ALL LIVESTOCK
ABOUT STEADY
Cattle Market Slow and Steady with
UndertOne Weak; Hog Trade Shows
Little Change; Lambs Mostly Steady.

(By U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco:
nomics and Minnesota Department lof
Agriculture)
South st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. q, 1888:
Despite lighter aggregate receipts of
cattle, trade here carried weak
undertone, although no quotable price
change developed, this in turn re-
flecting the dull tenor of the outlet
for dressed beef. Quality was plain,
most of the steer crop centerfng at
1925 to $500, some few better lots
scoring on up to $3.50 and above.
Cows dragged from $3.50 down. heif-
ers from $375 down, with cutters at
$1.50 to $500, medium grade bulls
Oh 10c to 15c break carrying a prac-
tical top of $3.50. Vealers sold with
out much change, better grades at
$500 to $500, Gull and common down
wards to $500.
The hog market ruled fully steady
with Friday, although with plain
quality on offer. prices appeared low
er from paper standpoint. Better
100 to 23O pound weights cleared at
$40 to 1920. medium grades down
wards to $2.75, while 230 to 260 pound
good and choice grades centered at
$500 to $40, medium grades down
to $2.75. Better heavier butchers
sold at $3.50 to $500, underweights
and pigs largely S275, packing sows
at $2.40 to $2.65.
Slaughter lambs sold mostly steady
with last weeks close. spots being a
shade lower. Five doubles of choice
medium weight fed western lambs
scored at $5.25, other good to choice
grades at $50, with medium grades
at $500 to $4.25, throwouts to $3.50
and below. Medium to good slaughter
ewes were unchanged at $3.50 to $500.
Suckers and Feeders.
A two-way trend ruled for stockers
and feeders in the cattle division,
better light offerings at 1915 and up
selling fully steady, while palmer
kinds turning from S2.75 to $3.50
looked weak. Stock pigs sold largely
at S2.75, while 81 pound Montana
feeding lambs sold to the country at
$50, few loads of So to IS pound
shearing lambs turning at $4.S5 to
$500.

the House, rejects this proposal, and
instead throws into the executive lap
the whole vast reorganization prob
lem by giving him virtual dictatoriai
powers, cOnfessing its own distaste for
the problem and its inability to take
any responsibility for it. In this day,
such admissions are not only said,
they endanger representative govern
ment, observed Senator Borah in es-
sence, when he issued singing
statement day or so ago.
Certainly it does mark a new chap
ter in our government, in that it
breaks the traditional and carefully
.fostered balance-of-power doctrine
which has existed since the nation
was founded. Most folks fail to grasp
this, and the House is right now more
than little dubious regarding the
action it took If the bill dies in con-
ference. the new Congress may fur
Their modify this action.
Two Senate committees have been
building up an impressive record in
recent days. The banking committee
has been developing shocking admis-
sions by Wall Street executives who
have been summoned to testify re-
garding their operations and business
practices. Chairman Mitchell of the
National City Bank, for instance, was
forced to admit disgusting personal
tax evasions on a large scale, and
other officials have disclosed the most
astounding manipulations and busf-
ness Irregularities. This is the in
stitutiOn, by the way, responsible for
our spending more than S20,000,000
of federal funds to send Marines to
similar to those of others in financial
centers who have caused our armed
Intervention and interference in other
parts of Latin America and elsewhere
At the same time, the finance COM
mittee has been hearing long line
of the nations best minds" in an eff
fort to find the way out of this depres-
sion, now advanced to most ominous
proportions The record of these
hearings was sharply altered on Fri
day, however, when the aggressive
and progressive publisher of the Phil
adelphia Record, j. David Stern, ac-
cepted an invitation to voice his
views, and at once aroused the lively
ire of the stolid and reactionary chair
man SmoOt by his outright ridicule
of the Difference shown the very mag
mates he said were responsible for
the country's present plight.
He scored the current budget-bal-
ancing talk as the ignorant mouth
ings of book-keepers and stated Wig
orously it was as silly for the nation
in this time of grave danger as would
be an effort of family head to bal
ance his budget when desperate ill
ness gripped his loved ones and ex-
pert medical care was essential. He
urged wartime remedies, monetary
reforms to readjust the values OF
money and commodities and wages,
relief to bank depositors and mort
gagors of farms and homes no matter
what the cost, public works and ade-
quate unemployment relief. The
country, he stated in no uncertain
terms, is ready for such a program;
it cannot and will not wait.

Martin Andersen has rented the
former ]. p. Frederiksen farm two
miles east of Askov, and with his fam
lily moved onto same last week.
During the first part of the week
much of the snow melted and this
coupled with considerable shoveling
by interested parties has made most
of the roads passable for auto. Both
the mail routes are now able to make

ASKOV SCHOOL NOTES

Inc Willow River nigh school teams
claimed the victory in all three games
played with Askov in the local D.. B.
s hall Friday evening. The girls and
the ''B" boys games were evident but
the first boys game required an over
time period to chip off tie accumu-
lated during the frenzied fracas.
The Askov girls made a noble at
tempt to gain their end but were out
claSsed by a score of 80 to 20. The
second team was overridden by Will
low River by a 20 to score. This
Willow team had very visible SUI
periOrity in size. At the half of the
first team game the score was 10 to
in Askov'S favor but her defense
failed the check in the latter half
which allowed Willow River to come
up behind and tie the score II to II
by the end of the allotted time. This
necessitated an overtime period near
the end of which the visitors Gagged
two baskets in rapid succession, leav-
ing the score 20 to II in Willows
favor at the end of the game. Frank
and Carl Grafelman refereed and UNI
pired the three games. Lunch was
served in the dining room after the
games.
In Askov's first game with Willow
River this season, our rivals won
overwhelmingly by score of $50 to
Is. 1t is evident that vast improve
ment has been made.
In the District Tournament at
Hinckley on March s. 10, and II.
Askov will play Moose Lake Wednes-
day afternoon at $3.50. A good contest
can safely be predicted.
Friday evening the boys will play
the Hinckley team in the last con-
ference game of the season. Saturday
evening they will motor to Minneapo-
lis to witness a game between Mime
sofa and Northwestern at the Uni
versity stadium.
The sub-district declamatory con-
test was held in Hinckley on Feb. %.
The four schools contesting were
II inckl ley, Sandstone, Askov and
Bruno. In the humorous division of
the contest first place was won by
subject, 1.-The Ladies' Aid at the Local
Theatre" She stood highest in both
ranking and scoring by the judges:
Through repeated applause by the
audience the speaker was delayed a
few seconds overtime and so elm
mated from continuing further in the
state contest, through no fault of
hers. In the dramatic division the
Sandstone speaker won first place.
Alice lessen from Askov, tied for
second place with the speaker from
Hinckley. Alice's subject was The
White Hands of Telham." In Oratory
Bernhard Mortensen of Askov, won
third place, with his speech, Ropes
First and second places were won by
Sandstone and Hinckley respectively.
The judges of the contest were Supt.
B. F. Hall of Mora and two members
of his faculty.
This season so far our school has
won two first hOnOrs with other
schools; first the district champion
ship i'm debate and now first place in
the Sub-district declamatory contest
in the humorous division.
The Askov debaters will go to Du-
luth on Thursday evening, March 2.
when AskOv's negative team will de-
bate the Duluth Central high school
affirmative team.

night, Bearcreek players threw
caution aside, also throwing shots
from mid-floor that won the game
for them, 80 to S3, against Belfry
High.
Brough, Belfry forward, had an
eye for the basket, and kept his
team ahead until late in the game.
Belfry was leading 25-16 at the

Bearcreek men shook off the
numbness that seemed to afflict
them.
Belfry players were Brough (21

wards; B. Brown, center; Miller

For Bearcreek there were Tasto-
