Wenzel Extends
Grow Hunt Date
Until April 80
New Arrangement to Give
Better Opportunity for
Northern Sportsmen.

The closing date for the state
wide crow hunting contest has been
extended to April 80 to permit sports
men in the northern sections of the
state to take part, announces Con-
servation Commissioner Herman c.
Wenzel.
The fox division of the contest
closes as originally scheduled, at the
end of Wildlife Restoration week on
March 26. The widespread interest
in the contest is indicated by the
scores of clubs that have entered
the statewide contest and are con-
Quoting fox hunts.
That the fox is a definite factor
in the depletion of game birds, as
well as menace to farm poultry, is
the conclusion of many Minnesota
communities, with reports of addi-
tional counties offering bounties on
foxes.
In recent tour of inspection, Game
Warden Hans Kruger of New Ulm,
found fox den containing "a pleas
ant wings. This indicates that the
den had contained brood of young
foxes, whose parents were feeding
them pheasants.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Last week it was said here that as
result of conversations between
Adolf Hitler, chief executive of the
German government, and the Aus
trian Chancellor Kurt Schusschnigg
at the country estate of the former
at Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, it was
likely that the government of Austria
would become, in a sense, subservient
to that of Germany, and that hap
pened: After his return to Vienna
Schusschnigg appointed five nazists
to fill key posts in his cabinet, and
he also obeyed Hitler's command to
release all political prisoners in Aus
tria-between 5000 and 1000 most
of whom were nazists. If the Austrian
chancellor had dared object, he was
faced with the thinly yelled threat
of armed compulsion. He didn't OBJ
ject-that is, not very strenuously;
especially, not very effectively.
Stepping Stone.
Germany's diplomatic invasion of
Austria, if one may so call it, was,
in the eyes of Berlin diplomats, mere
ly another stepping stone leading to
a further goal. Among the recent
ones there was the already reported
shake-up of Germany's army leader
ship and diplomacy; then followed
the reconstruction of the Austrian
in conformity with the
dictates of Hitler, and then, as
grand climax, Hitler's speech before
the German parliament last Sunday.
(In recent years, that national as
sembly is summoned only to hear
what Herr Hitler has to say; when
he has had his say, it goes home
and that is all it has to do).

amble to the Minnesota Constitution.

editor of the Minnesota Polish paper
of st. Paul, was called on and made
the announcement that Harold E.
Stassen is a candidate for governor
on the Republican ticket in the COM
ing primary election and stated he
is well qualified to hold the high
position he seeks because he has a
host of friends in all parties. Cliff

editor of the Hinckley News, was
called on for a few remarks. The

Sandstone Lodge
Observes Its37th
Year OF Being
MasOns Entertain Eastern
Star as Guests at Anniver-
sary Program Monday.

A good sized crowd of Masons and
Eastern Star members were present
Monday night in the lodges temple
in Sandstone when a program of
music and speaking was presented.
Mark E. Robey was chairman of the
committee which had been appointed
to observe the event and presided
over the assemblage.
Mr. Robey, in his remarks on the
occasion, told of the early associa-
tions in the lodge and compared
the modest quarters of that period
to those the lodge enjoys now, which
rank with the best in the state. Mr..
Robey paid tribute to several of the
older and early members and found
ers and listed those who still remain
in that village as himself and John
Shober, together with Ludwig Ed
strom of Sank Rapids, Richard Col
vim of Minneapolis, and Robert Dun
can of California. That group, he
stated, he liked to call the 1900
founders. Milton Richards is another
Brother he paid tribute to in regards
to longevity in the lodge.
Mr.. Robey reviewed the very COM
plete file he has maintained in re-
CARDS to the history of the lodge and
in IT can be found pictures of interest
ing scenes and of many of the past
masters. That work, he hopes will
be carried on by some other mem
Der of the lodge when he lays down
the task and he offered it to the
lodge as memoir when he is through
with it.
Mr.. Robey paid tribute to William
H. Grant who came to the village
in the early 1905 for his work in
the lodge and stated that the first
Bible used in the lodge was given
to it by Brother Grant. The speaker
also spoke of another early worker
for the lodge in the person of Will
liam Aiken. He was the first wor-
official charter and later acted as
secretary for many years. Several
other men were cited by the speaker
and their good deeds were enumer-
ated.
MIR. Robey, himself, is the oldest
member of the lodge raised by it.
First Meeting.
The first stated communication of
the Sandstone lodge under dispensa-
ton, said Mr.. Robey, was held over
what is now the Larson Funeral
Home The speaker described at
some length the lodge room and the
many handicaps which were over
come from that early period until
the present day-a truly appropriate
description.
Mr. Robey concluded his talk about
life in general. He quoted from the
sixth chapter, 10 and 20 verses of
First Corinthians the words, eye
Are Not Your Own, For Ye Are
Bought With A Price" people say
of men and women they have in
herited wealth or by force of superior
ability they have built fortune,
but whatever their lot, whether pleas
ure, money or honor, it comes through
the instrumentality of others. 1t is
