STORMS, HEAVY WIND
DO MUCH DAMAGE

For the third time Wednesday
the Askov eommuAity was visited
by a heavy d0Wnpour of rain ac-
cOmpanied by hail and lightning.
At about eight O'clock In the
evening the third storm travelling
on the wings of a terrific wind
swOOped over Askov carrying with
it torrents of water and consider
able hail. One of the large plate
glass windows i'm the ThOrvaAd
Andersen Shoe Store was COM
pletely blown out and two men
were barely able to hold the front
door shut.
A large barn of 80 by 40 feet
dimensions one mile east of town
on the Lars Rasmussen place was
demolished and the lumber blown
all over a rutabagaofieh and into
the yard of Johannes SOrensen
about so rods east. Mr.. Rasmus.
sen and his son, Joe, were milk
ing i'm the barn at the time and
due to the fact that high CO.
ment wall supported the barn
they were unframed as were all
the stock. The barn was covered
by windst0rm insurance but the
windmill which also suffered dam
age was not.
A silO belonging to Hans Jen-
sen north of AskOv was blown
down as was a wall of the garage
on the Johannes SOrensen place
east of the village. The chimney
of the Assembly hall in the vii
lage suffered the vent of the wind
and some Of the brick penetrated
the roof. Numerous trees and
flag poles in the community were
blown down and smaller damage
was done, but the telephone serv.
ice was not impaired.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

''The Blind Man" is, in a just pub
lished American edition, the second
installment of a six-volume saga, the
People of Juvik," by the Norwegian
novelist, Olav Dunn, whom Sigrid
Undset, herself a winner of the lit
erary Nobel prize characterizes as
"the present Norwegian candidate fol-
the prize" The book was originally
written in the vernacular Lands
mail" which is gradually becoming
an important medium of literary ex-
preston in Norway although its
adaptibility is still being holly con-
tested by the people of that country
Many critics have said about Dunn
that he may be rated one of the very
greatest prose writer's of Norway al
the present time.

ON WASHINGTON Letter
BY " ODaley

Washington, May 27-Agitation for
special session of Congress has fall
len on deaf ears. The President has
made it known that he prefers to al
low business to adjust itself rather
than foist legislative panaceas on cap
ital and labor. The feeling prevails
in industrial quarters that a meeting
of the national legislature before the
regular term next winter would be
nothing short of a calamity. This
attitude is explained in the uncer-
tainty which always dominates in
dustry with Congress threatening re-
straints or tax reforms. The demand
for an extraordinary session seems to
have had its origin in a perpetual
Mckers group of politicians so that
little weight is attached to their calls
for gathering of the Congressional
clans.
There is no secret of the fear mani
fest that special session would con-
centrate on the question of unemploy-
ment Insurance or a dole. A compul-
sorry system of unemployment insur-
ance has been recommended in Con-
gress and gained considerable sup
port at the last session. The pro-
posal to have the government give
the idle a fixed sum at regular in
tervals is generally repugnant to all
classes. There is no doubt that the
experiences of the last two years will
rivet attention of industry on volun-
tary unemployment protection for
faithful workers. The whole subject
is in nebulous stage and details must
be worked out In fairness to. the en-

ployer and the employee, and, Of
course. the state. Meanwhile, the
various groups, including some labor
leaders, are advising the legislators
to remain~quie and keep hands off.
There is a wealth of meaning in
the statement of Matthew Vol, vice
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in a talk before bankers
here this week American labor is
probably in for the fight of its life"
Mr.. Vol referred to the unions siren
uous efforts to combat wage cuts in
all industries. Organized labor ex-
lists because of its ability to obtain
and maintain high wage levels for
the membership. If wages fall the
effectiveness of organization is secuted
and reflected by designations and fail
ure to pay dues.
1t is said that government officials
and executives of the labor groups
are cognizant that wage scale adjust
ments are inevitable. Their problem
is to settle the matter with a mimi
mum of friction and unrest Even
the all-powerful railway workers un-
ions have read the writing on the
wall. They are hopeful that plans
for freight rate increases will be car
ried out so that the railroads may
operate ON high average. Opinions
in the nations capital are to the eff
feet that freight rate advances, if any,
will be negligible and economies in
operation must be reached by various
means including the scaling down of
wages, and that spells trouble" ~.

CREAM men
ARE HONORED
District No. 2 of CreamerieS~
Holds Meeting and
Banquet.
j. F. Hay, Brandt and 9th
ers are Speakers; Trophy
Officially Awarded.

The Vendome trophy, won four times
in succession by District No. 2 of the
Land O'Lakes Creameries association
for the highest average score in effici-
ency and workmanship contest, and
given by c. H. Chadbourne, proprietor
of the Vendome hotel in Minneapolis,
was officially awarded to the victors
last Thursday at Rush City at one of
the most successful summer meetings
of the association.
An interesting and instructive pro-
gram had been arranged for the oc-
casion and banquet was given to
the victorious creamery operators and
their wives.
Herman R. Berg, chairman of the
district, presided at both meetings.
]. H. Hay, deputy Commissioner of
Agriculture, Dairy and Food, was
principal speaker at the afternoon
session. He stressed the value of CO.
operative creameries for dairy farm
ers stating that farmers in territories
where cooperative creameries exist
are paid considerably more money per
pound of butter than farmers located
where there are none.
Art Rentz, field manager of the dis
trict again emphasized the necessity
of very careful work on the part of
creamery operators and patrons if the
district is to continue it's leadership
in the efficiency and workmanship
contest.
The creamery operators and their
wives were the guests of the district
at the evening banquet in apprecia-
ton of their winning of the Vendome
trophy for the fourth consecutive
time.
John Swenson of the Cloverdale
Creameries, p. e. Robinson of Sand
stone, and Archie NJ. Jones of Prince
ton Creameries gave short talks; and
F. H. Bartlett of the Mora Creameries
expressed the appreciation of the but
termakers to the district for the ban
quet and entertainment.
H. F. Meyer, director of sales at the
Land O'Lakes Creameries, expressed
confidence that the butter market had
reached bottom. He said that while
the market would be irregular 1--WE
will not see Is cent butter; it will be
around rs cents this summer and
higher in the fall and winter
John Brandt, president of the or
ganization, was also optimistic over
the situation, '"The businessmen Of
the Northwest are very fortunate" he
said, Ito be located in territories
where cooperative creameries are
dominant because the prices being
received by their farmer-customer for
butterfat are much more than the
amount the farmers are getting where
the creameries do not exist" He said
that now was the time more than
ever before to back to the limit CO
operative organization.
The Vendome trophy, won four times
in succession by District No. 2, is
awarded each year to the district of
the Land O'Lakes Creameries associa-
ton which has the highest average
score in the efficiency and workman
ship contest. 1t is donated by C.. H.

dome hotel in Minneapolis.

HIGHWAY PATROL
FORCE DOUBLED
Thirty.five New Men Complete Train.
ing and Begin New Duties
on the Road.

Thirty-five new State Highway
Patrolmen will get their first expert
ence on duty this week. And it will
be active duty too, for they will get
on the job just before Decoration day
and many of them will be on the job
twelve or fifteen hours both Saturday
and Sunday, trying to direct the heavy
traffic which always goes with dou-
BILE holiday.
The new patrolmen have been in
school" since early in March, short
ly after the Legislature passed the
bill increasing the personnel of the
patrol from thirty-five to seventy men.
They were selected from more than
1,4OO applicants and have been put
through an intensive course of train
ing. After two weeks of manual
labor, to put them in physical con-
dition and test their stamina, they
have been given courses in observa-
tion, traffic rules, first aid, auto me-
chanics, headlight testing, geography
of Minnesota, English grammar, box
ing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, target prac-
tice, and motorcycle operation.
The training course will be finished
this week, and the men who pass the
tests will take the oath of office and
be given their badges, uniforms and
equipment. There will be no cere-
monies to mark the end of the train
ing course, but the men will go to
work at once.
In most cases the new men will be
paired with older men on the force.
They will be distributed, in all parts
of the state. They will be in uni
form at all times, and there will be
no arrests from ambush. They will
have no fixed stations" but will
move from place to place over their
beats. While routes which carry the
heaviest traffic, will see the patrol
men oftener than light traffic routes,
all of the trunk highways will be
covered frequently.
The aim of the patrol, according
to Earle Brown, chief patrol officer,
is to keep traffic moving Safely"
I'VE want to help motorists observe
the traffic law, rather than try to
catch them breaking it." Mr.. Brown
says. when a driver is stopped by
an officer, he should feel that the
officer is calling his attention to an
error which if repeated will sooner
or later lead to an accident. We do
not want to make arrests unless we
are compelled to-"
