The American public needs 20

few months in considering the
vast amount of criticism that

do what they can to discredit
such officials as Hoover and Gar,
Held, relying upon the genera
nervousness and irritation That
are always bred of war-strain to
turn the crowd against those

task, and to magnify the newt.

"a deal of noise. 1t will be a rare

PINE COUNTY'S TURN

Andrew j. Rystrom, who repre-
SCENTS the North Branch Milling Co..,
was here yesterday on business. Sc
nator Rystrom, as he is known in the
states legislative halls, is just as
sound lawmaker as a business man
and a return to his seat in the Sc
nate to which he Is rightfully en-
titled. is assured him when the time
rolls around to put the right men
into the right places.--Pine County
(Sandstone) Courier.
The above little article does not
exactly suit our fancy. True it Is
that we are in the same legislative
district with Chisago county. and
that we elect one senator together.
But why keep on electing a man
from Chisago county? It Is now
twelve years since we had a senator
from Pine County and 1t seems that
It is about our turn. Pine county is
the largest county OF the two and has
the largest population, so we are at
least entitled to an even shake. We
have plenty OF good material in Pine
County so let us get busy and have
the senator this term. We don't be-

Markville Demonstrates
Loyalty

The free dance and supper given
by the Markville War Commercial
Club was well attended. 1t being the
largest crowd that ever attended a
dance i'm Markville
Patriotic speakers gave some real
points on the assistance of the vari-
Gus patriotic moves and most especi-
ally upon the conservation of food
and monies.
Mr.. II. S. Cohen of Danbury, gave a
very good talk on conservation;
everybody enjoyed his talk very
much. Not only Pine County has
good patriotic citizens but we must
also give Wisconsin and more especi-
ally Danbury her credit. The Mark
Vile War Commercial club wishes to
thank Mr.. Cohen for doing us the
honor of his address.
Mr.. II. o. Hanstad of Duxbury,
gave a talk on the signing of the pa
triotic petition and everybody was
enlightened and we dare say there
will be no disloyal who heretofore
did not understand the same who
will not gladly sign the same now.
Rev. Mclean OF this city. gave
a very important talk upon the
foreigner. His talk ranged upon the
theory that when foreigner en-
tered the United States and swore
allegiance to this country he was
Il full-fledged citizen and should be
accepted as such by every American
and every effort should be made to
show him a hearty welcome. This
Is the only way to help the foreign
born to understand that the United
States gives him the same protec-
ton as any other law abiding citi-
| zen and that he is welcome here
Only the Indian is true American:
all the white race was of foreig n
birth, therefore, it is the duty of
every true American when he finds
| a foreign born. to be friendly, and ii
the matter should come up to set the
| party Alright as to this being his
country. to give his life for II neces-
sary.
Miss Roberts gave reading on
child labor being abolished in Ameri-
ca. The reading was very good and
| enjoyed by everyone.
j. F.. Drummer spoke upon the con-
servation Of food that we may wear
out the Kaiser and his machinery
and claim the victory that we must
have.
Everyone attending the dance re
marked that the speaking and dance
were very much appreciated and that
never was there better time at 8
dance.

there Is not one person in Markvills
that would not lay his life down fol-

Editors NOte-The word co-opera-
ton means whole lot. When a man
utters that word he has mouthful.
1t is so easy to write and say. but to
do it is more difficult.
So far as we know there are nobody
in Askov who are complaining. but
we feel that we can go ahead and do
more if we have our own government.
For instance in the case of street
lights when we wanted those the
town board said they had no authori-
ty to pay for them and hence the
business men are paying for them
out of their own pockets. besides pay
ing their regular taxes. This of
course is only small item and hard
ly worth mentioning but nevertheless
it is an example. If a small item
like that can not be arranged how
about fire protection, sidewalks and
bigger projects? If village wants
to make improvements, go ahead and
prosper it appears that the initial
step is to incorporate, or why would
they do it other places? Minnesota
was at one time a much larger state,
but portions separated and procured
their own government, thereby get
ting their government nearer at
home. Fleming township was one
time part Of Partridge, but they
also separated when. 1t became more
settled, thereby getting government
nearer at home. And so 1t Is with
Askov. We also believe that the COM
munity as a whole will appreciate 1t
II few improvements are made here
in the village.
