TIC IluS liClu VII
day and Saturday of last week was
a very successful event from the
standpoint of weather and attractions.
Interesting talks were given by Sen
ator Henrik Shipstead on Friday aft
ernoon and by John E. Regain, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, on Sat-
urday afternoon.
Minnesota's senior United States
senator was introduced by Chas. j..
Swanson, candidate for the Legisla-
ture, who referred to DR.. Shipstead's
work in Congress. He spoke of legis-
lation pertaining to labor, agricul-
ture, conservation, and veterans re-
lief.
Senator Shipstead referred to eX-
periences before the war and to the
high pressure methods used by the
international bankers to get the coun-
try into war Bankers loaned money
to the foreign nations and then forced
the United States government to enter
the war and protect loans that they
had made. Our country loaned bill
lions to foreign powers, many of which
have since practically repudiated
these loans. Now the American peo-
pie will be compelled to pay these
loans themselves. He also discussed
the monetary question, a field in
which Senator Shipstead is an ack-
nowledged leader.
Champions Nine Foot Channel.
Among Senator Shipstead's achieve
ments are the fact that he more than
any other man furthered the inter-
ests of the Mississippi nine-foot chan
mel. He fought for the INDUCTION bill
advocated by organized labor. He
fought for the Lemke-Frazier bill and
other legislation favored by agricul-
tural organizations. He favored the
government operation of Muscle
Shoals. AS a conservationist, he has
advocated the preservation of forest
lands in northern Minnesota that are
unfit for agriculture.
Mr.. Regain in his address Saturday
afternoon took occasion to challenge
the Farmer-Labor program and
sounded a warning against Commun-
ism in the state of Minnesota in the
event the Farmer-Labor candidates
were elected to office. Mr.. Regain is
fiery speaker and was given close
attention by his audience. He invited
Republican voters to join with the
Democrats and help defeat the Farm
er-Labor party in the coming cleo
ton.
Besides the speeches there were
many attractions before the grand
stand. On Friday evening a group
of children trained by Miss Andreen,
music instructor at Pine City, gave
demonstration of folk dancing which
was well received by the crowd. The
exhibits shown in all departments
were very good this year, being well
up to standard of former years, in
spite of the drouth.
Birds and Animals Shown.
One interesting feature of the fair
was the exhibit shown by the Snake
River Valley Conservation Club. The
exhibit was placed just north of the
school exhibit building, being sur
rounded by evergreen trees, trans
planted for the occasion. 1t con-
sisted of wild animals prevalent in
this vicinity. The following birds
and animals were to be seen: English
caller ducks, furnished by Arvid
Swanson; common crow by Monroe
Wilcox; screech owl and hawks by
Geo. Soderbeck black bear by Gust
Mahlen of Rush City; Monaghan
pheasants by Lawrence Duffman;
ringnecks by Wendt's Cafe of Hinck-
ley; golden and silver pheasants by
Donald Anderson of North Branch.
There were also several black pleas
ants shown and these will be liber-
ated in Pine county by the Game and
Fish Department. There were three
very beautiful specimens of deer and
one beaver. The exhibit drew many
people and was indeed interesting.
A feature event of the fair, of
course, was the public wedding held
in front of the grandstand on Satur-
day evening when Miss Henrietta
Schultz became the bride of Otto
Ieuhman. The bride was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Schultz
of Henriette, and the groom is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Leuhman
OF Royalton, Minnesota.
