Mr.. Gay Leaves Thought.
Alva Gay of Hinckley, who has re-
sided in Pine county for 10 years
told of his experiences in the war
when he served 10 months in France
Mr.. Gay told of his trip over there
and said they felt perfectly safe when
the ship was tossed about in rough an
stormy seas because they knew that
in a cabin on the ship was a man
who with his charts was capable OF
guiding 1t to shore. The speaker Xix.
ened this with the national govern
ment, saying that the ship of state
had withstood lot of stormy periods
and had come through them safely
due largely to the fact that it had
been wisely charted in the beginning
The people all should feel safe, said
Mr.. Gay, because the ship of state
was so we'll built. What can one point
to that the United States has done
in any war that was not done fol
the good of humanity? asked the
speaker and continued by saying Its
great thing to be an American
There have been no serious social dis.
turbances here thus showing that
good character was built into the con.
stitution of the United States. Ir
commenting upon war, Mr.. Gay saiG
that history books should be printed
telling more of the horrors of war in.
stead of speaking so much of the
glories. If this were done, there
would be no war.

ONE ACCIDENT
PROVES FATAL
Joe Hick1, Hinckley Youth,
Killed By Gun in
His Own Hands.
Oscar Anderson, Lumber
Yard Manager, Hinck-
ley, Shot in Leg.

The Hinckley community was
shocked by two hunting accidents in
that vicinity Tuesday afternoon and
both involving local people. The ac-
cident to Joe Hickl, Is, was fatal and
Oscar Anderson, 43, was injured in
the leg.
Joe Hickl, who is the second oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hickl,
living in Hinckley township, miles
left the farm alone with a shot gun
shortly after the noon hour. Not re-
turning home later in the afternoon
the father went to look for him and
found the body beside a stump with
bullet wound in the abdomen. The
shot gun had fallen to the opposite
side of the stump. Presumably the
young man had stood on top of the
stump to look around for deer and
either the gun slipped out of his
hands and was discharged when the
hammer struck the stump, or he
slipped and fell with his body on the
gun. The full charge entered the
few minutes from loss of blood. The
body was cold when the father came
upon the scene of the gruesome &C
cident about o'clock. The body was
taken to the Folsom undertaking par
lOrs and there prepared for burial
Young Hickl was born in Hinckley
township on the old home place where
the family has resided for IS years.
He leaves to mourn his sudden pass
ing the parents and three sisters and
four brothers. An uncle and aunt are

The sympathy of friends far and
near goes out to the Hickl family in
their great bereavement, the sudden
shock and the loss of a dear one.
Shot I'm Leg.

Fullerton Lumber Co. yard at Hinck-
ley, was struck in the right leg below
the knee from a stray bullet while
hunting east of Hinckley together
with two friends, Lawrence Sikkink
and John Evans. also of Hinckley,
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Anderson was
carried two miles to the car by his
companions and then rushed to the
Northwestern hospital in Minneapolis.
The bullet shattered the bone some
what but his condition is not con-
sidered serious. He was however,
weak from loss of blood.
Mr.. Anderson came to Hinckley
from Rockford with his family two
years ago, and has since managed
the Fullerton Lumber Co. yard there.

DEATH CALLS AN
ASKOV FARMER
Last Rites Held for Frederik Her.
manSen Who Passed Away Fol.
lowing Short Illness.

After an illness of six weeks, Fred
erik Juhl Hermansen passed away at
the University hospital, Minneapolis,
Saturday afternoon, Nov. ~. He was
taken to the hospital just six days
before his death which was caused
by hardening of the arteries and kid
ney trouble. On the second day of
his confinement in the hospital it was
definitely stated that there was very
little hope for him, and due to this
fact his brother. Sophus, remained
with him until the final summons
came.
The body was brought to Askov
Sunday and on Monday afternoon the
funeral was conducted at the local
church with the Rev. A. e. Frost Of
floating. Niels Serritslev. Hans Abra-
hansen, Jens Abrahamsen, Geo. C. H.
Jensen, Lars P. Jensen and Hans
Lunde were pallbearers and the body
was given its final resting place on
the Danish Brotherhood lot in the
local cemetery.
Frederik Juhl Hermansen was born
on the 23rd of January, 1882, at
Aeroskobing, Denmark, and came to
the United States in 1914, settling at
Ord, Nebr., where he worked until
1918 when he and Sophus came to
Askov and located on the farm north
east of town where they have been
since. During their stay in Askov the
twin brothers have patched. with Fred
Gas he was commonly called) always
Officiated as the cook. He had large
circle Of friends here who called on
him at least once a year-on his
birthday-when he always served a
six o'clock dinner to all visitors.
That birthday party was an annual
event when the home was crowded
to capacity-a stag party participated
in by 80 to 40 friends and neighbors.
Fred was very fond of reading Danish
literature but also followed current
events through the daily press and
magazines. He was a devoted user
of his native language and a staunch
supporter of the Danish Brotherhood,
being librarian of the local lodge and
also in charge of the lunches which
are served after each lodge meeting.
His services in that organization will
be greatly missed.
In addition to Sophus, there is one
more brother in the United States.
Herman Hermansen of Hastings, Nebr.
He and friend, r. Nordseth, came
to Minneapolis Sunday and were here
for the funeral Monday after which
they left again via auto for their
home, the round trip being 1900

mark, and also his step-mother.
The whole community in and
around Askov join in extending SYM

their loss of a true and faithful

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDVOLD

Although the much heralded inter-
natl nal conference for the reduction
and limitation of ornaments tempo
rarily adjourned it's meetings in &C.
neva OH July % with pretty vague
resolution to the effect that the dele
cations really waited disarmament,
nothing further has been done. Nor
has the conference reconvened; no
body seems to know when. and if, it
will, although whispers are heard that
negotiations may be resumed i'm Feb
ruary or March, next year.
But independently of the conference
whose only acc mplishment was a
statement reaffiiming what everyone
obviously knew beforehand other
moves in the direction of gradual dis
armament have been made, and are
still in progress.
German Attitude.
Notable, probably far-rea aching in
its effect, was the German claim for
arms equality advanced in September:
If not the other powers would begin
arm, without regard to the prohibit
tory clauses of the Versailles peace
treaty. But the Berlin government
made it clear, on the other hand, that
it was not particularly DESTROYS of
expanding its ornaments, for the pri-
mary object of the move was to exert
moral force on all signatories of the
Versailles treaty for the purpose Of
reminding them of the seemingly for
gotten fact that they had solemnly
pledged themselves to begin arms re-
ductiOn. z
Then came President HOOver's state
ment setting forth that if no actual
progress in naval disarmament were
made soon, the United States navy
would be increased until it was on a
par with that of Great Britain.
France Says Something.
Next to join in the International
chorus was France whose premier
said that he believed all professional

GOVERNOR SEEKS
RELIEF LOANS
Would Use 100000 for Forest Relief
Work i'm Northern Counties
of the State.

Governor Floyd B. Olson is in
Washington to ask the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for 100000
loan for relief work in the mining and
numbering regions of the northern
counties of Minnesota.
The governors statement in regard
to the situation follows:
The northern counties of Mime
sofa are practically at the end of their
resources and great human suffering
will result this winter if some outside
relief is not afforded" the statement
said. Both numbering and mining
operations as far as can be deter
mined will be 80 per cent imperative.
County after county has borrowed to
the limit of it's credit for relief and
taking it all in all the situation is
desperate except in very few isO-
lated instances"
The chief executive pointed out that
several committees of representative
citizens of cities in Minnesota, in
Guiding a personal committee appoint
ed by him of which Lotus d. Coffman,
president of the university, is chair
man, have endorsed the proposed pro-
ject. 1t has also received the ap-
proval of the state department of con-
servation, the United States forest
service, and county boards of COM
missiOners.
Plans for Work.
Governor Olson pointed out that the
forest relief work for which the money
is requested will be centered around
cities such as Duluth, Bemidji, Grand
Rapids. Ely, Hibbing, Virginia, Bau-
dette, and similar towns and villages
in the forested region. The actual
field work would be done under the
direct supervision of the district for
ester rangers and the park superin-
tendents of the department of con-
servatiOn. Selection of the men to be
given relief work will be left to the
local communities, cooperating with
the district rangers and park superin-
tendents. Governor Olson stated.

BUTTER MARKET MAY
HAVE STRUCK BOTTOM

The number of cows in Minnesota
was on the increase in 1882, the an
nual survey conducted by the Depart
ment of Minnesota Agriculture dis
closes. Butter production, however,
has not increased in proportion.
The reason for this has not been de-
termined. Despite low prices, the
dairy cow is still the main support of
$4,000 farms in Minnesota.
The survey disclosed that there is
no large surplus of butter in storage,
which indicates that the butter prices
should not dip much below the pres
ent market price.

Everyday Psychology
Mental Formations.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.

Your mind never rests. Awake or
asleep, you keep up an endless search
for some new way of making life more
interesting or more satisfactory. One
way to describe all this mental life is
to take note of what, for lack Of bet
ter name, has been called formations.
The most important Of all these men
tai formations are commonly called day
dreams or fantasies. In your day
dreams you are really testing your
ideas; trying to see how they might
work II put to an actual test. There
Is something exhilarating about this
mental activity. Children especially
take great delight in it. For one thing
they have practically the whole world
of exploration before them. Having not
yet tested many of the realities of life,
they have no conscious qualmS about
the matter. II one fantasy goes to
pieces on the rocks Of reality they soon
hit upon a new formation and proceed
to test some other section Of the un-
known world of reality.
Adults don't say much about their
mental formations. probably because in
adults these formations are generally
automatic in origin. Now and then
some painful memory out Of the reali-
ties of the past or present halts the
procedure Sometimes the shock thus
sustained will be felt for hours. We
recognize these aftermaths as moods OF
vague feelings for which We cannot ac-
count.

are now better off than the girls who
didn't. Miss Morgan said she based
this information on replies to lot of
questionnaires.
That's the trouble about question
naires. They're apt to LEAD you wrong
l know plenty of girls today who
saved money during the good times
who are actually worse off than the
girls who spent every cent they earned
Does this sound queer to you? Well,
this Is how it happened
Many girl took fixed sum out of
her pay envelope and followed her
boss supposedly great wisdom investing
that money in sound and solid"
stocks and bonds Today her solid
stocks and bonds don't pay any divi-
dends. SO she gets no income out of
them. And even worse, their prices
have fallen to pieces.
Being out Of job she has to sell
them for what she can get. which is
very little, SO that she has lost her
savings i'll the air.
Shes worse off than the girl who
didn't save, because the eXtravagant
girl had some fun out of her money
while she was spending 1t. And some
OF the girls put their savings in banks
which failed. They can sit and look at
these worthless bank books and think
OF all the good times they might have
had, the clothes they might have
bought and all the creams and perma-
nent waves they gave up.
Many girl invested in the stock of
