GOING TO TOWN

Editor Askov American:
Not very long ago we farmers went
to town, coming home without much
encouragement. Labor was unem-
ployed and lacked buying power,
which was called .overproduction. y
Prices of farm commodities went
below cost of production. In the
grain areas corn was burned in the
stoves, in the dairy areas cows were
eating the managers for lack of grain.
Instead of earning money, farm
ers were devouring their occupation,
borrowing money on real and per-
sonal property which ended for many
in total loss of all their possessions
and landed the farmer in the already
too many unemployed labor ranks.
The situation is reversed now;
plenty work and money. Lots of
that money is becoming idle for lack
and restriction on commodities buy
ing and especially of articles miss
ing in the luxury lines. Spending
money becomes real problem which
leaves but one alternative, to buy
war bonds.
If we now could abolish the in
terest system and give capitalism a
we'll earned CD rest, time to de-
YOUR the principal (their occupation)
like we farmers were compelled to
do, then we could start to sell and
buy war bonds free of interest, be-
come real patriots, conscientious OBJ
jectors to making money out of mis-
cry and not fool ourselves by re-
ceiving interest paid by ourselves on
money loaned and borrowed by our
selves, to ourselves, for ourselves.

First Payment On
Victory Tax Due

Blanks are being mailed this week
from the office of the Collector OF
Internal Revenue, st. Paul, to the
various employers in Minnesota for
first quarter returns under the new
victory tax plan. Two copies of the
form, vi, is being mailed in each
case, the one to be returned to the
collectors office and the other to
be retained in the employers files.
Forms will be mailed to employers
who are now on the Collectors en-
ployment tax mailing list and other
lists especially prepared for the vic
tory tax. 1t is possible that the
names of some employers, such as
state, county or municipal agencies,
school districts, private schools,
churches, hospitals, fraternal organ
izations, clubs and societies have
been inadvertently omitted from this
mailing list.
Failure to receive blank forms,
however, does not excuse the en-
ployer from liability to penalties pro-
vided by law for failure to file re-
turns on time, and any employer
who does not receive blank forms
on or before April 10, should request

WAR NEWS
BY Mrs. ChaS. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman

Our government is trying hard tC
price control, wage control, taxation
longer hours of production and ra-
tioning. It's up to US Americans tC
help hold that line. The danger Of
initiation is greater now than it was
during the last war.
In the last war we were obliged
to devote only slightly more than q
quarter of our output to war, while
today we are already putting nearly
half of our output into our war ef-
fort Flour purchases for the Rus
sian army in January were about
twice as large as the annual flour
exports to Europe in pre-war years
In war, soap really becomes by
product of glycerine. Nitroglycerine
is much too violent to trust in a
gun. But it is mixed with some types
of smokeless powder dough" to give
added punch to gunpowder. This
dough" is cotton linters soaked in
nitric acid to make smokeless powder.
Plastics made of soybean meal
offer great possibilities for expand
ing uses of soybeans. Plastics are
growing increasingly important be-
cause they are freeing critical metals
for other uses. Soybeans can even
be made into a fiber cloth at half
the cost of sleeps wool. Civilians
may find themselves clothed in soy
bean fiber. They will discover it
is soft, has a warm feel and high
degree of resiliency.
The machinery rationing commit
tee wishes to announce that wire
fencing is no longer rationed and
purchase certificates are no longer
required to buy it.

off trousers. Now that mems cloth
ing manufacturers have readjusted
themselves to this state of affairs,
it is reported that the order for the
cuffs to be put back on is coming
soon. Then, Secretary Wickard told
us there would be no food shortage;
now we are told we must tighten
our belts. Then there was the case
of slicing bread-all the bread slicers
were ordered out of use; now they
are ordered back in use again, be-
cause sliced bread wrapped in wax
paper is more economical. 1t is this
sort of confusion, contradiction and
constant change which makes it so
difficult for the American people to
have confidence in the Administra-
ton and its management of the war.

ANXIOUS TO DO JOB
ASkoV American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Chester Davis, the original AAA
brain truster, has been appointed the
new food administrator. Farmer
minded conservative Claude Wickard
secretary of Agriculture, the hard
headed farmers friend, has been
pushed into the background, in other
words made the goat for the sins
of other ABC organizations. Time
will undoubtedly prove that the
farmers will not benefit from this
transfer of responsibilities!
Our farmers are girding for the
battle for more food and greater
production of all farm products than
ever before, in the face of the great
est shortage of farm machinery and
help on the farms than ever before
faced in our nation.
Our farmers are not talking strikes
loafing on the job or playing the
game of absenteeism. All they ask
is fair play, fair pay and a square
deal" They may not get this, but
just the same boys and girls they
are true blue Americans and will
produce the wherewith which feed
miners, defense workers and soldiers
including all slackers and loafers, re-
CARELESS where they may be, or
whatever they are doing!
May God give them strength to
carry through. You may rest assured
that it will not be their fault if all
the crops should not be harvested
They will do what they can and take
what they get, for it is up to them
to win the war as well as the peace.
If this is not loyalty and patriot
ism, call it what you may, it is the
spirit which will win the war and
bring our soldiers and sailors home
again quicker than anything else be-
fore us today!
More power to them and the inn
portant part they are about to play
in the winning of the war-and what
is more, they are proud, willing and
anxious to do their job with less
fanfare than .other--groups in the
land!

Macarthur has been proved right.
for few days ago impressive Jap
anese air forces suddenly appeared
over the Solomon Islands, and the
Americans promptly proceeded to
shoot down sixteen of them; there
also was a fleet of vessels of an
unSpecifed nature, and American
guns attacked six of them, results
being unknown.
Aleutian Attacks.
In the extreme northern end of the
Pacific Japanese positions on the
island of Kiska in the Aleutian group
have again been attacked by Amer
lean bombers, and American sub
marines sank number of Japanese
ships. It is quite evident that the
japanese forces on Kiska must be
considerable, for it has not yet been
possible to dislodge them. Appar-
emily the enemy wants to retain
Kiska in order to prevent its use
as a basis of operations for Amer
lean bombers headed for Tokyo and
Yokohama, for it is evident from the
efforts they expend on keeping the
island that they consider it a posi-
ton of great Importance.
April Ninth.
On Friday of this week it will be
three years since the Nazis invaded
and occupied Denmark and Norway
That was on the ninth of April, 1910.
But from all reports that come
out from those two small coun-
tries it becomes very clear that
the NaziS have not succeeded in
crushing the spirit of their peo-
pie. AS a matter of fact, there
is deeper hatred now than ever
before, there is a greater deter
minati0n to resist the enemy than
formerly, and there is greater
prospect that resistance will sue
coed.
AS yet, we do not know the full
story of the terrors which the Nazis
have inflicted on two of the most
peaceful nations on earth. There
will be a story to tell, some day, a
story of how a national soul grows
and expands under pressure.
During the last few days many
arrests have been made in Denmark
where saboteurs, aided, it is said,
by British parachutists, have been
doing everything possible to harasS
the German occupation authorities.
And it's the same in Norway where.
however, the Nazis have used sterner,
more brutal, methods than in the
neighboring country. For that mat
ter, resistance is becoming more and
more energetic in all European coun-
tries occupied by Hitler, and there
are signs that it is becoming organ
lied so that when the right moment
comes, there will be synchronized
rising of all oppressed nations against
their foreign dictators.
