Petersen Speaks
AtShipping Meet
Southern Pine Livestock
Group Hold Annual Meet
ing Tuesday.

The cooperative movement, its aims
and its idea, was the theme of an
address Tuesday afternoon by HAL
mar Petersen, railroad and warehouse
commissioner, at the sixth annual
meeting of the Farmers Cooperative
Shipping Association of Rock Creek,
Pine City and Rush City, held in the
armory at Pine City.
In his talk Petersen listed the
reasons for the start of the coopera-
tive movement and stated that the
system is not motivated by profit,
but by economy and service. Other
tendencies were to eliminate pre-
ferred incomes from interest, specu-
lation and monopolies; substitute
mutual aid for destructive rivalry
and antagonism; decentralize control
of producer and production, placing
it in the hands of local groups; and,
lessen the need of government con-
troll and to promote local control.
Incorporated in 1886.
The Farmers Cooperative Ship
ping Association was incorporated on
January 2, 1886, and now has men,
bership of approximately 1000 farm
ers who ship livestock by truck. The
association has two trucks bringing
livestock to the South st. Paul market
every week day except Saturday. 1t
is one of the most promising CO.
operative shipping associations in
Minnesota.
Leonard Anderson of Pine City,
and Arnold Walberg of Braham, are
the truck managers. Arthur Peter
son of Pine City, is president of the
association and John E. johnson of
Rock Creek, the secretary. There
are five directors.

Willow River Firm
Adds improvements

The Willow River Mercantile Com
pany recently enlarged and improved
its store by cutting through the south
wall to utilize the space formerly
occupied by the barber shop. This
gives the firm well-lighted office
and more room for merchandise.
The Mercantile Company is one
of the oldest established firms in the
Willow River community, having been
in business there about 20 years.
Edw. Halva is the business manager;
Mrs. Halva assists with the buying
and Mrs. Otto Reuer has been with
the firm as clerk the past five years.
Since last year Lee Roberts, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. I. G. Roberts, has been
employed there.

Kerrick Aid Dra,Us
Favorable Comment

The Kerrick advertisement, ap-
pearing weekly in the pages of
the American, has often evoked
favorable comment from news
papermen and others. Two of
the most recent came from D. J.
Fouquette, state director of the
Federal Housing Administration,
and from Tom Zener, special
representative of the same Or
ganization. The letters were adj
dressed to the Kerrick State
Bank. The American takes pleas
ure in printing these.
Mr.. Fouquette's letter reads as
follows:
"Our mutual friend, Tom Boright
publisher of the Commercial West
Minneapolis financial magazine
submitted a clipping of recent ad-
vertisement prepared by your bank
headed Success, which 1 think is
very much worth while.
During a recent visit of Mr.. Tom
Zener, Special Representative of Fed
eral Housing Administration, 1 had
the pleasure of submitting the copy
to him for comment. The favorable
reaction of Mr.. Zener as to the copy
contained in the advertisement, is
reflected by a letter which he has
written to you under date of Febru-
airy 81, which is enclosed.
81 do want to offer my congratu-
lations for a job we'll done"
Mr.. Zener's letter continues:
"Mr. Daniel j. Fouquette, State
FILA Director in Minnesota, showed
me copy of recent advertisement
of yours, headed Success. 1 under
stand that you were the author OF
this copy, and want you to know
in a fairly long observation of SINH
lar material l have never read a
more sensible, truthful, or forceful
lesson. Frankly, l think you are to
be roundly congratulated for this type
of material
while am not from Minneapolis
travelling in ten midwestern states
for FILA, you may be sure it is re-
freshing to see such splendid ma
terial."

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Facts are not matters of wishful
thinking. You have to face them
whether you like them or not, and
you have to accept them whether
they jibe with your opinions and
hopes or not. You have to bow be-
fore facts that are likely to be con-
sidered most unpleasant from GER
tain viewpoints.
One such fact is the undisputed
diplomatic victory which the axis
powers have won during the last
few days.
In the Balkans, Germany made
Bulgaria sign on the dotted line,
and in Asia Germany's ally, Jap
an, made the Vichy government
of unoccupied France do the same
thing.
1t had been expected right along
that Bulgaria would be unable to re-
sist German pressure, for it was
thought, and has not been denied,
that Hitler wanted to send his troops
through Bulgaria to help his pal,
Mussolini, whose armies suffer de-
feat after defeat.
Yielding.
Then last Saturday the sudden an
nouncement was made that Bulgarian
Premier Bogdan Philoff and For
eign Minister Ivan Popoff had gone to
Vienna where, in the presence of
Adolf Hitler, they signed-with the
foreign ministers of Germany and
Italy and the japanese ambassador
to Germany-a treaty that makes
Bulgaria definite ally of these three
powers.
1t developed early this week
that even before the treaty of

Death Comes To
Two OF Askoy's
Early Settlers
N. P. Jensen Funeral To-
day; Niels Olesen Rites to
be Held Tomorrow.

The Askov community was sad
dened Tuesday by the death of two
respected, old-time settlers here. N.
P. Jensen died that morning at three
o'clock and Niels Olesen passed away
Tuesday evening at about $50. Death
was brought on in each case by
heart trouble and complications due
to old age.
The former had been more or less
active up until few days before his
death. On his 84th birthday last
Friday he became seriously i'll short
ly after chopping some wood and
fingered until early Tuesday. Mr.
Olesen had been bothered with heart
trouble for many years but it was
only the past winter that he was con-
fined to his home. The past few
weeks he had been gradually growing
weaker and the end came peacefully
this week.
Niels Peter Jensen was born in
Fjaltring, Upland, Denmark on Feb
ruary %, 1857. He grew to manhood
in that country and in his youth was
a sailor, serving with the Danish navy.
He was united in marriage to Pauline
Jensen on March Is, 1888 and the fol-
lowing day they left their native
land to come to this country. They
first settled at Tyler, this state, liv-
ing there three years, then moving
to Chicago, where for 20 years Mr..
Jensen followed his trade as painter.
In Askov Since 1910.
On November 8, 1910 the family
came to Askov to make their home
in the new Danish colony. Here Mr..
Jensen continued his work as paint
ing contractor but also found time
to take an active part in outdoor life
He was keen and alert hunter and
fisherman and many times served as
a guide for sportsmen in their quest
for game In the early years at Askov,
he did not have to 60 far from the
village limits on his hunting or fish
ing trips, and seldom came home
empty handed. On March II. three
years ago he and Mrs. Jensen cele-
brated their 5Oth wedding anniver-
sary when friends and neighbors gath
cred in the D. B. S. hall to help them
mark the event. Mr.. Jensen was a
member of the Danish Brotherhood
Lodge No. 263 of Askov and both
he and his wife were members of the
Danish Lutheran church.
Wife, Two Children Survive.
Six children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Jensen, two, together with their
mother, surviving. Two sons, Ans
gar and Harold, died in infancy in
Chicago, and another son, William,
and a daughter. Valborg (Mrs. Err
nest Malling) have been at rest
several years. The two children left
to mourn the passing of their father
are Axel of Eastsound, WASH, and
Thyra Mrs Olaf Jensen) of Grand
Forks, N. D.
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon in Askov at 2 p. M
from the church and interment will
be made in the family lot in the local
cemetery. The pallbearers will be
Christopher Nielsen, Louis Olsen, T.
N. Thomson, 1. A. Ecklund, Bertel
Fisher and Martin Johnson. Rev.
M. Mikkelsen will officiate at the
last rites.
NielS OleSen.
Born in Haderslev, Slesvig, Den
mark, on July 10, 1868, Niels Olesen
was married in that country to Marie
Katrine Jensen of Ydby at the home
of the latter on January 6, 1885. They
came to the United States on July

international News Review

Vienna was actually signed, Ger
man troops, marching in from
Rumania, had already begun to
invade Bulgaria. Later word was
flashed that they had crossed that
country and taken up stations
along the Bulgar- Greek border,
ready to attack Greece If and
when Hitler gives the green light.
Bulgaria submitted tamely. What
else could she do-with a German
army of perhaps 100000 men held
in readiness at her northern frontier?
In the meantime, negotiations had
been going on at Ankara between
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and Turkish statesmen for the
purpose of restraining Turkey from
entering into cooperation with Ger
many. What transpired at this con-
ference is not known beyond the
briefest possible statement that 'sper-
feet agreement was reached on all
points" From Ankara Mr.. Eden went
on to Athens where he was to per-
suade the Greeks not to conclude
peace with Italy at this time even
though Germany might make such
a demand.
More Yielding.
On another front, axis diplomacy
also registered triumph, for Japan
made the Vichy government back
down. A war has been on between
Thailand (Siam) and French Indo-
China, and Japan, interested in OBJ
tanning access to some of the natural
resources of Indo-China and also,
possibly, to the Dutch East Indies,
successfully offered her services as
mediator, but in such a way that she
herself was to reap more benefits
