NEW YORK-After a tour of

New York to France, through
Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Jugo-
Slavia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt
the Adolph Hodge party returned
to New York on the S. S. Byron

What generally impressed us
most" said Mr.. Hodge, was our
reception by the Pope. When he
learned that we were colored, he
did what he rarely does to indiv-
iduals or groups. He gave US a
special audience in the Golden
Throne Room, a most magnificent
and glittering chamber, and talked
with us about the welfare of the
colored people in America for five
minutes. Then he gave us his
blessing with the words, MAY
your blessings be in accordance
with your intentions. .

Mr.. Hodge said further:
''This was my first trip to the

there, at least to me, was to find
it not a white mans land, as I had

colored mans land. This is true

COUNTY TAXPAYERS
LEAGUE is FORMED

Residents from various parts of Pine
county met at the Madison hotel in
Sandstone last Thursday evening for
the purpose of organizing a county
Taxpayers League. The meeting was
called to order by Beaufort Johnson
Of Rock Creek, who stated that there
is need of such an organization of
taxpayers in every county to study
various matters pertaining to taxa
ton. Such an organization should be
nOnpartisan, said Mr.. Johnson, and it's
membership should be open to all tax
payers in the county. 1t should be
Independent of any state organiza-
tion and conduct it's affairs without
any outside interference.
Harry Madison of Sandstone, was
elected temporary chairman and

ming, September 4, and all taxpayers

cross bats with the local baseball
team. These teams played two weeks
ago at Kerrick and although Askov
won, it was by no large margin. This

HOLIDAY PICNIC
DRAWS MANY
Band Music, Singing, Speaking and
kittenbaII Entertain Young and
Old I'm ASkOy Sunday.

A large crowd gathered in the
Askov village park Sunday, the event
being a picnic sponsored by the Askov
unit of the National Farmers Holiday
Association. Band music, male chorus
singing, speaking, kittenball and the
eating of refreshments sold by the
Holiday was the order of the day.
The principal speaker was c. Arid
Olsen, president of Grand View Col
lege, Des Moines. Iowa, and he was
preceded and introduced by N. P
Nedegaard, county president of the
Holiday Association. Mr. Nedegaard,
in his remarks before introducing the
speaker of the day, stated that Holt
day members are not the radicals
endeavOring to get cost of production
for their products and showed that
they are not asking for anything I'M
reasonable. Then after a few other
remarks he introduced Mr.. Olsen.
Mr.. Olsen dwelt largely upon the
the Inscriptions Activities of the In
ternational Munition Rings" In his
discussion the speaker brought out
many points as to why the world has
wars. He flayed the press of the
world and the misleading advertising,
which deadens the peoples judgment
of values. He told of the propaganda
during the time and just previous to
the United States entry into the
World war. The news press poisoned
the peoples minds making them
think that autocracy and militarism
were going to be abolished. This was
all to shield the real purpose of the
conflict, that of making profits for the
munitions makers.
Mr.. Olsen cited various instances
which showed wars are instigated and
carried on by profit seekers.
Mr.. Olsen, AS president of Grand
View College has many friends in the
Askov community who were delighted
to hear him and to have him among
them.
A climax of the days activities
was kittenball game between Askov
and Askov with Askov winning. In
other words the town team defeated
the country boys in thrilling strug-
gle,

MINNESOTA TROUT
SEASON TO CLOSE

At 9 p. m. Saturday, September 1,
the current season for legal taking
of stream trout will be brought to a
close in Minnesota, Erling Swenson,
director of the Division of Game and
Fish, warned.
An increase reported in the num-
Der of trout fishermen and a larger
take of trout than for several years
past indicate that the season has been
successful despite the dry spring and
the disastrous effect on stream levels,
Mr. SwensOn stated.
anglers attribute the success to
the increased development Of stream
trout propagation in the state, with
trout stream improvement work also
contributing to better trout fishing"

HOG MARKET is
MUCH HIGHER
Prices Shoot Upward IA Consecutive
Days Since Chicago Yards
Strike Ended.

Hog values at South st. Paul have
advanced 1860 over the years low
spot, and during the fourteen days
that the Chicago market has operated,
following a ten-day clCse-down due to
labor controversy there, prices have
advanced steadily 1920 per cwt. on
hogs. Thus states the weekly mar
ket bulletin issued by the Central Co
operative Association at South ST.
Paul.
Highest price levels since August
1881 were paid for hogs at that mar
ket last week, the top late being $40
compared with $4.15 year ago and
S3.05 at the low time in January this
year. The market now stands within
short distance of the average at this
date fer the last five years.
Wholesale pork prices also are reg
istering sharp gains. At one of the
major meat distributing centers,
wholesale prices on best pork loins
set new high since 1882 at 21c per
pound. A month ago the same grade
of loins sold at 121ac per pound and
at the low spot last winter they went
at SC.
One of the favorable factors of i'm
portance in the hog advance is the
rapid disappearance of pork stocks.
Apparently supplies of hogs have not
been sufficient to satisfy the immedi-
ate needs of the trade, for packers
have taken pork out of storage rather
freely in recent weeks.
On August 1 there were 644 million
pounds of pork in storage. This
amount was 1870 less than in storage
a year ago and 11%o less than in stor-
age at this date during the five-year
average. Pork stocks in storage at
present are smallest in many years,
and in view of the fact that hog
slaughter thus far this year is near
normal, it indicates pork has been
consumed rapidly.
