First Month OF
Safety Campaign
Saves Ten Lives
Fifty-Five Killed In S e p
tember AS Compared To
65 A Year Ago.

Good results have been forthcom-
ing during the first month of the
Minnesota E tors Traffic Safety
campaign to save 100 lives when traf-
fic fatalities were reduced to 10 less
than the deaths recorded in Septem-
Der last year.
Fifty-fve persons were killed in
September this year but this repre-
sents 10 lives saved over toll of IS
for the same period year ago. De-
spite the decrease in traffic fatalities,
however, there was marked in
crease in pedestrian deaths, 81 hav-
ing been killed in the course of
month.
October Quota So.
Motor vehicle collision fatalities
were decreased by five and the num-
Der of persons killed in non-collision
accidents decreased six below Sep
TENDER of last year. Twenty-Five per-
sons were killed last year in nom
collision accidents, that is by running
off the road, and only 16 during Sep
TENDER of this year. The quota for
October, fixed by the Editors COM
mittee, is SO.
The committee of the Minnesota
Editorial Association which has es-
tablished a quota of 534 in It's cam
paign to ''save 100 lives, has re-
doubled its efforts to reduce the &C
cident toll during the winter months.
September Danger Month.
September has for many years been
known as one of the heavy accident
months of the year. Therefore, the
editors have so planned their CAM
paign as to take in two Septembers
in Is months safety drive.
A special warning was issued this
week by Basil Walters of Minneapo-
lis, chairman of the Editorial As
ISOLATION committee, urging motorists
to be particularly careful because of
the shorter daylight period and the
pedestrian accident increase which
usually accompanies the coming of
early darkness.

International News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Balkan remains a Seething center
of turbulence, and by the time these
lines are being read the trouble may
have broken into open warfare. II
seems to be quite evident that Hit
Ter and Mussolini are trying to en-
barrass the British empire at this
point, first by depriving it of its only
remaining friends in the Near East
and then by preparing march to-
ward the Suez canal.
Rumania already has been occupied
by the German troops; Greece and
Turkey are being threatened, and
Yugoslavia has passed into the eco
nomic sphere of interest of the die
tators.
Rumanian Affairs.
What was at first merely "pene-
tration" of Rumania has become an
actual and full-fledged occupation,
the Germans seeming to have taken
complete control of everything. AS
far as is known, the Bucharest gov
eminent is still functioning, after a
fashion, but under orders from Ber-
lin.
An OminOus detail in this con-
ection is the continued presence
of Russian troops along the Ru-
manian borders; that may pre-
sage conflict between Hitler and
Stain on Rumanian soil, but
there is as yet nothing which
very definitely indicates that.
There are merely vague hints.
1t is general understanding that
if Germany, having, as it were, taken
possession of Rumania, wants to ex-
pand its Balkan territory, Greece is
slated to be the next victim, and for
a couple of days there were reports
to the effect that Germany and Italy
jointly had presented an ultimatum
to the government at Athens, de-
handing that it sever its economic
relations with England, fire its king
and prime minister. These reports
have not been confirmed, but in view
of the fact that such policy would
be completely in line with the meth
DDS of Rome and Berlin elsewhere
they do not lack FEASIBILITY.
If Greece is attacked, it will
mean that Turkey will rush into

Delegates To The National

A. M. Simonsen of A skov,
Tenth District Commander of the
American Legion, w h o was
delegate to the recent national
convention of the American Lee

the experiences and sights en-
joyed by himself and his party

His letter follows:

Hog Supply Hits
New 1910 Level
Tuesday Supply Largest OF
Season, Granted Cattle
Are Scarce.

South st. Paul, Mimi, October %,
1910: After Mondays cattle run of
approximately 800 head established
a new record for the season, the Tues
day hog supply set another 1910 peak
when around $4,000 head were eX-
pected to be marketed. The Federal
State Market News Service in its
review continues to say that grain
fed steers and yearlings were ex-
ceedingly scarce in the supplies, but
even so demand was of a narrow
character. Some weakness was ap-
parent in slaughter steers and year.
lings, while she stock also showed an
easier trend. Bulls lost about Csc
for the two days and vealers were
unevenly weak to SOC lower.
Liberal supplies of stockers and
feeders encountered ample demand
to hold prices generally steady, but
there was a drag in the market for
replacement classes on Tuesday
However, choice white-faced year.
lings sold as feeders at $9.75, and
bulk of the good westerns moved al
$3.50 to $3.50. Choice steer calves
reached $11.5O, with most of the good
mixed calves between $3.50 to $3.50
In the absence of steers or yearlings
very high in the choice grade, the
top for slaughter cattle was $1,000
Hog Prices Lower.
Hogs opened the week generally
10c to Csc lower, mostly 15c below
last weeks close. That basis was
continued on Tuesday with the ex-
ception of sows which regained about
SC of the earlier loss. Tuesdays top
was $500 and included butchers from
100 to 280 pounds. Bulk of the good
and choice 200 to 800 pound barrows
and gifts brought $5.85 to $3.50, while
heavierweights sold down to $5.75.
Similar grades $50 to 200 pound Of
ferings cashed at $5.75 to $500 with
100 to $50 pound weights making
$3.50 to $585 and 40 to 100 pound
light lights cashing at $5.25 to $5.65.
Good sows all weights sold from $3.50
to mostly $5.55. Feeder pigs held
about steady with the previous week
at mostly $5.25.
Fat Lambs Advance.
Statesmen refused to make fur
Their concessions on fat lamb values,
and the rigid stand taken enabled
producers to secure a Csc advance.
Consignments were largely from ma
tive territory and quality of rail I'M
loads was mainly good to choice.
Demand at eastern dressed centers
assumed more steady keel, with
good to choice lightweight carcasses
selling largely from SIS to SIT. Year
lings and slaughter ewes were chief
ly sorts from fat lamb shipments, the
moderate number receiving steady
money. Demand continues slow for
replacement stock. Top fat lambs
was SO, bulk good to choice $8.75 to
SO.

National Lottery
Tuesday Begins
Selective Draft
Pine C ounty Lists 23OO
Men Eligible For Peace
Time Consumption.

Approximately $500 men in Pine
county, eligible for the selective draft
together with some 100000 others
in the United States, are waiting for
the national lottery to be held in
Washington, D. c. next Tuesday. The
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
in the presence of President RooSe-
welt.
Will Use Master List.
A master list of serial numbers
will determine the order in which
men will be called to service from
every local board area, unless they
volunteer or are deferred. It is eX-
pected that over $500 numbers will
be drawn and about Is hours will be
required for the task.
There are $500 local boards in the
nation and each man registered by
these boards has his own serial num-
Der. If number Is is drawn as the
first number in the lottery all men
with the number 25 will be the first
to be called. If number 1923 is then
drawn all having that number will
be next in line and so on until enough
numbers have been picked to cover
the largest number of registrants in
any one local board area. After the
drawing the nearly 100000 regis
trants will know their official call
status under the selectiVe service law.
To Photograph Numbers.
A large goldfish bowl used in the
World war drafts is being brought
to Washington from Independence
hall in Philadelphia to be used in
this new draft. The serial numbers
themselves will be placed in blue
lined, non-transparent capsules and
put in the bowl for the drawing.
After the numbers are drawn they
will be photographed and the n
mounted on sheet of cardboard.
Printing plates will be made later
and copies of the master list will be
taken and mailed to the local service
boards in the nation.
Names Will Be Published.
Lists of the Pine county draftees
and their serial numbers will be
released for publication by the local
board at Pine City after the lottery
and will appear in the county papers.
After the men are called they will
be required to fill out QUESTIONABLE
to furnish the local board with the
information needed to enable them
to classify the men in one of the
four selective service classes.
Advisory boards have been APP
pointed in Minnesota by the governor
to assist any registrant who wishes
help in completing his QUESTIONABLE.
Each member of the Advisory boards
is an attorney and those selected for
the Ninteenth Judicial district, Kama
bee, Pine, Isanti and Washington
counties, are Albert johnson of Sand
stone, Reuben c.. Thoreen of Still
water and Frank Reinhold of Hinck-
ley.
Associate members will be selected
by the Advisory boards to assist also
and render any help necessary.
Refuse To Register.
Seven southern Pine county men
refused to register for selective serv-
ice on the grounds of conscientious
religious objection to military serv-
ice, according to the Pine county
draft board. The names could not
be revealed by the board, which had
received written explanation from
each of the men. The men still have
until the national lottery to register
and no legal action will be taken un-
til after that time.

tor of Greek national security.
While Turkey is said to have
splendidly trained army, its equip
ment is not supposed to be a very
high-grade one. And should both
Greece and Turkey be defeated in a
possible defensive war against ag-
gressive dictators, Great Britain
would be bereft of all effec-
tive influence in the southeastern
corner of Europe. =
YugOslavian Problems.
A few days ago a special German
commission of economists arrived at
Belgrade prepared to make demands
on the government of Yugoslavia.
They wanted, first of all, that country
to so readjuSt its economic life that
principal emphasis would be placed
on agriculture for the benefit of Ger
many; they also insisted that in the
matter of exports Germany must
have priority rights over all other
nations.
For some time YugOslavia has
been exporting about 100000 tons
of iron ore to Germany annual
ly. Now, all of a sudden, de-
mand was made that this quota
be increased to 100000 tons,
and there was to be no reluctance
about it, either!
In this connection an unusual note
was struck by the fact that while
Germany almost never condescends
to making explanations, it did in this
case try to justify its action by say
ing that the iron-ore supplies from
Sweden, France and Luxembourg had
been greatly reduced as result of
war damage and sabotage. And, JUS

900 tons of iron ore-that was, among
many other things, what Germany
wanted from Yugoslavia.
Under the circumstances, the
Belgrade government had no
choice in the matter, so, finally
consented, knowing that Ger
many sets its own price on what
ever it wants to buy from other
countries; knowing, also, that if
