Vital War Questions

OF more concern to the United States and Bri-
tain than anything else at this time is: How much
of Germanys oil reserves and other vital supplies
are being used up in the Russian campaign? All
other considerations minor, compared with this
question
There are other unanswered questions which are
highly important of course, among them being
these What is the extent of the damage being done
to German port facilities, synthetic oil plants NUM-
tions plants, railroads, ship-buding yards vessels
in ports and many other detectives? What of Ger
manys supplies of food clothing and fuel? What
is being done by the conquered peoples in the way
of sabotage and other forms of resistance?
And perhaps equally important is the condition
of German morale generally, both in the armed
forces and among the civilian population In the
long run, this may be the most decisive question of
all, but for the present it is safest to that
the Germans still have the will to continue the
struggle.
REWRITING to the Russian campaign, it may be
said that from a realistic point of view the Soviet
losses in men, material and territory important
to the United States and Britain only if they enable
Hitler to obtain the oil, grain and other supplies
which he must have to replace what he is expanding
in his campaign.
Russia is not likely to defeat the Nazi armies
the battlefield but she may Germany to
lose the by Gripping her so that Britain, with
Americas help, finish the job.

LOOK BEFORE YOU
LEAP, SAYS STATE
SECURITIES CHIEF
Large Losses Incurred in
Illegal Promotions
Can Be Averted

Pointing out that many persons,
attracted by the picture of easy
money painted by slick promoters,
fail to take advantage of protec-
tive measures provided by the
state, Robert L. Smith, Jr., Min
nesota Securities commissioner,
this week appealed to chamber of
commerce, law enforcement agen-
cies and citizens generally to aid
in the fight which the state Sec
urities division is making to pre-
vent illegal stock sales.
Huge sums have been taken out
Of many communities over a period
of years, Smith says, by fraudulent
promotions which could have been
prevented. Counting over a few
years beginning in 1884, he called
to mind 81 illegal promotions in
which stock statesmen obtained an
estimated S7,826,00O. Most of the
losses resulting from such trans
actions can be avoided, Smith says
If prospective purchasers will
merely take the trouble to find out
whether the promoters have OBJ
tanned licenses to sell the secur-
tiles.
Zone of the hardest things about
this business Of protecting invest
ors," he pointed out, "is that the
very people whose money we save
often resent it. So plausible do
the promoters make their story in
many cases that many of their
customers feel we are engaged in
great conspiracy to keep them
from getting rich. They are de-
termined not to let us spoil their
dreams of wealth."
Smiths files afford striking
commentary on how gullible peo-
pie sometimes are. One Of the
most recent illegal promotions has
been the sale surreptitiously of
shares in a Mexican mine at SOC
share. An investment of 500,
the smooth promoters point out,
will provide an income of 500 a
month for life. If you want an
income of 5000 a month, all you
have to do is to put in 5000.
That, you might think, would be
hard to sell. Yet many persons
bite on it. One business man,
clever enough to develop a bust
ness that pays him $4,000 year,
was caught on this promotion.
Oil and gold promotions are not
infrequent. One group of promo
tiers collected money to put down
an oil well in Minnesota. Not
finding oil, the promoters went
back to the same people and con-
WINGED them that gold had been
discovered on the property. More
money came in. Eventually hopes
of the customers for riches from
gold began to fade. Just at this
point the promoters showed up
with the startling report that mer-
curry had been found on tire prop
erty. More dollars flowed in. More
than 100000 was collected for this
venture, investigation developed.
1--WE are doing everything pos
sible to prevent such losses recur-
ring" Smith said. "The task is

that it rides on box cars from town
to town as do many humans. AT
the sound of a freight whistle the
dog makes for the train, watches
for an empty car, takes a flying
leap, and is soon on his way. Many
hoboes have tried to keep the dog
with them, but to no avail. AS to
this dog, the call of the open road
is stronger than permanent human
compionship.
Boys Seek Relatives;
Find Selves in Wrong State
Dawson-Two youngsters from
Minneapolis came to Dawson rec
emily to visit some relatives. Upon
inquiring as to the residence of
the people, so no satisfactory in
formation could be given. The
lads thought for a moment, and
soon realized that their destination
was Dawson, North Dakota. That
solved the problem, and the boys
were sent back to the Mill City on
the next bus to begin their journey
all over again.
Tourist Encounters

Hallock-A tourist, who was re-
turning west after a visit with his
sister, Mrs. Oscad Danielson, of
Lake Bronson, tells of an incident
that happened while enroute home.
AS they were passing through the
high Rockies, the tourists came

Nag Cheats Death
In 75 Foot Plunge


Red Wing-A horse belonging to
Victor Anderson was grazing along
the edge of a nearby bluff, and
although generally considered a
sure-footed animal, the ground
was made too wet by a recent rain
and old Dobbin began to slip and
fall. Down he went sliding on a
sharp incline for about 10 feet, and
then falling to a small ledge 20
feet below from which he bounded,
and then tumbled the remaining As
feet in sheer plunge. DR.. G. A.
Knorth, veteranian who attended
the animal, stated that a similar
accident probably wouldn't happen
again it a thousand years without
resulting in certain death for the
victim.
Fisherman Has
Unique Experience

the experience of not only catching
the same fish twice, but also re-
covering his plug and leader. He
was about to land beauty" when
his leader gave way. AS would be
most fishermen after such an oc-
curence. Mr.. Peterson felt very
sad. But he did not feel like
this for long however, as hearing
a splash in some nearby willows, he
came to investigate and found his
bass with the plug in it's mouth
hooked in the willows. 1t seems
that you just can't keep a good
fisherman down.

this sport would prove to be a
profitable business for him. On

the most severe of punishment to
end his life was proven recently
by Frank Toombs, Of Bemidii.
Frank, who works at the mill, was
hit on the back of the neck by a
thousand pound dump box and
thrown on his face. The victim
was pulled out from under the
box, which stopped only four inch
es from the ground, and was hur-
riedly rushed to hospital 1t was
thought that every bone in his
body was broken, but the X-rays
showed that not even one bone
was messed. Franks right arm is
bit stiff yet as a result of the
encounter, but nevertheless in a
short time Frank will be back on
the job feeling as good as ever.
Rare Flower Found

flower, one which very few people

to be branch of the mushroom
family. 1t grows with a single
stem, and is curved at the top to
form an Indian Peace Pipe. The
finding Of this flower has not
caused much excitement, for the
