Nine Day Pheasant Season

A nine-day pheasant season from
October 16 to "a inclusive for So
counties in the southern and central
portions of the state and a nine-day
quail season from October 80 to No
vember for five counties in the eX-
IRENE southeastern corner of the state
were announced last week by Her
man c. Wenzel, commissioner of con-
servation.
Shooting will be allowed from IL
o'clock noon each day until p. m
instead of until shutdown as in for
mer seasons. Commissioner Wenzel
said the 5 o'clock deadline was de-
cided upon because of the confusion
caused by the shutdown closing regu-
lation. Many hunters unintentionally
violated the law under the old ruling
he said.
There will be no open season on
prairie chicken, ruffed grouse, sharp
tail grouse, mourning doves, wood
cock and chukar cartridges.
Bag Limit.
The daily bag limit Tor pheaSants

hen; the possession limit is five cocks,
or four cocks and one hen; the season

two hens.
For quail, the daily limit is six

Supply OF Grass
Cattle Increased
Largest Run of Grass Cattle
for Year Arrives; Hogs
Steady; Lambs Strong.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 80, 1887
(U. S. D. Al: With the largest run of
grass cattle for the season here on
Monday, prices for all grass slaughter
classes worked unevenly lower in a
draggy trade. About so per cent of the
run consisted of stockers and feeders.
Grain-fed cattle were little changed
but grassy killers ruled Csc or more
lower and Stockers shared the lower
tendency Grass killer steers earned
$500 to $1,000 mainly. Good and
choice granted steers were quotable
at $11.00 to S1650. Most grass heif-
ers went at $500 down but good
grain-feds sold up to $1,000 or more.
Plain to good beef cows earned S4.75
to $3.50, low cutters down to S3.25.
Most western bulls made $3.50 down,
weighty native bulls up to $5.85 or
more Good western stocker steers
sold at $3.50 to $3.50, few up to
5000 Good feeding heiferS of weS-
tern origin were secured at $500.
Hogs were generally steady with
the close of last week and supplies
around the market circle showed a
tendency to decrease. Trade on Mon
day was active with good and choice
160 to $50 pound weights selling at
SLIPS to S11.50 and the limited num-
Der of $50 to 800 pound butchers at
5000 to S11.40, heavier weights
down to $1,000 or less. A few 40
to 160 pound kinds turned at $11.00
to S11.50. Good packing sows seal
ing under $50 pounds cashed at $3.50
to 1918, several lots at $685., and
weightier sows at 1925 to $9.65.
Feeder pigs arrived in more liberal
supply and bids were weak to lower.
Reduced supplies of slaughter
lambs gave that market a stronger
undertone and most good to choice
native lambs opened the week strong
to Csc higher with the bulk at $1O5O.
Best fat range lambs reached $1O85.
Choice slaughter ewes held at $500
and lower grade killer ewes were
weak to Csc lower or mostly $375
down. Feeding lambs ruled steady
as 81 to 81 pound range feeders
made $1,000 and native feeding lambs
went at $3.50 to $500.

|Askov ALI Set
|FOrHundreds To
Meet, Celebrate
First Annual Rutabaga OBJ
servatiOn Assured of En-
thusiastic Response.

Weeks of preparation have left
no stone unturned in making success
full the first attempt by the Askov
community to stage special day in
observance of the value of its chief
crop-the rutabaga. Indications at
this early hour are that the village
will be packed from early morning
until late night by an enthusiastic
throng to witness and to take part
in full day of entertainment and
social gathering.
Thanking a roped-off Main street,
where there will be eating and enter
tainment stands galore, will be an
elaborate parade headed by the Askov
band aided and abetted by musicians
from Hinckley and Sandstone. A
feature of the day will be the corona
ton of the community's rutabaga
queen, Miss Josephine Petersen, who
was last week chosen by a popular
vote in the community. This cere-
mony will fittingly open the day and
will be an elaborate, but short func-
ton beginning at 10:45 a. m. From
the time the parade begins until late
hours of the evening something will
be doing.
There will be merry-go-round, a
kiddie-car ride, large bowery floor
to accommodate dancing feet both aft
ernoon and evening, speaker and a
good sports program, which will in
clude two kittenball games, one be-
tween Askov and Sandstone just be-
fore noon, and the other between
Askov and Pine City at o'clock in
the afternoon
An old time dance will be spon-
sored in the afternoon for those who
enjoy the old steps and tunes and in
the evening the Mello-Blues orchestra
will play popular dance tunes for
those who will be modern.
All roads lead to Askov today and
they will be busy, it is expected.

shooting in the open areas with re-

Is Now At Hand
Four Pine County Com
munities Sponsor Special
Events in Eight Days.

Leading off with Sandstone's Har-
vest Festival Saturday, August 70
and that being followed by Hinckley's
Korn and Klover Karnival Tuesday
and Wednesday, this busy week will
end with Askov's Rutabaga Festival
today and Kerrick's annual Commun-
ity Fair Saturday.
Besides this the State Fair begins
its weeks session Saturday and that
event closely follows many county
fairs, of which Pine county's fair
was one.
Sandstone Attracts.
The Sandstone community was for
tunate this year in getting its day in
ahead of the rain which has been
falling intermittently so far this week
and the day was a complete success
from the standpoint of attendance
and entertainment features. The at
fair is an annual feature in the Quarry
City.
Hinckley Has Two Days.
The Hinckley community had
gloomy prospects for its annual Korn
and Klover Karnival Tuesday morn
ing when rain had fallen during most
of the night and continued until
nearly noon However, the afternoon
was mostly fair and reports from
there are to the effect that the at
tendance was good.
Wednesday mornings weather also
started to give up moisture, but the
rain came in local showers and the
sun won its battle toward noon and
finished the day with bright prospects
for Askov's Festival which is today
Kerrick's plans are all shaped and
it is expected that the usual good
fair will be enjoyed there as in the
past.

International News Review

international law which protects nom
combatants against attack.
In Tokyo feeling prevailed that
rather clumsy attempt to twist the
tail of the British lion had been made,
but, at the same time of writing, no
Japanese admission of error had been
forthcoming.
Tokyo Suspects.
Until 1922 Japan and Great Britain
were allies; at the present moment
they are very much at odds, and it
may be that London will deem it
determined manner than has been
used so far. However, Japan does
not fear Great Britain very seriously.
Butt does fear Russia.
And the Soviets have come into
the Asiatic picture this week, for
long continued negotiations between
Moscow and Marking have resulted
in the signing of a non-agression
treaty between Russia and China.
Japan was offered such treaty by
Russia several years ago, but de-
clined to entertain the idea. Now
China jumped at it. And Japan has
lurking suspicion that there is more
to it than mere non-aggression, that
there is, in fact, some secret clause
which makes it imperative for Russia
to come to the aid of China, assum-
ing that real crisis arises.
Whatever the fears of Great Brit
ain and Russia may be-there is no
abatement of the Japanese warfare
against China; indeed, high govern
ment officials in Tokyo have publicly
said that the only thing which would
put an end to the war (Which is not
warD is China's complete and alb
ject humiliation.
Campaign in Spain.
Last week, after months of siege
and aggressive efforts, General Fran
cisco Francois fascist rebel army cap
tured the Spanish city of Santander
from the legitimate government, and
this week the insurgents are surging
toward Zaragoza Some exceedingly
heavy fighting has been reported, and
dispatches TEEN with details to the
effect that thousands upon thousands
of men have been killed.
All reports of losses still have to
be taken with big pinch of salt;
when the rebels say that the gov
eminent suffered loss of $4,000 men,
and when the government insists
that the rebels lost 10000, the care
full reader and observer will make
allowance for the fact that all such
reports are colored according to the
aspirations and hopes of the source
from which they emanate.
