COPPER PRODUCERS
DISCUSS TRADE ILLS
Leaders of World Industry Are
Considering Drastic Curtail-
ment of Production,
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. october 22.-Ways and
means of solving the worlds copper
problems are under discussion in New
York by international leaders of the
industry.
1t was a matter of group converse
tons, however. and the date or place
OF a formal conference have not vet
been determined.
The only point on which there seems
to be consensus, it was said, is that
further curtailment Of copper produc-
ton is necessary If the industry is to
be rescued from the depression which
Is now gripping it.
While the cutting of production tc
the bone is recognized as a primary
remedy, methods, proportions and other
details are expected to meet various
divergent views. The Europeans have
already indicated they are ready tc
accept a 40 per cent capacity curtail-
ment. Some of the largest American
producers. who style themselves 'radi-
Gals" believe that at least a so per
cent cut Is necessary. Other United
States leaders differ from these senti-
mentS.
Today the Copper Export Associa-
ton Is giving luncheon for the for
Club, at which there is expected to be
much informal discussion of the pres
ent situation. Group conversations, ii
was said, may continue for some time
and 1t Is hoped that eventually a con-
crete plan may be agreed upon which
can be placed before a formal confer
ence.

CASH PURCHASES.

NEW YORK, october % Especially -
The public. is buying for cash many
small amounts CT stocks from banks as
well as brokers. A survey of this situa-
ton shows that persons who never be-
fore have had the thrill of getting di-
vidend check are placing many orders
through banks. One institution that
never carries any stocks or bonds for its
cwn account said that this newly-in-
vestment minded public appears to nave
some information about the shares they
are purchasing. Banks that have been
fortunate enough to attract the little
fellow with his cash for securities are
endeavoring to keep him informed about
his investments, for these institutions
appreciate any increase in personal
contacts.

FRENCH GOLD RESERVES
TOUCH RECORD FIGURE

BY the Associated Press.
Gold Reserves of the Bank of France
scared to new high record Of 60500,-
100000 francs during the week ended
october 9, practically all of which came
from the United States.
A cable to the Commerce Department
states the gain for the week was 1885,
100000 francs. 1t added that a further
heavy increase is expected to be shown
when the following weeks statement
Is announced.
Sight deposits abroad increased by
1898, 100000 francs to 1927, 000, 900
francs during the week, while short
term credits abroad rose by $4,000, 900
francs to 10,472, 100000 francs. This
apparently indicated the temporary
earmarking in London of credits so far
repaid by Great Britain for the pos
sible defense of sterling exchange.
Note circulation showed an increase
to the record figure of 81 800, 0OO, 900
francs, rejecting principally a heavy
increase in the amount of commercial
bills discounted. The ratio of gold
cover to sight obligations was little
changed at 5479 per cent.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Vieorous
steps to create a greater demand for
cotton were urged yesterday BY George
A: Sloan, president Of the Cotton Tex
tile Institute In addressing the insti-
tute'S annual meeting.
The circumstances are exceptional
ly IN favor for expanding the uses Of
cotton" he said. THE great interest
In cotton today. so manifest through
out the United States, grows out of the
TACT that there are more than 12,000,-
600 people in the country whose liveli-
hood is dependent on cotton in one
form or another
Let's keep in mind the tremendous
benefits that will come to all in
dustries II we can succeed in building
up greater demand for cotton, which,
IN turn, will promote the economic
welfare of these 10000, 900 people
Developments during the past year
give much encouragement to the belief
that the demand for cotton, in both
new and established markets, can be
greatly increased"

Knud Wefald, who will be one of
the speakers at the Pine County Fair
in Pine City, Friday afternoon, August
IA, is now secretary of the Commits
sion of Administration and Finance,
and formerly represented the Ninth
Minnesota district in Congress. He
was appointed to his present position
in February of this year and has
proved of unusual service to the state.
Mr.. Wefald is student of political
and social economic questions about
whom Lynn Haines, in his Search
light on Congress-" said that in his
(Wefalds) work in Congress he had
not made a single mistake judged
from the progressive point of view.
Few men in the Northwest have made
a closer study of the farm crisis and
it is on this topic that he will speak
at the Pine County Fair.
Mr.. Wefald served in the lower
house of the Minnesota legislature
during the sessions of 1913 and 1915
and was a member of Congress from
March 4, 1923, to March 4, 1927. He
was elected to Congress on the Farm
er-Labor ticket.

TALKS ON INCOME
TAX AT DEERWOOD

Representative Hjalmar Petersen
and his brother, v. A. Petersen, were
at Deerwood, in Crow Wing county,
Tuesday, at which time the former
gave a talk on the subject of income
taxes at Farm Bureau picnic near
Deerwood. He urged the passage of
the constitutional amendment by the
voters in the election of 1882 and
stressed the necessity of shifting more
of the tax burden from general prop
erty onto incomes where the tax will
not be felt so much. On the return
home Wednesday they drove by way
of Brainerd to visit the Askov Con-
struction Co. crew who are now busy
eXcavating for the large new high
school building that they are to erect
there Twenty teams and many men
were busy moving dirt.

Wda(hQtonLe Letter
By " ODaley
> NroHal EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION ysc,Ak

Washington, August 12-Despite
denials in Administration circles, the
conviction is becoming rather general
around Washington that President
Hoover will call an extra session of
congress about November Is. The
Administration has been opposed to
an extra session because it would
have to wrestle just so much longer
with the radical demands. One of
the most difficult problems with re-
gard to a special session is to de-
wise ways and means for keeping Con-
gress actively engaged on the program
for which it is called.
The purpose in calling the legisla-
tors together three weeks before the
regular session would be to discuss
unemployment and the moratorium,
upon which action must be taken by
December Is, when the next debt pay
ments from abroad are due. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Hoover will have
plenty of votes with which to get his
moratorium across, because LaFo'-
lette, Norris and other mainstays of
the Progressives will be found in this
group. They have large German pop
ulations in their states and are not
likely to do anything to hold up "as-
sistance to Germany"
On the House side the matter of
organization must be taken care Of
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1931-08-13

before any matters are considered.
This may entail little delay, but not
enough to prevent the passage of leg
islation. The trouble is anticipated
from the Senate, as it is believed a
certain group intends to use the mora
forum as bargaining medium. This
bargaining group" will unquestion-
ably be able to hold up ratification
during the special session, not that
they want to defeat the moratorium,
but because they want to use it as a
basis for their demands for domestic
relief.
One of the visitors to the White
House last week was John HOLSTER.
Cincinnati lawyer, Republican can
didate in the election to fill the House
vacancy caused by the death of Speak
err Nicholas Longworth. Mr.. HOLSTER
is running as wet" and it is UNDER
stood that Mr.. Hoover will support
him. Naturally this has been the SUBJ
ject of considerable speculation as to
whether it means a modification of
the Chief Executives dry views. This
will be the first time the President
has given support to a wet candidate.
1t will be recalled that the Admin
stration sought to defeat Senator
Dwight Morrow when he ran as wet
in New Jersey. Control of the House
may turn upon the outcome in this

ASKOV MAN LOSES
FINGER BY RIP SAW

T. N. Thomson, Askov lumber
dealer, suffered the misfortune of
losing one finger and getting the
thumb and second finger on his
left hand lacerated by circular
rip saw in his lumber shed early
Tuesday forenoon. Mr.. Thomson
was ripping a piece of lumber
when in some manner his finger
was drawn into the whirling saw
with the result that it was COM
pletely cut off between the
knuckle and the first joint. No
bones in the thumb or second fin
ger were injured by the saw.
After getting injured Mr.. Thorn
sen stopped the saw, climbed into
his car and drove up town to the
doctor. Only after he had alighted
from his car and was entering the
doctors office did he weaken and
was helped to a chair. The in
jured hand was dressed and Askov
folks see Mr.. Thomson around as
usual only a wee bit pale from
the painful ordeal.

HINCKLEY MAN DIES
WITH HEART AILMENT

John Jepson, an old resident of
H1nckley, was found dead in his yard,
last Friday afternoon. He had been
troubled recently with his heart and
the cause of his death was from this
ailment. Coming to Hinckley in 1895
he made his home here continually
since that date. Through thrift and
economy he became Independent finan-
cially and was very successful farm
er. He leaves to mourn him a niece
living near Rush City, and a nephew,
whose home is in the west. The fun
eral was held from the Swedish Luth-
eran church Wednesday afternoon,
The Rev. johnson having charge of
the burial service. The burial was

William A. Anderson who will be
one of the speakers at the Pine Coun-
ty Fair in Pine City on Friday, Au-
gust 18th, was elected mayor of Min
neapolis by the largest majority given
a man for this office in the history
of the city. Mr.. Anderson was drafted
for the office by a convention of pro-
gressives at meeting held March
18th because of his we'll known pro-
gressive viewpoint, his character and
fine sincere personality, also his
broad business experience which made
him an ideal candidate of labor and
Independent business men.
Since his election and Inauguration
Mayor Anderson's order to clean up
the city has given good results in the
elimination of gambling dives. His.
letter last week to President Hoover
demanding national conference of
mayors to discuss the unemployment
crisis and advocacy of a national
leadership show also that he has an
understanding of the most grave prob
lem affecting the happiness of our cit
liens.
Pine County is fortunate in obtain
ing Mayor Anderson as one of the
speakers for the fair. He will have
worth while message.

about to rise for the 44th annual Pine
county fair to be held in Pine City
today, Friday and Saturday, Aug. Is,
IA, and Is.
Present indications are that the

cations point to its being one of the
most elaborate of any of its kind ever
attempted at county fair.
Big free acts in front of the grand
stand, baseball, good livestock ex-
hibits, midway attractions and a big
dance in the evening of the closing
day should provide entertainment to

HINCKLEY JUNIORS
GOOD IN LEGION B. B.
PLAY IN THE STATE

The American Legion Junior Base
ball championship of Minnesota has
been decided and undecided some two
or three times during the past two or
three weeks and in this manner the
Hinckley team has met with several
tough breaks"
Hinckley played North Minneapolis
at Cambridge Sunday, July 10, and
lost to that team s to 0. Then by
virtue of this victory the Minneapolis
team went into the Tenth District
championship game with Anoka and
defeated that team to be declared
champions to represent the district
at the state tournament at Saltwater
July 26, q and % where they won
the state title. However after the dis
trict tournament at Cambridge it was
found that the Minneapolis team had
some ineligible players and hence
Hinckley was pitted against Anoka to
play for the Tenth District crown.
Hinckley defeated Anoka at Cam
bridge by a score of 8 to 3. Then be-
fore the state tournament North Min
neapolis was reinstated.
Recently Marble, Winona and st.
Paul protested and the Minneapolis
players were again determined inelig-
ible and therefore Hinckley, Tenth
District champions, had to go to much
expense to play St. Paul on a Mime
apolis diamond while Marble and
Winona also had to meet to play for
the state championship. Hinckley
lost and Winona won the champion
ship and is scheduled to represent
the state in the regional tourney at
Park River, N. D., this week. How
ever it is reported that the Mime
apolis team has carried the case to
the national headquarters and the
outcome is looked for with interest.

COUNTY SEAT HAS.
FLOWER EXHIBIT
Community Club Sponsors Excellent
Annual Exhibit; Give Bouquets
to SanatOrium Patients.

The flower show held in Pine City
of the year. Ludwig Mosbaek of
Askov, was the judge and placed the
awards in a very satisfactory manner.
The show was held at the Farmers
and Merchants State Bank under the
auspices of the Pine City Community
club. There was an excellent display
of the flowers now in season, the lead
ing varities being gladiolus, zinnias,
pansies, asters, snap-dragons and dab
las.
Those who showed towers were we'll
rewarded for their efforts as the or
ganization had provided some worth
while prizes. In all there were "a
prizes, all of which had some connec-
tion with flowers. There were IA
genuine Willerklyro ware vases, 20
baskets, Is flower vases, jardinieres,
1 kodak, 2 aluminium water pitchers,
2 new whisk brooms, 2 cartons of soap,
3 complete shaving sets. In addition
to these, there were some bouquets
donated by C. H. Sommer of Rush
City, Holm & Olson of st. Paul, and
the Duluth Floral company. Holm &
Olson also sent an imported vase to
be used as prize and presented beau
tiful bouquets to Mrs. Emma Perkins
and Mrs. Richardson Gray who were
in charge of the show.
Following the show, the flowers
were taken to the Pokegama SAM
forum where they were made into
bouquets and presented to the pa
tients. The community club deserves
considerable credit for having aroused
an interest in the exhibition of flow
ers for there is nothing that deserves
more appreciation than does the beau
ty of flowers.
The officers of the community club
are Mrs. Richardson Gray, president,
Mrs. Philip Masonneuve, treasurer,
and Mrs. Elton Cleaver, secretary.
