TIMELY ITEMS
From the County Agents Desk.

Solving the potato situation is a
difficult one. Farmers who realized a
fair return are those who had their
fields certified. The quality of pota-
toes raised in Pine County would
warrant more farmers in raising
seed potatoes. Particulars in regard
to certification can be had by writ
ing the County agent, Hinckley.
Spraying with Bordeaux to control
disease of potatoes using high pres
sure sprayers is a profitable practice
to adopt. Increase in yield as. well
as marketable potatoes were realized
by Petersen Bros. of Askov and others
during 1928.
More pounds of butterfat per COW
and not more cows are needed. Better
feeding, breeding and wedding does
it. Join a Cow Testing Association
and weed out the Improbable ones.
Modern farms are found in any
number in Pine county. j. E. Swan
son and Son of ROyalton Township

Guernsey cattle with yearly pro-
duction per COW of over 1926 pounds

of rutabaga dealers from Minnesota
and Wisconsin, met in Minneapolis
to discuss improvement of the cOndi-
tions of the growing and marketing

ing was that an organization was
formed, to be known as THE Mime

and Shippers Association.
Plans have been formulated to pc
titiOn Congress to raise the tariff on

grower to sign it.
Petition.
We, the undersigned members of the
Minnesota and Wisconsin Rutabaga
Growers and Shippers Association,
hereby petition the members of Con-
gress from Minnesota and Wisconsin,
to do everything in their power to Sc
cure an increase in import duty on
Rutabagas from 12c to soc cwt. at the
next revision of the tariff. We also
ask that the President be petitioned
to increase at this time, tariff on ruta-
bagas 500 for immediate relief, as
provided in the Fordney-McCumber
Tariff Act.
This petition must get into the
hands of Congress very soon, so come
in and sign it at once. We also sug-
gest that you make application for
membership in the organization.
Come in and we will explain.

HYPNOTIST HAS STRANGE

The hypnotist that appeared at
Hinckley recently seemed to have
strange powers, but not as convincing
as acts of the kind have proven. 1t
appears after the hypnotist staged an
act at that place that he had hired
his boy helpers in advance and coach

was supposed to make it appear that
he had strange powers over them,
which proved to be very disgusting

price-fixing, and in violation of the
antitrust laws. Should the report of
the Commission be favorable to maint-
enance of resale prices it is believed
that the Legislation will stand a
chance of being passed. At the same
time it is recalled that measures sinf=
liar to the Kelly-Capper bill have
failed of passage during the past
decade and this record leads some to
believe that it's enactment at the
next session is unlikely. Nevertheless
it is evident that the legislation is
looked upon more favorably than
previously, since its purpose has
been greatly Illuminated by extern
sive hearings.
With the re-convening of Congress
it is again confronted with the Con-
stitutiOnal question of reappOrtion-
ment. The Fem bill is now pending
before the house. The leaders Of the
house generally are in favor of put
ting the bill through at this short
session. However there is danger
that it might again be blocked in the
Senate. 1t is now proposed by a
certain group in the Senate to add
the reapportionment bill to the census
bill, which has passed the house as
Senate amendment This is one
way out of the situation which has
arisen. The house is properly more
interested in a reapportionment bill
than the Senate, since it has to do
win the membership of the house
itself, and does not effect the upper
house of Congress.

 amazed one fine day while perusing their papers over their morning cups of coffee to read that Citizen Carl l. Jacob son, the dignified and energetic foe of immortality, had been hauled to book in the same vice net that he had spent so much of his time perfecting. He had been apprehended in the home of a comedy young divorcee under circumstances that were, to say the least, compromising.
 Captain. Bert Wallis of the Los Angeles police department received an anonymous telephone call one lot Summer night in 1927. The speaker at the other end of the wire asserted that wild party was in progress at the home of Mrs. Callie Grimes: that young girl was in the house and in danger of being made delinquent, and that if some- t''ins sore not done about it at nnrA

The next day Helen D'Arcy sees a vaguely familiar country youth working on the lawns about her home. In answer to her surprised ques- ton, the rustic youth says his iinme is Dick-Dick Fullalove, the new odd man." Viscount Brocklehurst comes to press his Hopeless suit. Walking across 3he lawns with Helen, they dis cover a ragged slip of paper a note -whic BrOcklehurst grasps eagerly and starts to fead it's contents when Helen demands it.

 A raid was forthwith organized and it was no ordinary raid.

 Tried in municipal court, the councilman refused to testify and the jury disagreed seven to five for acquittal. The charge against him was dropped. Mrs. Grimes. who was also charged with an extra-le- gal indiscretion, was not prosecuted either. The affair was about to sink into obscurity when Mrs. Grimes put her own version of what had happened that night in affidavit form and sold 1t to two morning newspapers. The grand jury be- came interested again.
 This time both Mrs. Grimes and Jacobson spoke loud and long. Mrs. Grimes exonerated the councilman and declared that everything was plot and a frame-up to destroy Ja- icobson because of his campaign against vice.
