Prices Favor Strong Side; (;
All Hogs on l5c Higher
Level Monday.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, February 16,
1943: (USDA): Demand for all
classes of slaughter cattle continued
broad on the opening week at South
st. Paul and prices favored the
strong side. Activity on steers slowed
down slightly on the Tuesday ses-
sion, but a considerable part of this
sluggishness was due to higher ask
ing prices. Taking both DAYS into
consideration, values compar d
strong to a shade higher than the
close of last week. .aaT tuesdays mar
ket on cows continued in an active
fashion. Choice light and medium
weight steers topped at $1,000, and
bulk medium and good kinds moved
at $500 to $500. Odd choice heif-
ers reached $500. Most good cows
brought $1,000 to $500, few good
young heifery cows reaching $3.50.
Common and medium grades were
taken at $1,000 to $11.50. Gamers
and cutters going at $500 to $9.75.

ers were steady to so cents lower
for two days. On Tuesday top choice
kinds had practical top of $3.50,
bulk good and hoiee2$13.00 to $500.
Some choice feeder steers made
$14.25. Prices were strong.
Hogs Up 15c.
| All hogs sold on a Is cent higher
level on Monday. Butchers on the
following day were steady to 10
cents lower with the top remaining
at $15.25 Sows showed further
strength on Tuesday, gains for the
week to date measuring from 35 to
40 cents. Good and choice barrows
and gifts scaling from ITO to 220
pounds topped at $15.25, and 230 to
800 pounds and above at $500 to
$500. Good sows realized mainly
SLABS to $14.9O. Feeder pigs grad
ing good and choice sold late at
$500 to $1525 or Is cents or more
higher as compared with last Friday.
All classes in the sheep and lamb
division were about steady. Good

New School Plan
Would Scrap All
Antiquated Laws
Classroom Unit Allowance
of $15,2OO at Askov Pos.
sible Under Proposal.

Under the Minnesota basic school
aid plan proposed by the interim
committee on education, authorized
and set up by the 1941 state legisla-
ture, Askov school district No. II
would be entitled to a classroom unit
allowance of $15,200 according to
present average daily attendance
The classroom unit allowance is one
of the chief points in the proposed
plan, based on scrapping all present
state aid laws entirely and starting
anew.
illustrates Plan.
Further figures have been pre-
pared by Superintendent Kenneth E
Anderson of District No. II to illus
trate how the new plan would affect
the district. They follow:
Under the present system classi-
fication aid (graded elementary and
six year high) of 5000, prorated at
II per cent amounts to $693; trans
portation aid after proration is
S2,845.16; gross supplemental aid after
proration is $5,869.63 and high school
tuition, payable in full, amounts to
$252. The general total of all aids
would be S9,659.79.
Expenditures in District II for
1941 were S20,855.68 Under the
proposed plan S15,200 of this amount
would have been raised by the class
room unit allowance (10-mill levy
miscellaneous receipts, $401.68, and
the balance of $5,254 would be raised
by 40.6-mill local levy in addition
to the 10 mills above. Thus the
total levy under the new plan would
be sos mills. Under the present plan
the levy is 70 mills for agricultural
land, 80 mills for non-agricultural
land and 80 mills on personal prop
erty
Based on Attendance.
Superintendent Anderson's report
lists $500 of the classroom unit al
lowance under elementary and $9, SOC
under secondary. The allowance is
based on the average daily attend
ance.
While the interim committee was
permitted wide latitude in the study
of state educational problems it be-
lieves that it could best serve the
people of the state by limiting itself
to a study of the financial problem
involved in establishing and main
tanning public schools offering equal
educational opportunity too all oi
the boys and girls in Minnesota
Starting anew with state aid laws
seemed the only feasible method.
Present Laws Complex.
The present aid laws have become
complex, cumbersome and in some
instances perhaps, unfair. The plan
is submitted without definite rec
ommendation for enactment of its
principles into law at this session
The committee believes that such en-
actment can and should come only
as result of popular demand from
the majority of the people affected
If the plan has merit, such demand
may be forthcoming; in which case
a bill can be prepared and submitted
for study, debate and possible pas
sage. Such procedure will place
this complex and important prob
lem squarely before the people where
it should and must go before there
is any final decision on the plan.

responsible financially for a founda.

Askov American., 1943-02-18
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Out of the war news of the past
few days one most important fact
emerges, and that is that for the
first time the actual war aims of the
United Nations have been clearly
outlined; there have been many state
ments of that kind, but most of them
vague or indefnite-such as, for in
stance, the Atlantic Charter. But
now we really have been told what
we are fighting for.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
reported to the House of Commons
on the results of the CasabIanca
conferences between him and the
President of the United States, and
he emphasized that the goal of their
efforts will be to make the enemy
bleed and burn, and to impose upon
him terms of absolutely uncondi-
tional surrender.
More Specific.
More specific was Mr.. Roosevelt,
broadcasting last week; while he,
too, stressed the unconditional sur
render demand decided upon at Casa
blanca, he added that one of the main
objectives of the war is to iberate
the nations which have been con-
quered and occupied by the Axis
powers.
This has been understood, but
has not until now been stated in
such umistakable terms, and it
sent a surge of hope through the
peoples of occupied Europe as
we'll as of occupied Asia.
Mr.. Roosevelt also very plainly
said that a United Nations invasion
of Europe has been planned for this
year, and that it will begin at many
places simultaneously.
Likewise, an offensive would be-
gin against the japanese in Asiatic
and Pacific Ocean territories which
they have occupied, and the pledge
was given that neither Berlin nor
Rome nor Tokyo would be spared
by the forces of the United Nations.

Askov Creamery
Elects Four New
Board Members
Alvin J. Jensen is Chosen
President; Net Income
in 1912 Nearly $l3, 600,

Alvin j. Jensen, newly elected
member of the board of directors
of the Askov Creamery Association,
was chosen as it's president at an
organizational meeting of that body
Immediately following the annual
meeting Tuesday afternoon in the
Askov D. B. S. hall.
Chris Ingemansen will again serve
as vice president of the board and
Hans NJ Nielsen was elected secre-
tary-treasurer. The other members
of the board are John Meier, Hans
Abrahamsen, Almer E. Ecklund and
Carl K. Larsen, the first three named
being new members. Wayne Lawson
is the operator.
Changes Approved.
Minutes of the last annual meet
ing and of board meetings during the
past year were read and the audi
tors annual statement read and dis
cussed. Several changes in the arti-
cles of incorporation were also voted
upon and approved. There was also
some discussion on the prices paid
the past year for butterfat and skim
milk.
Butter manufactured during 1912
amounted to 438,563 pounds, the
highest since 1885. For butterfat,
the patrons received the sum of
S159, 9,979.97, the highest paid out here
since the peak years of 1926 to 1929.
The average price paid patrons for
butterfat in 1912 was 44.46c.
Net Earnings Nearly $4,000.
Net earnings from all operations
the past year was 2,904.5O and from
this sum $191.60 was deducted for
4 per cent interest on capital stock.
The balance of $12,712.90 was set
in the patrons equity reserve fund,
milk and butterfat department.
The skim milk department, in op-
Grafton since early last year, showed
net earnings of $6,37O.94, this figure
including refunds from Land O'Lakes
Creameries of $4,741.31 to be paid
by them in preferred stock.
Following the meeting lunch was
served by the Danish and English
Ladies' Aids.

Pine County Red
Gross Committee
Maps 1913 Drive
Month of March Set for
National Drive; County
Quota $6,O5O.

Officers of the various Pine county
chapters of the American Red Cross
met at Sandstone Tuesday afternoon
to discuss plans for the 1943 war
fund drive and the various methods
for raising the county quota of $6,O5O
v. E. Shafer of Finlayson, chair
man of the county committee, stated
that this years drive would begin on
March and close March 81. It was
left to the various committees to
arrange their own activities and
plans for reaching their quotas, but
all activities are to take place dur
ing the month of March.
Mr.. Shafer stated that it will re-
quire many willing workers and lib
eral donations to reach the quota set
for this county. However, it is
stressed that those in charge must
arrange for house to house cam
vass in each community so as to give
every individual an opportunity to
contribute according to ability, for
it is believed that every one will wish
to give what he can to this worthy
cause.
National Quota S125, ,e00, 900.

the United States is SIPS, 5,00O,0 900. The

1t was pointed out by Mr.. Shafer
that during 1943 there will not be
any special or regular membership

drive will be the one and only ma
tional drive for Red Cross war funds
this year. Donations of 81 or more
will entitle the donor to 1943 men,

Fire Destroys Barn

Fire caused by gas engine de-
stroyed the barn on the Machart
farm northeast of Pine City last
Friday evening. The Pine City fire
department was called but the flames
had gained such a start that the fire
men could not bring them under
control. Several head of livestock
and some hay were also lost in the

International News Review

1t was of interest to note that
i'm the Presidents speech there
was a clear declaration to the
effect that there is no intention
of exterminating enemy nations,
merely their leaders, their men
responsible for the world crime,
and the political principles
which have found expression in
Nazism, Fascism and what MIR.
Roosevelt called Japanisn.
What is of Importance in connec-
tion with the statements made by
Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt is
that at this time they are backed
up by strength which was not for
merly existent; it is now, for the
first time, possible, to back up words
with facts, with force, with action
Tunisian Front.
The invasion of Europe depends,
to considerable extent, upon the
time when the Nazis can be driven
out of North Africa, and here one
important step has been taken by
concentrating in one mans hands;
the supreme command of all United
Nations forces on that front That
man is the American Lieutenant
General Dwight D. Eisenhower who,
for the sake of rank and superior
position, has been promoted to a
full generalship.
1t is very likely that Eisenhower's
taking full charge of the Tunisian
war will mean that there will soon
be plenty of change in situation
which has grown rather stale of late
Of course, fighting is in progress
in Tunisia all the time, but so far
it has brought no real results, and,
to exemplify, the cities of Bizerte
and Tunis have not yet been taken
from the Nazis and the Fascists.
When those two cities fall, the way
to the realization of the Churchill
plan-"to drive the enemy into the
Mediterranean"-will be open. And
that means, also, that the way to the
