Pine county has more herds ac-
credited or under the process
generalization than any other
county outside the area-testing
counties; this fact is a result Of
the work done by Mr.. Idtse, the
former county agent.
Then as minor projects. but
not of less Importance, are the
Boys and Girls club work;
marketing. dealing with potatoes
and cooperative creamery con-
tracts; and rutabagas. The speak
err stated that Baron Co.. Wis.
and Pine Co. are the greatest
rutabaga areas; some plan Of
unison should be worked out.
Last but not least, there is the
home demonstration which Mrs.
Retteg was presenting in the
other room.
Mr.. Balmer took up the details
Of the Farm Bureau program as
presented by Mr.. Hammargren.
This part of the meeting was
quite informal; the men raised
questions and made suggestions.
The financing Of the farm de-
velopment with reference to Sc
curing explosives is in the hands
Of the First State Bank. II was
suggested to carry on four alfalfa
demonstrations. two on light and
two on heavy soil. Axel Buck

About twenty-five women and
thirty men found their way to
the Askov school, Saturday after
noon to attend the Farm Bureau
meeting. The weather was
almost ideal thus this was not a
contributing factor in the size Of
the audience. Three speakers
were present, Mrs. F. A. Retteg,
farmers wife from Mora, ad-
dressed the women while Mr..
Balmer and Mr.. Hammargren
talked TO the men. The speakers
were given close attention and
much interest in the work was
manifested.
The county agent, Mr.. Ham,
mergren, outlined the extension
work in the county for the COM
ing year. Five projects will be
stressed. First, the farm devel-
opment. The speaker pointed
out that the 1854 farms in the
county purchased last year COM
mercial feeds to the value Of over
s132,915.00. about $3.50 of the
amount these farms received for
butterfat. To produce this
amount of feed 1000 acres addi-
tional should be cultivated. hence
more land must be cleared. Two
carloads of war explosives have
been placed in the county but
much more is needed. Alfalfa
can be grown successfully in
Pine county with proper treat
ment.
A second project, live stock
improvement, will be carried on
through changing productive
sires. organization of contrasting
associations, introduction of more
purebred cattle. and area-tuber
culin testing. Mr.. Hammargren
stated that the county is in
greater need of better cows /
rather than more cows. Today

NEXT PIT. MEETING
ON FRIDAY, DEC. IA

A varied program is being Of
fered at the next parent-teachers
meeting in Askov on Friday eve
ming, Dec. Ia. An attempt was
made to secure DR.. Lockhead
who is in the public health work
over the state, as speaker for this
meeting. but he cannot come be-
fore the January meeting. How
ever there will be some discussion
on health anyway and Supt. F.
Clarey Nielsen will introduce the
subject of goitres and dyphtheria.
There will be short musical pro-
gram and the question box will
be in operation.
Following questions will be
discussed:
Would it not be better to con-
duct every other PIT. meeting on
Saturday afternoon instead of
Friday evening?
What do you consider the chief
essentials of a good teacher? One
writer has said that personality is
more important than scholarship.
Is this true?
What. in your judgment, is re-
sponsible for the attitude some
pupils take in looking on the
teacher as a natural enemy and
feel it a personal triumph if they
succeed in playing some trick
without being discovered?
All parents and adults are well
come to the meeting.

MESSAGE OF
PRESIDENT
BY WILLIAM L. DALEY
National Editorial Association

Washington. Dec. 5.-President
Coolidge's first annual message
to Congress was delivered in-u
equivocal terms. Even his most
severe critics admit that no
strained Interpretation is needed
to ascertain the Chief Executives
position on current, political and
economic issues. The fact that
Mr.. Coolidge showed no appre-
hension in drawing the fire of
formidable legislative blocs has
apparently revived the waning
faith in his forcefulness and
leadership.
Condensing his pithy message
of five thousand words into a
few paragraphs, the conclusion is
unacceptable that the new Presi-
dent has emerged from his shell
of cautious inactivity. Political
observers are generally agreed
that Mr.. Coolidge has defined
his views on controversial ques-
tons in a manner which admits
no doubt. Characteristically
practicing strict economy in the
use of words, the President de-
clared that he is opposed to the
granting of bonus, favors the
Mellon plan for tax reduction
and approves a world court, pro-
vided it is divorced from the
League of Nations. He made it
clear that the farmers should
make a more determined effort
to work out their own salvation
rather than project themselves
into the arms of the Nation as a
whole, as supplicants. for Federal
aims or subsidy. Mr.. Coolidge
defended the budget system and
threw down the challenge to
those proposing to restore the
"pork-barrel system of appro-
priations.
Nobody questions the factthat
the President has made himself
decidedly unpopular with the

out to Congress that for the
most part agriculture is success

value from about $500. 000. 900
two years ago to about $1,000

range cattle are still low in price
and some sections of the wheat

Dakota. and on west, have many

Chief Executive believes that
diversification Of crops is ncces-
sary because the distress is most
acute among those wholly de-
pendent upon one crop" He OBJ

ence of the government in the
problem of exporting wheat and
indicated that farmers must not
expect unstinted financial assist
ance from the public Treasury or
a government plan for fixing
wheat prices. The remedy, in
the opinion Of the President. re.
mains with the farmer. As to re-
lief measures for agriculture. Mr.,
Coolidge expressed the view that
indirectly the farmer must be
relieved by reduction of nation,
al and local taxation. He must
be assisted by the reorganization
of the freight rate structure
which could reduce charges on his
production. To make this fully
effective there ought to be rail
road consultations. Cheaper fer
tilizers must be provided"

HINCKLEY /. o. O. F.
LODGE ENTERTAINS
Members from Surrounding
Lodges Enjoy Booster
Meeting.

About twelve members of the
Askov Oddfellow lodge journeyed
to Hinckley Monday evening to
attend the booster meeting to
which all the surrounding lodges
had been invited.
The regular rooms of the
Hinckley lodge were turned into
a banquet hall as they would
have been entirely too small for
the meeting. The moving picture
hall had been secured for the
evening and with a little rear
rangement of seats, ETC., was
turned into nice lodge room.
At nine o'clock all the seats
were filed with visitors from
Pine City. Brook Park. Mora,
Sandstone and Askov as well as
local members. Immediately
after the meeting had been open
ed in regular form by the Hinck-
ley officers the lodge was turned
over to the Pine City degree team
who then conferred the initiatory
degree on candidates desiring 10
become members.
1t is only eight months since
the lodge at Pine City was insti-
tuted; with this in mind it must
be said that the degree team did
very well. With continued inter
est and enthusiasm such as was
displayed by the degree team, the
Pine City lodge is bound to grow
and prosper.
1t was originally planned to
put on another degree but as it
got too late the meeting was
closed and all repaired to the BAN
quet rooms. With the able assist
ance Of several members from
the Hinckley Rebekah lodge a
fine banquet was given, and those
who partook of it will long re-
member the fine chicken soup
The tables were neatly laid and
everything went like a real big
city banquet, finishing up with
coffee and cookies, ice cream and
cigars.
When it was made sure that
everyone was filled to capacity
Noble Grand Reinhold took
charge as POSTMASTER and called
for short talks from members OF
visiting lodges, to which many
responded.
The final speaker of the eve.
ming was Past Grand Master M
H. McDivitt of Minneapolis. who
had been invited for the purpose
of explaining the benefits of an
Encampment. Mr.. McDivitt is
also Grand Scribe of the Patri.
archal branch of Oddfellowship
and in his usual quiet and able
manner spoke for an hour or 50
on the benefits of this degree.
The main purpose of his talk
was to create interest and secure
charter members for the Encamp-
ment which will be instituted at
Hinckley on Saturday. Dec. 8.
Each Encampment is made up
of subordinate lodge members
from several surrounding lodges
and the one to be instituted Sa-
turday at Hinckley will comprise
Pine City, Brook Park, Sandstone
and Askov. Several of the visit
ors signed up to become charter
members and in all probability
Hinckley win have a strong Pa
triarchal branch.
Hitherto the nearest Encamp-
ments have been at Moose Lake
