International News Review

clared war against her former ally,
Germany. 1t may be more than a
mere matter of formality, especially
with reference to the Italians in the
Balkan states, but since the Italian
army as such can hardly be said to
exist now - large part of it being
in American and British prison
camps, the biggest number of the SOL
diers under Nazi control north of
Rome - there cannot be much active
Italian fighting expected. The effect
is, as far as one can judge right now,
largely psychological, and the pur-
pose of the declaration may have been
an attempt to win fair terms at the
coming peace conference. The atti-
tude of the United Nations is re-
flected in the official Roosevelt
Churchill statement that the war
declaration does not make Italy a
member of the group.
Russian War.

though the movement has to be; and
there can be no doubt whatsoever
that the Russians are moving ever
closer to the same destination-from
another direction.
Moscow bulletins constitute
one unbrOken string of victory
announcements.
Of course, all the victories cannot
possibly be of supreme importance,
but the main and the significant fact
is that they are never interrupted
by any Nazi victory announcement
In White Russia, the Soviet opera
tions appear to have been slowed up
to some extent, for it was reported
more than ten days ago that the Rus
ian forces were just about to enter
Gomel. Down in Ukraine, it was also
said that the Soviet armies We're
about to march into Kiev. These

Fund Collections
Seventeen Agencies Work
ing Together in United
Campaign.

A united statewide campaign for
the II agencies of the Minnesota
War Service fund and local home
front welfare and character build
ing agencies is under way this week
as the state seeks 81, 100000, its share
of the National War Fund drive.
Many To Benefit.
Opening Monday, October 18, and
continuing through October 80, the
funds raised are to be used for the
following purposes:
Support for the USO, the home
away from home for the fighting
men of this nation. Comforts for the
"barbed wire legion" of prisoners of
war. Food for starving Greece, med
ical supplies for Russia, and aid to
stricken China. Assistance for hun
dreds of thousands of homeless ref
ugees. Other miscellaneous needs not
included in the above classifications.
Challeen County Chairman
Members of the Pine county COM
mittee are William Challeen of Pine
City, chairman, and Guy Thorne of
Sandstone and Leonard Machart of
Pine City. Local chairmen for north
Pine communities and the quotas are
as follows:
Askov, Otto A. Jensen, $40; Bruno,
w. M. Englund, $275; Denham, M. H.
Mealy, $3.50; Kerrick, Milton F.
Beckstrom, $3.50; Rutledge, Mrs. R.
J. Isaccson, $500; Sturgeon Lake,
Glenn Olson, $3.50; and Willow River,
Mrs. Herb Johnson, $3.50.
Combination Drives.
Large cities of the state are COM
bining the war service fund drive
with their annual community chest
fund or similar campaigns to simplify
the task of collecting for the various
funds, and also to cut collection ex-
.penses. War fund quotas in most of
the rural state areas would figure
out to about $3.50 per family on an
average but this will be less in Pine
county according to the quotas set.

War Ration Books

Under arrangements completed
with the post office department, find
ers of lost ration books may now re-
turn them by depositing them in the
mails without wrapper or postage,
P. A. Burke, district director, at
Duluth, announced today. The post
office will deliver the books to the
person whose name and address ap-
pear on the cover, collecting five
cent postage-due charge.
Mr.. Burke said this procedure will
raise the proportion of lost books
returned to their owners, and that
he believes the owner will be glad
to pay the postage charge for the
sake of recovering the books.
In the event that the addressee
cannot be located, the post office will
deliver the books to the nearest local
War Price and Rationing board.

willow Pioneer
Settler Claimed
By Death Friday
Herman Nortrup Is Laid
To Rest in Family Lot in
Duluth.

Death Friday morning of last week
claimed another of Willow Rivers
pioneer residents, Herman Nortrup,
78, who passed away at the Moose
Lake community hospital following
weeks illness. He joins in death his
wife who died at the home of
daughter in Duluth January 19 of
this year.
The funeral services were held
from the family home mile west
of Willow River at II o'clock Mon
day morning and interment was made
in the family lot of Park Hill ceme-
terry, Duluth.
Native of Germany.
MIR. Nortrup was born in Hanover,
Germany, November 4, 1864, and
was married in that country to Cath
crime Anna Tandwehr in 1888. The
family came to the United States in
March, 1897, and lived for a short
time at Clara City, this state, before
locating on a farm near Willow
River. Four years later they moved
to Everett, Wash, but soon returned
to their former home in Pine county.
They have since made this their
home.
Interest in Community.
Both Mr. and Mrs Nortrup took an
active interest in their home COM
munity and the former served on the
Willow River, District No. 21, school
board as clerk for many years.
Survivors are two children, August
of Arthyde and Anna, Mrs. Walter
Gladson, of Duluth. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nortrup had also taken into their
home two nieces, Miss Anna Marie
Nortrup of Virginia and Mrs. Edward
Domning of Bruno. There are four
grandchildren.
Sympathy is extended by friends to
the bereaved relatives.

By Dairy Group
Special Meeting of Dairy
Breeders Association Set
For November l.

Election of directors on the board
of the Pine County Dairy Breeders
Association in annual meeting at
Sandstone Saturday, October 9 re-
suited in Ben Erickson of Sandstone
being reelected for a term of three
years and A. M. Price of Hinckley,
and Werner Clausen of Askov elect
ed new members. The latter two re-
place Nick Hartland and Hugo john
son.
At directors organizational meet
ing following the annual meeting
Mr.. Price was elected chairman of
the board.
Associations Discussed.
Chief speaker at the meeting was
VIM. bankers, economist from the
University Farm, who discussed a
recent study of the business of arti-
ficial breeding associations in Mime
sofa.
The Minnesota Artificial Breeding
Association, the Central Association
of which the Pine county group is a
member, is being reorganized. The
directors of the Pine County Associa-
ton are calling special meeting of
all members Monday, November /,
at Sandstone to vote on necessary
changes in constitution and bylaws.
Good Rate.
Recent statistics reported on by
Felix Schmiesing, inseminator from
Askov, indicate that about rs per
cent of the Holstein cows bred settle
on the first two services. According
to H. R. Searles, dairy expert from
University Farm, this is as good a
rate as can be expected even from
natural breeding methods. Settling
rates for Guernseys were not quite
so high as for Holsteins. This seems
to be the case in associations all over
the United States, according to H. P.
Searles.
A number of new members will
be needed in both the north and
south units of the Pine County As
sociation, if operation is to continue
on an economic basis. Dairymen in
terested in joining should contact
either of the inseminators or their
nearest board member during the
next few weeks if they wish services
this fall and winter.

Eight Schools To
Compete In Meet
Cross Country Race AT
Askov Tuesday Draw S
Much Interest.

Eight schools have been entered to
date in the district 25 cross country
race to be held at Askov next Tues
day afternoon, and the event, the
first of its kind in this area, is ex-
pected to draw considerable interest
Schools which will enter runners
are Askov, Hinckley, North Branch
Moose Lake, Pine City, Sandstone
Willow River and Taylors Falls. Each
school is allowed to certify 10 men
and five from each will be allowed
to run. The course begins at the
Askov church corner and runs
through the Ferndale Nursery for a
distance of mile and a half, and
finishes up at the starting point,
Nine Askovites Entered.
Runners representing Askov will
be Byron Petersen, Werner Mikkelsen,
Raymond Olesen, Otto Jensen, Hans
Abrahamsen, Floyd Olesen, Leland
Blade, Bobby johnson and Folmer
Frederiksen. In the event the local
squad shows up well in the race they
may be given the treat of running
in the state meet and attending the
sota-Northwestern foot b III
game as guests of the University.
In commenting on the race one
Twin Cities sports writer suggested
that the idea could well be adopted
by other districts in the state, reviv-
ing an excellent sport which has
fallen into discard in recent years in
favor of spectator games.

Drive For Scrap
On; October u
amed'ZeroDay'
Brook Park, Finlayson and
AskOv Complete Plans
For Task.

Wednesday, October 81 has been
set as Zero Day" for the entire
state of Minnesota in the fall iron
and steel scrap drive. On that day
special efforts will be made to round
up the last of all scrap iron remain
ing or available in the home and on
the farms of the state as we'll as in
the factories and business places.
However, the emphasis is on the
farm scrap and to this end every
available effort is being made to
have each farm home contacted per-
sonally to make sure that all scrap
iron and steel, for which there is no
further use on the farm, is turned in
on the drive.
Transportation Problem.
One of the big problems in previous
drives has been that of transportation
but some trucks, especially those of
the state and county will be made
available for hauling some of the
material. Farmers living along coun-
ty or state roads may have their
scrap piled by their mail boxes where
it would be easily accessible. Large
amounts could be picked up in the
yards or wherever piled.
Committees will also try to secure
the use of private trucks if necessary.
Special gas allotments will be al
lowed for trucks used in hauling
scrap.
To Close Brook Park Stores.
The Brook Park village council has
voted to close all business establish
ments there so that the merchants
might assist in the drive October "a
The Finlayson Commercial club again
will sponsor another scrap drive the
same time and number of trucks
will call on every farm in the trade
territory there that day. The club
urges the farmers to have the scrap
piled up to make it possible for the
trucks to be loaded in hurry.
Survey at Askov.
At Askov it has been decided to
conduct farm-to-farm survey be-
tween now and the Zero day" to
find out how much scrap is available
and if it can be hauled in, or must be
called for by truck. Local committee
workers have been appointed and
they will call on the farmers in their
vicinity within the next few days
Every piece of scrap, large or small
is wanted, is needed, and should be
turned in to aid the fighting forces.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

It is quite apparent that as the
war between the Germans in Italy,
on one side, and the Americans and
the British, on the other, goes on,
it increases in fury for the dual rea-
son that the Nazis realize the i'm
portance of the outcome, and that
the Allies are firmly determined to
force the enemy out of the country.
The battle for Italy is, in other
words, developing into one of the
major operations of the whole
war, and very great deal may
hinge on the result.
For, if the Allies succeed, as they
have every reason in the world to
believe that they will, in driving the
Nazis all the way up through the
peninsula to the very doors of Aus
tria, Hitler will know that his war
is definitely lost, for, in that case,
the doors into Germany itself will
be open. If, on the other hand, the
Germans succeed in stopping the
Americans and the British, the Allied
cause will have received setback
so serious that it is likely to jeopar-
die victory.
There is, however, in the mind of
no one familiar with the situation,
and doubt whatsoever about final
Allied victory, but it is admitted that
Nazi resistance is becoming firmer
and firmer. Just now, the Allies are
still headed for Rome; they have
crossed the Volturno river, and they
are about to effect a merger of the
American and the British armies.
But Rome is a hundred miles away
yet, and there is a lot of territory
north of Rome to cover before the
Nazis can be forced to take their
last stand with their backs against the
Alps.
