The gravity of the situation
was emphasized by the World
war, official records showing that
"a of every 1000 men called to
the colors being victims of tuber-
culosis. In Minnesota, eight per
cent of the men disqualified as
physically unfit were tubercular.
of the 4,50O,OO0 men in
service in the World war, 684, 900
were wounded, injured or sub
ject to illness. There were
10000 mental and nervous cases
There were 10000 victims of
tuberculosis and this startling
figure will increase to $4,000 in
five years as the incipient cases
develop. Hundreds more san
atoria, with the most modern
equipment must be provided, be-
cause the existing hospitals have
but a small bit of the great bed
capacity SO vitality needed to care
for the thousands of active cases.
THE war has emphasized our
great problem of public health.
What our young men gave their
lives to save must be kept safe.
This problem of health must be
solved to assure the permanency
of q happy, efficient citizenship"

STATE POLITICS
Written by Vance Chapman.
Styled The County Chairman
Not necessarily the opinion of
the Askov American.

With. Congressman Franklin
Ellsworth preparing to enter the
Republican gubernatorial lists,
not little interest is being
taken in his possible successor
and as result lighting rods are
up in a number Of the counties
Of the second district. The Re
publican nomination is the honor
sought as such is practically
equivalent to election. Only
once has the rock ribbed Second
slipped and that was when the
late Gov. Hammond put James
T. McCleary, a veteran Repubh.
can in the discard. While it is
known that several have their
eye on the place, perhaps the
most prominent mentioned pos
sibility at present is A. J. Allen
Of Fairmont. Mr.. Allen, who
formerly was county attorney Of
Martin county. is an uncompro-
missing foe Of Pro-Germanism Of
every form and during the war
made the hustings ring with his
appeal for one hundred per cent
Americanism. 1t got him in bad
in his county and he was compel
led to resign when the county
commissioners frowned on his ac-
tivity to the extent of reducing
his salary, but they could not
shut his mouth. He is said to be
a whirlwind Of a campaigner, and
friends claim that he can sweep
the district. Another possibility
mentioned is Judge Frank Clague
of Redwood county. Blue Earth
county is talking of offering a
service man for the place. For
mer county attorney Allen, how
ever, has the big end Of the talk
just now.

Farm News
Edited by w. J. Corwin, Manager
Pine County Farm
Bureau,


The Poultry Association mott
fies US that they are unable to ar
range for coops and that the
show which was to have been
held at Pine City, December 9-1O-
IL will have to be postponed
This is very unfortunate since so
much enthusiasm and coopera-
ton had been worked up. How
ever there is always some way to
surmount difficulties and it is
hoped that a good corn and poul-
try show may be staged later in
the winter.
We need t hese meetings to uni
fly public sentiment on the pro-
per solutions of our local crop
and live stock problems. Pub
lie sentiment crystalized along
the best methods of production
and marketing then becomes the
motive force for community
prosperity.
Si'age Spells.
One farmer reports that his
silage is spelling and asks the
cause and whether or not there
is a remedy. The cause is in
most every case lack of moist
ure sufficient. to shut out the
air. More or less mold develops
and later the silage is dark color
ed and rotten. Some men have
to fill their ilo after the corn
has been shocked and dried out
considerable; this year corn ma
tured more than usual and con-
tanned less water at cutting time.
In such case it is necessary to
add enough water.so that when it
settles down all air will be forced
out. Sometimes the silo is not
water tight. Sometimes the
moisture seeps out thru the &c.
ment walls at the bottom, especi-
ally II they are not properly
made or coated on the inside to
prevent the cement from taking
up water.
We are not certain of RENE
dy to prevent further decay but
we believe in many cases water
added now will help.

1t has been definitely decided
to have a school for young people
in Askov after the first Of the

TO be held in the basement Of the

Many interesting deer stories
are being told these days. Carl
Miller was out one day and shot
every deer he saw. Another
man tried to shoot one with a
shot gun but after several at
tempts gave it up and went
home; after dinner he took his
1880 rifle and went back and
found the deer still waiting for
him; with this weapon the end
came suddenly. But the best
one heard so far land that is
straight facts tool was fellow
who had the unpleasant surprise
Of having great big buck jump
up about 10 feet ahead of him
and come right toward him. The
man became frightened and
turned to run. however he came
TO think Of his gun and turned
around to fire at the buck. He
pulled the trigger alright but
nothing doing. investigating he
found he had forgot to cock the
trigger: this was done and aim
taken again but. alas. the buck
had changed his mind and was
fast disappearing on the other
side Of a big swamp.

Last fall saw two other CON
gressional districts in which the
Republican encumbent had to
fight TO retain their jobs. c. r.
Davis in the Third and A. J. Vol
stead in the Seventh. Both were
given a lively run for their
money. Whether they will have
opposition for the Republican no
mination this year remains to be
seen. So far no opposition has
been mentioned and the chances
are that If such does materialize
it will have little effect. Both
are fairly well entrcnchcd in
their respective districts.

At BrOtnan's RiaIto.

Filmed from a Saturday Evening
Post serial, "a Huge Black, One
Eyed Man." which was written by
Kenyon Gambler, the new World
Picture has two famous stars,
Carlyle Blackwell and Evelyn
Greeley The picture has been given
the title of Love in a Hurry" a
particularly appropriate title. This
offering, damned with the same sort
of humor and snappy action which
has been so thoroughly enjoyed by
picture-goers in other World offer
ings, has been secured by the Rialto
theatre, and will be shown Satur-
day.
From start to finish Love in a
Hurry" is a notable production. The
serial from which it has been made
was one of the most successful
stories to appear recently in the
Saturday Evening Post. Wallace c.
Clifton, who made the scenario for
the production, is declared to De
one of the best continuity writer's in
the business, and Dell Henderson,
director of the attraction, is the
man who directed Mr.. Blackwell
and Miss Greeley in their other
most noted successes, THE Beloved
Blackmailer," and by Hook or
Crook" Of course. it is not neces-
cary to call attention to the at
tainments and abilities of the two
stars.

When 1.-THE Heart of Wetona," a
Select picture production, shows at

Norma Talmadge will be seen in the
role of an Indian girl. She is pre-
scented by Joseph NJ Schenck.
The Comanche Indians, despite
the years of training and instruc-

States, still cling to some of their
ancient rites. Quannah, chief of the
tribe, is making arrangements for a
corn dance. He says that vesual
virgin must be chosen to bring
sacred food to the Holy Man at the
dance. Wetona, daughter of Guam
nah, is chosen as the vestal virgin.

Her. father is suddenly awakened
to the fact that his daughter is not
the pure and virtuous girl he
thought she was. Quannah demands
to know the name of her lover. She
refuses to tell him. All she will tell
him is that he is white man. The
Indians headed by Quannah decide
to seek vengeance.
John Hardin, the agent in charge
of the reservation, suspects that
the Indians are up to some mis-
chief and decides to find out what
it is. He is in love with Wetona, but
as she has never shown the slight

secret locked in his heart Anthony
Wells is the man Wetona loves
Tony is a good-for-nothing scrape-
grace and has taken evil advantage
of Wetona's love for him.
When old Quannah tells Wetona
that her lover must die at sunset
her only desire is to protect the
man she loves and as Hardin is the
one man trusted by the tribe, she
goes to him to plead that he save

Building Town
On Mountain

The Marion Coal l. Lumber Co.
has practically town started on
Cumberland Mountain about FIVE
miles from here. 1t is called Ma
rion from the first portion of name of
company as displayed on a signboard
there. 1t is located where Power
Line crosses the Higginbotham turn
pike or Tracy Road
A store building 24x48 has been
built, nicely ceiled with ceiling from
Chattanooga, and large quantities of
goods are arriving daily. 1t is said
that they sell at the same figure ON
the mountain as in the valley. If
so, it Is business deadener to the
stores at this place, as mountain peo-
BILE will naturally patronize the
nearer store when money cannot be
saved by hitting the longer trail.
A large granary has been built
near store.
Two dwelling houses have been
built and are now occupied, and two
more are in the process of construc-
ton.
Hats off to the push and enterprise
of the new town of Marion on the
breezy heights of Cumberland.
