District Is Does
Well At Regional

In the Region 7 track meet held at
Coleraine Saturday, North Branch,
District Is winner, took third place
while two athletes from Pine City
made a total of five points. Morris
Milgrom starred in the pole vault
by tieing for first place and Bob
Rypkema finished third in the go
yard dash.
Eiler Frederiksen of Askov, Win
ner of the mile event in the district
meet two weeks ago, finished in sec
ond place at Coleraine, only a few
strides behind one of the fastest high
school milers in the state. He will
race on the University of Minnesota
track Saturday in a statewide meet
The achievement of the athletes
from this district was commendable
in view of the fact that the seventh
region covers all that part of the
state from the southern part of Chi
sage county to the north boundary
of the state, including Duluth and
the Range cities.

|Raps Statement
OF Senator Ball
Hialmar Petersen Scores
Senator's Appraisal of
Soldiers at the Front.

Taking Minnesota's junior senator,
Joseph H. Ball, to task for his ode
liberate appraisal of our fighting
men at the 'front.'" Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner Hjalmar
Petersen declared last Friday that
Minnesota needs new senator.
Petersen's statement, prompted by
remarks made the previous day by
Senator Ball, follows:
1.-THE campaign of the Minneapolis
Daily Times to secure special in
sigma for war production workers
is commendable. The work per-
formed by these people is essential
to the winning of the war.
81 was amazed, however, to read
Senator Joseph H. Balls statement
of May 18th, in which he said:
"'The more I learn about modern
warfare, the more it appears to me
that the job is IS per cent produc-
ton and transportation, and about
five per cent, although that five per
cent is all-important, actual fight
ing -
There you have Senator Balls
deliberate appraisal of our fighting
men at the front. He says that the
soldiers, sailors and marines who are
fighting and dying for us make con-
tribution of only five per cent to the
winning of the war. There you have
the mathematical formula of the
fighting mans worth by Governor
Stassen's appointee-fve per cent.
II wonder if the governor can still
support this individual for election
to the United States Senate. Can it
be that the governors indifference
to the soldiers right to a free vote
reflects the senator's appraisal of the
soldiers worth.
''Mr. Ball will be remembered as
the first individual to say that the
civilian at home is more important
in the winning of the war than the
soldier at the front-nineteen times
more important, according to the
senator
Minnesota needs new senator"

.ChoiceSlaughter
Cows In Demand
Other Classes Not as Ac-
tive But Sell Generally
Steady; Hogs Down.

South st. Paul, Mimi, May 49,,
1912: A feature of the slaughter cat
tie trade here was the urgent de-
mand for cows, this class effecting
a Csc to Soc upturn since late last
week, according to the Federal State
Market News Service. Other classes
were not as active, but sold generally
steady. Choice slaughter classes were
scarce A few choice yearlings
reached $14.OO, while strictly good
and choice steers made $500 to
$13.75 and medium and good grades
were more frequently seen at SLIPS
to $3.50. Good cows realized $1,000,
while Gamers and cutters reached
$675 to $8.75, also a few weighty
cutters at $500. Good and choice
vealers earned $500 to $145O, also
a few at $500. Medium and good
feeder steers went out at $1,000 to
SLIPS.
General Prices Down.
Successive lower sessions in the
hog division early this week reduced
the general price structure zoe to
mostly Csc on all weights and classes.
Tuesdays top was $3.50, with the
bulk of the good and choice butchers
above 160 pounds selling from $13.85
to $3.50, while a scattering of big
weights and light lights had to go as
low as $3.50. A large share of the
sow crop went over the scales at
$13.75, with a range of $3.50 to
$3.50 accounting for the entire sup
ply of this class. Stays bulked at
$14.00 and good and choice feeder
pigs scaling below 140 pounds, cleared
at S13.75 to $14.00.
Fed lambs sold unevenly higher
during the past two days. Opening
the weeks trading at 15c to Csc high
er money, the ensuing session added
as much as 40c to such returns.
Other classes held firm price levels
with little around to test the mar
ket. Shorn lambs comprised the
bulk of the salable supply. Good and
choice clippers ranged from $3.50
to $14.4O, the latter price taking 90
pound offerings with mostly num-
Der two pelt credit. A few spring
lambs sold from $500 to $1,000,
with best wooded lambs at $14.5O.
Shorn ewes topped $500. Shear
ing lambs reached $1,000.

New Army Policy
To Help Selectees

Registrars for Selective service
are warned that they should await
actual induction into the army be-
fore making any final disposition of
financial and personal affairs. While
preliminary examinations are made
by local board physicians, the selectee
must undergo a final check-up at an
army reception center and it is not
until he has passed the latter test
that he will be accepted. The initial
examination is merely to eliminate
the obviously unfit.
Under a new war department pol
icy the men indicted will be given
ample time to return to their homes to
adjust personal affairs within few
days after induction. Burroughs which
are to be recommended by the local
boards, will begin not later than five
days after induction, and will usually
not exceed 10 days. After June Is,
inductees will be granted ii days
leave before being assigned to active
duty.
It is believed that this new army
policy should prevent any undue
hardship to selectees who are in
Quoted. In the past there have been
cases of hardship which were un-
avoidable under the old system. Some
men, expecting induction, had made
final disposition of their personal af-
fairs and then were rejected. Others
were considerably Inconvenience
after induction while awaiting leave
to adjust pressing personal matters.
Now, however, every prospective in
ductee is assured that if he requires
reasonable time to return to his home
to dispose of his personal affairs,
leave will be granted to him within
a few days after his induction.

Gives Pointers On
Proper Sheep Care

About 70 men and boys attended
the two sheep demonstrations held
at the Clarence Loken farm near
Friesland and the George Peters farm
southwest of Pine City Wednesday
of last week. Max McMillin, county
agent, arranged for the demonstra-
tons.
A. R. Karr, extension specialist
of University Farm, gave very good
discussion on proper handling of
sheep, stressing such points as
drenching and dipping of sheep to
take care of parasites and watching
for fly magots, and especially stress
ing the importance of properly-car-
ing for the wool as the government
is using more and more wool He
stated that it takes IS pounds of wool
to equip one soldier, and it is the
duty of every sheepman to produce
every pound of wool that he posi-
bly, can.
The use of pheno-thi-azine as a
control for stomach worms was dis.
cussed, and Mr.. Karr said that this
was very efficient remedy for
nodular worms but should be given
in the spring before the flock is
turned out on pasture. Of course,
if the flock is badly infested, it could
be given sometime during the pas
ture season also. Copper sulphate
and nicotine sulphate is still the
standard remedy for stomach worms,
and pamphlets giving instructions for
-drenching sheep can be obtained at
the county agents office.
Mr.. Moore of the Central Coop
erative Association gave a short talk
on how to select finished lambs and
stressing the fact that many lambs
are sent to the market in a thin con-
dition whereas they should be kept
home and finished out by the owner.
Mr.. Moore pointed out that buck
lambs bring $1.50 less and that long
tailed lambs are also Disseminated
against at the market.

International News Review

pretty worried about the Kharkov
situation, as we'll he may be, and
for that reason, also, rumors have
been heard that he already may have
instructed his ambassador at Tokyo
to try to persuade Japan to declare
war on Russia. After all, Japan is
an ally of Germany, and Hitler may
feel that he has some right to de-
mand support. The fact that be-
tween Japan and Russia there is a
treaty, is not likely
to prove any obstacle to Herr Hitler
who repeatedly has demonstrated his
supreme contempt and disrespect for
international agreements.
If Berlin approached Tokyo on this
matter-it is possible, but not GER
tain-and if Tokyo proved agree
able, the entire picture of the war
would change. So far, however, all
confirmation is lacking.
Out of Burma.
Japan, for that matter, has plenty
to do. To her victories she has
duUeO tIle conquest OF burma, now
unprotected by British soldiers-for
the last struggling group of them
have retreated into India-but there
is still that big job of conquering
China
Almost five years ago the Japanese
found that it was a very tough as
signment; since July, 1887, they have
been trying to subjugate that in
domitable nation, and although they
have taken many of the large Chinese
cities and much other territory, they
have not yet made themselves the
masters of all China.
1t is quite plain that they now
are about to make a supreme
attempt to reach that goal, so
their troops are streaming into
southwestern China from Burma,
and they are finding that this
particular front is not quite as
easy to handle as they may have
expected. Time and again they

nation issued today by Mayor Hans
Mosbaek. The mayor called upon
all citizens to observe the day by
wearing the memorial poppy of the
American Legion and Auxiliary. The

fective way of keeping bright the
memory of those young men who
gave their lives in Americas service
in the World war, and
Whereas, men of Askov served
CALAMITY in that war, and
Whereas, the present national
emergency requires the same type
of unselfish patriotism displayed by
the men and symbolized by their
memorial flower, and
Whereas, the donations given this
year for the poppy may also be used
in the cases of need among the men
now in the armed forces and for
emergency relief for their families
if they, too, are in need, and
Whereas, the women of the Amer
lean, Legion Auxiliary will distri-
butte veteran-made memorial peoples
throughout the village on Saturday,
May %,
"Now, therefore, I, Hans Mosbaek,
mayor of the village of Askov, do
proclaim, Saturday, May %, to be
Poppy day, and urge all citizens to
observe the day by wearing the
memorial poppy of the American
Legion and American Legion Aux
iliary in honor of the men who died
for America in the war of 1917 and
1918, and as tribute to our men
now in service"
