VIII Sell Church Barn.

In accordance with an official no.
tice in the paper the owners of the
so-called church barn met ir the par
sonage last Thursday About a dozen
or more of the owners were repre-

they decided to give the barn to the

the hands of the church board and it
is expected that they will advertise
the proposed auction in the near flu

fetal committee consisted of only one
of each of these three couples. but.
as usual it generally ends with that

for both. Anyhow, they are making
thorough study of their job and will
try to present something original in
the line of decorations.
The official general committee ap-
pointed by the creamery board con-
sists of Peter Simonsgaard, Christie

And they hope to see a capacity at

Annou c ement

Having been requested and urged
by many of my friends to become
candidate for Commissioner of the
fourth (4) district, and being very
much interested in County govern
ment, | have decided and filed for
the above mentioned office.
NV former record shall be my plat
form during my term of office, as
Supervisor of Finlayson township for
fourteen years, and School Clerk OF
District No. 20 for eight (S) years.
The tax rate of Finlayson township
has been the lowest it has been in
twenty (20) years.
1t is imperative now, that re-
duction of taxes be effected in this
county. This can be accomplished
only through honest, efficient admin
stration, and through cooperation of
other commissioners in the county.
The tax burden at present is too high,
and can be lowered only through the
rigid enforcement of economy. Pine
county should be divorced from poll
tics, and established on a business
basis.
1t is my belief, that all county
business can be maintained for less
money. Fourth district road work
should be done by Fourth district Ia
Dor. Proper administration of the
road appropriation would eliminate
unemployment in this district. The
necessary equipment and supplies
should be purchased from local firms
to keep the taxpayers money at home.
This can only be accomplished
through an administration without
fear or favor.
Yours for economy and efficient
service.

Mrs. A. F. Wruck
Sights First Robin
Has Also Seen a Snipe and q
Meadowlark as Heralds
of Spring

When Lady Spring chose last
week to stick her pretty head out
for just a little while, it was with
misfortune. For Old Pop Winter
cracked kerwham on last Wednes-
day with one of the severest storms
of the winter-but the dainty Lady
was not to be outdone. She had
gone too for. What we mean is
that parental sterness could not
alter her decision now because she
already had egged a robin into this
territory and a snipe into our
midst the day before.
From the vicinity of the water
tank comes the word from Mrs. A.
F. Wruck that this week she
sighted a meadowlark. The little
fellow, who sings his peculiar
song all day, is one of the most
welcome of the feathered immi-
grants. Just where they made
headquarters during the snow last
week is a mystery, but this week
they were sighted again as robust
as ever. So when the dog shed a
little more hair that usual and the
kids" track up the clean kitchen
floor, and the help won't work; it's
not orniness, nor spite, nor laziness.
It's Spring!

ed a letter from c. B. Lund, Assist
ant Youth Director, in which he
commended the fine work done by
Mr.. Kohl in connection with the

this state in the conduct of this
work activity.

Negroes Prove
To Be Too Fast
Large Audience Witness Splendid
Exhibition of Basketball
Wednesday

In the exhibition basketball event
Wednesday evening the Harlem
Globe Trotters had their own way
against the Sank Centre Independ-
ents and scored at will from any
angle on the floor. The locals play
ed neat ball, but were outclassed
by expert hall handlers. 1t was a
clever show and well-worth the
price of admission.
The Negroes combined clever
ball juggling and vaudeville stunts
for the entertainment Of the large
crowd, and their heighth gave them
opportunity to just put the bal
through the hoop, so it seemed.
The Saperstein boys played a
real brand of basketball during the
forepart of the game, with splendid
ball passing and fast plays. AS the
game progressed they added a bit
of humorous work, until at the end
of the game they gave a riot OF
passing which brought the house
down. 1t was a splendid exhibition
and the visitors clever work show
ed that there are also some very
good players on the local Independ-
ent team. It was a commendable
event on the part of the local boys
ana the sponsors. and in part prov
ed to be successful financially.

Observations From
Washington
By Congressman Harold Knutson)

Congress received jolt the other
day when 1t learned that the City
Of Memphis had received $4,000 Of
WPA funds with which to build a
dog pound" It would seem that
$500 should build a pound fully
equipped with modern conveniences
such as individual shower baths
and hitching posts.
I happen to know of several
school districts up in northern Min
nesota that have not been able to
keep school the full nine months
for the lack Of funds. Some of
these school districts have applied
for WPA help but without success.
$4,000 would keep a number of
schools running full time. It would
seem that this is the case where
dogs come first.
Pretty Soft, Eth?
My readers will recall my hav-
ing mentioned In previous letter
rumor that a member of Con-
gress, who is big cotton grower
and rancher, had received $225, 900
from the AAA for cutting down his
production. The Republicans in
Congress have been trying for sew
eral weeks to get a list of all AAA
beneficiaries who received more
than $4,000, but the AAA Admin
istrator informs us that it Is too
much Of job to compile such a
list. For instance, we would like to
know what insurance company re-
ceived over 100000 for crop re-
auctions on farms which it had OBJ
tanned through foreclosure of farm
mortgages. No doubt many other
insurance companies have Jared
equally well. Then there is the case
Of the hog raiser near New York
City who feeds his hogs on garbage
gathered in the metropolitan area.
1t is alleged that he received $751;
900 for cutting down his produc-
ton. An Iowa farmer is said to
have received $24,500, but even
these large sums sound small when
compared with those received by
southern cotton farmers, some of
whom own and cultivate many
thousands of acres under the ten
ant system. We do know that many
tenant farms were taken out of
production and the tenants and
many farmers were forced onto re-
lief.
Making Little Progress
Very little progress has been
made in the preparation of the new
tax bill. The leaders realize that
any tax measure brought out just
before election is loaded with dyna-
mite. On March I addressed the
House on the subject of Taxes and
Spending at which time I stated
that it would not be necessary to
levy new and additional taxes at
this time If all needless spending
were cut out. concluded my re-
marks with this sentence: Amer
lea must be placed back on a sound
basis of paying as we go, and that
can, only be done by substituting
the pruning knife for the scoop
shovel" blame Congress fully as
much for all this spending as I do
the President because Congress
holds the purse strings. To me it is
very amusing to see Members of
Congress get up and talk about
economy when measure involving
