by Starkey.

More than 5000 employers re-
sponded with reports and contribu-
tons during the first week of the
Minnesota Unemployment Compen-
sation division statewide drive to
eliminate delinquencies for the first
quarter of this year.

said that the contributions received
from the employers covered approx
imately $4,000 employees. The con-
tributions included penalty at the
rate of one per cent per month from
June l.
Commissioner Starkey urged all
employers of one or more persons to
send in reports and contributions i'm
mediately if they have not already
reported for the first quarter, to avoid
additional interest penalty. He also
pointed out that second quarter re-
ports and contributions are due in
full by July 81
The commissioner advised all re-
porting employers to fill out in detail
their forms, to make possible the &C
curate crediting of their accounts
and to assure their employees full
credit in the event of unemployment
after January /, 1888, when benefits
will be paid to eligible persons.

Shot Developed To
Check Poisoning

Research at the University of Min
nesota on the problem of lead poison
ing among ducks indicates that the
disease can be successfully combated
by the use of disintegrable lead alloy
shot, according to DR.. Ralph Dowdell
and DR.. R. G. Green, who are in
charge of the work.
'The principle underlying the use
of the alloy shot is that it will be
in the mud of lakes and
streams by the action of the water,
thus making the lead inaccessible to
feeding ducks" DR.. Green stated.
''Inasmuch as the alloy shot can
not be manufactured by the use of
the shot towers now employed COM
mechanical shot rolling
mill is being developed which will
produce true round shot"
Research work on lead poisoning
is being financed jointly by the State
Division of Game and Fish, the Uni
versity of Minnesota, and the United
States Bureau of Biological Survey.

Pine City, will be held Sunday, July
18. An all-day affair is planned, and
visitors from near and far are eX-

The Sokol camp picnics in the past

purchased a large "booya" kettle to
enable it to serve plenty of this
delicious picnic dish. Other usual
refreshments will be served.
The Pine City ladies will put on
an exceptionally attractive Sokol
drill which met with much favor
when shown in Minneapolis last
spring. The mass calisthenic drill
as presented at the Sokol Slet in
Chicago on June 20, will also be
shown.
Then of course there will be races,
games, community singing, old time
music and other attractions to please
everyone. All are invited to attend.

Turn Lights Or Face
Court, Patrol Order

Automobile and truck drivers
throughout Minnesota were warned
this week to dim or depress their
within not less than 500
feet of an approaching vehicle, or
suffer the penalty under the new state
Highway Traffic Regulation act.
Instructions were issued to high
way patrolmen by Chief John P.
Arnoldy to first make every effort to
carry on a continued campaign of
strict enforcement of the new law
against every driver who fails to COM
ply with it in this respect.
Speed and insufficient visibility,
in other words, over driving the head
lights, has been a common cause of
night accidents in the past. Glaring
headlights too have added to the ac-
cident TOLL comments the memo
which launched the new safety cam
paign.
The new traffic act requires that
headlights with an upper and lower
beam be so arranged that upper
beams provide visibility at least $50
feet ahead. This is sufficient for
night driving, experts assert, giving
the motorist ample time to stop or
swerve to avoid distractions or col
lisions. These lights, however, are
too intensely bright to be faced with
comfort of safety by an approaching
driver. Therefore, the motorist is
required to lower his beam or dim
his lights at least 500 feet from a
vehicle he is about to meet.

MRS Will Help
In Directing OF
Labor
Farmers Here are Urged to
Make Needs Known as
Soon as Possible.

A heavy demand for harvest hands
is expected by the National Reem-
ployment Service, reports Clinton R.
Boo, manager of the District office
at Pine City. Prospects for bumper
crop in Minnesota are the best they
have been in several years, according
to latest reports.
Already many farmers have in
formed the employment service that
they will need men when the harvest
season opens. Indications are that a
shortage of available local workers
will exist in some sections of the state,
a situation which the network of Ma
tional Unemployment offices through
out the state will try to meet through
cooperative arrangement whereby
workers will be directed to localities
where the supply is inadequate.
Farmers are urged to make their
needs known to the National Reem-
ployment office at once" says Mr.
Boo. eff we are informed as to the
number of men needed we can anti
cipate the starting date and make
an effort to have men available.
"But harvest hands are not the only
type of labor that can be furnished
by the National Unemployment Serv-
ice," says Mr.. Boo During four
weeks of June our 26 offices through
out the state placed 1888 persons in
wide variety of jobs, 2,919 of them
in private employment. These figures
were made available early this week
by Dreng Bjornaraa of st. Paul, our
state director

Many Attend The
Big Celebration
At Moose Lake
Parade, Band Music, Good
Sports, and Speaker is
Big Drawing Card.

With two days of independence day
celebration this year, nearly every
able-bodied man and woman was out
to commemorate the great historical
event. 1t was big weekend with
gayety, hilarity and good fellowship
on all sides. The patriots of 161 years
ago when the Declaration of indie
pendence was adopted and signed
could hardly have enjoyed the occa-
sion any more than did the folks of
today.
AS has been the custom for many
years, Moose Lake celebrated indie
pendence day again this year, their
celebration taking place on Monday,
the fifth, drawing people from a
radius of Is miles. They had the
usual good turnout of several thou
sand people. Their local band gave
a concert in the forenoon and headed
the parade to the pavilion where the
address of the day was given by for
mer Governor Hjalmar Petersen.
Prior to the address, there was the
flag raising exercises, and the speak,
er was introduced by Attorney L. H.
Blackjack, long time resident of the
Moose Lake community. Petersen's
address is published elsewhere in an
other column.
Picnic Dinners Enjoyed.
The park on the east side of the
village next to the beautiful cool lake,
provides a good place for picnickers
and many were the families who
enjoyed picnic dinners under the
shade trees. The usual program of
sports with the various races took
place early in the afternoon. There
was dancing in the pavilion, more
music by the local band and a good
display of fireworks in the evening.
The baseball game between Moose
Lake and Kettle River in the after
noon was a closely contested affair.
1t was anybody's game up to the
last minute, for Moose Lake with its
last bat had two men on bases with
no outs, but failed to score. A home
run with the two men on bases would
have tied the score, but that eagerly
looked-for thrill did not occur. The
final check-up was to 2 in favor of
Kettle River.
Good Pitching and Fielding.
Two home runs were made by
Kettle River batters, but on both
occasions there were no runners on
base. The battery of Albin Peterson
and Rudy Anderson did good work
for Moose Lake, but their teammates
failed to connect with the ball at their
turn to bat, sufficiently to pile up
the higher score. Ray Winquist, the
southpaw hurler from Kettle River,
was almost invincible. He had an
indrop that puzzled the Moose Lake
batters. He was given good support
and cooperation by his catcher, Sandy
Wheeler That both pitchers did we'll
is indicated by the fact that only
one base on balls was issued through
out the entire game, and the score
held down. Several spectacular
catches were made in the field and
but few errors were recorded All
in all, it was good grade of base
ball dished up by the rival teams
from Moose Lake and Kettle River.
The fans thoroughly enjoyed the ma
tional paStime.
