Al and to Hinckley, at Hinckley, Tues
day evening of this week, 80 to 26.

short end of Is to Is count at half
time, suddenly broke loose in steady,
driving attack to make % points and
forge into the lead Al to 40 with so
seconds of game time remaining.
They could not hold the pace how
ever, and Chisago City dumped in
two final baskets to clinch the game.

again the home team won out towards
the end of the fray. The personal fouls
totaled % for the game but only

THE MIRROR
Askov Public Schools
BY Herds Jensen

The high school carnival held Feb
ruary IA proved success. A fairly
large crowd attended, bringing with
them the carnival spirit. A good
time was had by all, and we hope
to have more of these in years to
come.
School was closed all last week,
but was called on Thursday morning.
The greater number of the students
were unable to attend, so school was
dismissed early.
Askov played Moose Lake on our
floor on the 18th. Askov had the
misfortune of losing both games to
Moose Lake. The unlucky streak
carried over to the Hinckley game
Tuesday night, when Askov again
lost both games. The final score
ended 80 to 26. They also lost to
Chisago City last Friday.
Attendance has improved consider
ably the past week.

yesterday at the Danish cemetery in
that community where he had spent
the major part of his adult life, be-
ing among the early Danish settlers.
Mr.. Miller has visited in Askov a
great many times and was well known
to many here; two sons, Carl and
Niels B. Miller, and a daughter, Mrs.
Niels N. Hede, being residents of
this community.
1t is only short time ago that
several Askov relatives were in West
Denmark to help Mr.. Miller cele-
brate his Goth birthday anniversary.
On the day of his death Askov
relatives were enroute to the old
home for a visit but Mr. Miller died
shortly before they arrived.
AS far as can be learned at this
writing the following Askovites at
tended the funeral at West Denmark
yesterday: Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Mil
Ter, Mr.. and Mrs. Niels B. Miller and
Elsie, Mr. and Mrs. Niels Hede and
children, Rev. NJ Mikkelsen, Mr.. and
Mrs. Emery Nedegaard, Axel Birk-
holm, Carl c. Paulsen, Chris Hen
riksen, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Soren-
sen and MILFORD Olesen.

Devers put them on his police any,

down, morale up. When furnaces were

hooked up to provide heat.
General Devers practically cleaned
out the post Jail; while his troop
strength more than tripled he cut the
guard-house population from 200 to
sixty. Plans called for bars on certain
hospital windows. Devers said no

command the 100000 building
program was beginning at snails
pace amid mud and traffic snarls.
Devers created team out of the engi-
neer, contractor, constructing quar-
termaster and his own Office. The
team was unorthodox. unofficial and
unauthorized. But it got results.
Over $500 buildings were finished
at the rate of one every thirty-two
minutes working time. In less than
six months, construction was 98H%
complete; every building date had
been met; no strikes had been called
among the $1,000 workmen; and
$1,000 troops were housed ahead of
training schedule.
The Devers team constantly had to
face new problems; it had scores
of meetings, often two or three in a
single day and night. All we're in

in indecision or postponement. The
members of the team disagreed but in
every case when they lef. the room
they had decided to act.
He could count on ready support
from his teammates. For instance,
when word came that a National
Guard regiment would arrive ahead
of time, the contractors overnight
shifted 1000 workmen from jobs
ahead of schedule. AS result, the
National Guardsmen marched from
their troop trains to barracks COM
plete in every detail. Two weeks later
the authorization to build these bar
racks arrived. Again. when the team
found it would take eight months to
get steel for a million-gallon water
tank, one was built of concrete. The
Army had never heard of such, but
in seventy-five days it was up. re-
portedly the only large all-concrete
tank in the world.

announced what he proposed to do,
and had the roads in use three months
before authority to build came through.
Devers will almost invariably favor an
officer with novel plan over one with
a legalistic complex.
No yes-man himself, he brought in
as second in command an officer who
had battled and beaten him on a small
point in Panama. Early at Bragg,
Devers informed officers not to tell
him what couldn't be done but to give
him a plan of action. If it involved
breaking regulations. all he wanted
was to be tipped off so he'd be pre-
pared for fault finders.
With troops General Devers has a
similar fair for direct action. When
he arrived at Bragg the military police
were out in the dazzling sun with no

Back in those days, each class was

battle. Instead of waiting for his
class's turn. Cadet Devers assembled
three York friends, two horses and a
surrey and spent five days of his fur
Tough on the battlefield. No man ever
pumped the guides drier.
After fighting the World War in
Oklahoma, Devers had a post -armis-
tice tour of the Western Front -
one of the quickies given to officers
who didn't get across. A full decade
passed before he was finally noticed.
Put in charge of gunnery at the field
artillery school, he changed, simpli-
tIed and streamlined the entire sys-
tenn. incidentally. he ended the age
old morale-wrecking practice of blow
ing whistle whenever a mistake was
made After Devers's work was COM
pleted, targets which had required
thirty shots to locate were hit in six.
When some elderly artillery officers
questioned the new systems adapta-
bility to fast firing, Devers dug their
own records out of an old safe and
bettered them with his poorest team.
Later Devers had an unorthodox
tour at West Point. Second in COM
mand, he helped reorganize admins
tration, directed a 100000 con-
struction program and was graduate
manager of athletics. He held two
full-time jobs plus two minor ones.
In 1889, few weeks before outbreak
of war; Devers was hurried to Panama
as chief of staff of our most strategic
outpost. Though only second in COM
mand. nominally merely the voice of
the general, Devers took hold and
established unprecedented teamwork
both in the Army and between it and
the Navy. In a few months he was
given generals star. Roosevelt then
topped it off by naming Devers senior
Army member of the board to locate
the bases acquired in the destroyer
deal with Great Britain. Given three
hours to prepare for the take-off,
Devers was ready in ninety minutes.

and Army bomber he covered every
thing from Newfoundland to Trini-

his main job - getting the best base
locations. He wouldn't listen to talk
about laws. That was detail others
could straighten out - he wanted the
best bases. Despite fogs, he secured
Newfoundland from the air, and was

must have pleased the President -
judging from what happened few
months later when Roosevelt decided
to visit Fort Bragg. Some of Devers's
superior officers laid plans to be there,
but from the Presidential train came
a wire bluntly stating that the Presi-
dent wished to be shown around by
jake himself.

1t happened on October %, 1907,
when President Theodore Roosevelt
visited Nashville, Tennessee. There was
a tumultuous ovation for him, both in
the famous Maxwell House hotel and
throughout the city. And when President
Roosevelt so aptly described his first cup

especially noted by the man who had
created the famous blend, Mr.. Joel

imagination; he began to use it to de-

South's most celebrated hotel.
