Local Merchant Attends Convention.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. Albert Johnson
were in ST. Paul from Sunday till
Tuesday evening attending the annual
convention of the Fairway stores. Mr..
Johnson states that more stores are
continually being added to their asso-
citation, so that the attendance now is
around 1000 at the convention. One
of the main speakers at the conven-
tion stated that as a whole the bust
ness for 1886 should have been par or
equal to a normal year; if such was
not the case then the fault was likely
with the owner. The same speaker
stated that we are definitely out of
the depression and the cycle of in
dustry indicated that there would be
an increase in business generally in
1887, over 1886, but it was up to each
individual merchant to be wide awake
and take advantage of it.
During the weekend Mr.. and Mrs
Alex Madsen moved into the A. G.
Danielson residence.
Erling Nielsen went Monday to
Spring Valley near Rochester, where
he was to look over the prospect OF
employment in a jewelry store. He is
expected to return today
Werner B. johnson, Holger Dixen
and Carl c. Paulsen went to Mime

conference offered by the Midland Co

George Lindegaard is helping with

Miss Solveig Utoft returned yester-
day from her home at Luck Wis,
where she was called last week on
account of the serious illness of her
father, Henrik Utoft After a linger-
ing illness Mr.. Utoft passed away Fri
day at the age of So years, and was
buried Monday. Mr.. Utoft formerly
lived at Tyler where a number of
relatives still reside.
Last week the attendance at the
local school was very poor on account
OF Illness in so many homes. This
week it is at a complete standstill,

days of this week on account of the

provided almost wholly by local gov
ernments-citles. States, counties,
towns. Mr.. Roosevelt announced that
the Federal Government should take
responsibility where local governments
we're too hard pressed. At once local
governments, with much justification
and with great enthusiasm, described
themselves as too hard pressed.
Government Spent Lavishly.
The Federal Government threw out
money laVishly. In some cases it re-
quired local governments to help, in
some cases not. In some cases it gave
direct relief-that is, straight gifts,
called doles, to individuals. In some
cases it gave relief in the shape Of jobs
on public works. 1t gave relief to the
permanently helpless, and also to the
other class. those who could work, but
could not find jobs.
Presently some rough principles
evolved. Mr. Roosevelt said that
straight gifts, "doles,' were unde-
sirable, as coming from the Federal
Government The Federal Govern
ment's contribution should be con-
fined to jobs, provided by public works
This led to necessity of classical
ton. The permanently needy. cripples
and the like, were one class. They
were called the ''unemployables. The
other class were the temporarily dis
tressed, those who could work and
were willing to work, but could not
find private jobs These were called
the unemployed employables."
Care Of Unemployables.
The first class, the unemployables,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, should be cared for
wholly by local governments; support
Of these should be, as it had been, a
function OF the home governments
The second class, the unemployed
employables, were an incident of emer-
gency; these were casualties of a
national calamity, the depression; the
Federal Government should take care
Of them, to the extent that local gov
ernments could not
Out OF this policy arose questions
between the Federal Government and
the local ones. In some ways it was
in the nature of buck-passing. Since
local governments alone must support
the unemployables, the ones who
could not work. the local governments
had a motive for keeping that class as
small as possible. If person could
be called an unemployed employ
able" the Federal Government would
help care for him. So good many

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

In this column there was last week
a brief reference to the fact that
American ships had been shelled, in
one case, sunk, by japanese aviators
on the Yangtze river, not far from
Marking. While that city was being
definitely captured by the japanese,
a diplomatic conflict developed be-
tween Tokyo and Washington over
the sinking of the American gunboat
''Panay" and the Smelling of four
boats belonging to the Standard Oil
Company; the episode cost the lives
of four or five Americans and Euro
peans and considerable number of
Chinese nationals aboard the Stand
ard oil vessels.
Instantly the japanese government
realized the seriousness of the af-
fair-the possibilities of real con-
flict with the United States-and
sent to Washington an apology even
before Washington made a formal
demand for one. What was offered,
and what was demanded, was y an
apology; p assurance that the guilty
officers would be punished; 81 full
indemnity; ~ an absolute pledge
that such incidents would not recur.
Japan gave all these promises-while
the Washington demands for them
were still on the trans-Pacific cables.
Graver Situation.
Through his personal instructions
to Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
President Roosevelt sought to appeal
direct to the emperor of Japan in
the hope that he would take per-
sonal charge of the affair; at the
same time Hull addressed note to
the Japanese government which acted
at once, for not only did it repeat
it's assurances, but it also took i'm
mediate steps to penalize, in some
form, the high officers who, at least
technically, must shoulder the re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the
"Panay."
Meanwhile, the wounded aboard
the gunboat and the Standard Oil
boats had been transported down
the Yangtze to Shanghai, and upon
their arrival they reported that not
only were the "Panay" and the other
ships bombarded by aviators, but
that they, also, were machine-gunned
by Japanese motor launches. This
made graver an already serious stu

1000 Deer Inhabit
It0sca State Park

A series of "deer counts" have been
recently completed by CCC boys I'M
der the guidance of federal game
management experts.
On the basis of counts made both
before and after the deer season, it
is estimated that there are now APP
proximately 1000 deer in the park,
or an average of about As deer per
square mile.
This is nearly three times as many
deer as game managers estimate the
park should support under normal
conditions. Sixteen deer per square
mile would be regarded as an ideal
proportion if Itasca had not been
over-browsed for years by hungry
bucks and does.
This year, three counts were taken
before the season and three after.
In order to have fair samples of the
terrain, the counts were taken in a
heavily timbered section, a second
growth popple section and a lake
and swamp section.
The technique of counting deer has
been carefully worked out by game
managers, so that there is only a
remote possibility of counting more
than once
When the deer in a given section
of land are to be counted, the section
is surrounded on all four sides by a
crew of about 100 men, Counters
are stationed on three sides of the
square at strategic intervals and so
that each man can see the counter
on either side of his post.
''Drivers" are stationed at regular
intervals along the fourth side of the
section and work across the entire
section. Four string lines are
stretched at quarter mile intervals
across the entire section in the direc-
ton of the driving line, so that the
drivers do not deviate from their
course, and halfway between the
string lines are blazed lines for the
same purpose.
Count Carefully Made.
Lie LILIES are prepared weeks IN
advance of the date for taking the
count so that normal deer condi-
tons will exist when the count is
made.
AS soon as the drivers begin NOV
ing across the section, the deer begin
running in various directions. But
the counters, stationed on three sides
