Park Area Near Askov.

For several weeks there has been
more or less activity on tract OF
state-owned land two miles north
east of Askov along state highway
No. %.
1t is now learned that this piece
of land, $40 acres, has been proposed
as a recreational area. The pre-
liminary work was along the lines
of establishing definite boundary lines,
ascertaining possibilities, and in gen.
eral gathering information for con-
sideration. The preliminary survey
has shown that this tract is desirable
and has now been recommended as
project.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution sponsor such projects
through their penny fund after they
have approved such project. 1t
then goes under the supervision of
the State Forestry department and
they in turn develop the project with
the assistance of WPA labor and
funds.
Ray Clements, of the State Forestry
department., was in Askov yesterday
and explained that all the prelimi-
nary formalities were now complete
and the project accepted and sched-
uled for Improvement commencing
next spring or as soon as conditions
are desirable for the certain types
of improvement which are planned.
The D. A. R. will eventually place
a memorial marker at the entrance
to the area after which it will be
available for the free use of the
public.
This piece of land has been lying
wild and idle for number of years.
1t extends on both sides of No. %,
commencing about ~ miles north
of town and running north to the
two-mile section, Immediately south
of the Johan Sorensen farm.
This park area will surely be well
coined and highly appreciated by the
citizens of this community and vi
cinity, most of whom are nature low
ers; and those who sponsor the project
can rest assured that the area will
be extensively used and thoroughly
enjoyed.

friendship with Germany is said to
remain -undisturbed, but there are
indications that Russian foreign poll
cy is veering slightly toward Great
Britain and the United States. In
fact, there have been recent rumors
that the British government is max
ing new attempt to secure military
alliance with the Soviets, but they
are, so far, without confirmation.
On the other hand, there came
from Tokyo a report to the effect
that Germany, Italy and Japan
were about to try to include Rus
STA in their alliance, and that a
conference was to be held at
Moscow for that very purpose.
This report was categorically de-
MED by the SOviets, and while
such denial does not necessarily

deal more damage in Germany than
even German filters have done in
England.
Once in while there is lull, but
that only means that when the at
tacks are resumed, they increase in
violence. Exactly what the ultimate
purpose is, does not appear very
clearly-except that each belligerent
hopes by continuous slaughter to
weaken the resistance of his enemy.
To date, there are no definite proofs
that either of them has been effective
ly weakened, unless it be the fact
that Germany has, as all evidence
on hand indicates, postponed indefi-
nitely its landing of troops on Eng
lish soil.

Grocery Coop Meets.


Stockholders as well as those in
terested in becoming stockholders of
the new Cooperative Mercantile As
ISOLATION met in the D. B. S. hall
Monday evening for the purpose of
deciding on a location for the new
store.
The board of directors had secured
variety of propositions from Chris
Eriksen, Martin Johnson and the Red
& White. The Eriksen building was
not recommended by the board as
the financial obligation there was far
beyond the present ability of the
association.
Comparative figures were submit
ted on the M. Johnson building and
the Red & White store. The actual
difference in cost of operation of
either of these places would be very
little; the margin was in favor of the
Red & White. However, the big
problem seemed to be whether or not
lit was desirable for the new associa-
ton to buy real estate at this time
and thus start out with an overload
of financial burdens. There was
much discussion but considerable
doubt in the minds of many as to
which proposition to accept. The
final result was a vote of confidence
in the board, leaving it to them to
make the final decision.
At the close of the discussion one
of the "old timers" apparently hit
the nail right on the head when he
expressed the thought that it was
foolish for a new association to buy
either one of these places because
both of them were old dumps which
would not be satisfactory in the long
run for which reason he was in
favor of renting a place until such
time as the association had shown
its ability to do business and make
money enough to build a structure of
its own which would be modern in
all respects and credit to both the
association and the community.
The board of directors is meeting
tonight at which time it is quite pos
sible that it will make final decision.

Cleggs Catfish Again.

Some weeks ago Ted Clegg and
son Kenneth and Glenn Scott, all
from West Des Moines, Iowa, were
here to visit the formers brother,
j. E. Clegg, and of course to do some
real fishing. The three visitors and
the "old man" spent most of the time
roughing it at Nevers Dam on the St.
Croix river, east of Sunrise.
Earnie wasn't having as good luck
as the others, but on the last day at
the camp he was determined to show
his ability at getting big one. He
had a special hook and literally had
a whole load of most desirable bait
on it. Patiently he sat there most OF
the day and finally his big moment
came. The big one that he had been
waiting for was on the hook. Other
lines were ordered removed; every
one conferred their attention on do
ing everything possible to get the
monster into the boat. 1t was long
battle, big battle, an exciting bat
tie, and so the story goes on for 80
minutes. Then finally-the line
snapped and all they could see was
big waves in the river. But boy, oh
boy, it was big one.
Between the four of them they
landed over 800 pounds of channel
catfish, the biggest one weighing 81
pounds, and some little ones" of only

mean that Russia is getting clos
er to Great Britain and the United
States, it does seem to hint that
the SOviets are not too anxious
to rush into too frantically
intimate friendship with the other
dictator powers.
One reason for that may, of course,
be the fact that while Russia wants
to preserve friendship with Germany,
it is pretty cool toward Italy, and
quite averse to the policy of imperial
Japan.
