An "Intelligence Test

LYON PARK, Va, Oct. 30
Speaking at the Democratic mass
meeting held last night in the Lyon
Park Community House, Mrs. Sarah
Lee Fain, Democratic member of
the House of Delegates from Nor
folk, Va, declared the issues in this
campaign for the election of State
O. icers are not "Romanism or
7 4skobism." but whether the
voters of Virginia are going to con-
tinue in the path of progress by the
election of the Democratic Candi-
dates or take a backward step by
the election of inexperienced men
to puf us where we were so years
ago.
Tuesday next is judgment dav in
Virginia. With the eyes of the na-
ton on US. it will be an intelligence
test for the voters of the State. -

P RIG { SPEAKS
IN ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA. Va. Oct. 3o.-In
the cleanest political speech made
curing the campaign, James n.
Price. Democratic nominee for lieu
tenant governor, answered last night
every one Of the attacks made on
the present Democratic regime in
Virginia.
He called attention to the fact that
such a condition that the sale of the
States interest in the r., F. and p.
railroad, added to the literary fund,
would pay off the entire bonded in
debtedness. and that every mile of
the States $500 miles of improved
roads was paid for in full.
He stated that there were no ma.
tiOnal issues involved in the present
election, and that the coalitlonlStS
were introducing Raskob and Smith
solely to cloud the real issue as to
which party was better fitted to
carry on the work of the State
honestly and capably. He called at
tention to the fact that all of the
men on the Democratic ticket had
years of experience in government.
whereas the only one of the others
who had been in public life was the
Republican nominee for attorney gen.
eral, who until last year was Demo
cratic commonwealth attorney OF
Norfolk.
The State Industrial Commission

The annual meeting of the Finlay-

association, which was held Monday,
Feb. 4th, at the Community hall in
FinlaysOn village, was a rousing one.
The members and their families came
early in the forenoon and stayed
through until the meeting ended about
$3.50 p. m. All told there were about
500 folks in attendance The ladies
served lunch during the noon hour.
The speakers were Herman r. Berg

man of district No. 9; County Agent
w. F. Hammargren and a Mr. Hend-
rickson of Superior. the latter repre-

The FinlaysOn creamery shows a
good substantial increase in business
during the past year over the previous
one. In 1923 total of 3O0.55O pounds
of butter were manufactured, while
in 1927 it was 265,594 pounds. The
dhCidSS iIct pIIC6 IeCSlN6u 1OE
during 1928 was 45.62c; average price
paid for butterfat, 51,02c; cost of
manufacturing butter per pound, 2.05c;
percentage of overrun, 1924.
The new spacious and we'll arranged
creamery building which was built
last summer and fall at cost of APP
proXimately $4,000, was moved into
during November. 1t is modern in
every respect and is built large
enough so that more watts and churns
can be added later as the business
grows and makes it necessary. Be
sides a large storage room and water
tanks on the second floor a fine flat
has also been arranged where the
buttermaker, Oscar Bergseth. and his
family, are domiciled. Mr.. Bergseth
has attended faithfully to the work
as buttermaker the past dozen years.
Election of officers Monday resulted
as follows: Matt Kari, president;
Herman Mack. vice president; Hollis
Laid, director for three years; E. n
Bengtson, secretary, treasurer and
manager. All the officers were re-
elected except in the case of director,
Mr.. Ladd being new man there.

DENHAM MAN
WAS UNCONSCIOUS
FOLLOWING FALL

John Martichuski had a narrow es-
cape last week. He was standing on
the ROLLER" of his sleigh driving
when the runner struck a snow COW
cred stump so violently that he was
flung head first against the tongue,
knocking him unconscious. How long
he was unconscious he does not know,
as he was alone in the woods on his
farm south of Denham. When he re-
gained consciousness he found himself
lying between his horses, which had
stopped when he fell and had re-
manned standing at the same place.
He was stiff with cold when he came
to. No bones were broken, but his
face was severely bruised. making it
impossible for him to resume his
work for several days.

Washington, February 6.-Aside
from a few outbursts in the legislative
halls, the principal activity in Wash

President, a quadrennial ceremony of
International interest. With the
speaking films permitting sound re-
cording, new invention which takes
its place at the ceremonies this year,
millions who have heretofore read the
first speech of the new President or
heard it relayed over the radio will
have an opportunity of hearing and
visualizing all the main events. 1t is
estimated that from fifty to sixty
thousand persons can assemble at the
through the aid of improved magni-
flying devices. The crowd at the cere-
monies in the Senate when the Vice
President takes office will necessarily
be limited to high officials and fam
lilies of the Senators.
Though the radio and sound films
will probably cut down the demand
for tickets from folks who would
otherwise journey to Washington for
the occasion, there is no appreciable
slackening in the requests for seats
at the stand where the oath will be
administered to Mr.. Hoover, and from
which he will deliver his first address

CREAMERY IS
PROGRESSING
Annual Statement of AskOv
Concern Shows the Best
Yearly Record of its His
tory; Chr. Morgensen is
Reelected.

The annual meeting of the AskOv
Creamery Assn was held in the d.
b. S. hall Tuesday afternoon and drew
the usual large attendance about 190
In the absence of President Chr.
Morgensen the meeting was called to
order by Vice President Chris Fred
eriksen. Routine reports were given
by the secretary.
The annual statement of the asso-
citation which had been printed and
distributed TO those present, showed
that steady progress was made
during the year ana that il was the
best year of the associations history.
During 1929 they made 451, 319 poun Is
of butter. an increase of 27535 lbs.
over 1927, of which $3.50 was of
Land OLakes grade, and showed an
overrun of 23.75 per cent During the
year they received 1,45S,677 pounds
of cream, having an average test of
24.S19o, and for which they paid their
patrons S191,176.O1; being an increase
over 1927 of $13,022.46. The average
price paid per pound of butterfat was
1884 cents, which is .74c higher than
1927. The manufacturing cost during
1923 was 2.25 cents per pound, de
crease from 1927 of .12c, which to-
gether with other statistics reflects
credit upon the able buttermaker, NJ
Andersen.
The proposal to have three grades
of cream instead of two, as at present.
carried with large majority. The
old arrangement provided a spread Of
) cents between LIST and 2nd grade
cream, while the new arrangement
will make a spread of 3 cents between
list and End grade and 3 cents be-
tween 1st and Bird grade cream

association, as well as statistics on
the advantages from proper feeding

questions relative to the creamery in

it to liquidate the final Indebtedness
still encumbering it, The Worcester

which has absolutely no Indebtedness of
any kind. Various large donataions
have been made in former years. The

A few months ago it was reported
in these columns that the telephone
connection opened during 1923 be-

shown by the fact that only or 5

1t is now announced that the situation
is not much better. for although there
is very lively exchange of cabled

The Swedish North Star Singing

its fiftieth anniversary on which oc-
casiOn banquet was arranged where
members, numerous friends, and many
prominent Chicagoans were present.
The club is one of the pioneer organ
izations among Scandinavians in Chi
cago and has done far reaching and
useful work in stimulating the inter-
est in Swedish singing. Needless to
say that a feature of the evening was
choral singing by the members.

The Example Of America.
Jacob Paludan, a former Danish

one of the foremost fiction writer's of

Europe might well benefit from fol-

many fields but sounds a warning
