POULTRY RAISERS
IN ISANT WILL
SHOW NEXT WEEK

Premium lists for the Isanti County
Poultry show are now available and
can be had from the secretary, v. e.
Ericsson of Stanchfield, for the asking.
The show will be held at the Electric
Palace at Isanti on February 10, II.
and IL.
Because of the spacious building
and fine accommodations the coming
show bids fair to surpass in size and
interest many similar events. En-
thusiasm for the show is very strong
and large display of birds is ex-
pected. The premiums offered are
very attractive and should prove an
inducement to all poultry raisers of
this section of the state especially.
Entertainment features will be offered
on the evenings of the second and
third day. Music is expected to be
furnished on these evenings by the
bands from Cambridge and Braham.
The Isanti County association has
just recently been reorganized. Some
years ago this county had a regular
association and functioned for three
years. The organization is now a
countrywide institution and contem-
plates the holding of shows, alternat-
ing at Braham and Isanti. Present
officers are o. w. Barbo of Braham.
president; L. E. Cook of Isanti, vice
president; and v. e. Ericsson of Stanch-
field, secretary and treasurer. Other
members of the board of directors are
all actively engaged in the poultry
business and are taking a leading
part in the management of the COM
ing show.

PINE PHILOSOPHY
BY the PINE PHILOSOPHER

l don't think of all the junk that
goes in this column by myself Some
times suggestions come from odd
places. The one this week l thought
was good and appropriate, for the sub
ject seems to be uppermost in some of
our minds.
Another old soldier and myself were
fighting the war again when he popped
at me, What do you think of Uncle
paying us that Adjusted Compensation
in full?" 1 said, We'll, if get it
can spend it in plenty of places" He
replied, 'I'll have $500 coming and
if l get it, will be taxed $4,000 to pay
it. This money has to come from
somewhere and where will it come
from. Me? If thought we could make
a lot of those old profiteers pay it,
l would holler for it louder than any
body else. We privates will eventual
ly pay it, don't worry. Here is the
DOPE Get committee of ex-soldiers
to investigate all of those old robbers
and check up on all those cancelled
war contracts that the government
paid claims on to men that never had
brick for factory and shirt makers
that never had a shirt And then
check up on all the corporations that
made excess profits. Have congress
make an appropriation for large
ugly monument on busy national
highway. Have this inscription printed
on it. This monument embodies the
spirit of those skunks that took adj
vantage of their country in it's hour
of peril Then engrave the names
of all these companies beneath in big
letters. Maybe we could charge them
enough to pay up those certificates
just to chisel their names off the mon
ument." Not bad idea, Ell?
The American public eats nearly
seven pounds, of peanuts per capita
during the year. Aren't these monkey
gland operations going a little too far.
In 1913, according to government
reports, we spent about two billion
dollars for liquor. In 1880 the pro-
hibition director collected over ten
and one-half millions in fines for vio-
lating the eighteenth amendment. If
we would have had little prosperity,
we would have been bigger hearted
than that.

writer, critic and editor could not
stand prosperity and publicity and l
think he has written FINS to his
whole literary career, through his
latest full page advertisements. huff

ad and throw the paper away on your
own account.

ASKOV

Bennett Larsen left Monday for the
northern part of the state to seek en-
ployment in some lumber camp.
Hans C. Johansen, west of town, was
taken suddenly i'll Monday night, but
was improving at the time OF this
writing.
Thorvald and Carl l. Jensen, who
are local agents for the Perfection
milking machine, installed complete
outfit for Nels X. Andersen about a
week or so ago, it is the Sth iTstalla-
tion they made here.
c. W. Hellman and son, Sven, of
Finlayson, were among those attend
ing the Pine Coop. Oil association
meeting in Askov Saturday. While
here the Hellmans called at the Amer
lean office for pleasant chat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl A. Strandvold and
the latter's father, T. w. Hansen, mo-
tored to Amery, Wis, Sunday for
visit with relatives. Returning home
the same evening, they were accompa-
MED by the latter's brother, Christ
Hansen, who is remaining for visit
here.
Marinus Jensen, who is well known
locally as having considerable ability
as an artist, has recently put three
pictures on display in the Askov Bak-
cry window which are well worth
looking at. They are for sale at
prices ranging from twenty to thirty
dollars.
Anton Kvist of Chicago, was here
as per schedule last Thursday and
showed his Danish film ~GrRnsefolket'
both afternoon and evening in the
d. B. S. hall. The total attendance
at both performances was about 400
and many of them would gladly pay
the admittance price again to see it
once more, while many others now re-
greet that they didn't see it. The pic
lures were good, the acting was fine,
there was beautiful scenery and won
derful characters, with minor love
story. Mr.. Kvist gave short but in
teresting talk before the showing of
the film.

AskOU Farmer
An Oil Artist

For the average rural dweller it is
a rare treat to see original and
natural work of art first hand but the
residents of Askov have an artist of
no mean talent in the person of Mari
nus Jensen, residing northeast of the
village. Mr.. Jensen has painted many
pictures but before, only relatives or
personal friends have been privileged
to see them, he being of modest incli-
nation with no desire for praise. How
ever, Jacob, his brother has taken
it upon himself to bring a collection
of three to the Askov Bakery win
dow where they are now on display.
Depicted in oil are three scenes, one
of touching number of rough crosses
showing the last resting place of a
portion of the World Wars heroes in
Flanders Field; one depicting one of
the many Indian canoe trails with
two of the dusky woodsmen and their
showing a mountain scene in Switz-
erland. Jacob Jensen in placing the
paintings in the window announced
that they were for sale to any one who
desired them and it is possible a
painting can be made to order for the
more fastidious if their wants are
made known to Marinus.
Another picture by Mr.. Jensen
which has caused much comment dur
ing its stay in the bakery window, is
the pencil drawing of the proposed
new American Legion home which is
due to rise in construction in the

agree on even a patch-wOrked lib
eral' program. Senators Borah and
Norris and Governor Pinchot of Penn
sylvania are mentioned as new party
chieftains. While the average hard
boiled political leader contemplates
the proposed new party lineup as a
day-dream, they realize that anything

taking precautions to insure travel at

thorized for the spring and summer
months. Several strong-minded leg

ance of junketeering but their COM

favorite tours, the cost of which is
betrayed by the government, include
Alaska Tin the summer) the National
Parks and the islands under control
of the United States. The publication
in detail of the expenses of a Senate
investigating committee is expected
to curb the itch for travel as the data
furnishes political capital which may
be used to show legislators live the

footing the bills.
Several organized groups are exert
ing pressure on Congress for action
on current legislation in which they
have an interest. A determined GROUP
of oil operators from Oklahoma, Kan

are waging battle for cash payments
to those holding adjusted service GER

against bill which would affect their
methods of doing business through
price regulation. Committees dare not
deny these petitioners hearing. The
word has been passed in some quar-
tiers to bottle up these bills in COM
mittee so that special session will
not be required. Business leaders are
particularly DESTROYS that Congress
shut up shop and go home until De-

POiSOnS Himself.
Josef E. Hedin, an engineer in the
firm and widely known within the in
dustry, committed suicide by taking
poison the other day. He was born in
Oslo, Norway, received his technical
training in that city, and had had an
unusually brilliant career in the
United States; Mr.. Hedin is reported
to have Leen a drug addict, and this
fact apparently prompted his wife to
obtain a divorce from him about a
year ago. Dependency was given as
the most probable motive for this
tragic interruption of an otherwise
eminently successful life.
Sign of the Times.
The Swedish postmaster general
publishes statistics that show con-
spicuous decrease in the number of
Christmas money orders sent to Swe-
den from Swedfsh-Americans. In 1929
there were $3.50 money orders sent
over there for the holidays; in 1890
the number had gone down to 4S,SOS.
In other words, the total amount ag-
gregated about $175,OOO less in 1880
than in 1929.
Going Back.
Professor Ingvar B. Wedervang of
Oslo who has been in this country
for several months, returned to Nor
way the other day, and in a farewell
interview expressed his admiration of
American institutions and economic
activities. During his sojourn in this
country Prof. Wedervang has given
lectures at Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
New York, Chicago, and Northwestern
universities, and he has also studied
modern American business economics.

ALL LIVESTOCK
SELLS LOWER
Cattle Trade Extremely Dull and 25
to soc Down; Hogs Break Another
10 to 15c; Lambs Sharply Lower.

(By U. s. Bureau of Agricultural Eco.
nomcs and Minnesota Department of
Agriculture)
South st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 2, 1881:
Unseasonally mild weather, which is
hampering the market for all dressed
meats along with a generous supply
of live loadings for the opening of
this week, found packer buyers in an
extremely bearish mood and insisting
on sharply lower prices. Declines in
the cattle division measured unevenly
25 to SOC on all classes, bulk of the
steers turning from $6.75 to $500,
some few cars to $3.50. Fat cows
dropped to a new low of 1918 to $3.50,
butcher heifers bulking at $500 to
$500, with cutters from $2.75 to $3.25,
bulls going at $3.50 to $500, while
vealers centered mainly at $3.50 and
$1,000.
The hog market worked 10 to 15c
lower than Saturdays average, hogs
scaling from 140 to 200 pounds selling
largely at $7.25 to $40, 200 to around
$40 pound weights going at $500 to
$7.25, numerous droves selling mixed
at sos, while 240 to $40 pound butch
ers sold over range of $6.40 to $500,
sows largely from $3.50 to $500, pigs
holding steady at S7.75.
The fat lamb market broke 35 to
soc, shippers taking bulk of the lambs
at SS.25 to $S.35, one load reaching
$3.50, while packers were bidding
from $500 to $S.25 on comparable
grades. Throwouts sold at $3.50 to
$500, fat ewes ruling weak at $500
to S4.25.
Feeders and StOckers.
Feeder and stocker cattle followed
the trend of the fed steer trade, most
sales appearing Csc lower with thin
stockers going largely at $500 to $500,
fleshy kinds to $3.50 to SIPS. Stock
pigs held steady at $7.75 while feeder
lambs going at $7.25 to $3.50 look
around 25c lower, two cars of mixed
fat and feeder offerings selling to

In the course of the interview he ex-
pressed the opinion that American in
dustrialists and American politicians
probably have been a little too pro-
foundry occupied with their own dom
este problems to obtain correct
view of the effect exerted upon Ameri-
can economic life by general world
conditions.
