tunes are indeed appropriate, for the
debutantes are, of course, the honor
guests of the evening. This ball might
well be called gardenia fete, with the
debutanteS all in becoming white
gowns wearing garlands of fragrant
gardenias in their powdered hair.
Romance could find no more fitting
setting than at this charming ball
for, as the clever lighting arrangement
throws realistic moonlight glow on
the debutanteS and their escorts in
formal evening dress, the picture is
| indeed one that delights the eyes. The

| There will be prizes for the couple
doing the best big-apple dance, apples
will appear prominently on the menu,
including fried apples, apple cider and
candied apples on sticks. We would
not be one bit surprised if some of the
guests did not try to make themselves
look like apples, for every one is re-
| Quested to wear costumes, and there
will be prizes for the couple acclaimed
the best" dressed for the occasion.
The dance will be held October 80 and
is one of the first parties given for the
debutantes of the season. The host

Wild Life Need
Feed to Survive
Winter Period

Forest Ranger P. w. Swedberg of
Moose Lake, in charge of this dis
trict, submits the following communi-
cation which he received recently
from H. H. Miexner, a resident in
the Sturgeon Lake community, in re-
CARDS to feeding pheasants.
There are about eight CT inese
pheasants wintering in and around
my yard and Herbert Oswald's yard.
They divide up their time between
two farms. l feed them what little
l can. The winter is hard on the
little feathered folks and they should
have a humane heart and hand ex-
tended to help them through this
hard stretch of cold weather and deep
snow. Can you see your way and
send out some wheat?
Il myself do not hunt but it is a
pleasure to have a beautiful bird
around, for other purposes, leaving
out the sportsman side"
Mr.. Swedberg adds lit is quite evil
dent that our feathered wild life is
having a hard time existing during
this cold and snowy weather. espe-
cially with the ground covered with
ice in some places"

PINE CITY WILL
HAVE COOP OIL
New Cooperative Undertaking VIII
be Capitalized at $1,000
With $40 Shares.

A cooperative oil association was
formed at the county seat Monday
when articles of incorporation were
drawn up. The new concern will be
known as the Pine City Coop Oil As
ISOLATION and the following were
named as its first board of directors:
Richard Downing, Anton M. Karas,
Adolph WanOus, Beauford Johnson,
liver Stumne, o. r. Dickson and Art
Peterson.
At the organization meeting of the
board Anton M. Karas was elected

Oil associations throughout the
country of which the Pine Coop Oil
Association is an example, have
seemed to thrive during the past few
years and according to statements
made by leaders in the movement,
the movement is rapidly spreading
to offset what is felt to be an unjust
monopoly on commodity which is in
general use.

COUNTY TAX
RATES ISSUED
County Treasurer Frank
POferl Issues Annual
Levy Scale.
Total Mill Rates of Sub
divisions are Generally
Higher.

The county tax rates have just been
announced by County Treasurer Frank
Poferl and show that approximately
two-thirds of the various subdivisions
in the county have higher total mill
rate, whereas one-third show de-
crease. In the case of setting the
mill rate, in many cases it is raised
and lowered not altogether by more
or less expenditures, but also by high
er or lower assessed valuation.
In looking over the rates it is seen
that the dissolved township of Belden
which last year showed a mill rate of
from SO3.41 mills to 953.72 mills, now
shows a rate considerably lower in
amounts ranging from 1851 to 1881
mills. This decrease in total mill
rate has been brought about through
getting an extension on the state loan
and the levy is made simply to pay
the interest charges.
1t is also seen that the county rate
this year is 1923 mills as compared
to 2S.15 mills last year. This in
crease is brought about by additional
expenses. such as old age pension and
relief payments, which the county has
been called upon to make.
Following are the tax rates which
will be in effect this year:

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Although the Spanish civil war and
its qualifications still attract general
attention, the spotlight during the
last few days has been switched
across the Mediterranean Sea to Mo
rocco, for France has discovered, and
claims possessing proofs, that heavy
German military concentration is TAX
ing place in Spanish Morocco; this,
it is held, is a fragrant violation of
the Franco-Spanish treaty of 1912 ac-
cOrding to which neither France nor
Spain may station foreign troops in
any part of Morocco.
The alleged German concentration,
it is charged, has for its purpose the
giving of support to Insurgent Gen.
eral Francisco Franco, but from his
Headquarters comes word that the.e
are no German soldiers in Spanish
Morocco. France has chosen not to
believe that statement and has pre-
sented a vigorous demand for the i'm
mediate removal of the supposed
troops. To lend emphasis to the de-
mand, thirty-four French warships
have been sent to the waters immed-
lately north of Morocco, and there, too,
a very large part of the British Home
Fleet is gathering.
Problem OF Volunteers.
1t is not wholly because of possible
Morocco devel pments that the mighty
squadrons have been sent to the
Mediterranean, but also, it is under
stood, to try to curtail the influx of
foreign volunteers into Spain. For
this problem is becoming a serious
one. The other day Great Britain
and France asked Germany and Italy
to keep their volunteer fighters at
home, and Immediately Berlin and
Rome replied they would be glad to
compton condition that all other
powers bind themselves by similar
obligations.
To this rejoinder Great Britain and
France have said nothing, but it is
understood that they are trying to
apply quiet, but insistent, pressure on
the two Fascist powers, and drastic
steps have already been taken to pre-
vent BritOns and Frenchmen from en-
listing under the colors of the legit-
imist Spanish government. 1t also
is said that Hitler and Mussolini are
likely to listen to the expressions of
fear that continued participation in
the Spanish civil war may call forth
a new international war.
Someone aptly has described the
Spanish crisis as nothing less than
a small world war;" for nationals
of twelve countries are taking part
in the civil war, on opposite sides.
