Crowds Attend 18th
Annual Northwestern
Conference Sessions

Fciplinary self-kindly witnal keen,
capable and despite the weight Of
years directing the course of con-
ference business with understand
ing and finesse.
Caustic criticism was not with
held and the bishop played na
favorites. But his sympathy was
shown for the struggling young
men whose mistakes imperiled the
success of the work In his Urgent
admonitions to try again and try
harder.
Rev. T. B. Stovall and Rev. w.
Fl. Ogleton, Presiding Elders,
shielded their focks in the smaller
fields with explanations of the diff
ficulties they faced. 1t was an old
story to the bishop and one that
moved him not at all, for said
hepointing out the danger OF
failure-"If the 100000 members
of the denomination meet promptly
and fairly their duty, we should
be able to bring economic safety to
all-pay the churches out of debt,
pay the ministers living wage,
build new churches for the worn
out pastors and increase the valve
of the work we undertake manv
fold"
Therefore, our ministers must
not be permitted to come to the
conference and bring a report of
lessening support. They must try
and try harder"
Reports from the larger centerS
of Des Moines, Minneapolis and
st. Paul restored to the bishop,
his presiding elders, the assembled
ministers and the expectant audi
ence their full measure of salts
faction. Each city had gone over
the top. Each of them had striven
to out distance the other and
though this was not included in
the reports the audience clearly
indicated its own appreciation by
it's applause of the reports as pre-
scented by Rev. ]. A. Alexander
of Des Moines, Rev. VIM. E. Guy
Of Minneapolis and Rev. Carlyle
F. Stewart of st. Paul. During
the intermissions of the various
sessions all adjourned to the Chris
ton Center for meals.
The Reception
Wednesdays business concluded
with a public reception to Bishop
H. Blanton Parks, the visiting
bishops, w. II. Heard and M. H.
Davis, the attending ministers and
visitors.
The church was decorated with
days and flowers. Extra chairs
were brought in to accommodate the
huge crowd and the wealth of
music and speeches were presented
as shown in the program appear
ing elsewhere in this paper. The
following sessions of Thursday,
Friday and Saturday were given
over to the completion of the bust
ness of the Conference, inter-
spersed with music from Twin
City choirs. Sunday the appoint
ments of ministers to old or new
charges will be given by Bishop

HOG NUMBER
NOT CORRECT
COrn-hOg Contract Signers i'm Pine
County VIII Receive About
$4,000.

The county Corn-Hog Allotment
Board has again finished checking the
corn-hog contracts for further irreg-
ularities in the contracts according to
Albert Bjork, secretary Corn-hog Con-
troll Association
So far the county Allotment Board
has not been able to comply with the
for Pine county. 1t believes that it
has reached quota which is fair
to all contract signers and has passed
the information back to the state Of
flee for approval.
There have been several over-state-
which have been unintentional, by
merely carrying over the 1881 hogs
into 1882 and lack of memory as to
which year the hogs and feeder pigs
were sold.
The census figures for the county
corn-hog signers were asa sows and
the contract signers show S24 for the
identical period, it either shows an
under statement by the farmers on
their census figures or otherwise the
assessors are responsible for lack of
proper explanation or improper list
ing. The government is following
the census figures very closely in
making the corn-hog quotas for state
and counties, and if the farmers con-
tracts have been cut it is because they
show no fax figures or cenSuS figureS
for the period of 1882 and 1888. The
number of sows that the government
suggested that be cut for the Pine
county corn-hog contracts totals 606
and the number of pigs to be de-
Quoted is 5997. However, the Allot-
ment Board feels that this number
is much too high for it feels that it
has made a very thorough checkup
on the contracts, and believe that all
contract signers have been dealt with
squarely on the merits of the indi-
viduals, primarily census figures, tax
figures. evidence, classified into good,
poor and no evidence at all. The
total amount of money contract sign
ers will receive in Pine county will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
and all contract signers should be
sure and investigate their contract
thoroughly on sign-up day, which is
expected to be soon.

DENHAM CREAMERY
MAKES JUNE RECORD

For the month of June the Denham
Cooperative Creamery, of which AL
len Irene is buttermaker and man.
agerr enjoyed the largest output of
any one month of its existence. Forty
two thousand five hundred and eighty
eight pounds of butter was manufac-
tured, of which 500 scored Land
OLakes. The cream for this fine
butter is delivered at the door by
individual farmers, no trucks being
employed. Although this large
amount of butter was made, it could
be increased to at least 10000 pounds
more, said Mr.. Irene, if those farmers
who seem to persist in shipping by
truck to Duluth and also some as far
as st. Paul would sell it locally.
This practice is costing the commun-
ity lot of extra cash, and, quoting
Mr.. Irene, is thirty years behind
times, as people are awakening to
the fact they can run other factories
for their own good as we'll.

COUNTY UNITS
GET TAX MONEY
S c h DOL Districts of the
County Get Allotment
of $54,812.9O.
Towns and Villages Accept
$24,277.50; First Income
Tax Division Sent.

The July Semi-annual tax distribu-
ton was made last week from the Of
flee of the county auditor, the treas
urers of the various townships, vii
lagos and school districts receiving
warrants for their units share. The
distribution represents the tax collec-
tions due June 1, 1884, including such
collected since the date of the last
distribution. There is in general an
improvement in the collection of taxes
over year ago, due in part to the
Federal Land Bank program of re-
financing farm mortgages, it being a
requirement of the bank that all taxes
be paid on a farm before a loan is
completed. The Home Owners Loan
Corporation also has this requirement
in cases where loans have been re-
financed on village property. There
was also included in the warrants to
each school district the first allotment
from the income tax collection
amounting to $3.50 for each pupil of
legal school age.
The Pine City district received the
largest amount of the distribution get
ting a check for S7O45.33 and Hinck-
ley came next with $4495.7O. Askov
was third with S399S.O7 and Sand
stone was fourth with $3416.45.
Following are the various amounts
received by the subdivisions in the
cOunfy.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

With a dare-deviltry, born of the
desperation which is illustrative of
the fear of tyrant that his power
is slipping away from him, Adolf Hit

Troops" of his own political party.
How many men were slain during the
sensational campaign of bloody ruth
lessness is not known; may never be-
come known: Any table of statistics
of this kind would create a decidedly
bad impression abroad.
In the brief span of one and half
year Hitler has lost his battle on all
fronts; his political prestige is clear
ly waning; his conflict with the Cath
Ollie and the Lutheran churches has
brought him no results, no glory; his
economic policy has resulted in no
revival of German industry and en-
ployment and in the destruction of
German foreign trade and credit; his
financial efforts have brought his
country to that point of collapse
which is clearly indicated by the
moratorium of July 1, and his atti-
tude toward foreign nations has been
steadily engendering distrust and in
creasing hostility.
NapOleOn'S Example.
On June IA, 1900, the battle of
Marengo took place; the Austrians
had defeated the French army, but
just at the moment when defeat was
to become a rout, Napoleon calmly
took out his watch, saying to his
