Mr.. Jensen, that you are a bit too

Of 7. B. testing have altered my

subscribing to a fund toward re-
establishing the heavy losers. l

little in tea or coffee to make it
slip down better. In my physi-

tobacco are injurious to health.
And still doctors go right on us
ing it, setting an example before
others. II they are so anxious to
stamp out diseases, why indulge
in these unnecessary articles of
diet?
Il reaflirm my statement, that
T, B. testing as it is being carried
on, is the rankest kind of in
justice, and oppression. Let the
Government test each and every
herd, and replace COW for COW.

SENATOR JOHNSON
ENTERTAINS WELL

U. S. Senator Magnus Johnson
proved himself to be quite an
entertainer when he spoke at the
third annual picnic of the far
mer's cooperative creamery at
Denham last Thursday. He did
not say very much about politics
but dwelt largely on farmers
co-operatives and told a story
now and then to keep his large
audience in good humor. He
spoke about having mingled with
the President, his Cabinet, MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps and
others prominent nationally and
internationally but added. they
are no more than common clay,

PROMINENT SANDSTONE
MAN Is LAID TO REST

The funeral of Albert Edstrom,
for "a years resident of Sand
some, was held in that village last
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Edstrom
had suffered with kidney trouble
the last few years and died Tues
day of last week at Duluth hos
pital following an operation.
He was a painter by trade but
was also much interested in
music, last year playing valve
trombone with Sandstone-Askov
band at the joint concerts. AS an
old settler he was well known
and was of a kind and cheerful
disposition.
The Pine County Courier
writes in part concerning Mr.. Ed
strom as follows:
Albert Valentine Edstrom was
born in farmland, Sweden, on
February 18th. 1871. In 1890 he
was among the very early set
tiers here at Sandstone. He sur
vived the great Hinckley fire and
has made his home here ever
since. In 1900 he was united in
marriage to Miss Lena Erickson.
to which union seven children
were born.
He leaves to mourn his I'M
timely death his wife; five chill
dren. Maybelle. Albert. Leslie,
Lloyd and Marvin: five brothers,
Bror Of Canada, Louis of Sank
Rapids, Charles Of this place,
John of Kelsey, and Dan of
Sweden; and four sisters, Mrs.
Gust Johnson of Duluth, Mrs.
Anna Nelson of Grantburg, Mrs.
Lille Bergvall who is on her way
here from Sweden, and Mrs.
Christina Nelson of Sweden"

ley Increase Entire Program
in Like Proportion.

Travelling on hundred rail-
road cars carrying more than
1000 people-including 800 of
the greatest men and women
stars ever assembled-the Ring
ling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Combined Shows will exhibit in
Duluth, Aug. 9.
The 1924 program Of the Great
est Show on Earth introduces a
policy of augmentation in every
department. For the first time
in history FIVE troupes of per-
forming elephants are presented
in place of three. These number
three companies of giant tuskers
in the rings and two herds of
baby elephants on steel-struc-
tured stages. Splendid troupes
of trained Russian stations have
been added to the European
equine displays. and menage and
high-school horse numbers in
creased in like proportion.
Equestrianism is one of the
outstanding features. May
Wirth, the greatest of all bare
back riders; the entire Wirth
family, the hurricane comedy
rider, Phil the marvel, the
Rieffenach Sisters, performing
sensational acrobatic feats on
running horses, but suggest the
calibre of the more than seventy
equestrians presented. No less
amazing are the scores of modern
physical culture champions who
perform aloft in the mammoth
big-top. Berta Beeson, premier
artist, leads an entire
congress of mid-aerial stars.

it worth while. He also said

Opinions of Others
REAFFIRMS STATEMENT ON
T. Il. TESTING
Editor Askov American:


In one of my first letters TO
this column | stated that coop
Grafton is not the remedy for the
plight the farmer is in or has
been in. | said that nothing can
be said or done to benefit the far
mer until. first: The American
banking system has been altered;
until the power of the American
Federation of Labor, and other
labor organizations has been
brought down TO the level Of an
individual citizen; until farmers
in general will farm for the pur-
pose Of enjoying a home, instead
of farming with their mind on
wealth. My view is. that If you
are farming for money. the ban
ker has you hopelessly outclassed.
My view is, that any individual
who interests himself in COM
munity development. because it
increases real estate values, is a
poor booster. For examples: il a
paved highway past my land
should raise its value from, let
us say, $500 an acre to $4,000 an
acre. in what way would the in
creased valuation benefit me, and
how could realize and derive a
benefit from such increase? Only
by selling out. for the land would
not produce more. simply because
il has a higher money valuation;
$4,000 an acre land cannot be
made to produce a profit with
crops of corn, oats or potatoes,
at present prices of these COM
modities, of farm labor, etc.
In my recent letter on T. b.
testing. | concluded with this:
You are some booster, Mr.. Jen-
sen, a bit too self assertive." Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Jensen took this as a
personal affront, Judging from
the way he retaliated. Now my
understanding of the Constitu-
ton is, it guarantees personal
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. Mr.. Jensen states that you
had better sign the I. b. con-
tracts now. for he has informa-
tion that later you will be COM
PEELED to sign and receive no COM
pensation for your reactors, other
than what they bring on the mar
ket. What now are our rights
under the Constitutional guaran-
tee; if Mr.. Jensen wants to sign. |
nave the right to prohibit him?
II | don't want to sign, has he
he right to coerce me into sign
ng? II he has the right to CO.
cree you into signing, haven't you
IN equal right to prohibit him
from signing? II not, then why
the inequality How can a citi-
zen enjoy liberty and be happy

PUBLIC SPIRITEDNESs AND
HOME TALENT

The Jens III. Jensen Post OF the
American Legion under whose
auspices the Home Talent Week
was presented in Askov, decided
at their meeting Monday evening
TO turn over 800 of the profits
from the entertainments to the
Askov Band. The total receipts
were $3.50 and there was a profit
of a little over 800. Whatever
is left over will be used TO furth-
err next years Home Talent
Week, the Legion having decided
to make il an annual event.
Their gift to the band shows
their public spiritedness and a
desire to further an organization
which aids in community life. It
is needless TO say that the band
boys are pleased at the recogni-
ton and the money can always
be used to good advantage in
purchasing music and occasion
ally an instrument.
The attendance at the second
performance Of Little Women"
Friday evening--was about $50
and with an attendance of 1900
the first four nights made a total
of 2,650-a good showing for
the first attempt at presenting
something locally on the order Of
chautauqua.
Whether or not all the enter
tainments We're enjoyed and APP
preciated is of course more for
disinterested parties to say but !
judging by the attendance and
comments heard it went over big.
For one thing the Home Tai
emit Week was not stingy with its
number of performers. The first |
night the band concert there
were about 90 taking part; sec
ond night Minstrel Show. about
20; third night--lecture and or
chestra 9; final entertainment
Little Women"--1i on the
stage and 3 in the orchestra. This
makes a total of ~ performers
while in a four day chautauqua
coming TO small towns there are
usually from Is TO % performers
altogether.
OF course some of the travel
ing chautauqua talent is far
above local talent il is
usually only one night of it-a
kind Of headliner. The bulk Of
it can be duplicated in many
communities. II only seems a
little hard to realize that those
with whom we rub shoulders
daily should be able to perform
on the stage. Hang Prince Al
bert suit on him or an evening
gown on her and folks will pay
good U. S. money TO see ard hear
them where they are not known.
Anyway this bunk about small
towns whitening and dying off if
not fed up with some high priced
travelling chautauqua does not 90
well with people in a place where
n Home Talent Week was pre-
sented with the success it was
here.
