Upland Game Must
Be Used By Jan. 10

All upland game birds, that is
pheasants and quail that were legally
taken and have been kept under the
conservation department retaining
permit, must be consumed by jan
uary 10, according to Director Harry
E. Speakes, division of game and fish
Venison, if properly tagged, may
be kept until February %, but must
be consumed by that date. Any up
land game birds, or venison held after
the dates specified are illegal, and
subject to seizure, and the holder may
be prosecuted under the law
The Federal regulations required
that waterfowl might be held only
ten days after the close of the sea-
son, or until November "a. While
these regulations are plainly set forth
in the license regulations and law
summaries furnished with licenses, a
number of arrests have been made
by game wardens for illegal posses
sion of waterfowl after November "a,
according to Speakes. The state divis-
ion of game and fish is extending full
cooperation to the Federal govern
ment in the enforcement of water
fowl and migratory bird laws.

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

internationally, the ship of events
usually at this time of the year sails
into the doldrums, and some of the
major issues lie dormant while dip
lomats prepare for their own cele-
bration of the Christmas holidays
From one viewpoint, it might be
wished that diplomacy would always
remain at the pre-holiday stage.
However, the fact that a quietus
is put upon some of the issues by no
means can be taken as an indica-
ton that they are dead and forgotten;
to the contrary, they are alive to the
extent that much of what has hap
pened recently will bear fruit, good
or evil, during the year to come.
One hears but little right now
about Germany's ambitions in regard
to the Memel district which less than
two weeks ago voted so overwhelm-
ingly German. A sudden move, may
hap soon, is likely to result in Hitler
occupying the city and its environs,
and he will be far more justified in
doing so than in annexing Austria
and parts of Czechoslovakia, for the
Memel region is one that was liter
ally carved out of Germany proper.
Seemingly, the Italian claims for
the ceding of French Tunis have been
silenced. But that is but temporary
muteness. Whenever the time seems
ripe and right, Mussolini will revive
his demand, and, during the last few
days it has been quite strongly said
by responsible men in the French

Short Illness and Death of
''Jimmie'' Hogan Shocks
Community.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. P
Hogan and the entire Kerrick COM
munity was shocked and saddened
Friday night when it was learned that
Jimmie" Hogan had passed away
at the University hospital in Mime
apolis, where he had undergone an
operation. He had not been well for
a month or more but was confined
to his home only about two weeks.
He was first taken to the Moose Lake
hospital but later, on advice of the
doctor, was taken to the University
hospital where he was operated on
for what was thought to be brain
tumor. No tumor was found and
to date the exact cause of his death
is not known.
James Mathew Hogan was born,
the youngest son of MIR. and Mrs. W.
P. Hogan at Kerrick on February IL,
1922 He spent his early years of
education in the Kerrick school and
later went to the Bruno high school.
He was active in athletics, having
played basketball and baseball with
much ability. His disposition was
always sunny and he was loved by
practically everyone he came in con-
tact with.
Funeral services were held from
st. MichaelS church in Kerrick Mon
day morning with Father Hayes cele-
brating Mass. He was buried in the
family lot in ST. Michaels cemetery
with Gerald Fuhrmann, Svend Chris
Jensen, Raymond Klein, Jack Peter
son, Jerry Christensen and Edward
Schumacher carrying the body to its
last resting place.

Timber Gutter Is
Fined By Tomhave

Melvin Roberts of Barry township,
southeast of Sandstone, was brought
before Justice Tomhave recently by
District Ranger R. E. Ballantine. Mr..
Roberts pleaded guilty to the charge
of failure to report cuttings. He was
fined $25 and costs of $3.50; SIS of
the fine was suspended if payment
could be arranged at once.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing among rural residents as to
the necessity of reporting their cut
ting of fuel wood as well as other
forest products to State Forester, ST..
Paul, before the cutting operations
are started This does not apply to
any person cutting cordwood or other
fuel upon his own land or in cutting
timber for clearing any land actually
owned and occupied by him.
There is no charge for this service.

Smaller Supply
Boosts Cattle
Demand not Broad Due to
Expected Holiday Lull;
Hogs Up; Lambs Down.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. Is, 1888:
Supplies of cattle at South ST. Paul
ran below last weeks volume and
sellers were able to direct prices up
ward on most slaughter classes. Kill
err demand remained narrow, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market News
Service, due in part to the approach
ing holidays, and the sluggish condi-
ton of the dressed beef trade. Hence
advances in price were built mostly
in receipt contraction, but livelier
demand for cattle from eastern points
suggests that a healthier undertone
is developing in the trade at present.
Steers, yearlings and slaughter she
stock ranged steady to Csc higher than
last weeks close, with steers and
yearlings generally showing the max
imum upturn. Medium to good steers
usually showing a go to 100 day turn
in the feed lot, cashed at $3.50 to
$3.50, while plain to good heifers made
$500 to $500. Plain to good beef
cows cashed at $500 to $500, with
low cutters and cutters $3.75 to $4.75.
Steady prices were reported for veal
ers and bulls. Stockers and feeders
sold fully steady, good feeder steers
$3.50 to $825, with steer calves up
to $500. Bulk common to medium
native stockers made $500 to $500.
Dairy cows were scarce and mostly
steady.
A rather sharp uprush in prices
for light hogs and light lights was
partially erased Tuesday, but cur
rent values still showed an uneven
upturn as compared with the close
of last week. Barrows and gifts seal
ing 200 pounds down were 1Oc to 15c
higher, with weights above 200 pounds
steady to 10c up. SoWs finished
steady to strong. On Monday choice
light lights hit $3.50, but Tuesdays
top fell to $7.35. Heavy butchers
sold as low as $6.45 and sows bulked
at $6.40 on Tuesday.
Slaughter lambs opened the week
strong to 10c higher, but Tuesday
saw values weak to Csc lower than
last Friday. Slaughter ewes and feed
ing lambs showed little strength.
Good and choice lambs sold at $3.50
to $8.75 Tuesday, after reaching
top of $500 to shippers on Monday.
Plain and medium lambs cashed at
$500 to $3.50, good to near choice
yearlings at $6.75 to SIPS, and good
to choice slaughter ewes at 1925 to
$500. Good and choice range feed
ing lambs earned SITS to $3.50, ma
tive feeders $500 to $3.50.

Chamberlain's Position.
Neville Chamberlain, prime min
lister of Great Britain, is in a most
pitiable position, for he wants to
be on friendly, nay, indeed intimate
terms with dictators such as Hitler
and Mussolini; not that he at heart
has any love for them, but he con-
siders it eXpedient for the sake OF
the continued peace of Europe to
kowtow to them. And the dear
friends make it pretty difficult for
him. On the one hand, there is that
restless Hitler stirring up anti-Jewish
persecution to such an extent that
the English people deeply resent it;
on the other, there is Mussolini-
with whom Chamberlain but recently
concluded a treaty of amity-stir-
ring up trouble with France, Eng
lands quite special and traditional
friend, about Tunis.
Under these circumstances, it has
become necessary for Chamberlain
to 60 accounting in little more eau
tious way than heretofore, and he
