 Economies ordered by the com mittce included:

 "4-E1iminate appropriations of treasury funds for movie shows aboard ship" a3

SIXTY STATE CLUBS

Hartford, Feb 20-over 200 sportsmen, volunteers from so state sportsmen's clubs, to-day had been appointed members of q game guardian force which will operate under supervision of Chief Wild Life Protector A. Joseph Will liamson. The game guardians will serve without pay. make con- fidcntiaI reports of fish and game law violations to county wild life protectors and assist in fish and game restoration activities of the board.

 Prompted to enlist the aid of sportsmen when an epidemic of preseason shooting of game birds, and song birds as well. broke out early last fall, the state board of fisheries and game at that time called upon sportsmen's club of the state to nominate volunteers for appointment to temporary emergency force to supplement the work of the regular wild life pro- tectoFs. A total of 337 were ap- pointed for three months period. They were without power to ar rest but were under instructoins to secure and report evidence of llDU anu HdIhG lAW
 Data secured from a compi1a- ation of reports from the game guardians shows conclusively that the plan has been helpful and gen erally successful as well as satis- factory to those who volunteered their services and to the depart mcnt," Chief Williamson said. We are, therefore, again organization a game guardian force for an- othsr year and perfectly q smooth working organization.
 No one, except officials of the department, will know exactly how many have been appointed who they are, or where they may be at any time. This has proven most helpful in improving conditions In the past and we expect still bet CT results in the future," Chief Will Hanson declared.

LIVESTOCK DEAL
STARTS SLOWLY
Cattle Trade Firm; StOcker Outlet
Narrow; Hogs Weaken After Steady
Opening; Lamb Deal Very Slow.

tBy U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nOmicS and Minnesota Department OF
Agricultural
South St. Paul, Mimi, March 10,
1888: The livestock trade at South
st. Paul started slowly today. the gen.
eral market being adversely affected
by bearishness in the dressed mar
kets. Most slaughter cattle sold
at steady prices, spots strong on year
ling steers and on weighty bulls with
vealers SOC lower. Bulk of the COM
mon and medium grade slaughter
steers sold at $3.5O-4.5O, a few up
ward to $500. Butcher heifers bulked
at $3.O0-3.75, beef cows S2.25-2.75,
cutters S1.50-2.OO, medium grade
bulls $2.35-2.50, better vealers $3.50
$50, few $6.OO-6.50, palmer kinds
down to $500.
In the hog division the, trade opened
about steady, but the general market
ruled steady to 15c lower. The prac-
tical top was $3.50 paid for sorted
16O-220 pound hogs. better 22O-250
pound $3.35-3.60, heavier weights
down to $500 or below, bulk packing
sows $2.5O-2.75.
Packers were bidding Csc lower on
slaughter lambs or mostly $500 on
good to choice fed offerings, while
sellers were asking strong prices.
Late last week bulk of the native and
fed lambs sold at $5.0O-525. A few
choice 10 pound slaughter ewes sold
today at $2.75.
Feeders and Suckers.
Feeder and stocker trade has been
almost at a standstill since the bank
holiday started. There has been a
limited amount of trade in stocker
steers at $4,000, odd lots higher.
Better grade pigs are selling out of
first hand mostly at $500.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1933-03-16

The change provides that candidates
for county offices must also file forty
days before the primary, thus making
the final filing dateNthe same for all.
This will also provide more time for
the preparation and printing of bal
lots, and in general, simplify matters.
Fight Truck Legislation.
The regulation of contract and COM
mon carriers on the highways had a
good airing in the House Thursday
and Friday. The bill came up on
special orders Thursday, being debat-
ed the greater portion of that after
noon, all evening until II o'clock, and
again all Friday afternoon, without
final vote being taken this week.
Amendments galore were offered in
an attempt to improve the bill and
more in the interest of the public.
Proponents and opponents, alike,
agreed that there should be more reg
ulation of trucks and truckers and
that the method of carrying on the
business might well be improved.
Testimony in the many committee
meetings and on the floor of the
House, showed that drivers of trucks
often labored unreasonably long hours,
making it less safe for the driver
himself and the public, that the bust
ness in many cases was improbable
and in some cases turning out as
loss to the owner Of the truck.
However, there was strenuous OPP
position to the setting by the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission of mini
mum rates to be charged by common
carriers 1t was maintained by oppo-
nents that this would simply make it
a railroad bill and not in the interest
of the public. 1t was also argued
that trucks are rendering a good SER
vice on short hauls and even with
the number of trucks on the roads,
the percentage of business they take
away from the railroads is still rather
small. Ham-stringing the truckers
with too stringent regulation of rates
would be detrimental to the public in
terest, especially i'm these times when
the farm income is small and there
is need for securing transportation
at reasonable figures. Leaders in OPP
position to rate making, argued that
the Legislature should not be legis-
lating in behalf of either the rail-
roads or the trucks but that the two
and one-half millions of people in the
state of Minnesota are to be consid-
cred more than any certain industry
or business.
When this was written, there were
still several amendments at the
speakers desk. If some of those are
adopted, it will make the bill more
acceptable to more members and the
public as represented by the lawmak-
ers.

STATE LIBRARIAN
SPEAKS AT ASKOV

A small crowd attended the meet
ing of the Askov ParentTeachers as
sociation held in the school house last
Thursday night at which time Miss
Harriet A. Wood, state supervisor of
school libraries, was the speaker. An
excellent program of music furnished
by the Askov orchestra under the di
rection of Mrs. A. Henriksen, was en-
jOyed before and after the speaking.
Miss Wood spoke on the choice of
books being very important in the life
of the growing child, saying that the
choice of library is an individual
undertaking, for the book which is
suitable for one person is not for
another and therefore the function of
the state department. Miss Wood said
there should be we'll picked library
in every school and complimented the
Askov school management for it's be-
ginning in this line. She stated that
the state department would send from
one to six books at any time to a
school for examination for just the
payment of postage. If the boy or
girl is brought up with the books
having the best personalities or char
acters in them, it is only apparent
that they will seek this same kind
of companionship when they are
grown, intimated Miss Wood. How
could boys and girls being brought up
in library with best books do any,
thing but desire to build a higher
social order?
The library's many uses were ex-
planned by the speaker and especially
did she bring out the fact that many
unemployed at the present time were
utilizing their time in studying and
reading for more knowledge in Ii
braries out over the country.
After the business meeting lunch
was served in the basement as usual.
