Sturgeon Team Will
Play For Trophy

A meeting was held at Carlton
Tuesday night to discuss the Skog
Trophy playoff. Cloquet, occupy
ing first place, was to play the run
nerup. Sturgeon Lake and South
Superior being tied for second place,
there was a discussion as to which
team should play Cloquet. Sturgeon
Lake felt that although Cloquet de-
feated them Sunday they were still
the better team. There was some talk
of South Superior and Cloquet being
paired and Sturgeon Lake and Kettle
River being paired.
The Lakers, however, thought they
should have another chance at Clo-
quet, so South Superior stepped aside
and it was finally decided that Stur-
geon Lake should play Cloquet at
Cloquet on Sunday, September 4.
The loser of this game is automati-
cally out of the running for the Skog
Trophy.

Conservation Club
To Sponsor Range

The Askov Conservation club,
which conducted a target range in
Askov fair day, will again have the
range in operation Saturday night.
Besides the regular competitive shoot
ing the club will give two good
prizes for highest and next highest
score made in 10 shots.
Much interest has been displayed
in the activity and it is possible
that several from Finlayson will be
here to ''tangle" in friendly COMPETE
ton with some of the local boys as
they did last summer at the Ruta-
baga Festival.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

At Lanark, Scotland, Sir John
Simon, British chancellor of the eX-
chequer-and one-time foreign min
ister-the other day delivered an ad-
dress meant not so much for his i'm
mediate constituents as for world con-
sumption, for to him had been dele
gated the task of stating Great Brit
aims attitude toward Central Euro
pean problems which just now are
veXing statesmen grievouSly.
In true diplomatic fashion Sir John
did not commit himself or his gov
eminent, did not venture out on
fragile ice; shorn of all it's velvety
verbiage, the speech was simply a
reiteration of statements issued on
former occasions; an assurance that
if certain conditions arise, Great Brit
ain may do something about them
More specifically, Sir John pointed
out that in the event of active Ger
man aggression against Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Great Britain may act. He did
not say that Great Britain would
merely that it may. Had he said
bluntly and plainly: If Germany at
tacks Czecho-Slovakia, Great Britain
will attack Germany, the situation
would have been less muddled than
it now is. But his government would
in that case, have undertaken defin-
lite obligation. 1t did not now.
Pressure on Prague.
However, the speech was generally
interpreted as a veiled-one may say
deeply veiled-threat against Hitler
he was told, in effect, that Great Brit
ain might look with disfavor on any

|Kerrick Fair To
Include Fun And
Education Items
The Committee Promises
A ''Bigger and Better
Event This Year.

For the goth consecutive year, Ker-
rick is holding its Community fair in
its busy little town. AS for the 19
previous years, the slogan of Bigger
and Better is to be more and more
realized. The committees have been
laboring night and day in mind and
body to make this day one of merri-
ment and thorough enjoyment in
every way for Kerrick visitors
Among other events of the day will
be the amusing and profitable enve-
lope scramble, in which hundreds of
envelopes, many of them containing
coupons emitting the holder to worth
while prizes, will be dropped from
an airplane as it speeds over the
fair grounds. It's real treat to see
both Riddles and groWn-upS chase
after the elusive prizes. Floats pre-
pared and designed and sponsored
by friends, neighborS and business
houses will form part of parade
depicting various stages in the path
way of civilization. Entertainers will
keep any moments from seeming
empty. There will be something do
ing and something to do every minute
Exhibits, as always, form an i'm
portant part of the Kerrick fair. In
past years, the displays of farm pro-
duce, women's handiwork and bakery
goods, canned goods and flowers have
been numerous and of high quality.
The Kerrick event has enjoyed a
reputation for having displays equal
to, and in many cases, eXcelling
county fairs and small community
fairs throughout the state. This year,
the committee again hopes to have
fine displays, bigger and better than
ever before.
Exhibits Urged.
Everyone is urged to bring in any
product that he or she may wish to
exhibit needlework of all kinds,
cakes, pies, canned goods and farm
produce. Everyone is urged and in
vited to make this fair still better
known for its fine exhibits.
Sports of every description will
engage many minutes of the day of
fun for those who participate and
those who watch. Horseshoe play
ers are asked to get in early for the
morning horseshoe contest Barrel
races, kittenball game, merry-go-
round, boxing matches that will keep
you breathless, pie-eating contest that
is more fun than a picnic" These
are but few of the items to fill the
day at the Kerrick fair with fun.
One of the most interesting features
of the day for those who attended
last year, and for anyone who has
friends at the fair, will be the show
ing of movies taken of last years
event. There are "shots" of the air.
plane peanut scramble, the stunt fly
ing, sports events and characteristic
Snaps" of people on the grounds.
Everyone, it is anticipated, will be
interested in seeing his or her own
self on the screen. The camera fiend
will be on the scene again this year
to catch the individual faces for next
years presentation.
The day will be complete with a
night of swaying to the melodies and
rhythm of Yale Libman and his Mel
ody Masters from Minneapolis. Come
to the Kerrick fair, say the boosters
there, and have day filled with real
fun. There you'll meet all your
friends and neighbors.

Askov Fair Gets
Much Interest
From Exhibitors
Quantity and Quality of
Display Exceeds Fondest
Expectations.

ASkov'S first fair in recent years
is now history and the event was sue
ceSsful from the standpoint of attend
ance, exhibits and enjoyment. The
fair opened with Friday being entry
day. Saturday was the main fair
day. Saturdays program was begun
with an elaborate parade headed by
the band and community floats.
Practically all business places en-
tered floats and their appearance
showed that much work had been
expended. The community floats re-
quired several days of work and
thought by several of the committee
and workmen in the community.
The first one depicted the old times
of the community showing log cabin
and barn surrounded by a pine for
est and stumps. That one was fol-
lowed by some of the pioneers of the
community who were available to
the committee and who carried old
farm implements. The second COM
munity float dealt with more modern
conditions as enjoyed today. The
float itself contained modern set
of farm buildings surrounded by pine
trees and we'll kept yard and that
float was followed in the parade by
sons of the pioneers, with modern
implements.
The Program.
The days program included the
placing of the prize winners, sports
program, speaking, dedication of the
village park, baseball game, fun at
the various stands and booths on the
midway and a dance in the evening.
During the noon hour the bicycle
parade was won by Lloyd johnson,
Alvin Madsen and Marvin Jensen,
placing first, second and third re-
spectively. The Hinckley American
Legion team beat Askov 9 to in the
baseball game.
Prof. Were Speaks.
The speaker of the day was Prof.
T. S. Were, of the Central Expert
ment Station at Grand Rapids, who
was also the judge of some exhibits
at the fair. Mr.. Were gave several
observations of the Askov fair and
fairs in general, saying that fairs
should mean more to the average per-
son than just a place to have fun.
He said they should be a place of
learning. They can demonstrate that
the farm can be a place which pays
dividends in contentment and salts
faction rather than just dollars and
cents
Prof. Where's work at the Expert
ment Station has to do with horti-
culture His talk was preceded by
County Agent Max McMillin, who
introduced him and who judged the
livestock, and by A. M. Simonsen,
secretary of the fair committee.
Mr.. Simonsen thanked everyone
who aided in any way in making the
fair the success that is was and eX-
planned the work which had been re-
quired to sponsor such an under
taking.
The Kerrick community sent dele
cation of more than 20, headed by
Jas. H. Hogan, to the fair.
Exhibits are Large.
Many were the farm, livestock, All
Club and women's department ex-
hibits, the latter being judged by Mrs.
L. o. Carlson of Cambridge. The All
Club livestock exhibits were entered
in the open contest as there were only
