German Army Rolls Into Iron Rich Silesia

UNDATED, Sept 5 (P-- The high -geared German war ma chine thundered on into Poland while Poland's allies, Britain and France sought ways to bring new relief.
 Germany announced the cap ture of two rich cities, KatoWice and Chor2on in the iron-produc- ing Silesia.
 Warsaw heard reports that of ficials of the Polish government might leave the capital within a few hours. German planes made two raids on the city in bright September sunshine. Most of the staffs of the United States and British and other embassies have arranged to leave, among them U. s. Ambassador Anthony Drex el Riddle Jr.
 Germany said eleven Polish planes were destroyed in an air battle between Lodz and War saw and asserted that the entire Seventh Polish Army Division was crushed near Ezestochowa.
 On the Southwestern front re suits of Britain's first direct blow at Germany in, spectacular bombing air raid on the German fleet near the Kiel Canal was disputed by the two powers. Brit ain said that severe damage was inflicted on two of Germany's six battleships. Germany said that ten of the twelve British raiders were shot down and no damage was done to the Nazi fleet.

Germany Army Takes Crakow, Heart of Poland

BERLIN, Sept. 6 (P)-The cap ture by the Germany Army of Crakow, the city often spoken of by Poles as 'tPoland's heart was officially announced by German commanding generals who went immediately to Wawel Castle Cathedral to render homage to the late Marshal Pilsudski, Pc lands strong man, whom the Germans claimed as their friend.
 Crakow is 40 miles southwest of Warsaw and about 50 miles east of the German-PoliSh bor- der across which the Nazi troops swept early Friday.
 With the announcement of the capture earlier in the day, of Kielce, the German armies have set another strategic goal only short distance away, Sanom- ierz. where the Poles were cen tering new munitions and arms and industry.
 Official German circles express ed confidence that Sanomierz al so will soon capitulate before the German steam roller. As Polish Silesia with it's valuable indus tries is now in German hands and now that Crakow has fallen, the official German belief is that effective Polish resistance is near its end.

So, 1874, $40 in Federal aid highway
act funds for the fiscal year begin
ming next July l, according to a
recent announcement by the secre-
tary of agriculture.
Only eight states received larger
appointments, the report of the

ity to match this Federal aid in full
however, depends on whether the
legislature decides to continue the
one-cent gas tax.
Minnesota's total is divided thus:
$2,704,1 64 for regular Federal aid
roads, $405, 625 for secondary or feed
er roads, and $524,721 for elimina-

Credit Association
Nears Fifth Year

Looking back over five years of
operations, directors of the Pine City
Production Credit Association, which
serves farmers in eight counties of
Minnesota, including much of the
Arrowhead country, this week noted
that the association its near it's fifth
birthday, its charter having been
granted Jan. 2, 1884, although it did
not open its doors for business until
a little later.
The association is the first farm
ers' cooperative of its kind organized
in this part of the country and was
formed as the result of preliminary
meeting at which it was explained
that local farmers could establish
a farmer-owned credit cooperative
and run it in much the same way
that farmers have long been running
creameries, livestock shipping asso-
Citations, cooperative oil stations and
other kinds of cooperatives.
That meeting was held in Deem
Der, 1888, and one of the men who
was chosen to the board of directors
by the charter members, is still on
the board, Clair Shuey of Pine City,
the associations president. He has
been director throughout the asso-
cations existence. Other members
of the board are Albert Edblad of
Cambridge, vice president, who has
been member for three years; Mag
nus Hadselford of Duluth, and Robert
0. Nelson of Braham, who have been
directors for nearly two years, and
Oliver Vitalis of Shafer, a director
for three years. The secretary-treas-
urer is H. E. Cragun, formerly of
Sandstone.
