HUNTERS TAKE
HOME BACON"
Half q Thousand Buy Licenses From
County Auditor and Many More
From Sub.AgentS.

Five hundred forty big game Ii
censes were issued from the office of
the county auditor this year, with the
total for the county exceeding that
number considerably since there are
several sub-agents in various parts of
the county deputized to issue licenses.
These have not all reported to the
auditors office on the number of IL
censes sold. However, Carl Miller,
sub-agent at Askov, reports the sale
of 1913.
Hunting has been reported as good
this year with many deer killed in
Pine county and by many Pine county
hunters who searched through the
woods in the northern part of the
state. Cars headed southwark on the
highways during the season denoted
the fact that a great number of
hunters captured their quarry and
had it tied on their cars. The plenti-
fulness of deer meat apparently af-
fected the poultry and turkey market
in the cities bringing prices of these
meat products below that of last year.
1t is estimated that about 10000
deer were killed during the season
in the state, which number is 1000
more than that estimated to have
been taken two years ago. Nine
hunters were killed and 25 wounded.

SURPLUS BETTER ON
FARM, SAYS BECKMAN
AT HOLIDAY MEETING

The following report of meeting
held by the ROyaltOn unit of the
Farmers National Holiday Associa-
ton at the Hay Greek school house in
District No. Al on Monday night, Nov
81. is issued by Alfred Walberg, Sec
rotary of the unit.
The school house was well filled
ers. At previous meeting a can
vassing board was elected to solicit
for members throughout the township
and list of 122 names was turned
in to the secretary up to that date,
which proved that board to be hard
and faithful workers.
Election of officers for the year re-
suited as follows: Richard Downing.
president; Herbert Stumne, vice pres
ident; Alfred Walberg. secretary
treasurer: Joe France. VIM. Cort. Ben
ME Stiegen, w. l.. Scott and Ed w.
Peterson, board of directors. County
Chairman Chas. Beckman of Rock
Creek, was next called upon to report
on the progress of organizing
throughout the county. He reported
good progress in townships covered
but had not as yet been able to cover
the county as a whole. He next went
on to explain that the farmers are
in their present position because they
have permitted others to attend to
the business details of farming, and
they will remain in that position I'M
less they learn to act for themselves.
The Holiday association gives them
an opportunity to do so. He also
stressed the need of orderly market
ing. Orderly marketing must include
the surpluses on the farm for sur
pluses in the hands of food specula-
tors means ruin to the farmers. Sur
pluses on the farm will mean control
of production.
Chairman Percy of Pine township,
was present and made a suggestion
that meeting of the officers of the
different townships be called to work
out some plan by which to aid county
chairmen in organization work, but
no action was taken.
Mr.. Sylvander of Grasston, spoke
of the Minnesota Unit of the Holiday
Association commodities exchange
whereby the farmers can exchange
their comm oddities without placing
them on the competitive market by

GRID PLAYERS
TO BE HONORED
Bernie Herman, University OF Mime.
sofa Football Coach, VIII he
Honor Guest.

That the county seat of Pine county
is wide awake and appreciative of
athletes and other organizations
who have made good is once more
evident in the fact that banquet is
being given on Thursday evening,
Dec. 8, in honor of the high school
football team which this year and
last achieved such remarkable sue
cess on the gridiron carrying the ban
ner of Pine City. Pine City fans are
well accustomed to appreciative
events, having in the past staged such
honorary banquets as those for r. p.
Allen, George E. "Rube" Walberg,
and others and the sponsors surely
know how it is done to properly show
their appreciation of successful eff
forts.
~" Coach Will Attend.
This time the football banquet is
being sponsored by the Pine City Com
munity club in the church parlors of
the Methodist Episcopal church and
it is expected that Bernie Bierman,
football coach of the University of
Minnesota, will be present as an
honor guest with the local high school
grid team.
The Pine City football squad has
made an enviable record on the grid
iron in high school circles during the
past two seasons of play when it is
seen that it has amassed a total of
800 points to it's opponents rs. This
year the team pushed aside all oppo-
sition with the exception of one
game which it lost 1t is for this &C
complishment that the boys are being
hOnOred.

Representative Harold r. Atwood of
Winona, progressive of many years

for Chas. Mum as speaker of the
House. This was seconded by Repre-

Legislature about twenty years ago,
and was just returned to the Legis-
lature by his people on Nov. 9Th.
Seconding speeches for the nominal

PRESIDENTIAL VOTE
UNDER 40 MILLIONS

Near final election figures compiled
by the Associated Press. although not
official, show that 37,145,662 people
voted for president of the United
States at the recent general election.
Out of this number of votes, Roose-
welt received 21,357,057: Hoover, 49,
O91, 259; Thomas. Socialist, 616,185;
Upshaw, Prohibitionist. 80 6S4; Foster,
Communist, 21,722; Harvey, Liberty
Party, 21,2S2; Reynolds, Socialist-La-
Dor party, Sab.
The Thomas vote is very surprising
to many people since it was pre-
dicted by many political observers be-
fore the election that the Socialist
candidate would receive more than a
million votes.

Fellow Citizens of the State of Min
sofa:
The voters of this state expressed
their desires in no uncertain terms
on the 9Th of November when they
elected a ma jority of the Minnesota
delegation to Congress from amongst
the progressives. Likewise did the
voters choose four progressives for
state offices out of six to be elected
including the governor, lieutenant
governor. attorney general, and rail-
road and warehouse commissioner.
Governor Floyd B. Olson received
an even bigger vote in 1882 for re-
election than he did in 1880, and his
plurality vote was also greater this
year.
1t stamps the approval of his lead
ership, his program and his policies.
on the part of the electorate. 1t is a
mandate from the people-an ex-
pressed desire to have the progress
sive principles carried into effect.
A big majority of the voters also
elected the governors running mate,
Lieutenant Governor X. X. SOlberg,
to preside as chairman of the Senate
during the next session of the Legis-
lature. 1t is naturally the wish Of
the people as expressed in their vote
that the lieutenant governor appoint
committee chairmen and assign the
various members of the Senate to
their committee memberships. This
has been the rule in the Senate for
the past 40 years except for the 1881
session when the power of committee
assignments was taken away from
Lieutenant Governor Henry Arens by
conservative and reactionary senator's
They rode rough shod over the lieu
tenant governor in their effort to de-
feat the program of Governor Olson
and all the other progressives.
The conservative and reactionary
senators will make an effort again
in the 1898 session of the Legislature
to take the committee appointments
| out of the hands of the lieutenant
governor. Two new senators have
been elected to fill vacancies and an
| other senator is soon to be chosen in
the city of Minneapolis in a special
election. With three new senators
and more caution on the part of 9TH
ers, knowing that there will be cleo
ton of all the senators in 1934-and
realizing the mandate given the Leg
islature by the voters so recently, it
is not expected that the old guard
will be able to muster enough votes
to OstraciZe the lieutenant governor
Mr.. Solberg was chosen by the people
to be a helpmate to Governor Olson
in the enactment of progressive leg
lslation and this can best be accom-
plished from the start by leaving in
his hands the committee assignments
Speaker Has Advance Work.
But the lower House of the Legis-
lature-the House of Representatives
of which l am member, presents
different problem. The voters Of
the state do not choose the chairman
of this body who is called the speaker.
This presiding officer is chosen from
amongst the membership and by the
members of the House. The speaker
is generally chosen at a caucus some
weeks before the Legislature meets
which for the coming session will be
January the Bird, 1888. The speaker
appoints the committee chairmen and
assigns the members to the various
committees in the House as does the
lieutenant governor in the Senate.

making sure that their loads do not
