Harley Sees G. o. p. Defeat.

Republican leaders, Mr.. Farley said
tonight, realize they are defeated on
the facts, so they are trying to win with
fables"
In an advance text Of a radio address
given out by his campaign aides, Farley
said:
II believe I am safe in saying the Re-
publican party has not originated new
idea in half q century. Such departures
as there have been In Republican poll
cies and platforms have been forced
upon them by the pressure Of political
expediency, and even In these departure

Praising the spirit of confidence
and harmony in the republican
ranks, e. L. Mcmillan, chairman of
the state central committee, an
nounced today that the party's ex-
ecutive committee will be called
together within the next week to
launch officially the G. o. p. drive.
During the past ten days organ
ization meetings have been held in
every section of the state" McMil-
Ian said. These meetings have
been largely attended and the coun-
ty committees have come togeth-

ahead.
There has been no sign of lack
Of interest, but on the contrary
every part of the state is intensely
interested and ready to get into the
battle.
MANY meetings. are planned for
the next two months, when the can
didates will carry their message to
the voters, and present their case
for consideration. They will have
the backing of strong precinct,
county, and district organizations
of men and women of the finest
type, who will give the candidates
an enthusiastic and spontaneous
support.
1.-The issues of the campaign are
clear. There will be no lodging of
the questions before the voters. The
Republicans are not afraid to pre-
sent their case all down the line.
Minnesota Republicans are
wide-awake to the task before
them. Closer harmony prevails in
Republican ranks in Minnesota
than has existed for some years.
There is universal satisfaction with
the ticket. --~~.- --.--.-.-
Republicans recognize in Presi-
dent Hoover a leader worthy of
their enthusiastic support, and they
are going to keep Minnesota in the
Republican column.
There is particular interest be-
ing shown in the personnel of the
Congressional ticket. In all parts
of the state, the feeling is that it
would have been impossible to
hand-pick a better Congressional
ticket. The candidates for Con-
gress on the Republican ticket are
more fairly distributed from a geo.
graphical standpoint than those
on any other ticket, and there is
much enthusiasm over the fact that
each of the nine has a splendid
background of experience in legis-
lative and statewide affairs.

popular everywhere. Earle Brown

For the past week workmen in

nual Stearns County Fair, whose
gates swing open to the public Fri
day morning, and will close with
an elaborate display of fireworks
Sunday evening.
A couple of years ago Deputy
Game Warden Fred Mossman ar
ranged an interesting display of
live and stuffed animals and fowl
and Indian relices, representing the
department of conservation of the
State. These displays have grown
in interest and importance each
year. Mr.. Mossman has gone to
even greater trouble to make the
display more interesting for this
years fair. The display will in
clude live deer, bears, racoons, and
other animals. Tanks with run
mig water will show large var
iety of large fish produced by the
lakes of this section. This display
will be found in the Sank Centre
building and should be seen by
every person attending the fair.

started few years ago, there were
MANY who doubted whether taxes
could be reduced by reducing pub

Robt. Falk
Had a Fine
Experience
Sailed From Liverpool Aug.
10 After Extensive Tour
Through Europe
AN EDUCATIONAL TRIP
Educators Sponsor Plan to
Give Young Men Educa-
tional Advantages

Robert w. Falk, formerly of
Sank Centre, who is spending
three months studying in Europe,
sailed from Liverpool on the S. S.
Britannia, arrived in New York
Aug. 10Th. Bob has been studying
at the American Peoples College
at Oetz and taking an extensive
field trip through Europe under
the auspices of a department of
the college. ~..s
On his study tour, Bob has spent
time in Paris, Geneva, Germany,
Finland, Denmark, and England.
The longest stop was made at the
American Peoples College located
here in the heart of the Tyrolean
Alps.
Bob has been with a group
which is especially interested in
the development of the youth
movement abroad. Other special
parties of American Peoples Col
lege students sail at other times in
the summer and fall for study at
the college and for trip through
Europe in connection with the
courses there.
While many students spend
from ten weeks to three months
abroad, emphasis is being placed
on the six and nine months
courses which begin late this sum-
mer and in September.
The college, which is being spon-
sored by group of American edu-
Gators, including DR.. John Dewey
of Columbia University; Bruce
Bliven, editor of the new Repub-
lie; DR.. Harry A. Overstreet of the
College of the City of New York |;
and George S. Counts of the Inter
national Institute, Columbia Uni
versity, has its basis on the idea
of giving higher education to
American young people regardless
of their former school work.
Carrying out this ideal of an in
formal but stimulating liberal edu-
cation, the advisory committee has
eliminated formal textbooks, ex-
aminations, and grading, in the
belief that the reward for attend
ance is in increasing the inner
worth Of the student and his abil-
ity to meet life situations more
adequately.
Because of it's educational pro-
gram, the American Peoples Col
lege has been able to obtain sub
stantial reductions for it's field
trips through Europe from govern
ments, educational agencies, youth
movement centers and other Or
CARNATIONS so that it can offer a
college course abroad, including
all tuition, travel and living ex-
penses, at no more than the cost
of a years schooling in the United
States.

The child the second son to be
born ito the Lindberghs, was born
at the Morrow home here five
months and Is days after the first
baby was kidnapped from the
Lindebergh home in Hopewell, N.
].
The fact that Mrs. Lindbergh
was expecting a second child be-
came generally known only after
the first son, Charles A. Lindbergh
Jr., was kidnapped. She was under
constant medical care during the
long search for the baby and his
kidnapers and has been in retire
ment since her return to the home
Of her mother here several weeks
ago.
Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow, after
the first baby had been found
dead and Mrs. Lindbergh had Civ
en- proof of such fortitude that 1t

to leave her, went for brief visit
abroad with others of her children
and only recently returned to be
with Mrs. Lindbergh at this time.
Mrs. Lindbergh astounded the
world, from the very moment her
first baby was kidnapped by the
strength with which she met the
tragic situation into which fate

of her father, Senator Dwight w

she and Colonel Lindebergh were

Sig Haugdahl at
MINI. State Fair
VIII Drive Rocket Propelled Car
As Added Attraction Sept

The only rocket propelled rae
ing car in the world will be an
added attraction at the Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Live
stock Chow, September 8 to 10, It
was announced today by Raymond
A. Lee, secretary.
Arrangements have been conclud-
ed with Sig Haugdahl, Minnesota
race driver and four times holder
of the worlds dirt track champion
ship, to exhibit the rocket car. The
speed creation, developed by
Haugdahl after two and one-half
years of experimentation is the
first racing vehicle designed pri-
marily for rocket propulsion. 1t
was built at a cost of more than
$4,000 and has been proved sue
cessful in recent trials.
Haugdahl's car is equipped with
80 tubes, IS inches long, into which
are packed rockets of a special
chemical mixed with gunpowder.
The rockets are ignited by a
spark gap controlled from the
dash board.
The theory which drives the car
is exactly the same as that which
sends a sky-rocket high in the air.
tThe pressure of the burning chem
icaI and powder against the air
gives the car it's motive power.
Although Haugdahl has attained
a speed of Is miles an hour in
trials the purpose of bringing the
car here is not to demonstrate
speed but to give Fair visitors an
opportunity to see the newest con-
tribution to the automobile world.
The car itself is constructed on
a racing chassis, with lines care
fully stream-lines and with a stab
ilizing fin at the rear. The propul-
sion tubes are of steel especially
fabricated to resist high temporal

beIous Western Trip
DIR. and Mrs. w. johnson Witness
Olympic Games At
Los Angeles

DR.. and Mrs. Wifred johnson
have returned from an extended
auto tour through the great North
west, and extreme West.
Forgetting all professional and
business cares they left Sank Cen
ire early on the morning of July 18,
enrouts for the West. The evening
of July 10 was spent in the Black
Hills. Early on the morning of
July 20 they passed through the
marvellous Needles Drive and the
Gorgeous Rock Formations and
over the Big Horn, reaching an al
titude of $500 feet. At this point
DR.. and Mrs. Johnson snowballed
each other in late July.
Yellowstone National Park was
entered by the Cody Drive. All of
the interesting camping and exter-
ior beauties of the Park including
the outbursts of "Old Glory" were
enjoyed by DR.. and Mrs. johnson.
Travelling west and northwest
they arrived at San Francisco a
couple of hours before the parade
OF the Mystic Shrlners.
DR.. and Mrs. johnson arrived
at Los Angeles in time to attend
the National Junior Chamber of
commerce convention at Hunting
ton Hotel, Pasadena, Aug. SO.
DR.. and Mrs. Johnson attended
the atheletic exhibitions from al
most every country on the globe.
The itinerary planned by the Sank
Centre folks would not permit
them to remain for the completion
of the Olympia, but they had seen
enough to convince them that the
boys and girls of OUR country
would prove their superiority
against the rest of the world.
The finals proved that the con-
illusions of DR.. and Mrs. Johnson
were correct. Uncle Sam led the
world in almost every line of ath-
letic activity by wide margin.

Sank Centre 8: Melrose 2


Sank Centre closed it's baseball
season in blaze of glory, when the
topnotchers, Melrose, were toppled
by the score of 8 to 2. It was a
ball game such as local fans have
not witnessed in years, and with it
came the locals chance to compete
in the championship finals. Sank
Centre has now won and lost to
every team in the league.
Soltau, was in superb. form, and
the first twenty-one men were TAX
en- either at first base or by the
strikeout route. Melrose got it's
first hit In the seventh inning and
with an error at second and an
other hit scored the first counter
for 1 to o score.
In the first of the eighth Melrose
threatened again, for with three
men on bases the side was retired
without damage. Matchinsky was
safe on an error at third, Carlson
hit safe, Lemm flew out to short
and Matchinsky was caught when
Olson threw the ball home; A.
Moening was safe on an error at
short; B. Moening was safe on a
fielder's choice, when H. Moening
was taken second to first. It was
an exciting inning and looked bad
for the locals.
In the eighth Sank Centre tied
the score. Benson famed; Butler
was safe on a walk; and he stole
second; Holt went out short to
first; Soltau was walked and But
Ter scored on Dahlem's hit; Soltau
was on third when Dahlem at
tempted to steal second and was
caught third to second after the
play had been made at third for
Seltau and was missed. One hit,
two walks, and one score.
In the ninth Melrose got an
other counter. Kramer, first up, got
nice single; kaufman few out to
centre field and Kraemer went to
second when Benson threw bad to
first; T. Moening hit safe and Kuhl-
man scored; Matchinsky few out
to second and Carlson was taken
at first unassisted. Two hits, one
error, one run.
With the score two to one in the
last of the ninth, Olson famed;
Frank few out to second and it
looked as though the game was
about over. But who can tell, for
at that stage of the game Paul May
ers received a walk and went to
second on an error on the catcher,
when he threw wild to second;
Hopkins was hit on the elbow;
Benson hit one to second, who let
it pass between his feet and Paul
scored; Hopkins came home when
Butler was safe on f1elder's choice
