Vote To Continue
Dairy Association

Members of the Pine County Dairy
Breeders Association, at meeting
in the Sandstone high school Friday
evening, July 16, voted unanimously
to continue epera,aofs of the organ
ization. The purpose of the meeting,
as outlined by President E. B. Green
wald of Finlayson, was to decide
whether or not the associations work
could be continued because of an in
sufficient number of cows listed at
the present time to warrant the en-
ployment of two inseminators. One
inSeminator can not handle the work
because of scattered membership.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that from 1900 to 1900 more cows,
all within a radius of Is miles of
Askov or Pine City, must be signed
up within the next few weeks if the
association is to remain in operation.
1t was voted that members, if they
wished, could sign up only part of
their herd for artificial dissemination.
The membership fee is S. per herd
Will q lCS VI pei SOW
which includes three services if
needed. Farmers living within the
territory served by the association
and wishing to join should contact
Chris. Frederiksen of Askov, secre-
tary of the association, or one of the
inseminators.
Felix Schmiesing, inseminator from
Askov, reported at the meeting that
the average rate of settling cows since
September l had been about so per
cent on the first service and about
SO per cent on the second, or aproX-
imately rs per cent on both. H. R.
Searles, Extension Dairy Specialist
from University Farm, pointed out
that this rate, although not quite as
good as in some associations, was
also higher than in others. Both Mr..
Schmeising and Mr.. Searles expected
that the rate here would be stepped
up somewhat for another year.

Lists Preventatives
For Bread Spoilage

Rope" spoilage for bread due to
certain bacteria not destroyed by
oven heat in home baking, has been
reported from several sections of the
county, Clyde P. Shumway, county
agent, reports. The disease is de-
veloped by hot weather with rains
similar to recent weather conditions,
but subsidies during cooler periods.
Mr.. Shumway states that it will
not flourish in a slightly acid con-
dition so as a preventative the home
baker may add one to two tablespoons
of ordinary vinegar to each four cups
of flour used.
To prevent recurrence of the
disease, all equipment should be
thoroughly cleaned with hypochor-
ite solution, even cupboard shelves,
ETC., as the bacteria may be in lodg-
ing on the rim of cup or around
the handle of a spoon, and will ruin
the next mixing of bread. If bread
boxes, flour bins, ETC., are kept clean
and all flour is not stored near
vegetables, the trouble may be cor
rected in a short time.
Hypochlorite solution for the
cleansing water may be purchased
under various trade names such as
ChloroX, Zonite and others.

Chiefs Checking
Truck Accidents
State Highway Department
Also Investigating Over
loading Practices.

A state investigation of all heavy
hauling practices on Minnesota high
ways, including complete check-up
of SO tank truck accidents occurring
prior to June, is being undertaken
by the State Highway department
Commissioner M. j. Hoffman revealed
this week that heavy gasoline trucks
have been involved in II traffic
accidents, causing two deaths and
Is non-fatal injuries, since the first
of the year, and that evidence has
been obtained of deliberate overload
ing on the part of some heavy COM
mercial haulers.
Illegal Speed Not Factor.
Although 36 driver violations were
reported in the tank truck accidents,
illegal speed apparently was not a
dominant factor in the unusual num-
Der of haulers of inflamables to be-
come involved in the mishaps, Com
missioner Hoffman said. Sixteen
were reported travelling at speeds
too great for safety under conditions,
but none as exceeding posted speed
limits.
Patrol Chief Eldon Rowe and Traf-
fic Engineer w. F. Rosenwald, in in
vestigating the SO tank truck acci-
dents occurring prior to June, stated
that initial indications are that most
of the mishaps were attributable in
part either to the great weight of
load and vehicle or to driver laXity.
Virtually all drivers were exper-
fenced, only four vehicles showed
mechanical defects such as faulty
lights or brakes, a majority of the
accidents occurred in daylight on
paved or blacktop roads, and 40 of
them occurred in municipalities, yet
48 of the SO mishaps were collisions
with other vehicles, five involved
pedestrians.

Safe Storage Aided
By Proper Handling

Safe storage of grain at threshing
and binning time is possible if proper
handling methods are used, according
to County Agent Clyde P. Shum-
way who gives the following rec
concentrations:
Clean thoroughly all storage bins.
If possible, harvest grain only when
it is mature and dry. Bin separately,
for special attention later, grain with
a moisture content from the lower
and weedier parts of the field.
Eliminate as much broken grain
foreign material before filling the
bins. If additional cleaning of grain
is necessary, clean it week or 10
days after binning. Control rats and
mice because insects and mold often
follow rodent damage.

international News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Goethe, the most famous of all
German writers, once said-in his
book, italian Journey"-that "un-
less you have picture of Sicily in
your mind, you will fail to under
stand Italy; Sicily is the key to it
ALL"
And at the present moment, Sicily
in a far different sense-"is the
key to it ALL" for on the military
operations in progress there, may
hinge the outcome of the United Ma
tons invasion of Axis continental
Europe. So far, the key has been
turning very well, very smoothly,
and if it SO keeps on, it may open
the door to all of that Europe from
which Hitler and Mussolini-and the
political systems they have created
will be eliminated.
During a campaign of about
ten or eleven days duration, the
American forces, marching up
the southwestern coast of Sicily,
are getting ever closer and closer
to Marsala and Palermo, while
the British Eighth Army,
crowned with laurels of its Afri-
can desert war, is approaching
MeSSina.
Of course, the Italian and German
troops defending the island, are fight
ing hard but, apparently, not quite as
effectively as it had been predicted
they would. Anyhow, they have
failed to stop the onrushing Amer
leans and Britons.
Toward New Goals.
Just now, the main purpose is to
occupy all of Sicily and use that
island as base of operations against
Italy proper-for here lies the road
that leads on-northward into Ger
many. This weeks bombardments
of Naples and Rome indicate the
trend.
And there are ever SO many
hints that parallel with a march
through an Italy, not too heavily

North Pine Area
I arm Buildings
Leveled BY Wind
Moose Lake Vicinity Also
Hard Hit by Storm Early
Last Week.

Damage to farm buildings in Birch
Creek township by the storm that
swept through that and the Moose
Lake area late Tuesday afternoon
of last week was extensive, the wind
reaching cyclonic proportions before
it subsidized.
Among the large barns that were
demolished were those on the Stoke,
Lehet and Ernest Anderson farms,
and the barn on the Axel Dahl place
was overturned by the force of the
wind. Damage reported from the
Joseph Komar place was completely
wrecked machine shed, the garage
on the Walter Carlson place was
upset, and the silo on the Breck-
heimer farm destroyed. Debris from
the KOmar barn was scattered for
half a mile over the fields and the
road.
Services Disrupted.
Damage to trees was extensive,
many of the falling trees and
branches disrupting telephone and
power service in that area.
Two witnesses reported seeing the
storm clouds gather, one cloud be-
coming darker and larger, finally TAX
ing the funnel shape of a tornado.
They report that it was a miracle
that no one was hurt.
Further to the north, in Carlton
county, the brief storm also did con-
siderable damage near Moose Lake,
destruction on the Ernie Schmidt
farm southwest of that village being
especially severe.

Seabees Wanted By
Recruiting Offices

Officials in charge of navy recruit
ing stations say that many men sub
ject to draft are passing up a Won
derful opportunity for better rank
and pay than ordinarily obtained be-
cause they fail to investigate the Navy
SeabeeS.
Men especially needed are those
within the II to 5012 age group, with
construction skills, or cooking, res
taurant or meat-cutting experience.
They are asked to call at a recruiting
station well in advance of induction
to learn the facts.

defended, United Nations armies
may move from Asia Minor up
through the B a l k states
nOrthWeStWard into Germany.

This is no definitely announced
plan, but it is one that evidently is
being subjected to diligent expert
consideration, and if and when it is
being carried out, it will probably be
co-ordinated with a Russian west
ward drive-into Germany.
For the Nazis have been doing
badly on the Russian front lately;
their bombastically heralded summer
offensive appears to have been
checked, and the Soviets are engaged
in counter-offensive which may
mean that in due time the Nazis will
be forced back to where they came
from, that is-Germany.
AS far as the United Nations
are concerned, all roads lead to
Germany; there is less doubt than
ever that this goal will be
reached.
But it won't be in a jiffy. Opera
tions on scale vaster than any
ever known, take their time, and
unless there is unconditional sur
render on the part of both Italy and
Germany before there is military
conquest, prospects are that fighting
will be more terrific than any hither-
to recorded.
Japanese Background.
There is always Japan to think
about, too, and now, near the end
of July, it seems pretty definite that
the United Nations high commands
have decided to get rid of Germany
and Italy before they administer the
death blow to japanese imperialism
and militarism.
1t is very encouraging to note
the fact that since Japan began
her sudden onrush into other
Asiatic territories and Southwest
Pacific islands, she has met moth
ing but defeat.

Sing FavOrite Selections.
Such a service would not have
been complete without few words
from G. E. Hendricks, who was,
without doubt, the person most ms
trumental in Martins conversion.
The male quartette, of which Mar
tin was member for several years,
sang two of his favorite selections:
That Beautiful Land" and "God's
Loving Hand" A quartette of young
men from the Sandstone Bible church
