But his idealsm is practical He points the way in
which the 25,O0U members of the NJ P. church
in the state may best the cause of humanity by urging
that they help to produce greater food supply than will
be needed for their use. In conclusion he says:
AS your servant let me call attention to the

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

With practically every town
and hamlet intent upon securing
the honor of being the most
generous giver in proportion to
population, there is every pros
pect that Minnesota will con-
tribute even more than $1,000
900, the sum it has been asked
to subscribe toward the fund of
$100,O00,000 to be raised for the
American Red Cross during Red
Cross Week, June 1S to %. Gov
ernor ]. A. A. Burnquist, Chair
man of the Minnesota campaign
has received from state head
quarters in Minneapolis reports
of a response to his proclamation
which indicates that not a single
community will neglect to con-
duct an organized effort to place
the state on the honor roll in the
national campaign.

Candidates for School Offices

Under the new law which Is
now in affect all candidates FOR
election to school offices must 20

required of those seeking county

his friends must file his namc
with the clerk of the school
board at least twelve days befor
the annual election. Or any five
persons wishing a certain person
to be elected to the board nay
file his name.
When the clerk gives the notice
of the annual meeting this notice
must state the names of the can

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1917-06-14

1t is the patriotic duty of every
citizen Of Minnesota to do his
share in subscribing for the Ii
berty Loan. In times of war and
peace, Minnesota has ever been a
leader and performed her part in
the service of the country.
We are in a great war. Which
will put to the supreme test the
patriotism, self-sacrifice and
capacity of our people. The war
is none of our seeking. We have
no ambitious military schemes or
desire of conquest. We do not
wish to impose on any people
government not of their choosing.
We were attacked, the lives of
our citizens ruthlessly taken and
the most sacred rights invaded.
We are fighting just cause,
to protect American citizens,
American homes and American
rights, the rights of ourselves
and the generations to come, to
maintain our own government
and individual liberty. We have
so long enjoyed the blessings of
peace and individual liberty, we
should not forget that they can
only be maintained by personal
sacrifice and devotion to our
ideals of Government. If we
wish to make secure the right Of
this people to govern itself. free
from the dictates of military
power, let us perform our share
in whatever field the country
calls. Do not let us delude our
selves with the idea that we are
fighting a war in the interest of
foreign countries. We are fight
