Everyone has noticed the fine
new paint job on the curbings of

Now perhaps the proper thing to
do would be to cut the quack grass
that grows up around some said
curbs so the orange paint may be
seen in all its glory

even stuck them under our nose

Credit Members
Report Fine Meet

Directors of the Pine City Produc-
ton Credit Association recently re-
turned from two-day conference in
St. Paul with word that it was one
of the best gatherings that production
credit directors and secretaries have
held in the six years since they were
started. Conferences of this kind
have been held each year for the
purpose of studying association prog
ress and comparing notes.
In the seven years since the as
ISOLATION opened for business it has
loaned its members nearly $1,240, 900.
While loans have been sought general
ly for current expenses, substan-
tial part has been for capital invest
ment, such as real estate, improve
ments, purchase of machinery and
breeding stock.
Association representatives who at
tended the two-day conference were
Clair Shuey, Pine City; Robert o.
Nelson, Braham; Magnus Hadselford,
Duluth; Albert Edblad, Cambridge;
Oscar ellison, Lindstrom; and H. E.

Cross Unit Is Active

The Sturgeon Lake Red Cross met
at the home of Mrs. Kenneth Gay
Friday evening with Mrs. B. Olson
and Miss B. Almquist as assisting
hostesses. Over 20 members were
present. At the business meeting
it was decided that they help sew
clothing for women and children in
England. A special meeting will be
held later at the Gay home when the
material for the garments arrives and
the cutting out and other work will be
done.
Another item up for discussion was
the matter of getting enough mem
bers to enroll for a First Aid school.
ALI are eligible to join this. 1t was
also decided to give a party on Mon
day, March II, st. Patrick's day, on
the order of the one given on the
Presidents birthday. All are in
vited to attend this. An ad giving
further details will be found else
where in this paper.

delicious lunch, served in comical
manner, concluded the meeting.

New Breeding Plan
Will Be Discussed

A meeting will be held at Askov
at the D. B. S. hall Friday, March 81,
at 100 in the afternoon at which time
artificial dissemination of cattle will
be discussed by S. A. Aldrich of the
Farm Security Administration. This
meeting is being called by Mervyn
Anderson, Farm Security supervisor
in Pine county, and Max McMillin,
county agent, as result of a meet
ing held few weeks ago with few
farmers to find out what interest
there might be- At this meeting
Chris. Frederiksen was appointed
chairman to select committee to
get further information on the posi-
bilities of this plan. This committee
will be announced at the meeting
Friday, March 81.
The time may come when very
few farmers will keep a bull on their
place, according to Max McMillin,
county agent. In some parts of the
country this is true now where they
have artificial dissemination associa-
tons set up. One such association is
located in Barron, Wis, which is one
of the outstanding dairy counties in
Wisconsin. Plans are being made
for such an association to be formed
in Scott county, Mimi, and there is a
plan in operation at Floodwood. Carl
ton county is also using this plan of
breeding around Barnum.

Heavy Hogs Up;
Cattle Hold Firm
Prices lOc to l5c Higher
for Week; Steers in Mar.
row Course.

South st. Paul, Mimi, March IL,
1941: Strength which was apparent
on Mondays hog trade found broader
expression on Tuesday, when light
to mediumweight barrows and gifts
and sows advanced generally 10 cents.
The strong trend on heavyweights
Monday coupled with subsequent adj
vances made Tuesdays market on
hogs above $50 pounds mostly 10
cents over last Fridays average, ac-
cording to the Federal-State Market
News Service. Meanwhile sows gained
10 to Is cents and light lights and
feeder pigs remained about steady.
Tuesdays top of $3.50 took the bulk
of the good and choice 1870 to 22O
pound hogs, while 220 to 240 pound
weights cashed from $7.40 to $3.50,
and 240 to 270 pound offerings moved
at $3.50 to $7.45. Similar grade 27O
to 800 pounds brought $40 to SIPS,
while 800 to $50 pound weights went
at $500 to $7.20. Most 140 to 100
pound light lights made 81 to $7.35,
with 160 to $50 pound averages at
$7.25 to $3.50. Good sows were
cleared at $3.50 to $6.65, mostly $3.50
to $6.65.
Cattle About Steady.
Strength in the slaughter cattle
trade early Monday was dissipated
before the close and with the Tues
days market moving on generally
steady basis, the trade showed no
quotable change as compared with
the close of last week. Firmness and
weakness alternated in the she stock
market also to find Tuesdays market
about steady. Bulls were steady to
weak and vealers ranged weak to
so cents lower. Stockers and feed
ers held steady, choice 618 pound
feeder steers selling at Sill. Medium
to good slaughter steers bulked at
SO to $10.25, and choice 1862 pound
steers brought $12.
Fed lamb buyers enforced unevenly
10 to rs cents lower ideas at the
weeks opening market, but the ensu-
ing session reversed such cost prices.
Current levels are about in line with
last Friday. Other slaughter classes
were scarce. Feeding lambs were
wanted at fully steady prices, while
the demand for shearing classes was
fairly broad. Slight improvement
was noted Tuesday at eastern dressed
lamb centers, good to choice 40 to SO
pound carcasses selling from $3.50
to $3.50. The local fed lamb top
rests at $10.75, paid Tuesday. Feed
ing lambs cashed in straight lots at
$40, while shearing lambs registered
new high of $1,000 on a load of
Sc pound averages.

Works OF Danish
Scholar Sought

Scandinavian families in Minnesota
who have old books, pamphlets or
documents relating to the life or
works of the famous Danish philoso-
pher, Soren Kierkegaard, have been
asked by the University of Minneso-
ta's philosophy department to COM
municate with it.
DR.. George P. Conger, professor OF
philosophy, is behind a movement
to create large collection of Kierke
gard material in the University Ii
brary, partly for its own interest
and partly as memorial to the late
Professor David F. Swenson.
Professor Swenson spent much of
his life studying Kierkegaard and ex-
aiming his philosophy. The collec-
ton of material on the Danish phil
osopher has already been started by
the library and several contributions
have been received.

Attack Fatal To
Henry G. Teigan

Henry G. Teigan, stalwart in the
Farmer-Labor party for many years,
died yesterday morning of heart
attack at his home in Minneapolis. He
became ill shortly after arising and
passed away before medical help ar
rived.
Mr.. Teigan was active in Farmer
Labor circles for many years, being
acting editor of the party's paper,
The Minnesota Leader, at the time of
his death. He entered politics in
1913, was secretary of the national
Non-Partisan League from 1916 to
1923, and the next two years served
as secretary to the late United States
Senator Magnus Johnson. He later
published the Farmer Labor Advo-
cate and Minnesota Leader.
He was elected to one term as state
senator from the goth district in 1888
and was chosen for congress in 1886
from the Third district. Defeated by
John G.. Alexander for reelection in
1888, he ran again last year and once
more lost out, this time to Richard
P. Gale, in a close race.
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, three brothers and three
sisters. His funeral will be held Sat-

BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Last Sunday treaty of peace be-
tween French Indo-China and Thai
land, formerly known as Siam, was
signed at Tokyo, but the funny thing
about it was that the peace actual
ly was between the government of
unoccupied France, at Vichy, and the
japanese empire. Thailand, nomi-
nally an independent country, didn't
have much to say about it, for Japan
insisted on getting nearly all the
winnings and all the privileges of
exploiting Indo-China for her own
economic and military purposes. That
was the price Japan exacted for medi-
ating between the two belligerents.
Whether that really means Japa-
nese penetration of the Dutch East
Indies-or plans along that line-is
something not yet known.
Trip to Europe.
Much hinged on the signing of
the treaty, among other things a
contemplated trip to Europe by Yo-
suke Matsuoka, Japanese foreign
minister. He didn't want to 60 until
the document had been duly signed,
but as soon as that had been done,
he entrained for far-off Europe.
Matsuoka intends to visit Mos
cow, Berlin and Rome, and this
may be a somewhat ominous cir
cumStance.
In Moscow he will, ostensibly, try
to bring about a Japanese-Russian
non-aggression treaty. Circumstances
being what they are, that may with
out a great deal of difficulty gradually
turn out to be what amounts, prac-
tically speaking, to a Russo-Japanese
alliance. Further possible prospects
are that Japan may be paving the

Income Tax Reports
Come Due Saturday

Saturday, March Is, is the deadline
for the payment of both state and
Federal income taxes and all re-
mittances must be made by then to
avoid penalty. The law has been
changed this year in that single indi-
viduals with gross income of $500
or more the past year or a married
individual with $4,000 or more, must
file a return.
In other years the liability was
1000 net income for single indi-
vidual and $4,000 for married per-
sons.
The state returns are to be sent
to the Income Tax Division, State
Office Building, st. Paul, and the
Federal filings 60 to the Collector

Project Leaders
Make Club Plans
Four-H Group Heads Meet
at Askov and Pine City
With State Agent.

A total of 20 adult local women
leaders met with Miss Amy Vessel,
state club agent from University
Farm, on Friday, March 7, to discuss
girls All Club projects and other
special club problems. One meeting
was held at the home of Mrs. Otto
A. Jensen in Askov, and the other was
held at the home of Mrs. Ainsley
Robinson near Pine City.
The leaders are very much inter-
ested in miniature canning ex-
hibit showing the required amount
and variety of canned foods neces-
sary for one person for the winter
months. Miss Vessel explained that
to get the total number of canned
foods required for the family, the
one-person budget could be multi
piled by the number in the family.
Use Simple Materials.
Miss Vessel also showed the lead
ers what could be done by girls TAX
ing the room furnishing project in
the line of simple skirts for dressing
tables, table runners, luncheon nap
kins, etc. The keynote in this pro-
ject is to use the material which
is available in sturdy, simple, and
long wearing materials. Feed sacks,
inexpensive but gay colored toweling,
and monks cloth are materials used
for most of these articles.
Clothing, cake, and bread projects
also came in for their share of the
discussion.
Two demonstrations were given by
local leaders at the Askov meeting,
one on variations of rolls that could
be made from a sweet dough, by
Mrs. John Meier of Askov, and one
on how to make and equip a sew
ing box and notebook for the cloth
ing project, by Mrs. Chas. Krantz.

Moose Lake gained the finals by
defeating Willow River Sc to Is and
Sandstone 80 to 81 while Barnum was

gaining commanding lead. Askov
led at the end of the first and third
quarters, while the Quarry City boys
were on top at the half IA to 13.
However, Sandstone found the range
