A gentleman who has pretty sensitive feel
of economics and who thoroughly understands
the law of supply and demand was in the

the gathering place for hundred or so scribes
before and after the all-star game.

business and he the guest OF someone or otne

Hijacked on Rails
Boy Quits Bunanaing

Notwithstanding" on freight
trains, once rather safe and casual
means Of travel that many youths have
used to adventure over the country is
becoming too tough in the opinion of
Tom woodward, 17-year-old local youth
who had narrowing hijacking expert
ence early this summer. Tom recovered
from the hijacking, but when he and a
companion heard of four murders on
freights, they abandoned another bum
ming tour, begun last week, and re-
turned home. Tales of the murders re-
called and emphasized Toms feeling
when he spent three nights and two
days locked in a box car after having
been slugged and robbed of his money
while enroute to California to visit his
aunt. After hiking by highway to
Glendive, Montana he decided to
change to trains. Climbing into an
open box car about $3.50 one evening,
he felt blow on his head. Upon re-
| gaining consciousness he found he was
locked in and his money, between SIS
ad $40 was gone. Being alone in the
dark, locked car without food or water
for three days is an experience Tom
doesn't care to repeat.

Dynamite fund
TO BE SLAShED
Loans Not Paid and Fund May
Suffer Extinction According
to County Officials.

DiSconcerting news was sent out py
the APA on Friday, to the effect that
the dynamite fund of the county may
be withdrawn owing to its depletion
by the non-payment of loans made for
the explosive. The dispatch said:
ST. Louis county officials said today
that failure of farmers to repay loans
for dynamite, obtained through a
$4,000 county revolving fund, has
slashed the fund materially and may
result in its extinction.
The fund is reported below 5000 &C
cording to state public examiners and
will last little more than year unless
steps are taken to replenish the or
iginal sum.
The county board has been asked TO
take immediate steps to safeguard the
future of the fund, through which
county farmers may borrow for pur-
chase at wholesale prices. The request
was made by John L. Nelson, OF Brook
sion. chairman of the rural educational
planning board.
Principal reason for depletion OF the
fund is failure of farmers either to
repay the amount borrowed, or to work
the sum out on the upkeep of county
roads, permitted under the state act.
The county agents and planning
boards officials are urging county COM
missioners to establish a system under
which farmers could work off the
amount due without delay. Farmers
now must wait until put to work by the
county.

cocks and one hen; the season limit is
ten cocks, or eight cocks and two hens
For quail, the daily limit is six, with
a possession limit of twelve, and a
season limit of eighteen.
Indications point to a shortage of
pheasants in some localities" Commits
sioner Wenzel said. 1.-THE question
naires we sent out in few cases
recommended closed pheasant seasons
for certain counties.
However, We felt it was impractical
to leave a few counties closed in the
southern portion of Minnesota, as it
would tend to concentrate shooting in
the open areas with resultant heavy
toll.''
Wenzel said an open season on grouse
had been recommended for a few
counties, but that it was considered ad-
visable to leave the season closed for
another year to give the birds chance
to recover more fully.
Wenzel emphasized that the pheasant
and quail season were set after taking
the average of recommendations made
by the sportsmens clubs and game
wardens in response to questionnaires
sent out by the department.
Pheasants may be taken in season in
the following counties: Traverse, Grant,
Douglas, Big Stone, Stevens, Pope,
StearnS, Sherburne, Swift, Kandiyohi,
Meeker, Wright, Hennepin, Anoka,
Washington, Lac Qui Parle, Chippewa,
Yellow Medicine, Renville, Mcleod,
Carver, Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood, Brown,
Nicollet, Sibley, LIE Sueur, Scott, Rice,
Dakota, Goodhue, Wabasha, Pipestone
Murray, Cottonwood, Watonwan, Blue
Earth, Waseca, Steele, Dodge, Olmsted,
Winona, Rock, MOBILES, Jackson, Martin,
Faribault, Freeborn, Mower, Fillmore,
Houston.
Quail may be taken in Wabasha,
Olmstead, Winona, Fillmore and Hous-
ton counties, where reasonable supply
was reported and where the division of
game and fish has distributed artifici-
ally propagated quail from the Carlos
Avery game refuge.
