cording to the Federal-State Market
News Service, but demand remained
narrow and slaughter steers along
with she stock sold slowly in weak

being Csc down. Bulls kept about
steady. Medium to good fed steers
turned at $3.50 to $8.75, few good

$1,000. Common to medium heifers
made $3.50 to $3.50 with odd lots

common and medium cows $4.75 to
$5.75, Gamers and cutters $3.50 to
$3.50. Sausage bulls bulked at $500
to $6.75, a few good reaching $500.
Vealers developed touch of strength
when the extreme top scored $1,000
although $3.50 was paid only sparing-
ly and most good to choice vealers
sold at $500 to $500. Stockers and
feeders were slow and weak to Csc

to this he explained that the valua-
ton in Pine county has gone down
until it is very small percentage
of what it was few years ago when
much of the present obligations were
contracted for. He said when the
valuation goes down one-third the
mill rate naturally goes up two
thirds.
Mr.. Greenwald again repeated that
welfare in the county is the big
problem saying that little children
can't be allowed to freeze and starve
even though it is known that parents
are negligent. He explained that the

require many able-bodied recipients
of relief work but much condemna-
ton has been heaped upon them for it

In regards to tax attachments

recently decided to operate its own
trucks and hire the truck drivers on
straight salary. Formerly the truck
drivers owned their own trucks and
worked on commission. The associa-

The first of this week the big truck
from Texas was here for second
load of rutabagas. 1t is semi-trailer

1t is long trip and big load, but

Rutabaga Rates Reduced.

The Great Northern Railway has
recently announced a reduction in
freight rates on rutabagas in carload
lots from Askov to various shipping
points. From the schedule submitted
it is noted that the old rate of 35
cents per hundredweight to Chicago
is reduced to SOC; to st. Louis the
Accent rate is cut to SO cents; Omaha,
reduced from So to 80 cents; Kansas
City, from Al to 81; Sioux City, from
80 to %: Sioux Falls, from 20 to rs;
Milwaukee, from 80 to 81; Fargo
from 81 to %, and Moorhead, from
81 to %.
Heretofore the minimum carload
rate was $4,000 pounds, the new
lower rate calls for minimum weight
of $4,000 pounds in a carload. The
new rates became effective Deem
Der 10. To Chicago, for instance
there is reduction of cents per
100 pounds; on 36,000-pound car
load that would be S18 or exactly ST
per ton. The new rates give the local
dealers better chance to compete
with Canadian bagas and also pass
the advantage onto the producer by
paying more for the bagas.

AsSoCiateu fEeSS fOrelRn AHalrS writer.
The explanation of Premier Mus
solini's sensational shake-up of the
Fascist leadership lies to my mind
in two reasons which, if this view
is correct, must rank among the
major developments of the European
crisis. They are:
i. II Duce has done a vigorous
piece of housecleaning to get rid of
a definite challenge to his supreme
and absolute leadership.
2. He has at the same time appar-
emily consolidated his position OF
neutrality" in the present war-a
position which was endangered by
pro-Nazi tendencies among some of
his important lieutenants.
This realignment of forces, which
assumes the nature of purge, is
not the result of a new situation
being suddenly created. 1t has been
boiling for a considerable period.
Test Of Brute Strength.
Starace's Hopes for Elevation.
1t. Gen. Achille Starace, who now
has been relieved of his powerful
post as secretary of the Fascist
party at his own request" is cred
tied with nursing personal ambi-
tions.
1t has been common talk in Ital-
ian political circles that Gen.
Starace had strong hopes of STEP
ping into Mussolinis shoes when
the big chief stepped out of them,
and was consolidating a position
calculated to lead ultimately to ele-
vation.
The position of chief of general
staff of the Fascist militia to which
Gen. Starace has been shifted isn't
regarded as comparing in impor-
tance to the secretaryship of the
party.
Two top men who are credited
with being pro-Nazi and to have
been pressing for Italian interven-
ton in the war on the side of Ger
many, have been assigned to new
jobs. These are Starace and Dino
Alfleri, minister of propaganda, who
has been assigned to an unnamed
ambassadorial post.
II Duce thus has achieved two
ends with one operation. He has

lice finally lifted the ban on news
OF the recent abortive attempt to
assassinate the japanese Armys
most outstanding liberal Gen. Ka-
suchige Ugaki. The police said a
20-year-old member of the League
for Thorough Completion of the
Sacred War" boarded Gen. Ugakis
train, intending to stab the general,
put was unable to accomplish his
purpose because of a heavy guard.
Although the event occurred three
months ago, before the Inaugural
ton of the present cabinet, it gives
an idea of the perils besetting
Premier Gen. Nobuyuki Abe and his
colleagues.
Rlghtest elements, inside the army
and out, are doing their utmost to
undermine the Abe cabinet because
OF its alleged weakness of policy. 1t
is common knowledge that Gen.
Ugaki is close friend and unofficial
adviser of Gen. Abe.
Hotheads are putting obstacles in
the way of improvement of Japa-
nese relations with the Occident bv
venting an outcry every time the
government displays signs of will

Rumania Held Ready
To Make Offer in
Bulgarian Dispute
Privileges, Not Cession
Of Dobrujo, Believed
King Carols Plan
By the Associated Press.

6y INC ASSOClAteu GIcbb.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 31.-Reliable
sources reported today King Carol
is prepared to offer Bulgaria a
psychological settlement" in her
territorial dispute with Rumania
over Dobruja.
Vasile Stoica, Rumanian Ambas-
sador to Turkey, was said to be on
his way to Sofia, Bulgarian capital,
with the offer.
Diplomatic circles said the pro-
posal assures new privileges for
Bulgarian-speaking inhabitants of
Dobruja, but held the view any
actual cession of territory at this
time will peril Rumania's existence
as nation.
Rumanian possession of Dobruja
was confirmed in the World War
settlement. Recent reports have
indicated Soviet Russia is prepared
to back Bulgaria's claims to the
territory.
Despite the precarious diplomatic
situation, Rumania has been ex-

Agents clamored for sea going
freighters to take 100000 tons of
grain to Italy and another 100000
tons to England. River boats and
railroad cars for shipment of 3OO,-
600 tons of grain contracted by the
Reich were at premium.
Although market reports were
sketchy, authoritative sources said
one grain deal with Germany wa;
completed at almost twice the world
market quotation.
Italy, Turkey and Greece were re-
ported contesting with Germany for
share Of Rumania's oil.
The government took steps to pre-
vent internal prices from skyrocket-
ing. Industrialists were ordered to
report their raw material needs for
year in advance, so there would
be no excuse for a price boost on
claims of shortages.
