came from the interested countries
themselves; all bulletins were de-
toured, so to say, by way of Stock
holm, Copenhagen, London, Berlin
and Rome, and when the Finnish gov
ernment was confronted with the
stories accumulated abroad, it said it
knew nothing about the whole busi-
ness; Moscow simply said nothing, at
all.
Then, last Sunday the Finnish gov
ernment finally admitted that peace
conference actually was in progress
in Moscow: Prime Minister Risto Ryti
had, accompanied by three other men,
gone to the Russian capital to talk
about peace with the Soviet premier,
Molotov. At the same time it was
emphatically said that Finland, while
eager to end the war, would accept
no humiliating terms and would pre-

Bangs Petitions
Circulated
If 20 Percent of Cattle
Owners Sign County May
Get Test.

Information has recently come to
the county agents office from Dr.
Cotton of the State Livestock Sani-
tary Board that Pine county can re-
ceive countrywide Bangs test if the
required petitions are presented soon
enough. To get this test it is neces-
sary to have 70 percent of the cattle
owners in the county sign petitions
after which the Livestock Sanitary
Board will hold hearing to hear any
objections to the petitions that might
be presented.
AT the program planning meeting
to plan the program of work for the
coming year for the county agent
Max McMillin, and the All Club
leader, Miss Violet Hecker, it was
decided to start circulating petitions
for the testing. The test will be free
to all farmers, and in case of reactors
the farmer is required to sell the ami
NAL or animals for slaughter, the
farmer to receive the full selling
price for the animal, and the state and
Federal governments will pay up to
SIS for grade cows and up to $50 for
purebred cows.
If the county has less than one
percent reactors and less than per-
cent of the herds infected on the
first test, they will be given an ac-
credited rating for a period of three
years, although they will continue to
test the reacting herds until they are
| free from disease.
A countrywide test should be a
good thing for the county as many
herds that do not have Bangs disease
in the county are subject to infec-
ton from herds that are infected
being just across the fence or in the
vicinity where dogs can drag infected
material from one pasture to another
All herds in the United States have
recently been tested for T. B. and
it is hoped by authorities that the
time will come when the cattle in the
country will be as free from Bangs
disease as they are from T. B.

agricultural Census
Will Be Taken Soon

Within few weeks the census
taker will call on all farms in Pine
county for the purpose of securing
information about crops, livestock and
farming conditions, says County
Agent Max McMillin.
All information given the census
enumerator is strictly confidential and
no individual facts or statements are
ever disclosed. Farm families will
be doing themselves and the nation
distinct service by helping the
enumerator secure the desired infor-
nation, Mr.. McMillin says, but in
order to do this, he suggests that ad-
vance copies of the census schedule
be secured from his office before
April l, when the census will be
started. Time will be saved for both
the census taker and the individuals
if as many as possible of the ques-
tions are answered ahead of time.
The first agricultural census of the
United States was taken 100 years
ago, in 1910, and according to a re-
cent review of agriculture 100 years

Camp Purchased
By Pine County

Seven Acre Tract is Ac-
quired by Pine County
Group at Rutledge.

Cloverleaf chapter of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World war
and its auxiliary have purchased
seven acres of shore property on Long
lake, west of Rutledge. The property
will be used for the construction of
rest camp for disabled veterans
and their families, as well as per-
manent meeting place.
It is planned to begin work on the
building of the camp as soon as the
weather permits and it is the plan
of the organization to erect cabins as
well as main building which will be
used for families who wish to spend
their summer vacations at the lake.
Members are enthusiastic over the
plan for they feel that it will offer
facilities for children of veterans who
are not financially fixed to spend
much money for vacation purposes.

The suicidal death of John Monk

Saunders was born at Hinckley in

was an attorney-at-law who came
to Hinckley right after the great
Hinckley fire and later moved to
Pine City where John first attended
public school. The family moved to
Seattle in December, 1906, where
John finished his grade and high
school work. He was brilliant stu
dent, receiving Rhodes Scholarship
which enabled him to attend Oxford
college in England. He became an
aviator during the World war and his
experience gave him a background
for the writing of several successful
plays.
The most successful of his plays,
was, perhaps, 1.-THE Dawn Patrol"
which had wide run right after the
World war and which was revived
and shown again as talking picture
in 1888. Another famous play which
he wrote was Wings
