task of writing a bill the Senate FL

demands range from high protection,

cost of living. While the Senate is
apparently disposed to advance the

from various sections of the country
who are gravely concerned with the

That the rest of the world is also
watching the tariff making in Con-

Washington, June 10. What is
probably the most absorbing feature
of the political game is now being
played in Washington between the
Administrative branch, as represented
by the President, and the legislative
side, with the Senate and House as
the principal players. At this writing
the score is about even. The advan-
tages which come to well-seasoned
veterans in Congress are partially off
set by the tremendous patronage weap-
on of the President greatly supple
mented by public support which de-
veloped before and subsequent to the
election. The feeling prevails that
many legislative movements against
the Presidents program are merely
gestures intended to test out the lead
ership of the newcomer at the White
House. 1t is significant that some
Senators and Representatives have ia
vOred Administration policies, solely
because of the chances of reaction
against them in their own districts
next year when the Congressional
elections are held.
The major controversy concerns the
future of tariff revision. AS the tariff
is presumed to vitality affect the ci:i-
zen in his dual role as consumer
and wage Garner, it necessarily De-
comes something more than a polite

THE PROTEST
CONTINUES
Work of Congress is Being
Watched in Northwest;
Borah Resolution Lost by
One Vote; Congressman
Goodwin Writes.

Widespread interest continues
throughout the northwest in what
Congress is doing in the way of farm
relief and the tariff bill. The protest
against the Hawley tariff bill as
passed in the lower house which had
received 446 signers through the eff
forts of the American by last week
has another 176 signers this week,
which are published herewith, making
a total of 622 signers.
More signatures are being received
daily by the American and another
list will be published in the next is
sue, June 9th, and that will term
mate the list.
Between 200 and 500 farmers and
their wives picnicking at Pine lake
last Sunday under auspices of the
HOlstein Breeders association of Pine
county voted unanimously to send a
telegram to Senator VIM. E. BOrah,
indorsing his resolution demanding
that Congress heed the Republican
partys campaign promises to agricul-
ture and limit the tariff revision to
agricultural products.
The Pine County Farm Bureau also
sent telegram to Senator Borah
reading as follows:
THE Pine County Farm Bureau,
with a membership of over six hun
dred farmers, strongly favor the reso-
luton introduced by yourself and sin
cerely hope that it will be adopted.
BY raising the tariff on farm products
and then increasing it on what the
farmer has to buy, will not help. Your
resolution should be adopted Signed
A. P. Jensen, president; A. w. Som
mers, secretary"
The Borah resolution, however, lost
by just one vote in the senate Mon
day.
Congressman Godfrey g. Goodwin Of
this district, wrote the American I'M
der date of June 18th, from Washing
ton, regarding the Hawley tariff bill,
his vote on the measure, and other
matters as follows:
Il am in receipt of your favor of
the 18th inst, delivered to me this
moment, and l want to thank you for
your active and intelligent interest in
the subject of farm relief through the
tariff. The copy of the petition en-
closed in your letter with 446 sigma
lures, and more being added, is i'm
pressive and convincing. l shall for
ward the copy to Senator Smoot,
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
my own conviction in reference to
the purpose for which the special ses-
sion was called has been that it was
called primarily to give relief to agri-
culture by an increased measure of
duties upon agricultural commodities,
wherein the cost of production is
greater in the United States than in
foreign competing countries, taking
into consideration the higher stand
ard of living in the United States,
and which should be enjoyed by the
farmers as by every other class within
our nation; the higher standard of

PINE CITY BOY
SCOUTS RETURN
Spent Ten Days i'm Northern Wilder.
ness Near Gun.Flint Lake Camp
ing, Hiking and Fishing.

Twenty-SiX weary and Sunburned
boy scouts returned from their trip
north last week, after spending about
ten days in hiking and scouting near
Gun-Flmt lake under the direction
of Scoutmaster D. w. Thompson.
The boys left Pine City June 3rd at
5:45 a. M, being hauled by power
company truck to their camp. Dim
ner was eaten % miles north of Two
HarbOrs and supper at p. m. at their
camp on Gun Flint lake. 1t is re-
ported that some very surprising
appetites developed among the scouts,
far greater than anything anticipated
so that after three days there was a
constant danger of running short of
supplies. Provisions were carried
for eight days and the cost per day
averaged about forty-five cents per
boy for food supplies. The Rev. D.
w. Thompson had charge of the COM
missary department and issued sup
plies cautiously so that there would
be as little waste as possible Hikes
were made daily and there was ample
time for swimming and fishing, but
some of the boys who were used only
to the warm water of Cross lake at
Pine City, found the waters of the
north too cool for more than a hurried
swim at any time.
The boys who made the trip are
as follows: John TrOolen, Donald
Boreen, Sidney Boreen, John Carlson,
Roy Carlson, Robert Therrien, Will

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Heavy imports of flour from the
United States and Canada have be-
come a considerable problem in Den
mark, according to official reports
filed in Washington last week. The
result is that all concerned-farmers
millers, bakers-seem determined to
cooperate so as to improve the quail
ity and the quantity of Danish grown
wheat in order to reduce the imports
from overseas. Spring-sown wheat has
been tried and its superior baking
qualities are admitted, but the yield
has been inadequate. Improvements
are, however, considered feasible,
and attempts are now being planned
to increase home production so as to
minimize the Americana Canadian i'm
ports.

WEEDS Can
BE DOW NED
Control and Eradication is
Explained by Authorities
From Agricultural De-
partment; Common Bar
berry also Discussed.

T. c. Heneghan of st. Paul, repre-
senting the state commissioner of
agriculture, N. j. Holmberg, and F..
senting the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, were in Askov Wednesday af-
ternoon and spoke at the town hall
on weeds, their distribution and con-
troll before a gathering of about 35
people. The audience represented
largely town chairmen from the
northern portion of Pine county. A
like meeting is also being held this
Afternoon at Pine City before the, town
chairmen and other interested people
of the southern portion of the county.
The state seed law was also explained
at the Askov meeting.
The entire subject of weed menace,
tion was covered. Particular atten-
tion was given to the primary noXious
weeds, for they are the ones that are
not content to propagate by seeds
alone. but spread rapidly after once
being established, by means of root
stocks. They are of sufficient i'm
pOrtance to list here so the farmers
and townfolks may know them by
name and be on the lookout for them.
They are: Canada thistles, Sow thist-
les, Quack Grass, Leafy Spurge, Dod-
der, Creeping Jennie (small lowered
morning glory, Sheep Sorrel, Toad
Flax Butter and Eggs), Ox-Eye
naiS Anc ri Hn1
Nettle. These are the ten worst
These, without the help of any other
weeds, are very expensive borders"
on farms. They crowd the crops often
to the point of complete choking-out
of the crop with which they are
mingled. Their control and eradica-
ton is difficult and expensive For
this reason Mr.. Heneghan advises
close watch over all fields, fence corn
ers and roads, to see that no such
noXious weeds gain a foot-hold.
Mr.. Heneghan pointed out that one
of the features of success of weed
control work is the use of smother
crops such as sweet clover, alfalfa,
buckwheat, millet, Sudan grass, fod-
der corn, rape, and seeding down to
timothy, bromus, redtop, or other hay
and pasture crops.
Figures were shown where the aver
age of 653 samples of field seeds sown
by ATT farmers of six sections of the
state, was nearly $50 weed seeds.
Practically all of these weed seeds
could have been removed by the COM
mon tanning mill or grain grader.
Methods OF Control.
Weeds in full bloom are about at
their weakest phyical period of life,
except that as seedlings, all weeds
are very quickly and most easily
killed. One sweep of the harrow in
the spring is worth MANIFOLD the
same amount of time spent in Guilt
waiting. Wheat, oats, barley and rye
can and should be narrowed at least
once in the spring before the plants
are four inches tall. Disking stubble
as soon as the grain is harvested kills
thousands of weeds and prevents the
formation of seeds. Early fall plow-
ing is always to be recommended, but
the land should be narrowed and
disked at least once before the ground
freezes. This will kill stink weed,
mustard and the like so they will not
develop early maturing plants the fol-
lowing spring.

Sturgeon Lake Gunner
Wins ILUO State EUents
Cunningham Captures Diamond
Badge and 150-Bard Titles
IN Minnesota Shoot

John Cunningham, who has been
coping most of the glory of local
trap shooting contests, entered the
Minnesota champion trapshooting con-
tenders ranks Sunday when he shot
his way to the Diamond Badge title
and copied first place in the $50
bird event.
Cunningham, who went to the meet
unheralded and unsung missed only
six birds in the 150-target shoot to
nose out Capt. w. F.. Fawcett by one
pigeon and then won a thrilling shoot
off with Ray Zwiener for the Diamond
Badge trophy.
Jack" as he is commonly known
to his Pine county friends, is son
of the late George H. Cunningham, a
leader in northern Pine county for
many years, and is brother OF
George Cunningham, baseball star
who plays with the Southern league
Jack" himself is no SLOUGH on the
baseball diamond, being known as a
very good hitter, but his eye is still
better behind the gun.
Cunningham was the sensation of
the tournament. Each day found him
among the leaders, and the high wind
which bothered most of the other gun
ners seemed to have little effect on
him.
The Minneapolis Tribune has the
following to say in commenting upon
the event:
1.-THE victories of the Sturgeon Lake
marksman were quite dramatic in
both events. In the 150-bird event,
which was the first to be run off,
Captain w. H. Fawcett was the only
one remaining with a chance to tie
Cunningham as he came to squad for
his last 25 birds. He pulverized the
first % targets cOnsecutively and it
seemed as though he was certain to
enter shootoff with Cunningham.
Just before his turn on the 23rd target,
Fawcett's attention was taken from
the bird by another gunner. This
caused him to fall one bird short of
Cunningham in the final count.
I'm the Diamond Badge event, which
consists of 26 singles from 16 yards
and "a doubles from the same dis
lance, victory had been conceded to
Ray Zwiener of Blooming Prairie,
who smashed 25 out of 26 singles and
then pulverized % out of "a doubles
traps. Cunningham came up to his
squad after Zwiener and recorded a
perfect score of &c in the singles and
was credited with 20 in the doubles to
give him a total of 46. Later on,
while the scores were being checked
up in the clubhouse, it was discovered
that through a mistake of the scorers,
Cunningham had been deprived of one
in the doubles, SO shOtoff became ne
cessary. Both Zwiener and Cunning
ham went Is straight in the singles.
Zwiener missed the second pigeon in
the first pair and Cunningham missed
the second in the third pair. Cum
bingham completed the doubles with
out a further miss. Zwiener could
have tied him again by breaking both
on his final shot, but he lost the first
pigeon of the final pair and with it the
Diamond Badge trophy and the ad-
ditional prize"

The Pine county league baseball
schedule was set one notch deeper in
the season Sunday as Bruno lost to
Sturgeon Lake by score of % to 5;
Markville to Sandstone 16 to s; Will
low River to Brook Park to 6. Askov
received forfeit of to 0 from Gron-
ingen in view of the fact that the
latter team has dropped out of the
league. In this respect for the re-
mainder of the first half, all the teams
having games scheduled with Gron-
ingen will receive a forfeit of the
game by score of to 0. At the be-
ginning of the second half, either a
team will be secured to take the place
Of GrOningen or the schedule will be
revised, it is announced by the league
authorities.
Two of Sundays games were one
sided according to scores, while it re-
quired II innings to settle the argu-
ment between Brook Park and Willow
River with the former getting the
edge in their time at bat in the
eleventh. The feature of the Brook
Park-Willow River game was the ex-
-cellent pitching of Harapat who al
lowed only 3 hits and no walks during
the whole II innings. He struck out
II men.
Sturgeon Lake swamped Bruno with
an avalanche of runs in the ball game
at Bruno on Sunday. Bobby Olson
led the hitting attack with three sim
giles and triple at six times at bat
Walter Cunningham, Mac and Lee An
derson and Welsh got two base hits.
Mac Anderson pitched the entire game
for the Lakers and scattered the nine
hits that the Brunoites received we'll
