and tentative. plan for the third
year is being arranged.
The plan and study outline of the
Audubon Improvement Circle has re-
ceived much favorable comment and
has been adopted by the Iowa Baby
Health Contest Association for fol-
low up work. The Iowa Congress of
Mothers has asked for the printed
leaflets for distribution and the Iowa
Central Committee of Child Welfare
comprising representatives from all
leading organizations in the state in
terested in child betterment will as

Great oaks from little acorns
grow" and 1t is hoped that the small
beginning in Audubon and vicinity
will in time become strong infiu-
ence in promoting the movement for
TRAINED parenthood, that Is the great
est demand of the age. For as Henry
Ward Beecher so aptly says:
Look for one single moment upon
the power of the cradle, for all this
love and outfiowing of the divinest
feeling of human nature was not
meant to be expended merely as q
luxury for the maternal bosom
There is meaning in it. 1t is one of
the sources of the greatest power
that exists on earth. The power OF
the cradle is greater than the power
of the throne, greater than royalty
in it's diffusion and in its capacity OF
usefulness-ten thousand times
greater. Make me monarch of the
cradles, and will give to whosoever
will the monarchy of the kingdoms
and of the thrones.-Beecher.

her mite to exchange of ideas that
is making her club of value to her
self and to others.
The first Child Improvement Cir
Gle was formed in Audubon in the
fall of 1914 as a result of the COM
bined efforts of DIR. Florence Brown
Sherbon, of Colfax; DR.. R. H. Syl-
vester of the state university at
ubon and myself. Mrs. H. ]. Hoog-
enakker was chosen for president
and the membership consisted of six
mothers and six babies.
Interest in the Baby Club" as II
was popularity called, increased rap
idly and this first circle soon out
grew the limit of twelve imposed
by the constitution. A group OF
rural mothers looked over the plan,
decided it was good and in few
weeks another prosperous Child I'm
provement Circle was meeting reg
ularly each month with Mrs. Ray
Emerson as president.
The overgrown Audubon circle
was then divided and Mrs. John
Kennedy was made president of the
new ClIClc.
About this time the little town OF
Ross concluded to have Baby
Club" and the Ross Child Improve
ment Circle was organized, Mrs.
Fred Jones being chosen for presid-
ing officer.
1t is now a little more than a year
since the first circle was formed and
some of the babies have out grown
the study outlines for infant care
They are babies no longer and the
mothers of these children expressed
desire for a circle to study the
child from three to five years of age
so the third Audubon circle was
formed with Mrs. r. ]. Loveland fol-
president. The small beginning OF
the autumn of 1914 has grown in a
trifie over a year to five organized
circles, representing more than fifty
families.

We look like human stairsteps when they stand us
in row,
For visitors at our house have always told us so.
I often wonder how 'twoud if some tried to

From Annies head to mine an his all people talk.
One night along near Christmas time, when Annie'd
left her bed
An come to where I'd been put along with brother
Fred,
Our parents tiptoed up to if safe asleep;
An nudged Fred and Ann to how still all
could keep,
They stood beside an whispered with their arms
around each other
I peeked at them between my lids, an Annie did an

An mother softly answered back: 'To heaven, says

An then heard mother say, in laugh and-tear-

TAINTED POLITICS
Nv Peter Radford.

This country Is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There Is
scarcely a campaign speech made.
platform demand written or a mea'
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There Ia more blue sky" In cam
paign promises OF many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned In the prospectuses OF the bold
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians In the
name of MY Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden In the phrase BE II en-
acted than were ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress In
this nation than the greed for gold.
and 1t ought to BIO regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors az relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk OF an In
dustry, or cripple business for party
success. through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story OF the rainbow with It's
pot OF gold and their contamination
about as far.fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men In Office today who, IL they
could not shake plums off the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country Ia surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
let's In defense Of their country. but
there are few men In public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor In de-
Tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative OF the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
Justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government. and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attrf'
butes AZ implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star Of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable: the pillow or the staff OF
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule IL
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm. and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership In legislative bodies, much
of the trouble In government will dis.
appear.

THIS ARGUMENT A SURE
WINNER

The temperance people were
battling to put the saloons out of
business. An election was or
dered and a mass meeting was
held in the roomiest church.
Near the close Of the meeting a
venerable looking old gentleman
dressed in broadcloth arose and
addressed the audience.
Friends he said, IF you vote
whiskey out of this town | will
lose my job. | am getting old
and know of no other way to
make a living. As you know |
keep the towns saloon, a nice
respectable place. Think of that
before you vote"
When he had finished, a care
worn woman arose and and
said.
AS you know | am the town
washer woman. For twenty
years | have had to make a liv-
ing for my family. because my
husband could not resist the
temptation offered by our friend 4
nice respectable saloon. Vote
whiskey out and my husband will
make a living for us. Then the
saloonkeeper can have my job,
The town voted dry.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1915-06-03

The county option campaign
seem to be warming up. Several
of the dry agitators have visited
Askov the past week but they
don't seem to be able to pick up
a scrap here as the majority of
our people are against saloons,
in fact nearly all of them. Mr..
Reader If you wish to see Pine
County go dry be sure to turn
out and vote June 2lst. 1t is not
a question Of whether the ma
jority of voters in Pine County
are for wet or dry but it is a
question if the dry vote turns
out. Lincoln County recently
went dry by the narrow margin
of 81 votes. The drys thought
they had walk-a-away and con-
sequently did not work very hard,
many of them not voting. Up
to-date there are II counties in
the state which have voted on
the licence question and all but
one have voted dry. A county
option rally will be held in Askov
Saturday, June IL.

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm.
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
iveth,' but farming is the biggest
business on earth. and there is more
water Ia it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry, There Is
as much water In a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines Of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum. as there Is in business pay
ing reasonable compensation upon
the face value OF securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference Is, the water Is In the interest
rate In one instance and in the secur.
tiles In the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success Is contingent upon
the development of the property in.
volved but the Insurer. as rule, takes
no chances and his success eripples
the property involved There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan,
ciai immortality In both law and Gus,
tom than that of agriculture
The farmers of America today are
paying sao0.ooo,o0o per annum in
usary on real estate and chattel
loans. and this interest capitalized
ut Ave per cent, represents $4,000. o0o,.
600 OF fictitious values which the farm.
er is paying interest ON. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced Iii the United
States.
The earning power of the farmer $
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face~~three-fourths water and one.
fourth land The largest body OF wa.
ter that floats upon the financial hem.
isphere now rests upon the farms
aud its waves are dashing and It's
pillows are rolling against seven mil.
lion homes threatening ruin and dis.
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
VIII our public servants who under,
stand now to drain the liquid of in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water of the farmse
