MORE PROTECTION
FOR WILD ANIMALS
No Big Game Hunting This
Year. Bag Limits on
Fish Reduced.

Two acts were passed by the
recent Legislature which make
numerous changes in the provi-
sions Of the law protecting big
game, birds. fur animals, and fish.
These changes are more drastic
than usual and recognize the ne
cessity for revolutionary action to
check rapid depletion.
Moose were taken from the
game list and given permanent
protection. Deer will be allowed
to be killed during the same
season as heretofore, but only on
alternate years. This year, 1923,
will be closed.
The seasons for fur animals
were fixed as follows: Black,
gray and fox squirrels, black bear
Oct. Is to Jan. I; raccoon-Oct.
Is to Nov. Is; mink, fisher-Nov.
Is to March 1; muskrat- March /
to April 30; skunk-Oct. Is to
March /.
Trapper's license is now re-
quired for taking fur. bearing
animals of any kind whether pro-
tected or not, with the exception
of wolves,
The season for trout and other
game fish started April Is and
angling starts May Is.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
AT ASKOV DEPOT
Bright Illumination is on
for First Time
Friday.

The Askov depot which has
been q rather dark and dreary
place to travellers at night is
now more up-to-date looking and
can be found on dark nights with
out lighting matches, electric
lights having been installed and
were turned on last week. There
are two good pole lights on the
outside. each a short distance
from the depot; these are surely
very convenient and useful when
the night trains come in; besides
the pole lights there are two
lights on the outside of the build
ing and the three rooms wait
ing, ticket office and warehouse
are all lighted. On account of no
regular night operator only the
pole lights and those in the wait
ing room are turned on at night,
1t is a good improvement and

AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS
MUST BE CAREFUL
Askov Mayor Issues Warm
ing to Speeders on
Streets.

Most of the citizens of our vii
lage have observed some very
reckless driving with automobiles
on our streets lately.
We have two very bad crossings
in Askov, one on each side Of the
railroad, and the fact that we
have few sidewalks makes it I'M
safe for pedestrians. This should
be considered by oXr autoists, and
it must be considered before some
terrible accident happens. So
take this as final notice that I'M
less this reckless driving and
other violations of the motor
vehicle law are stopped at once
the offenders will be punished to
the full extent of the law.
AS everybody has known, but
seems to have forgotten, the state
law states that a motor must not
be run at a rate of speed to ex-
coed 10 miles per hour through
the business part of village and
not to exceed Is miles per hour
in the residence parts, but even
this speed may be too fast at GER
tain unsafe places and on con-
jested streets.

President of Askov Council.

STATE CREDITS
BUREAU OPENED
New Agency Ready to Hear
From Farmers Want
ing Loans.

The Minnesota State Rural
Credits system is in operation.
The board. appointed recently,
has opened offices at $40 Hamm
Building, st. Paul, and is ready to
receive informal applications.
Thus a long time loan project
started three years ago under
Farm Bureau auspices has be-
come a reality. Leaders gener-
ally agree that had it not been for
the energetic campaign waged in
behalf of Amendment No. / last
fall. the movement for a state
system would have failed. How
ever, after the Amendment had
been adopted, the way was clear
ed for Legislative action 1t will
be recalled that the Amendment
was adopted by a majority of
181 900; the largest majority ever
given any proposition submitted
to Minnesota voters. Credit for
this campaign went largely to
Farm Bureau leaders.
While Offices of the Minnesota
Rural Credit Bureau-to use the
official title of the system-have
been open but a few days and as
yet the new agency is in the or

HINCKLEY BAND
GIVES CONCERT

The Hinckley brass band has
commenced their open air con-
certs for the season, concerning
which the Hinckley News COM
ments as follows: The Hinckley
band gave their first open air con-
cert last Friday night tosa very
appreciative audience and many
complimentary remarks were
made concerning the quality of
music furnished. In fact, so well
pleased were the business men of
the community that a committee
was appointed and a subscription
paper circulated the next morn
ing and a purse of over $50 was
raised and presented to Leader
Lucke as a token of appreciation
for the good work he has done
during the past winter months"

ganization stage. it is already in
position to receive informal appli-
cations. according to E. j. Oppli-
ger, dirt farmer of the board
and chairman.
I'VE have received dozens of
letters from farmers who want to
deal with the Bureau" he said.
While funds for loaning pur-
poses will not be available for
about 80 days, we are in position
to give consideration to informal
applications. These letters will
be filed in the order in which
they are received, and when
printed forms are prepared, APP
plications will be sent out. .
While the Board is losing no
time in getting ready for bust
mess, it is making every effort to
avoid Initial mistakes. T. O..
Ofsthum, who was assistant
cashier of the Federal Land Bank
Of St. Paul before his appoint
ment, spent last week in South
Dakota, studying several phases
|.of the state system there. 1t is
planned to combine the good
points of both the South Dakota
and the Federal Land bank sys-
TENS, in arranging details for the
Minnesota Bureau.
A small office force has been
employed. This will be enlarged
as soon as necessary printed
forms are ready and the work of
making actual loans is under way.
Prospects are, according to Mr..
Oppliger, that initial loans will be
made at 5 to 81 per cent. The
exact rate will depend upon the
interest rate the state will have
to pay in selling bonds. If the
Board finds it possible TO sell its
bonds at Al per cent. the initial
interest rate will be 5. The law
requires that the Bureau shall
charge not less than one-quarter
and not more than three quarters
of per cent. over the rate paid on
loans. Prospects are that the
Bureau will be able to function
on a margin Of about one-half
per cent.
Persons charging more than S.
for preparing papers necessary to
obtain loan are asking exorbi-
tant rates, according to Mr.. Opp
hger. Plans OF the Bureau call
for getting the money from the
Bureau to the borrower by the
shortest possible route and at as
small cost as possible. Borrow
ers will not be required to buy
stock in any association or to
spend any of his loan for any pur-
pose other than his own needs,
except, of course. the small
charge made for appraisement,
etc. This will not exceed SIS,
and should be less in most cases. |
