One g. n. Train
In New Schedule
Southbound Morning Pas
senger Will Arrive Twen-
ty.fve Minutes Earlier.

The schedule of the Great North
ern's morning local train from Du-
luth to the Twin Cities will be moved
ahead 25 minutes beginning Sunday,
July ID, in order to afford connec-
tons with the fast early afternoon
train to Chicago.
The train will run through to St.
Paul, instead of laying over at Mime
apolis as it has been doing.
The morning train, which recently
was modernized and ir-conditioned,
will leave Duluth at o'clock; ar
rive at Minneapolis at 1915 p. m,
and st. Paul at 12:45 p. M, Is minutes
before the departure of the fast train
to Chicago.
The Northern Navigation Com
pany's steamers are advancing their
schedules so as to arrive at Duluth
at 7:30 a. m, to connect with the
morning train to the Twin Cities.
The train, therefore, should arrive
at Askov at 9:43 a. m. instead of at
1908 as at present. This same diff
ference will hold true at various
county points.

Railroad and Warehouse
BOdY's Duties Are Varied

of the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission is the Grain Inspection and
Weighing This department employs
on the average approximately 225
men and women.
At the time the department was
established there was considerable
feeling of discomfort between the pro-
ducer and the buyer of grain. The
weights and grades used were those
given out by the purchaser, and the
result was not satisfactory to the
grain grower.
The Grain Inspection and Weigh
ing Department set up in 1885 is
recognized today as one of the finest,
if not the best, grain inspection de-
partments anywhere. The men who
sample are skilled workmen. They
must be thoroughly capable, for if
not, and an unfair sample of grain
was given out, the whole department
would fail to function properly.

When the sample arrives in the

Body Does Well
Secretary H. E. Cragun
Announces That SIS
Members are Enrolled.

Membership in the Pine City Pro-
duction Credit Association was SIS
on May 81, this year, and its aver
age outstanding monthly volume of
loans was $4,000 for the preceding
months, according to H. E. Cragun,
secretary, who attended the two-day
conference of secretaries and direc-
tors of II associations that met at
st. Paul July and Z to plan for a
further extension of service and
greater volume of loans to farmers
during next year.
The st. Paul conference included
eight Minnesota and three Wiscon-
sin production credit associations
whose directors and officers gathered
from contiguous territory to compare
notes and lay plans, including plans
for the next series on annual stock
holders meetings. The average
monthly outstanding volume of loans
for this group of associations was
S165,000, ranging from $4,000 to
1911, 900. The average loan for the
Pine City members was $500, the
average for the group being $481 per
member.
AS members pay up their loans in
full they have the option of retain
ing their capital stock in the associa-
ton Gas every farmer who borrows
becomes a stockholder) or of turning
in their stock for sale. Mr.. Cragun
said that as farmers have come to
realize they can dispose of their stock
if they wish to, but that the associa-
ton is permanent institution, more
and more of them keep their shares
even after paying up their loans, and
that AZ per cent of the Pine City
association members have kept their
stock.
Women have also become interested
in the association in the past two
years and at the last annual meet
ing large number of wives attended
with their husbands.
The Pine City association includes
st. Louis, Lake, Cook, Carlton, Pine,
Kanabec, Isanti and Chisago coun-
ties.

Hundreds of Miles Bring
Little But Heartaches to
Tourists of Prairies.

The following impression was
gained and is set into print by
A. w. Conway, managing editor
of the Askov American, who, with
his family, recently visited and
travelled through both North and
South Dakota:
Leaving the pretty state of Min
nesota at its western boundary
Grand Forks, we entered the
plains of the DakotaS with appre-
hension as to what was in store for
us. For the first three days during
which time we visited in our old
stamping ground" the weather was
fine with adequate moisture and good
crop prospects, but when . when
we neared the Missouri river region
at Bismarck things were different.
Going in a southwesterly direction
the traveller finds that vegetation is
getting more sparse, farm homes wild
er spaced and towns farther apart. 1t
does not take long for one to grasp
the APPALLING fact that the land of the
happy and contented is being left
behind; nothing but desolation and
is in front.

Commissioners COllabOrdte
in Setting Forth InfOrma-
ton Regarding Work.

By Commissioners Harold r. Atwood,
Chas. Mum and Hjalmar Petersen.
The Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission of the State of Minnesota
had its beginning in 1871 when the
Legislature created the office of Rail-
road Commissioner. His duties, how
ever, were solely advisory, and he
was empowered only to make study
of abuses by the railroads and re-
port to the Governor and the Leg
iSlature.
In 1874 a Commission of three
members was created. These Com
missioners were to be appointed by
the Governor and were vested with
extensive powers. This law proved
so drastic, however, that it was re-
pealed the very next year, and a
single Commissioner with limited
powers had supervision over the rail-
roads until 1885.
In 1885 the Legislature again in
creased the Commission to three men,
berS and at the same time created
the Grain Inspection and Weighing
department. In 1899 the Legislature
provided for the election of the three

School Elections
Set For July 20

Annual school meetings in Min
nesota will be held July 20, the
third Tuesday of the month, when
common and independent districts
must vote starting at 7:30 p. M,
unless the time is changed at a
previous meeting of the school
board.
The law requires that school dis
trict clerks shall post notices of the
annual meeting at least 10 days be-
fore and the ballot box must re-
main open at least one hour.
Every one wants the highest
standards in education, but they
do not generally want to bother
about attending the meetings, it
is seen by past attendance at school
meetings. However, it is one of
the most important businesses in
the community and good attend
ance is invited and urged by each
board of education.

City look difficult on Sunday when
the final inning of the game was
needed to decide the winner. The
result of the game caused many
throughout the county to take closer
observation of the county seat team
when it held the first half champions
to 13 to IL score.
Sturgeon Lake made Moose Lake
content with a lower pace in the
standings when it defeated the north
ern boys 16 to and Denham turned
against its foes with vengeance and
defeated Willow River 81 to 13. The
boys from the northwestern part of
the county garnered 81 hits to win
while the Willow lads were getting

seven errors.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

There have been wars and rumors
Of war lately; in fact, the interna-
tional atmosphere has been charged
with them as if with high-tension
electricity, and it is too venturesome
to prophesy what may develop-in
fact, the situation is so volatile and
unstable that it actually undergoes
changes from day to day.
In Europe, the Spanish civil war
still holds the center of interest, and
there are possibilities that it may still
cause danger, for the great powers
continue to disagree as to policy:
Germany and Italy persist in their
refusal to participate in the non-in-
PREVENTION patrol service along the
Spanish coasts; France and Great
Britain demand that the fascist pow
ers must line up with themselves
again, and then new friction threat
ems to bring in further disturbance,
for the French government, impatient
with British languor, has practically
declared that it will act independ-
emily of London and, possibly, step
into Spain to aid the Valencia gov
eminent against Francisco Francois
rebel armies.
Carnage.
AS to the civil war itself, it seems
to have entered period of new vio-
lence, for ferocious fighting has been
taking place at points near Madrid
whose defenders have tried to drive
the rebels back to their base of OPP
erations. This fighting is said to have
cost $4,000 lives; altogether, various

The semi-annual meeting of the
Pine Coop Oil Association will be
held in the Askov D. B. S. hall Sat-
urday night, July "a, at o'clock
and it is expected to draw a large
crowd of patrons and shareholders.
That it will be an interesting as well
as instructive meeting is assured by
the announcement that Glenn Thomp-
son, educational director of Midland
Cooperative Wholesale, will be pres
ent as speaker
Mr.. Thompson's short appearance
before the annual meeting crowd the
first of the year prompted the board
to secure his services for the semi
annual event. His talk is sure to be
of interest to cooperators as well as
others.
Besides Mr.. Thompson'S talk it is
planned by the board of directors
of the association to conduct a gen.
eral discussion of the progress and
conduct of the associations business.
One or two entertainment numbers
will be presented and lunch will be
served at the close of the meeting.
The semi-annual meeting has been
called pursuant to decision by the
annual meeting to authorize the board
of directors to call such meeting
in July, the date to be set as con-
venient. An evening meeting was
decided upon so as to afford oppor-
tunity for farmers and others to at
tend. Everyone is invited.
