County Board Wants a Loan OF
100000 and 81, 100000
Federal Grant.

Final ARRANGEMENTS were perfected
by the Board of County Commissioners
in Duluth at the meeting last week for
the part st. Louis County will play in
the MIRA campaign. A resolution was
adopted applying for a grant OF
81 100000 from the Federal government
and for loan of 100000.
Plans and specifications had been
completed by County Engineer Shop
ard in the 100000 road program OF
the county. The engineer and his staff
have been busy getting these plans in
shape to send to the state advisory
board on public works.
The program of construction will be
under regulations of the national re-
covery act The state group will pass
on the projects and will make recon-
mendations to the national administra-
tor of the public works division of the
national recovery administration.
The county board has called upon
the voters of ST. Louis county to ap-
prove on Sept. IL the $2000000 bond
issue which will be used to finance the
county's share of the huge program
which is designed to put hundreds of
men to work in every section of the
county.
Although Federal regulations stipu-
late that work shall be done by con-
tract, the board adopted a resolution
requesting the national public works
administrator to authorize performance
of the work in this county by day

continues to drop. Last year was much
lower than the year before, and the
use of ice cream continues to de-
crease.
Official reports show that in May.
Iowa used Is per cent less than year
ago, Minnesota II per cent less, Wis
consin 20 per cent less and South Da-
kota % per cent less.
Ice cream manufacturers claim that
beer has cut into their sales. This de-
crease does not come so much in the
sales to homes as the decreased use Of
matted milks and other ice cream
drinks. They report that pool halls,
road houses and summer resorts which
previously were good customers for ice
cream are taking very little this year.
Another unusual complaint is that
beer companies are getting cash while
the ice cream companies are forced by
competitive conditions to give credit.
This has resulted in even worse con-
ditions than have prevailed. Twin City

Football Begins
At Local School.

A squad of IS grid aspirants turned
out Tuesday in response to call for
football candidates issued by Coach
Edward Buckley of the local high
school. The turnout while none too
impressive had it's bright side with
the presence of seven lettermen of last
years team.
Prospects for fine line at the local
school this season are quite promising
as five of the returning lettermen are
forward wall performers. Cook, veteran
center, has not reported, but if he
should return and play the game he is
capable of, Buckley will have only one
position on the line that will not be
filled by letterman, and that is at one
of the ends.
Veteran line candidates are: M
Banks, end; Freshmen and Aelmini,
tackles; Kuitunen and C. Grahek,
guards. M. Grahek, guard ineligible
last year, will make a strong bid for
place with the possibility that
C. Grahek may be moved to center if
Cook doesn't come up to expectations.
The open end position is being fought
for by L. Klun, Simonich and Bird
Two lettermen are out for backfield
duty, Porthan, quarter back and Riik-
ola, fullback. Several pony backs of
last years second team will be avail
able for the halfback duties, but all of
them are rather light for the job
They are: C. Nicholas, G. Sutherland,
T. Koschak, w. Hoar, John and Frank
Miklaucich.
The local eleven is faced with a
tough seven-game schedule, four at
home and three away. The first game
is set for September 10TH The COM

Progress commission and chairman in

Several hundred Minnesota men and

luncheon at p. m. at the PabSt Casino
at the fair grounds, with Ben Bernie
and Paul Asch, famous band leaders,
in charge of the entertainment features.

Hall of Religion. 1t will be broadcast
all over the exposition grounds through

At p. m. Minnesota will be adj
vertiSed over a national hook-up over
NBC, with Governor Floyd B. Olson
and Frank w. Murphy of Wheaton,
chairman of the Minnesota Century of
Progress commission, scheduled to de-
liver the principal addresses There
will be group of musical numbers,
with Minnesota artists participating.
Following this will come a special
entertainment program at $3.50 o'clock
at the Court of States, with visiting

of arts, sciences, literature, diplomacy
and business.
A giant public reception is planned at
4 o'clock at the Minnesota exhibit, with
Governor Olson, members of the COM
mission, state officials and famed
celebrities of the state in the receiving
line. The festivities will come to a
close at p. m.
Mr.. Saxby said that 5000 invitations
have been mailed to mayors of several
hundred communities, to county boards
throughout the state, to patriotic so
cieties, fraternal bodies, commercial
organizations and women's groups to
send delegations and musical organi-
cations to the exposition on Minnesota
day. He added that Western railroads
are offering reduced rates for the round
trip, and that special trains may carry
Duluth and Twin City groups to the
fair.
Mr.. Saxby is being assisted by men,

labor under county supervision.
"By this method work can be started
within forty-eight hours after the Fed
eral government has approved our ap-
plication, whereas if contracts must be
let delay of twenty-four days is
necessary" Commissioner j. L. Pete,
board chairman, said
Chairman Pete announced in behalf
of the board that approval of the
county's highway program will not re-
suit in any material increase in the
annual tax levy and it will eventually
result in considerable savings in MAIN
tenance costs. He pointed out that the
work is part of the county's flve-year
program for improvement of the county
trunk highway system.
With 80 per cent of the entire cost
gift from the government, it would
be good business move on the part of
the board to carry out the program,
not only in the interests of economy
but also to afford employment to hun
dreds of men and livelihood to their
families by providing them with this
necessary work this fall and next year."
Chairman Pete said.
He said the county board is outlining
budget requirements for the next ten
years during which the Federal loan
will be repaid. He pointed out that the
funds obtained as gift from the
government as part of the MIRA drive
to create employment and the $2,0OO,-
900 bond issue will result in a reduced
budget for the road and bridge fund
for the next ten years.
Under the national industrial re-
covery act the Federal government is
authorized to bid for bonds for public
works at interest not to exceed per
cent. The government will submit bids
if the voters approve the issue at the
special election Sept. IL.

Mark Nolan and James Giblin tied
for the Washburn- Bailey Mitchell
trophy at the Bar Association outing at
Eshquaguma on July %. Friday the
tie was played and Nolan won / up,
thus setting at rest the contention of
Duluth and range lawyers as to their
superiority on the golf course.
Berger Lindbeck and Thomas Carey
survived the semi-final round of the
Shagawa Country Club mems champi-
onship. Lindbeck defeated Thomas
Thielman while Carey disposed of
Alexander ''Scotty" bakers. Iindbeck's
edge was two up with one to go, with
Carey taking bakers three up and two
to go.
Both Lindbeck and Carey are former
club champions, the former having won
in 1881 and the latter in 1929. The
championship play-offs take place
Sunday. A win for Lindbeck will give
him permanent possession of the club
trophy which has to be won twice in
three consecutive years for the right
to be kept forever. The match is ex-
pected to bring out some good golf as
both finaliSts are shooting a good game.
