year old pine and spruce trees which
the government is purchasing for the
reforestation relief project. This is

could be made, thus the need for
rushed work down at the nursery.

The Rev. A. E. Frost returned Tues
day from Washington, D. c., where he
attended the Continental Congress as
a delegate of the Pine County National
Farmers Holiday Association and OF
the local Socialist club. The Rev.
Frost stated that there were between
1000 and 5000 delegates present and
about as many visitors. Practically
every state in the Union was repre-
sented. People of many nationalities
and from all walks of life were pres
ent. Minnesota was represented by
group of 80 people who were enter
tanned to a supper given by Congress
man Ernest Lundeen. Frank Cross
waith, prominent Socialist party ora
tor, who spoke in Askov April 16, re-
ceived a tremendous ovation when he
spoke to the Washington gathering as
did A. c. Townley when he announced
the decision made at the Des Moines
convention to call a farm strike
everyone at the meeting seemed in
accord with the strike. Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate last year
for the presidency, was given ovations
each time he appeared as we'll as
other notables who addressed the
me ulS6tlUS was Illtu
with enthusiasm and what little
Communistic element there was pres
ent was readily erased by the ma
jority who showed more liberal ten
denotes. The Rev. Frost will prob
ably address gatherings of local
farmers meetings at some future
dates and he will have interesting
things to tell of at these meetings
Enroute home he stopped for a short
time in Chicago where he took a trip
through the fair grounds of the
Worlds fair. He states that there
will be many interesting things to be
seen although there is much work left
to be done before the official opening.
He was told that fifty cents will adj
NIT an adult to he grounds as well
as to fifty-one exhibition buildings;
other exhibitions of private nature,
will charge their own rates of ad-
mission,
