The 1912 Christmas Seals have
been released for advanced sale by
local committees so that they might
be sent to men in the armed forces

The regular sale of the Seals does
not begin until November %, but
local Christmas Seal sale leaders will

of the Christmas Seal sale at Askov
and the Seals may also be obtained
at the Askov post office.

Good Lamb Crop
Result OF Care

With Minnesota farm flocks con-
tributing valuable wool and meat to
the war effort, it is more important
than ever that sheep raisers take the
two essential steps toward a good
lamb crop next spring, says w. E.
Morris, extension sheep specialist at
University farm.
The first step is to head the flock
with a good purebred ram that will
improve the quality of lambs next
year. The second step is to have
the eve flock flushed" or in gain
ing condition at breeding time. The
first step will insure a better lamb
crop; the second means larger lamb
crop, because flushing increases the
number of twins.
Plan to give the ewes extra feed
two or three weeks before the ram
is turned in and keep this up through
out the breeding season. During pas
ture season lush new pasture will
do the trick. On dry feeding ewes
may be flushed with a half to a
pound of oats or other grain per head
per day.
1t has been proved conclusively
that this gaining condition will re-
suit in more twins. Furthermore, the
ewes will lamb closer together and
insure much more even lamb crop
next spring.

'Rationing Books
For All Purposes
Being Made Now
Over 10000, 900 are Or
dered by OPA; to be Dis
tributed This year.

The first of four wartime ration
ing books, for "all-purpose" ration
ing, is now being prepared at the
government printing office in Wash
ington, and over 100000 will be
printed. The new book, somewhat
on the order of the sugar rationing
books, will be known as War Ration
Book No. 2, and is designed for ra-
tioning any article or commodity
They will be distributed throughout
the nation probably before Christ
mas.
Two Possible Systems.
The design of the book makes pos
sible its use for straight coupon ra-
tioning, such as is now used for
sugar, or for use of the point sys-
tenn whereby the consumer may
"spend" his ration in various grades
and kinds of a general type of COM
modify. The first book is adequate
for rationing of at least two major
groups of commodities for a mini
mum of six months. It contains
1872 coupons on eight pages, each
page separate color and each cou-
pom designated by number and let
ter.
Consumers will receive their books
on the basis of the sugar registration
An adult member of the family may
apply for books for all members
of the family by presenting all the
sugar ration books of that group
Sugar ration books will be retained
by consumers because sugar ration
ing will not be affected by the new
coupons.
Would Fit Many Needs.
Here is how the books can be
adapted to any rationing program;
Suppose meat rationing is the next
step. The Office of Price Admin
istration would validate one section
Of the book as the sasheat rationine
coupons, at the same time making
public the regulations controlling
their use. Other commodities would
be handled in the same way.
The new book will measure about
AZ by 51a inches. It will have a
heavy manila cover and the coupon
pages will be printed on safety paper
to prevent counterfeiting. Pages will
be glued together instead of stapled
to save critical material. On the
front page will be the great seal OF
the United States of America, serial
number of the book, statement of its
uses and signature of the Office OF
Price Administration. The back
cover will carry all necessary infor-
nation regarding the holder of the
book, instructions and other infor-
nation.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

At the present time there is no
single event of the war which at
tracts more interest and attention
than the continued siege of Stain
grad in southern Russia, for the
Soviets are defending it with stub
born heroism which is, probably,
without parallel in modern history.
Perhaps realizing definitely
that there is no hope of getting
outside help before the onset of
winter, the Russians have di-
rected achievements from West
Siberia to the Stalingrad front,
and while they may not sue
coed in turning the tide of the
battle, it is possible that they
can fight heavily delaying &C
ton by the Nazis.
But that is not yet saying that
they will be able to hold Stalingrad
in fact, it looks pretty gloomy, for
if it is true-and it seems to be
that the enemy already is in the
streets of the city proper or the
suburbs, the situation is an extreme
ly critical one.
Japanese Possibilities.
1t does not improve the Russian
position that new man has been
appointed to the post of foreign min
lister of Japan, namely, Masayuki
TAM, who starts out aggressively with
a program which calls for the COM
plete crushing of the United States
and Great Britain; for closer coop
Grafton with Germany and Italy, and
for the introduction of the so-called
New Order-along the lines of
Nazism-in East Asia.
To Russia the danger in this
program lies in the point an
nouncing a closer cooperation
with the European part of the
Axis, for that can really mean
only one thing, war on Asiatic
Russia.
One should not draw hasty con-
clusions-although they do seem al
most irresistible-but point out that

cumbs to Cerebral Hem
orrhage; Rites Saturday.

Death came Wednesday of last
week for Mrs. Anna Lusa Peura, SO,
of Finlayson, resident of that COM
munity since the spring of 1909. She
had been ill the past summer but
the immediate cause of death was
cerebral hemorrhage.
Funeral services were held from
the st. Johns Lutheran church at
2 o'clock Saturday, September 10,
with Rev. M. R. Ruohoniemi in
charge, interment being made in the

International News Review

as yet there has been not one iota
of evidence showing that the rela-
tons between Tokyo and Moscow are
likely to change. It is one of those
things that may happen, but for
the moment, official friendship, how
ever cool, remains undisturbed.
China Front.
To many observers the question
persists: But can Japan really take
on any additional enemies? Can she
or, as it also has been limited, invade
India? We do not know If the
situation in China is anything to
judge by, Japan cannot very well
expand her battlefelds, for here the
soldiers of the Mikado are still in
full retreat from the provinces of
Chekiang and Kiangsi, and it is no
longer thoughts it was short
time ago-that it was merely strate-
gic retreat; it is firmly believed that
the Japanese are running away be-
cause the Chinese are proving too
strong for them.
The Chinese pursuit of the in
vaders is remarkable in view of
the fact that the troops of Chi
ang Kai-shek have been fighting
necessarily for more than five
years. They still fight. They
fight well.
On other fronts there are, also,
signs of possible japanese weak
ening.
Southwest Pacific.
Always one has to be guarded in
statements concerning the potential
strength of the japanese, and, like
wise, one should be warned against
drawing hasty conclusions, for the
Japanese are masters of the art of
ruse. They may want to give an
appearance of weakness in order to
conceal their real strength, but what
ever the facts of the matter are, they
are not doing any too well on the
Solomon Islands in the southwest
Pacific.
