ever heard at any Of the many annual
meetings he has attended in Dakota

A representative of the Cooperative

ent and talked in favor of opening a
cooperative store here His talk,
however, was not so favorably re-
ceived by the meeting.
Among other items of business
transacted during the meeting was
the appropriation of $50 to be used by
the County Extension department.
The directors elected were Frank
Hobbs and Clifford Carman; retiring
were Hollis Ladd and Fred Martin.
Alex Carlson was reelected director
E. n. ngtson was elected last year

manager, having served in that ca
pacity since the association was first
organized Louis WINNER and Frank

The Sandstone American Legion
hockey team won its second victory
cut of three official starts Sunday
when ii drove the puck through the
Hinckley defense for three goals
while during the same period pre-
vented the down county opponents
from making a single score During
Sundays game substitutions were in
order rather frequently due TO the
wind and heavy ice.
The Sandstone team has won one
game and lost one in contests with
Pine City and has won one from
Hinckley.
Sandstone goes TO Hinckley next
Sunday for a return game and the
following Sunday will play off the tie
with Pine City at that place.

Washington, Feb. 11-Although they
have only been in session about five
weeks members of Congress are al
ready anticipating a half-year's va
cation beginning June 9. Some of the
leaders are taking stock and sounding
out sentiment as to an adjournment in
the early summer. As a symtom, the
simple art of pigeon-holing contro-
versial legislation is being widely
practiced The reason for postponing
consideration of important Iegis lation
may be found in the fact that this
is election year, when members of the
house and more than a third Of the
senate will come before the electorate.

ASKOV DEBATE TEAM

Debating the question, Resolved:
the petit or trial jury system of the
United States should be abolished
the Askov team represented by Frieda
Hansen, Dagmar Gravesen, Margaret
Hansen, and Katherine Arnbal, SUBJ
stitute, gave a real thrill to all who
heard them when they won over the
Cloverton debaters last Thursday eve
ming, February 6, at Cloverton.
The Cloverton speakers proved to be
worthy opponents" in the true sense
of the word, and after the decision
proved themselves good losers as well.
This victory means hard work
ahead for the Askov debaters as they
will meet Sandstone some time next
week to contest for the county title.

MARKVILLE STORE is
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Vernon Bailey together with its con-
tents was completely destroyed by fire
Wednesday of last week The blaze
was noticed by a visitor at the Ray
Chapman place, but by that time had
progressed too far to be controlled or
to save anything. The high wind
blowing from the east made it diff
cult to prevent the fire from burning
the Ray Chapman buildings, but fine
snow on the roofs aided and these
structures were saved.

by insurance.
