Sticks to "Ship".

A number of Askovites, who are
unemployed, 60 to Sandstone every
Wednesday to register. Yesterday
Geo. c. H. Jensen, Chr. L. Nielsen
and ]. Marius Petersen made the trip
in the formers car. When starting
for home Chris and Marius tried to
convince George that he didn't have
enough gas to get back home. But
George was sure the old boat could
make it. When they got to the hill
by the river it was proven that two
know more than one. The car quit,
there was no more gas.
George went to town for fuel, Chris
and Marius were left to watch the
machine. The waiting period was
long so finally Chris thought that
Marius could watch the car alone and
he started for town on foot. Marius
was faithful and stuck to the ship I'M
til George came back but George
found him sound asleep; no damage
done, however. The car was still
all in one piece and they soon were
rolling along in fine shape.

Every Pine county farmer should
be familiar with the state and fed
eral seed laws so that he may get the
full benefit of their protection, says
County Agent Max McMillin.
Requirements of the state law are
specific and can be easily checked.
The county agent suggests pasting
these five points on the granary door,
or putting them where they can be
referred to easily:
l. Look for a label on the contain
err. Don't buy unlabeled seed.
2. The label should give per cent
of termination (be sure this is high).
3. 1t should give the per cent of
weed seeds in relation to the grain.
4. 1t should list by name primary
noxious weeds present such as field
bindweed (jenny), leafy spurge, this
ties, etc.

attributed to curtailed marketings,

American Youth Is Fit.

A second bulletin from the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company was
devoted to physical fitness of draftees.
1t stated that Americas youth today
is more fit to serve the country than
any previous generation, including
the youth of the World war. The
high rate of reflections of recent
volunteers for the army and navy is
not indicative of the physical status
of our young men. The standards
set up are higher than those in the
past. Nor are these volunteers al
ways representative of Americas
youth. 1t is noteworthy that a large
proportion of the reflections are for
impairments that are relatively minor
and often remediable and, in any
event, not bar to vigorous activity
in civilian life. Thus, in a recent
study of causes for rejection of volun-
teers in one area, in which one third
of the men were found unacceptable,
the reasons for the great majority of
the reflections were dental, eye, or foot
defects, or underweight.
Even in advance of detailed find
ings on medical examination of draft
ees today, it is safe to predict that
they will be found to be healthier,
better developed physically, and with
a lower incidence of serious impair
ments than the draftees of 1917-1918.
Modern Health Conditions Better.
The belief that Americas youth
will stand the forthcoming test well
is based upon the knowledge of what
the medical and public health and
the allied professions have done to
reduce the incidence of serious de-
fects which were the major causes of
rejection in 1917-1918. Young men
of the draft ages today grew up at a
time when organized efforts to i'm
prove child health were much better
developed than generation earlier.
More of them benefited from good
nutrition n d better environmental
conditions. A larger proportion of chill
dren were protected against smallpox
and diphtheria in this period. Conse-
quently, young men today have few
er serious impairments resulting from
disease in childhood or from poor care
or faulty nutrition.
While we may thus be assured that
draftees today will compare favorably
with those of World war days, we
must not overlook the fact that large
number will be shown to have de-
fects-many of tn EN- preventable;
many, fortunately, remediable. The
draft will prove a blessing in dis
guise to these young men if they take
advantage of the opportunity which
undoubtedly will be afforded them,
to correct their physical defects. 1t
is of vital Importance, therefore, that
in the medical examination of draft
ees, modern methods and equipment
be used. The great forward strides
made since the World war will re-
suit in permanent benefits out of the
present emergency.

Draft Is Helpful
Continued from Page -
Good Medical Care.

Another favorable health factor of
quite another type, continues the bull
letin, is the medical care which these
men will receive. Of direct benefit
to them and indirectly to the general
public will be extensive vaccination
against smallpox. For those men
who have not before been vaccinated,
and particularly those who o m e
from areas where it is not compulsory
or where there is effective agitation
against it, this procedure will edu-
cate many to its value, some of whom
may later be advocates of VAGINA
ton in their home communities. In
measure, vaccination against ty-
phoid fever will accomplish the same
purpose. 1t is notable that after the
World war the death rate from ty-
phoid in this country dropped very
sharply, and one of the factors in this
trend was the large scale anti-ty-
phoid incubation of men in army
service during the war.
The medical examination of draft
ees will disclose many with various
types of impairments which previous
ly had been undiagnosed or untreated.
The correction of defects will be of
distinct value to the men whether or
not they are accepted for the army.
Health Facilities.
While it is true that large concen-
trationS of men in close contact with
one another often produce health and
sanitation problems, it is also true
that results shown from the World
war are exceptionally favorable. To-
day, with medical science progress
ing, it is expected that results will
of the World war. AS a matter of
fact, one of the reasons for the pres
ent slow rate of induction of men is
primarily because health and sani-
tary facilities must, under the law,
be provided before men can actual
ly be indicted into service. Nothing
is omitted which will contribute to
the betterment of the general health
of the soldier in the army. 1t should
be most assuring to both draftees
and their families that the health
record of our army has been at its
best in recent years.
In general, the American people
can hope for substantial benefits in
terms of health as a by-product of
the training of this new army. Other
countries which have had peace-time
CONSUMPTION over a long period of
years have unquestionably profited in
terms of sturdier physique for the
majority of their male populations.
Peace-time CONSUMPTION is a distinct
departure from our traditions, but
our people heartily endorse it in the
present world crisis. It is good to
know that the preparations under
this emergency, aside from fulfilling
their immediate purpose, will con-
fer lasting benefits on the nation. It
is our great hope that these benefits
may not be nullified by the crashing
down upon us of those very evils
which have engulfed the old world
and which the draft is designed to
ward off from our country.

Bring High Price.

Much has frequently. been said
about the high prices received for
calves and heifers. This time the
old cow comes in for her share of
the glory Recently John L. Madsen
shipped a 6-year old Holstein cow
with Thorvald S. Jensen to Wood
Bros. at South st. Paul.
Believe it or not, but this cow
brought a gross of $91.28 from which
there was deducted a total of $5.65
for transportation, insurance, weigh
ing, etc., leaving net balance OF
$85.63 to Mr.. Madsen. Now, who
says Holsteins are no good?

Under auspices of the Askov school
an advertising campaign was started
yesterday. Medium sized posters
have been displayed in all the bust

poster is big question mark. Those

Is Well Equipped.

Many of the farms that are being
connected up for electric service I'M
der the REA plan are what might be
termed right up to snuff as far as
modern equipment is concerned. The
Pine Coop Oil Association has been
doing a land office business in the
selling of appliances, travelling from
farm to farm with panel truck in
which the various appliances were
carried along for demonstrating pur-
poses.
j. j. Krogh, northwest of town, was
connected up for service Tuesday and
he says it is a grand and glorious
feeling. The appliances in their
home include nearly everything that
can be used to advantage such as
washing machine, refrigerator, iron,
percolator, radio, ETC., ETC., but the
"ultra-classy" equipment at Mr..
Krogh's farm is small portable radio
in the barn.
Mr.. Krogh says that large part
of his time is spent in the barn so
that is the place for the extra radio
so he can listen to market reports,
news, ETC., while milking or doing
other work. It is new yet, of course,
Mr.. Krogh says, but little later he
expects the cows will get so used to
it that they would hold back the milk
if he didn't entertain them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Miller were
Minneapolis callers Tuesday.
Einar Hansen left for Racine, Wis,
Tuesday after visiting here a week
at the Hans Paulsen home.
Mrs. j. Albert Johnson and son
Robert of Austin, came yesterday for
a few days visit with relatives and
friends.
Viggo P. Miller member of the
school faculty at Anoka, spent the
weekend at the home of his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs N. B. Miller.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall Halgren of
Minneapolis, were weekend guests

Hans Mosbaek was in st. Paul last
Thursday to attend the annual League
Credit Union meeting as a dele
gate from the Askov unit. Mr.. Mos
back is president of the local unit.
Russell Jensen, who is doing prac-
tice work at the Central Coop
Wholesale in Superior, Wis, visited
over the weekend with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Jensen.
The Rural Identification Project
in northern Pine county is rapidly
nearing completion. Each day an ad-
ditional group of farms are being con-
nected up for the service. Saturday
the finishing crew were connecting
the service to the farms west of town
and are now working north of Askov.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry johnson and
Mrs. Peder Miltersen were in Du-
luth Saturday to bring home the
formers little son who has been in
st. Luke's hospital since he was born
just six weeks ago. The little fellow
weighed only four pounds when born
and was placed in the hospital i'm
mediately for special care. He is
getting along just fine and now weighs
six pounds five and one-half ounces.

File Income Tax Reports.

In the post office lobby there is a
poster explaining the new Federal in
come tax schedules. Formerly income
tax was based on net income, now
it is based OH gross income. Every
single person having a gross income
of $500 yearly and every married per-
son having gross income of $4,000
must file a report regardless of
whether or not there will be an in
come tax to pay.
Income tax reports must be filed
with the collector of internal revenue
at st. Paul, Mimi, on or before March
Is covering income during 1910. If
you are in doubt about it, then it is
better to file report and thus avoid
a penalty which will be applied on de-
linquent reports or on persons who
fail to file report.
Proper forms for filing your report
may be secured from the Collector of
Internal Revenue, Saint Paul, MINI.
The local post office also has a few
forms on hand.
