WOMAN
DIES SUDDENLY
Mrs. RaSmuS Petersen Came Here In
1907; End Came While About
Her Daily Tasks.

Mrs. Rasmus Petersen, a resident
Of the Askov community for nearly a
quarter of century. passed away
suddenly at her home in the village
last Thursday morning at 10 o'clock,
and the funeral was held Sunday aft
ernoon. She was past 81.
Hansine Petrine Olsen was born at
Hyllested, SHETLAND, Denmark, on Sept.
6, 1864, growing to womanhood in her
native country. She came to America
as a young woman and was for a
number of years matron of the Dan
ish Young Peoples Home at Clinton,
Iowa, before her marriage to Rasmus
Petersen which took place at Tyler,
Mimi. in 1892. After residing at
Tyler a few months they moved to
Minneapolis, living there a few years.
From there the family moved to Err
win. S. D., where they farmed several
years, coming to Askov in the spring
of 1907, and have since resided here.
Just before coming to Askov the en-
tire family spent year in Denmark.
Mr.. Petersen was in the general mer-
chandise business here for 20 years,
the same business that his son, Rich
ard. has just entered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Petersen reared
family of five children. Holger, the
oldest, is in the oil business at Cey-
Ion in Martin county; Karen, a nurse,
is presently in Solvang, Calf, for her
health; Sigrid and Richard, at home;
Rudolph, instructor in a Minneapolis
school: and Skiold. at Ceylon. All
were home for the funeral except
Karen, whose health did not permit
the long trip at this time.
Helpful in Early Days.
In the early days of this commun-
ity when she was younger and strong
er Mrs. Petersen was ever ready to
help friends and neighbors in case of
sickness or wherever she could be
of service, and many folks will re-
member her for the many acts of
kindness. During the past dozen
years she was not so active and prac-
tically all of her time was spent in
the home which was so dear to her
and which she guarded over like
true mother Failing health neces-
STATED her being more quiet and less
active outside of the home. The final
summons Thursday forenoon came al
most without warning, for while at
her daily tasks in the kitchen she
became suddenly ill, sat down, and
within few moments the heart &C
ton had stopped.
Surviving are the husband and five
children besides a host of friends
who will remember this pioneer
woman as good and kind wife,
mother, and friend-one who was
eager to make the path of others more
cheerful and happy. Fred WHITTIER
of Dagmar, Mont, was here to at
tend the funeral as was also Mr.. and

Early Driving On
Ice Nets Ducking

1.-The early bird gets the worm
it's said, but in the case of four Clo-
quet men Sunday morning it was diff
ferent-they received a ducking when
their car went through the ice on
Sturgeon lake. Frank Rabadeau, his
father, brother, and another man by
the name of Miller were in the car
when it ran into an ice crack that
stretches across the lake. The back
of the car was completely submerged
in the water but a rear bumper pre-
vented it from slipping down into the
crack.
A wrecking car from Sturgeon Lake
was called to pull the car back upon
the ice and besides the ducking and
a chill no ill effects were suffered
by the occupants of the car.

Speaking to more than 500 sports
men and wild life enthusiasts at the
annual mid-winter banquet and fro
lie of the Gopher Campfire Club at

that Minnesota propagates more game
fish each year than all the other

tensive propagation of game fish has

director stated, until this enviable
position has been reached.
After hearing reports from a ma
Jority of the states" he said, Il have
come to the conclusion that we have
one of the outstanding game and fish
states in the United States. In addi-
ton to our numerous varieties of fish,
we have deer, moose, caribou, bear,
beaver, prairie chickens, pheasants,
sofa veritable paradise for lovers
of the great outdoors" Mr.. Stewart
also outlined some of the major pro-
jects now under way in his division

1886 TURNIP CROP;
FARMER GETS $4.69

You can't get blood out of a
turnip," is an old expression and
neither can you get money, if one
is to judge by a transaction re-
Gently experienced by an Ontario,
Canada farmer. when he shipped a
carload of turnips to a New York
commission dealer. The story
taken from a labor paper follows:
"T. G. Scythes, Stroud county
trucker, received a check for $4.69
covering his profit for a carload
of turnips shipped to New York
commission dealer. That didn't
cover the cost of hauling them to
a railroad siding.
Freight, tariff duty and COM
mission came to $331.31. The farm
er got what was left-$4.69."

BOhr Declines.
Some time ago the Leland Stanford
University, California, invited Pro-
fessor Harald Bohr, internationally
famous Danish mathematician, to be-
come member of it's faculty; the ar
rangement suggested was that Profess
sor Bohr should spend every other
year at the Leland Stanford and every
other at the University of Copenhagen,
of whose faculty he now is a prom
inent member. Mr.. Bohr has, how
ever, felt it advisable to decline the
Californian offer with thanks. Har-
aid Bohr is brother of the still more
famous DR.. Niels Bohr, Nobel prize
winner, whose work in the field of
physics has been described as moth
ing less than revolutionary.

EGYPTIAN WOMEN MAY
 HOLD GOVERNMENT JOBS

CAIRO, Oct. 14.--A new victory for the feminist movement has been recorded by the Egyptian cabinets decision to admit women to govern ment service.
 They will be allowed to act only as bookkeepers and stenographers, but this marks a long step in Moslem country which has hitherto confined it's women within home walls.
 The press comments on the change are not uniformly favor able. Parti u larly an important Christian paper, a mouthpiece of business circles, criticises it on the ground that girls of the educated classes will be tempted to forsake marriage for the new career, where as Egypt needs educated mothers.

 The candy making experiment is a development of his process for making wood into sugar for feed- ing to pigs. For the animals, the sugar is mixed with potato cake and bean flour.
 By the synthetic process 65 per cent of the wood is turned into sugar, a coarse, yellow powder. This is the substance used in pig feed. But Bergius says it can be re- fined over again and improved.

HOME FEEDING URGED AS HELP TO GERMAN IDLE.
Unemployment Pro bl e m Gives Rise to Brand
 New Inspiration

BERLIN, Oct. IA. = Germany's unemployment problem is the in- spiration for an eating campaign.
 Proponents of the plan say that many of the 4,250000 idle workers can be given jobs if their fellow citizens will eat German food in- stead of the millions of dollars worth of foreign products imported annually
 They point out that imports of food and manufactured art ic ] es which could be produced in Ger many totalled last year $601 ,623 900.
 Would Ban Foreign Eggs
 Most damaging in the eyes of these propagandists is the neces- sity for importing dairy products. Foreign butter, eggs, cheese and milk accounted for $177,654O0O of the 1880 bill.
 They add that importation Of ether farm products, fruit, vege- tables and meat, reached almost as high figure, being valued al $176 ,459 ,000. This brings the amount chargeable to foodstuffs to about 60 per cent of the country's whol; import bill, all of which food might be raised here.
 It is argued that by retaining this money at home and by em' ploying a rotating system on farm jobs, German agriculture could b; revived in one crop season.
 Tariff SweIls Loss f Importations of timber and ma chinery, no better than are avail able within Germany's borders, ar set at $1OO, 100000 more.
 Besides there is the angle tha behind Germany's tariff wall thes same products would have an en hanced value of from 10 to 20 pc cent, making the real loss to Ger man agriculture and industry clos to $750,OO0,000.
