Fishermen Await
Opening OF Bass,
Graphic Season
June Fl is Date When All
Species of Fish May be
Taken Legally.

Anglers in this section of the state
the northern Zone-anXiously await
the opening of the crappie, bass and
sunfish season on Monday, June 81
Fishing of these pesky things have
been good during the past several
days, but of course they had to be
returned to their habitat by the
disappointed angler who had to be
content to string along with the
pickerel and pike. Crappies and bass
in Sturgeon lake and other nearby
lakes, just won't stay off the hook
when it isn't their time to be caught
but it is opined by several fishermen
that they will possibly be more wary
when the law sanctions their taking
The northern zone lies north of an
imaginary line running from Browns
Valley in the west, through ST. Cloud
and Cambridge, and to the eastern
state line.
The daily limit for crappies is Is,
with 25 permitted in possession; for
black, striped, yellow, silver and gray
bass the daily limit is six, with IL
permitted in possession. For sunfish,
rock bass, and other fish not men,
toned specifically in the law the
daily limit, for mixed catch, is Is,
with 80 permitted in possession. The
same limit applies to a catch consist
ing of sunfish alone.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

AS reported last week, distin-
guished German was the guest OF
Prime Minister Benito Mussolini OF
Italy the other day-namely, War
Minister Werner Won Blomberg
While it appears that no formal
treaty of any kind was drawn up as
a result of the conferences between
the two men, it was made perfectly
clear that they have common objec-
tives land perhaps it is in their light
that one must accept story to the
effect that within the last week or
so seventy-one railroad cars, in tran
sit from Germany to Italy, passed
through Austria-laden with arms and
munitions. Whether this cargo is to
be forwarded to Spain, or is to form
the nucleus of German naval basis
at Naples Gas has been suggested
in order to support the operations OF
German warships in the Mediter-
ranean Sea, is a matter of specula-
ton.
But Won Blomberg was not the only
distinguished German traveling-his
colleague, Foreign Minister Konstan-
tin Won Neurath, also paid visits
abroad; he was at Belgrade, at Sofia
and at Budapest, and while the Ber-
lin government insisted that it was
merely a matter of courtesy visits
there is every reason to believe they
had more serious goals, for it is in
line with Germany's present foreign
policy to secure active cooperation OF
statesmen in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and

many delegates was the best annual
affair so far held in the 10 years OF
Midland'S existence.
The meeting marked the 10th an
niversary of the organization, which
now includes over 100 member CO.
operatives in the two states. Its sales
volume in 1886 was over three mil
lion dollars upon which the net earn
ingS were ST., 574, considerable part
of which the annual meeting decided
to pay to the local member aSSocia-
tons in common and preferred stock.
Two changes were made in the

Princeton, was elected to take the
place of John Vandermyde of Mora,

Speaker Tells of Europe.
The principal speaker was Jacob
Baker, who is assistant administrator
of the WPA under Harry Hopkins.
He was chairman of the commission
which President Roosevelt recently
sent to Europe to study cooperative
enterprise there. Mr.. Baker reported
on his observations of cooperatives
in Europe and made application of
his conclusions to the problems of
cooperative development in this coun-
try. He declared that Midland is
unusually significant in view of the
fact that it has developed coopera-
tive associations according to Roch-
dale principles among both agricul-
tural and city people and has built
up in the short space of 10 years a
strong financial structure entirely out
of the savings made through the op-
erations Of the business.
Other speakers at the three-day
meeting were Governor Elmer A
Benson of Minnesota, who addressed
the annual rally held at the West
hotel, June 6, complimenting Mid
land on taking the lead in coopera-
tive development in this part of the
country, and Mrs. Elsie Olsen of the
Educational department of the Con-
sumers Cooperative Association of
North Kansas City, Missouri.

other meeting has been called for
Monday night, June %, in the same
place, and for the same purpose.

Black Gopher Called
"Jeep'' BY Capturers

If you are a follower of Popeye's
troubles you are perfectly familiar
with the word "Jeep" even if the
animal itself has you somewhat
puzzled. However, Bill Fruin and
Bernard Aakre of Granite Falls,
solved the question to their own
satisfaction by capturing what they
are sure is a ''jeep" near the Pres
tegard farm in Minnesota Falls
township. Its capture was no small
matter and took something like
four days together with untold
quantities of water. AS exhibited
by the capturers in a wire covered
box, the "jeep" has all the ear
marks of gopher except that his
color is a solid black-and who
ever heard of black gopher?

Fish Thrive In The
Tall MeadO,U Grasses

Pine River (not this county,
fishermen, one morning deserted
the river to catch their fish by
hand from a nearby meadow,
where hundreds of the finny
tribe lurked in the tall grass.
Sounds fishy, but it's true. Con-
tinued rains caused Norway brook
to overflow its east bank above
the dam, forming good-sized
stream. Heavy winter SHOWS and
the wet spring season have kept
the water level unusually high.
