International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Tomorrow-July 28-it will be
twenty-five years since the imperial
Austro-Hungarian government de-
clared war on Serbia, thus starting
the world war and long train of
events following in its bloody wake.
That war was, as is well known, to
end all wars, and ended none
But there is another memorable
date to which to call attention this
week, for last Monday it was ten
years since the Briand-Kellogg treaty
against war became effective; what
the conclusion of the world war had
not succeeded in doing, this treaty set
out to do: 1t was designed to sub
stitute negotiations for arms. AS is
also well known-it didn't. The
world war was futile, and so has the
Briand-Kellogg treaty been to date.
Human nature doesn't change that
quickly, and munitions manufacturers
do their utmost to see that it doesn't.
So in the week in which the twenty
fifth anniversary of the outbreak of
the world war and the tenth ami
versary of the Briand-Kellogg treaty
against war are being commemorated,
we find world bristling with arms
ready for the next fray.
RumOrs.
There is, indeed, so much talk about
that coming war that it has become
disgraceful to talk about peace.
Whenever peace rumor is in the air,
governments frown-no, decidedly,
they don't want any "appeasement
policy"-they want to fight it out.

'POmatO' Plant Has
Tomatoes, Spuds

Gardeners, attention! A freak
plant bearing both tomatoes and
potatoes was turned up recently
at Granite Falls by Mrs. Bud
Brandt in her garden. About ID
inches tall, the plant bears equal
resemblance to a potato plant and
tomato vine On the vine it has
five tomatoes" about the diam
eter of nickel. In cross section
the tomatoes show divisions SIM
liar to a real tomato. On the roots
are half dozen nodules which
appear much like young potatoes.
The plant was found growing
among the potatoes in Mrs.
Brandt's garden.
Well bet the spud got some
tomato juice in its eye.

Baseball
Baseball!
Fans Will See 1t!

Friday, July %, is the day, Min
neapolis is the place and Askov-
ties are the fans. On-to-Nicollet
day is coming and the last call
is hereby issued, says the COM
mittee, to those who intend to
avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of trekking to the "big
city" to see the Minneapolis Mil
lers play the Louisville Colonies.
Buses and cars will be leaving
Askov Friday afternoon at varied
intervals beginning at l o'clock.
Sign as soon as possible, urges
the committee, but sign, even if
you have to wait until the load
starts. OF course in the latter
case each one will have to take
his own chance of getting ride.
A surprise awaits you as it did
the committee; there will be
double header. That is the tele-
phone message which came few
days ago, and nary one, we have
heard talk, is mad. "For," say
they, 1--WE can see two games for
the price of one and still get home
as early as we would if there were
only one game" The secret of
that is that the first game will
be a twilight affair of seven in
nings and will start at 6 o'clock,
with the second one following at
8:15.
The radio broadcast by the
committee and a staff of enter
tainers will be at 4:45 p. m. over
WCCO. That will consist of selec-
tons by the Little German band,
violin solo by Edmund Rix, &C
companied by Miss Ruth Soren-
sen; talk by Svend Petersen,
president of the Askov CONNER
cial club, and a selection, Hear
Dem Bells" by the Askov male
quartet, consisting of Carl Dixen,
Otto G.. Hoiberg, Edmund Rix
and A. w. Conway.
The committee urges that each
make his or her plans to make
the trip and enjoy half-holiday.
Most of the business places in
Askov will be closed at noon.
Exceedingly low fare!
