Book About kreuger.
Mrs. Ingeborg Eberth, Stockholm,
announces that she is planning to
publish in English-and in this coun-
try-a book about Ivar Kreuger, the
sOcalled international match king
whose suicide two months ago caused
revelations which placed him in any,
thing but a flattering light Mrs.
Eberth was bequeathed 100000 in the
Kreuger will, but as that document is
not valid she will not receive a penny;
she claims to have known Kreuger
more intimately than any one else,
and now she will tell the world what
she knows.
Coming In July.
Jean Hersholt, famous film actor
who is president of the Danish-Amer-

Olympic Games in Los Angeles will
arrive in New York on July 10 and

they will spend a week in acquainting
themselves with the stadium, and by
training, and from August 1 to II will
take part in the international games.

r. NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION vtcuA

Washington, May IS - History's
pages have been turned back in an
effort to keep Congress on the job
during the hot summer months. Old
timers have directed their colleagues
attention to the fate of the Cleveland
Administration under political and
economic conditions similar to those
now prevailing. The warnings are
apparently emanating from the Re-
publican side, though the opposition
party displays equal interest in the
comparative eras. Tentative plans
call for an adjournment June 10, but
under cover movements indicate a de-
sire to return after the nominating
conventions. The argument advanced
for a recess is based on the time ele-
ment that Congress cannot possibly
dispose of vital public problems in
the next three weeks. The propon-
ents of adjournment insist that the
temper of the people is such that
closing down the Congressional mill
will be considered advantageous and
a stablizing factor.
The deadly parallel which haunts
some groups brings the reminder that
the Democrats lost control of the Ad-
ministration from Clevelands time to
Wilson's in 1913. In 1894 the Treas

The baseball league season in Pine
county, when seven teams will COM
pete this season, was placed under
way Sunday at which time two games
were played. Willow River defeated
Brook Park there in a feature lin
ming thriller by score of Z to 3,
while Sturgeon Lake invaded the
camp of Finlayson and took away the
long end of an to score in five in
nings before bieng rained out. Rain
prevented also the playing of any part
of the Sandstone-Pine City game, and
Hinckley did not qualify for a posi-
ton in the league thus causing Moose
Lake to remain idle. Efforts are be-
ing made for entry of another team
in the league.
Errors were numerous, 13 being
made in the 16 innings of play. Stur-
geOn Lake was charged with only one
for the least number made by the
participating teams. Willow River
made two to come in second on max
ing good all chances at fielding the
ball, while Brook Park and Finlayso on
each made 5.
Thirty hits were made and would
indicate that the two contests were
hit and run affairs. Mack Anderson
pitching for Sturgeon Lake, 1881
champions of the league, was the
stingiest with hits allowing only in
the 80 that were made. Westerman
of Brook Park and Peters for Willow
River struck out IA and Is batsmen
respectively. Klar of Finlayson,
struck out five as did Anderson of
Sturgeon Lake.
The two umpires furnished by the.
Central Umpires Association, a coun-
ty organization with an enrolment of
county men, proved very satisfactory
Sunday and those in charge of the
league are optimistic as to this ar
rangement.
Following are the box scores:

DAMAGED BY BLAZE

Fire, which apparently originated
from a defective chimney, did con-
siderable damage to the Lutheran
parsonage in Pine City Monday eve
ming. Although the fire department,
located within a block of the house,
arrived with promptness, the fire
proved difficult to get at, as it was
burning under the roof and had

age was done to the downstairs fur

dwelling by firemen.

So SAID Michael B. Hurley, Pine
City Attorney IN Askov Address
Last Friday Evening.
For State Income Tao; Reduced
Gross Earnings, Iron Ore Tao
Increased Property Tao.

Speaking on the subject of "Unem-
Farmer" at the Assembly hall in
Askov last Friday evening, County
Attorney Nj. B. Hurley of Pine City,
brought out some of the same points
as were given in his Sturgeon Lake
address two weeks previously and re-
ported in the Askov American. He
also brought out many new points in
his Askov talk, and those are the
ones that will mostly be reviewed in
this article. Following his talk of
one and a half hours, there was a
general discussion of the unemploy-
ment situation, taxes. and other gov
ernmental questions in which many
took part.
With 100000 persons ordinarily
employed but now out of work and
with 100000 others on part time.
the unemployment has become para
mount issue, said Mr.. Hurley. Some
folks used to say that the farm prob
lem was more of a mental one. Those
who now say there is no farm prob
lem are considered fit subjects for
some state institution, said the speak
er. 1t is argued that getting people
into a different state of mind will
help. While the state of mind has
some bearing it is not everything and
will not stop the deflation.
Output is Trebled.
In the thirty years from 1899 to
1929 the production of the workers in
industry trebled with the aid of labor
saving machinery. Such new indus
tries as the automobile, movie, radio,
and airplane absorbed some people
in their employ the past twenty years
while the unemployment situation was
developing but those industries have
also taken on labor saving machinery
with the result that they also get
along with fewer men. Two hundred
men in a midwestern city in the
United States produce between 1000
and 5000 auto frames in day while
in central Europe 200 men produce
35 auto frames per day. At the Euro
pean rate it would require 10000 men
to produce the American auto frames,
said the speaker. The auto is not
taking up the slack in unemployment
so much now, and the same may be
said of the other newer industries.
The labor saving machines are fine
when they benefit all, and not so much
the owners of the machines.
Agriculture cannot take up more of
the unemployed as presently consti-
tuted, as it produces plenty just as
industry, or more than for the buying
power of the public. There must be
shorter days and shorter weeks to
create jobs for more men. Employ
ment is the beginning of the eternal
cycle of prosperity. 1t will give buy
ing power to the masses which is the
crying need of the hour, said Mr..
Hurley. Chief Justice Hughes has
said that Prosperity feeds upon it.
SELF" and Herbert Hoover in the cam
paign of 1928 said that Prosperity is
no idle expression. Prosperity is a
job for every worker. 1t is the safety
and safeguard of every business and
every home" And this, said the
speaker, means the safeguard of the
nation.
Advocates Public Works.

unemployment Mr.. Hurley advocates

LEADING TRACK
RIVALS RACE

LAUREL, Md, Oct. 28.-With
the $4,000 added money Wash
ington handicap featuring the
getaway program here tomorrow
and promising to be one Of the
most notable events of the fall
racing season, the racing public
may finally be given the oppor'
tunity of seeing the two mighty
rivals, Twenty Grand and Equi
poise, clash.
Previous contests between the
two this year have always been
baked by withdrawal of one OF
the other, and one special race
which was planned for them at
the Belmont Park course failed
to materialize. Each diSappoint'
ment a served to whet interest
Both are slated to go in the
washington tomorrow, and hopes
are high that nothing develops
to rob the fans Of the long
awaited spectacle.
Equipoise, Of course, will carry
the heaviest impoSt, concedlng
considerable weight to all MS
rivals for the mile and a quarter
grind. When we consider his
rivals beside Twenty Grand, we
note that the Whitney champion
will not be going out for a coast.
Though Trainer Willie Brennan
believes his, Twenty Grand will
be the greatest obstacle for Equi'
poise, there is much significance
in such names as PLATE, Gusto,
Plucky Play, Reveille Boy, Tired
Avon, Jack High, White Clover 3D.
and others of blueblood caliber
Jack High, which carried 122
pounds to victory in the mile and

a.. Mercurys Seek Revenge
Bill Lytell's Mercurys will at
tempt to break into the win
column in the unlimited division
of the Independent League when
they engage the Maryland A. c,
on the Seat Pleasant field at
3 o'clock.
Last year the Mercs defeated
the Maryland A. c., 7 to 0. In
1880, the teams battled to a
scoreless tie in one of the hardest
fought games of that year.
Lytell expects to put a line on
the field Sunday that will aver
age about ITO pounds. His back
field will be rather light, averag-
ing 148 pounds. Healy, 122-
pound back for the Mercurys, is
considered one of the finest de-
fensive men in the Independents
unlimited loop.

Although the VirginianS will
outweigh the Gents" about seven
pounds to a man, they won't have
an easy time with them. The little
Centennials have one of the best
clubs in their class, having
downed such crack outfits as
Powhatans, Green Terrors and
New York Avenue playground.
Nick Crowley, manager of the
locals, is proud of the fact that
his boys held the powerful Mt.
st. Joseph's huskies of Baltimore
to a scoreless tie early this year
at Baltimore.
Given Great Hand
In that contest the young Wash
ington lads displayed fine football
ability and were given tremen-
dous ovation by the Baltimore
fans at the conclusion Of the
battle. So enthusiastic were the
Baltimore rooters that they re-
quested the Mt. st. Joseph's man
ager to book the Washington
team again this season.
The Gents" owe much of their
success to the backfield combina-
ton of Harry Suit, Bill Aquilino,
Zach Kilroy and Herhie Howell.
Aquilino is the field general.
Such linemen as Sunny Aylor,
Jack Rocco, Jimmy Goodson, Rob
