Among the outstanding events of the
last few days is the visit of Viachis-
Law Molotov, Russian prime and for
eign minister, at Berlin where he con-
ferred with Hitler, German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
and was expected to have talk with
Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo CT
ano, also. At the moment of writing
the conference has just opened, and il
may be few days until anything is
heard about its results.
On August "a, 1899, Germany
and Russia, shocking a world as
Stunning them to be mortal enc
mics, concluded a treaty of COM
merce and friendship. Now that
the newest War-that between
Greece and Italy-is approach
ing a critical stage, there is a
possibilities yet only a pos
sibility!-that the FIR i e nd hip
treaty between nazis and COM
munists may develop into an ac-
tual military alliance, for Rus
STA is deeply concerned about
Balkan affairs, and so are Ger
many and Italy.

Storm Puts Halt
To Cattle Trade
Only Few Head Livestock
Get Through the Drifted
Roads, Lambs Down.

South st. Paul, Mimi, November
IL, 1910: Tuesdays cattle trade was
virtually suspended. The worst storm
in history for this time of the year
paralyzed most transportation facili-
ties and only a few head of live
stock were able to get through the
drifted roads. Even on Monday con-
ditions were not much better when
driving rain made cattle trading
a difficult task. The weather did
step in and put a halt to the declin-
ing tendencies that were in force
last week. Prices on most killing
classes were unevenly steady to 25c
higher than the close of last week.
There was not much trade Tuesday
but included was a sale of Is good
mediumweight steers at $12. Com
mon and medium heifers were quoted
at Sc to $3.50; common and medium
cows $3.50 to $6.25; good cows $3.50
to $7.25 and Gamers and cutters 81
to $5.25. Good and choice vealers
bulked Monday at So to $3.50 with
strictly choice $40. Stocker and feed
er steers held steady, good western
yearlings reaching SO. Stock calves
lost fully soc because of the weather.
Hogs Open Steady.
Hog trading opened the week on a
basis steady to SC higher than last
weeks close, with the advance ap-
piled to good and choice barrows
and gifts scaling from 200 to 800
pounds which sold mainly at $500
Other weights butchers and sows re-
manned steady, barrows and gifts
above $50 pounds selling downward
to $5.75, while 1870 to 200 pound Of
ferings cleared at $5.75 to $500. Good
and choice 160 to 1870 pound kinds
sold at $3.50 to $3.50, with 40 to
160 pound light lights getting SIS to
$3.50. Good sows of all weights
cleared at $3.50 straight. Feeder pigs
were slow and continued to sell in
a range of $4.25 to $475, mostly $4.25
to $3.50. Due to strong conditions,
Tuesdays run was too small to make
market and the few available sold
steady with Monday.
Slaughter lamb prices followed an
uneven trend the first two days of
the week but, all in all, they averaged
about like last Friday. However, the
price spread was narrowed down to
largely $9.15 Tuesday on good to
choice native and Dakota lambs as
compared with numerous lots at SO
the close of last week and this indi-
Gates some strength on just good
kinds. At the same time the top
price was 10c lower at 1925 on few
loads of killer lambs to shippers
Slaughter eve values strengthened
slightly with good to choice handy
weights making $3.75 to $4.1O. Other
classes held generally steady with
the close of last week.

then served and dancing concluded
the evening.
Soren Jensen of Norre WISHING, and
Else Laursen of Skovby, were united
in marriage in Aalborg, Denmark on
November 8, 1890. Mr.. Jensen, a
weaver by trade, worked for a time
in Aarhus, but decided he could do
better in America, coming here in
1902. His wife and children followed
a year later and the family settled
down at Brush, Colorado, later NOV
ing to Nebraska, residing at Omaha
and Fremont.
Return for Denmark Visit.
However, they missed their native
land so made the long trip back &C
cross the Atlantic in 1907 for a visit
there. Returning to this country they
lived again in Nebraska for time
and then decided to try their fortunes
in the new Danish colony at Askov
coming here in January, 1917. They
took up farming on a tract of un-
cleared land five miles northeast OF
the village. They worked with the
brush and the stones to clear farm

located in a neat, little home on the
north end of Main street.

International News Review

In this particular connection, care
full observers did not fail to make
note of the fact that few days ago
when the Soviet embassy in Berlin
celebrated the twenty-third ami
versary Of the founding of modern
Russia, Germany, Italy, Japan and
even China had sent representatives
to the festive gathering. 1t may be
that even then the plans for this
weeks Russo-German-Italian confer
ence had advanced beyond the point
of mere discussion; it may be, indeed,
that the Hitler talks this
week are simply the official affir-
nation of something that has already
been unofficially accomplished.
Balkan War.
Early this week the Italian war
of aggression against Greece was two
weeks old, and there is not much to
report by way of rejecting glory on
the Italian arms.
Against superior force the
Greeks have defended themselves
with a heroism of the kind that is
perpetuated in history, legend
and song; they have not only held
their lines, but they have actual
~ surrounded and destroyed di-
vision after division of the enc
my troops, and have. carried the
war into enemy territory.
1t is possible that some British
help has reached Greece, but, even
at best, it can't be very much, so,
practically speaking, the Greeks are
fighting for life-alone.
It is not only war that shakes the

Early Blizzard
Raises Havoc In
Widespread Area
Many Localities MaroOned
as Service Lines Fail and
Roads are Blocked.

Riding the crest of a 60-mile wind
winter swept into the Northwest Mon
day in one of the worst November
storms in many years, leaving trail
of death and destruction through the
entire area. The cold wave and snow
extended from the Rocky Mountains
to the Atlantic seaboard and as far
south as the fruit belt states.
In Minnesota a light rain over the
weekend continued int to Monday
morning, gradually changing to sleet
which tore down power and tele-
phone lines, causing property dam
age estimated to run into thousands
of dollars. This was followed by
snow, which whipped into deep drifts
by the heavy wind, tied up traffic
on most of the highways in the state.
Earlier, with the swirling snow blind
ing the drivers, already bothered by
the treacherous ice on the roads, the
accident toll mounted rapidly.
Cars Pile Up In Mass Crash.
One of the worst mishaps occurred
near New Brighton on highway No.
8 Monday afternoon when nearly 80
cars were involved in a mass crash
as result of an auto-bus collision.
Three other cars, following the bus,
slid into the heap, and one after the
other, nearly two dozen more, tangled
in the mixup. No one was killed in
the accident but many were cut or
bruised.
State highway crews battled vail
artly to keep the main roads opened
through Monday afternoon but plows
were called in later to prevent &C
cidents when the visibility became
poor. Work was resumed the fol-
lowing day but the plows and crews
were hindered by the hundreds of
cars and trucks left stranded by the
motorists who sought the nearest
farm house, tavern or village as
refuge from the storm.
Twin Cities Hard Hit.
The Twin Cities area and southern
and western Minnesota appeared to
be the hardest hit in this state with
trains and buses running hours be-
hind schedule. Many were unable
to get through and were held at the
terminals. Street car service in the
Cities was practically at a standstill
the first part of the week. Shoppers,
workers and others marooned in the
downtown sections were obliged to
seek shelter Monday evening wher-
ever they could and the hotels were
damned. Many firms made arrange
ments for their employees to spend the
night in their business establish
ments.
Nearly 100 lives in the nation have
been reported lost as a result of the
storm, about half of them in Mime
sofa alone. Many of the victims
were hunters who were caught I'M
prepared by the sudden blizzard and
they were found either drowned or
frozen to death, while scores of others
are suffering from exposure. Mime

LETTERS DELAYED

Due to the blizzard Monday,
much of the news and other items

Community Joins With Mr..
and Mrs. SOre1 Jensen IL,
Celebrating Rare Event.

Friends and neighbors gathered
Friday of last week to honor Mr..
and Mrs. Soren Jensen of the Askov
village, the occasion being their
golden wedding anniversary. Con-
gratulations and greetings were ex-
tended during the day to the happy
couple and in the evening, under
the auspices of the Danish Brother
hood society, the Danish Sisterhood,
together wi tn old neighbors and
friends in the community, recep-
ton was held for them in the D. B. S.

with folks from far and near.
Present Fine Program.
Chris. Frederiksen, in behalf of
the committee, babe the large crowd
welcome and then turned the pro-
gram over to Louis Olsen, master of
ceremonies, who first called on the
audience for two songs, the one writ
ten by Mr.. and Mrs. Otto G.. Hoiberg,
telling of the life of the honored
guests and their family Rev. M. Mix
kelsen then gave short address,.
This was followed by solo by Miss
Ruth Hansen, accompanied by Miss
Dorothy Petersen at the piano.
Otto C. Hoiberg was called upon
fcr few remarks and in his talk
he dwelt on some of the humorous
incidents in Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen's
life. He also brought attention to
one of the numbers on the program,
this song being written by Mr.. Jen-
sens father so years ago in Denmark
for his sons wedding. The original
is still in the possession of Soren
Jensen.
Couple Receive Gifts.
The male chorus, with Miss Ruth
Hansen at the piano, sang two num-
bers, following which several others
in the audience gave brief talks. A
telegram of congratulations from John
Hansen, supreme president of the
Danish Brotherhood in America, was
read. The guests of honor were then
presented with gifts from the people
of the community, gold watch chain
to Mr.. Jensen, brooch to Mrs. Jen-
sen and purse of money. Both re-
spOnded with a few words of ap-
! probation for the presents and

Glasses Save Ship

Admiral Farragut,s flagship,
the Hartford, was saved from
being ranmed by a pair of glas-
ses. In the battle Of Mobile bay,
the rebel ironclad ram, Tennes-
see. was headed for the Hart
ford and was about to ram her
successfully when the Union
ship, Chickasaw, unanswered
aStern of the Tennessee to hit
her vulnerable rudder area.
However, the Tennessee gunners
were about to fire into the
weaker Chickasaw before the
latter could open fire. The COM
handing officer of the Chick
asaw removed his glasses and
threw them over to the Tennes-
see, hitting her gun pointer in
the face. Before the Tennessee
could open fire, the Chickasaw
had put two shots in her rud-
der, thereby saving the Hart
ford.

The Low Down On
HICKORY GROVE

This idea that there is any,
body in this country or else
where who is Indispensable,
don't check up so good-and it
Is mostly talk.
You take it under the Phar-
aohs, there i'm Egypt, when they
were putting up the pyramids,
it was about like it is here, now.
They grape-vined the idea
around that they could not get
along without old RameseS. And
some of the big dams we been
building on the Columbia and
all over the country, and the
wide and high buildings on our
rolling Potomac, they will be
hard to explain 5000 years
hence, like the pyramids are a
problem to-day.
But the Pharaohs of Egypt
and our own Big Folks here at
home, they had to be doing
something big - they figured -
and they did so.
And old Rameses, he kept his
gold chariot-and he kept on
being Pharaoh-and he kept on
the payroll. But in the end,
the pyramids got him-he is
buried hereunder.
Claiming to be indispensable
is taking in a lota territory. A
pinch-hitter for the great Casey
could have done no worse than
Casey, himself.
