Poferl Arranges
State Fair Booth

Pine county will again have an
agricultural booth at the Minnesota
state fair which opens Saturday, as
result of the work of Matt Poferl
of Pine City, who has labored for
over 20 years to keep the county in
the agricultural limelight at the big
state exposition.
His skill in decorative lines and his
ability to produce prize-winning ex-
hibits have won him much reknown,
the Pine county booths finishing high
in statewide competition year after
year.
In more recent years, with finan-
cial assistance curtailed, Mr.. Poferl
has taken it upon himself to continue
the annual displays, collecting the
exhibits about the county at his own
expense, and arranging the state fair
booths as in the past. Himself an
experienced and. enthusiastic garden
err and flower grower, his own per-
sonal exhibits have won hundreds of
prizes at state and county fairs.

Sample Ballots
In This Issue

Samples of the ballots to be used
in the primary election Tuesday,
September 8, are published in this
issue of the American. The county
ballots, without party designation,
are relatively short with only three
offices on the ticket, supreme court
justice, county treasurer and county
commissioner, third district. Those
residing outside the third district will
vote only for treasurer and associate
justice supreme court.
The consolidated, or state ballot,
will have the three parties as usual,
Republican, Farmer-Labor and Dem
ocrat, but there are only two filings
on the latter, both for representative
in congress, sixth district.
The voter may not split his ballot,
but must stick to party lines. If he
votes for candidates of more than
one party the ballot will be rejected
by the election judges.
