Krebs received his title Of gaulel-
ter district leader from Hitler lest
April, and there Is 'every reason 70
believe that on most OF HenlienS
visits to Germany, he was seeing not
Hitler himself, but Krebs,
Because Krebs was denouncing
IS years ago, the. foundations Of
CzechoSlovakia as q gigantic his
torical lie" and because that Is
precisely the position taken BY H!t-
Ter In his speeches on the Czech
crisis, Il seems likely that Krebs Is
close In his confidence.
KREBs READY
TO TAKE OVER
Thus TIenlien, who did active
spade work In 5udetenland, may
eventually be relegated like Seyss-
Tnuuart, In Austria, to q position Of
nominal honor but no influence,
while the real government Of the
Sudeten regions goes over TO Krebs.
RECOMMENDATION Of the Sudenten,
areas, with elimination OF all par
Ties, and any opposition press, will
unuuestionabiy follow In the foot
prints OF the German army OF oc-
cupation. And the Henlien Nazl
party will undoubtedly be absorbed
into the German Maxi party, whose
natural leader for that area already
sits In the place Of power In the
person of Krebs.
In Germany, as In Russia, the
important posts are party, not
government positions.

County Corn Wins
First At State Fair

Claire Shuey of Pine township, was
successful in winning first on his 10
ear sample of corn displayed at the
State Fair last week. The corn was
a hybrid which Mr. Shuey is raising
in conjunction with the University
of Minnesota. It is a white variety
and is known as No. 402, not yet hav-
ing been given name. The ears
are large and of uniform size and
length.
This is not the first time that corn
from this farm has won a prize as
Mr.. Shuey has specialized in raising
high grade seed corn for many years.
He also raises large quantities of fruit,
especially some fine apples.
The corn which won the prize is
now on display at the office of the
county treasurer in the court house.
Matt Poferl was again at the fair
this year with Pine county's exhibit
and although not awarded a prize, his
exhibit was very impressive and re-
ceived many favorable comments. A
large photograph of Mr.. Poferl's ex-
hibit is on display in the county treas
urer's office

Invents New Hay
Stacking Device

Necessity proved to be the moth
er of invention for Ben c. john
son of Pequot who, feeling that
he had pitched enough hay for any
one mortal man, recently invented
a method of moving hay from
shock to stack top without touch:
ing it with a fork. Mr.. Johnson's
ingenious continuance consists of
a rope sling arrangement which is
placed around shocks and then
drawn tight as the horses pull the
load away. While a representa-
tive of the local paper watched,
Mr.. Johnson in one load hauled
several large shocks amounting to
a half ton of hay, a distance of
several hundred yard over the
stony ground to the stack.
At the stack a longer rope was
attached to the load and it was
elevated from one end of the stack
to a position on top. Mr.. johnson
claims and proved that this method
works far better on stony ground
than even the expensive hay bucks
and automatic leaders.

County Team Is

Baseball Race
NOwthen Defeats Rutledge
Sunday in Final Contest
of Region l at Cambridge

Pine county's baseball hopes for
state honors died Sunday at Cam
bridge when Nowthen defeated the
Rutledge team by score of to 8.
The Rutledge boys, who have played
good baseball all down the stretch"
lost the game in the first three innings
of the contest when the Nowthen team
gathered in seven of its runs. Both
teams were equal in hits and Schmidt
of Rutledge, struck out 10 batters, but
the breaks went against them and the
opponents were crowned champions
of the Region.

Fair Period TO
Be Heightened
State Fair Date Will be
Advanced Into August for
Several Reasons.

The 1899 State Fair will be ex-
banded to a ten-day exposition and
will be advanced one week in date.
1t will open on Saturday, August 26,
and will close Labor day, September
f. This action was taken by the
board of managers following the close
of the 1888 fair on Saturday.
The inclement weather which cut
the attendance at the fair this year,
was only one of four factors which
prompted the board of managers to
make the major change in the Expo
sition's policy. The expansion is the
elimination of three years discus
sion on the advisability of holding
a two-week fair. A large block of
exhibitors and concessioners have
advocated this policy for some time
because of the large expense involved
in presenting exhibits of high stand
ard.
The change should make a more
successful fair because weather dur
ing the last week of August, records
show, is warmer and more stable;
educational opportunities for school
children and teachers will be in
creased; and the tourist season will
still be on which will attract more
out-of-state visitors at the EXPOSE
ton.
Growth of the physical plant of
the fair has enabled its managers to
make the Exposition worldwide in
scope and reviewing the event it is
seen that the 1888 fair was the most
successful in history, measured from
every standpoint excepting weather.
And in the face of five days of rain
the attendance was only IL percent
below the record of year ago. The
attendance this year was 582,161.

Spud Inspection
Starts On Sept. Is

According to announcement made
Tuesday by John A. Whaley, direc-
tor of markets, Minnesota State De-
partment of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food, 3O2 Gorham Building, Min
neapolis, Minnesota, on all carlot ship
ments of potatoes, both intra and in
ter state, originating in Minnesota
commencing Thursday, September Is
must be inspected by licensed Fed
eral-State inspector.
Mr.. Whaley states that this an
nouncement is made to clear up the
confusion existing by many in the
potato industry between the Federal
Marketing Agreement program and
the Minnesota Uniform Inspection
Law.
Under the Minnesota Compulsory
Potato Inspection Law, all potatoes
are allowed to be shipped from the
state regardless of their quality. How
ever, the inspection is made to de-
termine their grade and condition
Inspectors will be stationed at various
points of origin as far as possible
In those shipping stations where it is
impossible to station an inspector,
depot agents have been informed to
place notation on the bill of lad
ing to hold for Federal-State inspec-
ton at Minneapolis, st. Paul or Du-
luth where the cars will be inspected
and certificate mailed to the shipper.
Many of the dealers and growers
in Minnesota were of the opinion
that it was the state law that pro-
hibited the shipment of potatoes that
did not meet the requirements Of a
certain grade last season. This, of
course, was not true, Mr.. Whaley
said, as the restrictions on shipments
that did not meet certain grade spe-
cifications was strictly Federal reg
