RENO FIERY
IN FAIR TALK
Holiday President Asks for
Cooperation of Business,
Professional Men.
Many Folks Also Attended
Public Wedding at the
County Fair.

The Pine County Fair which has
been held at Pine City annually for
As years is again matter of history
for another year. The weather on
Friday and Saturday was good and
the attendance was also up to the
average.
The largest crowd was present Fri
day afternoon when Milo Reno Of Des
Moines, Iowa, president of the Ma
tional Farmers Holiday Association
spoke. He is a vigorous speaker and
many and varied were the comments
heard. Some praised and others
frowned, perhaps depending on the
politics of the person offering COM
ment on the speech.
The public wedding Saturday eve
ming which took place following the
vaudeville performance, also drew a
good sized crowd. Mr.. Joe Houska OF
Hinckley, was united in marriage to
Miss Evangeline Wahlberg of Sand
stone, Rev. D. w. Thompson OF Pine
City, performing the ceremony. Miss
Carlson of Pine City, sang two solos
while her sister played the piano ac-
compartment. The wedding couple
was attended by ring bearer, flower
girls, bridesmaids and best men, the
scene being very pretty and dignified.
Butter Exhibit.
The Land O'Lakes creamery exhibit
was again on hand this year with nine
splendid samples of butter. The
creameries sending in exhibits and
the buttermakers in charge were Al
len Irene. Denham; Albert Adamek,
Beroun; Boyd Fleming, Markville; E.
Carlson, Pine City; John Swenson,
Cloverdale; Leo Starken, Hinckley; F.
C. Larson, Brook Park; Alfred Mel
sen, Askov; and Ernest Bliss, Bruno.
The winner of first honors this year
was Allen Irene and second was AL
bert Adamek.
AS one viewed the splendid speci-
mems of fruit he could easily see that
Pine county is fruit country. There
were some wonderful apples shown,
as well as plums, cherries and grapes.
Henry Kryzer, who runs fruit stand
on his place just north of Pine City
on highway No. 1, has proved to the
world that strawberries can be raised
all summer long in Pine county, even
in the dry year of 1888.
In the school building Peter Resch
had a splendid exhibit of gladiolas.
There were, in all, over sixty diff
ferent specimens in his display and
every flower lover who passed that
booth, could not help but wonder at
the beauty, color and vitality OF the
blossoms.
One thing missing at the fair this
year was the merry-go-round. The
elder folks seemed to miss it more
than the children. Instead OF the
merry-go-round there was an auto
go-round"-little racer autos, with
horns-ten of them. The children
greatly enjoyed these, but there was
no excuse for the mamas and paps
to go, since the children could man
age nicely all alone.

KERRICK FAIR is
WEEKS FEATURE
Committees are Planning for Bigger
and Better" Fifteenth Annual
Community Day.

That the Kerrick fair exhibitors
will be assured of good judging is
realized by the announcement that
the management has secured the
services of Mrs. j. B. Graham of Du-
luth to have charge of the home
economics department at that exhibit
which will be staged Saturday of this
week. The significance of the an
nouncement is the fact that Mrs. Ora
ham has recently been chosen as one
of the judges at the Minnesota State
Fair. Mrs. Graham is an expert in
that field and she will hold a con-
ference with the women at 2:30 p. M,
at which time she will give demon
stration in the art of making quick
breads and will invite questions of
any sort pertaining to cooking, bak-
ing, canning, etc.
Wally Neumann of Minneapolis, will
again be present to entertain fair
visitors with his aeroplane prize en-
velope scramble and his aeronautic
acrobatics. He says that another pilot
will bring along second plane to
add to the excitement. A number Of
business concerns in Duluth and sur
rounding towns contribute small
prizes for distribution in the enve-
lope scramble, and each one of the
hundreds of envelopes contains a slip
emitting the bearer to prize. This
might be a subscription to local
paper, an Orphan Annie doll, can
of groceries, a pound of coffee, or an
article of wearing apparel. The
scramble was so hugely enjoyed last
year that the feat is to be duplicated.
The following statements come from
one of the fair enthusiasts:
1.-THE baseball game between Moose
Lake and Holyoke at 1880 a. m. and
that between Barnum and the North
Pine Sportsmen's Club at 2:30 p. m.
mark the feature sport events of the
day, while boxing bouts, barrel races,
and fistic panorama will occupy the
remaining part of the afternoon.
Then there's the heap big bull fight!
That's going to be WOW from start
W IL p1oUdOAy w AAoA ~
too, that hasn't been announced.
There always is. And it's all free!
"Smithy Smith and his Blue Moon
orchestra will occupy the floor from
$3.50 p. m. until closing time, and
there's reason. It's found in the
music. Ask the man who's heard
him.
This will be Kerrick's fifteenth
fair. Fifteen years of success, with
each year being a better one. The
size of the farm produce exhibit room
has been doubled to care for the ad-
ditional entries expected this year.
Last years total of 900 completely
outclassed the 566 of 1881, and the
committeeman are preparing for an
enormous amount of work on Friday,
the official entry day. There will
also be displays of Indian curios,
forestry, and game and fish. It's the
biggest day in the county,"

YOUNG ASKOV
FOLK Welded
Carl DiXen and Alma Olesen Married
Monday; Both Born and Raised
in ASkOv Community.

A wedding of interest to Askov
folks took place Monday afternoon at
the Danish Ev.-Luth. church when
Miss Alma Marie Olesen, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Olesen, became
the bride of Mr.. Carl Frederick Svend
Dixen, son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Chr.
Dixen. Rev. A. E. Frost officiated at
the ceremony which was attended by
many friends and relatives. The bride
was attended by Miss Ruth L. Soren-
sen and the groom by Viggo Miller.
A quartette composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arnold Sorensen and Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred L. Nielsen, sang "Karlig-
he'd fra Gud," and Mrs. Nielsen rem
dered the Bridal Chorus from Lohen-
grin and Mendelsohn's "a Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" playing these
selections on the organ.
After the ceremony the bridal party
went to the home of the bride where
a reception and dinner was given for
friends and relatives. It is estimated
that upwards of 20 people were at the
reception and these were accommo-
dated in a large tent erected for the
occasion. Impromptu speeches were
made, songs sung by the gathering
and a sumptuous repast served. The
festivities were continued in the eve
ming in honor of VIM. Olesen's birth
day.
The bride is a graduate of the
Askov school having finished the high
school course this spring. She is
we'll known and we'll liked by her
many friends. The groom, also a
graduate of the Askov school, in 1881,
is a member of the Askov male
chorus, an active member of the
Young Peoples Society, and also TAX
ing part in many of the community
social affairs. Both of the young
people were born and reared in this
community.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixen left shortly
after the reception on a honeymoon
trip which will take them to the
northern part of the state. Upon
their return they will reside temper
arily with the groom's parents.
The many friends of the happy
couple wish them much success and
happiness in their journey through
life together.

NO WHEAT LIMIT
IN PINE COUNTY
Scarcity of Acreage Causes Allotment
Committee to Leave 1t for Grow.
erS to Decide.

No organized wheat allotment cam
paign will be carried on in Pine
county unless specifically requested
by a number of wheat growers. This
was decided by the county wheat al
lotment organization committee which
met in Pine City on Aug. Is.
The committee took into considera-
ton the low acreage of wheat in the
county, the cost of administering the
allotment plan and the large amount
of extra work that would be required
on the part of local people in secur-
ing the necessary figures on wheat
acreage in the townships, and in
carrying on other organization mat
tiers. Arrangements were made, how
ever, so that any wheat grower who
feels that the county should take part
in the plan may write the County
Auditor, Andrew Edin. If enough re-
quests come, the committee will ar
range a countrywide meeting and plan
for procedure.
Plan Explained.
The operation and background of
the allotment plan was explained to
the committee by L. A. Churchill, of
the Agricultural Extension Division,
representing the state Wheat Allot-
ment office. Mr.. Churchill presented
facts regarding the large carry over
of wheat in the United States, $50
million bushels at the present time,
and pointed out that although this
years production is nearly 344 mil
lion bushels less than the five year
average for the United States, there
will still be nearly 200 million BUSH
els more than will be used in 1933-34.
Coupled with this surplus problem,
he explained, export possibilities have
almost disappeared and future price
possibilities appear hopeless unless a
substantial cut in wheat acreage and
production is made.
In bringing out the plan as it af-
fects the individual farmer, Mr..
Churchill explained the possible bene-
fits, based on the small acreage raised
in Pine county. Using as an example
an individual who raised an average
of about eight acres of wheat per year
during 1880, 1881 and 1882, he stated
that this individual would receive ap-
proXimately Sill as payment of 20
cents per bushel on his crop this fall
with small payment in the spring.
In return for this payment the grower
would be required to cut his acreage
not to exceed 300. The spring pay
ment would be based on eight cents,
minus the cost of local administra-
tion in the county which would run
comparatively high in Pine county
because of the small acreage.
One of the requirements in organic
ing the county, which made the COM
mittee feel that it was not advisable
for Pine to organize, was the securing
of the statement of wheat acreages
raised in the three year period, 1880.
1881, and 1892, of incorporating
farmers as we'll as those signing con-
tracts. The committee felt that the
large amount of volunteer work on
the part of a few in each township
would in most cases not justify the
organization in those townships.
In announcing its decision not to
organize, the county wheat committee
asked that wheat farmers DESTROYS
of entering the plan or wishing more
information address their requests to
the county auditor at Pine City.

HOLIDAY PICNIC
DRAWS MANY
AskOy Park is Scene of Interesting
Event Sunday With Four Speak
erS Present.

Between two and three hundred
people attended an enthusiastic pic
mic in the Askov park Sunday which
was sponsored by the National Farm
ers Holiday Association, and heard
four speakers talk on the current eco
nomic situation and tell of the work
of the Holiday body. w. A. Dunbar
of Cambridge, national vice president
of the association, Harold Peterson of
Willmar, secretary to the state presi-
dent, L. S. Doran of the Central Co.
operative Association of South ST. Paul,
and Henning Nelson of Duluth, state
vice president of the association, were
the speakers.
The speaking program was set in
motion by Chr. Frederiksen, local
unit chairman, who called on John
Percy of Rock Creek, to take charge
of the meeting and to introduce the
first speaker which was Mr.. Dunbar
of Cambridge.
Mr. Dunbar confined his talk mostly
to the enlargement of Milo Reno's
talk at the Pine County Fair a few
days previously. Mr.. Dunbar also ex-
planned why the Holiday Association
called off the strike which was to
have taken place on May 13. In this
regard he stated that it was called
off because the national president of
the association, Milo Reno, had re-
ceived a telegram from President
Roosevelt to withhold the strike at
that time because he had promised
prosperity and that they should give
him an opportunity.
Mr.. Dunbar also commented on the
new farm plan saying that it is wrong
for the government to destroy surplus
crops and that he believed that it
was meant for the farmers of the
nation to produce and produce abund-
antly, but that they should have cost
of production or keep their produce
at home. Cost of production, said
Mr.. Dunbar, is actual cost plus labor
and wear and tear on the farm and
equipment. In closing the speaker
told the audience that the National
Farmers Holiday Association belonged
to every one and not just to the Of
ficials.
Hog Marketing Explained.
L. S. Doran, of the Central Coop
erative Association, whose talk was
sponsored by the Agricultural De-
partment, explained the deciding fac
tor in the present surplus of pork.
Mr.. Doran stated that the low price
on corn last fall was largely respon-
sible because the corn raisers had
fed their crop to the hogs rather than
to market it at prevailing prices and
his fact made large poundage.
Mr.. Doran stated that the govern
ment now proposes to buy one million
brood sows and four million pigs and
turn them over to relief agencies for
consumption of the needy, thus taking
them out of production. This will
decrease the surplus by taking out
about two billion pounds of pork from
the market.
The Askov band played several Sc
lections before the speaking and dur
ing the intermission between the
speaking of Mr.. Doran and Mr.. Peter
son the male chorus sang two selec-
lions.

"Know How the
Secret of Dress

Most women don't know how to
dress. they tell us at Teachers col
lege in New York.
'The majority of women today"
says Professor Locke of the college
household arts department, do not
know how to dress properly or how
to get the greatest value and salts
faction from the money they spend.
for clothing" And the professor pro-
ceeds to tell us how to do it:
There are two things to be con-
sidered when woman dresses.
"First, she should dress to make
the most of her physical appearance
and bring out her best points. Sec
ond, she should dress to bring out
the best traits of her personality.
The two are quite different things.
The first has to do with physical
characteristics such as the shape of
the face, nose. lips, the size and
shape of the hips. while the second
has to do with charm and grace.
"In bringing out either the physical
appearance or personality. one has
several tools to work with. These
are line, color. size, shape, and pro-
portion of the masses which go to
make up the costume. and the tex
ture of the materials. There are GER
tain fundamental principles in the
use of each of these which are neces-
sary for anyone to know in order to
dress effectively. They are practical
ly the same rules and principles that
any artist would use in creating an
effect in any medium"
That is all good advice, and we can
profit from it. But it seems to me
the professor has omitted to mention
the one great obstacle to becoming
dressing on the part of many women.
And thai is Fashion.
When the style arbiters in Paris
launch new sleeve or a new Shout
der or new skirt their concern
is not with the special problem of
Mrs. Smiths surplus weight or Mrs.
Jones' round shoulder-that is what
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones, If they
are wise, will consider primarily
when they buy clothes. More often.
however, they allow such terms as
''the very latest" "the smartest thing
to make them ObliviouS to the indi-
vidual phase of their dressing prob
lem.
Smart dressing and becoming dress
ing are not incompatible. But for
those of us who do not have model
figure and coloring, it does present
problem. How to get clothes that be-
come US, that express our own per-
sonality, and that are yet in good
taste and in the mode. It can be
done-for any and all of us-but it
takes time and neutrality-suspicious.
