Wheat.-It is evident that the grain
trade of the country, and politicians as
we'll, are failing to enjoy the present
state of uncertainty regarding the
future of the wheat market. 1t is gen
orally admitted that the pledge to the
farmer must be maintained, but there
is wide difference of opinion as to
how the market in general shall be
operated. Although the spring wheat
crop IS not yet in the ground and the
winter wheat has yet to pass through
its most critical period, those who are
trying to solve the problem seem con-
Weed that unless some unforeseen
catastrophe overtakes the crop the
chances are favorable for yield
around ~ billion bushels.
Corn.-A reaction took place in the
corn market and prices closed with
net losses Of about cents a bushel
The volume of business was of smaller
proportion than of late. The country
at large seems to believe that prices
must continue to decline to meet
changing economic conditions, and buy
ers are timid about taking chances
Cash markets are irregular, with the
Southwest commanding big premiums
over Chicago, and the relative stubborn
ness of the near months reflects firm
ness In the cash position at large

AID FOR POLISH PEOPLE

Clothing is the principle thing
which the millions of suffering
people in Poland are in need of
this winter. and this is what all
the Lutheran churches of Ame-
rica have undertaken to gather
an abundance of. But there may
be many people who have no
clothing to give away. and still
would like to lend a helping
hand. Donations of cash will be
just as cheerfully accepted as
with that clothing can be pro-
cured and clothing is what the
Polish people need.
Remember that next Thursday,
Nov. 20, the goods will be ship
ped from Askov. Bring what
you wish to give either.in cloth
ing or cash donations to the
Askov Hardware Co. store on or
before that date.

Surveying Proposed State Road.
Engineer p. F. Starry came to
Askov yesterday and together
with three or four helpers is
busy surveying the designated
state road to run west one mile
north of Askov, crossing Kettle
river and joining the Federal
highway. 1t is a short state
road being only four miles long
but will be an expensive affair
as there is to be a bridge with
a span of something over 200
feet. 1t is hoped that this road
will be put through next year.

one of the socalled "goulash"
millionaires in Denmark, arrived
in Portland, Ore, a few weeks
ago so heavily loaded with money
that he decided to paint the
town red" He did this in a
rather conspicuous fashion, one
of his diversions being to shoot
revolver bullets into the furni-
ture of the hotel where he was
registered. He is now reposing
safely in the Portland Jail.

way has arrived in this country

American steamer which usually
docks at New York when arriv-
ing in this country from Copen-

Philadelphia on its. last trip be-
cause of the dock strike in New

a European liner of any consider
able size had visited "old slow
town." and the appearance of the
boat created quite a sensation.

The homecoming celebration
for soldiers, sailors and marines
of this community which was
held at the church Sunday was
we'll attended. and was a success
throughout.
With such two men as Army
Chaplains Alfred Sorensen and S.
d. Rodholm as speakers it was
almost bound to be a success.
However it may be that Rev.
Rodholm was held too much in
reserve--being a local man---and
was not given the opportunity
to give any lengthy talk. He, as
we'll as Rev. Sorensen, undoubt-
edly has many experiences to re-
late from army life, which would
be interesting to hear and per
haps he might entertain with
those here in Askov on some
other occasion. 1t was impos-
sible to crowd any more into the
meetings Sunday than was done
without making them too
lengthy.
It was interesting to note that
in civil life--before the war
Rev. Rodholm was Rev. Soren-
sens senior having been his in
structor, but this did not dis
courage the younger chaplain as
he said that he weighs down
more on the scale and was chap
lain Rodholm's senior in the serv-
ices. These two men are the
only ministers from the Danish
Lutheran church Of America who
served as army chaplains during
the world war.
The afternoon meeting was
opened by the singing of America
by the entire assemblage fol-
lowed by Battle Hymn Of the
Republic after which Chaplain
Sorensen delivered the principal
speech Of the day.
In order to understand what
it meant for soldiers to return
home the speaker took his audi.
ence through warfare in France;
he also spoke of what army life
was to the soldier a. well as ia
himself from the time Of entry
into the service up to the front.
Having much to do with the cen
soring Of letters Mr.. Sorensen re.
lated some experiences from
there telling Of how one soldier
wrote to the folks back home ex.
planning that they had seen a
submarine on their voyage across
the. Atlantic. The soldier wrote
something like this: Those subs
you know are below the water
they only have a pole sticking
up above and when she comes
near enough to our ship just
throws out a rope and lassot
her" Rev. Sorensen said he al
lowed that letter to go thru fol
if the enemy should happen to
see it they would surely be
frightened
The speaker also told. Of how
they spent Christmas at the
front, how the boys all helped
to decorate and that Christmas
eve was a real quiet and solemn
evling with the right spirit,
and this one Christmas had per-
haps meant more to many OF the
service men than any previous
Christmas. :.
Rev. Scrensen also said that Is
minutes. after the. last shot was
fred on Armistice day--the
menQrable' Nov. II. 1918-the
boys asked their officers when
do we go home. "'-~ 49,.
Senator A. S. Larson OF Sand
stone, was the second and last
speaker during the afternoon
and ina brief and concise man
ner smoke on loyalty and disloyal-
ty to country. Mr.. Larson lauded

him rs an example of what a for
eign born person can accomplish
in this country and Of what value
he can be to his chosen country.
The afternoon meeting closed
with the singing of the first two
verses of Star Spangled Banner.
At seven o'clock the service
men, their ladies' and parents
gathered in the basement of the
church for dinner and a good din
ner it was. The ladies' had labor
ed diligently to do their best and
their efforts we're surely appre-
ciated. Those who gave short
talks at the dinner table were:
Representative L. c. Petersen.
Chaplains Rodholm and Sorensen,
DR.. P. N. Fenger, L. Mosbnk. and
three service men, Hedge Kills
tofte. vice chairman Of the Askov
Post. American Legion. Peter
Hermansen and v. s. Petersen.
Representative Petersen said
that many of the soldiers may
have thought that the home
people did not show appreciation
Of their services and that the en-
thusiasm wAs gone when they re-
turned. but he explained that
this was due to their coming one
by one and for that reason this
homecoming welcome was ar
ranged. II the service men had
all returned home in a body after
the Armistice was signed the
community would simply have
been upset with enthusiasm.
One of the service men ex-
planned an incident Of how. when
q German battery had been
taken prisoners by the Ameri-
cans . doughboy stepped up to i
high German officer who was de-
corated with beautiful gifted
shoulder straps drew his pocket
knife and proceeded with the
work Of cutting off the orna-
ment. The captain looked At
him with desperate eyes and
shook his head violently. The
doughbey continued his work un-
concerned and explained briefly
Il only want souvenir"
Another service man said this
dinner reminded him Of when
they occasionally sat down TO :
good feed over in France. Some
times those good feeds were far
between and when they got to it
they ate so much that they felt
uneasy.
When Rev. Rodholm dwelt on
the question Of who won the war
he said "the Kaiser became
scared when it was reported TO
him that the big stout army
chaplain, Alfred. Sorensen. was
on the front and it frightened
and slackened the Germans con-
siderable, but the arms were not
laid down before the Kaiser
heard that ! was ready to cross
the ocean,"
DR.. Fenge-. said he was the
first man back--not from the
.front but from prison! The
speaker did not meet up in UNI
form, presumably due to the
fact that uniforms in the place
where he rccxr1e from ,are not as
popular. nor as pretty as the
kahki. They are very plain.
After his graduation. the doctor
said, he sailed on an Atlantic
liner as surgeon and there saw
the. Importance and need Of
those who kept Are under the
steam. boilers. and in behalf Of
the guests thanked those womer
who on thia occasion kept Are
under the coffee boilers.
L. Mosbek spoke briefly about

years ago. moved to Canada.
