International News Review

Just now there is no indication that
British troops-as had been expected
some time ago-will move into Rus
sia to join that country's war of de-
fense. There is no very definite pros
pect that war supplies, promised by
both the United States and Great
Britain, will arrive in time and in the
huge volume which the extremely
critical situation demands.
AS it looks just now, Russia
will have to fight her own war,
and fight it, practically speaking,
alone.
She will have to defend herself
as valiently against German aggres-
sion as Finland less than two years
ago had to defend herself against
equally unprovoked Russian aggres-
sion.
British Enigma.
AS the situation in Russia becomes
blacker all the time, the question of
the British attitude attracts attention.
Why, it is asked-asked in England
itself, too-does not the British gov
ernment make move? Why do not
British forces invade the European
continent at time when Hitler has
all he can do in Russia? Some Lon
don dispatches describe the senti-
ment among the British as bordering
on hysteria. 1t is felt by ever so
many persons that it is now or never,
for, after all, the fate of the British
Isles may hinge on the outcome of
the war in Russia. And if no success
full attempt is made to gain a foothold
on the western part of the continent,
the loss of the eastern part may spell
disaster to Britain.
The British government has not
officially found it necessary to re-
ply to critical questioning, but
has, through indirect channels,
permitted the impression to SOAK

Farmers Goal In
Defense Program
Pine County Defense
Board and AAA Discuss
Plans for Next Year.

Members of the Pine County De-
tense Board and the AAA committee
attended district meeting at Cam
bridge Monday of this week to get
information on the 1912 farm de-
fense program. The Pine County De-
fense committee is composed of Case
Nieboer, Clair Shuey, Howard Shaw,
Mervyn Anderson and Max McMillin,
and the AAA committee members are
Case Nieboer, Mike Birkeland, Peter
Dumas and Mrs. Charles KrantZ,
farmer field-woman to Pine county.
At this meeting the food for de-
fense program was discussed by
Charles Stickney, State D f e n e
and Paul E. Miller, director
of Extension Division, and member of
the defense board. Other agricul-
tural agencies represented were the
REA, Farm Security Administration,
Credit Association, and
Soil Conservation Service.
Asks for Increase.
The government is asking for an in
crease of eight per cent in milk pro-
duction, nine per cent in egg produc-
tion and seven per cent in hog pro-
duction for the 1912 year; and the
committeeman are being asked to get
the 1941 production from each farm
and find out what each farmer thinks
he can produce in 1912.
The county committee is asking
each farmer to figure out ahead of
time how many gallons of milk they
will produce, the number of dozens of
eggs produced, and the number of
hogs sold for slaughter or used at
home during the 1941 year.
Would Support Price.
y Some time ago the Secretary of
announced that the gov
ernment would support the price of
these commodities at IS per cent of
parity until December 80, 1912. It
should be pointed out that this IS
per cent of parity is not maximum
price that can be paid, but is the
average minimum price which will
be guaranteed during this period.
After each farmer in the county
has been contacted, summary of the
1912 intentions will be made and it is
hoped by the committee that Pine
county will more than exceed their
goal.

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

War bulletins of the last few days
have looked very bad for the Rus
slams. Hitler's armies are-since Oc-
tober l. engaged in what may be the
mightiest offensive of any war in
history, and the fall of Moscow may
be expected at almost any moment;
indeed, there is the possibility that
the Germans will have taken the
capital of the Soviet republics when
these lines are being read. Anyhow
now at the minute that they are be-
ing written, the attacker is moving
so close to the city that the evacua-
ton of women and children has been
ordered. There also are rumors that
foreign embassies and legations are
preparing to flee.
Should Hitler take Moscow, it
will mark a new stage of the
mean that Russia gives up-al-
though that is probable. 1t is
probable that the Germans, if
they sit down in the halls of the
Kremlin, will force Russia to sign
a separate peace treaty, without
regard to the agreement with
Great Britain to the effect that all
peace pacts must be Jointly en-
tered into. In case of Hitler cap
ture of Moscow, the Russians will,
however, have no choice; should
they prefer to keep their agree
ment with England, they simply
will not be permitted to do so.
But even should Moscow fall into
the hands of the nazis, it is not yet
certain that German-Russian peace
will follow Immediately. There is
still lot of Russia left, and there is
will to defend it.
Outside Help.
In its determination to give up or
to continue, the Russian government
will be guided by prospects of help
coming from the outside.

Former Resident
Here Dies After
Lengthy Illness
ThOrvald Andersen Sue.
cumbs Friday Afternoon;
Funeral at Albert Lea.

Death came last Friday afternoon
at o'clock to end the suffering of
Thorvald Andersen who had been
confined at the Ching sana-
torium the past several months. The
former Askov businessman had been
in poor health number of years, his
condition becoming more serious the
past year. Since disposing of his
shoe store here last February to take
well-earned rest, he had been at
hospitals at Rochester and later at
Acknowledging for treatment but
medical skill was of no avail and the
end came last week.
He was born in Denmark on March
%, 1892, coming to this county at the
age of 20. At the time of the United
States entry into the World war he
was in the state of Washington and
was called in the draft there. A few
days after receiving his enlistment or
ders and before being enrolled in the
army he suffered leg injury as re-
suit of which he received his dis
charge from the draft. He then en-
tered hospital at Denver where the
limb was amputated.
Came to Askov in 1923.
Mr.. Andersen then lived for time
at Albert Lea, this state, and else
where before coming to Askov in the
spring of 1923 to be official cow tester
in the new association organized in
May that year. He held that position
until April, 1926, when he formed
a partnership with Olaf Petersen in
the shoe and harness repair business
in the barber shop building. They
constructed new building that sum-
mer. Mr.. Andersen later assumed
full ownership of the business which
then included modern shoe store
and harness shop in addition to the
repair work. In February of this year
he disposed of his business property
to j. R. Petersen.
A trusted and respected man, Mr..
Andersen made many friends here
during the time he spent in Askov
and of the Jens H. Jensen American
Legion Post for many years and was
a member of the Danish Brotherhood
Lodge and the Danish Lutheran
church. Though in poor health the
past few years he was always cheerful
and glad to see his friends. Many
called on him this summer while he
was at Acknowledging and found a
warm welcome there.
Burial at Albert Lea.
Funeral services were held at AL
bert Lea Tuesday afternoon at o.
clock with Rev. M. Mikkelsen of
Askov, officiating at the last rites.
The body was carried to its last rest
ing place in an Albert Lea cemetery
by George Ekberg, A. M. Simonsen,
Manford Nelson, Hans Abrahamsen,
N. P. Nielsen and Svend Petersen of
Askov. Other Askovites there for
the funeral were Mrs. M. Mikkelsen,
Mrs. Herluf Rasmussen, Mrs. Svend
Petersen, Mrs. Carl Eriksen, Mrs. Err
ling Christensen, Knud j. Feldtmose
and ]. R. Petersen.
Relatives attending the funeral
were two sisters, Mrs. Jens Arnbal,
and Mrs. Chris Christensen, and their
families, of Albert Lea; three BROTH
ers and their families, P. K. Andersen,
Albert Lea; Henry Andersen, Mil
waukee; and Axel Andersen, Camp
Douglas. The deceased also leaves
several brothers and sisters, one in
New York, and the others and their
father in Denmark.
The American joins in extending
sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Stroke And Duck
Hunting Mishap
Take Two Lives
Morris d. Folsom and
Hampton Barton, Hinck-
ley Men, Laid to Rest.

The Hinckley community mourns
the loss of two of its citizens who
were laid to rest the past week. Nor
ris D. Folsom died unexpectedly
Wednesday afternoon of last week
after a months illness following a
stroke and Hampton Barton, 81,
drowned in hunting mishap Satur-
day near Cass Lake. Services were
held for the former Sunday and the
Barton rites were read Tuesday.
Morris d. Folsom.
Morris D. Folsom passed away
Wednesday afternoon, October 8, at
his home at the age of 81. He had
been very active until his illness the
past month following a stroke. He
was able to be up and around part of
the time recently and passed away
unexpectedly while sitting in his
chair, in the presence of Mrs. Folsom
and physician.
Mr.. Folsom had been in the hard
ware business in Hinckley for many
years with his brother Jacob and sold
out five years ago to Harry Toussaint.
Since that time he has conducted a
music store in connection with a fun
eral directory, being assisted by Mrs.
Folsom. He was also noted piano
player and musician and was pianist
in the Hinckley Presbyterian church
for some time. He also directed the
Hinckley band a number of years. A
member of the A. F. & A. NJ, the
order of the Eastern Star and the In
dependent Order of the Odd Fellows
he took an interest in the various
lodge affairs.
Widow Survives.
Mr.. Folsom leaves to mourn his
passing his wife Elreida, two BROTH
ers, Howard of Pine City, and Walter
of Brainerd. His brother and former
business partner, Jacob, preceded him
in death year ago. Funeral services
were held at Hinckley Sunday, Oc-
tober IL, at 2:30 o'clock and burial
was made in the old family plot at
Taylors Falls.
The deceased was a kind husband,
well-liked businessman and a fine
friend and neighbor. The entire COM
munity and surrounding territory is
saddened by his departure and ex-
tends sympathy to the sorrowing rela-
tives.
HAMPTON Barton,
Hampton Barton, 81 years of age,
met his death Saturday afternoon by
drowning while on a duck hunting
trip with several friends near Cass
Lake. According to reports Mr.. Bar
ton and Mr.. Simon of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, were fishing on Big Rice lake
near the hunting grounds when sud-
den storm came up. The latter was
stricken with heart failure and the
storm-swept boat overturned when
Mr.. Barton went to his assistance. The
body of Mr.. Simon, encased in life
preserver, was washed ashore, but
it was not until late in the afternoon
that searchers could locate the body
of the other hunter.
Mr.. Barton had made his home for
many years at Hinckley. He was a
signal maintainer, being employed by
the Northern Pacific railway. His
widow, a son, Buddy, two daughters,
Mrs. Leora Rau and Doris, two grand
sons and brother, Bud, are left to
mourn his passing. Funeral services
were held from the home Tuesday
morning and burial was made in the
local cemetery.
The Hinckley community was deep
ly shocked by the accident and ex-
tends its heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family in its sudden and
tragic loss.
