Washington. Feb. Git be-
comes Increasingly apparent that
the average citizen must exercise
moderation in judgments of men
and affairs primarily as duty
to the nation. Impartially con-
sidered. the rumors emanating
from this city have a tendency
to destroy order and public con-
fidence in that by repetition it
takes on the appearance of
probability. The danger lies in
the alarming character of rumors
rather than from the actual dis
covery of facts relating to wrong
doing in office. Meanwhile. the
government continues to func-
ton with attentiveness toward
the public Indignation aroused by
the oil scandals.
To analyze and dissect the po-
litical rumors now afloat in all
parts of the country requires
nothing more than consideration
for the rules in political ethics
that I'VE find great laxity as to
the obligation of veracity in

PINE COUNTY GETS
REQUIRED ACREAGE
Will Have Local Organiza-
ton of Minnesota Pota-
to Growers Exchange.

The potato meeting held at
Askov Saturday afternoon for
the purpose of securing more
signers on the contracts Of the
Minnesota Potato Growers Ex-
change was well attended and IS
more farmers were signed up
that day making total Of about
100 farmers in the vicinity Of
Askov who are now members of
the exchange.
The meeting at Askov was adj
dressed by S. G. Rubinow, state
organization manager, as was al
so a well attended meeting at
Pine City the evening before.
Pine county has gone over the
top and a county organization is
assured.
Organizations have come and
gone and whether this organiza-
ton will be success and attain
the goal that is hoped for re-
mains to be seen; and whether
or not a farmer attending those
meetings signed up. there is no
doubt but that he got many good
points on farmers organizations
and cooperative movements in
the very able talks given by Mr..
Rubinow. As the speaker said:
we must profit by the mistakes
Of the past. Anyone hearing
Mr.. Rubinow could not help but
be impressed with the very can
did manner in which he spoke,
none Of this camouflaging and
patting on the back stuff. but he
came right out and told from his
experiences where the difficult
ties were and the reasons for
the failure Of so many farmers
organizations. in no manner
sparing those whom he was en-
deavoring to secure as members.
County Agent Hammargren
and c. E. Coste Of Rush City. a,
feldman. were also present at
these meetings. Mr.. Coste jour-
neycd on to Bruno the next day
and in days time signed up an
additional acreage Of 200 in that.
