Second Half Schedule Will
Get Under Way in the
League Sunday.
Schedule Sunday, July 1.

Sturgeon Lake at Sandstone, NJ P.
S. Club at Moose Lake, Brook Park at
Askov, Finlayson at Willow River.
Sturgeon Lake won the first half
honors in the Pine County League
when they defeated the Sandstone
team in a playoff game at Sandstone
Sunday. The Lakers breezed through
behind the sturdy pitching of Mack
Anderson who held the Sandstone
batsmen to seven hits and turned
back eight by the strike out route.
The game was marked by heavy hit
ing as three home runs, two triples,
and four two base hits were
chalked up.
The visitors attacked the offerings
of Larson ferociously in the first in
ming when a home run by Nelson,
three singles, two bases on balls COM
bined with three infield errors netted
eight runs, a lead that proved suf-
ficient to win the game. They, how
ever, were not satisfied as in the Sec
ond inning a double by Monroe Cum
ningham and three singles brought in
two additional runs. They cOasted
along for three innings without scor-
ing until the sixth inning when Mon
roe again started the fireworks by
singing which was followed by Il
three-bagger by McHale, and sin
giles by Jack Cunningham and
Redenbaugh to produce two more
runs. The massacre started again
in the eight when McHale doubled,
Redenbaugh doubled, Mack Anderson
singled, Nelson walked, and with two
on, Dutch Gay lined out a home run
to clean the bases. The demonstra-
tion in this inning brought in five
more runs.
Sandstone did not score until the
fourth inning when Joe Klar, first
man up, lined out a long drive for
home run. They garnered another
run in the fifth when Anderson
tripled which was followed by single
by Palmer. They made a ninth inning
threat when with two out, Gjertson,
pinchhitting for Palmer, singled, Ec-
cles was safe on an error, they COM
pleted a double steal and both scored
when Stanchfield singled. A Larson.

Commissioner of Agriculture Speaks.
Denham Wins Baseball Game
From Willow River.

Patrons of the Denham Farmers Co
get-together on Saturday in the new
park that had been cleared off and
opened for that purpose, located east
of the creamery alongside the base
ball field. approximately five hun
dred people came out to enjoy the fair
picnic weather and meet with their
neighbors in the same friendly, Co
operative spirit that is eXemplified by
the other activities of the creamery
association.
The main feature of amusement for
the day was a ball game played be-
tween the Denham and Willow River
teams. The home boys won the thrill
ling contest to 4, which turned out
to be a pitchers battle between Lief
ty" Lehet and Hiding Gustafson. The
Denham boys got off with the lead
and held it until the sixth when the
score was tied. Gustafson assumed
the hero role for his home club when
in addition to pitching a masterful
game he batted out a long drive to
left field that was lost in the grass
sufficiently long permitting him to
circle the bases for home run.
Peterson was on base by virtue of a
single and the two runs scored broke
the tie that existed and proved to be
sufficient lead to win the game. B.
Hrubes collected three hits in four

Commissioner of Agriculture Speaks.
r. A. Trovatten, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, was the speaker of the
president of the creamery association,
who presided.
Mr.. TrOvatten in his talk stressed
the value of cooperation to the farm
err. He stated that only through CO.
operative marketing can the producer
get the fullest measure of returns for
the products he has to sell and he
lauded the farmers of Minnesota fo1
their loyalty to the cooperative move
ment. Referring to the tax problem
he stated that no appreciate amount
of relief could be attained until the
present high interest rates are re-
duced, for great portion of the taxes
collected goes toward paying interest
on municipal bonds, and no matter
how economical the state, munich
palities and schools may be, that bur-
den remains stationary. In his esti-
nation, a new social order demands
reduction of interest rates and con-
sequently he advocated the passage
of the Frazier-Lemke bill which pro-
vides for the reduction of interest
rates.
In closing he stated that the CO.
operative movement as pursued by the
farmers of Minnesota is not Com.
munism but that these people are
loyal to only one country, which is
our country, and to but one flag
which is Old Glory.
After the talk by Mr.. Trovatten, Mr.
Paulson of Hinckley recited some dra
matte and comical mOnolOgues to the
amusement of the attentive listeners
Following is the box score of the
baseball game:

ASKOV FLOWER
EXHIBITS GOOD
One Hundred Fifty Exhibits From
COmmunity'S Flower Gardens
Compete for Prizes.

The flower show and entertainment
at the Assembly hall in Askov Friday
evening under auspices of the Askov
Garden Club drew a large attendance.
The number of eXhibits-about $50
far exceeded the expectations of the
committee and the quality of the ex-
hibits was stressed by the judge, c..
H. SOmmers, from Rush City. The
committee in charge consisted of Mrs.
Arnold Sorensen, Mrs. Martin John
sen, and Mrs. A. w. Conway. In
addition to the flower show the COM
mlttee also arranged for serving cof-
fee, lunch and ice cream, most of
which was donated and the receipts
from the sale of this went toward
paying the cash prizes. The ice
cream department did an old time
land office business while the coffee
was not so popular on account of
the warm evening.
The entertainment consisted of cos
tunes worn by June brides at various
times during the past 80 years; Miss
Dagmar GraveSen presenting 1902,
Miss Helen GraveSen 1910, Miss Alice
Johnson 1924 and Mrs. Thorvald Sor-
ensen and Mrs. Harold B. johnson
1888. Arnold Sorensen and A. w. Con-
away showed and explained an inter-
esting series of slides on wild flow
ers and birds. Numbers had been
sold for several days on a garden
bench and a folding porch or lawn
chair. The lucky winners were A.
Henriksen, the bench, and Knud Pies
ner the chair.
List of Prizes.
This is the first time the Garden
club has attempted an early show, but
from the attendance and exhibits it is
evident that it is popular and will
be tried again. Later in the summer
another exhibit will be sponsored by
the club. Following is a list of prize

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

In the sOrdid saga of human stu
pidity and shorts ghtedness the date
of June % has a significance all it's
own, for today it is twenty years
since pistol shot, killing an Au-
strian archduke and his wife, set fire
to the European gunpowder barrel
and started the most horrible war in
the history of mankind; also, today
it is fifteen years since Germany and
the allied powers signed the YER
sailleS peace treaty, terminating the
world war and perpetuating the same
old quarrels and jealOusies which are
now paving the way for new con-
flagration.
When men of common sense pause
on a day like this to ponder the
lesson of the catastrophe of 1914-18,
they logically conclude that states
men, politicians, generals and adj
mirals must have learned something
must, indeed, have opened their
eyes to the fact that repetition of
the world war will be too destructive
to even imagine. But the fact is that
the statesmen, the politicians, the
generals and the admirals are tread
ing the very same paths they were
following before 1914. Those paths
lead, inevitably, toward one goal, and
that is war.
Futile Efforts.
1t is true that since the signing
Of the Versailles peace treaty June
%, 1919, many efforts have been hon
estly made to prevent a new outbreak.
1t is also true that they have all
been utterly futile, for the great pow
ers of the world are today more heav-
lily armed than they have ever been;

CAPITOL FACES
ALTERATION

Realignment Of the east front
of the Capitol Building is likely
to be undertaken within the COM
ing year as the next major i'm
provement of Capitol Hill.
This project has been under
consideration for a number of
years, but has been delayed from
time to time for various reasons.
David Lynn, Architect Of the
Capitol, said today that when the
new Supreme Court Building is
completed there will be no other
major project in sight for the i'm
mediate present, unless the work
on the Capitol Building is pro.
jected.
Predicts Some Action
He added that Senator David
I. Walsh (DD, Of Massachusetts,,
chairman of a Senate subcommit-
tee in charge of plans for the re-
modelling of the Capitol, Sug-
gested last year that some action
may be recommended for adop'
ton by Congress along this line
during the coming session of Con-
greSS.
AS long ago as during the Civil
War, a committee made q study
of the project and recommended
that the funds be made available
to proceed with the project. AT
that time, with the war in pro.
gress, it was not feasible to spend
the money for construction pur'
poses then. Then, as reconStruc'
ton set in after the war, the
project was dropped gradually.
Since then, however, it has come
to the fore and the Walsh sub
committee has had the PROPOSE
ton under consideration.
Mr.. Lynn explained that vari'
Gus plans for the remodeling have
been proposed, but that the one
which seems most feasible calls
for bringing out the center part
of the east front of the Capitol
about 40 feet, so as to correct
the present optical illusion which
makes it appear that the dome
of the Capitol is not in the cen.
ter of the building.
Marble for Granite
Mr.. Lynn also contemplates
that when this work Is under
taken, the granite of which the
east front is now built will be
replaced with marble and that
marble also will be substituted
for the granite of which the west
front Is Quilt.
It is estimated that the cost
of the entire lob would be ap
proximately $3,500,000, and 1t Is
believed that a direct appropria
ton would be made for financ
ing the work instead Of having
the funds come from PWA OF
other emergency funds.
