INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

One primary reason for the out
break of the World war in 1914 was
the existence of secretly negotiated
military and political alliances; when
President Wilson formulated his now
lamentably forgotten Fourteen Points,
he recognized this fact to the extent
of insisting on "open covenants openly
arrived at"
Like the other thirteen Points this
was ignored, and secret diplomacy
still flourishes as though to show
that it could not be ruffled by little
thing like a war to end all wars, y
or by the supreme effort ito make the
world safe for democracy"
Let it be noted, in passing, that
three of the principal goals allegedly
to be attained by the greatest of all
wars were, (D the ending of secret
diplomacy; (2) making future wars
impossible; (3) secure democracy as
the one desirable form of government.
What was attained?
% Secret diplomacy goes on Sc
renely; (2) the world is armed more
heavily for a future war than it has
ever been; (3) there is less democ-
racy and more autocracy in the world
today than at any other period in
modern history.
More Treaties.
In spite of these facts-in spite of
the crushing fact that millions of

HINCKLEY DENTIST
BURNED IN EXPLOSION

DR.. H. G. Swennes, dentist of Hinck-
ley and who comes to Askov each
Monday, suffered severe burns about
the face, arms and hands Wednesday
afternoon of last week when an
acetylene tank exploded. The plate
glass windows were blown out and
some fire damage was done to the
interior of his office. However, the
fire was extinguished and no serious
damage was done to the building. 1t
is thought likely that if DR.. Swennes
had not been wearing glasses at the
time of the explosion, his eyes would
have been seriously burned, but as it
was his glasses were completely
smoked.

LAND O'LAKES TO
MARKET BAGAS
Product of Northern Rutabaga Grow
erS Association Will Bear Land
O'LakeS Trade Mark.

After having representatives meet
with President John Brandt of the
Land O'Lakes Creameries and other
officials of that great cooperative
marketing concern, the central
board of directors and directors
of the local units of the North
ern Rutabaga Growers Associa-
tion held joint meeting last Thurs
day and decided to send out a letter
to each of the membership of the
Association telling of the agreement
made with Land O'Lakes for that Or
ganizatiOn to serve as a marketing
outlet for at least part of this sea-
sons output of bagas.
Mr.. Brandt and the director of sales
of the Land O'Lakes discussed the
matter in detail with the result that
Land OLakes will act as the official
distributor for the Association, but of
course this does not interfere or pre-
vent grower members to sell to au-
thorized dealers who pay the set min
imum price.
To Bear Land O'Lakes Brand.
The rutabagas which Land. O,Lakes
markets will be packed in sacks on
which the well known Land O'Lakes
trade mark is printed. This will en-
able the Acknowledgements rutabagas
to receive considerable advertising
and a certain amount of prestige
which could not otherwise be obtained
unless at considerable expenses in adj
vertising. OF course, the quality of
the product will have to be held up
the Association, if Land O'Lakes is
to market this product under its
trade mark.
1t is not certain yet as to how the
permanent regulations for deliveries
here at home will be, but AN endeavOr
will be made to start by selling all
the rutabagas grown, on a pool basis;
the first pool to cover the period from
the starting time to November 1; then
from November 1 until February %
inclusive, the pools will be of one
months duration and from then on
each shipment will be made separate
ly. Other requirements of the new
set-up, including what is stated in
this item, is contained in the letter
sent to each member and the board
urges each one to read and carefully
study his letter in order that he may
be well informed of the plan and will
extend his cooperation.

DUCK SEASON
OPEN 80 DAYS
State Department of Conservation
Announces Certain Restrictions and
Privileges for Hunters.

The opening day for ducks, geese,
jacksnipe, rails and gallinules was
Wednesday, October 3, and the last
day is Sunday, November II. MINI
rods will be restricted to shooting Of
these game species on Wednesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays of each week, both dates in
elusive. Mondays and Tuesdays dur
ing this period have been designated
by the Minnesota Conservation Com
mission as rest" days with no hunt
ing allowed.
In the past years duck hunting was
permitted from one-half hour before
sunrise, but this fall it will start at
sunrise and terminate each day at
sunset, with the exception of the
opening day when II o'clock noon is
the opening time. Bag and possession
limits on specially imperiled species
of ducks have been reduced, but limits
on other ducks and migratory birds
remain the same as last year.
A person may take in one day dur
ing the open season not to exceed
II in the aggregate of all kinds of
legally designated ducks and coots
and may not have more than "a in
possession at any one time of all such
species, except elder ducks, canvas
backs, redheads, bluebills, ringneck
ducks, blue-wing, green wing or Gin
namon teal, shovelers or gadwalls, of
which one may take not more than
five Of any one kind or more than
five in the aggregate in any one day
during the open season, and may not
have in his possession more than 10
in the aggregate or 10 of any one
kind of these species having added
protection.
Restricted Species.
Four geese, except Ross snow
geese, or brant may be taken in one
day with five of these birds as the
possession limit.
The daily limit for Wilson or jack
snipe, rails and gallinules is IL in the
aggregate with possession limit of
"a birds in the aggregate.
Taking of wood ducks, rudy ducks,
bufflehead ducks, swans and Ross
snow geese is forbidden in Minnesota
this season.
For the first time in the history of
wild waterfowling in the United
States, a federal stamp costing $1.O0
is required this fall of all persons
over 16 years of age who shoot mi
gratory waterfowl. These federal
duck stamps may be purchased at any
postoffice in county seats, in villages
and cities having over $500 popula-
tion, and in certain villages located
in duck hunting areas. These stamps
must be affixed to the Minnesota
small game hunting license.
"Wildfowlers must know their
ducks this fall Erling Swenson, di-
rector of the Division of Game and
Fish, cautioned "A crisis is facing
our wild migratory waterfowl and
species threatened with actual extinc-
tion must be assured of the added
protection provided. Several contri-
buting causes, mainly the widespread
drouth, batting permitted in many
sections, overshooting and disease,
have brought about the decline of
our wild duck population. Because
of these conditions, good sportsman
ship is needed on the part of hunters
more so this fall than ever before"

STATE MONEY
$129, 1928 in Checks Mailed
to Treasures of County
Districts.
Willow River Receives the
Largest Amount, Sand
stone is Next.

Checks totaling $129,29293 were
mailed out from the county auditors
office last week to the various school
districts of the county as payment 20
these units of the various State Aids
provided by law. This distribution is
made once a year, the money being
raised through State appropriation by
the Legislature, and is raised from
the State Tax Levy. In making this
appropriation, the State of Minnesota
is thus carrying out the mandate of
the State Constitution, Article Eight,
providing as follows: Section One:
The stability of the republican form
of government depending mainly upon
the intelligence of the people, it shall
be the duty of the legislature to estab-
hsh a general and uniform system of
public schools" No part of the aids
listed below comes from the State
Endowment Funds, but this is called
"apportionment" and is distributed in
a separate distribution. A summary
of the aids now being distributed to
the schools of the county by the state
is as follows:
Classification ..............$19,66 9.50
Supplemental ............. 52,629.46
Special Departments ...... 2,75S.34

Teacher Training ......... 4,439.OO

Library Aid ............... 21S.10
Vocational Aid ............ 2,414.72
Supplemental aid is paid in case
districts have high tax levy of over
Fl mills for maintenance, and 90
mill levy does not produce $40 per
pupil. This aid, in the case of Pine
county school districts, amounts to
over 40 per cent of the total paid.
The high school tuition aid of $685.
$500 amounts to over 81 per cent of
the total paid. This is paid to those
districts offering high school instruc-
tion to nonresident pupils coming
from outside districts which offer no
high school training. The amount is
81 per month per pupil, and in this
distribution quite sizeable sums were
received by the high school districts,
as follows: Hinckley No. 2, $685.,
Pine City No. $4,000, Sandstone No.

HUTCHINSON, Kans., May 2S
(NAN.A).-Harvesting in the great
est Winter wheat belt in the world
has reached a third twentieth CEN
tury cycle and the new era holds far
less to catch the popular fancy. With
commencement of harvest hardly
more than 80 days removed. little of
the old-time excitement Is found
here or at other points in the Ma
tions bread basket.
Ten or Is years ago harvest brought
thousands of men into the wheat
land, bent upon following binders and
headers from the south tip of the pro-
duction country far into Canada.
They piled in on freight trains, in
old flivvers, a few on the cushions,
and even walked in those years before
hitch-hiking. They filled the streets.
slept in convention halls, the parks
or right out in the open prairies.
They came from fly-bitten and
stuffy employment Offices in Chicago's
Halstead street and from saloons in
Kansas City's North Side, pitched a
few bundles, were paid fabulous wages,
were princes at premium for a few
weeks and disappeared as rapidly as
they came, returning to city flop
houses
From College Campuses.
They came from college campuses
to tighten biceps for the next year
on the gridiron and other agricultural
regions where the seasons allowed q
man to migrate to the next foot of
the rainbow" for extra cash.
Ten years ago that cycle was near
the end. 1t vanished almost over
night, due to the arrival of that iron
monster, the combine. which turned
another page in the history of wheat
harvesting. A farmer and his sons or
his neighbors' sons mounted the trac-
tor and combine and, presto, kernels
flowed into trucks by magic. The har-
vest was over without the old cry for
hands, the frenzied bidding for help.
Still, those were exciting days.
Wheat flowed fast and prices stayed
high. Clerks and stenographers, buy
ers and sellers rushed around in the
madhouseS that were the boards of
trade. From mid-May to mid-July
things in Kansa. moved around the
crop and its chances and finally its
cutting and marketing. The world
stood still in Southwestern Kansas,
the Panhandle of Oklahoma and
Texas and Eastern Colorado until the
wheat was safely on its way to market.

DR.. Lubin Urges Expansion
of Service in Teaching
and Public Health.

0y tUc AoSOCldIcu ElCoos
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 28.--
Extension OF Government services in
the non-profit fields such as teaching,
public health and recreation, yester-
day was held out as the only hope for
complete absorption of the country's
unemployed by DR.. ISador Lubin.
commissioner of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States De-
partment of Labor.
DR.. Lubln spoke at joint general
session OF the National Conference OF
Jewish Social Workers, the National
Council for Jewish Education, and
the National Council of Jewish Cen
ter Executives.
Other sessions of the convention
heard speakers warn Of the growth
of an anti-Semitic movement in the
United States.
Quoting figures prepared by his de-
partment, DR.. Lubin said there has
been a 81 per cent increase in per
capita pay rolls over 1888; 10 per
cent increase in the total number en-
ployed in the same year and that
half of the 100000 laid of between
1929 and 1888 have been re-employed
since.
Estimates of unemployment today,
he said, range from 100000 to
13,500,000 1t will be impossible. he
declared, to get real facts on unem-
ployment until accurate resignation is
achieved through unemployment in
surance.
DR.. Lubin estimated that the con-
sumers goods industry can absorb an
additional 100000 and the durable or
capital goods with the aid of the Fed
eral housing scheme can absorb
100000
For the remainder" he said, I'VE
cannot look to trade, railroads, min
ing, telegraph and telephone for any
substantial expansion.
The solution lies in having the
Government greatly expand such
non-proft public services as educa-
tion, health and leisure time programs
which could employ several million
people"
Both DR.. l. NJ Rubinow, national
secretary of B'nai Birth, and Morris
D. Waldman. secretary of the Amer
lean Jewish Committee, called on the
Jews to combat the importation to
America of anti-Semitism such as
now prevails in Germany.
