New Ruling On
Wheat Acreage

A new ruling has been received
in the county from the State Agri-
cultural Conservation committee re-
garding wheat acreage allotments for
1899 which will allow the planting
of up to eight acres of wheat without
penalty. The ruling is as follows:
Wheat acreage allotments will be
established for all farms in accord
ance with existing procedure. For
any farm for which the wheat acre
age allotment is eight acres or less,
as much as eight acres of wheat may
be harvested for grain or hay without
mourning any deductions from any
other payment computed for the farm.
If an acreage in excess of a wheat
acreage allotment of less than eight
acres is planted to wheat, no con-
servation payment will be computed
with respect to the wheat allotment
and such farm will not be eligible to
obtain wheat price adjustment pay
ment. In such instances, the wheat
acreage allotment will be considered
as part of the general acreage allot-
ment in computing the maximum
payment for the farm and any acre
age planted to wheat and not cut for
grain or hay will not be classified
as wheat.
Deductions will be made for any
acreage classified as wheat which is
in excess of the wheat acreage allot-
ment, or of eight acres, whichever is
larger.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Konrad Henlein, leader of the ma
tional-socialistic Sudeten Germans ir
Czecho-Slovakia, has been caller
at the summer home of Adolf Hitler
at Berchtesgaden where he discussed
the various ramifcations of the min
critics problem with the chief ex-
ecutive of Germany. 1t was feared
for a while that Hitler would tel
Henlein to remain absolutely adamant
in regard to the Sudeten German de-
mands for political home rule, and
that such an attitude might result in
armed conflict.
At the same time Sir Neville Hen
derson, British ambassador to Ger
many, conferred with Foreign Min
lister Joachim Won Ribbentrop and
conveyed to him the decision of the
British government that in case OF
German aggression against Czecho-
Slovakia, Great Britain would surely
line up with France against Germany
Toning Down.
AS things developed, Hitler and
Henlein did not agree to present ar
ultimatum to the Prague government
they had seen the writing on the
wall, and had correctly perceived
that if they did not relent, Ger
many would be faced with active
hostility from many sources, first OF
all from England and France; as fol-
Soviet Russia, there was still some
doubt, but that was dispelled early
this week when Foreign Minister
Maxim Litvinov made it clear that
his country without hesitation would
join the others in movement to
prevent Germany from attacking OF
even conquering -Slovakia
that meant, in other words, that il
Hitler started a war against Czecho-
Slovakia, he would have to fight not
only that country but also Great
Britain, France and Soviet Russia
possibly Roumania and Yugoslavia
too-with Poland as potential ene-
my in spite of the Polish German
non-aggression treaty.
So, instead of presenting demands
which the Prague government could
not accept without loss of prestige
and sacrifice of national pride, Hen
lein, amply backed by Hitler, sug-
gested that new conferences concern
ing the minorities issue take place
To this the o-Slovakian gov
eminent agreed. In effect, then, the
door was left open for a renewed
consideration of the vexing question
and the war danger passed, at least
for the moment. What apparently
determined this temporary exit from
the maze of difficulties was Russia's
suddenly firm stand. Until this week
the Moscow attitude had been but
vaguely limited at and although there
was a pretty clear indication that
Moscow might move in conjunction
with London and Paris, the precise
word to that effect had not been said.
1t has now, and the result is a new
breathing spell.

The Goth annual Community Fail

tanned at this time, the event Ger.
tainly exceeds the hopes of the com.

County Baseball
Teams Still Hold
The Spotlight
Rutledge Advances in the
State; Sturgeon Wins and
Willow Beats Oldtimers.

With the regular playing season
over three Pine county teams con-
tinue to exercise their ability in the
national pastime of baseball. Rut-
ledge, who won the Pine County Base
ball League championship, defeated
Cambridge Sunday at that place to
advance into the finals of the regional
tournament. The score of the game
was to and Schmidt for Rutledge,
allowed but three hits while strik-
ing out 10. The Rutledge team on
next Sunday will play Nowthen for
the right to enter the state tourna-
ment at Shakopee.
Sturgeon Wins.
In the first game of the playoff
series for the Skog trophy, Sturgeon
Lake, who this year competed in the
Head O'Lakes League, defeated Clo-
quet to 8. Cunningham, pitching
for Sturgeon Lake, allowed but five
hits and struck out seven while his
teammates were getting 10 hits off
the opposing pitcher.
Oldtimers Team NOsed Out.
The Willow River regular baseball
team defeated the Oldtimers Sunday
in a contest at that place by a score
of 6 to s. The latter team, made up
of players who took part in baseball
contests in the county from few to
several years ago, played errorless
ball and outhit their opponents to
6, but couldn't hold the regulars from
getting one run in each of the last
two innings.
However, the Oldtimers still think
they are good enough to beat the
Willow River team and have chal-
lenged them to another game to be
played on the Willow River fair day
Saturday, September II.
Following are the box scores of the
three games:

lage.
The ground work for the new sta
ton was laid several months ago I'M
der the leadership of Theodore Hag-
strom, who during the process of or
ganization, was stricken with fatal
illness. Since that time the work has
been carried on by other people there
and the required amount of stock
and number of members were OBJ
tanned. While the plant will not be
entirely completed for week or 10
days, full service will be made avail
able to all.
The construction of a modern type
building has been done by Rostberg
& Carlson, local firm and the pumps
will be of the latest design. Handy
access will be afforded to the station
through its adjacent location to the
tarviated loop road from the pave
ment into the village.
A letter sent out by the board of
directors of the Association invites
everyone to make use of the service
and their patronage will not only be
a means of livelihood of some local
residents, but patronage dividends
are paid on purchases.

International News Review

The fact that Hitler in addressing
the MISUNDERSTANDING party con-
gress at Nuremberg deemed it pru-
dent to refrain from extremist state
ments in connection with the Czecho-
Slovakian situation, has also added
to the reassuring feeling that, at least
for the present, the war scare is kept
in allegiance.
British Pressure.
Much has been made of British pol
icy in connection with the Central
European troubles. When Austria
was bloodlessly-or almost so-an-
nexed by Germany, Great Britain was
under treaty obligation to object and
did so but merely as matter of
formality-and after the annexation
had become an accomplished fact,
rather than before that momentous
event.
It then developed that the British
government was willing to 60 far
out of its way to please Germany,
for German participation in the build
ing up of European peace machin-
cry was an important detail in the
British plans For this reason, the
British tacitly aligned themselves
with Hitler in asking the Czecho-
Slovakian government to 60 as far as
it possibly could in satisfying the
home-rule demands of the Sudeten
Germans, and Lord Walter Runci-
man was sent to Prague as repre-
sentative of the British government
to see that Czech concessions be
made comprehensive. Point by point
the Czechs retreated, and promised
all kinds of privileges to the Sudeten
Germans, insisting, however, that the
national unity of Czecho-Slovakia
must not be impaired, its political
independence must not be interfered
with. 1t did not want state with
in the state but was willing to re-
spect all reasonable demands for Ger
man share in local government in
districts where the German element
was predominating And it is at this
point that the negotiations have now
been left hanging in the ART is
from this point that they will proceed
when resumed, that resumption being
distinct victory for German diplo-
macy and-may one venture to say
it?-for British.
Italian Persecution.
Mussolini's government in Rome
has considered the Czecho-S lovakian
crisis as something of chiefly remote
interest to Italy; there has been a
rumor-still unconfrmed-to the eff
feet that in case Germany went to
war against Czecho-Slovakia, Hitler
might not expect any active aid from
Mussolini, and that factor may have
something to do with the German
"Fuehrer's" willingness to continue
discussion, for he realized that with
a host of nations against him and
none-not even Italy - supporting
him, he would jeopardize Germany's
and his own future.
But Italy had problems of its own
