is great state, and in many instances
similar to Minnesota, namely: They
have rain, snow, winds, sand, dust,

person ask for, if you want variety?

Minden, Nebr. They moved to Ord,
Nebr., in 1901, residing there until
1912 when they came to Askov to
make their future home.
Here they built and operated a
farm Az miles east and south of
town, and like the other early farm
settlers here, cleared the land of
brush and stones to make a home
for their family in the new COM
munity. Three years ago their chill
dren and other relatives built home
for them in the east part of Askov
village, and it was here that the
couple passed away. Mrs. Olesen died
on February Is, last year. They had
celebrated their golden wedding five

AskOv 4-H Club News

The ASkov All Club work is get
ting under way again this year. An
organization meeting was scheduled
last Monday evening, but was post
poned because of blocked roads. 1t
is hoped that all children who are
interested will come next Monday
night so we can get organized and
each member can get started on
a project.
Arid Frederiksen will be in charge
of the boys projects, Mrs. Charles
Krantz will have the sewing, Mrs.
Otto A. Jensen, the cake baking and
Mrs. Harry Mortensen the bread bak-
ing, Mrs. John Meier will have the
canning. She will give a talk on
"Your Lunch Pail" at the meeting
Monday night.
The Askov Coop Guild will help
sponsor the All work this year, and
that is a great encouragement to the
leaders.
If the parents would show deeper
interest and see that the children
work on and complete their projects
and attend meetings regularly, there
is no reason why the All work here
in Askov will not be a success and
bring real worth while results.
Last years record was good. A
high percentage of projects was COM
pleted. A number of teams and in
dividuals won at the county fair, and
went to the state fair; canning ex-
hibit and clothing exhibit were sent
down.
A leaders meeting will be held
at Mrs. Otto A. Jensen's home on
Friday. Leaders from northern Pine
county will meet there and state
leader will be present to help us
understand what is expected of All
leader.

CANNON FODDER
FROM AMERICA
(Ghicago5 5Tribune)

Gen Sir Claude Auchinleck, the new
commander in chief of the British army
IN the middle east, says that American
man power will be needed if the war is
to Be won properly
I've always thought the war must be
Won in Europe he told correspondents
in Cairo in Germany, on Germany S
own soil. Therefore | see as much need
for American man power in this war as
in the last Gen Sir Archibald ?. Wa
veil whom Gen. Sir Claude succeeded,
was of the same opinion. Neither has
fought on Germany's own soil. No Brit
ish land force has been close to 1t and
none has been on it as the war rounds
ou; its second year American man pow
er is to break into it and storm Berlin.
The British generals talk of Ameri
can man power and mean cannon fodder.
Man power is gentler word. The Brit
ish are waiting until the youth of this
country, millions of young men, have
been conscripted into military service,
and trained or unframed, can be carried
across seas to be thrown in masses
against the German war machine to be
blown to bits to fight their way into Ber-
lin and revenge the defeats in Norway,
Flanders. Greece, Crete, and Libya.
The British people have been taught
to expect this. The British generals de-
mand it. They are presenting an over
due note signed by the cannon fodder
traffickers of this country 1t is natural
for British generals who have fought
their wars with other peoples soldiers
to have these ideas and make such re-
QUESTIONS. 1t is not SO natural that
American society women who collect
bundles for Britain should have the same
feeling regarding the youth of their coun-
try It is not so natural for war commit
tees, the Aid the Allies the Fight for
Freedom, the Friends of China, and the
Union Now, to echo the demands of the
British generals.
But all these people are willing, even
anxious, to immediate the young men of
America on the battlefields of the whole
world and to do it now.

For more than two years, Amer
ican neWSpaperEen, diplomats, bus
mess men, and all. sorts ana con-
ditions of visitors have been des-
cribing Nazi penetration into South
America.
From tile hysterieai reports that
Germany was about to take over
the whole continent by telephone,
to the pooh-pooh reassurances that
they weren't really getting any
where. there have been reports of
all degrees of torridity No report
has ever denied that the Nazis are
there, dong what they can.
Over 5his somewhat murky pic
ture the story of the Illustration
by timely Bolivian action of a po-
tential ',putsch' there by Nazi
sympathizers illumines like a flash
Of lightning.
Bolivia is a country which has
powerful German influence. The
Bolivian army was German trained.
Officers from Germany who helped
train and direct it in the Chaco
war remained aIeerWard Many
young Bolivian army officers have
sentimental and professional at
tachment not only to things Ger

That in the very face of all these
facts, the Bolivian government had
the courage to kick out the Ger
man minister and arrest squads Of
powerful and influential people, ar
CUES that it felt the menace was
very real. Bolivia moved first.
The South American situation
sums up to this: In no country

EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN
CTurlock JournaD

1t is automatic in the underworld of
industry that sweatshops thrive by vic
timiZing women workers more than men.
The reason goes far back into industrial
history when women were regarded more
or less as interlopers and entitled only
to what they could get. They got very
little.
But during recent decades that condi-
ton has changed greatly, and it is chang
ing still more in these times when the
nation is seeking every available means
for speeding production for national de-
fense.
Women are coming into their own,
partly by force of necessity and largely
through the efforts of Women's organ
iZations such as the National Federation
Of Business and Professional Women's
clubs. In many employments they are
receiving pay equal to that of men.
Speaking for the promotion of new
economic world order, DR.. Minnie L. Maj
fet, president of the women's clubs, has
declared that 1T is a challenge to democ
racy and to civilization that women shall
not be exploited and used as a means of
lowering wage scales :. we women must
be ready for it if we want women to
have authority in the world of tomor-
row
