7 CANDIDATES
FOR SHERIFF
Last Filing Day Tuesday
Brings Out Additional
Candidates.
Contests for Auditor, Sher-
Tiff, and Commissioner,
Third District.

The last day of filing for county
offices-Tuesday- out four
more candidates-two for auditor and
two for sheriff. This makes three
candidates for the office of auditor
and seven for sheriff-the two most
sought offices in the county this year
1t also means that there will be a
contest in the primaries, June 10th
on those two offices, the two candi-
dates for each office that receive
the highest vote then to battle it out
in the fall election. With three can
didateS for commissioner in the Third
district they will also have a primary
contest there.
There will be no primary battle
for register of deeds, and county SUI
perintendent of schools as there are
only two candidates for each office.
The same holds true of the Legislative
offices from this county-senator and
representative-nO primary battle as
there is but two filings for each office.
The county attorney and treasurer
are as much as elected as there is
but one filing for each of those offices
the incumbents, which means that
there will be no primary contest nor
will they come up at the general cleo
ton unless there are filings by petit
ton which is improbable. None have

Club Standings,

The Pine County Baseball Leagues
play Sunday caused one team to be
pushed from the perfect percentage
berth when Hinckley, who had held
that honor briefly with Moose Lake
and Sturgeon Lake, lost to Brook
Park. Moose Lake and Sturgeon Lake
both survived their battles with Sand
stone and AskOv respectively to retain
the leagues lead with two winnings
each. Pine City raised themselves
| from the mire to a percentage of 1873
when they defeated FInlayson 10 to 4
on their home grounds.
Sundays baseball games were all
rather one-sided compared with those
of the previous week with Sturgeon
Lake beating Askov by the score of 30
to to make the leagues high score
for this season and Brook Park
trOuncng Hinckley by a 22-to-6 score
for second in lopsidedness Although
some may be inclined to judge the
caliber of the teams by the scores
OF the respective games, this cannot
always be done, since it will be seen
at times in professional play that
teams often run up a large score to
defeat another team which may have
Ftrounced them the. day before.
Three home runs were knocked in
the league Sunday when Bobby Olson
of the Sturgeon Lake team, Lammerts
of Hinckley, and John of Brook Park,
each circled the bases. Bobby Olson,
perhaps was the most sensational bat
ter when he gathered five hits out
of seven times at bat, among which
were one home run, three baggers,

LAND O'LAKES
HELPS GREATLY
Aided by Farm Board, Brandt Tells
OF Work i'm Stabilizing
Butter Prices.

Following is a statement of John
Brandt, president of Land O'Lakes
Creameries, Inc, on the work done by
Land O'Lakes Creameries. Inc, with
the aid of the Federal Farm board,
to stabilize butter prices. American
readers will all be interested in what
has actually taken place with re-
spect to the Land O'Lakes Cream
cries participation in stabilizing but
ter prices since the first of the year
and just what the loan from the farm
board has done to assist in this work.
Mr.. Brandt's statement follows:
ION January Z the Dairy Advisory
committee of the farm board was
called into session. On that day the
market quotation for New York EX-
tras was SO cents and for Chicago EX-
tras 35 cents. Storage reports showed
a surplus of some 40,O00,00O pounds in
storage over and above the same period
in 1929. The Dairy Advisory COM
mittee made very careful study of
the trends of the markets and found
that the market had only reached the
low point once since 1914. These low
prices would result in curtailing of
production where we would have
shortage later on, resulting in ex-
IRENE high prices that would benefit
neither producer nor consumer as
wide fluctuating prices are always
detrimental to an industry.
The Dairy Advisory committee
asked the Land O'Lakes Creameries if
they would be willing to attempt to
hold the market so it would not go
lower provided the Farm Board would
be willing to loan them sufficient
money tO>buy on the open market and
withhold some of their own surplusses
from the market, this money to be
loaned entirely at the risk of Land
Creameries and on the basis
of our own credit standing. There
is only one provision and that is
that the farm board would not call
the loan even though the market
were to go lower, thus giving the

Farm Produce
Shipments Gain
Rutabaga and Potato Export From
Askov IN 1929-9O Amounts
to SIS Cars.

That Askov and this section of Pine
county is growing, is evidenced by the
fact that since 1925 each year there
has been an increase in the number oil
cars of rutabagas and potatoes ship
ped through the local depot via Great
Northern freight. From July 1, 1925
to July 1, 1926, 3S7 carloads of these
two principal crops were shipped and
during the same period in the follow
ing year, 1926-27, 41S cars were
shipped In 1929, 443 cars left the
local depot and 491 were sent to out
side points in 192S-29. During the
current year, 1929-3O, shipments of
SIS cars of rutabagas and potatoes
have already been consigned to out
side points with a possibility of ap-
proximately three more cars to be
made up.
During 192S-29, of the 491 cars
shipped, 440 were rutabagas and 81
were potatoes The SIS cars shipped
already i'm 1929-3O included AS cars
of rutabagas and 70 of potatoes.
Along with the rutabaga and po-
tato shipments there were 35 carloads
of cattle and cars of mixed sheep,
calves and hogs shipped in 192S-29
This figure, however, is slightly un-
der the total shipments for 1929-3O,
since 40 carloads of cattle and 1 of
hogs left the local yards. In 192S-29
there were five cars of wood shipped
out while during the current year
there have been 10 cars of pulpwood
shipped.
Inbound freight during 192S-29
to 1874 cars while in 1929-3O
1876 cars arrived here for local con-
Even though last year was
dry there was one car less of feed
shipped into Askov than during the
previous year which makes it appar-
ent that the farmers are raising more

1000 Miles With
No Pilot, Record

In this day and age when nom
stop ocean flights and solo endur-
ance flights are taking place fire.
quently anything might happen
and that anything" seems to
have happened recently when a
lighter-than-air craft embraced
in the thin and frail fuseIage of
a toy balloon made a lone eagles
flight all the way from Tacoma,
Wash, to Little Oak lake near
Kerrick, this county.
How is this known?
Well, G. A. Ferguson of Ker-
rick, was exploring the shores of
Little Oak on May 13 and came
upon the little balloon, apparently
exhausted from it's flight and up
on reading the note attached to it
found that it had been sent upon
its pilgrimage in December by
Fulton Burnett, IA, living in the
Washington city. Tacoma is 1000
miles from Kerrick.
The letter from Burnett to Mr..
Ferguson follows:
Il received, your letter saying
you found my balloon or the re-
mains of it. | certainly was sur
prised and so were the whole fam
lily.
You wanted to know the his
tory of the balloon. Well, there
isn't much history other than l
let the balloon go about week
before Christmas. There isn't
any need in telling you this be-
cause the newspaper got hold
of it and told all about it so |
will just send you paper.
Il forgot to mention that l got
this balloon from the Shell gas
station which gives them away
every Christmas. They also came
and took my picture.
you might like to know that
the population of Tacoma exceeds
100000 although you may not
find it on the map.
I'VE have one of the most beau
tiful harbOrs of the west.
THE paper I'm sending is Ia
coma's largest paper
Il thank you for writing to me
and hope you will do it again.
Yours truly,
Fulton Burnett.
p. S. If you have that balloon
and do not prize it. too highly
I would appreciate 1T If you will
send it to me with the note"

Washington, May 2S-NOwhere are
groups of impatient school children
watching the advent of the vacation
period with greater Impotence than
Congressional and Administration

ment is becoming more insistent On
one hand, the President is pressing
for action on the tariff bill and the
naval treaty. while Congress is en-
deavoring to find short cut to es-
cape from official duties without
bringing complications costly to their
political careers. The strain of de-
bate and bitter attacks is manifest
in all quarters so that warning fac
lions are willing to rid themselves of
each others presence. Yet, each
clique is naturally hesitant about
making the first move Belated rec
ignition has been given in Congress
to the effect their chickering's have on
business depression. The tentative
legislative program calls for shelv-
ing many important measures so that
the curtain may be rung down by
June IA.
Uncertainty as to what Congress
will do next has obviously slowed
down promotion activities Of trade as
