PROBE BLAZE
IN GROCERY

The District fire marshal to-
day was investigating a three
alarm fire which last night
caused the injury of one fire
man and more than $4,000 in
damage to an American Grocery
Company store in the 900 block
Twelfth st. N. w.
Starting shortly after mid
night in the basement of the
three-story building in the heart
of the downtown shopping dis
trict. the fire swept through the
first and second floors.
twenty-five pieces of fire fight
ing apparatus were called to the
scene after the third alarm. Half
dozen firemen, equipped with
gas masks, which were reported
faulty, were forced from the build
ing by dense clouds of smoke.
Fireman Alvin Kendrick, fire
rescue squad worker, suffered nu-
merous cuts and bruises when he
fell through the first floor to the
basement. He was treated on the
scene.
After fighting the blaze for more
than an hour, firemen were un-
able to determine the origin.

WALLACE LAYS
AAA ATTACK
T0P0L|T|CS

International News Service
Admitting that the complex
ties" of the new soil conservation
program are "a little battling"
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
today asserted that it was meeting
with general cooperation OF farm
ers.
In the South, despite the late
start, reports indicate that 30 per
cent of the cotton producers who
participated in the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration pro-
gram last year will observe the
soil conservation program this
year, he said.
Publication Of names Of recipi-
ents of AAA benefit payments to-
falling more than $4,000 will not
cause farmers to hold back from
cooperating, in his opinion. He
said:
THAT has significance only
in certain circles. The amounts
of payments run generally to the
size Of the farm and everyone
in the community knows about
how much each farmer gets,
anyway"
In response to a query he said:
SIS there anyone who thinks
there isn't politics in 1t? The
only question in my mind Is
whether it is June or NOvem-
Der politics"
Admitting that names Of some
large beneficiaries from AAA pay
ments might not become known
if accounting was made to the
Senate Agricultural Committee
only on a county and commodity
basis, wallace said that to pre-
pare a full report on all recipients
of $4,000 or more would require
months of time. He said:
"f we are not required to
cross county lines and combine
commodities, we will be able to
get the full report to the Senate
in four or five weeks. If we are
required to make a report on
all individual recipients Of pay
ments over $4,000 from all
properties they operate, regard
less of county or State, and on
all commodities, it will take sew
eral months"

Why The Delay?

Those people of Sank Centre who reside on the
north side of the river, wondering when the State
Highway Department plans to complete the work of
building the cement sidewalks to connect with the
new bridge, on that side of the river. Temporary
walks have been laid, but it is evident to ALL that
these will not be for the comfort of pedestrians
ing the winter
The sidewalks at the east approach of the bridge
were completed last spring. and the remainder of the
work has been allowed to remain uncompleted. 1t is
understood that the cement sidewalks in question
council in recent session decided to arrange for bet
ter temporary walks.
The question of those people. residing the
north side of the river, why is the work not
pleted," remains unanswered, although it has been
said that funds have not been available. The work
far has been excellenty done but it is uncomort-
able situation for those who will have to cross the
bridge during the winter.

Sold Down The River!

An eminent American in recent speech declar-
ed that by of trade pacts with foreign nations
engineered by the government, the farmers of the
United States, had been "sold down the river"
Reciprocal treaties with foreigners making
it impossible for Minnesota to be reciprocal trader
with louisiana, any other state in the Union In
stead of the free interchange of products from state
to state, whereby Minnesota would sell wheat,
butter and beef to louisiana and in return buy
gar cotton pecans etc. from louisiana Minnesota
is buying cotton from Brazil and the Argentine and
sugar from Cuba, and at the same time milk products
and beef shipped in from favored nations and
his rghtful market.
Commenting on the assertion that the farmers
of the United States had been sold down the river
the Boston Transcript expresses the opinion that so
far as most of the agricultural population is
cerned it states the exact truth 1t adds that the
avowed purpose Of the so-called reciprocal agree
ments with Canada and other countries wholly
laudable, but that cog slipped somewhere and I'm
Gle Sam assumed his customary role of easy mark,
giving than he received in his dealings with
other countries.
The laudable purpose of these treaties to
able the United States to sell to foreign countries
of its surplus products and to buy in return
such goods as either impossible difficult to
manufacture here. Yet purchase canned beef
from South America, corn from Argentine, hams
from Poland, etc. Thus easy marks" in some 18
months, according to the governments own figures,
we bought so million dollars worth of goods more
than we sold to them. Our imports of farm products
have increased tremendously, and instead of being
raised by American farmers on American land have
put dollars into the pockets of foreign farmers.
1t is that this situation resulted partly from
drouth and partly from the governments policy of
restriction. We have not only lost export trade
farm products, but have failed to preserve our
home markets for our farmers.
That, the Transcript adds, is the price we are
paving for the privilege of being "a good neighbor'
to countries whose statesmen know how to drive
hard bargain.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Here Is Food For Thought
From Our Exchanges


although there are a lot of peo-
pie who do not seem to be able to
see it, the fact is that the large
number of trucks coming into the
small towns daily from the bigger
cities are going to eventually spell
the doom of the town, If contin-
ued. The large number of bread
wagons, sausage trucks, etc., are ia
king the place of what should be
local industries. They come in and
leave the goods, carry the cash out
Of town to be spent elsewhere, and
leave nothing in the community ex-
cept bad smell of the burnt gaso-
line they have purchased else
where. It is only question Of time
until they change from hauling for
the local retail business to taking
over the retail business with a
travelling truck store. 1t Is time
that the business men of the small
er towns were waking up to the
peril to their community"

and will not appear in II. He has
the backing of Father Coughlin
and DR.. Townsend, the importance
OF the support being Of course un-
known, but concerning which many
claims have been made. The best
that Lemke can hope to accom-
plish will be to prevent either
Roosevelt or Landon from getting
a majority of the electoral vote, in
which case the election would go to
the House of Representatives. each
state having one vote. Lemke hopes
that in such event. he might be
able to swing enough votes to win
on the theory that the republican
congressman would not vote for
Roosevelt and the democratic con-
gressmen would not vote for Lam
don, so in the dilemma they would
turn to him. 1t is rather a forlorn
hope. The calmest estimates seem
to be that Lemke has no chance in
any state except possibly his own
State of North Dakota. Strangely
enough he Is also a candidate for
reelection to congress so for the
first time in history we have a man
running for president and for an
other office at the same time. It is
a pretty safe guess that the race is
between Roosevelt and Landon and
that the voters-not the congress
men will decide.-Long Prairie
