He had left his home at $50, going
to see how the interior remodeling
work was progressing in the building

was found floating on the river water
by a quarry employe, A. WOhtolo

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Today the economic and monetary
world conference at London adJourns,
and the United States postal service
begins the distribution to five million
employers of the text of the presl-
Dental national unemployment agree
ment which is intended to raise
wages, create employment and there
by increase purchasing power.
To discerning observers the con-
nection between these two events is
plain, for, if the London conference
had not failed to solve the problems
submitted to it, a drastic move such
as President Roosevelt's latest would
most likely not have become neces-
Sary.
May Resume Work.
Whether the London conference
will be definitely adjourned or just
temporarily suspended is not clear al
the time of writing; in behalf of the
United States, Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull has been fighting valiantly
for a proposal to the effect that the
conference be re-convoked some time
within the next three months, and
at set date. Decision is likely to be
made today.
Even though it may be agreed to re-
sumo the deliberations of this huge
conference, there is no certainty thai
a second session will prove more sue.
cessful than the first, for success
would depend upon change of heart
so complete and far-reaching that II
seems, at this time, impossible tC
consummate it. Here's hoping, how
ever!
Meager Results.
Out of the wreckage of the Londor
conference two conditional agree
ments have been salvaged.

MORATORIUM ACT
TO BE EXPLAINED
Attorney General Harry II. Peterson
and Assistant, VIM. 5. Erwin, to
Speak at Cross Lake Monday.

Minnesota's attorney general, Harry
H. Peterson, and his assistant, Wm-
S. Erwin, will be heard in Pine county
next Monday evening on the mortgage
moratorium law, enacted at the last
session of the Minnesota Legislature.
The two legal experts will talk at a
Farmer-Labor meeting to be held at
Pine camp pavilion on Cross lake.
a mile east of Pine City village, be-
ginning at 8 Pm, on July 81.
Mr.. Peterson and Mr.. Erwin are
responsible for drawing up the bill
that was passed by the Legislature
and later they appeared before the
State Supreme Court and argued the
constitutionality of the act, the court
upholding the law. Farm and home
owners are interested in this new
legislation, especially those who stand
to lose through foreclosure, so here
is a good opportunity to hear the law
explained by those who know all the
intricacies of it.
Many will remember Assistant At
torney General Erwin as the man who
was county attorney of Pine county
IA years ago, residing then at Sand
stone, and they will be glad of the
opportunity to shake the hand of the
former county citizen who now holds
very responsible position in the
affairs of the state.
Following the discussion of the
mortgage moratorium law a dance
will take place at the pavilion and
music will be furnished by the or
chestra that has made itself popular
at Holiday dances in this section.
Everybody is invited to hear the
instructive speeches and enjoy them
selves at Pine camp payiliOn

zEsT AND THRILLS IN
 BRING FEM BACK ALIVE

D
 How would you like to see d hungry man-eatiRg tiger battle to the death with twenty-five foot bone-crushing python? How would you like to see this same emibattled tiger step into a pool to slake his thirst and come face to face with the, jaws of a. sixteen-foot crocodile just waiting for tiger meat?
 How would you like to see the meanest of jungle beastsths willy black panther-tackle the jungle's most ferocious man-eat- ing tiger?
 How would you like to see what happens when the crocodile gets himself wrapped in the coils of twenty-five foot python?
 How would you like to see lone white man in the heart of the tropic jungle entrap this snake with his bare hands-and alive?
 These are. some of the superior thrills in the Van Beuren Corpor ation's feature film, Bring Elm Back Alive" the authentic camera record of Frank Bucks famous book of the same name.
 There's no love interest-no built up drama-no sobbing sisters or he-men lovers in this release by Radio Pictures directed by Clyde E. Elliott. But there is such ex- citement as no Hollywood brain child could ever give. There's real heart-action, for example, when the hunted tiger charges right into a native village and then into camoufaged trap. There's the heart-stopping moment when Frank Buck jockeys the trapped man-eater into the homemade cage at the risk of his life. As for the other big moments, there are combats between age-old jungle enemies that pale into in- significance anything civilization ever threw into a prize ring dom mated by electric lights, ballyhoo and the quest for dollars.
 A. wide-shouldered, ruddy-faced stocky man merely throws of the garments of the metropolis to trek six thousand miles by land and sea in search of a Royal Bengal tiger.
 His weapons--his two hard hands. His props, couple of na., tive boys. His cages are hand made right down in the heart of the tiger country. No nails to hold the bars in place--no forged steel bars wedged in cement-but nough hewn poles tied together with thongs made from the dried bark of native trees. mounting stampede of intensely interesting action follows the inaugural of this quest as shown in Bring Elm Back Alive" the premiere of which is set for the Dream Theat- re next Tuesday night at7:30 and p.m

..LADIES OF THE JURY''
 OPENS TOMORROW

The world chuckled at Edna May Oliver in "Cimarron. VI.
 It will probably roar at her crazy as 'hold-out'' juror in RKo Radio Pictures laugh sensation Ladies of the Jury" opening Sun day, September 10 at the Dream Theatre
 Named by critics as one of the funniest comedians in motion pictures, Miss Oliver gives new meaning to comedy in specially tailored role
 Ladies of the Jury is the story of a typical mixed jury of men and women who can agree only to disagree.
 With this plot as the motivating theme the film plunges into all amazing series of comic situations and reveals much of the inside working of the jury system in the process.
 The film tells the story of twelve different types of jurors who find themselves locked in a room for the purpose of deciding the fate of a pretty girl accused of murder.
 Fights, accusations and constant pickering revolve about the per- sonalfty of Miss Oliver who fin- ally wins the others to a verdict of not guilty by playing on their emotions and racial differences.
 The film does not depend upon Miss Oliver alone to carry along the laughs Director Lowell Sher- man has provided supporting cast which includes almost score of the cinema's most noted comedians. Among these are Ken Murray, rad 10 and vaudeville favorite; Roscoe Ates. stuttering comedian of "Cim- arr9n:' Kitty Kelly. Quinn Big 'Boy' Williams. Kate Price, Cora Witherspoon and George Humbert.
