Going to the polls Tuesday to Sc

and Democratic parties for the gen

the Priest Rapids valley held one
Of the quietest elections in recent
years.
A contributing factor to the quiet
Of this election was the new sys-
TEN of blanket ballots. IN previous
primary elections party leaders were
able to check on the strength OF
their party's vote through the num-
Der Of ballots issued, but this year
they had no such opportunity.
Even during the evening, however,
as the votes we're counted there was
not the usual crowd at the polling
places, due in part to the fact that
there were no close contests for
local offices, and in part to the
fact that statewide returns by way
Of the radio were more effectively
given than before.
In the absence Of a, definite test
of party strength, there were three
phases of the present campaign
which held the interest OF most
people in the state: n

Townsend clubs as reflected In the

AGED SANDSTONE
PIONEER PASSES
Last Rites for A. ]. Hall, 20, Were
Held There Wednesday
Afternoon.

The death of a respected and long
occurred at hospital in Minneapolis
where he had been taken a week be-
fore. Mr.. Hall, though active, had not
been in robust health during the past
few years, but his death at this time
came as severe shock to friends,
neighbors and his family.
Andrew Johnson Hall, the son of
Laura Hall, and Rev. Jonathan
Hall, Methodist Evangelist, was born
August 6, 1866, at LeSueur.
He was orphaned at an early age
and made his home with DR.. and
Mrs. Hitchcock of Mo:ristown. They
later moved to Springfield, where he
grew to young manhood. There he
was drug clerk in DR.. Hitchcock's
pharmacy.
In Mankato he was married to Indy
Atkins, who with their infant, passed
away a year later.
Second Marriage AZ Years Ago.
He returned to Springfield where he
met and married Elma Birdsall Dut-
ton, Oct 5, 1894. They moved to Pine
county in the year of 1900, where they
resided on farm between Sandstone
and Groningen, moving to Sandstone
in September 1906, where they have
since made their home.
He took an active interest in the
affairs of the village, and served 16
years as a member of the council as
trustee.
Mr. Hall was a prominent auc-
tioneer and business man for many
years, running a grocery and hard
ware store. Later he became local
dealer for the International Harvester
Co., from which position he was forced
to retire because of ill health.
He was a charter member of the
Methodist Episcopal church of this
community, and transferred his mem
bership to the Congregational church
at the time the Methodists and Pres
byterians united.
He is survived by his wife, Elma;
a step-son, Clifford Dutton, of Califor-
mia; a step-daughter, Mrs. Anna Gill
lesby; three grandchildren, Everett
and Andrew Briggs, and Jessiedale
Dutton, who have grown to manhood
and womanhood in his home and to
whom he had been a devoted and low
ing grandfather; two sisters, Mrs. VIM.
Hoppe of Moorhead, and Mrs. Ray
Akely of Fargo, N. D.; two brothers,
Charles and Frank of Willow River;
and also four nieces and five nephews.
The funeral was held from the
home at p. m. and from the Con-
gregational church at 2:3O Wednesday
with Rev. John A. Hughes officiating.
Burial was made in Springhill ceme-
terry.
The family has the sincere SYM
pathy of large group of friends and
neighbors.

Frequently one reads of canned food
poisoning taking toll of human life,
but seldom does it strike home as in
the case of Arnold Johansen, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Johansen of Tyler
and. a nephew of o. R. Keller of
Askov. Young Johansen, who was but
% years of age. was an occupant of
boarding house in Watauga, S. D.,
and ne with the mistress of the house
and two others ate some home canned
beans for dinner Monday night in
which botulism poisoning was present.
One of them died the following day
and the remaining three, including
young Johansen, passed away Wednes-
day before an airplane could arrive
with serum to treat the disease.
The young man was we'll known to
several in Askov having visited here
several times. He was clerk in a

eral arrangements had been made

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Overshadowing all international
events of the last few days was the
national meeting of the German Ma
tional Socialist party at Nuremberg
because of its potential ramifications.
What made the meeting conspicuous
was the fact that Adolf Hitler, the
country's chief executive, and some OF
his closest advisers expressed senti-
ments designed to stir up trouble.
Time and again Herr Hitler has en-
phasized his profound desire to pre-
serve peace, but one is simply taken
aback by some of the things he said
at Nuremberg.
Like last year in that city, Hitler
again this year stressed his antagOn-
ism to the Jew. The Jew is, accord
ing to this thesis, responsible for all
of the ills of the modern world, not
ably for communism. Was not Karl
Marx a Jew? Is not the Jew inter-
national in his outlook? Was not the
socialism branching out from the Jew
ish Karl Marx theories and doctrines
a forerunner of communism? Aren't
democracy and liberalism really Jew
ish in their origin? And Hitler an
swered all these self-posed questions
in the affirmative. Having thus iEdict-
ed the Jew, Hitler retired and let
his minister of propaganda, Josef
Goebbels, sum up the accusations; he
did it in these words:
THE Jew is guilty."
Dangerous Words.
Hitler spoke several times at MUIR
emberg; in one of his speeches he
practically melted his audience to
start a war against Russia; not in SO
many words, but that was very evil
IDENTIFY what he meant when he an
nounced that if he but had the Urals,
Siberia and Ukraine, Germany would
be swimming in surplus prosperity

have done something during the leg

when a man of their own crowd has
served as chairman of the appropria-
