As there are two others who
have voiced their opinions on the
matter Of a community hall in
this weeks issue of the Ameri-
can we will reserve our opinion
until later and not go into any
lengthy discussion this time.
However we just wish to state
that before any one asks others
If they are going nutty it is well
for such an individual to ask
himself that question. We may
all be more or less nutty but no
one cares to have anyone else
ask him that question.
In the matter of taxation it
does make difference to this
community whether or not a
community hall is tax exempt.
There is always a county and
state tax to be paid on all tax
able property and that would not
have to be paid were it tax ex-
empt.
1t appears to us that the logi-
cal time to build a community
hall is right now because there
is the right enthusiasm and SEN
timent for it, but the only thing
that bothers and that is a vital
one we afford it?
This community has been
drained heavily the last three or
four years and in fact since the
Danish colony was started here
Ia years ago. and Of course there
is a limit to everything. But let
us always remain united--that is
what has built it up. 1t would
sound much better for any one
opposed to the movemnt to come
out and say that they oppose ii
on the grounds that we are 90.
ing too far and not call it a hot
air edifice for we do not believe
that any Of those who have al.
ready contributed care to con.
tribute to hot air edifice. More

ent we have two fields under
clearing and breaking, that is
potato marketing and the pro-
posed community hall. | have
no doubt but that if you could
be allowed to put all the reser-
vations you want in the ratifi-
cation Of these programs you
would be more than glad to sup
port both, but let us rather
start the cultivation called COM
munity spirit and see if we can
not raise a crop of good friends
and true neighbors for ourselves
and the coming generation, for
which we are justified in having
them pay part of the benefit
from co-operation-the develop
ment Of a community where we
would rather live than any
where else in the whole world
regardless of the fact that few
weeds might prop up once in a
while. And very often when we
look closer at what we consider
ed a weed it really is very USE
full and valuable plant. only it
has been displaced; clover plant
for instance is weed in our gar
den and flowerbeds.
Now my old friend turn your
cultivator into the field with us
and let us have a full crop, it
will take every ounce of energy
and good will but we can do it if
we make up our minds to do it
and the reward will be hundred
fold per cent.

My Dear Friend:

Yes, that is it, regardless of
what you said in the last Askov

SO am on certain questions:
sometimes we are right and
sometimes we are wrong. In
this question l am sure you
spoke before you thought twice.
That | have found a very good
plan for people of our tempera-
ment; that will save us a great
deal Of regret afterwards. For
the sake Of the community hall

recommendation than yours
against it. You evidently lost
control of your better self.
What would YOU or be or
Askov community be in social
and economical value including
our church and fraternsl societies
if we had not cultivated com.
munity spirit more intensely
than most other communities.
We have tolerated weeds in our
social and economical fields or
wheat fields. as our Lord and
Savior said we had better do SC
rs not to crush any Of the good
wheat, and that is a practical
way to look at it. I remembe,

GIVE Us A REST

When was boy | read a
story about a kaiser's new suit.
He wanted, of course, to be the
leader in that line too, and some
fake tailors took advantage of it
and introduced some new stuff,
which was only air, of which to
make a garment more wonderful
than any yet known. And they
worked the peoples minds so
that they all submitted to the
fake the tailors put forth, be-
cause the tailors said that if
they could not see the stuff it
was only for the reason that they
were ignorant. When the kaiser
wore his new suit the first time
he paraded through the streets
and all the people were out to
see that wonderful and expen-
sive suit. and they all said: 1T
is grand" until all Of a sudden
an innocent and ignorant little
boy shouted: But the kaiser is
entirely naked
While l do not agree with the
language Mr.. Stottrup used in
his article in the last issue of the
Askov American. doesn't he to
a certain extent represent the
little boy in the story. in the
matter he writes about. in daring
to makesthe cutlery?
Sometimes we get blindfolded
when something new and nice is
put up to us and we get to
thinking that we cannot get
along without it. not considering
whether we can afford to buy it
or not.
Someone said we are obliged
to go ahead with enterprises
like the community hall in order
to keep up the reputation We
have of being progressive. l
know of one reputation which
goes farther and which we must
keep up and that is our reputa-
ton of being able to meet our
obligations financially. To my
mind it stands as uncertain that
we can meet the obligations
which we are about to under
take in the near future. namely:
community hall to cost about
S25. 900; new creamery. about
$50. 900 new parsonage. about
$4,000: new school building
$40. 900 or more.
| wonder how much of our
obligations of late years we have
paid for yet. Have we paid for
the approximate amount of $40.-
600 in Liberty Bonds, which we
bought? Have we paid for the
more than $4,000 we subscribed
to Des Moines? Have we paid
for the money which we bor-
rowed and put into our cooper
ative enterprises? And have we
the money so badly needed to
carry these through to a success?
