A Labor Amendment.

The American Fedefe0On OF 1epcS
influence is to be thrown strongly foe
the adoption Of an amendment to ths
Constitution Of the United States de.
signed to curb the dssYotic pqwsrs''
which labor leaders believe to have
been welded in the shop strike tnJunc.
tion. According to = dispatch from At
iantic City, where the executive coun'
ci; Of the organization Is to meet to.
morrow. the amendment - now tents
lively drawn Will prohibit the epact'
ment Of any Law o. the making Of any
judicial determination which would
deny the right Of the workers 10 o..
ganize for the betterment Of their con.
ditions, to deal collectively with their
employers or to collectively withhold
their labor and patronage and induce
others to do So"
As thus drafted the proposed amend.
ment would not only through peohabi'
ton legaIize the strike definitely and
permanently, but 1t would 1t the same
time lekalize the boycott. A. present
there is no statute, and there u no

of any group Of men OF women BY

words. to strike. a constitutional
amendment merely writing that mega

ment could possibly ever be adopted in
this country legalizing. in effect, the

terms of the proposed measure a

II the amendment as thus drawn

The executive council OF the Amer.
lean Federation OF Labor would hardly
hesitate before proposing SO sweeping 6
an amendment. Indeed. any proposal
Of this kind 1t the present time Is Of
doubtful wisdom. Whatever the reae.
.tion. the public feeling against the
drastic features Of the Chicago in.
Junction, there remains strong evi.
dance that the sentiment Of the coun.
try is distinctly sssinst the railroad
strike in particular and against strikes
in general in industries essential to
the public welfare. A constitutional
amendment such a. that now pro-
posed would have the smallest chance
Of adoption.

Oyster EnIar1es Home.
 An oyster enlarges its own shell. It spends It's infancy in the hole where 1t lives in It's latter days As 1t grows it throws out a secretion of animal matter and carbonate of lime, which sticks to the shell, and oozes over the edges surrounding the hollow in which the creature resides. Thus, as time goes on, its home gradually becomes larger and thicker.

Of the voters Of Pine County.
He did, however, call a meeting
for the entire county at Hinck-
ley when he was elected to his
first term; but it was poorly at
tended. / was there, but "A
Farmer" was not there; maybe
that is the reason he knows SO
little about the work performed
by Mr.. Petersen.
In regard to the attack made
on Mr.. Petersen for being pa
triotic during the war. recon-
mending and coercing most Of
the people to buy Liberty bonds
at an interest rate of Al per
cent, it appears to me that he
can take that as a compliment
He with the other committee
members put a notice in the 10.
cal paper asking everybody to
come in to Askov and subscribe
for part Of the allotment and
everyone came except one. II
is most likely that it was here
Mr.. Petersen offered to loan
money. But this man absolutely
objected to buy any Liberty
bonds. His excuse was that he
had no money to pay for the
bonds. and then it was Petersen
offered to loan him the money
at 8 per cent, which then was
the rate, and not 10 per cent
There was no excuse in this case
for him to object to shoulder
part of the burden of carrying
on the war, and the man who
signs his name "A Farmer
knows it best himself.
The contention he makes that
L. c. Petersen should not BIZ

cause he is connected to a bank
although he admits being borr
and raised on farm, is simpl,
talk that he does not himself be
lieve.
| will add that Mr.. Pederser

jure a mans character! | be-
lieve that we at Askov really
needed the bank at the time it
was started. | believe it has
served us well. That we have
paid a reasonable price for the
service and no more.
The last charge "A Farmer"
shoots should be crushing one.
He says that he thinks Petersen
will only get 10 per cent Of the
votes in his own community. Do
you really believe that Mr.. "A
Farmer? If so | am afraid /
shall lose faith in your judgment
altogether. Petersen has made
four campaigns and he never re-
ceived less than 90 per cent Of
the votes cast in his home corr
munity. He should almost be-
come a criminal before anything
coming anywhere near your
think" could happen.
Pine county will elect q rep
resentative to serve it, and we
all hope that a good. capable
man is chosen; whom it shall be.
the voters will decide. Should
it be that L. C. Petersen is not

on time, all Of which was ar

H. Duus.
Six years ago Mr. James Fro
kjer, who had built up a fine
farm half a mile west Of Askov,
started a movement for bring
ing in high grade and burebred
mich stock. and it was at this
time that L. c. Petersen again
was asked together with Mr..
Frokjer to purchase a lot Of this
class Of stock. They went to
Fort Atkinson, Wis. and bought
two carloads consisting mostly
of high grade Holstein and
Guernsey cows. mostly young
cows. Only one Holstein and
four purebred Guernsey heifers
were purchased at a cost Of $3.50
each; they we're all large and
well built animals. The general
opinion Of the Askov farmers is
that there never was started q
movement which has brought
better results for the advance
ment Of the dairy bust
ness ut Askov. Several
good herds have been built up
from these cows. There is. Of
course, no one that claims that
every COW brought in turned out
to be a good one or a great
producer; it could not be expect

ded that some county will natur-
ally have to break the ice and
try it out in court unless all
abide by the law and add addi-
tional tax burdens, and ii might

other.
Many Of the club members
took part in the discussion that
followed. a Mr.. Anderson citing
experiences with a county weed
inspector in Marshall county
bringing out that such IL a
regular nuisance and there is
more red tape connected with it
than anything else he has seen.
One club member brought out
that the powers Of eradicating
obnoxious weeds has been. in the
hands Of town boards and that
the county weed inspector would
be only to supplement them and
would add too much tax burden
for the good derived.
II was explained that Pine
county should have three such
inspectors on account OF its size.
The arguments all appeared to
be Of the thoughtful kind. not
arrived At In 4 hurry, but by
study and observations. A reso-
luton was PASSED placing the
club on record Al being opposed
to the county weed inspector
law.
Some time was also spent on
the discussion Of fire wardens
and IL seemed the opinion was
universal that this getting per-
mits every time a farmer has a
pile Of brush or stumps to burn
only causes hardship to the man
who IN trying To hcw the forest
and build q home on cut-over
land.
lAttention was called to the
fact that the big Moose Lake
fire was caused by railroad en-
gincs and not by settlers burning
brush piles and it is since that
catastrophe that all these pre-
cautions with fire permits have
been taken.
They argued that about the
time they had secured a permit
il might rain that day and they
would be obliged TO secure
another permit, losing more
time; that most Of the brush and
stump piles were too wet to
burn before May list, and SO on.

especially to knock L, c. Peder-
sen as state representative.
In looking over the article /
have come to the conclusion
that the motive behind it is pure
jealousy.
/ know L. c. Petersen as well
az any other person and con-
slider him to be a true member
Of the Farm Bureau movement
and also Of any other organiza~
ton he is affiliated with. The
person who signs himself "A
Farmer, must know that It
does not correspond with the
facts when he blames the First
State Bank Of Askov for not col
lectin0 all Farm Bureau mem
berships in this locality. The
bank was rather dilligent, but
the members refused to pay, be-
cause they claimed that things
had not been fully explained to
them. Here are the facts. The
membership drive WAS made by
an outsider and Ludwig Mosbnk,
Askov. The work was not
properly done in that q number
|of the members signed the
agreement with the understand
ing that the membership fee was
only $500 for one year, 80 when
the next payment came due they
were not willing TO pay it and
stopped payment on the order.
The First State Bank Of Askov
seems to believe that each and
every one Of their customers
should have control Of their own
account at the bank, and be-
lieve that il az it should be.
The "A Farmer, il appears to
me. is trying to shift the blame
from the shoulders Of the So
licitors onto the bank. II Mr..
Mosbnk and his fellow solicitor
had taken time to explain the
new plan in detail to the men,
bers there would not have been
any trouble afterwards and the
unit would not have been torn
up. We should try to help each
other in all affairs to get full
understanding of things and
leave no room for misundcr-
standing. | consider this prac-
ticc absolutely necessary to ac-
complish good results in public

It is also a fact that he and

carloads of common milk cows
for distribution. Later on he
brought up three carloads Of
common cows. This all happened
long ago in the early days Of
