AskOU Wins Pine County Tug-Of-
War Contest From
Pine City.

Happy thoughts and amicable intent
fish citizens who attended the state
clan picnic and gathering at the Pine
county fair grounds at Pine City Sat
urday and Sunday. With the plaid
costumes of some of the members
together with the games and contests
staged, one could almost imagine
oneself on the banks of the Bonny
DOone
Although Saturday, the opening day,
was frought with showers, this failed
to dampen the spirits of those in
charge and the program for the two
days was run off with a smoothness
that typifies the sturdy Scotch.
Among those of prominence from
outside the county were Mayor Will
liam F. KunZe of Minneapolis, and
former Congressman Carss of Duluth.
The former spoke of the virtues of
Scotland and her people.
Pine County Takes Part.
Besides furnishing the setting for
the first statewide event, Pine coun-
ty also gave hand in the ceremonies
to the extent of placing "huskies" in
the field to stage tug-Of-war contests.
Six teams, Askov, Moose Lake, Sand
stone, Hinckley, Pine City, and Rush
City were to have taken part in the
contest but three, Rush City, Hinck-
ley and Moose Lake failed to send
representatives. Thus the fray was
left to Askov, Sandstone and Pine
City. Askov drew bye and stood on
the sidelines while Sandstone was de-
feated by Pine City two out of the
three attempts. Then after brief
intermission Askov0 and Pine City
matched wits and strength to the re-
suit that Askov pulled the southerners
to take first money.
The various teams were made up of
eight men including the captain. The
AskOv team averaged 1874 pounds
while their rivals only weighed 1877
pounds per man. With such men as
Leonard Chicos, weighing 21O pounds
as endman, two others, Ed Beavens
and Albert SimOnsgaard of practically
the same weight, the sOutherners
found it impossible to hold their end
across the tape.
Not to be outdone by their defeat
Sunday, the Pine City team have ac-
cepted a chance to again pit their
strength against that of the Askov
team at the Pine County fair August

FLOWER SHOW
A BIG SUCCESS
Capacity Attendance En-
Joys Fine Exhibits and
Program.
Horticultural Expert and
Pine City Woman Judge
Exhibits.

Under auspices of the local unit of
the W. c. T. u, Askov's annual flower
show was staged in the ID. B. S. hall
Monday evening and drew an attend
ance of somewhat over three hundred.
The committee in charge of the
show started early in the morning
and received all the exhibits in the
forenoon. The afternoon was given
over to the Judging which was done
jointly by Mrs. Piper of Pine City,
and L. Sando of st. Paul. The latter
is the assistant horticultural agent at
the University Extension Division. 1t
was through a misunderstanding that
two judges were secured.
In the evening the building was too
small to seat the large crowd and sew
eral had to stand up A fine program
was rendered as follows: Two num-
bers by the local German" band;
Dutch girls song and dance; reading
by Miss Ingrid Miller of Pine City;
piano solo by Mrs. A. Henriksen; pre-
Sentation of first prizes by small girls
and boys; talk by Mr.. Sando; Svend
Petersen officiated as chairman of the
ceremonies. The German band played
several numbers after the program
while the audience enjoyed the flow
ers and refreshments particularly
the lemonade which was advertised
so much.
Financially it will be interesting to
learn that the committee has paid all
the bills, furnished several of the
cash prizes, and reports deficit of
only ~ cents. In the stands they
sold S12 worth of home made candy
which was all donated; they had S5.04
profit on the lemonade; this combined
with pop corn and ice cream resulted
in total gross sale of 1927.
The committee wishes to thank all
the parties who have donated the var
ious kinds of goods, such as candy,
groceries, ice, other merchandise, ETC.,
and they also wish to thank all who
have in any manner helped with the
show.

 Submits New Program
 A new program beginning with the fiscal year 1882 was submitted by Maj Elliott to the War De- partment. The existing program expires in 1881 and the purpose of the new one is to take up the work where the other leaves off. The department in turn submitted it to the Bureau of Budget where it was given consideration. Tt is my understanding that it was then passed on to the President" Maj. Elliott said
 The new program includes all of the proposed new routes within the Territory. However, it does not in- clude the projected Pacific-Yukon Highway which, if approved and adopted as an international under taking by the governments of the United States and Canada, will probably be handled entirely apart from the Commissions regular op- erations program.

 ABOUT INTERVENTION

 He does not attack the action by the United States, but rather his book, "Blood of the Tropics" warns against sending to Nicaragua men who do not comprehend the coun-
