) the contest. Today's is the
sixth picture.
You are to cut out the pic
lures and paste 'em in a book.
You can use any kind of a
book. Make it yourself If you
wish.
Only remember the books are
to be judged partly on neatneSs.
So make your little book as
neat and attractive as possible.
On the cover print your name
and address. This is important
as we want to keep the books
as uniform as possible to assist
us in correcting them.
Inside (but in the front of
the book give the number Of
the picture and these three
facts concerning the animal:
Name.
It's native habitat.
Where it can be loacted at
the ZOO.
That means is it in the lion
house, or antelope house or bear
denS, or where?
Some of the out-of-town mem
berS have objected to that last
question, feeling that to answer
it will neceSSitate a trip to the
zoo. AS a matter of fact, that
is one of the purposes of the
contest. We want you kids to
go to the Zoo frequently. It's a
grand place to visit, and you
not only can have a lot of fun
but learn "a lot about animals.
II you live too far out of Wash
ington you might write the Zoo
about the animals. But if we
were you we'd wait until the
very end to do that. So you
could ask about all of them at
+ once and not be a bother.
At the end of the contest
there is going to be a big show
at the Rialto Theater where
everyone who has competed will
be admitted free. At the close
of the afternoons program the
prizes will be awarded by the
Rialto management. They are
$40 first, SIS second, $3.50 third
and twelve 81 prizes.
The prize winning books will
be on display in the Rialto
lobby.
The Rialto Theater, and this
is in addition to the animal
contest they are sponsoring,
wants ALL you kids to come to
the theater Saturday morning
and see the Babe Ruth films.
The show goes on at 1890
o'clock and you will be admitted
by showing your Adventure
Club membership card. If you
haven't your card get it as soon
as possible if you want to see
Babe in action in one of the
speediest films ever made Of
him.

SANDSTONE

A very bad accident took place on
a highway west of Sandstone Satur-
day evening when Roy Peters, who
was returning home from dance ac-
companied by George Gilliver and Ray
LaPage had a front tire blowout
which resulted in the Ford sedan they
were driving to turn over several
times damaging it badly. The occu-
pants were all badly shaken up but
came out of the accident rather for
tunately as one of them received any
broken bones.

HOGS STEADY;
CATTLE LOWER
Hog Trade Slow but Mostly Steady;
Cattle Market Weak to CSC Off;
Lambs 25c Up.

(By U: s. Bureau Of Agricultural Eco.
nomics and Minnesota Department OF
Agriculture.)
South St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 1, 1882:
Moderate loadings of hogs here failed
to make for much of anything in the
way of price improvement although
late trade carried an undertone OF
strength. Closely sorted 100 to 220
pound butchers sold largely at $4.45
to $4.55, medium grades of these
weights at $4.OO to $4.25, while 220 to
800 pound butchers of better grade
cleared at $3.50 to $4.45, heavier
weights and palmer kinds down to
$3.50. Desirable pigs and light lights
sold at $4.OO to $4.25, plain kinds to
$500. Better packing sows scaling
$50 pounds down cashed at $3.50 to
$3.55, heavierweights down to $500
and below.
In line with outside trends trade
in the cattle division ruled slow and
weak to in spots 25c lower, palmer
grassy offerings showing the decline.
The meager quota of fed steers turned
at $500 to $7.75, odd lots to $3.50,
grassy steers $6.25 down, mostly from
$3.50 to $3.50. Grass COWS centered at
$3.50 to $3.50, heifers $500 to $3.50,
grassy Montana yearlings to $6.25, fed
yearlings to $7.75, while common
grassers along with all cutters CEN
tered at $1.50 to $3.50 Medium grade
bulls bulked at $3.50 to $2.S5, vealers
ruling steady to soc lower and CEN
tering at $3.50 to $3.50.
Fat lamb prices ruled Csc higher,
good natives centering at $500, bucks
at $500, while choice range lambs
carried bids of $625. Medium choice
yearlings sold at $3.50 to $3.50,
slaughter ewes from $3.50 down.
Feeders and StOckers.
Outlet for feeder and stocker cattle
was slow but about steady, ordinary
natives clearing at $500 to S4.OO, best
Montana stockers to $5.15. Stock pigs
ranged from S4.0O to $4.25, with feed
er lambs salable from $3.50 down for
natives, westerns S4.0O to $3.50.

speech printed in the appendix of the
Congressional Record after the ad-
journment of Congress. Tilson is
planning to return to private life and
the practice of law in his home state.
The Federal Farm Board is now
under violent attacks from all Sec
tions of the country. When the board
was created and publicized as the
"redeemer of the farmer" applications
for positions were received from all
parts of the country, most of them
deeming it a privilege to be affiliated
with an undertaking of such gigantic
proportions and willing to work for
compensation lower than they had
been receiving. The attacks on the
board are not pleasing to those in
high command in the Republican
ranks, but are not offensive to Demo
cratic ears for the board was in
augurated during the Republican con-
troll of Congress and during the
Hoover Administration.
Members of Congress will not have
an opportunity of passing the buck
regarding appointments to the An
napolis Naval Academy and West
Point Military Academy in the future.
Heretofore, lawmakers have made
numerous appointments and placed
the onus on the Civil Service Com
mission to conduct competitive exam
nations and determine the winners.
Now it will be necessary to make per-
sonal selections of young men from
their districts for these military ap-
pointments as the commission has an
nounced that because of reduced ap-
preparations it will not conduct eX-
aminations of this character.
One of the effects of depression and
unemployment is an enormous in
crease in the pressure on members
of Congress, especially Senators, for
government jobs. When the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation was
formed in February job-seekers nearly
ran members of Congress ragged.
Now similar rush is on in cOnnec-
tion with the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board. This board will be COM
posed of six commissioners and gen.
eral counsel. 1t is understood that
one state has recommended six candi-
dates for each of the seven jobs.

Washington, August 3-Evacuation
by force of the Bonus Expeditionary
Force, which has been quartered in
the Nations Capital for the past two
months, and calling of Federal troops
to maintain order during the past
week has aroused the citizens to
high pitch. To those who went lover
there" the spectacle must have re-
called the days in the Argonne and
Chateau Thierry. The marching of SOL
diers, tear gas bombs, and changing of
horses hoofs, gave the city unpreced-
ented scenes long to be remembered.
An investigation is now underway by
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia to determine the cause of the
disorders, which it is believed will
bring forth some startling disclosures.
With the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation board completed by the
appointments of former Senator Atlee
Pomerene of Ohio and Charles A. Mil
ler of New York, the complicated bus
mess of administering $500,000,0 900 in
hunger relief loans has been started.
More than half of the amount appro-
priated has already been requested by
13 states, and indications are that
requests for twice as much money as
Congress made available will be filed
with the Corporation during the next
few weeks. The relief act contem-
plated that any state asking help in
caring for it's needy should be given
the money up to Is per cent of the
total fund, as soon as it's governor
filed an application in correct form.
However, if the Corporation attempts
to make thorough survey of the re-
sources of all states and communities,
loans may be considerably delayed

son, a member of Congress from Con-

Colonel Tilson has not been par

Mr.. and Mrs. Vagn Miller, who have
spent several weeks at the home OF
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Knud Pies
ner, left Monday morning for Chicago
where they have secured employment.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. C. Nielsen and
daughter, Valentino, of Lincoln, Nebr..
came Wednesday night of last week
and visited few days at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jens B. Jensen. Mr..
Nielsen is a brother of Mrs. Jensen.
The Nielsens had not been here for
seven years and needless to say they
were much impressed with the
changes which have taken place in
the community since that time. Be-
fore coming here they visited at the
F. Clarey Nielsen home in Centuria,
Wis.
The Sunday school class, taught by
V. S. Petersen, left Tuesday morning
for the north shore of Sturgeon lake
where they were scheduled to spend
three days camping. Those who went
on the outing were, Ansgar Clausen,
Arthur Christensen. Leroy Eriksen,

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Back from Ra-
cine, Wis, and Chr. Mossberg from
Minneapolis, were visitors in Askov
Saturday and Sunday, being guests at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Svend Pc
tersen. Mr.. Back is announcer for the
Danish programs which are broadcast
once week from the radio station
at Racine, the only station in the
country which puts on one hour
Danish program every week. In con-
junction with the band concert in the
park Saturday evening Mr.. Back
played several of his Danish records
on a phonograph loaned from the
Askov Variety Store. The volume was
not sufficient for the open air ar
rangement but otherwise the repro
duction was good and enjoyed by the
audience. Mr.. Back announced each
number with an appropriate eXplana-
tory remark just as he would have
done over the radio. Mr.. Back and
Mr.. Mossberg are both in the seed
business in their respective cities and
thus are naturally very interested in
all kinds of plants, trees, etc. While
here they had a chance to feast"
upon the beauties at the Ferndale
Nursery, Peter Hermansen's rock gar
den and Mr.. and Mrs. Chr. Frederik-
sens rock garden. AT the latter place
they were particularly we'll impressed
with the natural beauty and harmony
Of the layout. Mr.. Back has in form
er years been landscape architect and
gardener for some of the wealthiest
men in the country and is thoroughly
acquainted with that work, but that
was before the rock gardens became
popular. He is not much enthused
over the average modern rock garden.
From here Mr.. Mossberg returned to
Minneapolis, while Mr.. and Mrs. Back
went to the northern part of the state
for trip through the Range country.
