GOOD ADDRESS
ON PATRIOTISM
Continued from Page ~

live in? Because it is our own.
A boy loves his father and
mother because they are his own.
That is the root of patriotism
our own.
The real spirit of l776 was love
of country and it was in those
days that Benjamin Franklin
said. I'VE will have to hang to-
gether or we will hang separate.
Patriotism begins at home-not
in st. Paul or Washington.
Much has been said and written
about promoting patriotism but
about the best way to do that is
to make people feel at home.
Don't police them. The home
patriotism that plods along and
does little each day accomplish
es something.
Rev. ROdholm was accorded
very close attention throughout
his address.
He was followed by L. c. Pc
dersen who made a few remarks
about the upkeep of the local
park which is for free use by
anybody as long as it is not mis-
used. Chris Iversen has been en-
gagged to care for the park this
summer and is doing splendid
work, having already improved
the appearance of it materially.
The work will be paid by volun-
tary donations and anyone inter-
ested may give what he desires
at any of the local stores.
| Mr.. Petersen told of an inter-
esting visit he had with a former
well known Duluth attorney,
now dead. a Mr.. Reynolds. about
eight years ago. Mr.. Reynolds
said that he had frequently pass
ed through Askov and seen COM
munity gatherings here where
the two flags-American and
Danish-waved together-t h e
one representing the land of
adoption and the other the
mother country. He commented
favorably on this stating that
love and tender memories of
ones mother as we'll as mother
country makes for better citizen
ship and patriotism in another
country and the message he gave
to Mr.. Petersen to deliver to his
home folks at some future time
was brief but covered a wide
scope and consisted of only two
words: Live on.
i Mr.. Petersen also stated that
while returning from the church
conference at Cedar Falls, Iowa.
recently he met a very interest
ing individual at Mason City,
Iowa, a man who is a descendant
of people that settled America in
Revolutionary days. He is a
descendant of Jonathan Zane who
came to America together with
the wellknown Quaker VIM. Penn,
many cities. streets, parks and
the like deriving their names
from both of these individuals.
A novel--"Betty Zane"-has been
written about this family and
while it is a novel it is neverthe-
less history tracing back to early
days of this country. Jonathan
Zane came to America from Dem
mark. AS Mr.. Petersen became
very interested in the Mason City
descendant and has since read the
novel he recommended its read
ing to Askov people.
| Next on the program was re-
freshments and these were en-
joyed while the band boys played
several more selections. A little
rain at this time made people
skirmish for shelter but it lasted
only briefly and then the
sports were carried out to the
amusement of all.

Tho Size Of Pyqmie,.

There are certain popular errors
concerning the. race Of understood men
and women known as pygmies Usual
ly travellers have measured the most
diminutive specimens and thus m ex-
aggerated idea Of their smallness has
been produced. The average stature
of the pygmles that have been meas
ured is about four feet eight inches
but the best authorities in anthr0pol-
ogy say that the real average limit Of
stature Is five feet. Some are taller
thnn that.
The pygmies have been found in
eight or ten different places In CEN
tral Africa. but wherever found they
possess certain striking resemblanccs.

their huts is the same in the widely

MEASURE MUST BE PERFECT
Why Precise Degree Of Accuracy Has
to Be Maintained In so-eaiied
Standard Bars.

For most of us the knowledge that
meter is 3.37 inches longer than q
yard Is quite sufficient. We must
know as much as that, because the
metric system Of measures 10 Sc wide
ly employed that one constantly finds
It necessary to turn meters Into feet
or yards. But the reflnements Of
modern science demand far higher
degree of accuracy In measurement
than Is perhaps ever dreamed Of in
the ordinary walks OF life. Tie pains
taken to obtain precise standards Of
measure are almost beyond belief Of
one who Is not familiar with scicn.
tific methods.
Everyone knows that so-callcd
standard" bars. on which the exact
icagth Of the yard and the meter are
marked. are In the possession Of the
governments OF the United States,
Great Britain. France and other coun-
tries. but everyone does not know
with what care these standards have
been compared and with what pa
tlence they have been mlnutcly meas
ured again and again.

LEFT TOWNS NAME 10 LUCK
Men Who Had Decision Agreed to pe-

Of 4 Coin. s


The death Of Francis w. Pettygrove,
A. former Portland (Afe.) resident,
which occurred recently in Portland,
Ore. has brought to light the story of
how the city on the Pacific coast al
most was named Boston instead Of
Portland.
A flip Of coin fixed the name Of
Portland, Ore, on what was then but
a. tiny settlement. i
The coin was flipped In the autumn
Of 184S. A man named A. L. Lovejoy
of Boston. and a second named F. w.
Pettygrove OF Portland, Me-, were new
settlers in Oregon and were Joint
owners of small store, one Of few
buildings in settlement on tile VIII
lamette river.
The settlement was called every
thing from '.tlie village" to "Stump-
town." and the partners determined
to dignity 1t with real name. Love-
Joy wanted to call IT Boston; Petty
grove preferred Portland.
Finally they agreed to toss n coin.
The Portland man called the turn over
the Boston man, and the village forth
with was named Portland, Ore.

publican ranks on the world court
issue the political aspect Of Pres
ident Hardings unequivocal com
mitment for the proposal of Amer
lean participation in his New York
address today continued to hold the
close attention of party leaders.
All shades of reaction to the pres

the proposal were manifested soon
after his return to the capital. The
preponderance Of sentiment among
leaders as openly expressed favored
the executives stand and saw little
to fear in opposition forces of Il

was pursued There also were sug-

In addition to conferences to par

ident also received expressions on
the position he had taken from lead
ers throughout the country. While
the administration officials general
ly appeared we'll satisfied with the
support accorded the president on
the issue, some of those who talked
with President Harding yesterday
came away with the impression that
he himself was entirely assured of
the effect the opposition expressed
SO anxious was the president to
avert amy schism in the party, they
said, that the situation might pos

for his western speaking trip. The

to keep politics distinctly in the

tentatively arranging for it has re-

it would be made until he could feel
assured this was possible.

Sioux County
Officials Have
Traded Positions

Fort Yates, N. d., April 26.ATwo
Sioux county officials who virtually
trade the positions of auditor and
treasurer, found themselves in some
what of dilemma in keeping both
offices going while making the
change.
F. B. Fiske's term as auditor ex-
pired April l, and he was scheduled
to begin his duties as treasurer May
/.
J. R. Harmon's predicament was
worse. With month left to serve
as county treasurer he was up
against the necessity of qualifying
for auditor, to which post he was
elected last fall.
The puzzle was solved thus:
Mr.. Harmon resigned as treasurer
and qualified as auditor, while the
commissioners appointed Mr.. Fiske
county treasurer for a month, that is
until he begins the regular term.

At any rate, he is still neart- VII ole
