Fishing Orders Clarified
BIZ Game, Fish DiUisiOn.

The following letter has been received
by Chief Warden Joseph Krall from
Ed. McKeever, deputy director of the
law enforcement bureau of the depart
ment. The letter explains itself and
is as follows:
1--WE specifically call to your atten-
ton that angling of any kind, includ-
ing rough fish, such as suckers, red
horse, eelpout or lawyers, is prohibited
in accordance with the governors order
especially desire to bring to your at
tention of winter fishing, that it is our
desire to have all wardens handle any
violations of the governors order with
the utmost care. We believe that 1t will
be better that the wardens proceed to
try and educate the people to comply
with the order than to go out and pro-
coed to make wholesale arrests"

Growing Up With Your Child
University of Minnesota Institute of Child Welfare

complain about is in part due to
children's ignorance of the efforts that
have been put into creating of prop
erty. Take books or magazines, for ex-
ample. What young child has seen the
many steps, the long succession of pro-
ceSSes by means of which they are put
together? To him, they are just so
much paper. He sees people tearing up
newspapers and old magazines almost
daily, how can he, without a little help,
discriminate?
The boy and girl who helped in the
manufacture Of their own clothing must
have had a much more healthy respect
for the garments they wore than our
children can possibly have for those
they, at most, help to pick out at the
store. Listen to what went on in the
old-faShioned home, of an evening:
Often by the freight in the evening
every member of the household might
be seen at work on the various stages
of wool manufacture or some of its
necessary adjunct. The old grand
mother, at light and easy work, is card
ing the wool into fleecy rolls, seated
next the fire. The mother, stepping
lightly, spins the roll into yarn on the
great wheel. The eldest daughter sits
at the clock-reel, whose buzz and click
mingle with the humming rise and fall
of the Wool-Wheel, and the irritating
scratch, scratch of the cards. A little
girl at small wheel is filling quilts
with wooden yarn for the loom; the ir-
regular sound shows her intermittent
industry. The father is setting fresh
teeth in the wool-card, while the boys
are whiting hand-reels and loom
spoolS."
Doesn't it seem probable that after
a child had seen and engaged in the
steps by means of which his breeches
finally took form he would tend toward
being a little more thoughtful about his
care of them?

| the side or front. All of the blouses
may be worn with both skirts. The re-
suit is a woman can dress differently
every day and always look smart with
out having spent much money, eSpeci-
ally if she can sew.
If your activities call for evening
clothes, have your ankle length skirt
made of black silk jersey and of course
pencil slim. If your activities demand
only clothes of street length, you still
want black skirt Cor it may be navy
blue or brown about IA inches from the
floor and made with straight lines.
Now let's select or make six blouses
l. For sports wear and all casual
occasions there is a regulation Shirt
waist type with the pleated front, studs
and tailored collar. Sleeves may be
long or short as you wish.
and 8. A print blouse that is
really two blouseS. But that needs a
bit of explaining. A sash that may
wrap around you twice if you are thin,
one whose ends may tuck in or trail
to almost the skirt hem, is added to the
print blouse to give it an altogether
different appearance. The sash should
be of the dominating color of the print
or the print itself. This gives you a
blouse that is really two blouses, be-
cause it may be worn with or without
the sash. When worn with a sash you
get much dressier effect.
4. Now we have three blouSes. Let's
see what the fourth will be. It is the
backbone of the wardrobe-the sweater
classic to be worn tucked in or not, as
you wish. 1t has short or long sleeves
and a simple round neckline. It is soft
cashmere. You wear it all day long
any place and every place. Sweater
tops are fashionably worn with even
ing skirts. Of course the sweater
sleeves are Short0
S. The so-called rumba blouse is
worn to give you dressed up feeling
but even so it is tailored blouse. 1t is
a blousy blouse made with blouSy
sleeves that are elbow length or just
above the wrist. The neckline may be
v or high and round. The material is
rayon crepe and of plain color.
Blushing pink is new with black Smoke
blue is smart with navy and maize
with brown
6. A trick blouse that becomes an
evening top for the long skirt is made
with tucks that go round and round
several rows of them, the first row
coming just above the bustline and
hiding an all way round upper. Pull
the upper, remove the top sleeves and
all and attach shoulder straps and you
have an evening top.

JOB BENEFITS
BEING PAID
Jobless Urged to Give Accurate
Information to Officials in
Filing Claims.

Failure of unemployed workers to
state correctly the names Of their last
employers is handicapping the Mime
sofa Unemployment Compensation di-
vision in the clearing of claims for
benefits.
Unemployed workers should state
the full business name and address OF
last employers in filing their claims, to
make possible prompt checking against
accounts of employers and workers,
Frank T. Starkey, industrial commits
sioner in charge, urged, as checks for
the first week of compensate I'M
employment were being put into the
mail for several thousand workers.
Workers separated from jobs should
ask their last employers for the en-
ployer's name and registration number
as recorded with the unemployment
compensation division. This informa-
ton then should be shown on claims for
benefits.
Unemployed workers who fail to give
this and other vital information on
their benefit claims may be required
to wait extra days while the division
checks their claims, Commissioner
Starkey said.
The number of weeks Of benefits to
which unemployed workers now re-
ceiving checks under the Minnesota
Unemployment Compensation law are
entitled depends upon their earnings
during the first nine months of 1897
Earnings during October, November and
December of 1887 cannot be counted in
determining the duration of benefit
claims filed before April l, 1888, Mr.
Starkey pointed out.
Minnesota employers subject to the
states unemployment compensation law
will be required to make contributions
and reports on quarterly basis during
1898, Mr.. Starkey announced. The first
contribution and report for 1888 will be
for the months of January, February
and March and will be due not later
than April 80, 1888. A monthly re-
porting system was in effect during
the last quarter of 1887.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Editor:
Daor Cir.

The Editor:
Dear Sir:
Before our discussion of the compare
tive merits of the present Social Sc
curity act and the General Welfare act
is continued, an event of the utmost
Importance must be reported. Last
week at meeting held in Washington
delegates representing all pension
groups except the Townsend organlza-
ton agreed on a common front. This
means that instead of each pension
group urging congress to consider Its
own pension ideas, these various plans
are now combined into one, and all
these groups Except the Townsend
group, numbering many millions IN
membership, are with all their united
strength behind the new plan. This
move, too, has made it easier for con-
gressmen. Indeed it was they who in
sisted on the amalgamation. Obviously,
congressman could not pledge support
of five or six pension plans, all diff
ferent, but they can put their strength
behind one plan, especially If that plan
is the reasonable result Of the labors
of the best minds in the pension groups
and the congressional steering COM
mittee, of which our own congressman
is a member. Further, many congress
men who are unalterably opposed to
enactment of the Townsend Plan, are
glad to support this new proposal. As
Congressman Bertrand H. Smell R)
minority floor leader put it: well, il
you fellows had started out that way
in the beginning, you would have gotter
somewhere" That of cuorse is the
opinion of many others, and so, coupled
with the almost universal opinion that
the present law must be liberalized, the
future looks bright.
The G. w. A. was a modified sort o.
Townsend Plan, designed to meet the
principal objections. The changes made
last week scaled down still more, the
idea being that our action must be like
driving a wedge, little more each blow
The latest changes are as follows:
gross income tax of go takes the place
of the transaction tax; elimination o.
the enforced spending provision and ths
S200-a-month ceiling. The total mum
Der of people over 60 is II million, AMI
if all apply, the pension would be abou
500 per month. 1t is, however, esti
mated that not more than million vii
apply, in which case the month";.
amount would be about $87.
In any case, legislators feel here L
a defensible bill with a good chance a
passage. They also feel that month";.
$50 to $50 in hand is better than a per.
petual dream of 5000.

VIRGINIA Wins
FROM ELYQUIAT
Queen City Basketeers Garner
Ely Lead to Trounce Ely
High, 30 to %.

With the Queen City high school
basketball team running up big mar
gin in the opening period and then
maintaining the lead throughout the
game, the Virginia cage quint defeated
the Ely high hoop squad with a score
of 80 to % in game played at Vir-
ginia last Wednesday evening.
Held almost scoreless in the first
quarter the Ely boys came to life in the
second frame and threatened to over
take the Virginians when they came
within four points of the leaders but
the Bluedevils put on squirt to draw
away from the Elyites and leave the
floor at halftime with a II to adj
vantage. Hitting still faster pace in
the third canto the Virginia five con-
tinued to draw away from the locals
and had built up commanding lead
of 80 to Is going into the fourth
quarter. Ely drew up in the final
stanza and did the best scoring of the
entire game.
The locals played an unusually clean
brand of ball with only three personal
fouls called on them during the entire
game, two of them being on the same
player. OF the ten Ely players who saw
action in the contest, eight of them had
the distinction of not committing one
foul. Virginia, by contrast, had IA fouls
called for personal violations
Pelto was the high point man of the
contest with four field goals and a
free throw for total of eight points.
Three of his buckets were scored in
rapid succession in the third period
when the Virginians produced their
scoring squirt. Joe Perko was high for
Ely, connecting with three goals for

Minneapolis, Feb. 3-From all the re-
ports we hear it seems that French
women are always well dressed. That
may all be very true but how does the
French woman whose clothes budget is
decidedly limited manage it? I can
give you at least one answer to that.
Two skirts and a half dozen or more
blouses will turn the trick. In Paris
you need one skirt of street length
and the other ankle length and split at

With the announcement that
the band will present its first
concert of the season, the Amer
lean Legion and Auxiliary serv-

given to the American Legion

village hall and right beside that
and near it will play the band
and whirl the merry-go-round.

Several Confirmed
At Finlayson

A very large crowd attended the
Peace Lutheran confirmation service
at Finlayson Sunday. Members of
the congregation and visitors from
Geise, Kroschel, the Twin Cities and
from the Finlayson National Lutheran
church crowded the auditorium and
the hall of the new Peace church.
Some were compelled to remain out
side.
The church was fittingly decorated
with flowers which were furnished
by friends and the mothers of the
class. The members of the class were
appropriately dressed for the occa-
sion, the girls in white and the boys
in dark suits; each member of the
class. wore pink carnation. The
examination showed that the class
has fine grasp of Christian doctrine.
According to the pastor of the
church, Rev. H. Sporleder, last Sum-
days class was the largest in the
history of the local congregation.
Most of the ii members were under
the personal instruction of the pastor
for the past two years. According to
Rev. Sporleder this was also his larg-
est class since his entrance into the
ministry. After the service parents
and friends of the class gathered to
extend congratulations and best wish
es, after which Mrs. H. Miller and
Mrs. Schoenrock of Kroschel, took

Final Rest Given
TOAWellknoWn
Askov Resident
Frede Stettrup Passes
Away to End Suffering of
IL Years Duration.

Death graciously eased the pain
of Frede Joseph Rasmus Stottrup and
gave him final rest last Thursday at
BIS p. m. He had been suffering for IL
years with arthritis, but almost until
the last he kept abreast of the times
and took an interest in his surround
ings. Rev. Stottrup, as he was known
in his late active years, was patient
through it all and enjoyed greatly to
have friends and neighbors call and
talk with him or sing to him and with
him. His was character worthy of
example.
Rev. Stottrup was born March ID,
1885 in Shetland, Denmark, and came
to the United States in the winter
of 1892 and to the Askov community
March l, 1910. Before coming here,
however, he resided in Chicago from
1892 to 1900; Greenville, Mich, in
1906 and the four years just before
he came to Askov he spent in Nysted
Folk school and at Trufant, Mich.
The early years of his life were
spent as carpenter and farmer and
later as minister, being ordained in
West Denmark, Wis, July 18, 1923.
The early months of his residence in
this community were spent in the en-
ploy of RasmuS Petersen in his store,
after which he took up farming on the
place which was his home when he
died. On July 18, 1923, he went as
minister to the Brush, Colo, congre-
cation, but returned to Askov April
5, 1927, where he had been i'll since
Rev. Stottrup was united in mar
riage to Mari Jensen at Cozad, Nebr,
Dec. 8, 1907 and to them were born
six sons and one daughter, who sur
vive with their mother. They are
Harold, Svend, Left, Erling, Sigurd,
Hedge and daughter, Ingrid. All were
home for the funeral except Ingrid
and Erling who are in California.
The funeral was held Sunday aft
ernoon at 2 p. m. from the Danish
Lutheran church in Askov with Rev.
jobs Knudsen and Rev. j. P. Andrea
sen officiating. Pallbearers were J. B.
Jensen, Clifford Krantz, N. P. Mel
sen, Emil Fogt, Michael Petersen,
Adolf Jensen, Christian Sorensen,
Alexander Paulsen, Peter Sorensen,
Charles Krantz, S. Chr. Dixen and
Georg Lindegaard.
A large attendance at the services
spoke eloquently of the esteem in
which the deceased was held and
many friends far and near will join
in extension of condolences and un-
derstanding to the family.
