Rainbo Players
Show In AskOv

Only a small crowd saw the OPEN
ing play and vaudeville given by the
Rainbo or Wilder players as they
are sometimes known, due mostly to
the lack of advertising and bad
weather. They scheduled Askov for
the season too late for last week S
issue of the Askov American.
The troupe made mighty good"
impression with those who saw them
in their first performance here and
their show on each Tuesday night is
expected to draw good crowds. Their
advertisement appears elsewhere in
this issue.
Mr.. Wilder and his troupe have
been at Willow River and various
towns in this section for the past
four years and their good reputation
as players preceded them here. Be-
sides their play they render a good
comic and musical vaudeville be-
tween each act. Several Askov mer-
chants are sponsoring their appear
ances here and with merchant tickets
the admission is set at low figure.

Rifle Clubs Shoot
A Free Hand Match

Askov, Bruno, Finlayson and Sand
stone rifle clubs held one of their
regular shoots Sunday morning in
the Askov gravel pit and when the
scores were totaled it was found
that Finlayson was high, with Askov,
Sandstone and Bruno following in
order.
The match was shot in free hand
style and the gusty wind brought
otherwise high scorers low and the
low scores lower so there are no
scores which the boys are proud to
display with the exception of a 70
turned in by Hans Nielsen of the
Askov team. Frank Traxler was
high for Bruno with 81, John Otterer
for Finlayson with IS and Victor
Lundquist for Sandstone with So.
The total score for the various
teams shooting free hand follows:
Finlayson 1876, Askov 1876, Sandstone
391 and Bruno 385.

Last Rites For
Sandstone Lady
Mrs. Lena Meidlinger Had
Resided in Finlayson and
Sandstone Communities.

Funeral services were held for
Mrs. Lena Meidlinger of the Sand
stone community, from the Peace
Lutheran church in Finlayson Friday.
Rev. Larson of Sandstone, offciated,
and burial was made in the Peace
Lutheran cemetery with Cecil john
son, Ben Stockamp, Fred Martin,
Jorgen Hansen, Otto Petry and Henry
Kettelhon acting as pallbearers.
Many floral offerings marked tri-
butte from large circle of friends.
Mrs. Meidlinger was operated
upon at the University hospital in
Minneapolis on May z, and it was
thought that she was getting along
nicely just before the time she was
stricken fatally on May Is. Her
maiden name was Lena Daudt and
she was born in Saxony, Germany,
on July 4, 1875. She came to the
United States with her parents in
1880 when they settled at Grand
Island, Nebr. She grew to woman
hood there and was united in mar
riage to Joe Meidlinger. They re-
sided there until 1914 when they
moved to Finlayson where they
farmed for several years. The seven
children, Mrs. Lee Speer of Bayard,
Nebr.; Gust of Sandstone, Carl of
Finlayson, Louis, Arthur and Frank
of st. Paul, and Alfred of Granite
Falls, were born in Nebraska. The
husband passed away June %, 1880.
Mrs. Meidlinger was very much in
terested in church work and was a
kind mother and good neighbor. Her
aged mother resides in Nebraska but
was not able to come to the funeral.
After Mr.. Meidlinger's death she and
her son left the farm and went to
the village of Finlayson to live. Dur
ing the past five years she had been
a resident of Sandstone. Besides her
children and mother she is survived
by "a grandchildren and four great
grandchildren.
Out of town relatives at the fun
eral included all of the sons and their
wives, Mrs. Martha Daudt, sister-in-
law, and three daughters, daugh-
ter-in-law and two sons of Isanti;
and Mr.. Novak, father of Mrs. Frank
Meidlinger of Willow River. Also
some friends from away in attend
ance included Mrs. Frank Weiland
and two daughters and a son from
Estherville, Iowa; Viola Brabec of
Denham, and others from Sandstone

Farmers Urged
To Organize For
Own Interests
Striegl, Brandt, Johnson
and Selvig Speak at An
nual Land O'Lakes Meet.

The need of organization by farm
ers to protect their interests was
stressed by the speakers at the annual
spring meeting of District 2, Land
O'Lakes Creameries, which was held
at Zimmerman May 10. In the eve
ming the annual banquet to the cream
cry operators and their wives was
held. S. A. Striegl, Pine City, presi-
dent of the district, presided. In his
talk he declared that there was danger
of fascism creeping into some of the
economic relationships
John Brandt, president of Land
O'Lakes Creameries, declared that we
must learn to discipline ourselves or
someone else will. He stressed the
need of increasing the income of the
farmer so that the national income
would be increased. The national
income is about eight times the farm
income, he said. He said that there
was no way that the interest and
principal could be paid on the private
debt and the huge public debt except
Emil C. Johnson, assistant man
ager and treasurer, explained the
situation as to powdered milks and
discussed their manufacture.
Buttermakers Complimented.
Emil Selvig, chief of the Division
of Cooperatives, of the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food, at the evening banquet, COM
plimented the operators of the dis
trict on their record of efficiency.
''The creamery operators of 80 and
40 years ago were one of the big
factors that made the cooperative
creameries of today possible. Those
who follow today must continue in
the same forward path and not break
faith. Because the cooperatives have
become so effective and efficient, the
operators today cannot show the same
physical benefits, but it is the opera
tors job to keep the patrons Informed
of the necessity of cooperatives today
even if the margin of benefit is not
as great as it used to be. Further,
they must keep them informed of the
needs of a central organization like
Land O'Lakes. The individual cream
cry is not any more self-sufficient
than is the individual farmer who
has found it necessary to form his
local cooperative creamery. That the
farmers in the creamery field have
confined themselves to one central
organization, Land O'Lakes, is a
splendid thing.
Winners in the district efficiency
contest were Gustave A. Hellzen,
Stacy, 1854 disqualified because of
winning grand sweepstakes at state
contest); Earnest Bliss, Royal-Bra-
ham, $3.50, first; Carl Enstad, Bruno,
9949, second.

County Engineer
Will Replaced
By New Official
County Board Takes Ac-
ton in Its Regular Meet
ing on Wednesday.

County Engineer H. v. Jorgensen,
who has been highway engineer for
Pine county since the early 1920s, will
be replaced by the board of county
commissioners as soon as a successor
can be obtained. Action in releas-
ing Mr.. Jorgensen from his duties
in the county was taken at the May
meeting due to the passage of law
at the 1887 session of the legislature
which requires that the county engi-
neer in each county within the state
be either rehired for a term of two
years or that his services be termin-
ated
Joseph E. Therrien, county auditor,
will 60 to the State Highway Depart
ment today to get list of available
engineers.
Another matter which the board
took up was the disorganization of
Keene township. That township, &C
cordingly with Belden, will be in
the unorganized territory henceforth.

townships in the county met with
Miss Julia Newton, state home DEM
onstration leader, and Max McMillin,
county agent, in Sandstone Thurs
day, May 10, to formulate plans for

WMo,o Bee-keeper
And Wife Make Good

Mr.. and Mrs. A. V. Prachar who
came to Willow River Is years ago
from what is now known as Czecho-
Slovakia, live on a farm one mile
north of the village. They have
a grown family of two children, both
graduates of the local high school.
Otto, the son, is University of Min
nesota graduate from the college of
engineering and at present is located
at Milwaukee, Wis. The daughter,
Mrs. Kermit Peterson, lives in Min
neapolis where Mr.. Peterson is attend
ing agricultural college. Mr.. and
Mrs. Prachar have been successful
farmers and besides the regular farm
work, they both have hobbies. He
as bee raiser and she with chickens
She is also good housekeeper and
makes fine koloshes. He has about
125 hives at the present time and has
done very well financially all these
years.
Mr.. Prachar is well verSed in the
cultivation and management of bees.
His apiary or stock of bee hives is
situated where the bees have large
range to go for honey. In former
years there was an abundance of
white clover and early blossoms such
as plums, cherries and wild flowers
to supply a large amount of bees but
the drouth of the last few years has
killed the clover to some extent and
there is not such an abundance of
food as in former years. For material
for the hives wood has the advantage
over straw or glass unless one wants
to observe the bees at work then,
of course, glass is better. They re-
quire attention at the time of swarm
ing, that they may not fly away and
be lost.
When they swarm they usually light
on a limb of a tree or some nearby
object and are then taken in box
or pail and placed in a hive. They
also have to be fed in winter. A COM
mon rule is that the weight of the
contents of a hive must be at least
20 pounds, that they may survive
the winter without being fed. Bee
farming is carried on in nearly all
countries but on the largest scale in
the United States and Canada. South
ern California is the paradise of bee
keepers.

News Review
BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

During the last few days there have
been two European war flare-ups
which caused, for while, big head
lines and accelerated heart palpita-
tons; the first was due to diplomatic
friction between France and Italy, the
second to events connected with the
Sudeten-German movem ent in
Czecho-Slovakia. Alarmists screamed
that new world war was imminent;
was, in fact, unavoidable, while calm
er observers, taking all known facts
into consideration, refused to share
the excitement.
The first cause for alarm was the
fact that negotiations between France
and Italy leading to an accord some
thing like that recently signed be-
tween Italy and Great Britain struck
a snag: Italy seemed unwilling to
enter into any friendship agreement
with France unless the Paris govern
ment promised that it would stop Rus
sian and other war material, con-
signed to the legitimist Spanish gov
eminent, at the Franco-Spanish Dor
der; Italy also limited that French
withdrawal from the alliance with
Soviet Russia would be highly de-
Sirable.
Then, too, Italy-for obscure rea-
sons-insisted that France must not
recruit additional troops in Tunis, a
French possession in North Africa,
and to emphasize the demand, Italian
troops were rushed clear across the
Libyan desert to point not far from
the Tunesian frontier.
France Answers.
Edouard Daladier, prime minister
of France, replied that the question
of closing French borders to Russian
consignments had better await dis
cussion until Italy had removed her
soldiers from the Spanish rebel
armies, and as for abstaining from
Tunesian recruiting-why, France had
lust sent out a call for $4,000 North
African recruits! That was all.
At the same time the British gov
eminent let it be known that in a
