Members of the Pine County Corn
Hog Control Association this week
laid plans for series of meetings to
be held in all townships in the county
at which the details of the 1885 corn
hog contract of the AAA will be pre-
scented.
The chief purposes of the commun-
ity meetings, according to F. w. Ste
pan, chairman of the county associa-
tion, are to explSn the difference be-
tween the 1884 and 1885 contracts and
to arrange for the first sign-up meet
ings.
Since all bona fide corn and hog
producers will be eligible to sign the
1885 corn-hog contract, whether or not
they took part in the 1894 program,
they all should attend the educa-
tional meetings and learn as much
as they can about the new program"
Mr. Stepan says. 1.-THE farmer who
attends one of these meetings will be
in much better position to make an
intelligent decision han the one who
stays away"

RELIEF WORKER
HOLDUP VICTIM
Suspect Is Arrested i'm Minneapolis
Few Hours After Taking
Girls Money.

Helen Forsman, an employe in the
Federal Relief office at Mora, was
kidnapped and robbed while enroute
from Duluth to Mora last Monday.
With another young lady and a gen.
tleman friend, she was driving along
highway No. 81 south Of Sturgeon
Lake when a man drove alongside Of
her car and ordered her to stop. He
got out of his car and stated that he
was an officer and that she was un-
der arrest for speeding. He then or
dered the three to turn their car
around and go back to Moose Lake.
The young man was ordered to drive
the girls car and she was ordered
to get into the mans car, which she
did. as gun in holster was visible
and also a star.
Upon getting near Moose Lake the
man stopped the car and ordered the
young woman out, first taking her
purse which contained three dollars
and pay check. He then drove away
from her, leaving her to walk about
one-half mile into town. Meanwhile.
Laurence Thrun, patrolman at Moose
Lake, had been notified by telephone
by Miss Forsman's companions and he
notified the sheriff at Pine City. The
bandit had not gone far as his car
stalled at Rutledge and he stopped
some time at the Barbecue lunch
room. The sheriff at Pine City was
on the lookout for him but as he did
not appear, it was thought he had
taken some side road. Later while
driving along No. 81, Miss Forsman
and her companions spied car which
they believed to be the bandits and

.HAuPTMANN GUILTY.;
TO Be ELECTROCUTED
March IS is Set as Date by State
for Execution in the Elec-
tric Chair.

After II hours and 6 minutes
in a bare room in the courthouse
in Pennington, N. j., the jury of
eight men and four women filed
into the court and rendered a YER
dict of guilty which viii send
Bruno Richard Hauptman to the
electric chair on March Is for the
kidnap and murder of the first
baby of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh.
The trial, which has gripped the
attention of the entire world for
the past several weeks, has parad-
ed scores of witnesses before the
court and jury in weaving the
tight net of circumstantial evil
dence about Hauptmann which
sent him to his doom.
Hauptmann, with his cool and
stolid disposition remaining with
him to the last, heard the verdict
and sentence pronounced with
barely culver and was led back
to his Jail cell to await removal
to the death house at Trenton, N
j., where he will be electrocuted
1t is reported that the verdict
was reached on the fifth ballot
after some had held out previously
against the death sentence. How
ever, this is only conjecture as
the jury was guarded against
communication with anyone.
Although verdict of death is
given, defense attorneys indicate
that an appeal to the New jersey
Court of Appeals possibly will be
made. This high court is not
likely to pass upon the appeal un
til late in May.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Events are marching in many cOun-
tries these days, and some OF them
may defect the current of present
day history from its course.
While the people of the United
States early this week divided its in
terest between sensational murder
trials in New Jersey and Oklahoma
and an expected supreme-court decis-
ion concerning the federal gold clause,
stirring things were happening in far
off Ethiopia or, as it is also called.
Abyssinia, for, according to reports
from Rome, serious fighting was TAX
ing place along the never fully de-
termined border line between Ethiopia
and Italian Somaliland in the north
eastern part of Africa. Italy was re-
ported to have modified a part of her
army as we'll as some Of her colonial
troops, and in European capitals spec
ulation centered about the possibility
that Italy may intend to make Eth
opia one of her provinces.
Until this. disturbing news came the
world had taken for granted that a
controversy, growing out of border
fights early in December, was about
to be peacefully settled. for the
League of Nations council had per-
suaded the governments at Rome and

tiations. This newest turn Of events
will certainly not be conducive to the

her signature. more especially to that

Charles Beckman, game warden
at Pine City, is having a busy
winter in an attempt to feed the
thousands of pheasants that are
suffering for feed this year be-
cause of the deep snow. Efforts

so that ample feed could be sup
piled and its proper distribution
attended to. Last Friday after
noon, Mr.. Beckman spoke before
the general assembly at Brook
Park where the All Club is car
rying on a project of feeding.
Mr.. Beckman took some feed to

PINE CITY WINS
ALL BUT ONE GAME
County Seat High School Quint Has
Played Eleven Games so Far
This Season.

The Pine City high school basket
ball team added two more games to
its string of victories during the past
week, defeating Sandstone 25 to II
and Rush City 20 to 9. Both games
were played on the Armory floor at
Pine City. In the game with Sand
stone, Whiting, the shifty center of
the Pine City team, scored nine
points and was the high scorer of
the game. Hawley and Jepsen for
Sandstone played very good games
for their team, making 10 points be-
sides playing a strong guarding game.
The Rush City game on Monday
evening proved to be an easy affair
for Pine City, as they coasted along
through three quarters and then ran
in a substitute team for the fourth
quarter which seemed to be as effec-
tive as the first string team in hold
ing down the Rush City score.
Pine City, up to the present time.
has played II games, winning 10 OF
them. The only team to win vic
tory over Pine City was North Branch.
1t defeated them by the narrow mar
gin of 7 to 6. The scores of the var
ious games played by Pine City dur
ing the present season are as follows:
Pine City IL, Braham II; Pine City

they have met. 1t also indicates that

Calf Has IL HOOfs
To Divide Fame
With Quintuplets

A better foundation for his herd
seems to be the motto of Felix
Shusta, living II miles west OF
Moose Lake, as is seen by the birth
of freak calf by one of his COWS
last week. The calf, pure white
with two black ears and extra
large and strong body, has IL hoofs,
three on each foot. Each foot is
exactly alike and the hoofs are all
the same length. The calf stands
on all hcofs and is otherwise nor
NAL.
w. H. Nichols of Moose Lake,
purchased the animal.
This seems to be the age for
radical departure from conven-
tional ways and designs as seen by
the actions of congress, automotive
manufacturers and the DiOnne
quintuplets. This section of the
country can always keep up with
any of them, no matter what is
produced, even to freak calves.
