Keeps Large Crowd Oc-
cupied All Day.

AS it has seemed impossible In the
past the Kerrick Community Fair this
year went into history living up in
full to that ambitious slogan the
management long ago adopted for its
motto and which no doubt has helped
largely toward the success that that
little community has had with its
fairs. 1t is estimated that about 1000
people were on the grounds during
the day Saturday, August 26, and cars
were seen from Texas on the south
to California on the west. The ex-
hints numbered about 900 or about the
same as last year with possibly lit
tie better farm display. AS a whole
the exhibits were somewhat better.
An interesting and elaborate dis
play by the Game and Fish Depart
ment under the leadership of Val Bar
Der of Nickerson, and Carl Meyer OF
Moose Lake, was arranged and de-
picted beautiful green forest scene
being destroyed by fire in the back
ground together with its attendant
bird and game life.
H. G. Hoffman of the Kerrick COM
munity, had a wonderful display Of
Indian curios made up of practically
everything the Indians used in their
life of many years ago. Mr.. Hoffman
has been making this collection for
about AZ years and certainly had put
forth lot of effort in arranging it
for the fair and to the education Of
the many who saw it.

could be weighed and informed as to

weight.
Good Sports Program.
The usual good sports program was
conducted during the day and In
cluded besides the regular round OF
contests two ball games, one between
Holyoke and Moose Lake in the fore
noon which was won II to 10 by HOl-
yoke The afternoon game between
Barnum and the N. P. S. Club was
won by the latter II to 5.
Wally Neuman who was there last
year with his airplane and thrilled
the crowds was again on duty this
year to Guido his previous efforts.
His work was efficiently augmented
by the appearance of the Duluth-Twin

he went by and this he obligingly
did and did it so we'll that the pas

PINE CITY LOSES
BUSINESS FIGURE
Carl HOlmberg Was Resident OF Pine
County 81 Years.-Burial Satur-
day Afternoon.

Funeral services for Carl Holm
berg of Pine City, were conducted
Saturday afternoon from the M. E.
church in Pine City with DR.. Philip
Sheridan, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church at Rochester preaching
the sermon. Assisting him in the
service were Rev. Lorenzo johnson,
Rev. d. w. Thompson and Rev. ]. j.
Parish.
Mr.. Holmberg passed away at his
home in Pine City on Wednesday eve
ming last week at 6:45, after an illness
lasting more than two years. While
working at the Pine City Mercantile
store, he suffered nervous, break
down and although he at once re-
tired from business, he never sue
ceeded in regaining his health.
Born in Sweden in 1869, Mr.. Holm
berg grew to young manhood in his
native land, coming to the United
States when twenty-one years of age.
He came direct to Minnesota and
settled in Minneapolis, where he
worked in store, later coming to
Rush City where he was associated
with the Rush City Mercantile Com
pany. On July IS, 1902, the Pine
| City Mercantile Company was formed
by Frank C. Laird, Henry w. Harte
and Frank A. Brown. Mr.. Holmberg
was secured to handle the clothing
and shoe department and continued
in that position for thirty years.
In the year 1905, Mr.. Holmberg was
| united in marriage to Lucia Herring
at St. Paul, and they made their
home permanently in Pine City from
that year. Mr.. and Mrs. Holmberg
were the parents of two sons, Carl,
who is now married and living in
Minneapolis, and John, who is at
I home in Pine City.
| Mr.. Holmberg was known to his
friends and the many customers of
the Pine City Mercantile company as
courteous and congenial gentleman
with whom it was pleasure to asso-
ciate and transact business. His de-
partment in the Mercantile store was
we'll cared for and he treated his
| CuSlOuSIS Will uIulOSI ICopOSt.
Besides his work in the Mercantile
Company, Mr.. Holmberg found time
to serve for many years on the vii
lage council of Pine City and helped
put through many projects for the
betterment of the village.
He was a master mason and held
the position of Master of the lodge
at Pine City in the year 1924. He
was a charter member of the Rush
City lodge and also a charter mem
Der of the Pine City lodge when ii
was formed. He was also member
of the Chapter at Rush City and a
shriner, being a member Osman Tenn.
pie, Scottish Rite, of st. Paul. He
was a man who made friends easily
and kept them.
Pallbearers at the funeral were A
M. Challeen, Roy E. Carlson, Fritz
Johnson, James Wandel, Royal Hunt
and Henry Buirge. The masons Of
Pine City attended in a body and also
conducted their service at the grave
in Brentwood cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire Pine
City community goes to Mrs. Holm
berg and the two sons in the loss o
a good husband and father.

ECONOMIC HICHEIGHTS
That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individually National
and international Problems Are Inseparable

I On the fifth of December con-
ventions will meet in the states of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah to go
through the formal motions Of
ratifying the 21st amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States, in accordance with. the will
of the electorate. The Eighteenth
Amendment, after IA years of the
stormiest sort of history. will be
as dead as the. fugitive slave act.
! Then the fireworks will begin.
Until January 8, at the earliest,
liquor will be sold under the con-
troll of STATE laws alone. Federal
Jurisdiction being limited to taxa
tion, and the protecting of states
which vote dry--as yet there
aren't any. States which want
saloons can have them-so far Ne
vada is the single Commonwealth
which definitely regards the old
brass rail with favor. In the great
majority of the states, no definite
plan has been decided upon, and
the machinery. of regulation is
inept or lacking entirely, a matter
which must be remedied by legis-
lative sessions.
1t was because of this that John
d. Rockefeller, Junior, hired R. B.
Fosdick, lawyer, and A. L. Scott,
industrial engineer. to make a
sweeping study of ways and means
to control the liquor traffic. Their
report. recently released, is long,
thorough. and dispassionate.
Theme song of the report is that
the greatest of all liquor problems
is private profit, and that it
should be eliminated. Each state
should form an Alcohol Control
Authority with retail outlets of
its own--a la the system in vogue
in the Canadian provinces-for
hard liquor. 1t would fix prices,
and all profits go to the State.
Beer and wine could be sold in
hotels, restaurants, grocery stores,
ETC., under regulation of the Au-
thority. 1t would have the au-
thority to establish dry zones with
in the state when local sentiment
was favorable.
The licensing system-which
has been persuasively pushed of
late-is severely criticized, mas
much as it still leaves the prob
lem of profit, becomes involved
with politics, tends to encourage,
rather than to discourage, over
drinking.
On the burning subject of liq-
uor taxes, the report recommends
that the tax rate should vary with
a drinks alcoholic content, its
price, and its "social value.n The
tax on beer would be not more
than 10 cents a gallon; on such
Injurious as sparkling wines, SO a
gallon; and on whisky, SO gall
lon. Estimated tax revenue, on
this basis, is $7O0,0oO,OoO year
almost twice total Federal in
come tax returns for 1898.
Liquor manufacturers are
showing themselves awake to con-
ditions. In newspaper advertise
ments they are urging public CO.
operation and advocating temper
ance. Aq

The president speaks-the coun-
try responds. We've been used
to that lately, and it happened
again in Mr.. Roosevelt's optimistic
radio talk of October %. Gist of
the speech was that the recovery
plans are succeeding. The presi-
dent reviewed progress made in
employment under the NRA, the
achievements in, the field Of price,
upping and stabilization, the agri-
cultural adjustment work, which
has won fewer victories than was
hoped. He spoke also on chiseling
of the kind that raises the. cost of
a shirt $1.0O because of 4-eent
cotton processing tax-reiterated
his opposition to it.
Most important of his utterances,
perhaps, was his definite state
ment that there would be no eff
fort at dollar sterilization now.
Price sterilization is. to come first
this, in his opinion, putting horse
and cart in the proper relation.
Next days reaction to the
speech was a boom in securities,
strengthening of prices and mar
kets of all kinds.
