CANNING FACTORY
EXPERT TO SPEAK
Mr.. Barr of st. Cloud, Will
Address Askov Meet
ing October II.

Four Askov farmers accompa-
MED by II. H. Budke of St. Paul,
the man who is arranging for the
erection of canning factories at
Askov and Pine City, and his
daughter, motored over to St.
Cloud last Saturday to inspect
the canning factory there and
made arrangements with Mr..
Barr, the man in charge there, to
give a talk at Askov next Satur-
day evening, Oct. IL. The meet
ing will be held at the ID. B. S.
hall and will commence at s
o'clock. Mr.. Barr will talk about
the growing of peas. the factory
operation and other phazes Of
the industry, as well as answer
questions. Likely others will al
so be there to speak.
The Askov farmers who visited
the st. Cloud factory were Hans
Clausen, Christian Sorensen, N.
p. Nedegaard and Chris Morgen-
sen. They have many viners in
the st. Cloud neighborhood and
the peas are brought to the fac
tory in trucks. The business was
established in 1919-beginning in
a small way-the factory now
employs several hundred people
and extensive additions have
been decided upon. Aside from
canning peas-corn. beans and
sauer kraut are also handled.
One 81. Cloud farmer told the
Askov folks that many farmers
there had gotten in over 500 per
acre on peas this year. The visi-
tors from Askov felt well repaid
in making the trip and are of the
opinion that a canning factory
will be a good thing for this
community.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Judging
from the number of complaints
received here of late the public
has become satiated with at
tempts of Government bureaus
and legislators to distribute
ready-made opinions. Impartial
inquiry. giving few sidelights,
shows that this practice is expen-
sive and practically worthless.
The products of the government
printing press and mimeograph
intended primarily for the edifi-
cation of the nations citizens,
especially those of voting age, it
is said. do nothing more than
clutter up waite baskets and add
materially to the cost of operat-
ing the government. 1t is the
growing mania on the part of Of
fice-holders of all parties for per-
sonal publicity which is respon-
sible for distribution of non-es-
sential information.
Some idea of the enormous
waste may be CLEANED from Of
fetal reports of the Public Prin-
ter which show that approx
mately 100000 publications
were sent out on free mailing
lists as ordered by Federal de-
partments last year. The aver
age citizen has little or no use
for the documents which pour in
to his mail box from congressman
and government departments. 1t

EARLY INDIANS
CRAZED BY DRINK

After singing two congs an
nounced by the new president.
Hans Mosbmk. members Of the
Young Peoples Society and
others listened to a talk by L. c.
Petersen. who commenced by
telling of Minnesota's early
history at the assembly hall Sun
day evening.
Mr.. Petersen said that two
Indian tribes--the Chippewas
and the Siouxs played an impor-
tant part in the states early
history-the Chippewas coming
here from the east, along the
Great Lakes and the Sioux from
the south. up the Mississippi
river.
They did not agree and bad
feeling existed between the two
tribes. A government agent had
been sent to intervene and make
peace. The two tribes were to-
gether for the time being, enjoy
ing war dances. races, athletics
and various contests. They were
parting again and had nearly all
left when a fight was started by
a few of the remaining. Hurried
ly they all returned and a battle
royal was on, the Sioux being VIC
torious. With a little whisky adj
ded which they secured from the
white settlers sold profitably to
the Indians-they became almost
crazed and all the more eager to
fight. The Chippewas at one
time lived at Pokegema lake in
Pine county.
When the Indians saw whiskey
in the possession Of whites they
wanted it and got it at any cost.
Mr.. Petersen said that the down
fall of the Indians was the desire
for whiskey and fight, adding that
those things have also hindered
the white race. But he also stat
ed that there has been great
strides forward with desire to
clean out alcoholic drinks, al
though it may take another gen.

folly of it. Likewise war. About

sidered so bad TO be drunk and
was quite a common occurrence.
people then even Dragged Of it
but each decade saw improve
ment and more self respect, and
about 20 years ago it was no
