Hedge Setting Light
Cotton during early trading
had a steady tone, hedge selling
so much in evidence on Thurs
day, was comparatively light and
instead of being general, came
through two or three of the large
spot houses.
A fair trade demand formed
the principal support at the
opening. This included the do
mestic and the continental trade.
Brokers who act for the Far
East bought near months.
Local and professional traders
bought. Cooperative brokers sold,
this being attributed to hedging.
There. was some commission
house liquidation.

PAY CUTSASSA|[ED
BY CUSTOMS GROUP
Association Defends Salaries
of u. S. Workers in Appeal
to congressman.

Members Of Congress who are on
various committees particularly inter-
ested in the question Of salaries OF Gov
ernment employees, including appropria-
tions, civil service and expenditures In
the executive department, today re-
ceiyed a long statement from the men,
hers of the National Customs Service
Association submitting reasons for op-
posing anv legislation to reduce salaries
of Federal employees.
George L. Connell of the New York
CUSTOM House is president Of the asso-
citation and Harry L. Robinson of the
Baltimore Customs House Is financial
secretary treasurer OF the customs
Service Association.
Objection Summarized.
In summarizing its objection, the as
sociation says that if such wage cut
plan is made effective it will:
"l) Increase distress already so
widespread by taking from circulation
the buving power of the amount Of
these reductions. This procedure Is not
only contrary to all sound economic
principles, but. as all economists are
agreed will act to further put off the
plan of financial recovery.
"(2) 1t will set an example to or
ganizations in private enterprise per-
haps further to reduce their pay roll,
thus continuing endless, vicious circle
of wage cut. unemployment and a
further reduction of buying powers Of
those receiving wages.
"(3) It will tighten the burden of the
taxpayers very little because of the very
small amount in total which would be

saved. In this connection It must be
remembered that the tax burden due to
Federal employees salaries has already
been lightened considerably during the
past two years and, of course, the same,
will apply to the impending fiscal years
budget.
Retrenchment Explained.
"This has been accomplished by a
policy of retrenchment which has with
held all salary promotion during this
time, except statutory increases, and
has also resulted in the abolitionl OF all
positions made vacant through them
or resignation.
THE net result of this retrenchment
has been a reduction annually in all

DOCTORS WARN
OF TRICHINOSIS
MEAT DANGER

The practice of buying whole hogs
and beeves for family use prompts a
trichinosis warning from physicians of
the Minnesota State Medical associa-
tion today.
Shortage of money has caused
many people to buy large quantities
of meat for home use who never cured
nor prepared, it for the table before, y
the doctors say in a bulletin issued
today.
They do not wish to discourage the
practice. But they issue a special
warning to all these thrifty people
that pork, especially, is quite likely
to be infected with a parasite called
the trichina and that special care is
necessary to prepare and cook it safe
ly at home.
Never eat any sausage, even the
home made variety, in which all the
meat has not been thoroughly cooked"
they counsel. All of the pork, es-
pecially should be we'll cured and
cooked before it is fit to eat.
"The trichina is parasite of rats;
hogs acquire it by eating rats. The
parasite, we'll protected and encapsu-
lated, is lodged in the muscle tissue.
1t comes to life when it is taken with
food into the intestinal tract of an
other animal Then it goes through
an entire new life cycle in the course
of which it may cause it's host a
great deal of pain and illness and
possible death. The trichina sets up
an inflammation first in the intestines,
then finds it's way through the blood
stream to muscle tissue anywhere in
the body. There it completes it's
cycle, eventually subsiding again into
capsule where it may remain with
out giving further trouble for an in
definite length of time.
"Trichinosis is a serious matter"
the doctors conclude. "It should not
be overlooked in the face of need
for economy and thrift. Scrupulous
care to cook all meat will prevent the
disease in humans"

MAN BURIED HERE
Passes Away I'm Richmond, Virginia
November 6. Funeral to
be Held Today.

In accOruance Win QlSpdtcneS IN
daily papers of Nov. 20, and through
friends it has been learned that Reg
mar Nortvig died in a hospital at
Richmond, Va, on Nov. 6, under the
name of Harry S. Lund, employe of
Richmond directory company.
Mrs. Nortvig and daughter, Miss
Inger. went to Richmond last week to
identify the body and are now on
their way to Askov with it. The fun
eral will be conducted in Askov at 3
O'Clock this afternoon from the local
church with the Rev. A. E. Frost Of
ficiating and the body given it's final
resting place in the family lot at the
local cemetery. The pallbearers will
be Chris Hansen, Martin johnson,
Rasmus Petersen, H. R. Buck, Louis
Olsen and Carl Miller, all old ac-
Quaintances of the deceased from the
time the family resided here.
Regnar Sadolin Petersen Nortvig
was born in Copenhagen, Denmark.
on the 18th of January, 1874.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nortvig were among
the early settlers of the Askov COM
IL
of 1908. His first job here that sum-
mer was as a helper to Tom Bigham
with the work of moving the old
hotel from along the railroad right
of-way up to the corner now occupied
by the Standard Oil. Co. station. Mr..
Nortvig then built the old Variety
Store building, now occupied by the
doctor, and he and his family lived
there and had barber shop in the
front part of the building A little
later Mr.. Nortvig secured the posi-
ton of station agent where he was
engaged several years until he was
transferred to Grand Rapids and from
there they moved to Minneapolis
Soon after moving to Minneapolis they
conducted a restaurant on South Sixth
St, until about five years ago when
he suddenly disappeared and had not
been heard of since until his death.
Three names and a number found
among his belongings after death
lead to his identification. The names
were Karen, Inger and Erling. The
number was 3112. In addition to this
clue fellow employees had frequently
noticed him consulting Minneapolis
directories. Richmond police sought
information from Minneapolis police
where they learned that among the
list of missing persons was a Regnar
Nortvig of 3112 Washburn Ave-, No.,
and that Karen and Inger were the
names of his daughters, and that
Karen was married to Erling U. Null
Ter. The daughters, son-in-law and
wife. Augusta, still lived at the same
address.
The so-called old timers in Askov
will recall Mr.. Nortvig's ability for
writing humorous songs on short
notice for local social events. He in
jected much mirth into many social
events in the early days of Askov.
Shortly before they left Askov they
purchased the place now occupied by
the Chr. A. Jensen family, in the east
part of the village, which Mr.. Nortvig
named Cherry Grove on account Of
the many cherry trees there at that
time.

A PROCLAMATION

1t is appropriate that the Christ
mas Seal sale opens Thanksgiving
day. For each one of us who has
escaped tuberculosis has much to
be thankful for. And. we can best
express that thanks by helping sup
port the health campaign that pro-
tects us all.
Through the medium of the lit
tie Christmas Seal a continuous
war is being waged against tuber-
culosis. In the past twenty-five
years, the tuberculosis death rate
in Minnesota has been cut in half.
In spite of that, every twenty-four
hours three of our citizens die. Tu-
berculOsis still ranks first as the
cause of death in the age period
of Is to As.
tuberculosis boOmS in hard
times. A threatened rise in the
tuberculosis death rate has already
been shown in various parts of the
country. But thanks to our splen-
did program of the past, Minnesota
has thus far held its own. The
Christmas Seal sale must be made
a success this year so our gains
can be held.
The Christmas Seal gives each
OF us an opportunity to invest
something in life-saving, even if
we can give no more than a penny.
l am asking our citizens to be gen.
erous this year, more generous
than ever before, remembering that
there will be many who cannot
give as much as they did in the
past.
A. HENRIKSEN, Mayor.
