r. T. Hart of Moose Lake, is chair
man of Education, assuring the
northern counties about the best line
up we could get, and very satisfactory
to us.
On Wednesday, the Appropriations
committee passed resolution, which
was read to the House, that accord
ing to the custom of many previous
sessions, no claims for damages by
wild fowl or wild animals would be
allowed, and Claude Allen, chair
man of the committee, said that the
purpose of this resolution was to
prevent the introduction of so many
bills for wild game damage, as they
would not. be allowed.
Although quite a number of bills
have been introduced, they are most
ly of local nature.
The new Governor is working hard
on the financial picture, which we
understand is in mess, with between
nine and fifteen millions deficiency,
or in other words, that much money
was spent more than was appropri-
ated for the period ending June 81,

Farmers Hear OF
Stock Outlook
Extension Specialists Talk
AT Meetings in County
During Past Week.

Approximately 80 people listened
to S. T. Warrington, extension spe-
cialist in Agricultural Economics, and
George Nesom, extension specialist
in Soils, at Sandstone on Thursday,
January IL, according to Max Nc
Millin, county agent. Mr.. Zavoral,
extension specialist on Sheep, who
was scheduled for the meeting was
unable to attend, and Mr.. Warning
ton took his place.
Mr.. Warrington discussed the dairy
outlook and according to informa-
ton which is available, the dairy out
look is not too encouraging. The
hog numbers in the United States
have been increasing rapidly and ac-
cording to a survey taken December
Is, there is 20 percent increase in
the spring pig crop indicated. The
sheep numbers have been decreasing
somewhat the past few years and it is
estimated that there will be a small
increase in numbers next spring, but
not nearly as large as in most other
classes of livestock. The one en-
couraging factor to all agricultural
products is the indicated increase in
consumers demand
Mr.. Nesom discussed soils prob
lens and good practices in securing
stands of clover and alfalfa. Mr..
Nesom indicated that most alfalfa
and clover seed was covered too
deeply, and where it is hard to get
good catch of seeding. Mr.. Nesom
recommended working the ground
until the last part of June or the
early half of July, and then use a
culti-packer to pack the ground and
then cover the seed with light drag.
The Sandstone Commercial club
furnished lunch at noon which was
very much enjoyed and appreciated
by the men present.
These men also talked at the Ker-
rick schoolhouse on Thursday night
to approximately As people.

Askov Public Schools

AS the current week ends not only
this six weeks period but also the
first semester of the school year, the
students are busy taking tests and
concluding projects that will termln-
ate the first half of this years work.
The tests that are being given are
merely the customary tests which
follow the completion of units of
work or the usual examinations
which are given every six weeks.
This procedure has been found to be
more successful in the school since
students are promoted only at the
end of the year. Consequently ex-
aminations are deferred until the end
of the year.
Students in the high school are

The superstition of "unlucky Fri
day the thirteenth" did not hold true
to the Askov basketball team. The
local boys romped over Willow River
81 to 10. Askov ran up very de-
cisive lead of % to at the half but
did not fare so well in the second
half when they outscored Willow
only IA to 10. The game permitted
the local coach to try out several
substitutes all of whom showed prom

overtime periods. After two two

of awarding the game to the first
team to make a field goal to finish
the game.
On Friday, January 20, the local
team will meet Sandstone on the
D. B. S. floor. Although Askov de-
feated this opponent easily when they
met before this season, this game is
always worth attending as the two
teams are natural and traditional
rivals. So be on hand to see this
game this Friday

If you are allergic to jokes, practical or not; or if you take your humor in canned variety, then you should have remained in bed today. No matter if it is Sat- urday, you'll be sorry you went ou, provided you are the sort of per- son depicted in the foregoing.
 Because this is All Fools Day, also known as April Fools Day, and the modern encyclopedia terms it.:
 "The day when it is considered right to make fools of all people, if one can, or at least as many as possible, by playing practical jokes on them."

get you action. That is, on April Fools Day, at any rate.
 Doubtless, there were hundreds of telephone calls made before noon today in Waterbury which were not meant to be anything but funny.
 There is the old gag about the electric light company calling to see if the lights are working. When the victim of the call re- turns to the telephone to remark that every light in the house is on and appears to work perfectly, then the April Fool-er is supposed to cackle: Well, blow them out"
 Some fun, eh, kid?
 Guess Who?
 Oh, there's no limit to the fun a really imaginative April F'ool-er can have today. If it's a girl, then this is her opportunity to call up all of the boys she wishes would call her, asking: Guess who this is?"
 When she finally is pinned down to confess that she is Hortense, if the conversation takes sud. den frost, there is always the re- course: April Fool"
 Many a person will be some- what relieved when night comes and April 1st passes to limbo to- night.
 Then, there are those who will just have to await another year to try out some of the jokes for which there wasn't time today.
