Attention Paid To
Rural ROadsides

Through the sponsorship of the
forestry division of the state depart
ment of conservation, WPA labor has
been made available for rural road
side Identification in Minnesota. The
division has obtained Federal ap-
prevail of blanket project covering
all the counties in the state which
may avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to get this work done at small
cost to themselves and at the same
time provide jobs for large num-
Der of unemployed men.
Besides sponsoring the blanket pro-
ject for the state, the forestry divis-
ion also is arranging to provide
through various agencies the neces-
sary trees and shrubs for these jobs.
Since this constitutes practically all
the outlay in addition to labor, the
counties are in position to get these
improvements for cash outlay of
a small fraction of the total cost,
it was pointed out.
A Ramsey county project, involv-
ing IL miles of rural highways, re-
Gently launched is an example of
how it works out in most instances,
it was said. The only thing that the
county is asked to contribute is the
use of truck few hours each day
for Transporting men and materials.
1t is expected that number of coun-
ties will take immediate steps to
make use of this offer.
In addition to Identification, these
improvements serve two outstanding
urposes-provide needed cover and
food for wildlife, and roadside snow
fences in the winter.

Slaughter Lambs
Advance Sharply
Top Lambs Climb Soc,
Reach 1925; Cattle Hold
Firm; Hog Prices Ease.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 49,
1910: The fat lamb trade came to
life with full SOC advance on the
first two days of the week, according
to the Federal-State Market News
Service. The upturn was made pos
sible by SOC to $1.00 advance on
dressed lambs at eastern wholesale
markets. Feeding lambs shared part
of the fat lamb advance and slaugh-
ter ewes ruled firm. Good and choice
slaughter lambs earned $500 to $925,
good and choice ewes $3.50 to $3.50,
native feeding lambs $3.50 to S8.25
and western feeders $3.50 to $S.75.
Smaller receipts, lighter average
weights, and the generally low yield
ing character of the slaughter cattle
supply this week counteracted per-
sistently weak undertone so that
prices held fairly firm during the first
two market days. Sluggish trading
persisted, however, although there
was some improvement in demand
for thin cattle suitable for grazing
later in the year. Good fed steers
sold at $500 to $500 according to
weight, few good yearlings going
under $3.50, while medium shortfed
lots ranged down to $500 frequently.
Most butcher heifers got $500 to
$3.50, good lots $500 to $3.50. Beef
cows bulked at $500 to $500, good
fed cows getting up to $3.50 occa-
sionally. Gamer and cutte~ cows
realized $500 to S4.75 mainly. Medi-
UNI and good bulls turned at $500 to
$3.50, best heavies at $6.75. Com
mon to medium stock steers sold
largely at $500 to $500, calf weight
yearlings up to $3.50. Vealers were
firm. Choice vealers sold freely at
$1,000, sparingly at $1,000. Medium
to good lots got $3.50 to $3.50.
Snowfall restricted arrivals of
trucked-in livestock on Monday, and
as a result prices of most species
turned upward. Hogs were not an
exception, but the gain on this class
was short-lived, as Tuesdays down.
turn of 10c to Csc placed current por-
cine values sc to 15c lower than last
Friday. Weighty hogs were under
most pressure and shippers, while
possessing moderate orders, were lit
tie interested except at terms scraping
on the bottom of current levels. Tues
days top stood at $5.25, being paid
by all interests on strictly good to
choice ITO to 200 pound averages.
The bulk of good to choice $50 to 24O
pound weights sold from $3.50 to
$5.25. Good packing sows turned at
$500 to largely $4.10.

Quick Work Saves
Lives And Home

Quick thinking recently on the part
of Joe Kepler of Rutledge, probably
saved his life and the lives of his
family together with their home when

children filling cigarette lighter.
Mr.. Kepler carried the can out of
doors, but in so doing received Sc
we're burns on his hands. His cloth
ing became ignited and he rolled on
the ground to extinguish the flames
He was taken to a doctor where his
burns were treated.

Death Comes To
|Askov Home And
Calls TheMother
Mrs. Niels Olesen, Stricken
With Cerebral Hemor-
rhage, Was 70 Years.

A well known and beloved woman,
Mrs. Niels Olesen, of the Askov COM
munity, passed away at her home
in the east part of the village early
Tuesday morning following cerebral
hemorrhage which occurred last
Thursday evening. Mrs. Olesen
passed away peacefully without en-
tirely regaining consciousness.
Marie Katrine Jensen was born at
Ydby, Denmark, Nov. /, 1861, where
she was also united in marriage to
Niels Olesen on Jan. 6, 1885. To-
gether they came to the United States
on July IA, 1888 where they settled
at Minden, Nebr. In 1891 they moved
to Ord, Nebr., where they resided
until 1912 when they came to the
Askov community to make their
home.
Two years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Olesen
moved into their new home in Askov
village from the farm which they
had operated for several years and
that is the place where Mrs. Olesen
passed away, surrounded by her fam
lily.
While Mrs Olesen had not been
very active in civic affairs because
of frail health almost entirely
throughout her lifetime, she took
great interest in the church and was
a very considerable and loving mother
to her family. She and Mr.. Olesen
were made very happy five years ago
when, with their family and many
friends, they observed their golden
wedding anniversary.
Mrs. Olesen leaves her husband,
seven children, several grandchildren
and four great-grandchildren to
mourn her. One son, James, passed
away several years ago. The chill
dren are Sena (Mrs. E. j. Fogt), Ollie,
William, Elmer, Fred, Clara tMrs. K.
L. Lund) and Arthur, James died
April 7, 1918.
Funeral services will be held from
the Askov Danish Lutheran church
short services from the home. Rev.
M. Mikkelsen will preach the fun
eral sermon and the five sons and a
grandson, Fred c., oldest son of
James, will act as pallbearers. Burial
will be made in the local cemetery.
The many friends and neighbors in
the community will join in extension
of sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family

All Club Leader Is
Again Engaged Here

Miss Violet Hecker, county All
Club leader, has been rehired for the
coming year for eight months instead
of the usual six months. These ar
rangements were completed when the
Pine County Farm Bureau voted to
pay the travelling expenses of Miss
Hecker. The State Extension Service
pays the All Club leaders salary.
Miss Hecker started work the first
of last week and has contacted most
of the clubs at the present time. Any
All Club members having special
problems should notify Miss Hecker
who will be glad to give them any
assistance that she can.

Rutledge Home Is
Destroyed. By Fire

The Scott-Rondeau home was to-
tally destroyed by fire at about a
m. Tuesday. The blaze was dis
covered in an upstairs room by Mr.
Scott and is thought to have been
caused by a chimney defect.
Very little of the household goods
or the family's clothing was saved
The flames had gained such a head
way by the time help arrived that
nothing could be done to save the
structure.

A Correction

In last weeks issue of the Askov

A certain man in Atwater really

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
The News Washington.
CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, May Is. - The
man who sets the stage for the Re-
publican national convention is
gray-haired Ralph Williams of Ore
gon, who has been hiring halls for
the party so long he can do it now
with his eyes shut-or could, if
people would stop inventing new
gadgets.
Williams is head of the G.. o. P.'s
committee on arrangements. He
went on that committee in 1912 and
has been heading it ever since 1928.
The Philadelphia convention in
June will be his baby, and he has
been working full time on it, with a
staff of helpers, ince April 10.
Gadgets are his big headache.
Back in the Taft administration,
when there a no radio and
newsreels didn't amount to much,
fixing up a convention was simple.
Now a good part of the job consists
of rigging things up for the mikes
and the cameras, plus arranging
the program so it will put the i'm
portant events On the air at the
right time.
This year, for the first time, Will
liams has to arrange for a tele-
vision stand; that makes him shud-
der about the future, but not so
very much because he's quitting
after this convention.
First step in the present job was
to name a convention architect and
figure out who was going to sit
where. Temporary stand must be
built on the stage for national COM
mitteemen, newspapermen (about
q thousand), distinguished guests
and so On.
Other stands must be spotted for
newsreel and still cameramen. Ra.
dio booths must be put where they

PASSES AND PRAYERS
AMONG THE WORRIES

Like everybody who is running
a show, Williams has to figure out
a list of passes, and worry about
who gets them.
Then he must line up a few chap
lains to open the sessions With
prayer, see that the city has extra

Gent taxi stands, get liability in
surance so the C. o. P. won't get

stairs, hire a band and tell it what
to play when, buy a couple OF
thousand gallons of distilled water,
check with the local entertainment
committee, find a restaurant con-
cessionaire, say no" to a + w
score ambitious hawkers of novel
ties, and see that the seating ar
engagements are okay with the fire
warden.
When all this has been done, and
a hundred minor details attended
to, they can go ahead with their
convention.

BY n AtEftlLL
RALEIGH, May ia big major
ity of counties are listed as having
instructed their delegates to the
state convention to support a third
term delegation to the democratic
national convention, but they didn't
all adopt the form of resolution pre-
pared by the North Carolina for
Roosevelt movement.
Perhaps the most unusual resolu-
ton which purported to be a third
term endorsement was passed by the
Duplin county meeting.
Ir its essentials it read like this:
1--WE recommend to the delegates
from this county that they follow the
leadership of our great Governor
Clyde r. Hoey in any resolution that
he has, or may hereafter, agree to
respecting the delegates to be elect
I'd by the state convention to the
national convention
Inasmuch as the governor has al
ready agreed" to the resolution pro
posing solid support from North Car
olina's delegation President
Roosevelt, this can be taken as en-
dorsement Of the third term. On the
other hand it is on its very face a
choice of the governor over any
hody and everybody.

Home Missions
We have here at home the mis-
sionary work among the Indians
and Negroes. This is our burden
or rather an added way which
Divine Providence tells us Of
strengthening our faith and our
love of our fellowman. Here in
our own country there are thous-
ands of priests, Sisters and cate
chists who are giving their all to
this great cause. This is a duty
which we cannot avoid, much less
place on the shoulders Of others.
The hierarchy of our country urge
us to greater generosity in this
worthy cause.
May God bless you, strengthen
your faith and redouble your
charity.
