DESIRE CORRECTION

Editor Askov American:
At the last meeting of Jens H.
Jensen Post, American Legion,
held April 9Th, the following COM
munication was presented by a
member, read up, and | was di-
rected, by unanimous agreement
of all members present, to pre-
sent copy to you:
Perhaps the most empty
word in the American language is
the word Honor. Any Ex-serv-
ice man will testify to the fact
that it is an empty phrase, at
least in America today. How
ever, as Roosevelt remarked:
The man, or group of men, that
allow themselves to be imposed
upon are fools indeed. There
fore, on behalf of the American
Legion Post of Askov, kindly al
low the following correction:
The Chautauqua or Home
Talent Week as it was called,
was put on under the auspices Of
the local Post last year, after the
business men Of the town had
failed to agree and had decided
that a success could not be made
of the idea. Likewise, imme-
diately after the entertainments
of last season the LEGION
members met and decided TO put
on a bigger and better attraction
this year. Tentative plans were
discussed at that time.
The members of the local Post
of the American Legion are GER
tainly all very grateful to Mr..
V. S. Petersen for acting as chair
man of the committee in charge
last year. and for the great
amount of work he did, and also
for the work he has accomplished
this year; however, MR.. PETER
SEN DID NOT PUT ON THE
HOME TALENT WEEK LAST
YEAR, NOR is MR.. PETERSEN

SEVERAL BUILDINGS TO

From present indications Sand
stone will rise from the ashes"
this spring and summer. A num-
Der of business buildings were
burned the past winter which
will be replaced with more mod

ports as follows:
Everything now indicates that
Sandstone Is to have a real building
boom this spring as several new and
up-to-date business places are al
ready assured and others are being
contemplated. Among those that are
now practically certain are as fol-
lows: A large double store by C. j.

place OF the clothing store and meat

a few weeks ago. Mrs. A. C. Win

The first point is that the eff

extent on the quality Of the blood

He did not minimize the benefits

these did more harm than good.

The following is from the Independ- ent Squawk, a paper published aboard the Victoria on one of her recent voy- ages north:
 Tt was the summer of 1922 when Douglas Fairbanks rode into Nome on a White Horse. Here he met Ruby, a beautiful daughter of Nome. A whirlWind courtship followed. He had a Skagway about him and was willing to Teller anything Juneau he won her. They were married by St. Michael at Holy Cross. Now it is learned that the wedding was a fake, just a Bluff He cast her from his home clad only in an East Cape A Council was called in Nome and the Marshall is hard on his Trail.

WORLD MAY EXPECT
 DRY SPELL COMING
 YEAR, SAY SCIENTISTS

LONDON, Jan. 14.-The year 1925 will be the driest the universe has experienced this century, an off cial of the British Meteorological De- partment told the Associated Press in explanation of new discovery which departmental experts have re- gently made and which, it is declar- ed, enables them to pick out the wet and dry years to come.
 St. Swithin will have twelve months of large scale unemployment after Christmas, the department has em- phatically predicted, and the drought to come will not only dry up these soggy islands, but extend to the rest of the world.
 This statement was made after much study on the part of weather scientists and as the result of the discovery that a close connection exists between rainfall, particularly in Great Britain, and the frequency of solar prOmlnenceS. 1ne ldllel are explained to be the tongues of flaming gas that dart out from the suns surface, sometimes to a height of 25O,OOO miles and at a speed ot more than 15O miles an hour.
 Experts have spent three years studying the relation of this phenom- enon with the fall of rain and have learned that the interval between the
Seward daily gateway., 1925-01-15

dates when these giant fireworks sively shorter during the last half century, while the periodicity of wet years in England has shown a cor responding change. The mathemat- ical curves indicate relationship that is too definite to be overlooked, say the department chiefs.
 This relativity is nothing new. It was noticed about 1865, and for the next 25 years, every fifth year in England was wet, the other four being dry and normal. All this time the solar prOminences were appearing regularly and normally. At the end of the 25 years the flames appeared oftener and continued to appear at regular intervals for 20 years, when every third year was wet. From 1910 to 1921 the flames were more active and alternate years were wet and dry.
 The droughty year of 1921 appears to have been the turning point, for now the department experts have figured out that for the next period of increased solar activity the years will be in cycles of three, two wet years and one dry one. The year 1Q22 is rockOned as the last year on the late period, therefore the years 1923 and 1924 have been the wet ones and 1925, if any faith can be placed in the constancy of the solar prom inences of the sun, should be a dry enc in England and a droughty one for the rest of the world.
