A GOOD MAN FOR AN IMPORTANT
OFFICE

1t was pleasure to the progressive
forces of Pine county to see Floyd B.
Olson, the aggressive and fearless
county attorney of Hennepin county
get the unanimous endorsement for
governor, of all present at the village
hall in Pine City Saturday night.
This seems to be very general at the
county conventions all over the state
this year because of the excellent
record he has made in helping clean
up conditions. especially in the Min
neapolis city council; also his atti-
tude in hiring his force of assistants
at the Hennepin county court house.
The chief requirement he insists on
appOintees to office is efficiency re-
gardless of political affiliations, and
this is no doubt largely the reason
his office has functioned to the best
interests of the people of Hennepin
county. He has ~ assistant county
attorneys. and to my knowledge only
one of these is associated with the
Farmer-Labor party, Mr.. Joe Poirier,
who did most of the heavy work in
the investigation of the Minneapolis
city council. Most of the others have
been independent. Republicans CT
Democrats of long standing. This
fact has gone long way in establish
ing confidence in this mans ability
and sincerity and explains largely
why he has received the remarkable
vote for county attorney from the citi-
zens of Hennepin county.
AS governor of Minnesota, Floyd B.
Olson, l have no doubt, and this
opinion holds with hosts of his sup
porters. will follow out a policy of
appointing men to fill public office
because of their ability and their
sense of public service regardless of
political utilization which is at it
should be.
1t is predicted that Floyd B. Olson
will get the active support of thou
sands of retail business men who are
opposed to the constantly increasing
and banks which they feel are a
menace to the Independent retail mer-
chant in both cities and villages
With farmers whose lot is becoming
more difficult continually with de-
clining prices on wheat, corn. dairy
products and other agricultural com
mOdties there is a feeling and senti-
ment of protest.
Floyd B. Olson is man who pos
sesses youth. good health, fighting
qualities and is interested in the prob
lens of every day man. Born of poor
parents, by constant effort he has
worked himself into position of pub
lie esteem where he enjoys the re-
spect of even his opponents.

ELIMINATING SUBSTITUTES

Butter substitute sales in Pine
county has been practically elimi-
mated through the medium of the in
dependent grocery stores. 1t would
be a good idea If farmers Of Pine coun-
ty, Minnesota. and the Northwest in
general would send individual letters
and petitions to both Montgomery
Ward & Co. and Sears, Roebuck & Co.
to get their support on this most i'm
portant problem. These houses are
kept going largely through the bust
ness they receive from the American
farmers and it is no more than right
that they should cooperate with the
farmers.

difference in size. The feature of
the game without taking any credit
away from each of the boys who
played their prescribed parts with
skill that would make many twice
their size and age feel proud to
achieve-was the work of the Swartz
brothers of Willow River, and especi-
ally of Donald who speedily held down
the position of forward thrOughout
the game chalking one field goal from
near the center of the floor after from
emerging a contested attempt to get
control of the ball. The little fellow
who is in the eighth grade and weigh
ing perhaps less than 100 pounds was
sensation throughout and his speed
in working the ball down was a re-
violation to his mates. His brother
Abbott who captained the team di-
rected the play in an able manner
and himself played large part in
the well-wcrking Weinberger-coached
combination. Besides Donald Swartz
Willow River had another from the
eighth grade on the team and had
only two substitutes neither of whom
were used.
Finlayson by no means were less
popular and skillful throughout the
contest and gained the applause of
the crowd many times during the
game by their teamwork and sports
manship.
The game started fast with the
smaller team playing a seemingly in
spired and desperate game knowing
that the odds as to size were against
them and from the start made it
tough going for their larger opponents.
The first quarter ended with Will
low leading 4 to 2. the next quarter
continued much in the same way
causing the score to stand to at
the end of the half The second half
was a little different story than the
first had been when the Finlayson
boys worked the ball down for nice
close shots at the basket which soon
placed them in the/lead. The quarter
ended 10 to Z in FinlaysOn's favor.
Willow River spurted in the final
period and nearly NOTED the score
making it II to ~ before the gun
which ended the game and sent the
championship trophy to the FinlaysOn
camp and the new basketball used
during the tourney to Willow Rivers
possession by virtue of it's runnerup
position.
The spirit of those taking part in
the tournament denoted the fine
craftsmanship which was instilled in
them and spoke well for the work of
their coaches. Coaches for the teams
were as follows: Finlayson, Supt
Frederic Brandes; Willow River, Supt
Maurice Weinberger; Hinckley, Har-
ry Olson; Bruno. Supt. Chas. F. Nc
Coy.
