to all in public and high school
is mighty good one and we like
it. So far we do not know Of
any children from wealthy fami-
lies having graduated from the
Askov High School.
But if anything can be done
to economize on the expendi-
lures in the local high school
that is well and good and all tax
payers should favor such move.
1t is also very good to have a
high school in any community if
the burden is not too great. so
that the young people desiring
that education may secure it
while at home, and under d.
rect influence and guidance of
the home. The high school age
is most likely the time when
good home influence is most ne
cessary. Every community also
has a duty to perform in produc-
ing some educators which is an
other reason for the upkeep of
the high school.
The annual school election is
on the third Saturday Of July in
the evening. being the 10th Of
July this year. Two school board
members are to be elected on
that date and if any voters
wish to make nominations see
the clerk about it. We believe
nominations shall be made ten
days before election.
Now that the treasurer is
about to balance up his books for
the year the American will en-
deavor to secure figures for next
issue to show how much the
high school is costing the dis
trict annually.

The feature of the game was
long distance batting on both
sides and many errors were also
chalked up. Although the score
indicates that Bruno won it will
however not be counted in the
percentage column as Groningen
has entered a protest on the

The High school,

With the low prices Of farm
produce ever since last fall and
the general slump in business
the subject of high taxes has
been a prominent one ever since.
The taxes are high alright but
they are to be found higher in
some counties of the state than
here in Pine although our, tax
es are not Of the lowest either.
During 1919 and 1920 money was
rolling freely and apparently we
were having good times and con-
sequently we created the high
taxes that are now much more
difficult to pay with the dollar
being scarcer and having come
back to nearer it's normal value.
In other words the dollar taxes
were created when the dollar
was only worth about 33 cents
and now we have to pay with
big round silver dollars that we
have to work for. Many were
perhaps Of the opinion that the
good times would continue in
definitely and hence there was
no hurry about economizing, but
after a war and spend-freely
period there is usually a reaction.
Disorder. hunger and starvation
in one part of the world and
good times in another is also
something that will not long go
hand in hand. The people of
the world are too close neighbors
nowadays FOR that.
But where to use the. axe in
cutting down taxes is the ques-
ton that il confronting many
