No Spearing OF
Pike Or Pickerel

The Department of Conservation
this week continued its order pro-
hibiting the spearing of great northern
pike and pickerel in move to pre-
serve the ish-life balance in Mime
sofa waters.
Acting on the recommendation OF
fisheries technicians, Commissioner
w. L. Strunk extended the ban
originally decreed last April for an
indefinite period. 1t will have the
effect of prohibiting all winter ice
spearing of this species.
The order pointed to investigations
which disclosed an alarming decrease
in the number of large pickerel in
Minnesota lakes.
Fish technicians were quick to ap-
prove the order. DR.. T. Surber
veteran Minnesota fisheries authority
said spearing of large pickerel-which
are only infrequently taken on hook
and line-in numbers tends to unbal-
ance lake.

Wife Lost In Snow
In Own Farm Yard

Memories of the hardships of the
early prairie settlers were recalled
when near-tragedy struck at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Slime of near
Aitkin, on the first night of the No
vember blizzard With the storm
increasing in velocity, Mr.. and Mrs
Slime went out to rescue some pigs
which were without shelter in an open
pen.
Finding that the wind took their
breath away, they turned back, but
the wife, becoming separated from
her husband, took a wrong turning
and lost her bearings being unable
to see the lights of the house. Not
finding his wife in the house, her
husband set out in search of her and
after quite while stumbled upon
her where she had become exhausted
and fallen in a snowdrift and was
unable to rise again.

AskOv Farmers Talk
OF REA Possibilities

A representative group of farmers
in the Askov community met at the
town hall Friday evening to dis
cuss the possibilities of securing rural
identification lines in their terri
tory.
Louis Brabec of the North Pine
Electric Cooperative, Inc, with head
quarters at Finlayson, was present
at the meeting to explain details of
the setup, the procedure to be fol-
lowed, the estimated costs of wiring
a farm, and other pertinent matters.
The sentiment of the meeting ap-
peared to be strongly in favor of Sc
curing an extension of the North
Pine line to serve the rural area to
the east and south of Askov where
electric service is not now available
Volunteers were called for to con-
tact the potential consumers in their
territories in an effort to sign up as
many as possible and to get all neces-
sary information in order that the
plans might proceed. If all arrange
ments can be completed and there are
enough signers for the project the
North Pine lines will be extended to
the new territory.

Drivers Warned To
Avert Snow Flows

Motorists, especially those on the
highways at night or under condi-
tons of drifting snow and fog, were
given their annual warning this week
to watch out for snow blowing and
sanding equipment working on the
roads.
The sudden onslaught of winter
driving conditions, with snow banks
piled high and driving surfaces glazed
with ice in many localities, has re-
quired that more than 500 motorized
units of the State Highway depart
ment's snow-fighting fleet be out on
the highways almost day and night
Sanding operations on curves and
hills follow actual snow removal eff
forts.

Will Use Part OF
Southern Cotton
SURPRISES Here
Material to be Shipped Di-
rectly to Pine County for
Mattress Use.

At a meeting called some time ago
by County Agent Max McMillin pre-
liminary steps were worked out for
sponsoring new program in Pine
county whereby bales of ch o C e
southern cotton will be shipped di-
rectly here to be turned into mat
tresses for the use of local families.
1t is one of the latest measures being
backed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to assist in re-
price-depressing SURPRISES
from the American market.
Many Applications.
Early applications for material in
dictate that Pine county will have
a strong participation in this pro-
gram. Application blanks for mat
tress material may be had at the
county extension office or from MEM
bers of the county mattress committee
of which the following people are
members:
Chris. Frederiksen of Askov, men,
Der of the Agricultural Conservation
committee; Mervyn Anderson and
Irene Cast, Farm Security supervis-
ors; Virginia Karlson, county nurse;
Mrs. John Whyte of Hinckley, rep
resentative of the women's groups;
Oscar Eklund of Bruno, member of
the county board; Mrs. Fred Walker
of Sandstone, member of the Well
fare Board; A. E. Gustafson of Pine
City, superintendent of schools; and
Max McMillin, county agent.
Would Avoid Delay.
These applications should be signed
as soon as possible and sent to the
extension office from where they will
be forwarded to the county Agricul-
tural Conservation office to be
checked for eligibility. County Agent
Max McMillin urges those interested
to sign applications at once so there
will be no needless delay in placing
the order for cotton and ticking
needed to carry out the program in
this county.
Participation will be restricted to
families who live in rural commune
ties (open country or in towns of
less than $500 population) and whose
total net income in the preceding year
has not exceeded $500, plus $50 for
each member of the family in excess
of four persons. Cotton and tick
ing will be provided without cost,
but each participating family must
agree to build the mattress to be re-
ceived and also meet small local ex-
penses such as needles and thread,
this expense not to exceed ST per mat
tress.
Trained instructors will be pro-
vided at the training centers where
the mattresses are to be made.

Steer Market Is
Steady To Weak
ShOrt-feds Under Pressure,
but New Top for Three
Years at $l3.65 Paid.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, November
26, 1910: Although new three year
top was paid in the South st. Paul
cattle alleys when choice to prime
1877 pound steers brought $13.65 on
Monday, the general market for short
feds was under pressure this week,
according to the Federal-State Market
News Service. Heifers also dragged,
but cows recovered a considerable
portion of declines effected last week.
Gamer and cutter cows are now a
big Csc above last weeks low and
common and medium beef cows edged
up little in sympathy. Bulls and
vealers were generally steady. Good
and choice vealers bulked at $3.50
to SO, with strictly choice kinds at
$3.50. Recent advances in butterfat
prices and the contrasting sharp de-
clines in vealers have been reflected
in the drop in quality of vealer Of
ferings here. Demand for stockers
and feeders held about steady and
some improvement was noted in the
trade on stock calves Choice stock
steer calves reached $1,000 on the
Monday session. Choice Montana
yearlings reached 1925 and bulk
medium to good stockers and feed
ers turned at $3.50 to $3.50.
Hog Receipts Heavy.
Continued heavy receipts of hogs
at the local market had depressing
effect early in the week, with the
opening session generally 10c lower
than last weeks close. On Tuesday
additional declines were enforced
early in the session but later trade
picked up strength to clear most bar
rows and gifts steady to spots SC high
er compared with Monday while sows
sold SC to 10c off. In general barrows
and gifts closed Tuesday SC to 1Oc
lower than last Friday, while sows
were mostly Zoe off. The closing
extreme top was $5.75, while bulk
good and choice 1870 to $50 pound
butchers sold from $3.50 to $50,
with 160 to 100 pound weights making
$5.25 to $3.50, and 40 to 160 pound
offerings getting $4.75 to $40. Good
sows of all weights sold at $5.35 to
$40.
Featured by demand which indi-
Gated full support to poultry pro-
ducers, the dressed lamb trade sagged,
and some carcasses, especially heavy
weights, were as much as 81 lower
Live markets, despite this fact, have
strengthened, receipts being less than
comparative days week ago and
gains encountered locally largely 15c
up on all slaughter classes. Choice
fat and fed lambs sold mainly from
1925 to $685., choice yearlings made
$8.15, and comparable grade 1873
pound killing ewes registered price
of $4.25.

international News Review

obstacles was eliminated when dip
lomatic representatives of Slovakia
signed with Germany and Italy an
agreement which, practically speak
ing, makes the smaller country an
ally of the Axis powers; in effect, it
means that German soldiers will have
the right to pass through Slovakian
territory.
The day before, Rumania had had to
sign a similar agreement, and two
days earlier Hungary yielded to Ger
man and Italian pressure. In other
words-within period of four days
Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia had
signed protocols that actually make
them partners of Germany, Italy and
Japan.
Tough Problems.
Yugo-Slavia, needed in this con-
stellation, also, is trying her best to-
remain neutral, but bit of persua-
sion from Berlin and Rome may do
the work; most of the small nations
have found it futile to try to resist
the overwhelming force of the big
powers, so a hint sent to Belgrade
may do the trick. 1t may be that
Yugo-Slavia is not needed right now.
1t will be, after while. And then
it will have no choice.
But Bulgaria presents problem.
Not so many days ago King Boris
went to Germany to have talk with
Hitler, and it was understood that
he had yielded.
Now, however, it is learned
that the king made no commit
ments, preferring to say that his
policy would be determined by
the attitude of Russia. And the
Moscow government is under
stood to have warned Bulgaria
against attaching h herself too
closely to Germany n d Italy.
Early this week announcement
was made that Bulgaria will not

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

If you look at your map of Europe
you will notice that between what
once upon a time was Poland-now
part of Germany-and Hungary lies
territory named Slovakia, the one
remnant of Czecho-Slovakia; it has
modified form of self-government
acting in all important matters un-
der orders from Berlin. Immediate
ly south of Slovakia you see Hungary,
and to the south and east of that
country your eye Immediately detects
Rumania; west of Rumania is Yugo-
Slavia, and south of Rumania lies
the almost square-formed Bulgaria,
bordering to the south on both Greece
and Turkey.
This area is the scene of the Euro
pean war drama of the last few days.
Italy is carrying on war against
Greece, this being merely part of
Germany's and Italy's war against
Great Britain, and-Italy hasn't been
doing so very well; nothing to write
home about, anyhow!
Coalition.
Since the ultimate objective of what
goes on in southeastern Europe is
the control of the Dardanelles, the
Suez Canal and the northeastern part
of Africa-all of it in order to hurt
Great Britain fatally-it is of the ut
most importance to Berlin and Rome
that Italy wins its war against Greece
Since it, at this stage, is obvi-
GUS that Italy cannot conquer
Greece, Mussolini's ally, Hitler,
must rush to his aid, and must
find ways of sending troops to
Greece.
A second look at the map will make
it clear to you that between Germany
and Greece there are plenty of OBJ
structions, so the task of Hitler's
diplomats is to remove them.

.Deadline Nears
For Registering
OF Aliens In U.S..
December 20 Final Day;
Nearly 800, 900 Non.Citi.
zens Still Unlisted.

The immigration and Naturalization
service of the United States Depart
ment of Justice again calls attention
to the law requiring that all aliens ir
this country be registered and finger
printed by December 26, the final
registration day. With less than q
month to go the government is faced
with the task of registering the last
100000 or so non-citizens who are still
ignorant of the law, negligent, or re-
luctant or unwilling to comply with
the law.
Nearly 5000, 900 Registered.
To date nearly 100000 aliens have
already registered and it will be the
last few hundred thousand who will
be the most difficult to reach. The
law requires that all aliens who were
in this country as of August 81 this
year, must be registered as required
or face 81 900 fine, six months in Jail
or both.
Among the rules and suggestions
made by the registration division are
the following: Alien children under
ID must be registered by their par
ents or guardians, but are not finger
printed.
Aliens having registered have still
not fully complied with the law un-
less they notify the immigration and
Naturalization Service of the Depart
ment of Justice in Washington of any
change in permanent residence ad-
dress within five days of such change
on form available at any post office
PoStmasters should be notified i'm
mediately in the case of any bed
ridden alien so that he may take the
necessary steps to register him at
his place of confinement.
Clear Up Confusion.
Confusion between registration for
selective service and alien registra-
ton should be cleared up. All male
aliens 81 to SO were required to
register for the draft, but this did not
in any way relieve them of the neces-
sity of registering as an alien.
Service by an alien in the World
war did not of itself win him citizen
ship, and unless citizenship was
achieved he must still register as an
alien.
There are no fees of any kind con-
nected with registration. Aliens should
beware of racketeers who promise
to elk things.
The Post Office department and
the Department of Justice are ready
to answer any individual questions
about registration. The alien may
feel free to call on them for any
assistance they can render.
