Criticised By Scion

Congressman Harold Knutson,
who has been paying his district
a visit for several weeks while the
house was in recess, today entered
a protest with Cordell Hull, Sec
rotary of state, over the pending
negotiations with the Argentine
government for a trade agreement.
Congressman Knutson will re-
turn to Washington the latter part
of this week.
His message to Hull states:
II desire to register my protests
against any lowering of tariff duties
on agricultural products in the
pending negotiations for a trade
agreement with the Argentine
government.
An analysis of the announce
ment of the state department of
it's intention to negotiate such an
agreement discloses that livestock
products, casein and cheese, among
other agricultural products, are
listed as items of possible conces-
sion.
1T is inconceivable to me why
these items should be the subject
matter of trade concessions when
American agriculture is already suf-

Meeting In Sank

LARGE ATTENDANCE
When People Conquer
Ability To Hate Wars
Will Cease, Said Speaker

Looking to the bright spot in the
worlds future when international
differences will no longer mean
peoples at war, George Selke, presi-
dent of the st. Cloud Teachers Col
lege, told nearly third of Stearns
County's American Legion member
ship at a meeting in Sank Centre
last Wednesday evening that we
do learn something from each war.
With Robert Swift Post, of this
city, host post to the group, nearly
one hundred Legionnaires from sew
en- posts of the county heard Mr..
Selke point to certain trends that
in the longtime concourse will re-
suit in the obolition of war. Rob-
ert Swift's new post Commander
Dewey O'Gara opened the meeting;
Cliff Bemis, county commander of
St. Cloud, presided.
We learn something from each
war, Mr.. Selke told Legionnaires.
We learn that war settles nothing;
we learned about the tricky work.
ings of propaganda. He pointed to
the reluctance of peoples to fight
now in the present World War II,
and claimed that peoples grow
more avidly opposed as individuals
to war after each.
Significant thought Legionnaires
was his statement that hate be-
comes more difficult after each
war. He pointed to early history
wars showing how hatreds often
lasted throughout generations. He
said he believed that it would be
more difficult to get the American
people to a hating mood than ever
before. When people learn thor
oughly the idle wastes of war,
when they conquer this ability to
hate entirely, war will cease alto
gether, he said. He wasn't blindly
speaking; he said it may take sew
eral wars; but he was optimistic
that the time would come in mans
history.
In Robert Swift's meeting before
the county session, the Post was
digging in on an intensive member

was burned to death in his cabin,
two miles from Butternut, Wis

Mr.. Schwartz, last spring, pur-
chased forty acres of land and since
then had erected a cabin, which
was not entirely completed when
it burned. He had the brick at
the place to erect chimney, but
evidently had not found time to
do the work. 1t was cold so he
placed an old stove in the cabin
and ran the stove pipe through the
roof. This may have set fire to

of the First State Bank on Main

and was open for business again
Monday morning. Clyde has fine
store arrangement in his new loca-

have his grand opening in the near
future. He opened his store in this
city in March of 1888.
Work on the erection of the
super-service station of the Cities
Service Oil Co., in this city, was
delayed owing to the fact that the
contractors were engaged in repair
work at the Oxford Theatre. Fred
Schwartz announced last week that
work would be started Thursday,
and it was the intention to COM
mence work at that time, but as
Fred says "the best laid plans of
mice and men oftimes gang aglee."
Work was started Wednesday.
Work in renovating and repair
ing the Oxford Theatre is progress
ing as well as expected. Decora-
tors are now busily engaged in
redecorating the interior of the
building, and carpenters are COM
pleting repair work. The manage
ment plans to open the theatre
about the latter part of this month.
Interior decorations are of hues of
green, red and cream with brown
stripes. Work on the new projec-
ton booth was delayed for lack of
materials.
A contract for razing the Otto
/ buildings, corner of Main and
Fourth Streets, to make room for
the erection of the new postoffice

soon as possible, now that Clyde
Biedleman has moved his grocery
store, and as soon as Alex Benson
locates new rooms for his tailor
shop, which is now located upstairs
in the corner building. We under
stand the contractor has two
months in which to raze the build
ings and remove the debris from
the lots.

Death In Wisconsin Cabin

the cabin, although details Of the
sad catastrophe were not available
to the brothers, Fred and Ben
Schwartz, who drove to Wisconsin
Friday.
When discovered Mr.. Schwartz
and his dog were found badly
charred. He had evidently tried to
get out of the building through a
window, near where his body was
found, but was overcome by smoke
or gas fumes before he could do
so. Wainscoating, which was to be
used to seal the inside of the cabin,
was stacked upon the rafters and
this added to the fire hazard. It
is thought the fire started on the
roof, sometime during the night,
and that he awoke too late to save
himself.
The brothers made immediate ar
rangements to have the body ship
ped to this city for burial, and it
arrived Monday evening. The last
sad rites were held at st. Paups
Church at nine o'clock Wednesday
morning. Msgr. A. Plachta read
the Requiem Mass. Burial was
made in st. Paul's cemetery.

tended school in this city, and re-
manned here until called into ser
