By GEORG STRANDVOLD

On August 4, 1914, the British gov
eminent declared war against the
German empire, and a few days ago
many people in many countries
thought that Adolf Hitler was about
to observe this twenty-siXth anniver-
sary by opening his major attack on
England.
It could be only guess, like so
many other guesses that have been
made and forgotten. And people
who are somewhat familiar with the
mechanics of the Hitler brain dis
counted the story for the simple rea-
son that it would be not at all con-
ceivable that the nazi director would
give in advance any inkling as to
the date and hour when he plans
to stake his all on the hoped-for con-
quest of the British Isles, his optimis-
tically expected humiliation of the
British empire.
AS things turned out, August
4, 1910, did not signalize the OPEN
ing of the real onslaught on Eng
land. No one knows when it
will come.
During the last few days there
have been air attacks by the Ger
mans on English ports and by the
English on German positions, and in
London it is claimed that much de-

said that the great Krupp ornaments

AS was to be expected, the Germans
are doing their utmost to minimize
the results of these commandments.

found it eXpedient for propaganda

Vyacheslaff Molotoff, Russian Sow

week long enough to review some of
the events of the last few months,
in so far as they affected the policies
of Russia.
He made it clear that during the
eleven months since the middle of
September, 1889, Russia has added
% million inhabitants to her popu-
lation by reason of conquest; part
of Finland and Poland has been in
corporated in the Soviet union; Es-

Mum Seeks New
Term In Office
r. r. & w. Commission
Chairman Files for Re-
election.

Chas. Mum of Osseo, chairman of
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission and former state
representative, filed for reelection
Wednesday of last week on the Farm
er-Labor ticket.
Mum has made his home in
rural Hennepin county where he was
born and has continued the active
management of his farm. He has
been outstanding and Jealous cham
pion of the cause of agricultural re-
covery and adheres staunchly to the
belief that agriculture is the guide
post to general prosperity.
Fights for Lower Rates.
He was instrumental, with his Com
mission associates, in holding a pro-
posed interstate freight rate increase
on farm products in 1887 to five per
cent, and in blocking any increase
whatever on intra-state merchandise
shipments and on movements of grain
and grain products from the primary
markets of Minnesota.
He was an active leader in the Com
missions successful fight against a
four cent per hundred rate increase
on out of state potato shipments that
would have cost the potato growers
of this state in the neighborhood of
half million dollars annually. He
also successfully opposed plan to es-
tablish ''thin rye" grade that would
have reduced rye crop receipts in
Minnesota many thousands of dollars,
and he was one of the most vigorous
opponents of the proposal for dis
memberment of the M. & st. L. rail-
road properties, plan which, if car
ried through, would have thrown
many hundreds of Minnesota citizens
out of employment.
S5,O0O,00O Saved.
In transportation and utilities rate
reductions, combined, Minnesota ship
pers and consumers have benefited
during Mr.. Munn's tenure of office,
to the extent of an actual cash saw
ing of five million dollars or more.
During this period two of the Com
missions main subdivisions, the
Grain Inspection and Livestock
Weighing departments, have consist
emily shown an annual profit balance,
and this year both departments have
substantially reduced their weighing
fees, at the Commissions order.
Facts like these from Commission
records, Mum believes, are prefer
able, from the public viewpoint, to
any amount of political precepts or
promises. "And the records are
open," he adds, ''to anyone who wish
es to question them"

mer bookings of the DeWaldo Co.,

it's thrills they are looking for.
Thrilling Casting Act.
The regular platform show will
bring to the fair the famous Don Lee
Roy troupe, who played the San
Francisco fair last season. This COM
,pany comprises girl and two men
in thrilling casting act. DeWaldo
says they are the finest performers
he has ever been able to present.
Then, from the Orpheum circuit come
the Three st. Glars in three distinct
acts. They carry musical instruments
valued in excess of $4,000 and fea-
ture the musical bells, Swiss bells
and the glass bells. Ora and Minerva,
featured last year at the fair in New
York, bring another aerial show that
is bound to please. They also feature
a tumbling act and some fascinating
acrobatic dancing.
Belle Wheeler with a dog and pony
revue promises to thrill the young
sters who attend the fair as well as
some of the older folks.
Side Splitting Comedy.
Side splitting comedy will be fur
nished by the LaRona troupe, COM
pany of five funsters, who have an
acrobatic trick house from which they
plunge through windows and crash
through the doors A contortionist
act, the human pretzel and the Great
Harvey are other features.
Thursday is entry day and persons
having exhibits for the fair are urged
to have their stock or products in
before 6 p. m. Thursday evening,

Askov, Sandstone, Finlay-
son and Either Officers or
Friesland to Compete.
Standings of the Teams.

Officers and managers of the TWi-
light D-Ball League met in Sandstone
Monday evening to discuss postponed
games and the championship play
offs which will begin next week.
1t was decided that the Officers and
Finlayson play a double-header at
Friesland Thursday night (tonight)
to decide whether or not the Officers
remain in the play-off bracket. If
the Officers lose both games it will
be necessary for the League officials
to decide on the status of a disputed
game played some time ago between
Askov and Friesland. If this de-
cision is in favor of Friesland that
team will be tied for fourth place
with the Officers and these two teams
will have to play single game to de-
eide which one enters the play-offs.
Play-offs Begin Monday.
The teams which will compete
Monday evening on a neutral dia-
mond are Askov, Sandstone, Finlay-
son and either the Officers or Fries
land. Hinckley has been eliminated
and the Inmates are not eligible. The
two winners will play three-game
series for the championship, one game
on each home diamond and the third
game, if necessary, may be played on
a neutral field.
No definite plans were made for
next year but meeting will be held
in the spring to decide on further
action.

Sandstone Bank Now
Under State Charter

The First National Bank of Sand

under a state charter and in the flu
ture will be known as the Sandstone
State Bank. The officers of the in

will be more advantageous to a
country bank and its patrons, and
since it will still be a member of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton all deposits up to $4,000 will be
protected as in the past.
The management and policy of the
bank will continue the same as before
with R. w. Barstow, president; A. S.

cashier; V. A. Mulholland, assistant
cashier; and c. j. Pearson and Chris
