A Real Bear.

Keal Bear.
Game Wardens Sheridan Greig end
Charles Beckman had charge of dis
play featuring two deer, some Chinese
ringneck pheasants, and a bear. The
deer were splendid specimens in a
sleek condition The bear was cub
from Happy O'Malley's place. He was
vicious fellow, apparently, for it
was noticed that the wardens wore
high top boots and were very cautious
about giving bruin chance to nip
their legs, which he seemed anxious
to do. Isadore Wendt of Hinckley,
furnished the pheasants.
One prominent citizen, hearing
rumors of pick-pockets on the grounds.
suddenly felt for his wallet and
missed it. Hurriedly he searched
through all his pockets and finally
found his wallet in an inside coat
pocket. Upon opening it he found
that he still had his precious one dol
lar bill. Others were not so for
tunate however. Joseph Broz, farm
er east of Pine City, was relieved OF
| SIG and Oscar Teiden who lives In
the village, is said to have had S24
removed from his pockets through
the slippery fingers process.
Reno Speaks Up.
Milo Reno, president of the National
Farmers Holiday Association, in his
fiery speech said that government
was instituted for the happiness and
prosperity of mankind and it is the
duty of the people to change it if
otherwise. No man can defend the
present condition.
The speaker frowned on Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace and took rap
at the County Agents for promoting
more production of agricultural pro-
ducts when now the government asks
for less wheat and cotton acreage.
His criticism was extended also to
ministers, lawyers, bankers and 9TH
ers If people were right, lawyers
would be saving wood, he added. The
Farm Bureau poses as a farm organi-
cation and yet receives its sustenance
and spirit from Wall Street, was the
criticism given that organization.
Mr.. Reno went on to say that the
; Farmers Holiday Association is fight
, ing for cost of production and stands
for fundamental rights, desiring that
| the problems be solved without revo-
luton. Farmers should be too proui
: to wear clothing made in sweatshor
r or where the wages paid will not
= produce fair living. But to gain the
H.
| binary process, the speaker said, i
e must be remembered that the Savior
. violated law when he chased the
| money lenders out of the temple, ant
y humorOusly he added that the Eigh
v teenth amendment was perhaps ais
violated when water was turned t.
o wine. Along the same line he spok'
q of the powers usurped by Napoleon
j.. Bonaparte and Oliver Cromwell an
O how the Yankees dumped tea in tn
q Boston harbOr against constituted au
II thority.
C Cooperation Has Made Progress.

s operative marketing and buying an

s force that will save the situation.
y Older fl ks will remember when tn

It Usury, rents and profits are ours

At speaker. A gentleman is a man WI
is too proud to ask favors of others h

rights must be conceded to farmers
to others.
Mr.. Reno concluded by asking pc

~ might bring hope and prosperity OF
of dispair, and he pleaded for the c.

", ing them to be gentlemen, patriot
