WHY SKAGER-RAK AND
KATT[ER-GAT WERE MINED

Denmark and Sweden at all times
during the war knew where their
next meal was coming from.
In the case of Denmark, German
intimidation was remorseless and
persistent. On account of location
Denmark's helplessness was plain in
case Of Germany's ruthlessness. Her
frontier has no natural defenses,
tho no race in the world is braver
than the Danes. Their little army
could have hoped to- make nothing
more thanSa formal stand against
the Huns. The Allies could have
extended no aid early in the war.
The Germans could have over-run
them as they did the Belgians, in
twenty-four hours. None but the
Danes themselves knew how near
was the peril Of invasion. Only
now that the struggle is over have
they learned how close they were
pushed to the brink of war. Not
particularly against Germany but
as Germany's ally. Since the steal
ing Of Schleswig- -Holstein, the Dan
ish people hate their neighbors.
1t was important to Germany
that British warships should not
enter the Baltic. It was then they
mined the Skager- Rak and the
Kattegat to prevent it. About this
time a small British gunboat came
in contact with one of the mines
and went crippling ashore on the
Danish coast, pursued by several
German warships. They were lei
surely battering her to pieces and
had already killed several Of her
helpless crew. A patrol of Danish
ships came into view. The specta-
Gle was too much for the Danish
naval men and they steamed be-
tween the Huns and the crippled
English ship and signaled the Ger
mans to stop firing or they would
take a hand. The Germans with
drew.
Denmark's market at the time
the United States entered the war
was England. By agreement, Den
mark exchanged rs percent Of her
dairy products for coal and pork
and other products.

CAR DAMAGED

The Ford auto, belonging to Mr..
Chris Ronemose, was quite badly
damaged, last Saturday night when
it turned turtle into ditch along
side the road, where he was driving
west of town. We understand that
Chris was the only occupant of the
car and escaped without an injnry.
The roads were in such terrible
condition, which is thot to be the
cause of the accident.

A DAYS WORK

Peter Rix Of the Manning Moni-
tor has figured out what constitutes
a days work. He says:
What constitutes a days work?
Why figure it out that it depends
altogether on your occupation. If
you lay brick eight hours, if you
keep house sixteen hours, if you
preach the gospel two hours, if
you are a porter in sleeping car
twenty-four hours, if you serve the
government one hour, and if you
are a newspaper man twenty-four
hours.

CORRECTING AN ERROR

Our attention was just recently
called to the fact that an error in
the publication of the amount con-
tributed by Audubon township to
the United War Drive placed that
township in the wrong light. 1t
seems that Hugh Farrell, the town
ship chairman, sent in the money
from four school districts in one re-
mittance, which was $230.25. The
other school districts were sent in
by the solicitors direct. When the
reports by townships were published
only the amount sent in by Mr..
Farrell, or $23O.25 was published,
as credited to Audubon township.
The records of the treasurer, Joe HI.
Ross, shows the following received
from Audubon township, a total of
$508.25. This amount was collec-
ted from the following districts and
reported by the men, whose names
are given:

BREEDERS OF Pure
BRED LIVE STOCK

live stock are there IN Audubon
| County@ is a question asked OF
1.-THE County Agent from time to
time. An effort is being made to
compile a complete directory OF
the breeders of all classes of pure
bred live stock in this county.
! At the present time there are 81
breeders in the county, who are
listed as having one or more regis
tered females in their herds and are
using unregistered sires. The num-
Der Of breeders Of all classes of pure
bred live stock are divided as fol
lows; Horses 6; beef cattle, so
(Herefords %, Shorthords l9, An
gus 81; hogs 35 Duroc Jersey IL,
Poland China l, Chester White 81
These figures have been compiled
from answers to questionnaires sent
out to Farm Bureau members and
to the men known to keep pure
bred live stock. 1t is probable that
a number of names of breeders Of
pure bred live stock are not listed.
A complete list is earnestly desired.
A state directory of breeders will
be published in July. In order
that Audubon County breeders may
be fully represented there under
their respective classes, all breeders
of pure bred horses, cattle, sheep,
and hogs should write or phone to
the County Agent at once. The
complete list of breeders in this
county will be sent into headquar-
ters May 1st.
