Moose Lake Loses.

In the second game of the semi
finals, Moose lake found the going
rather lard against the smooth work
ing Chilli quint, for at no time did the
Moose Lake boys threaten seriously to
win. Chilli lead at quarter time 8
to and at half time held II to
~ advantage. The greater height and
weight of the Moose axe team made
it possible for them to keep possession
of the ball much of the time To off
set this advantage, the Chilli boys
used very fast breaking game and
dashed in for several easy shots.
ROlig at center for Chilli, led the
field in scoring, making six baskets

Moose Lake. Olson gave a good ac-
count OF himself, scoring five field
goals and one free throw In the
final quarter when the Chilli lads
were ahead, they showed their ability
at ''stalling" or keeping possession of
the ball without attempting to score
further.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STKANDVOLD

Diplomats very evidently live in a
world all their Own-one in which
principles guiding people in other
walks of life do not apply. Promises
mean so little, solemn commitments
less, agreements and treaties eener-
ally nothing at all, and often decis-
ions are made seemingly for the pur-
pose of being cancelled on the first
opportunity.
A case in point is the attitude of
the international nOn-intervention
committee which holds meetings in
London for the express purpose of pre-
venting the Spanish civil war from
causing further complications. That
committee, made up of the represent
tatives of 81 nations, was formed last
summer. shortly after the outbreak
of the Spanish strife. and for more
than half year it has been assert
ing that now, again now, and once
foreign volunteers must stop. In spite
of all these assertions thousands and
thousands of volunteers from other
countries have found their way into
the war-torn country, to fight eli her
on the side of the legitimist govern
ment or under the banner of the fas-
cist rebels.
More than a month ago it was de-
cided that on February 90, an inter
national blockade of warships was to
be established along the Spanish coast

Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Peterson Will

A letter was received from Tacoma,

popular and interesting to the many
AskOv friends of Miss Eline Clausen
and Marvin Peterson. They are now

A reception was held at the rome
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thorvald Clausen in

The happy young couple are at home
to their many friends at 1914 South
Yakima, in Tacoma, Wash. Mr.. Peter
son is employed by the Peterman Man
ufacturing Co. of Tacoma. and the
bride up to the date of the wedding
worked in Seattle
Both the bride and groom are well
known in the AskOv community, the
bride having been born here and re-
ceived her education here where she
graduated from the local high school
with the class of 1881. She is the
daughter of Hans Clausen. Her moth
er died in November, 1885. She is
a young lady of excellent character,
having been active in social activities
as we'll as church work She was
employed in the plant of the Amer
lean Publishing Co. from December,
1881, until November, 1886.
The groom is the son of Mrs. An
ton w. Peterson of TaylOrs Falls, his
father having passed away Jan. H.,
1897. He graduated from the Tay-
lOrs Falls high school in 1927 and
was employed as assistant in the
AskOv creamery from April, 1881, I'M
til November 1886. Marvin was a
mainstay of the Askov Male Chorus
in which group he sang second tenor;
he was dependable in any commun-
ity undertaking; was erstwhile drum
mer, artist; basketball and kittenball
leader. His presence is missed in the
community and many friends of both
Mr.. Peterson and his bride wish for
them very successful and happy
union.

SPEAKER TELLS

Southern Tenant Farm err
Organizer Speaks Before
Holiday Group
President John Bosch Also
Attends Meeting at
ASkOV.'

The National Farmers Holiday AS
ISOLATION of Pine county held it's reg
ular monthly meeting in the Askov
d. B. S. hall Friday with it's ma
tional and state president, John Bosch
and Howard Kester, leader of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union,
present as speakers. Following the
transaction of some regular items of
business Mr.. Hester was introduced
to the audience. Mr. Kester, a young
Presbyterian minister, spoke of con-
ditiOns in the South among the ten
ant cotton farmers. He stated that an
orator in the South has a very risky
business if he is out to organize the
tenants and the sharecroppers. He
stated that slavery in the South has
not been abolished as people are
taught to believe; the negroes have
achieved the privilege people had
under feudalism some hundreds of
years ago.
The land has been stolen, mortgages
and other things have been taken
from the worker, the stores and bust
ness in the rural sections belong to
the landlords and thousands of cot
ton pickers have never seen an Amer
lean dollar as they are paid with
script which is traded in at the land
lords stores where prices are high
enough to always keep the tenant in
the red
No Tolerance Shown.
The landlords all carry guns as
they are the sheriff's deputies and if
it is found that the cotton pickers are
to hold a meeting in some abandoned
schoolhOuse or church, which is gen.
orally held after midnight in dark
ness, some are killed and a number
are injured if they have not been
warned to get away. At one place
where such a meeting was held, said
Mr.. Hester, but where the people had
been warned in time to get away, as
high on the walls as one could reach
could be found bullet holes from a
machine gun attack. That is not very
American-like in mated the speaker,
whe~e we are supposed to have free
speech and freedom of assemblage.
So far since the organization was
started, in 1888, more than 90 have
been killed and scores injured
The kind of clothes the people wear
depends on what kind of flour they
buy, as thousands of boys and girls
never have had clothes from regular
cloth.
There is no political freedom. Peo-
pie have been accused of being lazy
and shiftless, but they cannot be
blamed because the land, the very
