Hitch Hiker Drives
In Wrong Direction

Frank Hadash, Browerville used
car dealer, had rather exciting
experience with a hitch hiker last
week when Frank and a party of
employees were returning from
Madison, Wis, with a fleet of used
cars purchased there. Franks car
had minor motor trouble and he
hired the hitch hiker who was
riding with him to drive the car
they were towing. After the re-
pair work was completed they
again started on their journey and
everything went fine until they
came to an intersection on a street
in Madison. The hitch hiker be-
came confused and turned the
wrong direction and in the result
ing traffic jam became separated
from Frank. Not knowing whether
or not the boy had committed the
mistake purposely Frank notified
police to be on the lookout for the
boy. The following day the hitch
hiker continued his journey into
Browerville with the car and eX-
planned his confusion at the inter-
section and how he had decided to
spend the night in rest and then
complete his journey to Brewer
vile turning the car over to Frank
Hadash.

All Is Not Gold
That GHtterS

If you receive a handsome bou-
quet of wild flowers or a sheaf of
pretty leaves in all their fall splen-
dor, our advice is that you know
your botany. Little Jerry Peil and
her cousin, VIM. Kitto, Jr., de-
cided that Grandma Mary Belle
Kitto of Tower, would enjoy a
bouquet of flowers. Going to the
hill they gathered together a nice
bunch of Every pretty colored
leaves" and brought them to her.
Naturally Grandma was very
pleased with the Riddles and she
buried her face amongst them and
drew in their fragrant odor.
Fortunately Jerry is immune to
poison ivy, but alas, not so with
Grandma and cousin Billy whose
faces swelled to such proportions
that they had only tiny small Sits
where their eyes should have been.
That was the fore part of the week,
however, and Jerry now is proof
that no one is immune. She still
liked the pretty leaves and went
with friend to look at them again.
The second contact was too much
for her and she soon became a
partner in misery with Grandma
and Billy.

New Quarters
Set Up In Askov
For Red & White
Grocery Stock Owned by
Rasmus Petersen Moved
Into Remodeled Building.

Workmen have been busy during
the past three weeks remodeling the
old drug store building recently ac-
quired by Svend Petersen and early
this week it was completed to the eX-
tent that RasmuS Petersen moved his
Red & White grocery stock into it,
from his former location in the Erik
sen building.
The new home of the store is To-
Gated next door to the Eriksen build
ing and it has been completely re-
modelled with FirteX used through
out the interior with new maple floor
ing. Large display windows and a
new imitation brick siding on the
front facing the street have been
installed. New lighting fixtures and
white enamel throughout makes the
store comparable to any in this Sec
ton of the state.
Mr.. Petersen has been in business
in Askov during the past six years,
having purchased the business in
company with Thorvald Sorensen
from Chris Eriksen, who now operates
the 61-Way Cafe in Pine City. About
three years ago Mr.. Petersen bought
out his partner and since that time,
with the efficient aid of Mrs. Peter
sen, has conducted the business. His
stock of groceries and meats are al
ways fresh and his already satisfied
clientele are expected to find the new
quarters much more suitable to their
needs.

Askov School To
Receive $4,000
Federal Grant
Money Will be Matched by
Local District to Con-
struct New Addition.

Negotiations have been under way
for several weeks with the Public
Works Administration for a grant
of $4,000 to aid in the construction
of a class room and school audito-
rium-gymnasium addition to the local
school building and finally on Tuesday
the Board of Education was notified
that the grant had been made and the
project approved.
On September 20, a special bond
election was held in the district and
at that time it was voted to bond the
district for the required amount as
sponsors share of the project. The
State Investment Board will purchase
the districts bonds and these will
mature along with the present bonded
indebtedness of the district so that
minimum of increase in tax levy
will be necessary to get much
needed project.
AS soon as formal offer of the grant
from PWA is received plans will be
started for the building and bids for
construction will be asked for so that
work may be started as soon as pos
Sible.
New Heating Plant.
One of the important facilities Of
fered by the new project will be
complete new heating plant to re-
place the one now used. For long
time the old heating system has been
inadequate and to purchase a new
one to replace it would have required
an expenditure of several thousand
dollars, according to the board. This
being included in the new project,
will make it all the more desirable
and since it is being done at this time,
government help may be had.
Local men who desire to be en-
ployed on the project must register
with the unemployment office on
Wednesday of each week at Sand
stone, it has been announced by
Architect E. F. Broomhall of Duluth,
who has been engaged to supervise
the project The local board of
Education has nothing to do with
employing workmen. 1t is customary
to give all available local labor first
consideration on a PWA project, it
has been promised.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last week it was said here that
British Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain and French Premier Edouard
Daladier might survive the storm
aroused by their betrayal of Czecho-
slovakia at Munich. They did. After
a stormy debate in the House of
Commons, London, Chamberlain re-
ceived a more than comfortable vote
of confidence, and the French Cham
Der of Deputies in the same manner
expressed its appreciation of Dala-
dier's efforts. To what extent the
sentiments of the British and French
peoples were represented by these
expressions of confidence, is still a
question.
There was, of course, general re-
joicing that a new European war
was averted as a result of the sell
out at Munich, but sober afterthought
has prompted in a good many OBJ
serving minds the fear that although
war preparations were halted, peace
was not put on any securer founda-
ton than before. Then there is this,
too, that serious doubts are enter
tanned concerning the actual pros
pect of a war two weeks ago; more
and more it dawns on people in the
nations most directly interested, that
the threat of war was really nothing
much more than monstrous bluff,
manipulated with equal facility by
Hitler and MuSsolini on one, Cham
berlain and Daladier on the other
side. Also, it is pretty generally be-
lieved that none of the powers would
be ready for test right now-al of
them wanted to postpone it until
their preparations for war had been
adequately completed. Which means
that while the peace of Munich
STAYED off, as it seems, a war just
now, it paved the way for one still
more formidable, for during the
breathing spell all those concerned
will have ample time to perfect their
machinery for the next world catas-
trophe.
Someone this week said that the
Versailles peace of 1919 was a peace
after the war; the Munich peace OF
1888 a peace before the war, and that
Just about sums it up.
BeneS Retires.
For the temporary pause Czecho-
slovakia paid the price; the perpetra-
tors of the Munich agreement paid
nothing; they were not called on to
sacrifice any part of their own terri
tory but helped themselves to some
body else's. Having concocted the

Hog Prices At
Years Bottom
Liberal Arrivals Send Top
Down; Cattle are Steady;
Lamb Supplies Heavy.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. II,
1888: Continuing to be influenced
by liberal arrivals, hog prices broke
into new low ground for the sea-
son, and on Tuesday had equalled
the years low top. This price was
$765 and represented the low point
for 1888, according to the Federal
State Market News Service. Com
pared with the close of last week,
hog prices are Csc to 35c lower, and
a net decline of $1.00 on the top
end has been enforced since the first
of the month. Last weeks hog ar
rivals at South st. Paul totaled in
excess of $4,000 head, while for the
first two days of this week an ap-
proximated number of $4,000 was
received.
Supplies of cattle suitable for
slaughter were surprisingly small.
Mondays run of around 5000 head
included the largest quota of western
bred stock calves of the season. De-
mand for these was good, however,
and prices ruled fully as high as at
this time year ago. In the slaugh-
ter section trading moved along at
steady levels, grassers predominating
in all classes. A few choice fed light
weights brought $11.00, odd head
$11.5O Most granted steers and
yearlings earned $3.50 to $11.00, with
bulk consisting of medium short-feds
and grassers at $500 to $3.50. Grass
ers predominated in the heifer divis-
ion also, sales largely at $3.50 to $500,
although few medium to good short
feds made $3.50 to $500. Cows were
steady, while vealers and bulls also
held steady Choice western stock
calves made $3.50 to $3.50 and most
good to choice yearlings and steers
for replacement purposes cleared at
$500 to $8.25. Plain native stockers
were to be had at $3.50 to $3.50.
Dairy cows ruled steady to weak,
shipper kinds largely $1,000 to $4,000,
extremes $500. Plain and medium
cows brought $45.00 to $500 in a
slow trade.
Values in the sheep and lamb trade
showed little net change on early days
this week. Supplies were fairly lib
eral, but all classes found broad out
let. Strictly choice 80 pound Mon
tana lambs scored $40 on shipper
account, but good and choice natives
and Dakotas bulked at $3.50 to SITS.
Gull to choice slaughter ewes sold
within a $1.00 to $500 spread, and
medium to choice yearling wethers
within $500 to $6.25 spread. Good
and choice range feeding lambs
brought$ 700 to $7.35, Dakotas $6.25
to $6.75, and most natives $3.50 to
$500.

Is Raced At Willow

The building in Willow River that
housed the pine County Farmer" the
last IL years of its existence and also
the post office from January 1915 to
1880, was torn down this week. It
was owned by E. B. Linsley who

having recently bought the place.
Joseph Bochek had the oppor-
tunity to see the Swedish Prince
and Princess who were enter
tanned at the home of Senator and
Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg only two
blocks from his mothers home.
When the royal party started to
make the drive to a reception the
neighbors gathered and had a
good chance to see royalty at
close range. Joe and his sister,
Minnie, were there.
The lumber in the old building will
be used to repair the Linsley home
