Pedersen- 1
In accordance with announcements
just received Miss Delpha Pedersen,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nels P.
Pedersen, and Arthur Christensen,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Clemmen Chris
tensen, were united in marriage July
26 and will make their home at Ar
cata, Calif., where both have been
employed several months.
Askov friends will join in send
ing congratulations and best wishes
to Mr. and Mrs. Christensen.
In Duluth Hospital.
Last Thursday A. P. Jensen was
taken to St. Luke’s hospital in Du
luth. Lately his health had been
failing which apparently was on ac
count of the injury received several
months ago. Sunday Mr. Jensen
wrote from the hospital, sending
greetings to friends and among other
things stated that approximately 15
X-ray pictures had been taken of
him which indicated there was an
unnatural pressure against the back
bone. He was scheduled to go on
the operating table Tuesday morning
to relieve this condition.
Mr. Jensen further stated that he
would likely be in the hospital two
or three weeks with nothing to do
but talk with visitors —so if you are
up that way drop in and say hello.
Time doesn’t pass very fast when
you are flat on your back in a hos
pital. I
Paul Nelson of Tujunga, Calif., is
here for a visit at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Manford Nelson.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson and
Mr. and Mrs. Hans Clausen spent
Saturday and Sunday in Minneapolis.
Carl Paulsen, who has been some
what ill lately, was taken to the hos
pital at Pine City last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lindegaard will
leave tomorrow morning on a three
day vacation trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Morgen
sen spent from Thursday until Sun
day vacationing in a cabin at Stur
geon lake.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Anderson of
Chicago, left Tuesday after visiting
a few days at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Olsen.
Rasmus Pedersen and Mrs. John O.
Christensen left yesterday morning
for Lake Norden, S. D., to attend a
funeral.
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Danielson spent
Saturday and Sunday on a pleasure
drive along the lake front in north
ern Wisconsin.
Harold Miller and the Misses Fyl
la and Elin Petersen of Minneapo
lis, were Sunday visitors at the home
of Miss Ingerd Strandskov.
Mrs. Peter Petersen of Hopkins, is
spending this week at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Soren Jensen.
The latter is recovering slowly from
her illness.
Walter Simonsen and family of
Minneapolis, came Friday for a visit
at the home of his brother, Anker
M. Simonsen. Miss Jeanette Simon
sen, who had been visiting in the
city, returned home with them.
Mr. and Mrs. Holger Fisher and
son, Mr. and Mrs. Thorvald Fisher
and son and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
Lowe and children, all from Minne
apolis, spent the week-end with rela
tives here.
Dr. Elmer M. Sorensen and family
of Red Oak, lowa, came last week
for a vacation visit at the home of
his mother, Mrs. Jens Nielsen, and
also at points in the northern part
of the state.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mortensen and
younger children left yesterday on
a vacation trip to several points in
the southern part of the state. Harry,
Jr., is taking care of his Co-op truck
business.
Two or three days of real warm
weather is tolerable, but when it
keeps on for eight consecutive days
then it is surely too much; yet some
of the Minneapolis folks who came
up here during the week-end said
it was just lovely up here compared
to the city.
Those in charge of the Young
People’s society say that they are
preparing another open air enter
tainment. This time it will be the
presentation of the camp-fire play:
“Singing We Pass Along”. The date
has not been definitely set; however,
an advertisement in a later issue will
give full details.

ASKOV. MINN.
Mrs. Wayne E. Jacobsen and Miss
Ruby, Mrs. Marshall Halgren and
Miss Hertha Mikkelsen were Minne
apolis visitors Tuesday.
Jens K. Hyldahl of Minneapolis,
said a week ago that they were not
coming up again so soon, but he and
the family were here again this week
end. Jens said the heat in the city
was too much for them, so they just
had to drive up and get two nights
of cool sleep.
Mr. and Mrs. Jens Thomsen send
greetings from Houston, Texas, where
they have been the past three months
on a major construction job for H.
B. Kilstofte. Incidentally they say:
“If you think it is hot up in Minne
sota, just come down here for a
week or two.”
Fred Christensen and daughter,
Miss Helga, were in Orr Sunday to at
tend the annual water carnival there,
which they say drew an attendance of
approximately 15,000 visitors. Just
after returning to Askov Monday Mr.
Christensen received word from
Browerville that his brother was ill,
so he went there right away to visit
him.

choice 180 to 240 pound offerings
moving at sll to sll.lO. Similar
grades 240 to 270 pound hogs cashed
at $10.50 to sll.lO, with 270 to 330
pound weights from $10.20 to $10.70,
and most 330 to 400 pound kinds at
$lO to $10.35. Good sows under 400

heavier kinds downward to $9, most
ly $9.15 up. Feeder pigs were steady
at sll to $11.25.
Lamb Prices Totter.
Sharply lower live costs have been
enforced for fat lambs and yearlings.
Liberal receipts of western spring
lambs with a meager outlet, coupled
with the slow demand that prevailed
at eastern dressed centers, were fac
tors that contributed to the tottering
price structure. Fat lambs were
largely $1 off, instances more, while
yearlings were 50c to 75c lower.
Sheep prices weakened. Replace
ment classes were largely on a steady
basis, spots stronger. Late sales of
good to choice western spring lambs
bulked at 510.75 to $10.85 with na
tives from $10.25 to $10.50, and year
ings were purchased chiefly under
the $9 mark.

at this time than it was when the
original conscription law was passed.
The law provides for one year serv
ice by trainees unless Congress should
declare a national emergency which
would automatically extend their en
listment for the duration of such
emergency
Unable to Agree.
Many are unable to agree with the
President that the situation is more
critical now than when the draft
law went into effect. In the first
place Russia was then an avowed
ally of the Axis powers. Today Rus
sia is at war with Germany and is
occupying the full attention of Hitler.
This is giving England a much needed
breathing spell which she is utilizing
in the production of armaments. Ac
cording to cable reports, the Russian
campaign is not progressing on sched
ule and so long as Russia stays in the
field it will be necessary for Germany
to keep the bulk of her army and air
force in that country.
In messages to Congress, as well
as in radio addresses last fall, the
President repeatedly used the term
“one year” as the period for training
selectees. It is safe to say that nearly
all of the boys who went into the
service were under the impression
that they would be permitted to re
turn home and to their old jobs when
the year was over.
If our national security were men
aced no one would say a word against
extending the term for whatever peri
od necessary but we are not menaced
in the sense that our country is in
danger of invasion; neither is it true
that the Army would become dis
organized if the original policy of
releasing the men after one year is
carried out because only about 10
per cent would be released each
month. If our Army cannot release
or absorb 10 per cent monthly, there
is something radically wrong with
that organization.
Should be Investigated.
The Little Falls Daily Transcript
and other Minnesota papers are car
rying interviews from returning visi
tors to southern training camps that
are not at all complimentary to the
judgment of those in the War depart
ment who selected the sites for these
camps.
Sheriff William J. Butcher of Mor
rison county, recently visited Camp
Claiborne and three other southern
camps. He reports that, “Poisonous
snakes, spiders, mosquitoes and stag
nant water infest the area of the four
big camps, into which the government
has poured millions of dollars.” Sher
iff Butcher states “there will be no
maneuvers and that all four camps
have been condemned—the troops
will have to move out.” Other re
putable Minnesotans have made the
same report on conditions as have
boys in the camps.
I have never been able to figure
out why it should be necessary to
send boys several thousand miles
away from home for their training,
especially when there is available
right at our doorstep one of the best
training camps in America Camp
Ripley. The entire Minnesota dele
gation in Congress protested to the
War department against the abandon
ment of that camp, as did Senators
and Representatives from other
northwestern states. The excuse that
Ripley is not suitable for winter
training is all poppycock. Canadians
do not find their country too cold for
winter training, neither have the
northern countries of Europe any dif
ficulty along that line.
We have not given up the fight
to have Ripley selected and hope to
be successful when the War d epart -

ment finally opens its eyes to its past

Cuyuna Range in Line.
I am hopeful that the Mineral Pro
curement committee of the Office of
Production Management will shortly
announce approval for the erection
of a manganese concentration plant on
the Cuyuna range. On last Friday I
was informed that the committee has
decided on the sulphur dioxide pro
cess as being the most adaptable to
the Cuyuna ores and “experimental
runs” are now being made to make
perfectly sure that the plan will work
as expected. When the experimenta
tion is completed, which I am told
will be shortly, definite plans will
be evolved for the erection of a
concentration plant.
It will be a fine thing for the Cuy
una range if the plant could be com
pleted and put into operation before
the new year but as to that I can get
no definite information.
Why Prices Advance.
The other day I received a thought
provoking letter from a housewife
back in the Sixth district that dealt
with the subject of increasing prices
which is probably a greater problem
in our part of the country than it is
in the larger centers where wage in
creases are keeping pace with living
costs. To date the northwest has
only indirectly benefited from the
huge sums the government is pouring
into defense work but our people have
to pay the same prices for what they

buy as do those who are directly
benefited.
The defense program requires vast
quantities of raw materials such as
aluminum, steel, copper, lumber, coal,
and so on. This means that the sup
ply for normal domestic consumption
is greatly reduced at the very time
when the demand for automobiles,
trucks, lumber, pots and pans, copper
wiring, electrical household equip
ment, is greatly increased because of
greater buying power. The inevitable
result of this condition is that the
law of supply and demand goes to
work with full force and that demand
and prices steadily increase in the
face of dwindling supply.
Non-Defense Goods Limited.
The Administration is trying to
check the upward price trend by
limiting production of non-defense
goods through priorities. We are
told that only half as many automo
biles will be made next year. Alumi
num is no longer available for non
defense activities. The same is true
to a lesser degree of steel, copper
and lumber.
That we are in for a period of
regimentation of production and con
sumption is as clear as crystal. Just
how this will effect employment is
something that economists are not
agreed on, neither are they in agree
ment that the government can solve
the problem through regulation of
production and consumption. The
whole thing must give joy and pleas
ure to the starry-eyed wonder boys
