ASKOV FARMER
LAID TO REST
&, p. Christensen Passed to the Great
Beyond After Much
Suffering.

For several months the community
as a whole has been interested in the
physical condition of c. p. Chris
and it did not come as surprise
when the news spread rapidly last
Thursday that he had died that day
shortly before the noon hour. In spite OF
his fatal ailment Mr.. Christensen con-
tinued to battle against death, but
with the recent setting in of other
complications he lost his wonderful
strength and slept quietly away at
1895 a. m. March 13. The main cause
of death was cancer but the final end
was hastened by the setting in OF
dropsy. He had been confined to his
bed most of the time since September
last year, and had been in Duluth a
couple of times to seek relief there,
but of no avail. DR.. H. e. Levin has
been caring for him at the farm
home and has relieved him of much
pain at various times, having often
been called out there as much as
three times during a day and night.
Mr. CnT1StelSen Was DoTL III bi dlll-
minge, Denmark, Aug. 1st, 1874, and
was thus fifty-five and a half years
old at the time of his death. On
April 4. 1900. he was united in mar
riage to Miss Sine Laursen who has
been his loyal mate and ardent helper
tn the very last; until recently when
more help was called in, Mrs. Chris
tensen cared for her husband day and
night for six continuous weeks.
In 1904 Mr. and Mrs. Christensen
and their two children emigrat-
ed to the United States and To-
Gated on farm in Shelby county,
Iowa, where they remained until 1911
when they moved to farm near
Watertown. S. ID. In 1918 they moved
again and came to Askov, settling on
their present eighty acre farm to
which they have since added another
eighty.

County Umpiring
Is Proposed For
Coming Season

During the past few days various
baseball enthusiasts throughout the
county have begun to gather in groups
on street corners and etheF places
with the chosen subject taken from a
chapter in the great national past
time book.
The greatest question at the pres
ent time for the baseball clubs in the
smaller communities of the county
according to early reports, is the UNI
pirng situation. Suggestions have
been made that instead of re-engaging
association umpires again, as last
year efforts should be made to secure
good former baseball players or fol-
lowers of the game within the county
who are equipped to intelligently
umpire one and organize them into
body to officiate at the games.
1t has further been suggested
that the county meeting of the
league take this matter up and
appoint several men who will and
can act in this capacity at a con-
siderably less outlay of money for the
various clubs. If this plan is adopted
it is thought that most of the smaller
clubs will be able to maintain team.
opinions on this subject are invited
for the columns of the American.

TEN YEAR CENSUS
TO START APRIL 2
President Issues Proclamation to
Every Person to Answer all Ques-
tions on Census Schedules.

The fifteenth decennial census will

nation which might be essential is
procured The presidents proclama-
ton follows:
WHEREAS, by the Act of Congress
approved June Is, 1929, the Fifteenth
Decennial Census Of the United States
is to be taken beginning on the sec
ond day of April, nineteen hundred
and thirty; and
WHEREAS. a correct enumeration
of the population every ten years is
required by the Constitution of the
termining the representation of the
several States in the House of Repre-
sentatives; and
WHEREAS, it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests of all the
people of the United States that this
census should be a complete and ac-
curate report of the population and
resources of the Nation:
NOW, THEREFORE,. l, Herbert
Hoover. President Of the United States

make known that, under the law afore-
said, it is the duty of every person
to answer all questions on the Census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family.
and all other census schedules as re-
quired by law, and that any person
refusing to do so is subject to penalty.
1.-The sole purpose of the census is
to secure general statistical informa-
tion regarding the population and re-
sources of the country, and replies are
required from individuals only to per-
nit the compilation of such ganeral

nothing to do with taxation, with mil

enforcement of any national, state or
local law or ordinance. There need be
no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual person

sons furnishing information every en-
ployee of the Census Bureau is pro-
hibited. under heavy penalty, from

thus come to his knowledge.

reau and thereby to contribute their
share toward making this great and
necessary undertaking a success.

Washington, March 19-There is
considerable anxiety in government
circles these days as, to the extent
of tax returns. The hundreds of in
ternal revenue collectors throughout
the country are expected to make
quick and reliable estimates as to the
number and volume of tax reports Of
all kinds in their districts. These re-
ports are expected by the Treasury
Department within a few days SO that
the Administration and the Congress
may know whether there are pros
poets for a working surplus or de-
felt. Not only the government but
financial and business leaders are
awaiting these returns for they afford

The emergency tax reduction, which
Congress authorized i'm December, was
calculated 10 save the taxpayers
$3.50. .0O0.O 900, with the larger benefits
comes. Some apprehension is felt by
government officials that the proposed
expenditures may exceed the revenue
from the calendar year OF 1929. 1t is
believed that when the Treasury esti-
mates Of the yield are completed the
figures may result in curtailment or
abandonment Of certain projects. Dur
ing the week Congress authorized an
additional 1000. 900 for the Fed
eral Farm Board, which is con-
siderable drain on the exchequer.

Mr.. Paulsen was born at Balm,
Schleswig, Synderjylland, Denmark.
on March Is. 1850. At the age of Is
he emigrated to America and worked
for a number of years in saw mills
near Green Bay, Wis. He was married
in the state of Illinois when about
q years old. They took up farming
near DeKalb, and Sycamore, remain
ing there eight years, after which
they moved to Nashua, Iowa, where
they also farmed for eight years.
in 1898 they moved to Tyler. Minn.,
and farmed there for II years. Mrs.

80 acres of land, 11a miles north of

daughter keeping house for him. His
son and family settled right across

nothing short of marvellous, appreciat-
