GIVES GOOD ADDRESS
ON MEMORIAL DAY
Prof. Chas. +. Lintlsksy Speaks to
Askov Audience ON Decora.
tion Day.

A good sized crowd was pres
ent Sunday afternoon to enjoy
the Memorial Day celebration
put on by the local Jens II. Jen-
sen Post Of the American Le-
gion.
The program was opened at
the park by the Askov Band.
they playing several selections.
The audience then sang Star
Spangled Banner after which
Rev. S. d. Rodholm, post CON-
mander, introduced the speaker
of the day. Prof. Chas. F. Lind
sley Of the State University, who
gave a very good address. which
was listened to attentively. The
speaker briefly outlined Ameri-
can history. traditions and
ideals. He said American citi-
zenship is not in the large cities
nor in congress. but in every
home in and about Askov: or in
other words what the speaker
wanted to impress on his audi
tors was the fact that American
ideals and American citizenship
the citizenship Of a free coun-
try--are to be reared and pro-
mulgated in every home Of the
land.
Another song was then sung
by the audience after which the
band again rendered a few selec-
tions. The coffee was then to
have been enjoyed but here is
where the arrangement commit
tee fell down and it was about
another hour before the refresh
ments were enjoyed, many of
the audience having already de-
parted for their homes at that
time.
The base ball game between
Brook Park and Askov was a fz-
zle, resulting in a score of about
20 to S in favor Of the visitors.
Perhaps the less said about it
the better as it was disgrace to
the great national pastime. The
fact Of the matter is that Askov
played marbles instead Of base
ball, there being only one man
on their team who played an all
around good game and that was
Walter Thomson who did most
excellent fielding and walloped
out couple Of good two-bag-
gers. Brook Park played a good
game, doing heavy batting and
excellent fielding. They have
strong team. and for that mat
ter Askov also had a strong team
Sunday, but there was great
lack Of team work and general
all around practise. Askov,
however, did better batting than
usual Sunday. This is where the
team is weakest.

Elected Academician.
The National Academy of De-
sign in New York, has at its an
nual meeting elected the fore
most Swedish portrait painter,
August Franzen, to Academician.
Mr.. Franzen is from Ostergot-
land. He has studied in the
principal cities of Europe and
often been honored with prizes
and medals at exhibitions in the
old and new continents. He is
the only living man of Swedish
descent now holding full mem

An international Peoples
College.
A Dane. Peter Manniche. has
arrived in this country to arouse
interest in a plan drawn up with
the idea of helping to establish
a better understanding among
nations. The purpose is to esta-
blish an international People S
College in Denmark, which coun-
try is especially suited to the
carrying out Of this plan because
the idea of folk high schools orr
ginated there and because of its
central position. The intellec-
tual and spiritual basis of the
college is to be found in the
principles: that love of fellow
men for each other extends far
beyond all national boundaries:
the love of God surmounts all
human barriers; human society
is one great body whose limbs,
each in its particular way,
should contribute to the we'll
being of the whole. Many we'll
known men in Great Britain
have heartily indorsed the plan.

 They were determined to give to the South syrup so true Tn flavor, so sweet, as to be worthy of the batter, cakes and hot breads for which the South has so long been famous.

 They were determined that they would make for everypurpose forwhich the luscious products of the sugar cane were used, product as delicious as those of those crisp autumn days when the open kettles full of the sweet juice of ,fresh-cut sugar cane bubbled over bonfres of wood.

other problems that the farm bureau
In that township should solve was the
eradication of tuberculosis In cattle.
This statement was made at the
bureau dinner at Toledo, Oct. s at
which every township In the county
was represented. Immediately fol-
lowed the discussion which has never
before been taken up in such a meet
ing In Iowa, II gathered together the
cattle of three OF my neighbors," said
Joe Haynes, of Garwin, and we had
the herds tested by local veteri-
marian. not by the federal man, be-
cause. altho our application was into
the state office, they We're too busy,
SO we were in position to slaughter
all the infected animals on our own
account and therefore we did not re-
ceive any remuneration as we would
have had we waited for the federal
tester"
ANY farmer in Iowa can do the
same. but sorry to say they don't,
therefore believe that we should
have legislation compelling the
tuberculosis test and every tubercu-
losis animal should be slaughtered at
the owners risk entirely"
Mr.. Haynes with several others
continued to plead for chance to
put their cattle In such a test and
start way to clean up tuberculosis
in Iowa.
Richard Malin spoke at length on
the necessity Of an educational cam
paign to bring out the dangers Of this
dreaded disease.
THE success OF our Industrial hap
piness lies In the fact that we under
stand what weSare doing and do i,
because we know It is right. /, II the
people OF Iowa knew that the test
for tuberculosis would eliminate O
disease which is destroying thei,

cattle for tuberculosis" said Mr.

A vote was taken on this compul-
sorry testing for tuberculosis and
there was not one negative vote cast
