CRISFTELD. Md, April 30.-Packers
and catchers of crabs In this section
are predicting promising season,
which opens next Monday in the
Chesapeake Bay and all It's tributaries

Last year the crab season was
considered highly successful both from
the standpoint of production of
giving employment to the watermen
of the State. There was a good
supply of both hard and soft crabs at
the beginning of the season and the
number increased, through migration,
as the season advanced.
Due to warm weather Of the past two
Winters, the temperature of the waters
has not been low enough to cause any
heavy freezing in the bay and its
tributaries and there has been no great
loss Of crabs being frozen during cold
spell after they have come out of the
mud during warm weather.

AN AGGRESSIVE
CAMPAIGN is ON
State Being Covered by Labor
Congressional Candidates I'm Auto
With Loud Speaker.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

After three weeks of campaigning
in Minnesota l have become convinced
that Herbert Hoover's chances of
carrying the state are almost nil.
This is not only evident from the sem
timent expressed at meetings ad-
dressed by Magnus Johnson, A. C.
Townley and myself but Republican
leaders themselves.
The editor of a Republican news
paper in Kittson county last Saturday
admitted regretfully that the outlook
for Republican success was not at all
promising. "How will Hoover run
here do you Think" asked him. His
response was, "Not very WE'LL"
AS far as Hoover is concerned, it
would seem that he is all through in
Minnesota. / could quote an indie
pendent editor in the same county to
the same effect.
l asked the Kittson county editor
second question whether he thought
the Republican state and congression-
al slate would fare better than Mr..
Hoover. Eyes, some BETTER" he an
swered. There was a tone of regret
in his voice when he made the ad-
missions as to the hoplessness of the
G. o. P.'s chances in Minnesota this
year.
G. O. p. Leaders Desert.
Another observation made is that
many of the old war horses in the
Republican camp have deserted the
sinking ship. In such conservative
centers as Ada, Detroit Lakes, Crook
ston, Warren. Baudette and Wadena,
the Republican organization has all
but collapsed. When it is kept in
mind that only few men are really
responsible for Republican organiza-
ton in these communities it may be
more fully appreciated what desertion
of its leaders mean.
Another interesting feature of the
present situation is the attitude of

The weather was ideal and each of

and four girls. The present organiza-

ished off with the scattering OF two
or three hundred envelopes over the

yelopes are to contain premium offers
for the bearer, and the scramble is
expected to be a mad one. Some years
ago a somewhat similar attraction
was staged in the manner of an air
plane peanut scramble, but this years
feature will be especially attractive
to everyone from far and near mas
much as very few of the local people

dives, wing-overs, and all the sensa-
tional stunting that will find hearts
in many threats. At the present
writing, the list of prem1um-donors
for the envelope-dropping finds
Bridgeman-Russell Creamery com
pany with an offer of twenty half
dozen bars of candy; the Andersen
Ryan Coffee Co. with twenty-five one
pound cans of Arco coffee; and the
Duluth Herald with twenty-four Or
phan Annie dolls and a weeks sub
scription with each doll. The COM
mittee appreciates the offers made,
and expects number of further en-
tries by the time of the next publ
cation. No charge will be made for
the envelope-scramble, since no
charge is ever made for admission to
the fair; and old and young alike are
benefited. The whole of Pine county
is welcomed and invited to the Big

RED CROSS TO
TAKE UP WORK
County Meeting Held at Hinckley;
Mrs. Eddy is Chairman; Flour,
Cotton to be Distributed.

Realizing the need for help to some
families in practically all parts of
Pine county this winter, a Red Cross
meeting was held at Hinckley on
Thursday afternoon, August 4th, to
lay plans for the future. The meeting
which took place in the Legion hall,
was addressed by Mr.. Meyers of the
national organization and was attend
ed by about so people from different
parts of the county. Mrs. A. e. Eddy
of Hinckley, chairman of the Pine
county chapter, presided at the meet
ing. Mrs. Barron of Pine City, is the
secretary, and C. M. Pennington, Pine
City, is treasurer.
A carload of flour from the Federal
Farm Board was distributed by the
Red Cross to folks in Pine county who
could make good use of it, this spring,
and it is planned to distribute some
more flour this fall. Cotton batten
will likely also be distributed. Folks
in the various communities may gath
err in groups and sew bedding and
clothing for those who need it and
where sickness in the homes makes
it almost impossible for the needy to
do their own sewing. Reminding the
gathering af the war days when the
Red Cross was very active, Mrs. Eddy
said it will be we'll to forget cards
and other amusements and do some
such work again. Mrs. Harvey Reid
of Hinckley, who has had occasion to
visit scores of homes in the county,
said there are many where some
clothing will be welcome and where
it is badly needed.
A general discussion took place in
which folks from various parts of the
county told of the needs in their COM
munities, and how they thought it had
best be handled. Miss Dorothy Demp-
sey of Hinckley, gave a short and in
teresting talk on the Red Cross life
saving course.
Those appointed to the executive
board are the following: Askov, Mrs.
A. Henriksen; Beroun, Leonard Mach
art; Brook Park, Otto H. Ziegler; Bru-
no, w. M. Englund; Cloverton, H. L.
Hughes; Finlayson, Mrs. Victor Sha-
fer; Hinckley, Mrs. Harvey Reid;
Kerrick, J. H. Hogan; Markville, Mrs.
Edith Steinbring; Pine City, Mrs Bar
ron; Sandstone, Mrs. ]. F. Hawley;
| Sturgeon Lake, Mrs. Cunningham; and
Willow River, Mrs. Sexton.
The men and women listed above
are expected to act as an advisory
council, and are subject to call by
the chairman when any question re-
garding the Red Cross requires coun-
| ty-wide attention. They need not
necessarily handle materials for dis
tribution in the county, but are ex-
pected to advise with those who do.
Supt. S. G. Skaaland of Sandstone,
is county chairman for the junior Red
Cross, and Miss Dorothy Dempsey of
Hinckley, chairman of Water Safety
and Life Saving.

FINLAYSON MARKET
AND ICE HOUSE BURN

Finlayson was again visited by
the fire demon when the city
meat market, operated by d. L.
Samuelson, was completely de-
stroyed together with an adjacent
ice house Friday night. Fire
was discovered soon after 1880
p. m. by Fred Holstein and H. T.
Peterson. The fire bell was
sounded Immediately upon seeing
the blaze and in a very short
time a large crowd had assem-
bled to aid Mr.. Samuelson in re-
moving his desk, safe and a great
deal of the goods in the main
part of the store before the heat
drove them out.
About a ton of meat was in the
large ice box, all of which was
burned. The fine frigidaire
counter was destroyed also. There
is insurance to partially cover
the loss to Mr.. Samuelson. The
building belonged to Mr.. Jepson
of Sandstone and was insured.
No plans have been made as yet
for the future.
