REX INGRAM SCORES
 AGAIN, FEATURE FILM

Those patrons braving the wind to the theatre last night were not sorry, for the Garden of Allah" was certainly production worthy of Imgram's reputation. It was a finished work of art, both acting and setting. The cheap and gaudy dressing up most stories of the des- ert get at the hands of directors, was noticahly ab ent, and a LOOK o'
 naturalness took it's place. One was somewhat surprised to see the real Egyptian muscle-dancers in action without camouflage, as this dance has always been taboo in America.

Washington. May 10 R - Con- gressional action on the Mississippi river flood control bill stood conn., pleted today and only the signa- ture Of resident Coolidge now is re- quired before the nations engineers are given one of their greatest tasks in history.
 With little preliminary ado and without a record vote. the senate yesterday adopted the conference report on the measure with three important revisions suggested by the president. As the house had ap- proved it on Tuesday, congress thus completed what had been described as its most important piece of leg isiation of the present session. The measure will be sent to the White House soon and its propo- nents foresee speedy executive ap. proval. While some provisions etill are considered by the president as unsa ttsfactory. he feels the bill is the best obtainable at this time. httle OppOSltaOn Little opposition bobbed up in the three hours given over to debate of the conference report yesterday in the senate. Senators Norris of Nebraska and Frazier. North Da- kota, republicans. opposed 1t. but made no determined fight against 1t. The subject was discussed only in its general aspects and practi- cally no attention was paid to what was being said. When it first passed the senate by unanimous vote. the bill was shot through in less than two hours.
 No record vote was taken yester- day and when the ayes and nays were called not single dissenting voice was heard.
 After adopting the report, how ever. Senator King. democrat, Utah, who had been absent rushed to the i floor and informed his colleagues that had he been present he would have voted against the report. He also had been prevented from vot- ing the first time the bill was up when he likewise said he would have opposed it.

GUARDING AGAINST
SICKNESS IN RABBITS
DIR. w. A. Evans, A Writer in
the Minneapolis Journal, Had
A Timely Article There Recent
ly on Rabbit Hunting, Reading
as Follows:

The United States public health
service has some advice for the boys
who go rabbit hunting during this
season. They say:
"The hunter should not shoot his
rabbits at the point of his gun. Let
him be a sportsman and shoot them
on the run at IS yards, say, and the
chances will be lessened that the rab-
bits. he bags will be sick with
tularemia.
Finally, beware of the wild rabbit
which the dog or cat has caught,
or which a boy has killed with a
club-it is probably sick rabbit
This advice is based on the wide
distribution of tularemia. This dis
ease has been found in every section
of the United States except New
England, New York, and the contigu-
Gus territory. 1t is probable that
it will eventually be found to be
present all over the United States
and Canada. 1t seems that wher-
ever rabbits are, there tularemia is
Also
Furthermore, because of peculiari-
ties of rabbits, ticks and flies. hu-
mans are endangered from March of
one year until February of the next.
1t is contracted by handling rabbits
and through being bitten by ticks or
flies, and when the ticks are not bit

PROPOSES AMATEUR
WRESTLING TOURNEY
Won Schenk Of Bruno, Thinks
Elimination Contest in Pine
County to Determine Cham
piOns of Various Divisions,
Would Prove Interesting.

Karl r. Won Schenk, the farmer,
heavyweight wrestler of Bruno, but
who dabbles in the game for the
love of the sport, was a caller in
Askov, Saturday. Wrestling contests
have been about as scarce as hens
teeth in these parts this winter and
"Von" says he would like to see
something started as he gets fat and
clumsy when he is not getting little
athletic workout.
His suggestion is for an amateur
contest-a county elimination pro-
gram-to see who are.the champions
of the county in each of several di-
visions. There could be three or
four divisions. If four, the weights
would be approximately 1875 pounds
and less, 40 pounds, 100 pounds-the
lightweight, welterweight and middle
weight classes respectively, and any
thing above that would be heavy
weights. The idea would be for the
various communities in the county to
have elimination contests in as many
classes as possible and the winners
to meet in the finals at Askov to de-
termine the champions of the county
in each class.
The Legion boys in Askov are in
terested and if enough enthusiasm is
program of that kind.

ing the skinning of rabbits is q
popular indoor sport; and when rab,
bit hunting is no longer in order
the ticks are biting.
Theoretically, the way to pick out
a tularemia rabbit is to find white
spots scattered throughout the liver
But unfortunately, market rabbits
are likely to be cleaned and dressed
and devoid of livers when they are
hung up in the markets. In fact
one reason for the frequency of tula-
remia among market men is the
somewhat general practice of clean
ing rabbits before placing them on
sale.
There are some customers who
protect themselves or think they do,
by buying nothing but domestic rab-
bits.
This story must not cause any one
to think that all wild rabbits have
tularemia. In examinations of the
animals found in the markets in sew
eral places it has been found that
more than 80 per cent of the speci-
mems were healthy.

He was married in Denmark and one
child was born there. In 1868, at the
age of "a, he and his family emf
grated to America, settling first at
Neenah, Wis. Their first child died
here at the age of 2. From 1863 to
1892 the family resided at both Nee
nah and Green Bay, Wis, Mr.. Bagge
working at his trade as stove mOulder
at Neenah. In 1892 they moved to
Tyler, Mimi, and in 1901 to West
Denmark, Wis. In 1907 Mr.. Bagge
came to Askov with his son and spent
most of the time since here, except
for an interval of two years spent at
Tyler again and occasional visits with
his children elsewhere. Mrs. Bagge
died in 1879 at Green Bay.
Besides the child born in Denmark
which died at Neenah at the age of
2, there were two other children that
died in infancy. The living children
are: Mrs. Jens Hansen, Tyler; Mrs.
Jens Nielsen, Dagmar, Mont; Mrs. X.
H. Duus, Tyler; Mrs. Ludwig Hansen,
Chicago; and Hans Bagge, Askov.
Mr.. Bagge is also survived by 33
grandchildren and 81 great grand
children.
Mr.. Bagge was of the rugged pio-
neer type of men and preferred to be
a pioneer as he was all his days. He
was a hard working man, firm and
dependable, and lifelong member
of the Danish Lutheran church. He
was a man who gave full value to
this world and his memory amongst
his many descendants and friends
will be a sweet one. Aside from the
years spent at the stove moulding
trade he pioneered as a farmer, and
was always ready to give a helping
hand to a neighbor and friend. He
was very active in the early days of
this community.
The five children above mentioned
were all here for the funeral as was
also Mrs. Duus' son, Vagn, from Tyler;
and Richard Bagge, another grand
son, who is employed in Albert Lea.
The funeral was held Monday af-
ternoon from the local church, Rev.
o. H. Dyreborg preaching the funeral
sermon. The pallbearers were Harald
Jensen, P. T. Petersen, Peter Hansen,
Rasmus Paulsen, Chr. Sandahl, and
Jens Arnbal. The body was given
it's final resting place in the Askov
cemetery.

Saturday, Jan. 7th, marked the pas
sing of one of the pioneers of this
Danish settlement at Askov-Jens
Bagge-who lacked but a little more
than eleven years of having lived a
century. The end came peacefully 9
o'clock in the morning at the home
of his son, Hans Bagge, with whom
he had made his home for a quarter
of a century. He was in bed only two
days but had been weak and feeble
the past two or three months.
Jens Bagge Petersen was born in
Jylland, Denmark, near Vejle, on
April 3, 1889, and grew to manhood
there. When he came to America the
name Petersen was dropped and he
was always known as just Jens Bagge.
