to this move, LOO students were

Russia increases Fury Of
Attacks As Storms SubSidc
BOMBING PLANES AC-
TIVE ON BOTH SIDES;
THREE COUNTRY CON-
FERENCE IN SESSION


LONDON. Dec. S.-Russia
turned on increased fury in its
war with Finland today as the
binding sncwstorm subsidized in
the far-northern territory in
which the little nation is making
a desperate stand for freedom.
Bombing planes were busy on
both sides-the Firms with a
small raid on Soviet bomb de-
poSitories and the Russians with
heavy concentration of bombing
raids on various portions of the
country Immediately north of
Leningrad.
Helsinki fears momentary con-
tinuation of air raids as the
storm clouds clear away. APP
proximately 10000 Finn troops
are battling the hordes of Rus
STA. and so far have successfully
held the Finnish "Maginot" line
from the Reds.
In the meantime, peace hopes
of Finland have gone aglimmer-
ing as Russia turns thumbs down
on various efforts made by neu-
trail countries to consider such a
measure. Norway, Sweden and
Denmark. however, started i'm
portant tri-country discussions of
future policy today.
Foreign diplomats are consid-
ering Germsny's position in the
present Russian-Finnish conflict.
Ever since the NaZi-Soviet agree
ment reached last summer. il
appears that Hitler is getting
more and more the worst of the
deal, whatever it was. It is
thought possible now that Stain
will direct his attention towards
the Balkan countries when the
conquest of Finland is completed.

within the next month or two
at the outside.
Gone now is the fulfillment of
Hitler's dream, it is thought, as
expressed in his famous book.
''Mein Kampf'' In it he pro-
claimed that Germany's natural
expansion direction would be to
wards the Ukraine. That section
of Europe is becoming more and
more under Russian influence.
At any rate, in the opinion of
authoritative sources, there will
probably be a showdown in the
matter of Russian or German
domination in Europe before
many more weeks pass.

Sentence Passed On Fritz
Kuhn In New York Court
GIVEN 21a TO S YEARS
ON LARCENY AND
FORGERY COUNTS TO-
DAY; MAY APPEAL

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Fritz
Kuhn. 42-Year-old leader of the
German American Bund in this
country. was today sentenced TO
two and a half TO five years i'm
prisonmenf in a prison in this
state. having been found guilty
on third-degree forgery and
grand larceny charges by Judge
James c. Wallace in court.
Appeal may be taken to a
higher court by Kuhn-however,
il is not known whether the Bund
leader will make that move. Full
fillment of the sentence will auto
matically cancel Kuhn's citizen
snip IlBnlS.
The judge called attention to
the fact that the Bund leader
evidently had lied in much of his
testimony-so, too, it appeared,
did several other witnesses. This
matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Prosecutor Thomas
Dewey for action.
Judge Wallace stated that he
did not pass sentence on Kuhn
as "a rabbler rouser" or a motor
ious Bund character, but simply
on the ground of a common
thief --A--as---s.ass....sss- .s~ss--. .-- --~.
Much of the money stolen by
Kuhn, it was proven in testi-
mony, was spent on his girl
friend, Mrs. Florence Camp.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

I have a book called eff, or His
tory Rewritten" 1t describes what
possibly might have happened, if
certain events had turned out diff
ferently, all of them events, of course
that had tremendous consequences
What would have happened, for in
stance, if Booth had not killed Lin
coin? Or, should we say, if the assas-
sin had killed Roosevelt instead Of
Cermak in 1882?
Such speculations have but little
practical value, although they dc
cause us to consider the actual events
from different angle. But they car
profitably turn our thoughts to the
future and make us consider the i'm
portance of actions which at the mo-
ment seem to have little consequence
A word or a deed of ours may have
results of which we are utterly un-
conscious at the time. We are otter
unknowingly faced with a choice
which later on assumes far greater
significance than we credit it with
when the choice is made.
There are those who will say that
we have no choice, that everything
is planned in advance by the powers
that govern our lives. And we shall
have to admit that there are power:
for good and evil that are constantly
planning to influence us to do theil
bidding, but in order to maintain
our belief in freedom and response
bility for the human soul, we mus
believe that the decision which de-
termines the course of coming event.
rests with the individuals who are
placed in the crucial position. The
other belief we must denounce a:
fataliSm.
Most often we must make our de.
cisions under pressure which ex.
cludes careful consideration. A mo.
torist relies on his refleXes in ar
emergency; he has no time for de-
liberation. If he has trained himself
carefully, he will perhaps do the righ
thing. If he has not trained himself
carefully, he is almost sure to do the
wrong thing, although certain per-
centage of luck always plays part
In the same way we can train our
selves for the decisive moments, wher
a choice has to be made under pres.
sure, by serving those forces which
will help us make the right decision.
or by abandoning ourselves to the
forces which will throw us in The
wrong direction. Childhood training
and self-discipline influence us fal
more than we often imagine ane
should be taken very seriously. If
perhaps, history doesn't hinge or

It is not too late to plant gladiolus
(or gladoli) as they bloom rs to 80
days after planting and, if planted
now, they will pep up your garden
in late August and September, when
color is getting scarce.
Do not plant in stiff rows but in
groups between low-growing plants,
perhaps six to 10 in a group. The
effect is beautiful.
To insure a succession of bloom,
do not plant your groups all at one
time. Have several paintings about
a week apart up to the first of July.
Those put in late should not be
planted more than three inches deep.
Drive in a few stakes about ID
inches high around each group and
interlace with dark-colored cord.
This will prevent the gladiolus from
blowing when heavy with blossoms.
They come in many colors. Some
gardeners plant one color in one
group.
For extra fine flowers, after the
plants are four inches high, keep the
soil well loosened and apply little
fertilizer about six inches away from
the plants every two weeks.
After the stocks have dried up in
the autumn, dig up the corms and
you will find one or two new corms
have been formed on top of the old
CORN which is now useless.
Drv them ont for a fe1u hoI,rc in q
warm place, and store away in a cool
place, which is not too dry, in paper
bags into which you have dropped a
few moth balls or one ounce of
napthalene flakes to 100 corms.
The napthalene kills thrips, small
insects that in recent years have been
gladiolus great enemy.
In 60 days place them in fresh
bags without the napthalene.
When you dig up the old corms,
you will also find many little bulb
lets or corms under the old CORN.
Place these also in the paper bags
and plant in the spring. They won't
bloom the first year but will the Sec
ond year.
If your corms are valuable, you
can soak them for a few minutes in
mercurous chloride solution, four
ounces to one gallon of water, and
when growing, spray of bordeaux
mixture will help prevent leaf fun
gus trouble.
However in Minnesota, we seem

to the main stems when such are to
be kept from year to year. Encour-
age the new shoots that spring from
the bases of the bushes to develop
on the outside (that is, in front) of
the others. Do not let them push
their way up through the mass of
stems and branches or behind the
trellis. This will aid pruning them
out when their times come.
After Tea and Hybrid Tea roses
have produced their June display of
blossoms cut all the present seasons
growths back to two joint 'eyes,"
give dressings of complete fertilizer
spray with Black Leaf 40 to destroy
aphis and with any good fungicide
to control leaf diseases, and whenever
the ground becomes dry soak it deep
ly with water. The first watering
Tin early JULY may be of liquid
manure to stimulate growth. Plants
so handled should bloom well until
late autumn.
