ASKOV FIRM
IN NEW HANDS
Christopher Nielsen Takes Over the
Management of Produce Business
Here Wednesday.

A deal was closed Wednesday in
Askov whereby Christopher Nielsen
takes over the Askov Produce Co
heretofore operated by Lawrence Jen-
sen and son, Russell. Mr.. Nielsen
was with the company for several
months at one time and is well fitted
to operate the business. He will con-
tinue to operate the concern the
same as it has been operated in the
past, namely, to buy eggs, cream
hides, etc., and will pay the highest
possible prices.
The former owner, Mr.. Jensen, has
no immediate plans for the future
but he may make arrangements to
establish a buying route for a Twin
City wholesale firm and thus travel
from town to town buying eggs and
hides with which business he is very
familiar. He has established a good
business here and his many friends
will regret to see him leave it.
Mr.. Nielsen, the new manager,
needs no introduction to the public
as he has been active in various
enterprises, and his many friends ex-
pect and wish him success in his new
undertaking.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Because of the tension prevailing
in Europe the British government has
decided to retain for active service in
the navy five cruisers which were to
be scrapped, in accordance with the
naval disarmament treaty of 1880, and
it is reported that the United States,
one of the signatory powers. has con-
sented to this arrangement. So much
for the saEctity of international agree
ments: Whenever merely one power
determines to its own satisfaction that
a difficult situation has arisen, it can
tear any treaty to pieces. 1t has been
done before. 1t is being done right
along-and it certainly is not con-

LAWMAKERS
ACT, ADJOURN
Special Session of Legislature Passes
Unemployment Insurance Bill to
Comply With Federal Act.

An unemployment insurance act
which labor leaders have termed
satisfactory was passed on Wednesday
by the special session of the Mime
sofa legislature which was called for
that purpose by Governor Hjalmar
Petersen. This was the only item of
business of any Importance trans
acted by the Legislators and they
went to their homes, many of them
to stay, but some to return in Janu-
airy to the Capitol building to spend
the greater part of the winter in the
regular session.
The bill as passed will embrace all
employers of eight or more persons
during 20 weeks of 1886 and all en-
ployers who have one or more en-
ployes beginning Jan. 1, 1887. En-
ployers coming under the act in 1895
will be assessed one per cent of their
payroll and under both provisions en-
the employers to pay the total bill.
In 1887 employers will be assessed
two per cent of their payroll, three
per cent in 1898 and three per cent
thereafter.
An employer may operate under the
guaranteed employment act latter
1887 by providing guarantees that be
will keep his employment at the level
of the previous year, for 40 weeks of
the year at 80 hours a week. If he
elects to operate in this manner then
he may get reduction in his tax to
one-half of one per cent.
Benefits to Employees.
Employees will pay no part of the
unemployment fund and after Jan. 1,
1888, it will be possible to obtain
benefits if a person has lost his job
He cannot get more than SIS nor less
than Sc per week.
Administration of the act is ex-
pected to be through a new division
set up in the Industrial Commission
with its expenses paid by the federal
government out of the 10 per cent
of the tax which goes to the United
States treasury.

ROBOT PILOTS
TO LAND PLANE
Takes Risks Out of Flying
Especially In a
Fog
NEW DEVELOPMENT

Chicago.-Radio and aeronautical
instrument engineers have perfect
ed robot which not only stabilizes
airplanes while they are in flight
but lands them without the aid of
of a human pilot The landing is
done by means of a curved radio
glide path" beam which guides the
planes in safe and precise de-
scents regardless of clouds or fog.
This was announced here by J.
Il. Cunningham, superintendent of
communications for United Air
Lines. Experiments to produce
such a mechanism have been con-
Quoted for more than six years at
Oakland (Calif.) airport, the trans
port company's western base field,
he said, but success came only a
few months ago. Since then the re-
liability of the gyro-pilot, operated
automatically by the radio beams,
has been proved in thousands of
test landings.
When the robot mechanism Is
operating the Boeing PAID airplane
in which it is installed, the human
pilot takes both his hands and feet
Off the aileron and rudder controls.
He throttles back the engines until
the ship is flying S5 miles an hour.
The robot device then does the rest,
guiding the plane along the bent
radio beam until the ships landing
wheels touch the ground.
The human pilot then closes the
throttle and applies the brakes.
Even on the ground the 70
bot handles the ailerons and rud-
der, keeping the plane rolling in a
straight line, and raising the flip
pers" to prevent the ship from nos
ing over as the brakes take hold.
All the hazardous part of the land
ing Is accomplished thus by the ro-
bot. As a safeguard, however,
against failure of the device. in
struments are provided to detect
such failure and to warn the hu-
man pilot to take back the controls

suggests every one take vacation
this summer.
"You cannot afford to miss q va
cation" he contended.
perhaps you think you cannot
afford a vacation because you are
too busy, could spend the time prof
itably in some other way, or per-
haps you wish to retrench," he said.
"Your body and mind need change
from routine work"
He warned, however, that many
vacations are often short cut to
bills for medical service.
Stay away from flies and mosqui-
toes. he said.
Use milk that is safe-that which
comes from tuberculin-tested cows,
which has been handled by attend
ants who have been careful about
cleanliness. Use pasteurized milk.
He also warned the vacationers
not to forget that there were floods
this year, that water supplies have
been polluted. food contaminated,
and the soil prepared for the pro-
duction OF typhoid patients and a

KENT COUNTY
RATE HIGHEST
Still Forty Cents Despite An
Increase In County AS
SeSSment
NEW CASTLE is LOWER

The action of the New Castle
County Levy Court last week, in
reducing the tax rate of that coun-
ty to thirty-five cents, leaves Kent
county with the highest tax rate
in the Stae, since he rate in Sus-
sex couny was reduced to thirty
five cents some weeks ago. The
rate in Kent county is forty cents
and was not reduced this year by
the Democratic Levy Court. Not
only did the Kent Levy Court con-
tinue the tax rate at the maximum
permitted by the law for the coun-
ty, but they also failed to pass on
the taxpayer the benefit of an
increase in the assessment. The
total assessment in Sussex county
is not much heigher than the total
for Kent county and the increase
in the assessment in the lower
county was about the same per-
centage as the increase in Kent
county, yet the Sussex county rate
was reduced ten cents. Economy
in government in the upper and
lower counties have made these re-
ductions possible and while econ
omies made in Kent county seem
not to have been considered worth
while. Under the existing tax
rates of the three counties a farm
valued at five thousand dollars will
pay $3.50 more tax in Kent county
than it will in either New Castle
or Sussex county.
