Weather Cooled Ambition.

There will be no more baseball for
the fans of the Askov community is
the decree of those responsible for
the conduct of the Askov team. Two
weeks ago game was played on the
Askov diamond against Markville and
the players of both teams were handi-
capped with the cold that attended
the game. The game was to be re-
turned to Markville, but on account
of the lateness of the season, it is
thought best to cancel it for this
season and confine all efforts to
listening-in on the worlds series.
Askov had a fairly successful sea-
son this year and the boys are very
appreciative toward the fans for their
support. Next year it is hoped to
have real team in the field when
the Pine County league again resumes
play. Practically all the players have
signified their intention of being pres
ent when the first ball is pitched over

economists say. I'm any event prices
will be low, but it seems probable that
a larger total return for the whole
crop will be realized by. sorting and
discarding than if attempts are made
to market the lower grades. The
chances are that if this is done, ruin
Gus prices even for the better grades
will result"
The university men urge increased
attention to grading for another rea-
son. Minnesota potatoes are quoted
on the Chicago market at from Is to
20 cents per hundredweight less than
potatoes from neighboring states.
This difference is due principally to
difference in grading" the staffmen
say. eff Minnesota potatoes graded

TRUCK AND FORD IN
HIGHWAY SQUABBLE

Another accident occurred on the
highway last Saturday afternoon
through the apparent, carelessness or
misjudgment of the driver of truck
in ascertaining whether he had ample
time to pass the Ford before another
car, which was coming, arrived on
the scene. A like accident resulted
last week from the same cause, also
on Highway No. 1 and only a few
miles distant from where this one
occurred.
A Harlow truck going at high
rate of speed had overtaken new
Ford driven by the Peterson mechan-
ic of Hinckley and, in attempting to
pass just as another car came from
ir front, was forced to turn in be-
hind the Ford again and in so doing
crashed into the back. of it with such
force that both cars were damaged
considerably. The truck, which was
loaded with furniture, after hitting
the Ford, swerved across the road and
landed in the opposite ditch, carry
ing with it some badly damaged fur
niture. Both car and truck were dam
aged but no personal injuries were
reported.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Although the
United States senate is not in session.
it is exercising powerful influence
in the conduct of the Presidential
campaign. Recent events have
brought this fact to the fore. The
average citizen usually considers the
senate a place for debate and as part
of the legislative system. The ma
TONS fathers who drafted the Con-
stitution, however, provided the sem
ate with whip which senators do not
hesitate to use on all occasions. The
senate has the power of life and death
over political appointments. The
President of the United States can
only appoint to high office with the
consent of the senate.
Wonder is expressed that distin-
guished men whose party affiliations
are definitely known do not take a
more active part in the current pol
itical campaigns. 1t is generally rec
ognized that their influence would
sway certain groups in favor of the
candidate whose cause they espouse.
Yet, search of the list of the cam
paign speakers issued by the major
parties shows that the nations bust
ness and industrial leaders refuse to
be publicly identified with the cam
paign. In instances where the pub
icity organizations have announced
that certain noted men were for their
candidates it will be noted that the

activity in behalf of the favored can
didate is usually confined to simple
Endorsement, as compared to the ag-
gressive campaigning of less import
ant individuals. If those in high
places cherish political ambitions
their experience in other fields has
taught them the wisdom of playing
a waiting game and keeping the num-
Der of enemies down to minimum.
There are various forms of party
service, the most effective of which
avoids the spotlight.
Washington has always been a hot
bed of political gossip. 1t now has
a choice morsel in the controversy
over the campaign methods of Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant
attorney general of the United States.
While it was expected that her meth
DDS would meet with objections from
Democrats, the protests which have
been coming into headquarters from
responsible Republican leaders are
cause for great concern in the Hoov-
er camp. An unbiased account of
the predictions that are going the
rounds in official Washington may be
briefly summarized in the comment
of veteran campaigner that Mrs.
Willebrandt has talked herself out OF
all hope for political preferment.'
Until Mrs. Withdrawals Ohio speech
es were made public, the feeling pre-
