P|NEEXTENS|ON
WORK CEASES
County Agents Office at
Hinck1ey to Close
Aug. 1.
Lack of Funds is Given for
Curtai1ment of Agricu1--
tura1 Service.

The Pine county Farm Bureau met
in the office of the county agent at
Hinckley Monday afternoon and de-
cided to close the office on August
1 and to temporarily discontinue agri-
cultural extension work in Pine
county. This action was prompted by
the state and federal agencies who
have charge of budgeting the money
available for the work along with the
local organization and was made nee
essary because of the lack of funds
This action means that the office Of
the County Agent will be closed. That
there will be no active All Club lead
ership, that farm and home projects
can not be carried on, that there will
be no agency available in the county
to carry on recommended practices
the University State Experiment sta
tions, and United States Department
of Agriculture, of which communities
and individuals have asked for and
adopted in the past.
In January a concerted drive was
put on by community leaders to raise
enough money to carry on the All
Club work, particularly, but also as
sist in farm and home educational
activities. AS result of this drive
over $500 was pledged to carry on
the work. Making it possible at least
through the first part of September,
giving the All Club boys and girls
who qualified. an opportunity to repre-
sent Pine county at the State fair.
Due to the fact that less than half of
the funds pledged have come in at
this time, it was decided to discon-
tinue temporarily, or until funds are
forthcoming for the work.
The Farm Bureau board wishes to
acknowledge the sincere cooperation
and assistance that the communities,
units, and the individuals in the
county have so willingly given, and to
thank those who have given their
time and effort to raising funds for
the continuance of the work this long
and trusts that in the near future
funds will be available to again start
an extension program which it be-
lieves has been and will be of much
value to the welfare of the county.
The Farm Bureau organization will
continue to sell dynamite as it has in
the past and dealers and individuals
who wish to secure it through the
Bureau should get in touch with
either ]. H. Holland, treasurer, at
Pine City, or John White of Hinckley.
Fred B. Willrett, who has been
county agent for the past ten months
having succeeded w. F. Hammargren
who resigned to accept a position as
appraiser for the Rural Credit de-
partment, is uncertain as to what he
will do in the immediate future. Mr..
Willrett has made many friends in the
county during his short stay here and
his absence from among them both
in a social and official way will be
regretted.

friends who sadly mourn her passing.
There was very large attendance at

Tvins, but Born
Different Days

Webster's dictionary says twins"
are offspring born at the same time.
1t is not often when old Webster's
theories can be disproved but an in
cident occurred in Askov the past
week which does not coincide with,
that definition. At 11:45 p. m. on.
Friday, July %, a six and three
fourths pound baby boy was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Mogens Tuxen and 45.
minutes later at 1890 a. M
Saturday, July, %, another weigh
ing five and three-fourths pounds
was born. These babies are twins
but theoretically speaking they will
go through life with birthdays
on different dates. However, regard
less of when their birthdays come the
little fellows are welcome additions
to the Tuxen home.

Standings of the Teams.

The race to the wire in the Pine
County Baseball League is becoming
torrid and some of the leading teams
are falling by the wayside. Sturgeon
Lake alone remains undefeated at the
top of the list in the second half OF
the schedule with three games won
out of as many starts. That team
added Moose Lake to its string OF
victims Sunday when it defeated the
northern nine 10 to 2. Sandstone took
the other leader, Brook Park, from
the top by 9 to beating. Finlay-
son trampled Markville deeper into
the mire of the cellar by administer
ing a defeat of to 4. Willow River

NeW Feature to
Be Started in
The Next Issue

In few days it will be 18 years
since the World war began; at
that time the question was often
asked in the United States:
why should we be interested?
That's Europe's own affair"
But in April, 1917, when the
United States declared war against
the German government, the Amer
lean people realized that the con-
flagration beyond the Atlantic was
of the utmost concern to every
man, woman and child in this
country.
Ever since then there have been
international conferences; peace
treaty discussions; war-reparations
debates; war-debts negotiations;
disarmament congresses. And ever
since then such gatherings have
become increasingly important
to the American people.
EverybOdy's Interest.
1t is now pretty generally under
stood that what happens in one
part of the world is of interest to
all other parts. The Dawes and
the Young plans; the PREPARATIONS
conference in Lausanne; the dis
armament conference at Geneva;
the British imperial conference in
Ottawa; the parliamentary cleo
tions in Germany next Sunday, and
many other events must of neces-
sity appeal to the interest of every
person.
whats Lausanne got to do with
hog prices in Iowa?" a Des Moines
paper recently queried; and it's an
swer was:
Plenty"
Likewise, someone might ask:
What have international affairs
to do with the price of rutabagas
in Pine county,"
And, self-evidently, the reply
must be the same:
"Plenty!'
Starting New Feature.
Realizing the fact that inter-
national affairs play an increas-
ingly important and direct part in
the everyday life of American citi-
zens, the publishers of the Askov
American have completed arrange
ments enabling them to announce
that on August 4, a new feature
will be started in the columns of
this paper, to be known as Inter
national News Review; it will be
a survey of some of the important
events taking place on the inter-
national stage, and will appear
every week.
This new department-belie
to be the only one in newspapers
of the "Askov American" class
will be conducted by Editor Georg
Strandvold, who for a number of
years has specialized in journal
istic discussions of international
affairs, and who has made it his
business to devote many hours
each day to the study and inter-
probation of events and develop
ments in every country. His re-
view will provide for the readers
of the "Askov American" a digest
which is easily read because it
will be brief, concise and yet suf-
ficiently inclusive.
Until further notice, the News
Among Scandinavians" feature
which has appeared weekly in this
paper for more than Is years, and
edited by Mr.. Strandvold during
all that time, will be discontinued.

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. UP
Culver Bryant Chamberlain was
virtually unknown outside sec
ton Of the diplomatic world, until
some Japanese soldiers gave him
a beating out at Mukden, Man
churia, on New Years day. The
beating probably hurt, but it drove
him from comparative obscurity in
to world prominence.
Still very little is known outside
the realm of his work. At the
state department one finds he has
been highly regarded for general
efficiency for many years, but no
one there knows him personally.
The state department register
says he was born in Princeton,
Ind, and is now 81 years old. Out
in Kansas City, his last home ad-
dress in this country he is claimed
as a native Kansan. He was in
school in Kansas City early in his
life and also in Independence,
Kansas. At the age of Is he went
to Los Angeles, where he finished
high school and developed fond
ness for languages which is ac
countable for his present position.
AS a youth he attracted little at
tention. He was quiet, studious, and
non -combative. He did not finish
college, but at the age of 20 enter
ed the diplomatic service, becom-
ing the youngest man in the serv-
ice at the time. He already knew
French and Spanish and had ac-
quired somewhere a smattering of
Chinese. Soon he found himself
in China, exercising his knowledge
Of that language, and for IL years
has been there most of his time.
Only six weeks ago he was in
this country on a furlough, visit
ing an aunt in Kansas City. He
told her of his study of the Chin
csc language-having gained a con-
siderable reputation of his mastery
OF that difficult tongue.
Perhaps it isn't entirely right to
say 1 know Chinese" he told her.
Rather I am learning Chinese, and
I probably will be learning it the
rest of my life"
To Chamberlain the mastery of
foreign tongue is not task. He
was planning to acquire Russian as
his next language, hoping to study
it in Harbin, where he was bound
when the japanese crossed his
path. He believed Russian might
even be more difficult than Chin
ese.
To those who knew him it seemed
strange that Chamberlain should
be singled out for such beating
as he received. They say he is an
unaggressive, unoffending, courteous
person, who seldom encounters
trouble
