in this area are prepared and ready
to take part in the Semi-SurpriSe
blackout of the entire state tomor-
row night some time between the
hours of p. m. and II p. m. The

Law Supplements
Now Available

Minnesotas new and amended
laws and IL resolutions, as passed
by the 53rd legislature which ad-
journed very late" Wednesday night,
April 81, are being distributed this
week by the newspapers of the state.
More than a quarter of million
copies of the 72-page publication,
the largest law supplement to date
were printed by the ST. Paul Dis
patch-Pioneer Press which had the
contract.
Because of the acute shortage of
all materials, especially paper and
baling wire, and the scarcity of all
kinds of help from composing room
to truck operators, the number of
supplements is curtailed this year te
the point where it will not be pos
sible for every newspaper to pro-
vide one for every subscriber.
A number of the supplements are
available at the Askov American
office and anyone desiring one may
have it for the asking. There is ne
charge.

AskOv Plans Farm
Help Committee

Emergency farm help committees
to aid farmers in obtaining all avail
able local help are still being set up
in the various trade centers in Pine
county, according to County Agent
Clyde P. Shumway, with few local
tiles still to be organized.
Askov has picked no committee
as yet but it is expected that the
local Commercial club will aid in
starting one, and will take up this
matter at its next meeting Monday
evening. In the meantime anyone
here wishing to work on farm by
the hour, day or month, or anyone
wishing to hire farm help, may reg
lister at the American office until a
permanent committee is selected.
Mr.. Shumway stated that at the
peak of the work season it may be
necessary to get additional help from
other localities in the county to assist
with rush work, or to help them in
turn. The thing to do now, he added,
is to get the committees picked and
take an inventory of the available
help to have everything in readi-
ness when needed.

Nazis likewise are stalled, the Soviets
holding them at bay so effectively
that they seem to be unable to make
a single move. But, on the other
hand, they are not retreating.
Only in the Caucasus region
has there been some positive
change, for here the Russians
have moved SO close to the port
of NOvOrossiisk that they have
been able to occupy some of the
mountain peaks around the city,
and they have also made pro-

Bombs Bursting in Air"
Josef Stain, often impatient al
what he has considered the delay
in the other United Nations open
ing their so-called Second Front
against Hitler, begins now to under
stand that what goes on in Europe
and North Africa really is the pre-
liminary stage of that general often

Russian people he points out that
the bombardments which are taking
place all over Germany and in many
Nazi-occupied countries, are of the
greatest Importance to the defense
of Russia. For each bombing re-
duces the quantity of arms and NUM-
tons which Hitler has earmarked for
use on the Russian front.

Distribution OF
NewRationBoo
Is Set For June
To Begin Mailing of APP
plicatiOn Forms Late This
Month.

War ration book 3, replacement
book containing both unit" stamps
already familiar under the sugar,
coffee and shoe programs - and
point" stamps, such as housewives
have been using to buy canned goods,
meats and fats, eAsill be mailed to
more than 12O,OOo,0OO individuals be-
ginning late in June and ending July
81, the OPA has announced.
The mailing of a simple postcard
application, under a plan worked
out by Price Administrator Prentiss
M. Brown and Postmaster General
Frank c. Walker, will bring book
to everyone There will be no
schoolhouse registration, such as
featured the issuance of the first two
ration books.
Big Mailing Job.
The application forms, good for
an individual or for an entire fam
lily, will be dropped in every mail
box by postmen between May 20 and
June S. They must be mailed back
to OPA mail centers between June l
and June 10.
Distribution of the application
cards and war ration book adds up
to the biggest single job ever ham
died by the Post Office.
There are eight pages in the new
ration book. Four contain a single
alphabet of brown stamps in the
usual 8, S, 2, and l values. The
center four pages hold 48 unit stamps
with each page identified by units
of armament-planes, guns, tanks
and aircraft carriers.
Complete Book.
The unit stamps will be used for
coffee, sugar and shoes when book
/ runs out in the fall. The point
stamps provide a safeguard against
the possibility that the red stamps
in book 2, now being used for meats
and fats rationing, will run out be-
fore the issuance of Book No. f. This
latter book is now in drafting stage
and will contain red and blue point
stamps, much the same as those in
book 2, and will be used for the same
programs.
At the present rate of spending, "
the red stamps in book 2 will be
exhausted around October l, and the
blue stamps by the end of that month.
Present plans call for the distribu-
ton of book during August or Sep
TENDER.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

A half year ago American troops
invaded North Africa, and on that
occasion it was limited very strongly
that from now on everything would
be smooth sailing as far as driving
the Axis forces out of that continent
was concerned. But six months have
taught the world the lesson that the
closer you approach the solution of
certain problems, the more difficult
it becomes. So here, too.
Fighting in North Africa
more specifically in Tunisia-
still goes on, and while it SEEM
ingly grows fiercer and the
fiercer, the situation has UNDER
gone no very important change
for weeks.
It is possible that climax soon
may be at hand, for although devel-
opments are slow, they do, in general,
favor the American and the British
armies which are making slow pro-
gress in the direction of Tunis and
Bizerte A few days ago the Amer
leans took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to do some fighting of the kind
which military experts call brilliant,
for they captured hills of consider
able strategic importance, and as one
result, the fall of Bizerte has come
that much closer.
But the men in the know keep
on warning an impatient public: Do
not expect miracles; do not expect
them Immediately; remember the enc
my is still strong-and that the roads
are in an awful shape!
Closer to Novorossiisk.
Along the Russian front the stu
alton is not wholly unlike that in
Tunisia, for here have been weeks
of fighting which brought on no very
important results. In the north CEN
trail sector the Russians are still max
ing desperate attempts to reach and
recapture Smolensk, but official bull
letins fail to indicate that they have
come closer for weeks. In the

Chilli ann mnthrr
By Eugene Field.

o Mother my-love if you'll give me your hand,
And go where l ask you to wander,
l will lead you away to beautiful land
The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder.
Well walk in a sweet-posie garden out there
Where moonlight and starlight streaming
And the flowers and birds filling the air
With fragrance and music of dreaming
There'l be no little tired-out boy to undress,
No questions to perpex you;
There'l be no little bruises bumps to caress
Nor patching of stockings to vex you.
For I'll rock you away silver-dew stream,
And sing you asleep when you're weary,
And shall know of our beautiful dream
But you and your little deare.
And when l am tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed often,
And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my stead
song which dreaming shall soften.
So Mother-my-love, let take your dear hand
And away through the starlight we'll wander
Away through the mist to the beautiful land
The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder
