international News Review

only two actual facts seem to emerge
One is that the Germans are closing
in on the capital of Poland, war
SCARED Warsaw, and that they are
likely, all things considered, to take
that city some time soon; they have
subjected it to a most tremendous
bombardment, and their troops have
been reported entering some of its
suburbs, but soon thereafter word
came that they had been repulsed.
Nobody outside the principal actors
of the drama know what the exact
situation is, but there is fairly
general tendency to believe that War
saw is doomed. That will not neces-
sarily mean that the rest of Poland
will be lost, but many accounts agree
in the statement that the Polish
troops are Systematically retiring be-
fore the German onslaught. Warsaw
claims that the retreat is made for
strategic reasons-a statement which
cannot yet be checked
West Front.
Another fact among the few which
it is possible to CLEAN from the mass
of rumors, appears to be that fight
ing is in progress on the western
front-that is, the border between
Germany and France; on the Ger
man side is the impregnable Sieg-
fried line of underground fortifica-
tons; on the French the equally i'm
pregnable Maginot line. How i'm
pregnable they actually will prove
to be remains to be seen.
But many reports are to the effect
that the French have succeeded in
penetrating parts of the Siegfried line
and are now moving into the Ger
man Saar Basin; others insist that the
German line is intact; still others adj
init that the line has been broken,
and that the Germans are making
counter attacks.

Cafe in Village.

The Dixie Cafe changed hands on
Tuesday of this week, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Jens K Hyldahl purchased the
business from Carl DiXen, who has
operated it for more than year.
MIR. and Mrs. Hyldahl took possession
Immediately.
The new owners are well known
in the ASkov community. both hav-
ing spent the greater part of their
lives here. Mr.. Hyldahl has been
the tank agent for the Standard Oil
Co. for the past Is years, but several
months ago his territory here at
Askov was consolidated with that of
Willow River and a short time ago
the family was required to move to
Willow River. However, their de-
sire to get back to ASkov was strong
and thus the deal was made.
Many changes will be made in the
establishment and they expect to
stock the supply cases with new, fresh
stock so that the varied wishes of the
public can be satisfied. They urge
all their friends and acquaintance to
call on them.
Living apartments will be installed
i'm the rear and the family expects
to reside there.
Mr.. Dixen, who is also local young
man, has not made any plans for the
future, but it is expected that he will
soon enter a different field of &C
tivity.

Fine Guernsey Bull
King for A Day.

''While the cat is away the mice
will play" so apparently thought
Monarch of Guernseydale Farm,
east of Sturgeon Lake, as he broke
his chain in the absence of his
master, Tracy Street, and the hired
man one day this week.
After wandering about the place
eating the choicest morsels of
grass, the gentleman decided he
would call at the house, but Mrs.
Street told the dog that the animal
wasn't welcome there and old Gaze
sar attempted to take him to the
barn, but to no avail.
Noticing the weeks washing on
the line and thinking possibly he
could do something about that,
Monarch ambled in and out among
the clothes until he pulled several
pieces from the line and soiled
others. The separator was next
no use in that being left in place,
so with one nice bunt over went
the machine, the disks to one side
and the pail to the other.
But no, that was too tame; it
was much more fun among the
clothes, but at about that time a
car drove into the yard bearing
four men. One of the occupants
approached the house, but soon
scrambled back into the car when
warned that there was gentle
man cow loose. The animal Just
couldn't pass up the visitors so
he walked over to the car and
circled around it apparently Won
dering which was the softest side
to bunt.
However, his slow thinking ca
pacity enabled one of the men to
grasp the ring in Monarch's nose.
He was led rather slowly and I'M
willingly to the barn to again be
placed in captivity.
The king had abdicated.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Some philosophers hold that the
history of mankind moves in circles,
and there is, perhaps, after all, some
truth in the assertion, for when one
considers that the Askov American
began its career when the world war
of 1914-1918 had just started, and
now celebrates its tWenty-ffth ami
versary two weeks after another great
European war began, one begins to
wonder; to wonder, also, about the
seeming eternalness of wars.
No matter what theories and spec
ulation may be worth-the hard,
brutal and realistic fact is that we
once more have an immense war to
worry about.
1t has already been reported in
these columns that the latest armed
conflict started when German troops
on September l invaded Poland; two
days later Great Britain and France,
by treaty bound to aid Poland, de-
clared war on Germany, and since
then life in those parts of Europe
has been one continuous series OF
battles and commandments.
Darkness of Secrecy.
One may as well confess right
away that very little is known about
what is going on. In the daily papers
and over the radio the world is told
a lot of things, most of them alleged
to be facts. But one should realize
that facts are very sparingly given
out now. There is wilfull coloring
of news; there is censorship; there
is outright propaganda; there is a
concerted move to conceal facts; there
are direct lies, and the acknowledgement
world is left to guess what it is all
about.
Through the maze and the myriads
of incomplete and misleading rumors

Diesel and Farming
Short Courses Will
Open On Jan. 3

Only short time remains until the
short courses in agriculture and diesel
engineering begin at Montana State
college and Montana rural residents
who plan to take one of the courses
should make application at once if
they have not already done so. Both
courses start Jan. and continue
through March IL and are open to any
Montana resident who is II years old
and can read and write.
Both courses are highly practical
and especially designed to be of value
to those who find it impossible to take
a regular four-year college course.
Those interested in the short course
in agriculture should make application
to j. o. Tretsven, principal of the
school of agriculture, Montana State
college, Bozeman. Applications for the
diesel course should be sent to H E.
Murdoch at the college. Further de-
tails about the two courses may be
obtained from county extension agents
in the state.
