of annoyance, Many mornings when
I stopped to put on my shoes / could
hardly straighten up because a sharp
pain caught me in the small of my
back read how others had used
Doan's Kidney Pills with good re-
suits, so l bought box and they
gave me relief"

Since the Sturgeon Lake Hust-
Ter was taken over by Geo. H.
Cunningham about a year and q
half ago it has become real
strong editorially. While we do
not always agree with Mr.. Cum
ningham in all his arguments
having had few tits with him
we nevertheless admire him
for splitting right out what he
thinks is right, regardless of
where the chips fly. His argu-
ments are short and to the point.
1t appears that he cares not
whether they hit his next door
neighbor, his store customers or
anybody else. He is no sucker

Trosky, village down in Pipe
stone county, will have no vii
lage revenue tax to pay for the
year 1917. This is made possible
by the fact that they have a
saloon paying $4,000 a year IL
cense. It appears to us that
they must be paying some fancy
prices for something to quench
their thirst down in Trosky.
Wonder what would happen if a
grocer, hardware dealer, drug
gist, or some other business man
would ask the same margin of
profit on his goods as does the
saloonkeeper. Some roar "
would be let out. Strange isn't
it how some fellows will line
up and throw 15c or 2Oc across
for about a SC value and never
say boo about high prices. But
let the general merchant charge
those prices and see who does
the kicking.

Probably WAY could a~ soand
though. 10 carry cut the plan,
tIgh; years ago We had bat
two grocery sseres, To-day. we
have no nsora--5,ist two. With
the added growth of the consum-
ing community, together with
the fact. that individually we all
buy more now. than we did eight
years ago, it would seem as tho
the business the farmers bring
to town now, ought to justify a
demand. or at least a desire for
something in this line.
This would on the side, help
a little to get more people to
church. as of course such build
ings would be on the lob" all
the time.

A city in Indiana elected an
alien enemy mayor. A nice
prospect the future holds for the
American citizens there. If there
is any state that can show a
more fool election law. we would
like to hear Of it. 1t is time for
the government to frame a law
that will not permit a thing of
the kind to happen anywhere in
the United States. Citizenship
should be necessary to vote in
the United States and it should
be national law. A man not
interested enough in the country
to become a citizen has no right
to vote anywhere.-Geo. H.
Cunningham in Sturgeon Lake

1T is a fact in this community.
and we presume il true in others
that many young men. born In
this country and now being
drafted and taken into the army,
can hardly talk or understand
the English language. This is a
handicap to themselves and the
officers. and is all due to lax en-
forcement and inadequate school
laws. Compulsory attendance is
too short. They forget from
year to year what they were
taught in the few days atten-
dance. At home they hear no
English and 1T often happens
they are sent to schools where a
foreign language is used, with
the result they grow up about as
much a foreigner as if they were
brought up on the other side the
ocean. Schools thruout the
United States, nc matter of what
nature, should by law be COM
PEELED to include an English-lan-
guage study. This thing of al
lowing schools to be carried on
exclusively in foreign language
should end"

ANOTHER MANS OPINION
To Askov American:

To Askov American:
In an article in the last copy
Of the American, on village In
corporation appears the state
ment that Askov village is lack
ing in certain things that go to
make it abreast with the sur.
rounding country. 1t has ap-
peared to me that what would be
an improvement much to be de-
sired, would be one or more con-
venient places where trading
farmers can put up their horses,
in shelter from sun and rain.
know of several towns in
other states where the business
men each provide such a place,
with room for approximately a
dozen teams. The whole build
ing can be very primitive and
comparatively inexpensive. Open
on one side, so that the teams
can be driven IN without un-
hitching. Probably our village
has not been laid out in a way
to make it practical to find room
for buildings Of this sort, so that
they will be located handily.

The following from Hogan's
Mirror. that hustling little store

good to the American force:
The Askov American is to be

old. but its some LADY, being now
the best equipped plant in the
