominent fiction writer's,
published a novel, "Det nye Tempel",
which, in a measure, reflected his
view on life, philosophy and religion,
and which has attracted good deal
of interest in many European coun-
tries. Announcement is now made
by the Century Co., New York, that
the book was published a few days
ago in an American edition, entitled
1.-The New Temple" In the announce
ment it is said that this book is a
sequel to the authors 1.-The Great
Hunger" of which $4,000 copies have
been sold in the United States alone.

MANY FETED
KORN KLOVER
Cong. Goodwin Spoke; Band
Concert, Baseball Game
and Dance. Held Atten-
ton of Crowd During the
Day.

The annual Korn and Klover Karni-
val that was staged at Hinckley last
Thursday was attended by the usual
fair sized crowd and was a full day
of merriment for those who were pres
ent. Appropriate decorations OF corn
and clover were to be seen all over
town at the various business places,
booths, and along the streets, and
these gave an added touch of signifi-
canoe to the situation and constantly
reminded those present of their be-
ing in a place where these two pro-
ducts so abundantly abound.
CONGRESSMAN Goodwin Speaks.
The speaker of the day was Con-
gresham Godfrey G. Goodwin of Cam
bridge, who dwelt upon legislation
and other current topics, speaking
from the band stand opposite the
school house where the Kroschel band
under the direction of Mr.. Folsom had
previously entertained with number
of selections.
The congressman was introduced by
Geo. w. Empey who said that the
Korn and Klover Karnivals had been
celebrated in Hinckley annually for
the past twenty years with but few
exceptions.
Dwelling upon farm relief legisla-
ton, Mr.. Goodwin stated that there
are 100000 farmers in the United
States and approximately 30,000,00O
people live on the farms in this coun-
try. Congress appropriated a $780,
0OO, 900 subsidy to the shipping indus
try and has passed legislation favor
able to manufacturers, railroads. and
labor and therefore it would be no
more than fair that legislation favor
able to the agricultural interests be
passed, said the speaker. While he
has voted for the McNary-Haugen bill
and believes it should be tried, Mr..
Goodwin, however, stated that in his
own opinion the only efficient way to
get at farm relief is to put more tar
Tiff on farm products.
The tariff, for instance, on potatoes,
he stated is soc per hundred pounds.
Canada with it's big acreages and
cheap labor ships into the United
States annually thousands of carloads
of potatoes. The same holds true OF
rutabagas where the tariff is 1212
cents per bushel.
The congressman stated that the

Finlayson Man Shows
Novel Wolf Hunting

Gregory Buggie demonstrated
recently that he knows a thing or
two about hunting wolves when
he, accompanied by Rex Rogers,
was driving along the road near
the Twait farm last Saturday
night came upon a large wolf
which started down the road
at a brisk pace. Gregory stepped
on the gas and gave chase, real
izing the opportunity of collect
ing some easy money. Two
wheels of the car passed over
the wolf and with the help of
hammer that was carried in the
car, he soon made short work Of
the animal. Sunday the boys ex-
hibited their catch before the
town clerk in Kettle River and
made application for bounty.
OF course this plan of killing
wolves would not be advisable as
the rarity of a chance of this
kind would make the vocation
quite an expensive one.

Washington, September 19.-POli-
tics and the vagaries of political life
create a real problem for real estate
operators in Washington. The leases
in the District of Columbia are usu-
ally drawn from October 1, which is
moving day" here. Consideration is
now given to the fact that an entirely
new administration, either Hoover or
Smith, will come into power March 4,
and official Washington will be topsy-
turvy again. The patronage system
so important to politics, will be placed
in operation so that the party house
cleaning will mean the return of
hundreds to their home states after
their forced retirement from public
office. The uncertainty makes it diff
cult to sign long leases when the No
vember vote will probably change the
perspective.
Though the office-seekers are al
ready establishing contacts in the
Hoover and Smith camps as a fore
runner to patronage, it is expected
that the leaders will be swamped by
demands for places on the Federal
payroll A research agency reports
that the President Of the United
States appoints approximately 10000
persons a year, with the concurrence
of the Senate. The chief prizes are
cabinet portfolios with assignment to
posts as ambassadors next in demand.

Increase in Flax Tariff

Governor Christensen wired to
President Coolidge yesterday for him
to use his power and increase the
teriff on flax so per cent Christian
son added that unless immediate &C
tion is taken, the speculator would
get the benefits.
The governor advised Coolidge that
the farm conditions in the Northwest
made it necessary that he use his
power to raise the duty on flax so
per cent to partially offset the low
potato and wheat prices which the
farmers are forced to take.

DIG POTATOES NOW
ADVICE OF RUSSELL

D. r. Russell of the Albert Miller
and Company carlot potato distribut-
ors of Chicago, was in Askov Wednes-
day and in talking to a representa-
tive of the American advised that it
would be a very good thing if the
farmers who have potatoes in the
ground, would dig them as soon as
possible. in order to get them out of
the wet ground.
Mr.. Russell is an expert in his
profession being employed by this
large potato company as travelling
Representative and has made an in
tensive study of the potato industry
from all angles. In explaining the
potato situation, Mr.. Russell said, at
seems to be the general opinion
among the farmers that the potatoes
have the late blight, but while there
are some cases of this disease, it is
not generally so. but is known as wa
ter rot, caused by the excessive rain
fall during the past few weeks" Mr..
Russell also advised that if the pota-
toes are dug now and left in open
pits or piles until thoroughly dry
before covering or being stored away,
this defect can almost entirely be
done away with. But on the other
hand, if the spuds are allowed to re-
main in the ground, the continued
contact with the wet ground will
gradually rot them until the crop and
quality will be greatly affected.
There are a few farmers digging
their potato crop already and upon
being asked if the potato was suffici-
emily matured to insure keeping, Mr..
Russell answered in the affirmative.
