Flower Show Is
Judged ASuccess
Countrywide vent at
AskOv Proves Feature in
Entertainment.

The countrywide flower show
which the women's clubs of the coun-
ty have worked SO long and so hard
for during the past several months
was staged at ASkov last Thursday
and it won 'its spurs" judging from
an entertainment standpoint. A good
variety of exhibits and attendance
from various communities in the
county amply repaid the committees
in charge for the vast amount of work
required to sponsor it. The Judge
for the occasion was Peter Resch of
Pine City.
A monday luncheon was served by
the Askov Garden club and the after
noon lunch was served by Pine City
with the proceeds from each going
into the expense fund. Askov again
served refreshments and lunch in
the evening.
Afternoon and evening programs
were rendered and the federated clubs
business meeting was held also in
the afternoon. At that meeting Mrs.
Louise Johnson of Willow River, was
chosen president for the ensuing year;
Mrs. Jens P. Miller of Pine City, will
be vice president and Mrs. AL Her

Sturgeon Lakers
Represent Pine
For State Honors
County League Entry is
in Regional Competition;
Play Against Cloquet.

Sturgeon Lake, by virtue of its
first place standing in the last half
of the Pine County Baseball sched-
ule and by holding top honors in
the first half after Rutledge had
been disqualified, will again repre-
sent the League in state competition.
Formerly the winners of the various
Leagues throughout the state met
at Lexington Park in st. Paul in
one tournament, but now regional
tournaments will be played as last
year and the Pine county entry will
compete with the winner-CloQuet-
of Region l.
A meeting will be held at Carlton
Friday night to set the date and place
for the game.
In the meantime Pine county base
ball fans will be treated to two games
in the League Sunday when the Stur-
geon Lake nine will compete against
a picked team of all-stars from Askov,
Denham, Rutledge and Willow River.
President George Brisbin of the Pine
County League, will pick the team
and the game will be played Sunday
on the Sturgeon Lake diamond at
2:30 p. m.
The other game will be between
Pine City and Moose Lake at Moose
Lake and is the regular scheduled
game.
In the exhibition game between
Sturgeon Lake and Rutledge Sunday,
Sturgeon defeated Rutledge 8 to 5.
Joe Klar was the mainstay in the
fray for Rutledge, getting single
and homerun in four times at bat.
Dunaski, of the Sturgeon Lake team,
made a great catch in deep center
field when he ran back and robbed
Rutherford of what appeared to be
a sure hit. In the third inning Bobby
Olson, playing for Sturgeon Lake,
made name for himself when he
banged out a double with two team
mates on base after Gay, who pre-
coded him at bat when two were out,
was purposely walked. That hit
scored two runs.
Following is the box score of the
Sturgeon Lake-Rutledge game:
Sturgeon Lake 8; Rutledge 5.

Big Day" Plans
Being Made For
Askov Village
Rutabaga Festival Will be
Held Here in Approx
mately Three Weeks.

Eyes, we have no pickles or sauer-
kraut but we have rutabagas," say
the people of the Askov community
and the surrounding territory and
now they have decided to tell the
world about it. For consideration OF
this the American Legion post and
the Commercial club of the village
have met and selected representa-
tives to devise plans for a rutabaga
festival, which if all goes well, is
intended to be an annual event.

gram will take definite form. The COM
mittee urges that every woman, man
and child get behind the move and
talk, plan and help make it sue

Manners
of the
Moment
THOSE mean brothers and father

THOSE mean brothers and fathers
and uncles and boy friends who
take such delight in noticing when a
girl hasn't eaten her potato, ought to
be forced to eat whole basketful of
raw turnips. Or even of raw potatoes.
They have no business pretending
that they think a girl is in love just
because she isn't eating her potato
They have no right to josh her about
dieting, either. They'd josh her worse
II she were fat, and they should ad-
mire the stamina that goes into the
denial of potato.
And anyhow, how do they know that
a girl is refusing her potato because
she's vain, or dieting, or in love?
What makes them think, we'd like to
know, why it isn't just because she
is surfeited with potatoes and doesn't
choose to eat one at the moment?
They don't know, and they're just
being big wheezes. OF course, it
wouldn't be nice to make remarks to
them about their increasing Waistlines
or their developing jowls. 1t wouldn't
be nice at all, and we wouldn't think
of doing it, But sometimes we wish
we could.
We don't like meekness, but we've
discovered that the only way to man.
age men like this is to act as though
you didn't hear them
just don't give them a tumble And
they'll subside. JEAN.

may be washed of at any time with

Sachets for the linen closet are al
ways popular; there are many lovely
ones in the shops of different sizes,
shapes and odors. Among those
glimpsed on display in a glass case
we're set of four basket shaped pads
with tiny flowers on the handles and
tied together with ribbon. They may
be had in ivory taffeta and in pastel
shades. Others are small squares OF
satin, three and four piled on top Of
each other and held in place with

any price range that your budget will
allow; the only difficulty will be to
make final selection.
Cocktail accessories are very pOpu-
lar gifts and are always very useful.
They come in a wide variety of colors
and designs, in sets or separately
One very attractive set is natural
co.ored cloth for a table (about the
size of a card table,, with req and
black border, and tall stenmed cock
tail glasses, one red the other black,
are embroidered in the corner of the
cloth. Napkins of the same material
and design complete the set. Another
is comprised of eight red cork coast
ers, eight wooden ''muggers" and
eight red napkins. Cocktail napkins
may be purchased in any color or
shape, some have lace edges, others
embroidered figures in the corner If
the bride-to-be is very fond of horses
and hunting, she would be delighted
with set of napkins with the hunts
man and hounds gayly pursuing an
unseen fox. (This same design may
be purchased in luncheon set and
napkins.) An amusing gadget is the
cocktall-shaker gloves, which are
fashioned like mittens, with the palm
of terry cloth and the back OF satin
sporting a John Held, jr., drawing.
Each glove has tiny bell that will
jingle gaily with each movement of
the hands.
BREAKFAST linens are another de-
lightful gift, as are tray sets.
Both may be had in lovely soft pastel
shades monogrammed, or with gay
embroidery. The breakfast sets in
clude the cloth and four napkins, the
tray sets, cover and two napkins.
They also come in colorful checks and
plaids, natural colored backgrounds
with red and blue nautical designs and
in fine white linen with figures in
peasant costumes embroidered on
the edge.

Dancing Is
Excellent
Beauty Aid
Waiting Especially
Good for Grace and
Suppleness.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE waltz is becoming more and
more popular. Stylists tell us
that the fleeting, feminine fashions
have much to do with it. Whatever
the cause, we are happy in the effect
the waltz movement is sure to have
on feminine beauty. For it is bound
to cultivate grace and poise and youth
full verve.
have always felt that dancing is
one Of the finest exercises and one of
the best beauty aids Recently I
asked Joan Alexander, the dancer for
some beauty notes. I'll tell you just
what she said:
Being a dancer, it is a very i'm
portant part Of my routine to keep fit,
supple and slender. I do so by dane
Ing. I advise all girls and women to
take up dancing. 1t will serve them
as a recreation and as an effective
method of reducing or normalizing
their weight, their proportions. Almost
all acrobatic steps keep waistline
measurements down. Jumping rope.
tap dancing and bouncing one hip
and then the other ON the floor are
effective exercises for reducing the
hips. I prefer tap dancing. for it is
| more interesting and less strenuous.
interpretive dancing, classic dancing
and the waltz all have one thing in
| common-the smoothness and rhythm
| are soothing to nerves, they cultivate
grace and poise. I cannot imagine
| any one waltzing we'll and not wearing
| a pleasant, almost serene expression.
Perhaps you never thought of dane
ing in quite this light before, but, at
your earliest opportunity, watch the
| faces instead Of Cor as well as) the
feet Of young people dancing. See how
they smile. And smiling, to my mind,
| is definite aid to beauty. 1t keeps
| the spirit young And even if it does
make for little laughing lines, they're
the character kind, lightly traced
and somehow flattering. It's the
worry wrinkles that are ugly because
| they are deep and they turn down
and give the face an unhappy ex-
preston.
Now then, if we agree that dancing
helps to keep the body supple, that
IT makes for grace and poise, that it
keeps one young and happy-do we
need any other reason for dancing?
If we do, there's fine reason we
can add. Special occasions such as
dinner and dance, or the ball room
| event usually demand special kind
CT loveliness. Primping. Donning a
new dress, perhaps. A new coiffure.
New makeup. Looking ones best.
One is particularly beauty-conscious,
then. And that's just about the
surest way to become a beauty!

have tried gentleness, patience, fight
ing, being mean myself, but nothing
to you. DISGUSTED WIFE.
Answer-Of course, one would like
to say that the best way to treat
contrary man is to bat him over the
head with coffee pot, but, unfortu-
nately. women lack the physical
strength to enforce such an argument
against contrariness. Besides which,
our effete civilization discourages such
primitive means of family discipline.
All that is left, then. for the woman
who is married to man with mulish
disposition is to treat him as she would
any other donkey who hasn't sense
enough to do what is right and proper,
but who has to be cajoled along the
way he should go.
Begin by letting the silly ass think
that he has suggested everything that
you want to do. If you want to have
the parlor papered green instead of
purple don't rashly say that you are
going to have green or your donkey
will put his foot down and declare for
purple. On the contrary, gently and
insidiouSly suggest the idea of green
paper and, when you perceive that the
time is right, ask him what color he
would prefer to have the parlor pap
cred. He will say green and berate
you for not having thought of it your
self.

IN THE next place, remember that
the law of contrariness always
