and drank all kinds of stuff from
ice water to beer, but still couldn't
keep cool. The ice man was happy
and so was the purveyor OF soft"
as well as of other drinks. Bathing
and boating and that sort of thing
were all the rage. Hammocks UNI
der the trees were eagerly sought
for and well nigh as eagerly de-
serted for some other spot erron-
eously supposed to be cool. In
fact, it is hot; that desvribes it
and one might as we'll let it go at
that. There appears to be no re-
lief insight, according to the
weather man.
Notwithstanding the extreme
heat there has yet been no harm
done to the crops. Rye and barley
are mostly cut, oats is coming along
nicely and wheat is doing we'll. AS
for the corn, just hear it grow.
This is great corn weather.

Some great catches are being

has chaperoned trio of St. Paul
gentlemen to Long Lake and other
lakes this week and the result has
been large catches of black bass.
On Tuesday the party came in
with over a dozen bass, the largest
one weighing seven pounds. The
gentlemen spent several days in
this vicinity trying their luck. They
are all expert anglers. Mr.. Carr
and Messrs L. E. Heifner and Ed
Hanson have made a number of
fine catches of bass at Long Lake
recently.
Some of these have been photo
graphed and put on postal cards to
use as advertising matter for Sank

A CERTIFICATE OF AMERICANISM

Months before Herbert Hoover became an &C
tive candidate for the Republican nomination TO
President whispering" campaign was starte
against him. Finding it impossible to "tie' an
questionable acts to his public private life, hi
Amercanism was insidousy attacked. AS his pop
ularity developed these attacks became more siren
uous and some of the Democrats went far, in thei
desperation to head off his nomination, to attack hi
Americanism the floor of Congress.
A recent editorial in the Minneapolis Journa
throws authentic light upon Mr.. Hoover's American
ism recognized by the late President Wilson. Tn
editorial follows.
Campaigners against Hoover who are
vainly trying to discredit him by insinuations
of British affiliations and preferences, might
well look into the records left by the man
whose memory they extolled above most 9TH
In the papers of Woodrow Wilson they
may find what is probably the earliest and
most authoritative notation on Mr. Hoovers
attitude toward Great Britain. 1t is memo
randum written by Walter H. Page, American
Ambassador to the Court of st. James, and
dated December 3d. 1916. Herbert Hoover
had then been at the head of the Belgian re-
lief work for more than two years. 1t was writ
ten, according to its opening sentence, mot for
the sake of the gentleman mentioned, but for
possible help to the President and the service"
1t urged attention to the value OF Mr. Hoover
to the State Department., and it described him
thus:
'He is probably the only man living who has
privately g. e., without holding office) ne
gotated understandings with the British,
French, German, Dutch and Belgian Govern
ments. He personally knows and has had di-
rect dealings with these Governments, and his.
transactions with them have involved several
million dollars. He is man of very consider
able fortune-less than when the war began,
for this relief work has cost him much"
So much for Mr.. Hoover's experience in in
ternational affairs, more than dozen years
ago. Now Mr.. Pages memorandum goes on:
"Mr. Hoover was approached on behalf of
the British Government with the suggestion
that if he would become British subject the
Government would be pleased to give him an
important executive post and with the hint
that if he succeeded, title might await him.
HIS answer w.s:
"1'll do whst can for you with pleasure,
but I'll be CANNED if I'll give up my American
citizenshp--not on your life!'
Within the last six months two large fnan-

cial organizations, each independently, have
offered him $100 900 year to enter their SER
vice, and an industrial company offered him
$780, 900 'to start with He declined them ALL"
That should dispose of the Democratic asper-
sion upon Herbert Hoover's Americanism, es-
pecially as it comes through channels that the
Democrats cannot question. Of course, it
won't-the assailants of character are not thus
to be silenced. But it cannot be gainsaid by
any honorable man that Herbert >Hoover's
Americanism is above approach.

WATERWAY NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESSING
SATISFACTORILY

When Herbert Hoover, Republican candidate
for President, visited Duluth for few hours last
week he discussed the St.. Lawrence Waterway pro-
ject freely with the citizens of the Zenith City,
Mr.. Hoover is admittedly of the worlds
greatest engineers. He has studied the Great Lakes
and the New York plans. He is thoroughly COM
mtted to the waterway idea and his investigation
has demonstrated to his mind that the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence plan is the only feasible route, both
from the cost of construction and the territory
which will be served.
On his Duluth visit he discussed the matter
with the Duluth Herald. The following is the Her
AIDS comment:
Herbert Hoover brought good news to Du-
luth about the st. Lawrence waterway.
He told The Herald that negotiations are
going along comfortably, that though there is
opposition in Montreal as there is in New York
it is being ironed out, and that this outlet from
the inland empire to the ocean will be under
way within four years.
That is good news indeed.
1t is good news to Duluth, which lies at
the head of navigation on the Great Lakes and
will lie at the head of world navigation when
the Great Lakes opened to the sea.
1t is good news to the farming sections OF
the interior, for it will bring them eight or ten
can possibly get under present transportation
conditions
1t is good news to the whole Central and
Middle West for it will break the handicap
now imposed upon this vast by the fact
that the Panama canal enables New York to
ship goods to the Pacific coast cheaper than
Chicago can ship them to either coast.

Enrolment for citizens military train

all parts of the country has set a new
record. To date the number of appli-
cations for admission Is 80, 9,899, an In
crease of $4,000 compared with the
same period of last year. OF the appli-
cations 22,39l have been accepted.
The 1st Corps Area, with headquar-
ters at Boston, was the first to COM
plete It's quota OF 5000 students, and
the 4th Corps Area, with headquarters
ceive Its objective of $500 applications.
In the Sd Corps Area, with head
quarters at Baltimore, and including
the District OF Columbia. Maryland,
Virginia and Pennsylvania, there have
been 5,345 applications and 2,746 ac-
ceptances. compared with 1888 appli-
cations In 1927. In Porto Rico 1900
applications have been received for Its

According to Adjt. Gen. Wahl the
increased and earlier enrolment for
the current year indicates that youths
from business houses and factories are
taking a greater interest In military
training. Heretofore high school and

least so per cent of the attendance at
the camps. He adds that In this corps

concerns grant their employees 30 days
leave with pay during their attendance
at the camps.
