Thirty-fve young men. some of

clear up the common barberry in
these counties this year and thus
finish the Minnesota state wide
survey which was started a few
years ago. In addition. says the
state leader, resurvey work will
be done in several southern
counties for the purpose of OBJ

Black stem rust in the spring
comes only from the common
barbcrry bush. Many old world
countries have demonstrated
that to prevent rust all common
barberry bushes must be found
and destroyed. The common bar
berry is a tall, erect shrub. often
as much as IL or Ia feet high. The
bark is grayish and there are
spines along the stem. usually in
groups of three or more. The
leaves are green or purple and
have saw-tooth edges. The small
yellow flowers and bright red
berries are in long dropping clus.
tiers like currants. The japanese
barberry, which is harmless and
should not be destroyed, is a low
spreading shrub, with reddish
bark and smoothsedged leaves.

NEW GUIDE SIGNS
ON STATE ROUTES
Highway Department Post
ing More Permanent
Markers.

highway markers, gulue ana
warning signs now going up on
state trunk routes--so-called
Babcock roads-serving Pine Co.
and all other parts of the big T.
600 mile system are carefully de-
signed to serve public conven-
fence and safety, says a highway
bulletin this week.
The yellow and black signs are
being placed close to the travelled
part of the road where they will
claim attention of drivers and be
within headlight range at night.
The color combination was adopt
ed after many experiments and
on the advice of experts main
tanning that the yellow is con-
spicuous with strongest light re-
flecting quality, the bulletin
states.
Five classes of highway signs
under the Minnesota system are
all of the yellow and black COM
bination but of different shapes
and include:
Trunk Highway Markers-Yel-
low stars on black giving the of
fetal numbers of the trunk route
also R and L indicating turns. and
detour markers.
Warning Signs-Carrying such
devices as Railroad Crossing,
Cross Road, School, Curve. Loose
Gravel. New Grading and so
forth.
Guide and Information Signs
Directing traffic and giving the
names and distances of towns
ahead, also names of rivers and
lakes crossed or passed.
Restriction Signs-Giving reg
ulations governing traffic, load
ings and against parking and
dumping.
Special Markers-Mainly for
use Of highway employees but in
GLIDING those at maintenance
section limits.
The last signs will give the
names and addresses of the pa
trolmen on sections in each direc-
ton. They are intended as an aid
to designating any particular
point on route and also will at
tach the patrolman's name to his
work.
Posting of highway markers
and other signs was delayed first
pending permanent designations
of many routes and later by late
shipments of steel for the new
signs to replace those on poles
along the roads. But big lots
are going out and up on the roads
as fast as possible.

GOOD ADDRESS
ON PATRIOTISM
Delivered by Askov Pastor
at independence Day
Celebration. !

The Fourth Of July celebration
in Askov under the auspices of
the Young Peoples Society was a
success in every respect. II was
principally a local celebration,
but few from outside of the
community being present and
yet there were several hundred
people in attendance.
After three or four selections
by the Askov Band, N. c. Laur-
sen introduced the speaker Of
the day, the local pastor, 5. d.
Rodholm. The audience then
rose and sang the last stanza Of
America.
The theme of Rev. Rodholm's
address was patriotism, the
meaning Of the word how il can
best be applied and engendered
into the lives Of those to follow.
He said in part substantially a.
follows:
Speakers throughout the land
on this national holiday are
speaking on the spirit of 1776.
That spirit should be kept alive.
What is the spirit of l776? It
is at least partially given in the
Declaration of Independence.
Absolute independence does not
exist and that was not the spirit
of 1776. The interest Of human
affairs is SO closely related that
none ere absolutely independent
and the same applies to nations.
No country is Independent Of all
others. The signers Of the his
toric document--the Declaration
of Independence--didn't even
dream that this country should
be independent of England.
Political independence was all
that was wanted. America has
been and is yet dependent on
England especially for literature
and culture.
independence does not mean
isolation for isolation is an evil
thought and in time will mean
miserable dependence. There is
no absolute independence. One
can set free from all good but
will be tied to evil. Absolute
freedom is lawlessness and free
dom without law never existed.
The signers of the great document
did not want war for love Of war.
II was not the spirit of war that
prompted them nor the spirit of
peace at any price.
Rev. Rodholm said: Il will de-
nounce militarism any time. and
added that he does not believe in
the saying: I'm time of peace
prepare for war" because prepar-
ing only ends in war.
The spirit of 1776 was the
spirit of patriotism--love of
country not hate Of some other
country. The love of ones coun-
try may bring resentment of the
actions of another country but
hate will not make one a better
patriot. By country is not meant
the landscape OF scenery but the
people who dwell in it. Patrio-
tism is love of country and not
something that is forced. Why
do people love their country?
Does size inspire love? Do you
love big man more than a small
one? How about the children?
Has love anything to do with
beauty, size, strength and abil-
ity? You may admire greatness
but admiration is not love or pa
triotism. You may admire Napo-
leon but not love him.
Lives there a man with soul so
dead.
Who never TO himself has said,
This Is my own. my native land"
Why do we love the home we

ASKOV WINS
FROM DANBURY
Simonsen, Olsen and Slott
Take Part in
Sports

The Askov ball team journeyed
over to Markville on the Fourth
to face the strong Danbury team.
The gate receipts at the game
were to be split 500 to the win
ners and 1919 to the losers. By
a safe margin the local boys
brought back the long end of the
deal-the score being 10 to 3 in
favor of Askov.
Jens Hyldahl did the pitching
and was very effective striking
out II men in eight innings and
allowing only 13 men to get on
bases, 3 of whom were success
full in getting way around, part
ly on errors and partly on hits.
In the fifth Danbury had a man
on third and one on second but
the round ended with a strike
out.
Carl Hyldahl pitched the last
inning by request of the Mark
vile boys as they had heard he
was very fast-only four men
faced him.
The Askov boys played very
good game and were heavy on
the bat which coupled with seve-
raj errors by Danbury gave them
the ten runs.
A good crowd was on hand to
see the game-317 tickets being
sold. Our boys report that
Markville extended them royal
treatment and that Danbury is
a fine bunch of boys to play with
no rag chewing whatever.
Ed Olson, Askov, and Tom
Hogan, Belden. did the umpiring
in professional style, standing
behind the catcher, and none of
their decisions were disputed.
The score by innings:
Danbury 90 3 900 o. 8
