Creameryme1l OF.
This District To
Discuss Labor
Advertising Campaign Also
to be Talked at Meeting
of District IL.

Creamerymen and dairy farmers
of this section will have an opportun-
ity to secure first-hand information
regarding the progress of the pro-
posed national butter advertising
campaign, by attending meeting of
District No. IL of the Minnesota As
ISOLATION of Local Creameries, which
will be held at Long Prairie, Leader
hall, Thursday, October 81, at p. m.
In calling this annual meeting of
the district, Oscar Bergstrom, Little
Falls, president of the district, stated
that arrangements have been made
to secure a representative of the Min
nesota Dairy Industry committee to
discuss the advertising campaign.
The Minnesota Dairy Industry COM
mittee is central organization of all
the dairy associations in the state.
Labor legislation and the labor sit
uation generally will also be dis
cussed. Efforts of Union organizers
to organize cooperative creameries in
Wisconsin have attracted nationwide
attention during the past few months,
and the possibility of the Unions at
tempting to extend their membership
in Minnesota is regarded by dairy
leaders of this state as being by no
means remote.
A general meeting will also be held
by the district, during which officers
will be elected for the ensuing year.

Workers Alliance
Asks For More Aid

Making their appearance before
the Pine County Welfare Board Sat-
urday, several members of the Work.
ers Alliance asked that the 12-months
allowance for relief be given them
during the first six months and re-
quested that the board make efforts
to get optical, dental and medical
aid for those needy persons who
are not now on relief. They also re-
quested that more be placed on the
WPA, if possible.
A group of taxpayers, hearing that
the Workers Alliance delegation was
to appear before the Welfare Board
went to Pine City also and voiced
their sentiments against anything
which would tend to increase taxes
at this time.
The Board took no action on the
requests of the Workers Alliance dele
cation, but made it clear that it was
endeavoring at all times to do as
much as possible for needy families
within the county and that wherever
possible projects were procured SO
that workers on WPA would be close
to home.

the state to sane government, free
from machine control.

Duluth Visitors
Get Greetings In
County Villages
Approximately $50 Ride
Special Train to County
Points Tuesday.

1t is the consensus of opinion of
large number that Duluth people
in general are well aware of the
friendly feeling which exists among
their neighbors to the south, since
Goodwill delegation from the head
of the lakes city made the rounds
Tuesday.
A special train was used by the
delegation and the group which ap-
proximated $50, was accompanied by
band. At the various points visited
they were met by committees, school
children, citizens and bands and a
general round of good fellowship was
enjoyed by both the visitors and the
visited.
When the group came into Askov
at 9:55 a. m. Tuesday, five large,
modern school buses awaited them
and each of these, affording the con-
venience of stewardess and assist
ant stewardess, carried its quota of
visitors to the various places of in
terest in the village where they were
presented with tokens of friendliness.
At the Askov American office they
received welcoming edition printed
especially for them; at the A. Hen
riksen rutabaga house they each re-
ceived a waXed rutabaga in cello
plane sack and at the Ferndale Nurs-
cry they were each given Colorado
spruce. During the period consumed
by the tour of the village the Duluth
band entertained residents who had
by that time gathered on Main street.
After stop of about rs minutes,
the train gathered its human load and
for Sandstone, its next stop.
That village met them with the high
school band and conducted them
about the village. At Hinckley the
Duluth group had lunch and trans
ferred the train to the Northern Paci-
fic railroad to return home via Gron-
ingen, Finlayson, Rutledge, Willow
River and Sturgeon Lake.

Clubs ToAttempt
Removal OF Bill
Boards In Pine
Women Work With High
way Department to Make
Way for Beauty, Scenery.

The committee, annually appointed
by the Pine county federated clubs tc
bend efforts toward a certain project
each year, has chosen for its pro-
ject this year the problem of bill
board removal from the highways
That committee, composed of Mrs
Mary Christensen of Hinckley, Mrs
Glenn Turner of Pine City, and Mrs
Chris. Frederiksen of Askov, me-
Tuesday in Hinckley with other club
members; Harold E. Olson, engineer
of Roadside Development of the State
Highway Department; Mrs. Horace
Thompson of st. Paul, chairman of the
Ramsey County Roadside Beautifica-
ton committee, and her vice chair
man, Mrs. F. E. Voberda, also Of
st. Paul.
The possibility of removal and the
legal aspects of the problem were
discussed and plans were made to
get started on the project. Mrs
Thompson stated that the Ramsey
County Identification committee has
been responsible for the elimination
of bill boards from the highway road
side between White Bear Lake and ST
Paul and that the large advertisers
on bill boards have begun to feel the
ineffectiveness of such advertising
because of growing public sentiment
against it.
The committee will meet again in
the near future and it is possible that
its attention will be concentrated
on the stretch of Highway 81 between
Sandstone and Hinckley. 1t will ask
the cooperation of the Highway de-
partment in widening the shoulders
and improving the slopes preparatory
to planting. The committee asks the
cooperation of all clubs and others in
the county. 1t is suggested that reso-
lutions be passed and presented to
the State Highway Department in a
group.
Information has been received that
through one county in Missouri, bill
boards have been entirely removed
from No. 81.

News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

"The Peace of Munich" of Septem-

efforts, on the part of all who signed
the Czechoslovak partition agreement
to prepare for the war that was
averted 1t is the proper and polite
thing to say that it was averted, but
the correct statement would be that
it has merely been postponed. AS
though waiting for the signal, all the
great powers-the United States in
cluded-took immediate steps to rush
and to increase ornaments, as soon
as it dawned on them that the Mum

Had peace really been put on secure
foundation, it may well be that the
world would have thought the sacri-
flee of Czechoslovakia justified-to

Cattle And Hog
Prices Are Lower
Steers and Yearlings Off;
Hogs Decline lOc to Csc;
Lambs Up Csc.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 10,
1888: Cattle supplies increased with
grassers arriving more freely, but few
grain-feds have been offered this
week, according to the Federal-State
Market News Service Dressed beef
prices declined, partly due to the
influence of new low pork prices,
and this affected slaughter cattle
trade. Fed steers and yearlings are
largely Csc lower for the week. Up
ward to $1,000 was paid for few very
good yearlings. Grass steers bulked
at $3.50 to $3.50, with a scattering
of grain-feds of $500 to $10.5O. Heif-
ers held steady, but there was weak
undertone and little sold above $500,
but no choice yearling heifers are
coming. Cows declined fully Csc,
instances off more. Vealers were
weak, spots soc lower. Bulls held
steady. Stockers and feeders moved
slowly and mostly Csc lower, replace
ment cattle buyers adopting more
conservative attitude, being inclined
to wait for lower laying-in costs.
Dairy cows were generally steady
Hogs continued to decline despite
contraction in receipts as compared
with a week ago. New lows in the
fresh pork market reflected on the
live side and declines of 1Oc to Csc
were enforced here. Top sales on
Monday and Tuesday at SIPS
equalled the lowest mark since early
January 1885. On Tuesday top sales
of $7.25 were restricted to good and
choice $50 to 800 pound weight bar
rows and gifts, the supply of these
incidentally being very negligible.
Sows lost 10c to 15c, selling currently
at $500 down to $3.50.
Sharp expansion in shipper de-
mand for fat lambs resulted in strong
to Csc higher terms, mostly 10c to
Csc higher levels for fat lambs this
week. Other classes sold largely
steady, except yearling breeding ewes
which dropped about SOC. Shippers
took Is loads of choice lambs at
$40 on Monday and loads at
$3.50 on Tuesday. Good and choice
lambs brought $725 to $7.40 on pack
er account Tuesday, Gull and common
lots $3.50 to $5.25, and plain to choice
ewes $3.50 to $500. Good. and choice
white-faced range feeding lambs
brought $500 to $7.25, most natives
and Dakotas $500 to $3.50, a few
plain ightweights $500 to $3.50.
