Stock market activities

Secretary of Commerce Lamont

that American business In
1929 will show no Stacking off
from the remarkable records
of last year.
While Lamont anticipated no Sc
rious crash in the stock market, he

but the underlying foundation Of the
business structure Is secure. Every
single Thermometer by which com
merce and industry are measured
point to a favorable situation.
There is no reason to believe
that this year will not equal or ex
ceed the business achievement OF
1925" s..
Foreign Trade Gains
Lamont is impressed with the
probabilities of greater domestic busi

ipated that exports and imports fot

Though there are signs that a real

nothing surprising in the public trib-

Sandstone Enterprise is GroaUing
Rapidly.-Over 1000 Birds

tenSiUe Trade.

Constantly growing and ever alert
to improvements, Arthur Halverson,
proprietor of HalversOn's Sanitary
Poultry Ranch at Sandstone, is busy
these days installing hot water sys-
TEN for brooding chicks. There is a
great demand by the public for chicks
that are from three to four weeks old,
and with this newly added equipment
Mr.. Halverson sass they will be able
to meet the demand.
Day-Old chicks Matched out i'm their
large incubator will now be removed
to the brooder room for a stay of
three to four weeks. The room will
have a temperature of 60 to 20 de-
grees and the brOoder about 80 de-
grees.
With running hot water and steam
the Matching equipment will be
hatch, thus eliminating dangers of
disease.
Mr.. HalversOn and his good wife,
who is also much interested in the
poultry business and an active helper,
have a convenient location for their
business, on the west side of the
pavement with a good view of the
10 or more poultry buildings and their
residence all in ten &C plot forming
sort of semi-circle with the largest
poultry building at one end and the
residence at the other end. The bust
ness has been built up in seven years
and in 1928 they enjoyed a so per
cent increase over 1927.
Along with the chick business they
now also winter about 1000 matured
White Leghorn birds that are good
egg-layers. In the summer time they
dress as many as 400 birds i'm a
week, buying also the surplus poultry
of farmers in the vicinity. The egg
production is contracted to Duluth
firms, commanding top prices. The
eggs are candled and put up in one
dozen cartons.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 26.-After a
nice little vacation from Thursday to
Monday afternoon, in order that the
lawmakers might celebrate Washing
tons birthday with their families, and
incidentally talk some of the weighty
problems of government over with
their constituents, the senators and
representatives are at it again in our
beautiful state capitol.
The senators adjourned in rather SER

most four hours they had been de-
batting the resolution introduced early
i'm the session for the purpose of lend
ing force and impetus to the Ship
stead-Newton bill now before con-
gress-the bill forbidding E. W..
Backus to build a series of dams
along the boundary between Canada
and Minnesota and submerge a goodly
portion of the far-famed Arrowhead
country, said to be our nations most
beautiful summer playground.
Twenty-Five to forty years ago the
bOgey man of Minnesota politics was
the late James ]. Hill. The populists
and other anti-corporation politicians
of those days described him as ter
rible monster seeking God-fearing
people to devour, a dangerous enemy
of this government of the people. To
get a politician in bad, the surest and
quickest wav was to hook him up
with Jim HILL
Now it looks as if E. w. Backus has
taken the place of Jim Hill in Mime

scare into a lot of people, just men
ton the name of Backus; and if you
want to cOnsign certain politicians
or a political faction to the realms
of distrust just say they are tools of
Backus. It's Backus this and Backus

Growers in Early Potato

Growers in the early potato states
apparently will carry out their pre-

combined commercial potato acreage
about 80 percent so that the paintings
in these early areas may be only
$4,000 acres, compared with 2S4,000
last season and 100000 acres in 1927.
Sharpest reductions are noted in Ala
bama, Mississippi, and California.
though Virginia, the largest state,
shows a probable reduction of % per-
cent and the Carolinas about 40 per-
cent. Florida has about $4,000 acres
in potatoes this year, as against 3O,350
last season. Hastings section reports
a reduction of One-fourth and first
shipments are expected by March Goth.
Severe weather in some of the
northern regions and the weakness
of the market tended to reduce potato
shipments sharply last week. Only
400 cars moved, of which Colorado
furnished 400, Idaho 40, the north
