For years Mrs. Hearst, who
died in 1919 at the age of II,
had been interested in education
and had contributed generously
to numerous schools and colleges.
In Washington alone, she estab-
lished three kindergartens at a
time when education of the pre-
school child was an almost un-
heard-of-th thing. She also estab-
liShed a Kindergarten in San
Francisco.
A training school for teachers
in Washington and a huge en-
dowment for the University of
California we're among her many
contributions to the cause of
education.

MAY GET
DEMOCRATIC
POSITION
Former Committeeman Seen
Likely for Old Post on
National Body

Howard Bruce will probably
be renamed to fill Maryland s
vacant place on the Democratic
national committee, according
to party leaders here.
Bruce resigned his post on the
national committee in 1929 to
accept an appointment to the
State roads commission, but since
his resignation from the latter
body last spring, has resumed
his old duties.
No successor had been elected
in the interim by the Democratic
State central committee to till
the national committee post.
Possibilities of Bruce's re-elec-
ton to the national post have
been increased with the open
candidacy of Governor Ritchie
for the Presidential nomination.
Bruce is known to be close to
Governor Ritchie and since the
governor began his campaign for
the nomination has been increas-
ingly active in party affairs.
While Bruce has not put him
self forward as a candidate for
the committeemanShip. it is un-
derstood he will accept the post
if elected.

School Boards Cooperation
Opens Opportunities to
Group of Women

Since its inception, February
4, the Montgomery County
Emergency Work Bureau mas
found work for $50 applicants,
using the money contributed by
Federal employees living in the
county.
For the week ended WedneS'
day, the payroll will carry 255
names. In addition to this, 80
persons were referred to private
Jobs, such as nursemaid, typist,
mothers helper, laundress, prac.

School Board Aids
In the jobs paid for by the
money donated, 43 women were
placed. Cooperating with the
work bureau was the school board
which used the women in school
cafeterias and the men for car
penter and paint jobs.
Some of the men were put un-
der the supervision of the Mary

500 Make Application
From the total payroll of
$1,094.65, only $50 went for over
head which involved clerical and
Stenographic help. During the
census of unemployed there were
were 500 applicants.
Since the opening of the work
bureau the number has increased
200, which makes it impossible
to place them all unless the jobs
are staggered, which means that
those provided with jobs are
limited in the number of days
which they may work, in order
for the payroll to change each
week, providing relief for the
greatest number of persons pos
sible.

One of the youngest officials in
point of service in Askov village after
Jan. 1, 1888, when he takes office.
will be Ludwig Mosbak, whom the
voters chose last Dec. 9th to serve as
justice of the peace of the village for
two years.
Mr.. Mosb@k is not so young in
years for he will be n on April 13,
1888, but he is young in spirit. The
office of justice of the peace is not
unfamiliar to him for twenty years
ago in the early days of this colony,
before Askov was incorporated as a
village, he served as justice of Part
ridge township. The office is not
classed amongst the most remunera-
tive but it does call for good sound
judgment in settling disputes between
neighbors when such unfortunately
arise. Having lived long and active
the voters chose Mr.. Mosbaek as an
arbiter of controversies. He will Co
operate with Justice j. C. Jensen who
has held office many years and con-
tinues to be reelected. Mr.. Jensen
has tied the nuptial knot for num-
Der of young couples and amongst his
friends is sometimes called the mar
rying Judge.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Like ordinary mortals diplomats
and parliamentarians at this time of
the year take off a few days for cele-
brating Christmas and New Years,
and seemingly forget their usual wor-
ries and cares about the troubles that
continue to beset weary world. His
tory seems to pause for brief mo-
ment just at the threshold of a new
year, but the unsolved problems re-
statesmen and lawgivers to come
back from the festive boards and de-
vote their more or less expert atten-
ton to the task of attempted solution.
No pride can fill the minds of the
men responsible for the guidance of
world affairs during the year now
ending, for one who candidly observes,
in retrospect. what has gone on, must
report that disappointment is as deep,
as it is justified by events because of
the ineptitude of statesmen, the flu
tility of their gestures.
Not Much Progress.
When the present year began the
Chinese-Japanese conflict concerning
Manchuria was approaching it's eli
max. All the world protested against
Japanese arrogance, and all the world
protested in vain. Each month
throughout the year the powers have
kept on protesting, have been uttering
threats of many varieties, and Japan
laughed at them all, realizing that
the protests and the threats were just
so many words that would and could
never be backed up by action; Japan
never be able to agree in regard to
procedure against an aggressOr, and
confidently set up puppet state,
ManchukuO, in the heart of territory
her legions had captured from China
Now at the end of the year Japan
remains in Manchuria while the in
ternational organizations established
for the purpose of safeguarding peace
and order, one after the other have
abandoned the task of bringing Japan
to terms.
Looking backward, one finds that
the entire Chinese-Japanese conflict
has been one sorry mess from the be-
ginning to the end of the year.
Downfall Of Disarmament.
Equally disappointing have been
the efforts to achieve results in the
field of international disarmament
Early in February the great interna-
tional conference for the limitation
and reduction of ornaments opened
in Geneva; individually, the powers,
great and small, presented their
plans, largely prompted by their own
national needs or ambitions. and not
a single one was accepted.

Rutabaga Recipes
Should Tempt the
Human Appetite

A speaker said in Askov some
time ago that there is unbounded
territory in the southern states for
the rutabaga market if the people
were informed that there grew
such a vegetable and if its value
was properly advertised to them.
According to reports coming in
from even the southern end of Pine
county, one need not go very far
from the home of the rutabaga to
find people uniformed as to the
quality of this vegetable for table
food This delicacy of the farms
in this section of the county must
be made known to others, mainly
because its producers need more
extensive market and also because
of its wonderful eating qualities.
A good way to do this is in the
form of good tasty recipes calling
forth the various methods i'm which
the rutabaga can be prepared for
the table. There are many diff
ferent ways of preparing it. from
frying to making it into pies.
Therefore the Askov American will
devote some space to a rutabaga
recipe column and housewives, or
husbands, or in fact any one know
ing of a different way to prepare
rutabagas for the table are invited
to send it in in good readable and
understandable form for publica-
tiOn. Recipes will be published in
the order received and as space
permits and should be i'm as few
words as possible. Implications
will not be published. Preference
will be given to the one received
first.

TAX RATES FOR
1882 ARE OUT
Lowered Valuation Causes
Higher Mill Rate in the

Pine City District No. Is
Has Lowest Rate of
41.2 Mills.

The 1882 tax rate for Pine county
has been issued at the court house
and upon which the taxes in 1888 will
be paid. The mill rate remains about
the same in many instances and in
some higher mainly because the valu-
alton has been reduced and partly too
because a certain amount of de-
linquency exists. Only sixteen town.
ships and two villages show lower
mill rate in the 1892 rates than in
1881.
The subdivision of school district
No. Is in Pine City township has the
lowest rate in the new list, having
a total Of 41.2 mills No. 13 in Rock
Creek township is second with 43.3.
Next follows district No. Is in the
same township with 44.3 mills.
Highest i'm Belden Township.
The 1882 Pine county rates show
40 subdivisions with totals of over
100 mills as compared with 3S in the
1891 list School district No. 115 in
Belden township has the highest total
rate. Taxes will be paid there at the
rate of 1854 mills and in No. ga in
the same township 410.3 is the total
rate. The other two districts in Bel
den, Nos. 101 and 10, have rates of
the same amount-391.9 mills. Bonded
Indebtedness and the fact that there
are few settlers in the township have
made the high rate

FARM AND MARKET
BY r. A. TrOvatten
minnesota Agriculture, Dairy an


Food Commissioner
In the last % years, states where
grasshoppers have carried on their
depredatiOns have had crops destroyed
to the amount of $25.OOO,OOO. In Ne
braska and South Dakota alone in
1881 hoppers took toll amounting to
100000 from the hard-put farmers.
This vast amount of damage could
be prevented by steps which, it is
estimated, would only cost $4,000 a
year.
In Minnesota in 1892 we were ready
for the grasshOppers. Consequently,
crews were organized and poison bait
on hand with which to combat the
costly pests. As result MinnesOta's
hopper invasion did not do anywhere
near the damage which might have
occurred had not the farmer and this
department been aware that a grass
hopper invasion was threatening.
The 1882 plague might have been
entirely averted had we known that
in the winter of 80 and 81 grass
hoppers' eggs were lying under the
soil in great numbers. But being
unaware of this condition, the pests
Matched out in the summer of 81 in
plague proportions and proved very
costly to the farmers of the state.
Preventative steps in the spring of
1881 might have headed the invasions
of 1881 and 3d.
For $4,000 expended annually by
the federal government for a fall and
winter survey of regions where hop
pers had been reported the year be-
fore, invasiOns could be headed before
they became invasions.
This department has asked Senator
Henrik Shipstead to take action at
Washington to obtain a $4,000 APP
preparation for an annual grasshopper
survey of states visited by the wiry-
legged destrOyers.
The program suggested by us is
that this sum be turned over to the
federal department of agriculture and
that that bureau conduct the surveys,
which would be more efficient than to
have the bureaus of the various states
doing the work.
These annual Investigations of
grasshOpper conditions would show
where grasshopper outbreaks might
be expected and they could be ended
before they received start. Expert
ence has taught us that it takes from
two to three years for grasshOppers
to attain horde proportions. 1t is our
hope that congress will realize the
seriousness of this matter and desig-
nate sum for grasshOpper proven
ton, which would not have to be any
larger than that expended for potato
beetle control.
Minnesota is conducting a grass
hopper egg survey of it's own this WIN
ter. A. G. Ruggles, entomolOgist of
this department, is in charge.

tion from high school. She attended
Grand View College in Des Moines,
Iowa, one year. after which she re-
turned to Minnesota to study at the
University of Minnesota where she
was graduated receiving a Bachelor
of Science degree. Positions were
scarce but due largely to her enter
prising character Gudrun was for
tunate in securing a position at the
public library in Des Moines as first
assistant in the catalog department
in the fall of 1880. During the past
summer she was promoted to acting
head of her department following the
death of the head cataloger. Mrs.
Jensen is affiliated with the Des
Moines Library club and the Beta
Sigma Phi national social educational
sororiety, having been president of
the. Iowa Gamma chapter the past
year.
Mr.. Jensen is the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jens Jensen of Sidney, Mont.
He attended Dana College in Blair,
Nebr., for one year, but transferred
to st. Olaf College at Mortified,
Mimi. where he was a member of
the church choir and also affiliated
with the Science club and Kappa Del
ia literary society. Upon graduation
the degree of Bachelor of Arts was
conferred upon him and he became
instructor in the high school at Brow
erville. In the fall of 1881 he came
to Askov and since then has been
science and mathemati instructor in
the local high school.
Monday morning following the we'd
ding Mr. and Mrs. Jensen left on a
wedding trip via automobile to Sid
ney, Mont, to visit Mr.. Jensen's par
ents and sisters. They will return
the first of January and go to Des
Moines for few days. Mr.. Jensen
will then return to AskOv and con-
tinue his school work, while Mrs. Jen-
sen, for the time being, will resume
