This is an old one, selected
from an up-to-the-minute ex-
change. but since it couldn't pos
sibly have been told more than
eighteen hundred years ago, and
as quite a few have been born
since then who haven't heard it,
we offer this as an apology for
repeating it:
An evangelist announced to the
congregation that on the follow
ing evening he would preach on
thSsubject of Liars" In prep
aration for the sermon he re-
quested his hearers to read the
18th chapter of Mark.
The following evening he be-
gan: AS announced last night,
| shall speak this evening on
Liars. But first | want to know
how many of you have read the
18th chapter of Mark, as | re-
quested.
A hundred or more hands shot
up in all parts of the church.
Good exclaimed the evange-
list, beaming with qualification.
Il am glad to see so many of you
here, You are the very people |
want to talk to, There is no 18th
chapter of Mark. Exchange.

A DEFINITE GOAL

Those who believe that taxes
are too high must study taxes.
Merely to protest against them
is useless. Merely to become en-
ragged about the family budget is
a fruitless proceeding. He who
would reduce his budget first
studies it, knows exactly where
it overruns proper appropria-
tions, determines what he is rea-
dy to get along without, and then
proceeds to slash, knowing what
he is slashing.
Men and women ought to be-
gin now to study taxes and
should be ready before the next
legislature meets. To wait until
a grist of hit and miss bills again
appears on the legislative floor
and then shout wildly against
those bills, will not lead to con-
structive legislation or reduction
of Minnesota's tax burden.

one else and yet every individual
fills place-a place which in the
hearts of some people can be
filled by none others.
Maren Hoi Petersen was born
on Aug. 2, 1912, in Hanning Sogn,
Vest Upland, Denmark, and at
death was approaching the ripe
age of SO. She was married in
1878 to Esper Petersen, a
widower, who died in 1885. Mrs.
Petersen was left with three
children--two boys being from
her husbands former marriage.
In 1910 she and her only
daughter, then known as Maren
Vesterager. came to America
settling at Viborg, S. d., where
the latter married Jens Henrik

A soldiers bonus bill has final
ly been enacted into law by Con-
gress in spite of the veto by
President Coolidge. While not
as much as was originally plan
ned for the soldiers it will how
ever involve a considerable ex-
penditure, but it is a question
how much good it will accom-
plish at this late date more
than five years after the war
ceased. If the soldiers needed
help to get them established and
on regular footing again it was
needed mostly right after the
war and not so much now when
things have adjusted themselves
again. The war profiteers should
have been made to pay good
soldiers bonus Immediately fol-
lowing the war If such could have
been possible Of accomplishment
and surely the masses would not
have envied the soldiers that.

sen. Mrs. Petersen remained
with the Henriksens at Viborg
and moved with them to Askov
in 1916, having since made her
home here.
Peter Petersen, step-son from
Linn Grove, Iowa, was here to
attend the funeral. l.. c. Peter
sen, the other step-son, at Story
City, Iowa, was prevented from
coming on account of his wife
having died only three weeks
ago.
Four sisters and five brothers,
all living in Denmark, are also
left to mourn her sudden de-
parture.
In spite of her advanced age
Mrs. Petersen was usually always
in good health and was of a
cheerful and entertaining nature.
She will be greatly missed by the
grandchildren in whose comfort
and happiness she took great in
terest, as will she also be missed
by other relatives and many
friends. For the past several
years there have been many
visitors at the Henriksen home
on August 2 of each year.
About two years ago she suf.
fered a paralytic stroke and
again last February another one
occurred. She recovered quite
well from both but a week before
death the final stroke came from
which she succumbed, being en-.
tirly helpless and could not
speak the last week. Apparently
however she realized what was
going on about her and recog,
nized relatives and friends who
came to render assistance. Death
occurred about $50 last Thursday
morning.
Pallbearers who carried the
body to its last resting place
were the following neighbors:

ANSWER TO QUERY;
SMALLPOX ARRESTED

The following question has
been received by the American:
Please state IN the Askov Amer
lean how much truth Is back Of the
different rumors OF smallpox around
this community.
There have been no cases of
smallpox in the immediate vicin-
ity of Askov but state health
authorities report that there
have been 48 cases of virulent
smallpox with z deaths around
Automba, near Moose Lake in
Carlton county. St. Louis coun-
ty had 1874 cases with 10 deaths.
There has been vaccinated as
never before in those localities
and the epidemic is now arrested.

MAREN PETERSEN
is LAID TO REST

The funeral Of Mrs. Maren
Petersen who died last Thursday
at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Jens Henriksen, was held
from the local Danish Lutheran
church Sunday afternoon with in
torment at the local cemetery.
Due to the absence of the resi-
dent pastor, s, ID. Rodholm the
funeral sermon was delivered by
Rev. j. l.. j. Dixen of Withee,
Wis. Among other things Rev.
Dixen brought out that in the
material world there is no one so
important or necessary but that
their place can be filled by some

Did you know that fifty years
ago there were only three men in
the United States who believed
in the commercial possibilities of
the telephone; were willing to
work for it and put money into
itg Everywhere scientists doubt
ed or derided the invention.
capitalists refused to touch il,
and the telegraph companies did
all they could to hinder the pro-
gress of the telephone and ruin
the enterprise Of the inventor.
The telephone people went
straight ahead they knew they
were on the right track. Lately
the worlds biggest. telegraph
company was absorbed and is
now managed by Theodore N,
Vail, a descendant of one of the
leaders of the same telephone
pioneers whom the telegraph
companies tried to destroy fifty
years ago.
IL your work is based on
science and conscience. the most
powerful corporations in the
world cannot bulge you from
your position. Rather, you may
reasonably expect to overwhelm
them, in the course of time

INTEREST TAKEN IN
McNARY-HAUGEN BILL

Out of l6S rural newspapers in
the state which printed the bal
lot for the McNary-Haugen
referendum, a total vote of 1926
resulted for the measure with 46
against, according to a report
just made public by the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation.
The Federation's official organ
Farm Bureau News--carried the
ballot in two issues previous to
and about the same time as il
was published in the rural press
with the result that 1882 voted
for the measure and rs against
through that medium. The fact
that the ballot was carried in the
Farm Bureau News first was of
course responsible for not so
many voting through the rural
press. The measure however has
aroused considerable interest
and the vote shows much senti-
ment for it, the total vote
through both sources being 90
59S.for and i22 against.
The average number of votes
through each rural newspaper
was 81: there were 81 voting
through the American.

President Coolidge in a recent
speech said a volume in the fol-
lowing few words: I'VE need a
faith that is broad enough to let
the people make their own mis-
takes. Let them come to
knowledge and understanding by
their own experience"

Ideas grow slowly.

Ideas grow slowly. A great
idea like that of world agreement
to live under law, which has in
terested philosophers and dream
ers for thousands of years. comes
to the masses slowly. AS an ideal
they accept it readily. and are
impatient at its failure to be-
come a reality.

State superintendent Of the Ant

the First NJ. E. church on Sunday
evening on the liquor situation as
it is at the present. He said that
the liquor interests are still organ
lied and are doing all they can to
send forth propaganda through the
newspapers and otherwise. During
the last session of congress over
fifty measures favoring the liquor
men were read for the ayOwed pur-
gose of getting them into the rec
ord and then given free circulation,
the speaker said. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Anti-saloon League to
keep up the fight as long as the
opposition is in the field.
