1894 STATE FAIR
DATES ARE SET
About 100000 More Visitors Attend
This Years Fair Than
A Year Ago.

The 18th annual Minnesota State
Fair will be held from September l
to 8, 1884, it has been decided by the
board of managers. Next years fair
will be known as the Diamond Jubilee
Fair.
This announcement was made by
the management following the close
of the years successful fair.
The 1888 exposition was a tremen-
dous success, attracting 4 record at
tendance of more than 100000, an in
crease of approximately 100000 Wis
itOrS over year ago.
The fair made small profit. The
exact amount will not be known until
a complete checkup can be made OF
receipts from all sources, including
outside gate admissions, grandstand
horse show, sale of exhibit space, con-
cessions, and percentages on rides
and attractions.
The wisdom of the management in
reducing the admission to 25 cents
early last spring, and the adoption OF
the Everybody Pays" policy, along
with the splendid educational and en-
tertainment features, were factors
that combined to make this years
State Fair one of the most successful
in history.
The weather was ideal throughout
While rain probably cut into the at
tendance somewhat on Labor day, not

FORECLOSURES SHOW
DECREASE IN NUMBER

Real estate foreclosures in the
United States declined appreciably in
the month of July, 1888, according to
a survey by the Division of Research
and Statistics of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board, made public today.
This survey, covering farms and
commercial properties as we'll as
homes, is based on reports received
by the Board from 1850 representative
communities in the United States. 1t
covers 53.7 per cent of the total pOpu-
latiOn and is considered by the Board
as fair picture of general conditions
throughout the country.
The total number of foreclosures re-
ported for July. 1888, 1920, shows
a decrease in foreclosures by 2,4S2
since June, in which month there were
1850 foreclosures. The decline is
noticeable in practically all the twelve
Federal Home Loan Bank Districts,
indicating that the condition is not
confined to the more prosperous local
tiles, but is a general trend in all
sections of the country.
There were no foreclosures in July
in Pine county and none in August as
compared to six in July, 1882, and
five in August, 1882. Indications are,
however, that there may be some in
September.

ABOUT SELFISH FIRE BUGS
AND GAME POACHERS
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
Ernie must have slipped little
when he sent Fred Schmidts ignis
fatuus letter, printed in the Amer
lean of Sept. 21st, from Markville, in
stead of Sandstone, where Fred has
received his mail for many years.
Fred surely wouldn't make such a
simple error.
Of course, Fred is forgetful! He
didn't mention having smoke on his
place, Aug. II, 1888, and then again on
the oath. This time two wardens
warned them to put a fire break
around the fire. Still smoke on
the 25th. Then he says on the Goth
his wife discovered fire. 1t doesn't
seem to pay to have four men asleep
for three days, in fire season, with
hay in the windrow and smoke on the
meadow. Still smoke on the 2Sth
and 31st. Must have been a sleepy
time.
All of Fred's neighbors and friends
lived about ID miles away that at
tended his hearings, except witnesses
for the state. So far from neighbors,
Fred?
He mentions "Mr. Taxpayer" but
doesn't explain how very little taxes
he and his ''13 mile neighbOrS" pay
toward maintaining the forest service
in Pine county. l will wager, the
amount wouldn't cause a depression
i'm a baby penny hank
Fred says abolition of all conserva-
tion officers would cut his overhead.
l say if he would go out and bring to
justice the one per cent of the citi-
zens who are selfish fire bugs and
game poachers, making their living
by law violations, he would more than
cut out this part of his overhead
Then Pine county wouldn't need con-
servation officers and we could all
live in E. G. p, eg. Ernie's Game
Paradise.
A NEIGHBOR.
P. S.-Don't be selfish, Fred! Others
need work. All families cannot live
from township and county road funds

PHUN'S POP-VALVE

l have just finished reading his
tory of the world, covering the first
twelve years after the signing of the
armistice, 191S-193O. 1t was writ
ten by the English historian, Gibbs.
If you have been kidding yourself into
the belief that we have been living in
peaceful world since what we call
the end of the war and that there is
no fear of another one you should
read this book. He finishes the mar
rative this way: Looking back on the
history of the last twelve years, all
that turmoil of passion and cruelty,
all that narrative of folly and wicked
ness, the damned stupidity of so much
of it, the intolerance and the hatred,
the lack of mercy among men, it is
hard to believe that human society
may be controlled by intelligence or
that the beast in us can be tanned"

GOOD BOOKS ARE VALUABLE

For neighbors and folks in a COM
munity to get together now and then
for good visits, to discuss the welfare
of the community, to enjoy athletics.
to play and amuse themselves is fine
and is in place. In fact there is some
thing wholesome about grOwnups and
parents becoming like children, in
dulging in their games and frolicking
with the children. Those kind of
friendships are ideal but the kind
where two families have to be to-
gether early and late doesn't always
pan out so good. The friendship
where one wants to own the other is
selfish, is not wholesome and not last
ing. The true and binding friend
ship will last beyond day, week,
month, year, or even several years.
There are exceptions to all rules, but
generally where two individuals or two
families get together so often that they
hardly have time to call on others
unless they are folks Of some degree
of culture, the conversation runs to
gossip in the long run and that is
when time can be used more profitably
at card playing and far more profit
ably at reading. Some time spent
with good authors will be far more
profitable to the individual, less con-
ducive to squabbles and entangle
ments, and it breeds thinking instead
of talking.

INITIATION MUST COME

President Roosevelt has likely been
waiting to see how many of the mort
gage companies, insurance companies,
real estate firms, banks and private
mortgage holders would reduce the
amount of the mortgages and to what
extent. Discovering that they cannot
be counted with philanthropists, and
in many cases not even good business
heads, the president will most likely
take the bull by the horns and initiate
the money! power granted him by
the last Congress. If the content OF
gold is cut from "a grains to IL grains
in the dollar it will have the same eff
feet of cutting the mortgage so per
cent. AS things are going, initiation
must come and it will also be the
healthiest for the administration if
the initiation is not delayed very much

NEW COMMISSIONER KNOWS
WHAT HE is ABOUT

What has become of all the shout
ers for c. NJ. BabcOck, former COM
missioner of highways in Minnesota?
built up such halo around this man
that to even suggest some one else
might fill his position was next to
treason. N. w. Elsberg was appointed
to the position of highway commits
sioner and took office Jan. 1. Gov
He not only appointed a good execu-
tive but he chose in Mr.. Elsberg a
man who is an able engineer and
who has built some big bridges in
Minneapolis. He did not step out of
retail store into the highway de-
partment.
The Dassel Dispatch has the fol-
lowing to say regarding Mr.. Elsberg's
ability to make decisions and his
firmness:
1.-The critics in the smaller COM
munities, who condemned the appoint
ment of Highway Commissioner N. w.
Elsberg, cannot help but appreciate
his determined stand against the at
tempt of the three large cities in the
state to hog the greater share of the
ten million dollar federal road fund
Not satisfied with having the states
paved roads radiate out from Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Duluth, they want
the state to step in and pave their
streets over which these highways
pass. Elsberg's allotment to these
three cities was ample but they
wanted still more and his determined
stand against their demands will help
the remainder of the state get its
just share"

THEY PAY THEIR WAY

The village of Tyler, out in Lincoln
county, has had a municipal light and
power plant for about quarter of a
century. The village has charged the
going rates on current and has made
a neat profit. 1t is a village of about
1000 with good streets, sidewalks,
water, sewer, and all modern con-
veniences.

last of the outstanding bonds, and
the payment of the last of the notes

the Tyler Journal, ''the village Of Ty-
Ter is entirely without debt. This con-
dition may be credited largely to the
conservative management of the viii
lage affairs, and the earning power
of the municipal light and power
plant. The taxes of Tyler have been
consistently lower than those of any
other municipality in the county, and
lower than most of the towns of its
size in the state.
Tyler citizens may we'll be proud
of the debt-free condition of their
town when they consider the debt
burden of some other towns of ap-
proximately the same size, notably

When all the experiments have been
tried, and majority rule has ineffectu-
ally adopted its method of dealing
with alcohol, it will be found again, as
it was found long, long ago, that the
decision must rest with each indi-
vidual. He and he alone must settle
the question for himself, whether he
shall be absolutely dry, with full COM
mand of his own senses and conduct;
or shall drink moderately and tenn
perately because he can do so with
out harm to himself; or shall be a
human wreck. drunkard and an out
cast. Alcohol is with us, always was
and always will be. No legal ban can
keep men from making sots of them
selves, any more than it can prevent

RADICALISM GOES RESPECTABLE
little Falls Herald)


In an address before conference
of major industries attended by 1900
of the nations leaders of business,
industry and finance in Chicago in
$780, Glenn Frank, president of Wis
consin University, commended that we
must move toward shorter hours,
higher wages, lower prices and small
Ter profits per article or transaction
or resign ourselves to the suicide of
our high-powered machine economy.
Because of this address Professor
Frank nearly lost his job. 1t was
held by powerful influences that he
was fostering a dangerous radicalism.
Today these principles are seen to be
the basic planks in the program for
national recovery and men without
number, who lately damned these
principles are, with varying degrees
of enthusiasm, embracing them as
life savers. Radicalism of yesterday
has become the responsibility of to-
day.
