always a matter of surprise.
Sometimes death in the family
will settle standing animosities

A similar phenomenon is noted
in Europe now. Ireland, with its
menace of civil strife, is appeased
and loyal everywhere. All the
labor troubles it the United King

threatened a lockout covering

BIRTH OF AN
AMERICAN

Yes, today is the birth of an
American. but it is newspaper.
Askov American is the name
we have chosen for this, the first
newspaper ever printed and pub
lished at Askov.
The word American has a very
broad meaning, and it is the
earnest hope and desire of the
editor that this newspaper shall
stand for just Whit the word iEl-
plies.% Our columns are open for
the discussion of anything which
may be of pubic interest, spa it
which is shown by every real
Americana always ready to listen
to the argument or opinion of
others.
This newspaper was not start
ed for the purpose of advertising
or forging to khe front the editor,
any one individual, politician or
otherwise, but is here to serve
the community, We have come
to make this our home. to be one
of you, and to make an honest
living. We do not come as strang-
ers to the whole community,
many of the residents here being
from Tyler where the childhood
days of the editor were spent,
As our name indicates we are OF
the same nationality, (Danish) as
the majority of the people in this
settlement. Right herr let us add
that the people Of Askov, although
many foreign bora, show gooc
American citizenship. The schoo

Askov and vicinity do not want
children to forget their mother

children especially to remember
that love for their mother coun-
try, or mother tongue cannot
lessen their American ideals.

The Kenefick Dispatch and the
school board at that place have got
ten crosswise over the matter Of the
size of salaries to be paid to the
school teachers. If there is any one
thing in a community that will not
do well under fire of knocks it is
the public school. The poorest econ
omy in the management Of schools.
is to employ the teacher who will
work for the smallest salary. The
future of the country depends upon
the children of today, and these
children's future depends upon the
training they receive as children. In
employing teachers the school board
must be guided by the amount of its
estimate, but must also keep in mind
the fact that sixty dollar salary
will employ only sixty dollar
teacher.
