New High Is Set
By Choice Steers
Load of lO72.Pound Stock
Sold at SIS; Swine Con
tinue to Climb.

South st. Paul, Mimi, April 7, 1912:
A feature of the trading on slaugh-
ter steers and yearlings so far this
week was a load of choice 1912 pound
| steers which set new high at $500.
The general steer trade was strong
to Csc higher according to the Fed
eral-State Market News Service.
Numerous lots of good fed steers
turned at $1,000 to $13.25, while COM
mon and medium grades ranged from
$3.50 to $11.75. All other slaughter
classes held about steady with some
strength on the meager supply of
heifers. Medium to good heifers sold
at $11.00 to $11.5O, while common
kinds ranged downward to S8.25. A
bulk spread of $3.50 to $8.25 took
most Gamer and cutter cows while
common and medium beef cows sold
from $3.50 to $925, and good cows
ranged up to $1,000. Strictly good
beef bulls sold freely up to S1025,
with most medium and good sausage
offerings getting $8.75 to $1,000. Good
and choice vealers at $11.50 to $3.50,
and strictly choice Koshers at $14.00
to $500 were barely steady on Tues
day Stockers and feeders were
scarce and sold strong to Csc higher.
Moving Upward.
Swine prices are still moving up
ward. Gains the past two days will
I1rfobarc oh
160 pounds and sows, while the light
er weights will in instances be 40c
to SOC higher, depending upon the
outlet. Improved prices in the East
for dressed pork products has been
of beneficial nature, but the supply
available around the midwestern live
circuit will fall short of a week ago.
New high marks at $14.10 for but
chers, and $13.85 for sows, will re-
vert to July 1926. Feeder pigs seal
ing around 120 to 140 pounds have
sold upwards to $13.25 and slightly
above.
Sheep and lamb receipts show a
marked decrease as compared with a
similar two-day period week ago,
Fat lamb quotations followed steady
trend while fat ewes lost Csc and
western feeding and shearing lambs
were 15c higher as compared with
last weeks close. Good and choice
fed wooled lambs cashed at $1,000 to
$12.35, and similar grade SO pound
shorn lambs with No. pelts made
$10.85. Good and choice fat ewes
brought $500 to $3.50. Good and
choice white-face feeding and shear
ing lambs brought up to S11.50 and
natives made $1,000 to $11.00.

Farm Scrap Iron
Makes 5000 Tanks

Enough scrap iron when mixed
with other material to make $4,000
aerial bombs weighing 500 pounds
each, or enough scrap iron to con-
struct more than 3,100 medium tanks
weighing 81 tons each, has been mar
keted by Minnesota farmers during
the past six months, Charles w. Stick
ney, state USDA War Board and
AAA chairman, announced recently.
A recent farm-to-farm survey made
for the War Board by AAA farmer
elected committeeman reveals ap-
proximately 114,238,000 pounds Of
scrap has been collected off farms
and sold. Around 81,000,000 pounds
remain on farms and will be moved
as soon as weather and road condi-
tions permit.

Move Sandstone
Triple A Office
CCC Feed Wheat Avail
able; Farm Scrap Iron
Needed for Victory.

In order to carry out added re-
sponsibilities brought on by the war
effort, the AAA office at Sandstone
has been moved to new and more
suitable quarters next to the Kroning
Drug Store Officials of the AAA
state that the new location will great
ly facilitate carrying on their work
and that they will be better prepared
to handle their additional duties.
More CCC feed wheat has been re-
ceived in Pine county and will be
ordered as needed. Any dealer in
terested in handling the wheat may
contact the AAA office and informa-
ton needed to obtain and sell the
feed will be furnished. Any feeder
or group of feeders may order car
delivered on the track at any rail-
road station in Pine county. Orders
for wheat will be taken at the AAA
office. The grain is not a salvaged
or damaged product but good quail
ity of feed wheat.
Scrap Iron Needed.
The office also states that scrap iron
is desperately needed and as there
is an alarming scrap deficiency the
government is counting on the farm
ers to move their scrap. If the iron
and steel does not flow to dealers
and mills, it must be diverted from
other sources for military production,
so the farmer is helping to protect
his own supply of farm machinery
by moving scrap off the farm.
Two forms sent out from the AAA
office, "1942 Farm Defense Plan Sup
plement" and ''Production for War
Campaign" have nearly all been filled
out and returned. Those who have
not yet returned the forms, properly
filled out, are asked to do so at once
as the information on them is i'm
portant and needed now.

School District
AT Willow Cuts
Interest On Debt
Refund $4,000 Remain.
ing of Original Indebted
ness at New Rate.

Transactions for the refunding Of
school district bonds of District 81
Willow River, at lower rate of in
terest were completed last week when
the $4,000 remaining on the orig
inal Indebtedness was refnanced al
3A per cent interest as compared to
the previous AZ per cent.
Superintendent c. G. Aakhus of the
Willow River schools and M. L. Mel
berg and H. Nortrup of the school
board, were in st. Paul Wednesday
April l, to make the final arrange
ments.
Bonds Issued in 1919.
The bonds issued to build the school
in 1919 were issued for $4,000 al
S per cent interest and $4,000 al
z per cent interest and continued in
this form until 1884 when the entire
remainder, $4,000, was refunded al
An per cent interest.
During the last five years $4,000
of this principal and the interest has
been paid, leaving the new issue OF
$4,000 at 3A per cent interest.
During the summer Superintendent
Aakhus contacted bond brokers with
the idea of obtaining a lower rate o1
interest. Juran and Moody of St
Paul, undertook to serve as agent
for the district and closed the trans
action last week. Kalman & Bishop
of st. Paul, purchased the bonds.
Save 10 Mills Per Year.
This action will save the taxpayers
an average of 10 mills per year in
the tax schedule for the next 20 years
at which time the bonds will be re-
tired.
In commenting on the transaction
Norbert Park of the firm of Juran
and Moody, complimented the board
on the fine stewardship of the school
fiscal affairs and pointed out that the
careful management of the past years
had largely encouraged the sale "i
these bonds at the reduced interest
rate.

forces. In both cases it is added that
other ships may possibly" have been
sunk, and some damaged.
At all events, however delayed such
news has to be, it shows at least one
thing, and that is that the Americans
are on the job now.
Australia.
That also becomes evident from
the fact that since American forces
came to Australia, the Japanese seem
to have given up their hopes about
conquering that continent.
One cannot make that a posi-
tive statement, for it may, of
course, be that the enemy has
been merely checked and is gath
ering new strength to be able to
cope with the tremendously in
creased power of resistance which
Australia now possesses.
In the Philippines, too, the Amer
leans are showing their characteristic
grit. Time and again the japanese
forces under the leadership of Gen.
eral Yamashita have been trying to
chase General Wainwright's American
and Filipino troops away from Cor
regidor and Bataan, and just as often
have been repulsed.
Please, note here one rather
interesting fact, this namely, that
Yamashita, proving himself a
brilliant soldier, conquered the
Malay Peninsula and Singapore
in relatively short time-inflicted
on Britain what Churchill him
self the other day called, "the
worst disaster in the military rec
ords of the British empire"
Yet that same Yamashita, now for
weeks commanding the Japanese
forces in the Philippines, has not been
able to dislodge the rather small
American and Filipino troops. To
make the situation all the more re-
markable, one recalls that the Brit
ish in Singapore were able to get re-
inforcements-not all the time but

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Daily newspapers in a belligerent
country have a way of dishing out
at times-informati which looks
startling and exciting, mainly because
it is embellished with the biggest
available headlines, and then-not al
ways, but often-a reading of the
story covered by the headlines will
disclose the fact that the material
is not, strictly speaking, news, at least
not something that has just happened
Last week there were two such in
stances in this country: Nearly the
entire press "played up" reports about
the sinking of certain American wal
vessels and, when that impression had
settled, did likewise with the more
encouraging information that the ene-
my, too, had suffered losses.
No doubt the reason for the
fact that these events had taken
place quite some time ago and
had not previously been reported
to the public, may be the wish of
the authorities not to hand out
anything until the relatives of
men fallen or wounded had been
notified.
At all events, the information was
released that the U. S. aircraft tender
Langley, the destroyer, Peary, and
the tanker, Pecos, had been sunk with
total loss of seven hundred men.
The action had taken place mid-Feb-
ruary, late in that month, and early
in March. On April 4, the American
people heard about the tragedy.
Other Side.
To sort of offset that, the follow
ing day news was published to the
effect that American submarines had
"sunk or damaged" six Japanese war;
ships in an unspecified recent" ac-
ton.
The publicly known tally then was
like this-since December z, last year:
Twenty-Five American naval vessels
of all types sunk; twenty-nine enemy
naval vessels sunk by the American

clay courts champion. perhaps to-
day could thank a display of tenn
permanent for the fact that he was
the winner of a hard-fought FIVE
set match for the championship in
the North Shore tennis tourna-
ment. 4-6, 6-3, ST. o., 6-3.
The temperamental outburst
was on the part of Gardner
Larned OF Chicago. Greenberg's
opponent in the final match of the
tournament. After he had accum-
ulated a TO advantage in the
first three sets and seemed IN a
fair way 10 whip the man who
recently beat him in straight sets
in the Illinois state tennis meet,
Larned apparently blew up.
He was provoked by a ruling by
the presiding official who declared
a ball good which Larned thought
Otherwise. He started an argu-
ment with the umpire and before
he had concluded his remarks he
was debating with the spectators.
He then proceeded to drop the
next two sets to Greenberg.
