New Setup Causes Annual
October Payment of State
AppOrtiOnment Held Up.

A total of $1O3,62133 was several
days ago sent to the county audi
tors office to be divided this week
among the various school districts
as their share of the annual state ap-
portionment The delay, according to
the state department of education, was
caused by the new legal setup which
was first put into effect last year.
Somewhere along the line from
receiving the money to getting re-
ports from the various counties in
the state there has been delay and
of course that reflected back onto the
school districts in causing many of
them not only the inconvenience of
having to float warrants but to pay
interest also. Improvement, however,
in this respect is promised for an
other year.
The largest amount of the allot-
ment goes to the Sandstone school
district when that check is seen to
total S14,98722 The next largest
check was the one for Hinckley which
amounted to $12,O12.41 Willow River
received $11,072.11 and Askov was
paid $1O,13526.
The various amounts received by
the school districts of the county are
as follows:

Bruno Creamery
Shows Increase
Over Last Year
Good Attendance Friday
Creets Review of Years
Business; Brandt Speaks.

The Bruno Farmers Produce Co.
held its annual meeting in the high
school auditorium Friday and sue
cessful condition was seen in the
report, the creamery having increased
its volume over the year before. This
was thought remarkable in view of
the fact that many other creameries
have shown a decrease in produc-
tion
The business of the session was
taken up and disposed of in the fore
noon and the afternoon was left open
to speaking by John Brandt, president
of Land O'Lakes Creameries of which
the local creamery is affiliated, and
Ben Lindvig, fieldman for this dis
trict of Land O'Lakes.
Brandt Advises More Interest.
In complimenting the community
on its good, representative attendance
at the meeting, Mr.. Brandt advised
the people always to take a keen
interest in the conduct of their busi-
ness enterprises. He stated that he
knew those who were not at the
meeting would be the first ones to
complain about the conduct of the
creamerys business.

Over 100 Clubs In
PredatOr Contest

Over 100 Minnesota sportsmen's
clubs and organizations with an ag-
gregate membership of more than
10000 are now entered in the state
wide predator control contest spon-
sored by the Minnesota Department
of Conservation.
With the extension of the closing
date of the entire contest to April
80, the entry date has also been ex-
tended to March 81, and the date for
final reports to May Z. This step
was taken primarily to permit north
ern clubs to participate in the crow
contest
The original closing date, March
26, at the end of the national Wild
life restoration week, came earlier
than the crow flight into northern
sections of the state and the ex-
tension was granted to give these
clubs an opportunity to compete, ac-
cording to Commissioner Herman c..
Wenzel.
The silver trophy, offered to the
high gun in the crow division of the
contest, is now on display in the
Conservation Department. The tro-
ply is offered by the Lake George

Dunmer-KOslOski
Nuptials Are Said

A nuptial mass was said last Sat-
urday morning at $50 o'clock when
Father Patt united Miss Louise Kos
loski, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Kosloski of near Willow River, and
Ferdinand Dummer, son of Mrs. Mar
garet Dummer of north of Finlayson,
in marriage at st. Joseph's Catholic
church in the presence of many rela-
tives and friends. The young couple
were attended by the groom's sister,
Tillie Dummer, and the brides BROTH
er, Toful Kosloski, and also by Helen
Kosloski, sister of the bride, and
Edward Habdas. The double ring
service was used.
Following the ceremony the we'd
ding party gathered at the brides
home where wedding breakfast was
served. The young people have lived
in the county all of their lives and
will be at home to their many friends
at the Dummer farm, where the good
wishes of all will attend them in their
life together. On Saturday night Mr..
and Mrs. Dummer gave a dance at
the Rutledge pavilion. They received
many fine and useful gifts. The
groom's uncle, Carl Dummer, and his
daughter, Mrs. Frank Eder of st. Paul,
came for the event and when they
returned they were accompanied by
Mrs. Margaret Dummer, who will visit
in st. Paul for several weeks.

CoOdROads Meet
In Minneapolis
Better Highways are Advo-
Gated to Better Take Care
of Heavier Traffic.

At the Northwest Good Roads BAN
quet held in the Nicollet hotel in
Minneapolis Wednesday evening OF
last week a large crowd of enthuS-
lasts was present to take part in a
protest to the suggestion of President
Roosevelt that Congress withhold a
part of the federal road aid to the
states.
The main speaker of the evening
was Col Willard T. Chevalier, presi-
dent of the American Good Roads
Association and he gave an excel
lent talk on the necessity of action
by each and every citizen of the
Northwest. The speaker urged every
one to write his congressman stres-
sing the Importance of good highways
in the United States. He emphasized
the fact that town-to-market roads
throughout the country need improve
ment and that the state highways
are becoming inadequate for the in
creaSing heavy traffic.
Cartwright Talks.
Congressman Cartwright of Okla
homa, was present also as a speaker
and pointed out that in 1900 there
were 5000 automobiles registered in
the United States, whereas in 1887
there were 28,000,000.

Two More Filings
During Past Week

More fuel was added to the polit-
ical fire the past week when c. G..
Mann filed for the office of repre-
sentative to succeed himself, and H.
H. Grandt filed for county auditor
Mr. Mann, upon filing stated that
his two terms in the legislature has
given him considerable experience
in legislation and that he will be
eligible for better committee assign
ments than a newcomer would be.
During the last regular session, he was
aligned with the progressive block
on many bills, but is listed as an in
dependent. He is one of Hinckley's
large taxpayers, being publisher of
the Hinckley News.
Mr.. Grandt, who aspires to the

He was born there and has resided
there all of his life. His filing makes

County Agent May
Get Certified Spuds

Tentative plans are being made to
get some certified Green Mountain
seed potatoes into Pine county, ac-
cording to Max McMillin, county
agent.
Certified seed potatoes are potatoes
which have been inspected during
their growing period by state in
spector for various diseases; and they
have also been inspected after they
were dug.
The price for certified seed pota-
toes is not going to be very high,
according to McMillin, and it would
be an opportune time to get some
good seed. Any farmer interested
in getting some certified Green Noun
tain potatoes is asked to leave word
at the county agents office at Sand

Askov Dray Owner
Eases Up On Duties

Fritz Holm, during the past week,
somewhat relinquished some of the
heavier hauling of his dray line and
in the future will confine his efforts
to just what he can handle himself
with his International pickup truck.
Mr. Holm justifies his action in the
new arrangement by stating that de-
creased business in the heavier end
of his work did not further necessitate
his hiring man. Furthermore his
inability to keep a man busy was
not fair neither to the man nor to
himself.
Fritz will always be on hand in
his usual prompt and efficient man.

Seed Loans Are
Again MadeHere
AskOv and Pine City Of
fees of Vincent P. Mccoy
are Open to Applicants.

Applications for emergency crop
and feed loans for 1888 are now being
received at Askov and Pine City by
Vincent P. Mccoy, field supervisor
of the Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Section of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration.
The loans will be made, as in the
past, only to farmers who cannot OBJ
tain credit from any other source. The
money loaned will be limited to the
farmers immediate and actual cash
needs for growing his 1888 crops
or for the purchase of feed for live
stock, and the amount which may
be loaned to any one farmer in 1888
may not exceed S400.
Farmers who can obtain the funds
they need from an individual, pro-
duction credit association, bank or
other concerns are not eligible for
crop and feed loans from the Emer-
gency Crop and Feed Loan Section
of the Farm Credit Administration
The loans will not be made to stand

tain emergency crop and feed loans
will give as security a first lien on
the crop financed, or first lien on the
livestock to be fed if the money bor-
rowed is to be used to produce or
purchase feed for livestock.
Where loans are made to tenants,
the landlords, or others having an
interest in the crops financed or the
livestock to be fed, are required to
waive their claims in favor of lien
to the Governor of the Farm Credit
Administration until the loan is re-
paid.
Checks in payment of approved
loans will be mailed from the Re-
gional Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Office at st. Paul.

Hoiberg Speaks
To FL. Club
A S kov Superintendent
Takes Democracy as Sub
ject in Good Discussion.

Only a small crowd heard Supt.
Otto G. Hoiberg speak at the meet
ing of the Askov Farmer-Labor club
Tuesday night Mr.. Hoiberg took as
his topic the appropriate subject,
What Does Democracy Mean?"
He explained the logic of democ-
racy in regards to civil liberties such
as speech, press, religion, assembly
and thought; majority rule; protec-
ton of minority rights; opportunity
to OuSt the existing government by
non-violent means; economic freedom
of the masses. In enlarging upon the
latter Mr.. Hoiberg stated that the
economic freedom is not the variety
of freedom" demanded by the Lib
erty League, but refers to the type
of freedom which exists when the
benefits of the economic system accrue
to the people as a whole rather than
to a small minority.
The speaker stated that country
fails to classify as democratic ma
ton if all the five elements mentioned
above are not present in considerable
measure. If any one element is
wholly or seriously lacking in a
country it cannot be called demo-
cratic.
United States Leads.
In classifying commonwealths from
the standpoint of the five criteria
laid down in the outset of his dis
cussion, Mr.. Hoiberg placed the
United States first, England second,
France third and then in order the
Scandinavian countries. The clear
ly undemocratic (dictatorships) are
Germany, Italy and others of that
type. In the undemocratic dictator
ship) but potentially democratic class,
he placed Soviet Russia. Mr. Hoiberg
stated that Russia is seriously lack
ing in several of the five criteria at
present, but according to Communist
theory the undemocratic features
now existing are merely transitional
and will be eliminated as time goes on.
After Mr.. Hoiberg's talk questions
were asked and a general discussion
took place.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

It appears that fascism goes from
one triumph to the other; it has al
ready been reported here that the
British government-sacrifcing its
foreign minister, Anthony Eden-had
declared it's willingness to discuss with
Italy the problem of recognizing Ethi-
opia as an Italian colony; with Ger
many the question of returning the
war-lost overeas colonies to the moth
erland.
On these issues the government went
before the House of Commons where
the labor party group demanded a
vote of censure against it, but the
demand was rejected by a vote of
$50 to 168, so that it, actually speak
ing, became a vote of confidence in
the government. In other words, the
chosen representatives of the habit
ually democratic British people sane
toned whatever bargain the Cham
berlain cabinet may be able to make
with the fascist relationships. So, no
wonder that chuckles were heard in
Rome and Berlin.
But that was not all. A few days
after the London crisis the question
came up in Paris: Is France to keep
on following the leadership of Great
Britain even though it may lead to
some sort of understanding with fas-
ciSm.
Overwhelming!
Since long before the world war
France has realized that it's best pro-
lection against dangers is British
friendship; even now, with a lib
eral-radical popular front" govern
ment in the saddle, France appears
willing to pay any price just in order
to retain that friendship and potential
support, and that explains the fact
that when Premier Camille Chau-
temps the other day appealed to the

Former Askovite
Passes In Sleep
Hans C.. Hansen Will be
Laid to Rest in AskOv on
Friday.

Hans c. Hansen, former Askov
farmer but of late living west of
Rutledge, died of heart attack
at about o'clock Tuesday morning.
Mr. Hansen had been together with
neighbors Monday saving wood and
was in the best of health; he retired
that evening at the usual hour; short
ly before o'clock a. m, Mrs. Hansen
was awakened by the heavy breath
ing and slight groan from Mr.. Han
sen and upon trying to arouse him
she discovered that he was dead.
Hans Christian Hansen was born
April 10, 1872, in Hagenby, Humble
Sogn, Denmark, and was thus nearly
66 years old at the time of his death.
Mr.. Hansen was married to Anna
Johanne Carlson at Wallingford, Iowa,
in 1900, eight years after he immi-
grated to this country. They imme-
diately started farming in Iowa.
They moved to Askov in 1908 and
purchased a farm northwest of town
upon which they lived until about
a year ago when they moved to be-
yond Rutledge on farm bordering
on Long lake where they had hoped
to spend their declining years in a
wooded area which they were very
fond of. Mr.. Hansen had become
eligible for old age assistance only a
short time ago, and with this assist
ance they dreamed of happy days
which were not to be filled with the
hard toiling that they had had on the
farm here for nearly 80 years.
There is left to mourn Mr.. Hansen's
death his widow and six children,
this being the first death in the FAM
lily. Mrs. Hansen will for the time
being remain on the farm. The
daughters are Mrs James Robertson,
Mrs. Marie Patrau and Miss Emmy,
who all live in Minneapolis; Mrs.
Einar Wong of st. Paul, Chris in Rut-
ledge and Axel is on the RaSmus
Petersen farm northwest of Askov.
He also leaves brother and two
sisters in this country: Anton 1. Han
sen, northwest of Askov, Mrs. An
drew Andersen of Lisbon, N. D., and
Mrs. Erik Juhl of Estherville, Iowa,
and two sisters in Denmark.
Mr.. Hansen was among the pio-
neers of this community, coming here
just two years after the colony was
started, when most of the transporta-
ton was via the shortest possible
route on a trail through the woods.
In his younger days he was active
in community affairs here and in
getting good roads built. He was a
member of the local Danish Brother
hood lodge and the Danish Lutheran
church.
Funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow (Friday) at o'clock from
the local church with Rev. Johs
Knudsen officiating and interment
will be in the local cemetery where
they have maintained a family lot
for many years.
The American joins with many
friends here and elsewhere in ex-
tending sympathy to Mrs. Hansen,
the children and relatives in their
hour of great sorrow.

No Trapping On
Any Game Refuge

With the opening of the 20-day
muskrat season on March 19, atten-
ton is called to the law which pro-
hibits trapping as well as hunting
on state game refugees.
All control on game refugees is
conducted by the Department of Con-
servation, and if it becomes neces-
sary to remove any game from these
areas, department employees do the
work and the revenue goes into the
game and fish funds, according to
Harry E. Speakes, director of the
Division of Game and Fish.
