Burglars Busy
Again In This
Part OF County
Periodical Visit of Thieves
is ''Enjoyed" by Askov on
Monday Night.

There was early hustle and hustle
Tuesday morning when business peo-
pie in Askov came to work to find
that burglars had visited three places
during the night. The Pine Coop
Oil Association garage, the Red &
White Store and the post office were
the places entered and of these Clar-
ence Morgensen of the garage, suf-
fered the greatest loss, for the thieves
stole his new Chevrolet car.
It is apparent that the thieves first
entered the garage through a rear
window after having acquired for
themselves some brakeshoe pins from
railroad car. While in the garage
they took some of Mr.. Morgensen's
chisels and used them for attempted
entry to the large post office safe
which they ruined in the process
Entrance was made through the rear
basement doors which they Unattached
after breaking a window pane. Moth
ing, however, was taken from the
post office since the safe foiled their
attempts.
Get Cash From Store.
1t appears that the thieves then
went across the street where they
broke in the front plate glass door in
the Red & White Store and pried
open the cash register. From that
they took about $18 in change and
then helped themselves to three bot
ties of cream in the refrigerator.
Of course after all their work they
could not be expected to leave town
on foot so they helped themselves to
the new Chevrolet that stood just
inside the door of the garage. No
trace of the car has yet been had and
Mr.. Morgensen had to get another
new car for delivery to Deputy Sheriff
Lenard Lund, who was to have re-
ceived the stolen one the very next
day, noon.
Sheriffs' forces were in town Tues
day morning and went to work on
the case and a Federal Bureau in
spector was here Wednesday. Meager
clues are to be had, but it is thought
that the thieves stopped at Beroun
and stole some gas from a station.
Robberies Cleared at Sandstone.
Seven robberies were cleared up
at Sandstone with the apprehension
of Ray Gilliver who was found hid
ing at the home of sister in Superior
Wis, after he had escaped the Sand
stone village marshal few nights
before. At hearing in Justice Tom
have's court Wednesday, Gilliver
confessed to burglarizing the Sand
stone lumber yard, two feed stores,
schoolhouse, Pine Coop Oil Station,
Hawley's Store and the Herb Gabriel
son garage.
He will be taken before Judge
Alfred P. Stolberg at Center City
today where he will be sentenced.

Livestock Prices
Lower This Week
Increased Receipts Influ-
ence Decline in Hogs and
Cattle; Lambs Lose.

South st. Paul, Mimi, April Is,
1889: Cattle and calf receipts at all
major markets showed a very de-
cided increase this week, according
to the Federal-State Market News
Service. Slaughter steers particularly
arrived more freely. This increase
in supplies was apparently the main
cause of the weeks full Csc decline
in steer values. Some bids on steers
favored SOC downturns for the week
Medium to good yearlings and steers
cleared at $500 to $3.50, with the best
light steers Monday at $8.25, but some
held above that price today. She
stock resisted the downturn with fair
success, demand being seasonally good
for thin cows, as well as all cattle
suitable for sausage production. Heif-
ers were mostly steady, instances 15c
to Csc lower for the week. Cows also
held on largely steady basis, but
here, too, fat beef cows ranged Csc
off in extremes. Vealers were under
pressure due to the step-up in ar
rivals, and lost SOC today. Bulls held
steady, but some weakness was APP
parent on the closing rounds Tuesday.
Stockers were steady, instances even
little stronger. Good dairy cows
for shipper purposes sold at $1,000
to $85. 100, or steady.
Hog receipts expanded sharply at
practically all points this week. The
local market was no exception as the
two-day supplies were practically
double the total for the correspond
ing time last week. Tuesdays prac-
teal top of $6.75 established a new
low since December 1884. Compared
with last Friday, practically all
classes figured 15c to Csc lower. Tues
days bulk good and choice 100 to
230 pound barrows and gifts sold
at $6.65 to $6.75, a few light lights
and pigs mixed earned $685.. Fin
ished hogs averaging 23O to 26O
pounds turned at $685. to $685., 26O
to 200 pounds $500 to $6.4O, and 200
to $50 pounds $3.50 to $6.10, extreme
heavies $5.75. Good sows went from
$3.50 to $5.65. Most good stays
earned $3.50 to $5.75. Bulk of pigs
turned at $500 to SIPS, few light
weights $3.50.
Liberal receipts of sheep and lambs
at other midwestern markets resulted
in losses of Csc to 35c or more on
slaughter classes at most points. A
load of good and choice 81 pound
wooded lambs made $10.15 here Mon
day, but small lots stopped at $3.50
today. Good and choice clipped lambs
cleared at $3.50 to $500. Only odd
head of medium to good wooded ewes

Cleanup Week Is
Set By Governor

The week beginning April 80 has
been designated as Conservation
week by Governor Harold E. Stassen
and May 5 has been pointed to as
Arbor and Bird day. The State Board
of Health urges at this time that every
one cooperate and see that all refuse

conditions.
The Department of Health points
to the fact that thorough spring clean
ing will lessen the breeding places for
flies later on when hot weather comes.

Winter Sports Capital.
Throughout the maritime prov

provide facilities for hockey, skating
and curling, fancy dress carnivals,
hockey games and curling competi-
tions are held in nearly every city
and town. Skiing is also becoming
popular and adds greatly to the
enjoyment of the winter season. The
ancient city of Quebec, with its old
French charm, is well and favorably
known for its winter sport attrac-
tions and has been dubbed the
winter sports capital" The beauti-
full Chateau Frontenac, with its
three-shoot toboggan slide, is the
center of this exceptionally we'll
organized sports area. Lac BEAUFORT
is the leading ski locale and excellent
bus services operate between this
point and Quebec City.
Montreal and the adjacent Lau-
rentian hills is the region par ex-
cellence for winter sports and boasts
Of a network of more than 1000
miles Of ski trails and runs, linking
one winter resort section with an
other over a radius of so miles. This
vast winter playground is the -en-
devious each week end for thou
sands of Montrealers and visitors
from the United States.
Ottawa, Canadas S beautiful capital
city, is adjacent to some of the
finest ski country in the world. The
sunny slopes of the Gatineau VAL
ley and surrounding hills offer mar
velous winter sport terrain.
The Highlands of Ontario, with
Toronto as the focal point, is an
other section which is fast becoming
popular winter sports center. Ski
ing has made tremendous strides
here, and the number of organized
ski clubs grows rapidly each year.
Fort William and Port Arthur, on
the shores of Lake Superior, is an
other winter sport center rapidly
coming to the fore. The Canadian
ski championships were held in
1919 on the slopes of Mount Mckay.

resounds in reverberating echoes
throughout the many undulating
valleys and hillsides of the various
winter sports areas in Canada.
Smart clubhouses and snug Alpine
hotels are buzzing with activity
and the many ski trails, slalom
runs, ski jumps and toboggan slides
are laid out and ready to accommo-
date the ever-increasing number of
winter sports devotees who now
make their yearly pilgrimage to
Canada.
The eager desire of both young
and old alike to participate in the
healthful and exhilarating joys of
the winter season may be satisfied
in Canada, for the aspects of the
winter sports holiday are varied.
Each province within the Domin-
ION offer skiing, skating, toboggan-
ing. hockey and curling, while other
sections of Canada offer forms of
winter recreation which are char
acteristically their own, such as
Ice boating, ki-joring, dog sleigh
racing and snoWshoeing.
Skiing, without a doubt. is now

teaching and development of Eu-

by the Canadian Amateur Ski As

SnoWshoelng, though somewhat sup

travel by skiing, is still the choice
OF many, and numerous snowshoe
clubs are to be found in Canada and
especially in the Province of Que
bee. For many, the sunlit outdoor
Ice rlnks and also the artificial in
door rlnks have more appeal than
the skiing terrain, as the ice indeed
Is the popular rival of the snow,
with its spectacles of hockey, figure
skating and championships, fancy
skating carnivals and curling bon
spiels, which provide a full source
OF winter activities for both young
and old.
The enthusiasm for winter sports
IN Canada is demonstrated by the
ever-lncreasing crowds and partici-
pants. Canada's winter attractions
are, without doubt, becoming more
and more popular year by year.
Outdoor life is but half the picture,
for when darkness falls, gaiety
within completes the daily round Of
fun. Whether in small hotels or
single inns, laughter and music fill
the air while dancers hold the floor.
Life indoors is organized and tastes
