INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

To inexpert observers it seems as
though international conferences de-
signed to alleviate the sufferings of
the postwar world, have only sue
ceeded in making them worse, and
have proved hopeless failures. The
more conferences, the greater the
crisis which finally engulfed most
countries.
But to those who think in centuries
rather than in weeks and months,
every such conference does appear to
mark step ahead. Just at the mo-
ment, progress may not be discernible,
but the mere fact that views are
exchanged, opinions presented, con-
ditions compared, affords in itself a
notwithstanding verification of Cali
leo's famous assertion that ''the earth
doth move%
Next Conference.
On Monday next, September 5. a
new conference will begin, and while
it will not comprise all nations, it
will take in lot of territory"
1t is in Stresa, a picturesque town.
about the size of Pine City-in north
ern Italy that delegates from Germ
any, Austria, Belgium, Jugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Switzerland,
France, Roumania, Great Britain, Po-
land, Greece, Holland, Hungary and
Italy will foregather in an effort to
discuss measures for overcoming cur
rency restrictions and increasing the
prices of agricultural products.
This meeting ON the shores of beau
tiful Lago Maggiore is a. direct Off
shot of the, PREPARATIONS conference at
Lausanne some weeks ago, and may
be conceived as sort of preliminary
to the international economic confer
ence which will take place in London
in October.
Situation Desperate.
In Europe it is generally felt that
the economic situation has become
desperate, and that the time for de-
cisive action has arrived. Nothing like
that can be expected from Stresa, but
with the London conference in the
offing, the discussions may develop
into a useful gesture.
Ordinarily the League of Nations
is rather non-committal in. its utter
ances, but a few days ago it's secre-
tariat-general in Geneva found it ne
cessary to issue a quite pessimistic
statement warning the nations of the
world that international obligations
must be scaled down very consider
ably in order to avoid the complete
collapse of the international trade
structure. In sober earnest, the League
pointed out that tariffs-"especially
those of the United States'-and the

than likely that Regain will run
ahead of Brown in a dozen counties
or so. In Stearns county, for ex-
ample, indications are that Cover
nor Olson will lead by a substantial
margin with Regain as runner-up and
Brown a poor third. Roosevelt will
carry the county by a margin of at
least 10000 over Hoover. In all Of
the adjoining territory Roosevelt will
swamp the G. o. P. nominee.
One thing is proving a source of
embarrassment to the Democrats
This is the reactionary record made
by Democratic congressman during
the recent session. To put the stamp
of conservatism firmly upon the fol-
lowers of the jackass, Hoover, in his
speech of acceptance about two weeks
ago, expressed his appreciation of
their fine cooperation in putting leg
islation through congress. This, how
ever, will not operate materially to
the disadvantage of the Democratic
presidential nominee.
FL. Boosters Active.
Farmer-Labor boosters are enthusi-
astic in their work for the party this
year. This is so in practically every
part of the state. Southern Mime
sofa, with the exception of Winona
county, appears to be as ready for the
FarmerLabor message as in any
other section.
This week Cavalcade No. 2 began
its tour of Minnesota. The members
of the Calvalcade are X. X. Solberg,
nominee for lieutenant governor; A..
H. Hoffman, nominee for state treas
urer; Harry H. Peterson, nominee for
attorney general; John T. Lyons,
nominee for secretary of state and
Knud Wefald, nominee for railroad
and warehouse commissioner. All are
able campaigners.
F. H. Shoemaker, nominee for con-
gress, has started on campaign tour
by himself. He has a heavy sched-
ule of meetings. He is, however, an
unusually strong campaigner and will
make his influence felt wherever he
goes.

nus johnson, A. C. Townley and the
writer will spend next week in the
Twin Cities and the week following
will go up in the Range country again
for a few days. The meetings there
are all in charge of Senator George
H. Lommen of Eveleth. Our previous
visit to the Range has rather con-
WINGED me that the Farmer-Labor
candidates have less to fear from the
Republicans and Democrats in that
section than they have to fear from
the Communists. Unemployment and
its attendant hardships have caused
hundreds of the Range workers to
turn to Communism as the way out.
Taking the state as whole, think
am adhering to the truth when
say that it looks like landslide for
the Farmer-Labor slate in November.

P1ayOff Series to Settle

Sturgeon Lake VS.. winner of Mark
ville-BroOk Park playoff. Place not
yet determined.
Brook Park won the championship
of the last half of the Pine County
Baseball League schedule Sunday
when it defeated Pine City to in
the only game played in the league.
Westerman, pitching for the champ
ions, struck out II men and allowed
only s hits. The victory gave the
Parkers six victories and one defeat
for the half.
The boys from Brook Park have
played consistent baseball since the
start of the season and deserve to win
the title which is theirs. However,
it is possibly opined by Sturgeon Lake
followers that it will be a different
story for them to push aside all OPP
position in their quest for the sea-
sons league championship. The first
half was not definitely settled when
play in the second had started. Mark
vile, who came into the league late
by taking Hinckley's place, has post
poned game with Moose Lake and
Brook Park. If Brook Park should
win in this series then that team
will also have chance to take the
first half championship away from
Sturgeon Lake. Likewise if Mark
vile wins then that team will play
Sturgeon Lake for the first half
championship.

A KITCHEN HINT

When cooking spinach, cook to-
gether with few leaves of cress.
This makes the greens into an alto
gether different dish. Even those who
are not so very enthusiastic about the
taste, or non-taste. Of spinach, declare
that this is real good.

KERRICk FAIR
DRAWS WELL
Over 900 Elk h bit This
Year; Also Biggest
Crowd so Far.
Airplane, Baseball, Dance
and Other AmuSementS
Were Provided.

The community of kerrlck put It
self ION the map so to say by the
successful fair held there last Sat-
urday. In some of the past years they
have been rather unfortunate in en-
countering rain or cold weather but
the weather last Saturday was every
thing that could be desired for sue
cessful fair. Cars were lined all
around the school house grounds and
there were so many of them that 1t
was even necessary to park some OF
the cars up town. Approximately
1000 people visited the fair this year
and there were exactly 900 exhibits.
The spacious school building was
made good use of for the exhibits of
grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables
in one room. The potatoes looked
fine and there were corn stalks more
than 10 feet in height. Another room
was provided for the most beautiful
needlework and cookery, and flowers
lent beauty and fragrance to another
room which was also the ladies' rest
room.
Alexander Graham, game warden,
who headquarters at Kerrick, and Val
Barber, Nickerson, who is with the
Minnesota Forest Service, had we'll
arranged display in one room of the
school house which they had arranged
comparatively. There was a good
representation of beaver dam with
its forest, cut timbers and the raised
waters. A buffalo head, found so
miles west of Kerrick, was on display
and products from a Duluth taXider-
mist were viewed by the fair visitors.
Two small live beaver were in a cage
in this room and two other beaver
were in a cage outside. Products
manufactured by the Cloquet Lumber
company out of native timber such as
poplar, birch, and balsam, were dis
played. They included clothes pins.
skewers, tooth picks, and balsam wool
building material.
Ladies Did Well.
The men at Kerrick are hustlers
providing amusements for the crowd,
and keeping everything moving, but
they also have the women in that COM
munity who pitch in and do their big
share to make it success. Not only
were their exhibits excellent but they
provided we'll for the inner man with
good lunches and plenty of them.
The airplane pilot from Minneapolis
provided much amusement with his
stunts and how folks scrambled for
the envelopes containing coupons
when he flew low and let them out
of the bag. The aviator dropped about
so envelopes at time-2O0 all to-
gether-and the prizes in them called
mostly for merchandise.
The baseball game in the forenoon
between Holyoke and Oak Lake was
won by the former team. The game
in the afternoon, between Askov and
Duquette, when the crowd was larger,
was a hard fought one, the Askov boys
being victorious by score of to 5.
There were many other minor en-
tertainment features that kept the
crowd interested throughout and the
big dance in the evening rounded out
a busy day for the Kerrick boosters.
The number of exhibits at the fair
the past four years have been on a
steady increase. Following are the
figures for both the farm produce and
the ladies' department.:
