University Plans 100 Farm
Business Schools.

The university. cooperating
with county farm bureaus, is
planning a series Of about 10O
farm business schools" in coun-
try districts Of Minnesota the
coming winter. The university
will be represented by w. l.. Ca
vert, farm management specia-
list, and c. G.. Worsham of the
farm management department.
Not more than three schools will
be allowed any county until all
the counties have had opportuni-
ty to secure the work.
More than ever, in view IF pre-
valling low prices, farmers need
to study their business. Costs of
production must be trimmed and
the farm business in general ad-
justed to meet prevailing condi-
tions. Studies to be taken UP at
these schools will concern the
costs of production Of wheat,
corn, butterfat, potatoes, hogs,
cattle, etc. and the means by
which the farmer may increase
his net return.
Those interested in having
such schools for their community
should apply 70 their county
agent.

"WAR FAILS"

! "A fair sized crowd turned out
on the afternoon of Armisticc
Day to hear the program given
under auspices of the Jens II.
Jensen Post, American Legion,
at the ID. B. S. hall.
The Askov Band opened the
program by playing a few selec-
tions after which Rev. S. ID. Rod
holm gave the address of the day
which apparently was well
thought over and was to the
point. The speaker was accord
ed close attention throughout.
Rev. Rodholm commenced by
saying that the large American
flag which decorated the back
of the stage was the one in which
the casket Of Jens II. Jensen was
wrapped when it came to Askov
from France, and is a treasured
flag.
The speaker spoke principally
on peace and referred to the
conference on limitation of arma-
ment which is now holding forth
at Washington. He said that
war always fails and made this
statement clear by showing how
Greece, Spain. France and other
one-tlme world powers as well as
Germany-the latest example
have gone down through militia
rism- another word for greed
and hate Denmark also started
downward as a powerful nation
through the same actions as 9th
er nations in the days Of Val
demar SER. Rev. Rodholm said
it should be peace, not the sword
that should predominate and this
day is sure to come. He also ad-
ded that small countries may be
great even though they are not
big in size.
After the speech the band boys
played few more selections end
ing the program with Star Span
gled Banner. Refreshments were
afterward enjoyed.
The debate in the evening
which was the third number on
the lyceum course drew a large
crowd II was won by the af-
frnative. this side being re-

FOUR LIVES LOST
WHEN HOUSE BURNS
Children of Chas. busch and
Their Maid Iose Lives
Near Finlaysoa.

Fnlayson. Minn.. Nov. 16.
Special to the American. "A ter
rible calamity took place Sunday
evening at about 8 o'clock when
fire destroyed the large farm
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Dosch on the banks Of Pine lake.
81 miles west of Finlayspn and
claimed the lives of three chill
dren of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Dosch,
Duluth. and their maid-~a girl
Ia years old. The children
were 2, 3 and 4 years old Two
boys and one girl. The maid had
been making her home with the
Doschs at Duluth for some time.
Bert Dosch is a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Dosch.
Mrs. Bert Dosch and hrr chn-
dren and maid were visiting at
the senior Dosch home. Sunday
evening Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Dosch and their daughter-in-law
left home about 6 o'clock to call
at the home of a neighbor, leav-
ing the children in care of tho
girl.
As near as can be determined
the children and maid had re-
tired and perhaps when they
awoke their escape was cut off
by the fire. 1t Is thought that
the fire started from the stove.
The remains of the baby were
found in the location where the
children and maid had their bed
room. but the remains Of the
maid and the other two children
were found in an adjoining room
side by side under a bed spring
which would indicate that they
he'd fled under the bed.
All the remains were placed
in one casket and the extremely
sad funeral was held Tuesday az
ternoon. interment being made
in the Finlayson Catholic ccme-
terry. The heart-broken parents
and grandparents have the sym
pathy Of hundreds Of people.

CONSUMPTION OF PULPWOOD
 IS ENORMOUS

PORTLAND. July 1.-The pulp wood consumption of the United States in 1920 exceeded the greatest previous record, that of 1919, by Gs6.ooo cords. or nearly l2 per ccat. according to preliminary statements from the district forcstor's office here. This information is based on a canvass of all known pulpwood concerns of the country, 253 in mum, her. couductod by the forest service in cooperation with the bureau of the census and tho American Paper and Pulp Association. Tahulated statement of puIpwood consumption and costs for the past four years. which is just made available, is given below. This data should prove of in tcrest to Alaskans since the national forests of Alaska are soon to become an important source of raw material for the pulp industry.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-07-01

Nearly $IlG,5OO,OOO were spent last year by pulp manufacturers for the 6,l14O72 cords of pulpwood con sumed This sum exceeds by $29.- 100000 the money paid for pulp wood in 1919. and is $43.OO0,000 in excess of the 1918 expenditure Tn average cost of pulpwood in 1920 was $l9,O3. which exceeds the 1919 price by 19 per cent and the 1918 price by 37 per cent.
 The records indicate that at least IS per cent of the wood used was imported, largely from Canada. Near ly ' per cent more domestic spruce was consumed than ever before, and the imports of this species are steadily Increasing; so also are the imports of poplar but the use of do mestic poplar has fallen off 42 per cent since 1916.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-07-01

The 1920 production exceeds that of 1916 by 5OS.O0O tons. or I5 per cent. The sulphite pulp produced exceeded the mechanical in 1920 by less than 2,OOO tons
 The ratio of imports to domestic production of wood pulp increased by nearly per cent between 1918 and 1920.
 The high prices paid for pulp wood and for labor in 1920 are strik- ingly reflected in the soaring valua- ation of pulp which increased s19.52 per ton, or 37 per cent, in the last. two years.

FORD PRODUCING ABOUT
1000 CARS PER DAY
Present Production Greater Than
Same Period Last Year.

Ford is building cars at full
speed. And, according to an Off
cial statement from the factory at
Detroit, the demand for Ford cars
and trucks still exceeds the out
put, despite the fact that new
high level production has been
reached.
By the first of May figures re-
presenting daily production were
in the neighborhood of 1000 cars
a day, so the May schedule was
set at 101, ,125 cars and trucks, moi
including the output of the Ford
Canadian plant or any of the for
eign assembling plants. The out
put mounted daily; May 18th were
4O92, the greatest number that
have been produced in one day
so far this year. Since the month
has 25 working days, present in
dicationS point to a new high rec
ord.
A comparison of Ford produc-
ton figures for 1920 and 1921 dis
closes the fact that for April 1921
the output was greater by 4,514
than for the corresponding month
of a year ago. The output for May
1921, will probably overshadoW
May 1920, by between Is and 70
600 cars and truck.
Approximately $4,000 men are
at work in the Detroit plant OF
the Ford Motor Company. The
factory is operating on full time
six days a week, and three shifts
a day.

dition that we are right now,'
