High HOnOrs at u

Real honor was paid to Moose
Lake and Sturgeon Lake boy last
Thursday when Kenneth (Dutch)
Gay was awarded the Western
conference or Big Ten medal for
the leading athlete and scholar.
The dual home residence given
for Dutch" as he is best known
by his acquaintance and friends
in this section, is because of his
home being at Moose Lake where
his parents, the Fred Gays live;
and on the other hand he is
claimed by many to belong to
Sturgeon Lake because of his
activity in baseball circles there
and because of that being the
home town of his wife, who was
a Cunningham girl.
Kenneth had no little task cut
out for himself when he entered
the University of Minnesota since
his two older brothers. Chester
and Clayton, had before him
made their qualities felt in
football way there. But his rec
ord speaks for itself and he is
to be commended for his double
duties for his alma mater in
carrying on for the Maroon and
Gold on the gridiron and also
doing his work in brilliant man.
ner in the classroom.
The Minneapolis Tribune sports
editor gave space to the follow
ing utterance in commenting upon
his recognition:
1.-The Western conference medal
was bestowed upon a deserving
individual in Kenneth Gay, one
of three brothers who have helped
to make athletic history at the
University of Minnesota.
Kenneth is an excellent STU
dent and is held in the highest
esteem by his fellow students.
The Big Ten medal, awarded an
nually to the student best quail
flied from a scholastic and ath-
letic standpoint, went into the
proper hands when given to the
third member of the Gay family.
Moose Lake can we'll be proud of
him.

GARDEN SEEDS BEING
GIVEN TO PINE NEEDY

The Pine County Emergency Relief
committee has secured permission
from the State Board of Control to
purchase garden seed from the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
funds and at this time the County
Worker is carrying on the distribu-
ton with the assistance of corps
of volunteers chosen from the Red
Cross organization and including
some of the county commissioners.
These seeds are given only to such
families as are approved by the Emer-
gency Relief committee. These fam
lilies must sign pledge before they
receive the seed. BY signing this
pledge they agree to cooperate with
sentative from the Extension Division
of the University Farm and other ap-
pointed persons who aid them in the
planting of the seed and the harvest
ing of the garden produce. The per-
son who signs the garden pledge
agrees not to sell or give away either
the seed or the vegetables.
Sufficient seed is given each FAM
lily to enable them to raise what vege-
tables they will need all summer and
next winter. The Emergency Relief
committee believes that a vegetable
garden properly cared for will enable
the individual family to live better at
less cost than if they had no garden
at all. These are non-profit making
gardens. If the gardens are properly
cared for and have a good yield, the
saving in food costs for the next
twelve months will greatly exceed the
original cost of the seed.
Cooperating with the Emergency
Relief committee are the county
worker and the State Department of
Agriculture and the Extension Di-
vision of the University Farm. Can
ming demonstrations will be sponsored
by specialists from the Extension Di-

Scale to Higher Level

Washington, Aug. 81 R After
weeks Of steady decline, an upswing
in the wholesale prices on farm and
food products for the week ended
Aug. Is paved the way for an in
crease in the general wholesale price
level for the week.
The bureau of labor statistics of
the department of labor Thursday

of wholesale prices for the period at
69.6, as compared with 69.3 for the
preceding week.
The figures are based on average
prices for the year 1926 as 100.
Farm products, after declining from
sos to SIS during the four preceding
weeks, stepped back to a 58.2 level.
Wholesale food prices had expert
enced similar dip, going from 66.1
on July 20 to ga on Aug. 49, For
the most recently recorded week
however, they swung back to $50.
The general increase in wholesale
prices was shared by all ajor groups
except building materials, chemicals
and drugs, and certain miscellaneous
products. Hides and leather com
nlodities led in the price upswing
with an increase of per cent. The
index numbers compiled by the bu-
reau were derived from price quota
tons on 784 commodities.
