.MARKVILLE WINS
WITH 9TH RALLY
Came From Behind to Score Nine
Runs to Defeat wisconsin
Team II to 16.

Coming from behind in the ninth
inning, Markville scored nine runs to
defeat Falun, Wis, by score of IS
to II. The excessive heat caused
both pitchers to lose their effective
ness and the batters had their own
way with the ball most of the time
Ankley, Markville pitcher won his
own game in the ninth inning by
pounding out a two base hit with
the bases full. George Rash, right
fielder in the Markville team was in
jured sliding into second base in the
sixth inning, and had to be carried
from the field.
The feature of the game was a
homer made by Louis Jensen of the
Falun team when he received one of
the Markville pitchers slow balls in
the eigth inning and drove it to the
center field fence.
Rutherford, Markville's star pitcher
was absent from the lineup, but Ank-
ley did well on the mound in his place
striking out three batters and allow
ing Is hits while Petersen for Falun
retired 10 by strike outs and allowed
16 hits. KeIch of Markville, led the
batting with three two-base hits.

The Moose Lake baseball team
practically cinched tie for first po-
sition in the Pine County Baseball
Leagues second half when it defeated
Askov Sunday by a score of p to 0.
The Askovites in this game were
deluged with Moose Lake runs and
were only able to connect with three
safe hits off the veteran Charles
Handschu who did the pitching for
Moose Lake. Hogan, who started the
game for Askov and who, when in
form, pitches good ball, was forced
to retire in the second inning after
Moose Lake had cinched the game
with IS runs. His inability to pro-
coed was plainly in evidence because
of a sore arm which he was unfortu-
nate in having attacked with rheu-
matism the past week. Jens Hyldahl,
of home run fame in the Sturgeon
Lake game having at that time
knocked the ball a distance that
would measure we'll with some of
Babe Ruths hits, went in to finish on
the mound. He proved to be about as
formidable as the Moose Lake batters
cared to face and only for loose field
ing in various positions the MOosers
would have failed to add much to
their first innings score.
Sturgeon, Brook Park Win.
In the other county league games
Sturgeon Lake swamped Pine City by
a score of Is to 3 getting 20 hits to
Z for the county seaters, and Brook
Park defeated Finlayson, second place
holders in the league. 13 to and
brought them down to an equal po-
sition in the percentage column with
themselves and Sturgeon Lake. 1t ap-

A|RPLANES TO
BE AT ASK0v
Safety in Aviation Will be
Demonstrated Here
on Sunday.
Two Planes Will be Used,
Landing on the Adolf
Jensen Farm.

The Minnesota Aircraft Co. of Min
neapolis, will have two airplanes in
Pine county on Sunday, August 3, to
demonstrate safety in aviation. The
flying will be done from the Adolf
Jensen farm, IL miles southeast of
Askov village. The general public is
invited to see the airplanes as no adj
mission will be charged to the field,
but charges will be made for airplane
rides. The two planes will be here
both forenoon and afternoon.
The one is a Hesso Eaglerock BIZ
plane and the other is Stinson cabin
monoplane, the latter a sister ship to
the endurance plane used by the Hun
ter brothers, who established an en-
durance record Of $50 hours. Jesse
Show will fly the Hesso Eaglerock
and Red" Fowler will fly the Stinson
monoplane. Miss Mona Malloy ex-
poets to make a parachute jump Sun

tion flying.
This opportunity of being able to
see the airplanes near at hand will
be a treat to the people of surround
ing communities, and likely a large
crowd will avail themselves of this
chance to become better acquainted
with aviation. There is good land
ing place on the Adolph Jensen farm
and the roads to the farm are good.

THRUN, FINLAYSON
DAIRYMAN LOSES
BARN BY FIRE

Fire of unknown origin Destroy
ed the barn and new milk house
on the Herman Thrun farm in
Bremen township Friday evening
lust before milking time. Mr..
Thrun was preparing to milk his
II cows and was called away by
a neighbor who drove in the yard
and while talking with him saw
smoke in the milk house. By the
time they got to it, it had spread
so rapidly to the barn that Mr..
Thrun was able get only a calf
and his team of horses out, be-
fore the whole structure was a
mass of flames. The cows were
not yet in the barn which was in
deed fortunate considering how
quickly the flames spread. Mr..
Thrun had a DeLaval milking
machine installed only about a
year ago, and had finished the
new milk house only two weeks
ago. The milking machine and
engine, separator. all cans and
tools and harness as well as II
tons of hay were destroyed. The
loss amounts to several thousand
dollars and is only partially COW
cred by insurance. Mr.. Thrun
built a corral for his cows until
he can have a shelter erected.
He plans to build a barn as soon
as possible.

AT PINE COUNTY FAIR
ON AUGUST 1916

MILLER Jewels of 1930"-This is a
girls revue that rs decidedly different.
Seven beautiful and talented girls pre-
sent one of the most lavish and novel
revues yet seen this side of Chicago.
Miss Hazel Mack, the Prima Donna
of the company, is a great favorite
in the Northwest. Her singing has
been the hit of numerous Chicago
shows and her featured appearance in
one of the Twin City leading theaters
for three consecutive months won her
many fans.
Every one of the girls is a clever
specially dancer and singer; they do
fast tap dancing, acrobatic and COM
edy numbers, and harmony work
Thousands of dollars are invested in
their costumes, which are decidedly
different from the general run. They
give an entire change from the after
noon and evening shows. If you enjoy
beauty of color, music and rythm,
don't fail to see this wonderful show
at your fair this year.
A special feature band is carried
with the revue and not only are they
splendid musicians but they too will
do novel musical numbers.
Eddie Russell-Eddie is a real CO.
median. He is the kind that gets a
laugh every time he makes move.
He sings funny songs and tells stories
that will make your sides ache from
laughing. His featured number is a
chair dance in which Eddie does buck
and wing tap dancing in every con-
ceivable position-both with his hands
and feet He will act as Master OF
Ceremonies for the entire show.

WASHINGTON Letter
By v pDaley

Washington, July 3O-With the
the adjournment of the special ses-
sion of the Senate, the boards of
strategy of the major political parties
are now prepared to carry on an or
ganized political campaign in the
home states. These planners have a
wide assortment of ideas as to what
shall constitute 1.-The issues" for the
elections of 1880. The line of battle
for control of the Senate and House
may be altered after the majority OF
primary contests are ended in August.
Meanwhile the strategists OF various
factions and parties are setting up
decoys in an attempt to uncover the
real sentiment of the voters on ques-
tions of today. The skirmishes on
both sides are watched with the clos
est interest by the present occupant
of the White House whose political
fortune will be gagged in the Novem-
Der voting.
A survey made this week in re-
Spouse to inquiries originating in sec
tions remote from Washin gton reveals
an interesting political picture. While
there is the usual disposition for in
dividual leaders to laud accomplish
ments of their particular party and
criticise the opposition. no indications
are given of a political item of suf-
ficient importance worthy OF being
proclaimed "a national issue" From
conversations with recognized party
leaders, it is obvious that whatever
activity is undertaken in the Congress
sional districts will be with an eye

on the 1882 Presidential campaign.
1t is said that the strategists are CIV
ing due consideration to psychological
features of the fall elections.
Many candidates who in the late
spring and early summer had counted
heavily on the publicity covering the
tariff controversy are now Obliged TO
shift to other subjects in their politi-
cal harangues. 1t appears that the
public interest in the tariff was worn
out by too much agitation. The feeling
prevails that the naval treaty was over
played The result is, according to re-
liable reports from state leaders of
to the Congressional districts must be
substituted for the tariff and treaty
at political rallies The prohibition
issue is cropping up in certain states,
but the leaders of national committees
are keeping aloof from this subject
at this time because they realize il
will figure prominently in the Presi-
Dental race two years hence. The
nearest approach to a nationwide
controversy is the battle over the gov
ernment's attitude in farm relief. Yet,
the facts are that this dispute will be
confined to so-called agricultural
states. Some idea of the character OF
campaign oratory and publicity may
be obtained from the mass of propa-
ganda placed in the Congressional
Record recently by Spokesman for all
political parties.

FinlaysOn likes
Win Float Prize

At the state convention of the
Izaak Walton league of America held
in Mora on July 25 and 26, the Fin
layson chapter won the prize cup for
having the best float in the parade.
The float contained a banner of 4x12

and a lake near by. The remainder
of the scenery consisted of various
sized evergreens and moss, all being
constructed and arranged by Axel
Norlund and others, while behind the
float marched several "woOdjacks" in
formation with the cook in the lead.
They were dressed in regular lum-
bermen's apparel consisting Of high
top boots, wooden trousers, buckskil
coats, fur caps, etc. Considering the
intense heat in which the scene was
enacted, the attire presented conf
ic scene.
McGrath Gets Honorable Mention.
The McGrath chapter of the Izaak
Walton league had a very good float
and is commended highly by Dale
Ryan, president Of the Finlayson
chapter for its activity in the
league, and especially so since it
is one of the newly organized chap
tiers. DIR. Vincent and Senator Hen
rik Shipstead who were scheduled to
be present at the banquet were I'M
able to be there, and other enter
tainment was substituted, including
a hook-up from WCCO in which Jerry
Harrington and Irene Harris sang
and played.

LAUNDRY DRAIN
FATAL TO LAD
Minneapolis Couple Lose Only Son
by Drowning While Calling
on Hinckley Friends.

Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Johnson Of
Minneapolis, had the sad misfortune
to lose their only son, lad of three
years, when he drowned in a water
drain back of the Cutland laundry
in Hinckley Saturday. While enroute
TO visit Mrs. JohnsOns sister and
family in Carlton, they had stopped
for a chat and dinner with Mrs.
John Cutland.
Soon after dinner the little boy dis
appeared, and not knowing his where
abouts, the parents and neighbors
started a search which ended with
the lads father finding the body in
a sewer hole back of the Cutland
home which is approximately seven
feet deep and which is used for a
laundry drain. DR.. Stephan was i'm
mediately called and although the
child was still breathing, it was i'm
possible to revive him due to the
washing soda contained in the water
of the laundry. Had it been pure
water, the child could have been
saved. it is thought.
The Johnsons were out of work in
the city and were on their way to
Carlton where they had employment
in prospect The three-year-old boy
being the only child makes the bur-
den doubly hard for them to hear.
Funeral services were held by the
Rev. johnson Sunday afternoon in
Hinckley and the little body was Laid

the boy. attended the funeral. The

Fruit Fly Barrier TO
Middle West.
By the Associated Press.

ORLANDO. Fla, February 8.-De-
nouncing as a. commercial failure the
present system of processing citrus fruit
under Mediterranean fruit fly quaran-
tine regulations, a committee represent
ing Florida's leading industries TODAY

all citrus fruits shipped into the Middle
Western States from Florida must be
processed except that grown outside the
fruit fly eradication area, commonly
known as zone 8, which produces less
than 20 per cent. of the States entire
citrus crop.
The present system of processing the
fruit Is by subjecting it to tempera-
ture Of lilo degrees In order to DESTROY
any evidence of the fly that may be
