Sugar Retailers To
Check On SURPRISES

The local war price and rationing
board of Pine City wishes to notify
all Pine county retailers of sugar
that they submit lists of all per-
sons having surrendered sugar pur-
chase certificates to whom balances
are now due. Each retailer should
make a list of the consumers, show
ing the name, address and amount
due. The total amount of the sugar
due consumers by the retailer would
be considered excess sugar and the
retailer in turn would surrender
stamps and certificates to balance
out this temporary increase in his
allowable inventory.
The Pine county rationing board
also asks that all applicants receiv-
ing canning sugar use up their sup
ply within the 80 days after the
expiration of the specified canning
period. If the certificate issued to
authorize the purchase of sugar for
home canning has not been used, it
shall be returned to the board for
cancellation.
If the certificate was used, but the
sugar obtained was not used during
the canning period, the war ration
books held by members of the FAM
lily unit shall be returned to the board
which will then detach stamps of
weight value equal to the amount of
sugar obtained but not used.

.Colburn ToHead
Cloquet Division
Successor to Late W. ].
Wilkinson A Local Man;
Rose From Ranks.

Appointment of Phillip " Colburn
to the position of manager of the
Cloquet Division of the Minnesota
Power & Light Company, to succeed
the late w. j. Wilkinson, has been
announced by M. L. Hubbard, presi-
dent of the company.
The Cloquet Division comprises the
territory centering in Cloquet and
extending north as far as Floodwood
and Meadowlands and south to Sand
stone and Hinckley, including electric
service to approximately Is COM
munitieS.
Born in Cloquet.
Mr.. Colburn was born in Cloquet
where he attended grade and high
school. After few years employ
ment with the Northwest Paper Com
pany and a short time in general
construction work, he became con-
nected with Minnesota Power &.
Light Company. AS young man he
started at the bottom of the ladder
in the electric utility business, being
first employed in July 1928 as a
groundman on the line crew. From
this position he successfully worked
his way through the various positions
of lineman, estimating engineer, line
foreman, and in August 1884 was
made division superintendent, which
position he held at the time of his
appointment as division manager.
Active in Community.
Mr.. Colburn has taken an active
part in community affairs and re-
Gently served in the capacity of pres
ident of the Cloquet Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
effective Immediately, the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Colburn," said Mr.
Hubbard, sis made with the assur-
ance that service to Cloquet and the
surrounding area will be in good
hands. 1t is fine tribute to our
American way of life that man can
work his way up in comparatively
few years to position of great re-
sponsibility such as this"

International News Review

The forces of the United States
have succeeded in driving away the
Japanese from two of the major
islands where they had entrenched
themselves; that was early in Octo-
Der. And at that time the announce
ment was made that very likely the
enemy would be chased away, also,
from the last island in his possession,
that of Kiska.
But more than three weeks
later it was said that not only
was the enemy still there, but
that he had strengthened his
positions.
No doubt, there is valid explain
alton of that, and no doubt the pub
lie will be told when the due time
comes. At the moment when mill
tary operations are developing, it is
useless to inquire, and both use
less and unfair to judge, but SEN
sible to hold judgment in allegiance,
combining oneself to mere statement
of such facts as are officially vouch-
safed.
Egyptian War.
For weeks it had been reported
that General Field Marshal Edwin
Rommel, Hitler's commanding officer
on the Egyptian front, either was ill
or had been recalled because his boss
was dissatisfied with the negative re-
suits of his attempts to reach the
Nile and the Suez Canal. It now
appears that Rommel was neither i'll
nor in disgrace, for he has resumed
full and active command of the Ger
man and Italian forces in North
Africa.
And at the same time it is an
nOunced that tho British have
started new offensive against
him-als0 that American troops
are taking part In 1t.
The object now seems to be not
merely to prevent Rommel from
reaching his detectives, but to drive
him out of Egypt and Libya alto
gether.

Cattle Shipment
Hits S-YearP
Monday Run of 2O,O49
Head Highest Since Sep
tember of 1884.

South st. Paul, Mimi, October 81,
1912: The largest run of cattle
20,049 head-since September, 1884,
when drouth cattle were being mar
keted, arrived at South st. Paul
Monday. Relatively few slaughter
steers and heifers were included,
however, and those classes showed a
reasonable amount of stability, prices
ranging from weak to Is cents lower.
Cows came piling in in excessive
numbers and the market dipped
sharply. Declines for two days meas
ured mostly so cents and from the
high time of last week many sales
were $1.00 lower. Bulls showed
losses of fully Is cents, while vealers
held steady. Stockers and feeders
arrived in the largest volume in
years and prices slid down rather
abruptly. Losses generally measured
Csc to SOC and in extremes common
and medium stockers showed greater
declines. Stock heifers were in very
narrow request. Stock calves lost
Csc to SOC and offerings were not
all taken at the decline.
Hogs Up, Then Down.
An active market on the week S
opening session sent hog prices AS
cents higher, but subsequent down.
turn of Csc to Csc reduced the week S
gain to mostly zoe with few late
sales only 10c higher. The early
days were practically one price mar
kets On Tuesday the bulk good and
choice hogs 160 pounds up as well
as sows sold at $14.35, with a few
late sales at SLABS. Feeder pigs
were strong to Csc higher; most good
and choice pigs 100 pounds down
selling at $14.50.
Sheep and lamb receipts on Mon
day were the largest of the current
year. Slaughter lambs sold lower
with this class showing a loss of
10c to 25c Fat sheep and feeding
lambs were mostly steady. Good and
choice native and Dakota slaughter
lambs realized SLABS while top choice
offerings earned $14.40. A few top
choice yearlings sold at $3.50. Good
and choice slaughter ewes turned at
$500 to $3.50 and fat bucks $3.50
to $500. Small lots of Dakota and
native black-faced feeding lambs
brought up to SLIPS.

By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Always, there is compelling rea-
son for making changes of leader
ship in navy or army during a war,
but it is not often that the public is
informed about tit is left to draw
its own conclusions. And so, there
was a reason for the sudden change
announced a few days ago in the
naval command of the American
forces in and near the Solomon Is
lands where Vice Admiral Robert L.
Ghormley was relieved of his post
to be transferred to some other, and
where Vice Admiral William F. Hal
sey took charge.
In this case, no statement ex-
planning the move was made by
proper authorities, and one sim
ply has to seek refuge in the
known facts that the battle of
the Solomons began on August
18th, and has not yet been won
or, for that matter, ended in any
other way.
To the Navy Department it may
have been a not quite satisfactory
fact that the Japanese were still able
to attempt landing new reinforce
ments on the island of Guadalcanal,
but, on the other hand, it has been
reported that they have not-at the
moment of writing-been able to sue
coed in their attempt. The main
thing accomplished by the American
forces until now is that they have
made further enemy operations ex-
ceedingly difficult, but it is possible
not known-that the authorities had
expected something more, and that
this may be the reason for the shift.
Aleutian Front.
No change within the command
of the American forces in the Aleu-
tian Islands-at the northern ex-
tremity of the Pacific-has been an
nounced; there may not be any, and
it would be unfair on the part of an
insuficiently informed public to form
too hasty judgment about the situa-
ton up there.
