More Large SpudS.

Since Ludwig Mosb9k displayed a
potato weighing some ounces over
a pound, two more large ones have
come to the Askov American office
from Fred Saastad of near Bruno,
and Werner Nelson of near Askov.
The Saastad potato which contained
three potatoes in one, weighed two
pounds and six ounces, while the
Nelson potato, more perfect speci-
men, weight two pounds, three and
three-quarters ounces.
1t is apparent that if growers in
this section have their way, then
instead of buying spuds by the BUSH
ell, all one will need to do is 60 to
the dealer and say give me half
dozen potatoes"

It is a disheartening thing to tra- vel several thousand miles back to ones home country on the other side of the world for the first time in many years and find disappoint- ment and sorrow at the end of the trail.
 That is what happened to George Martinsen, genial B. M Behrends Grocery store employee who left Juneau last August for his home in Norway that he had not seen in 32 years.
 According to letters received here by friends of George, he had gone back to his homeland for the ex- press purpose of seeing his sister whom he had not seen in the three decades he had been absent-but on arrival in Norway. George found his sister had passed away,

CONGRESS BALKS
 AT ECONOMY CUT
tcOntlnued from Page D

(Continued from Page D cateRories of expense as 1. the best field for imposing economy. Re named them, with their estimated cost in this fiscal year, as follows:
 Unemployment relief and ctvillar conservation corps 9l,SoS, 900, 900,
 Public Works e6TS. 900, 900.
 Agriculture Se0o. 0.000.
 Public Highways S263, ,O00, 900.
 Morgenthau argued that some. where in that &S,Sli ,000. 900 expen. allure 1t should be possible to inn- pose economies aggregatinC $70O,- OO0, 900, So far MT. Roosevelt has proposed saving 9l00, ,000, 900 on pub iic roads, leaving for the future ale location of $eoo, 100000 of additional economies.
 Road Cut Opposition
 Factors arouSing congressional op. position to reduced road funds will be duplicated and possibly aggravat. ed by further application ot the economy principle along the lines proposed by Morgenthau. The na- tional conference of mayors which met here last month protested any reduction of relief appropriations although MT. Roosevelt has been preparing the nation for a cut both In relief funds and pubic works spending.
 If Congress balks ct Chese eco- monies and refuses to vote addition al costs laid upon the treasury by the new crop surplus control bill, the balancing of the budget will be close to impossible.
 Budget Balance Uncertain
 There is no certainty of 0 bal- anced budget even though Congress md the White House cooperate completely and assuming that MT. Roosevelt will insist upon the pro. posed painful economy that would be necessary to get the treasury out of the red.
 This further uncertainty lies In the ebb and flow of federal revenue. Business recession already has re" duced treasury income below ex- nected levels. So long as business is comparatively slow revenue VIII be proportionately unsatisfactory.
 Thus at may Do possible for the president and Congress to effect the economies proposed by Moreenthau and still fall to balance the budget because falling tax receipts were in. sufficient to pay government costs although these costs had been re. duced.

Ruk the Japanese already had holsted an American flag and Ital' ian flag on the conflecated tugs, apparently having obtained them elsewhere.
 without gnilng, the Japanese salorE left the tugs and returned to their own vessel. A police, mustA- chioed Japanese consular police of- ficer approached Hunt and they shook hands. They conversed in Japanese but what they said was not learned.
 After some confusion, 1t developed that the consular ofiicer wanted Q receipt for the tug. Hunt reached into his pocket for 0 calling card and scrubbed on 1t the equivalent of received, one tug" The ofieer obtained similar receipts from the Italian authorities.
 Statement of Hunts
 The Hunt interests issued this statement:
 "Our steam launch has been re. turned by the Japanese naval au- thorities. We are gratifed and ap- preciative of the manner in which the mistake has been corrected"
 It was understood that Yarnelrs protest used strong terms and reiter- ated Guasss insistence that the American flag must not be lowered from "any" property without corl- sulting the United States consulate.
 The Japanese had not yet replied to 0aussS protest and It was as" stunned that none would be made m view of the fact that they had re- piled to Yarne1l.
 It was learned unoiiicially that the American authorities had pointed out to the Japanese that aS the boat was flying the American flag, that alone should have been sufficient evidence of It's American ownership.
 American Ownership
 The Feiting was registered under American ownership c month prior to the outbreak of hostilities and was acquired by it's American own- era In receiverShip proceedings.
 Earlier Japanese naval SpokeB- man had issued c statement saying that the tugs seized yesterday which "purpogtedly" were Italian and American, actually were the property of the Chinese government.
 several vessels owned by tho Chinese government were detained yesterday by the Japanese navy" the statement said. "These vessels were flying foreign flags but aS a result of careful Investigation 1t was ascertained that they were owned by the Chinese government.
