INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Either Germany is approaching a
state of militaristic rejuvenescence,
dangerous to the rest of the world
or actively and consciously attempt
ing to remove the distractions in the
way of general disarmament. One
cannot be quite sure which.
One reason for doubt in this con-
nection is the spirit of the Franz Won
Papen government which is avOwedly
aggressive, reactionary, and tainted
with a tinge of Hohenzollernism; the
cabinet is composed, largely, of men
of just that type which was instru-
mental in plunging Germany into war
in 1914. On the other hand, the bulk
of the German people has had enough
of war and yearns sincerely for a
permanent state of peace. -
French Opposition,
tions placed on the German note to
France insisting that Germany has a
right to increase her military, naval
and aerial ornaments because the
signatories to the Versailles peace
treaty of 1919 have utterly failed in
filment of their disarmament pledges.
According to the German viewpoint
the question can be reduced to this
very simple alternative: Either the
Versailles signers keep their promise
and disarm down to the level Of present
German ornaments, or Germany must
reserve the right to arm up to the
level of other great powers.
Naturally, the most inflexible op-
position to this plan comes from
France, the diplomatic and political
stingbull of Europe.
Turned Down.
Early this week France informed
Germany that discussion along the
lines suggested cannot be entered
into by these two powers alone. Any
modification of the Versailles treaty
must be considered and decided upon
by all its signers and by the League
of Nations.
That was the official French posi-
tion. Unofficially it was felt, and
said, that the German note was an in
suit, especially when judged in con-
junction with the recent impressive
militaristic demonstrations staged in
Berlin by the national organization
of the war veterans.
Does Not Care!
But whatever the French may
think about it, responsible members
of the German cabinet have intimated
that if the Berlin note goes unheeded,
Germany will absent herself from
future disarmament conferences, and

The accompanying cut shows Mrs.
E. F. Westholm, manager of Mary
LUIS Tavern. in her Memory Gar
den" at this coy family resort, To-
Gated on Highway No. 1, two miles
south of Moose Lake village. 1t is
also on the shores of Coffee lake, just
north of the Pine county line, and
which lake abounds with fish.
Mr.. and Mrs. Westholm and their
children have served the travelling
public at this place for the past four
years and they number their friends
by the hundreds who come back time
and again to enjoy their good meals
and lunches, their friendliness and a
good rest.
The -get-me-not was the first
flower to be planted in Mrs. West
holm's Memory Garden" three years
ago. This was given to her by a
friend and since then she has been
given flowers from So other friends.
The flowers are all perennials and
include petunias, roses, lilies, phloX,
pansies, hollyhocks, gladiola, daisies,
and others. They have come from
friends in the states of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Iowa. Mrs. Westholm
enters the name of the donor in a
book and also the name of the flow
er, in order not to get them mixed
and so she will always know from
what friend the certain flower came.
This Memory Garden" gives her
many happy hours. When tired and
lonely she picks up the book. looks
over the names and the flowers in
the garden and happy memories are
recalled.
Another hobby of Mrs. Westholm's
is the spinning wheel. She has three
of them-one from each of the coun-
tries of Germany, Sweden and Nor
way. They are placed in the long
dining room next to where fireplace
is to be built. The fireplace will be
made from stones and this is also to
be in way that will bring forth
memories. Odd stones are given to
her by friends and in the collection
already gathered are stones from
friends at such distant points as the
Canadian border, the Minnesota iron
mines, the Black Hills of South Da-
kota, from the Pacific coast, and the
Atlantic coast down in Florida. These
stones have been brought to the Mary
Lu Tavern by friends and customers.

PINE COOP BUYS
AT COUNTY SEAT
Local Board Meets With Pine City
Committee and Purchases Pioneer
OTIS Bulk Tanks.

The Pine Coop Oil Association ad-
vanced one step further in successful
operation Friday night when it pur-
chased the two bulk tanks, shed, I'M
loading equipment and a lot 50x150
feet in dimension from the defunct
Pioneer Oil Co. at Pine City.
The purchase was decided upon
after the board of the local associa-
ton met with an organization COM
mittee from Pine City at the latter
place. Much enthusiasm toward
starting a cooperative oil association
is evident at the county seat when
it is seen that SO had signed agree
ments previous to the meeting Friday
night. More are expected to sign in
the near future and at least 200 mem
bers there are expected in a very
short time.
Manager E. j. Cort and Fieldman
Oscar Olson of the Midland Oil AS
ISOLATION of Minneapolis, we're pres
ent at the meeting and assisted with
the details of organization.
Possession of the bulk plant was
taken Immediately and temporary
service pumps will be installed on the
premises as soon as possible and other
outlets for the products of the as
ISOLATION will possibly be arranged
in the future. Addition of this new
equipment and new field to the grow
ing Pine Coop Oil Association will
enable the management to increase
the volume of business with a cor
respondingly lower overhead expense.
The Askov membership amounted to
121 at the time of the organization
of the association in 1929, and has
grown until now it is 1886 with retail
outlets for its products at both Askov
and Hinckley and now with the I'M
usual bargain obtained in the pur-
chase of the bulk station at the
county seat it is very possible that
it will continue to grow at a rapid
pace.

Red Cross Chapter of County is Pre-.
pairing for Relief Work I'm
Fall and Winter.

About 60 people gathered for a
meeting of the Pine County Red Cross
Chapter at the Legion hall in Hinck-
ley Tuesday afternoon, when plans
were enthusiastically discussed for
the fall and winter work to be under
taken in the county. A good repre-
sentation was present from the var
ious communities, including the local
chairmen.
Mrs. A. E. Eddy, Hinckley, county
chairman, presided and Mrs. M. B.
Barron, Pine City, secretary, read the
minutes from the preceding meeting.
L. w. Brown, superintendent of the
schools at Hinckley, told of how the
Red Cross can serve the school and
suggested that the executive commit
tee make contacts with teachers and
school officers for providing clothing
and shoes to needy children. The Red
Cross officers can also assist in find
ing work for high school pupils trying
to work their way through school.
G. M. Pennington, Pine City, treas
urer, gave financial report showing
how and where $3.50 had been spent by
the chapter the past year. The money
had been derived largely through en-
tertainments and membership dues,
also some donation money.
Distribution of Flour.
The flour situation was discussed
and considerable regret was expressed
by the executive committee over the
greed shown by some folks in wanting
more than their share or in the de-
manding of flour by some folks who
did not need it as much as others.
A record is kept of all those who
get the flour. 1t was pointed out that
Congress is making this flour distri-
button from the federal farm board
through the Red Cross showed plainly
that it was intended for the needy
and distressed. Very likely some more
flour will be distributed in Pine
county this fall as was done last
spring.
A limited amount of cotton mater
ials will be received for distribution
this fall. The committee to handle
the distribution of this material was
chosen from Hinckley for the con-
venience of the chairman. They are
Mrs. H. M. Dempsey. chairman; Mrs.
H. G. Swennes, secretary, and Mrs.
Joe Dehler.
The transient problem also came up
for discussion. Folks who are stranded
in various communities of the county
without funds have to be taken care
Of. They are usually given some
money by the Red Cross and sent on
to their destination.
Local chairmen out over the county
will later on conduct share your
clothes" campaign. Each community
is also asked to raise some local funds
for relief work in their communities.
1t was voted to send the chairman
to the regional conference at Roches-
ter on Oct. 5. Another regional con-
ference will be held at Alexandria ON
Oct. Z. The national chairman for
flour distribution will be present at
both meetings and discuss that prob
lem.

SUNDAYS GAME
is SURGEONS
Defeats Brook Park to Take
Championship of Leagues
First Half.
Teams Will Play Deciding
Baseball Games for
Season.

The Sturgeon Lake baseball team
assured itself of another chance at
the Pine County Baseball League
championship when they defeated
Brook Park in a thrilling ball game
at Sandstone on Sunday before a
large crowd. That victory gave the
up-county boys undisputed title to the
first half and making it necessary to
play one or more games to decide
the title for the season.
The game Sunday was marked with
brilliant pitching, fielding and loose
plays. Brook Park started off with
a lead in the first inning when Howdy
John walked, Mcclellan became safe
when Upgren fumbled, Northway hit
one to Nelson who played for John
at the plate but the play was too
slow and John scored, Northway
being safe on first. Mcclellan and
Northway made a double steal and
scored when Westerman singled to
right field. Brook Park scored an
other run in the sixth inning when
Harapat was safe as d. Anderson
fumbled a roller, Pearson forced
Harapat at second, went to third when
Westerman singled to right field and
scored on a bad throw from first base
to the plate.
Sturgeon Lake was held to one hit
by the brilliant pitching of Wester-
man for six innings. In the seventh
with one out Nelson singled, REDEEM
baugh singled, McHale singled scor-
ing Nelson. Bob Olson hit to Wester-
man and McHale advanced to third
and scored when Brown dropped the
ball. In the eighth inning the Lakers
went on batting rampage again,
Jack Cunningham, first up, singled,
d. Anderson tripled over centerfield
scoring Jack, Upgren hunted groun-
plate to catch Anderson but the
catcher dropped the ball and the
tieing run was scored. Nelson singled
but was out when the first baseman
concealed the ball and caught him
mapping. Redenbaugh singled but
was forced at second when McHale
hit to Stanchfield. Mack Anderson
was safe at first by virtue of the
fact that the first baseman failed to
touch the bag when Mack struck out,
the ball being missed by the catcher
and thrown to first. Bob Olson next
up singled scoring Upgren and Nc
Hale.
At this point Johnny Harapat went
in to pitch for Brook Park, Hoaglund
taking third and Westerman going
out Lynn Anderson next up walked,
filling the bases, Jack Cunningham
singled scoring Mack Anderson and
Bob Olson, D. Anderson flied out to
center field to retire the side. Mack
Anderson pitched a creditable game
and showing effective mastery in the
pinches, and the runs scored were
not chargeable to his pitching.
Dewey Wilcox and Eddie Barquist
were the official umpires.
A Championship Series.
The first of series of three games
to decide the championship of the
season will be played between Brook
Park and Sturgeon Lake Sunday on
the Finlayson diamond. The winner
of this game will go to st. Paul to
represent the Pine County League in
the state baseball tournament next
week. Following the tournament the
two teams will complete the series,
for the pennant of the league.
Following is the box score of Sum

'NEWFIGHT seen
FOR SALES AND
BEER LEV|ES

Revision Of the billion-dollar
tax bill passed last session, with
q fight being made to substitute
q manufacturers excise tax and
q tax on beer, appeared today to
be certain result Of the election.
Congressional hackers Of the
proposal I'd repeal miscellaneous
excise and nuisance" taxes and
impose a broad manufacturers
excise tax declared the sales tax
principle gained ground in the
campaign.
Nuisanees Protested
A survey disclosed that scores
OF successful candidates for Con-
gress pledged themselves before
the voters to support both the
sales tax and beer levy.
Candidates who took to the
stump after the close Of Congress
last summer were deluged with
complaints over the nuisance
taxes" included in the emergency
revenue bill after the sales tax
was defeated. they reported.
Revision Seen Necessary
Revision Of the tax bill is
necessary because some of the
levies were made effective for
but one year, according to Sen
ator Reed Smoot (R0 of Utah,
chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee.
The failure of Scent postage,
the bank check and similar taxes
to produce the anticipated reve-
nues has contributed to the diff
cultieS of the Treasury.
