I'VE should also bear in mind that
builders and individuals contemplating
construction work should realize how
important 1t is that not only the labor
employed on this work should be taken
from among our residents and tax
payers represented by various building
trades, but that the material, so far
as possible, should be bought from our
local merchants. BY this cooperation
one with the other, and a determined
effort, it is within the power of the
people to make Washington prosper,
and continue to do so in the future.
This spirit of patronizing home in
dustry should not only be reIigiously
observed in the way of employment
and in the construction work in Wash
ington, but our people should resolve
that now and hereafter to make their
purchases not only for q personal use
and consumption, but in procuring
every class of merchandise required for
their homes and properties from local
merchants. We have in Washington
some of the most beautiful, some of
the most Splendidly appointed estab-
lishments in the United States, and
our merchants carry line of merchan-
disc useful and ornamental that cam
not be exceeded by any city in the
United States, with prices that COM
charged by our near neighbors for the
same class of merchandise.
Urges United Effort.
I'm doing this we encourage the en-
ployment of labor, encourage our mer.
chants to greater effort in placing
before the people of Washington the
products of the worlds markets, and
also contribute in every way to the
prosperity of all of the people of the
District Of Columbia. II our city Is
prosperous, it is also beautiful. If we
are depressed. and in want, We can
hardly find any beauty in anything
during period of depression, with our
people out Of work and many needing
the necessaries of life, but If we all pull
together, and pull in the same way,
with the same ultimate end in view
and continually say We are prosperous,
business is better and growing better
continually we can all see, just as sons
of us now see, that business is better,
and that the silver lining that has been
behind the cloud is beginning to show
itself in the Capital of the country"

price for their merchandise in order
to create a demand on the part of
the retailer.
1.-The result is that in today's market
the consumers dollar now buys more
apparel and merchandise than at any
time in the last few years, and with
the hand-to-mouth buying policy of
the retailers they are able to give their
customers better style service and TO
pass along the current low prices.
with the once accumulated stocks
now about out of the way production
becomes more closely related to con-
sumption and the first stage of stabili-
cation is reached. Therefore, with in
creased seasonal consumer demand
prices in many lines have already
begun to stiffen.
1.-THE people of Washington should
feel greatly gratified that it has not
been necessary for their stores to cur
tail their seaSonable number OF en-
ployes or to reduce salaries as has
been not unusual in some other cities.
So, with the ideal conditions in Wash
ington, such as the stabilized govern
mental pay roll and the lack of huge
manufacturing concerns which felt the
depression most keenly, can only be-
lieve that Washington has an enviable
business outlook"

HIGHER LIVE STOCK
!: MARKET PLANNED
Producers and FiniSherS Dis
satisfied With Prices
of Last Week.
BY FRANK Il. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor


Rising market values, spreading bull
ish sentiment from the corn belt to the
Western plains has created a sudden
determination at the producing and
finishing end of the beef cattle industry
% hold out for higher prices.
Receipts at IL principal markets
totaled l91, 900 head this week, as COM
pared with ISL, 900 week ago, but Gov
eminent figures indicate the supply
still was per cent under that for the
corresponding period last year. The
increase over last week could reason
ably have been greater since this is
the normal season of liquidation, had
not the corn belt finisher and the
Western rancher gone bullish at the
same time.
AS 1t is, the shortage of light, well
finished cattle has become almost acute.
In a general way very few strictly
granted cattle have been available
under $l0.75 and most of the crop has
brought S11 to SIP. Strictly good and
weighty steers went so cents higher
than week ago and yearlings gained
Q similar amount
The only break in the long advance
has been 25 to 40 cent downturn on
lower grade steers, which made up the
bulk of receipts. and so to rs cent
drop IN puJcner nelIerS. FOR the most
part the sellers attitude has had the
effect of curtailing the supply of
weighty cattle ready for market, which
in many Instances already has been
on corn for long time, and of short
ening the current crop of replacement
cattle which the country now is much
more anxious to buy than 1t was a few
weeks ago. Stockers and feeders are
at least $3.50 to 50 higher than early
in August.
Co-incidentally with abridged supplies
and the vastly improved demand for
beef that accompanied lower tempera-
lures, wholesale beef prices at Chicago
moved up so cents to 81 for steer meat;
cow meat so cents to 81, while veal
and calf remained about steady. Beef
prices we're supported by active and
higher Eastern markets and sharp adj
vances in live prices.
Pork loins worked 81 to 81 lower,
while hogs were experiencing some Of
the most uneven sets Of markets en-
countered for some time.

"One particular point 1 would like

its unusual situation, Washington has

only to small degree with the result
that it has no tremendous rebounds
from low levels to make and that its

The political debates that were to
have been held in various parts of

E. Therrien of Pine City, candidate
for reelection to the state legislature,
and his opponent, Editor Hjalmar
Petersen of Askov, have been called
off on account of the death in Peter

sent out to the press of the county by
Hjalmar Petersen, under date of Sept.
16, 1880:
Owing to my recent bereavement
l feel that | cannot go through with
the political debates that were sched-
uled between Representative ]. E.
Therrien of Pine City, and myself, the
first of which was to have been held
at Hinckley on Sept. %. In all there
were to have been II debates.
These debates would naturally tax
a persons strength and vitality-they
would necessitate concentration on the
subjects to be discussed-a thing
which | feel l could not do just at
this time-and so with the advice of
friends / have decided to cancel these
public meetings which is also agree
able to Mr.. Therrien.
The loss of my wife and mother of
my nine year old daughter has nat
urally rendered me inactive for a
time. l shall of necessity have to de-
pend more on my friends. My stand
on public questions was submitted in
my platform to some degree at the
time | filed. / had considerable de-
bate material prepared, and shall pre-

the people, and to work for a better

problems are the recess appointments

has a habit of making appointments
without always consulting the Sena-

they insist undermines their influence

Five citizen ip papers were
granted by Judge Alfred P. Stolberg
at Pine City last Tuesday at a special
hearing of the court. The American
Legion and Ladies Auxiliary assisted
in the exercises with Miss Elizabeth
Lambert and Mrs. Clifford Perkins
leading the singing. Attorney M. B.
Hurley spoke briefly on behalf of the
Legion and Mrs. Emma Gum Perkins
presented to each of the newly made
citizens silk flag donated by the
Ladies Auxiliary. Harry Addel-
son, Deputy United States Naturaliza-
ton Examiner, conducted the examin-
alton of the candidates in the matters
of government and drew up the nat
uralization papers.
Those who received their papers
are as follows: Tony Zuk, Russia
Poland, now of Sturgeon Lake; John
Zydek, also of Russia-Poland, and now
of Sturgeon Lake; Carl Olof Paulson,
Sweden, now of Hinckley; Marion
Alice Hanson and Gustav Albin Han
son, Great Britain, now of Pine City.
A rather unusual case was that of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson, as both were
born, raised, and educated in the
United States. Mr.. Hanson surren-
dered his American citizenship in
1910 when he went to Canada and
took up a homestead near Wynyard,
Canada. Later Mrs. Hanson. who be-
fore her marriage was Marion Kael-
able, went from Pine City to Canada
and married Mr.. Hanson on Novem-
Der II, 1917. The homestead was
sold and in 1923, the Hansons re-
turned to the United States, but were
no longer citizens as Mr. Hanson had
been obliged to take out papers in
Canada in order to prove up on his
homestead. Mrs. Hanson lost her
American citizenship by her marriage
to Mr.. Hanson. Since 1923, the couple
have been working to get back their
citizenship papers but even now will
not be able to vote in the fall election
as the law requires ninety days to
elapse after final papers are granted
before the new citizens can vote.

ship Play.Off.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team,
runner-up in the Pine County league
during the 1880 season has entered
the state amateur baseball league
championship tournament which is
taking place at Lexington park at ST.
Paul this week. Three games were
played on Tuesday, three on Wednes-
two on Saturday, and the final two
championship games on Sunday after
noon.
The Pine County Baseball League
will be represented by the Sturgeon
Lake club which will play Hancock
on Wednesday afternoon at $3.50 p. m.
In the event that they are victorious
against that team they will play the
next game on Thursday afternoon at
$3.50 p. m. their opponents then will
be either LeSueur Center or Clare
mont.
The baseball clubs are divided into
two classes this year. Glass A is
composed of the Minneapolis and ST.
Paul clubs and the Southern Mime
sofa club which this year happens to
be Fairmont. Class B consists of all
the leagues outside of Glass A and
each class will play to separate and
distinct championship. This arrange
ment was advocated as the favorable
one as the clubs who play strictly
amateur or near amateur will not be
pitted against a semi-professiona
team in the play for state title.
There are thirteen leagues entered
in the class B tournament this year
and three entered in the Glass A, and
because of such a great number en-
tered it was necessary to hold the
tournament six days to complete the
whole elimination.
Those comprising the Sturgeon Lake
club who will attend the tournament
are Jack Cunningham, Ernest Nelson,
Tony Suk, Bert Upgren, Bobby Olson,

WASHINGTON Letter
BY " SDaley

Washin gton, September 17-When
the flowery bonds of politeness are SET
aside, the politicians here will tell
you that the establishment of the di-
rect primary was grave error
Equally ardent proponents of the sys-
tenn if gathered in conclave, would
assert with the same degree Of posi-
tiveness that the system has proven
boon for the actual voters as a
means of controlling their political
leaders. A survey this week shows
that the primaries which are nearing
an end have upset the old-time cant
of mot men, but measures" Person
alities have figured more prominent
ly than issues The returns reveal
ing changes in the Senate and House
give cause for gloomy contemplation,
especially for the chieftans who have
been prodigal with promises that
everything was all right"
The antagonism of the political
nabobs to the direct primary is, from
their point of view, well founded. The
contention is advanced that it has de-
creased the effectiveness of political
organization and famed the fires of
factionism. flame which is gradually
breaking-down party systems If the
concern over the workings Of the re-
cent primaries is a criterion then
We may expect another flood of bills
in the state legislatures and at Wash
