DEER HUNTERS
SHOULD USE CARE
Short Open Season Means COncentra.
ton Of Hunters; Emergency Con.
ServatiOn Workers Add to Peril.

A bulletin from the Minnesota Con-
servation Department this week adj
vises added caution on the part OF
deer hunters who will take to the
woods during the five day open sea-
son this month between the dates OF
sunrise on November 81 and sun
down on November %. The open
season will embrace nine Minnesota
counties as follows: Pine, Cook, Lake
st. Louis, Koochiching, Itasca, Bel
trami, Lake of the Woods and Carl
ton.
The increased peril that will exist
during the short season is due to two
reasons. First, because of the cur
tailed season, hunters will be con-
centrated which will bring added
menace to the hunters. Secondly
several Emergency Conservation Work
camps are located in the open terri
tory with hundreds of workers in the
woods.
Modern high-powered rifles carry
for miles, w. D. Stewart, Game and
1911 bliSCtOI, poluCo Ouls 11uAISlS
should exercise special care in de.
termining that their bullets will not
carry into country outside their range
of vision. Promiscuous shooting
should be banned altogether, more sc
this season than in years past" he
continued.
Grover Comet, Director of the Di-
vision of Forestry and Fire Proven
ton, has issued a warning to Emer.
gency Conservation workers. Mr.
Comet offers several suggestions that
may be used to assist in eliminating
accidents. He states that lit is most
important that the greatest care be
taken that no accidents occur to any
of the men working in the camps
and all deer hunters should be doubly
careful in the matter of handling and
using firearms in localities where
camps are located or work is being
DONE"

August, and 2O.O67 in June. In Sep
TENDER, 1882 the number of foreclo-

Present Situation.
AskOU School To
Haze Art Exhibit

The dates for the Art Exhibit spon-
sored by the public schools of Askov
have been set for Nov. Is, 16 and II.
The collection will be displayed in
the Assembly hall. On the evenings of
the 18th and 18th short programs
will be given by the schools. After
these the visitors will be given time
to study and enjoy the pictures. For
those who are unable to come in the
evening or who prefer to make their
observation by daylight the exhibit
will be open from 3 to o'clock on
the 10Th and 18th.
In the past such exhibits have pre-
sented, mainly, pictures that were
reproductions of the great masters
of the past. This year the opportun-
ity will be given to see a consider
able number of pictures by modern
artists, especially Americans. 1t has
too long been the impression that only
Europe produced great paintings.
The fact is that American artists
have given us canvasses of great
beauty and thoroughly American mo-
tits. 1t is expected that many of
those who attend the school exhibit
will go away with decidedly revised
ideas of American art which is really
colorful. nationalistic and charming.
A small admission will be charged.
The proceeds will be used in the pur-
chase of pictures to further brighten
the school. Teachers and pupils will
appreciate the presence of as many
of their friends as are able to attend.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Usually quite far apart in their
viewpoints the United States and
Japan seem to be sincerely agreed
that the problem of international dis
armament is, after all, largely a Eu-
ropean matter; such an attitude may
prove disastrous to the cause, for at
the moment that the leading powers
of two continents consider themselves
isolated from what must be vital
question of concern to all countries
in all continents, there cannot be
much hope from continued disarma a.
ment efforts.
Today-that is, according to the
latest plans-the steering committee
of the international conference for
reduction and limitation of arma-
ments is scheduled to meet for the
purpose of preparing plan of action
for the conference when it meets, if
it meets, on December 4.
During the last few days preceding
the scheduled meeting of the steer
ing committee, the United States has
again served notice upon the world
that the American delegation is not
to take any initiative in connection
with disarmament; it is expected to
support all apparently reasonable
plans, but must not make proposals
and must not commit itself to any
disarmament policy. In way, there is
nothing new in this attitude of aloof-
ness, but it is pretty generally re-
GREETED throughout the rest of the
world because it is felt that no such
cause can become triumphant with
out the active and enthusiastic sup
port of all major powers.
Present Situation.
Readers of this column will recall
the fact that the disarmament con-
ference, in session-with numerous
interruptions-since February, 1882
has not yet accomplished anything;
not one firm and definite step toward
disarmament has been taken.
On the other hand we now see that
the activities of the munitions and

HIGHWAY PATROL TO
ENFORCE FLARE LAW

Rigid enforcement of the so-called
flare law" will begin December 4,
as a means of assuring greater safety
on state highways, according to an
announcement by John P. Arnoldy,
chief of the State Highway Patrol.
The law means that all trucks OPP
Grated on state highways must carry
flares and red flags for use in case,
of stalling or accident, much as rail-
roads set signals behind trains unex--
pectedly delayed.
The law, originally enacted in 1925
and revised in 1888, requires, under
Order No. 1 of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, that each
truck operator shall secure and
carry as part of his equipment at all
times three approved and disable
flares and three red flags, the latter
to be approximately "a by "a inches.
the flares to be capable of burning
not less than eight hours and to be
used in case of accident at night, one
to be placed not less than Is feet
in each direction from the accident,
and one to be placed on the highway
at the scene of the accident between
the vehicles involved and the center
line of the highway. The flags are
to be used for the same purpose in
daylight hours"
Mr.. Arnoldy said these precautions
will prevent cars and trucks from
crashing into wrecks or trucks de-
layed and standing on the highways.
He places so much Importance on the
use of flares that all vehicles of the
highway patrol will carry them, to
be used when patrolmen lend serv-
ices to accident victims at night.

REFUNDS FOR
1881 PENALTY
New Law Valves Penalties
on Real Estate Taxes
for That Year.
If Penalty Was Paid Ask
Auditor to Apply on
Other Taxes.

Many folks who were delinquent
in the payment of their 1881 real
estate taxes took advantage of the
new law and were relieved of pay
ing any penalty on same. However
the penalty was paid by some folks
who may not have known about the
waving of the penalty if paid before
Jan. 1, 1884. They can be reimbursed
for whatever penalty paid if appli-
cation is made before the end of 1888,
the refund to apply on taxes for the
following years.
Following is a statement concern
ing the waving of penalties on 1881
taxes as given out by County Auditor
Andrew P. Edin at Pine City:
IF you paid penalty an all or
any portion of your 1881 real estate
taxes, you should apply for a refund
of same by making application to
the county auditor. This applies only
to the 1881 taxes and the refund
warrant is valid only to apply on
taxes for 1881 or 1892 paid in 1888
in Pine county.
please take notice that refunds
must be applied for and the warrants
used as stated above on or before the
last day of the year 1888.
"A line to the county auditor CIV
ing the description of the land will
bring you an application all filled
out and ready for your signature.
1--WE have taken care of a number
of these refundments but there are
still some who have not taken adj
vantage of this law so do not post
pone asking or making application
until it is too Late"

time bread was lower in price than
it is today"
In conclusion, the Governor said
that there could be no genuine solu-
ton of the farm problem until the
farmers have become the owners of
their own marketing machinery which
today is in the hands of bunch
of spectators and pirates"
There can be little doubt that Gov
ernor Olson's view in respect to these
matters is that of the Farmer-Labor
party of Minnesota, of farm organiza-
lions of this and of other states Of
the northwest as we'll as of other pro-
gressives in this and other states OF
