yy1ASHINGTON-Well, anyway,
w Jim Farley is going to show
rs what currency imitation is like.
BY way of atoning for a sad
error, the postmaster general will
do the trick with postage stamps.
He gave away to his friends scores
of sheets of nice new issues which,
because they weren't perforated,
represented huge values to stamp
collectors. who go in for such oddi.
ties, and did they squawk.
Now he promises to start the
printing presses again and pump
so many imperforate sheets into
the philatelic market that none will
be worth more than face value.
That means that a pair OF imper-
forate 2-cent Grand Canyon stamps,
recently offered for sale at $3.50,
will slump in value to a mere four
pennies.

CANNOT OPEN
LOCAL ROADS
Trunk Highway System Alone Taxes
Funds of Department Without
Taking ON More.

The state highway department has
been swamped, so to speak, with hun
dreds of pleas that it operate snow
plows to open county and township
roads and it is impossible to grant
these requests, said N. w. Elsberg
highway commissioner During the
recent heavy SHOWS said Mr.. Els
berg, 1--WE received letters, kilograms
and telephone calls from all parts Of
the state asking that we open up par
ticular stretches of local roads. The
department would be glad to do this,
but legal restriction of our operations
to the trunk system, coupled with lack
of funds, makes it impossible.
1T has taxed the highway depart
ment's equipment to keep the trunks
open, and if we were to undertake
blowing operations on local roads as
we'll the situation could not be
handled.
Farmers also have complained that
snow plows have dismantled their
mail boxes along the trunk highways.
While our crews are INSTRUCTED to use
as much caution as possible about
such things, the roads have to be kept
clear. With day and night blowing
in heavy snow, it is often impossible
to avoid striking a mail box. The
benefits to the farmer of having his
main highway opened up in all wealth
er should compensate for any incon-
venience of this character"

his team out ahead one point when

the game for the East Grand Forks
team when they might just as we'll

Earlier in the game Roger scored
six points, in less than a minute,

accomplishment not only sets a
record in East Grand Forks, but

NO GAME REPORT, NO
HUNTERS LICENSE

Thursday, January 81, marks the
final day for the filing of game re-
ports, Minnesota hunters were warned
by Erling Swenson. Director OF the
Division of Game and Fish. Neglect
to file report of game taken on both
small and big game hunting licenses
bars issuance Of hunting licenses for
the year 1885, Mr.. Swenson said.
I'VE have received thousands of re-
ports of game taken and work is pro-
crossing rapidly in compiling re-
Suits" the director stated. There
are many hunters who have to date
failed to file their returns. We urge
that this information be forwarded to
the division so that as complete a
record as possible may be obtained
relative to the amount Of game taken
in the state last fall during the open

ASKOV BAGA GROWERS
DISCUSS WAREHOUSE

The Askov unit of the Northern
the D. B. S. hall last Thursday after
noon with only a small crowd in at
tendance. The inclement weather
and road conditions was apparently
the reason for so few attending. The
main purpose of the meeting was for
alton. Offers for the sale of the local
warehouses had been received. by the
board and these were discussed to
gether with the possibility of building
warehouse. However, nothing def
mite was done at the meeting except
to have a committee appointed by the
chairman to investigate the amount
of money which could be borrowed for
such an undertaking. The following
day this committee, Chris. Frederick
sen and Ludwig Madsen went to st.
Paul to present the proposition to the
st. Paul Bank for Cooperatives with
the result that the Association re-
ceived an offer of loan amounting
to 60 per cent of the appraised value
of the warehouses providing, however,
that a similar amount of stock was
subscribed for.
A committee was also appointed to
ascertain the number who would buy
stock in the warehouse project.
1t was left with the board to further
perfect plans for acquiring a ware
house and in all possibility a meeting
will again be called when such plans
are arranged.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

To what extent is it possible to
square the declarations by statesmen
of the great powers with their ac-
tions? Where is the line Of demarca-
ton between diplomatic sincerity and
hypocrisy?
Such questions suggest themselves
as obvious when you observe the fer
vency with which these statesmen
plead the cause of world peace while
they, at the very same time, sane
ton, indeed, encourage expansion OF
ornaments on land, sea and in the
air; they become perfectly natural
when you recall how convincingly the
great powers argued for disarmament
at Geneva a year or two ago while
they kept on representing govern
ments which built up bigger armies
and stronger navies than had ever
been SEEM What is one to think about
the level Of intelligence governing the

PINE COOP OIL.

More Than Doubles Volume
of Business Done in
1922.
Holds Annual Meeting in
Askov D. B. S. Hall; Re-
elects Board.

The Pine Coop Oil Association or
eanized at Askov in 1929 has had an
other good year and a comparison OF
statistics shows that its sales OF 1884,
252.84 more than double those of S15,-
683.O8 made in it's first year In busl-
ness. Only fair sized crowd OF
stockholders attended the annual
meeting held in the Askov D. B. S.
hall Saturday afternoon Besides vot-
ing to pay the dividend. it was decided
to set aside $50 for an educational
fund. There was considerable COM
ment pro and con on the advisab1lity
of not paying SO much dividend ana
set a. sum aside to make Improve
ments and eventually have the asso-
citation own its own station. However,
there was nothing done about this.
Cambridge COoperator Speaks.
r. ]. Linell of the Isanti County
Cooperative Oil Association at Cam
bridge, was the speaker at the meet
ing and he commented on the lively
discussion which took place during
the business session of the meeting,
saying that only through discussion
is a true basis formed for democracy.
Mr.. Lineu talked on the necessity OF
the consumer owning his own supply
as we'll as the production. In this
connection he took for example the
spending of 500 by the consumer.
Taking for instance, $50 as the cost,
it would leave $40 for the owner and
according to statistics only SIS OF this
$40 profit would be spent at the end
of three months. Then figuring that
the average turnover OF money In the
course of year is four times. there
would remain in circulation only a
little over $50 of that 500 at the end
of the year. This would indicate, said
the speaker, that the consumer must
acquire ownership SO that he may
save the difference over the cost of
the things he buys.
Mr.. Linell emphasized the fact that
education is the key to success of CO.
operation. People must be made to
see that it is best for them to patron
fze their own business enterprises.
All cooperative enterprises must be
co-ordinated in the community, then
in the county, state and nation.
There are too many boards, said the
speaker. They overlap and thus make
for too much expense.
In talking of education to make CO
operation successful, Mr.. Linell said
that nothing could last which was
gained by force and advocated educa-
ton instead of force. He predicted
the fall of those governments gained
by force and past history bears him
out in this respect.

MOOSE LAKE
SCHOOL BURNS
Fire of Unknown Origin Causes $780,
600 Loss; School Glasses In
Churches.

With an enrolment of approx
mately $50 pupils, Moose Lake school
officials are confronted with the prob
lem of efficiently housing the classes
in the various churches, Masonic
Temple and private homes of the vii
lage since the public school building
was completely destroyed by fire
early Friday morning. The loss is
estimated at about 100000 and is
partially covered by insurance.
The structure, built in two Sec
tions, one in 1912 and one in 1919,
was two stories and basement in
height and was made Of brick and
stone. The fire was discovered at
about a. m. when it was apparently
confined to the boiler room and the
superintendent office, but by the
time the volunteer fire department
reached the scene very little could
be done to save anything. The vault
in the superintendent office which
contained the records dropped into
the basement and recent investigation
disclosed that some of them had been
destroyed and some have been pre-
served. The board went to the Cities
Monday where some new equipment
was ordered preparatory to starting
school again next week.
VIII Build Again.
Although no definite plans have
been made, in all probability arrange
ments, will be made soon for work
to start on the construction of a new,
larger and modern building, which
will be ready for the beginning Of
the school term next fall.
The origin of the blaze which was
so disastrous has not been discovered
and perhaps never will be.
The library housed in the school
was used by the community as we'll as
by the students and this was COM
pletely destroyed. The older section
of the school, used by the grades, was
the only building of any size avail
able after the 1918 forest fire and
it served as a hospital in caring for
the scores of influenza cases brought
in for treatment.

AskOU Bread is
High in Quality

In the present day and age ev-
cry one is called upon in consid-
cradle degree to be a specialist in
his vocation. Whether it be farm
ing or industry the one who keeps
abreast with his profession is con-
coded the best chance of staying
in that profession. Conrad Chris
Jensen, Askov baker, belongs to
this class. Mr.. Christensen after
considerable questioning acceded
to the wishes of a representative
of the American, discarded little
of his modesty and "let us, in" on
a little of the secrets of the manu-
facture of his quality bread with
the result that it was learned that
at various intervals he has his
bread analysed as to quality of
food products, etc. It always ranks
among the highest in the state.
Some facts which Mr.. Christen-
sen is publishing in his advertise
ment this week has considerable
to do with the high quality of his
product. In the first place it is
pretty difficult to overlook the i'm
portant part that Land O'Lakes
sweet cream butter plays in the
manufacture of bread. Mr.. Chris
Jensen uses approximately 1880
pounds of this per year and esti-
mates about 5000 pounds of sweet
milk in the same space of time.
He also uses about 10000 eggs in
the manufacture of his bakery pro-
ducts. Is it any wonder that they
are good?
The Askov Bakery products are
handled also at Duquette and Ker-
rick.
