Marshal Chang-Tso-lin to operate a

Mukden as his capital. But Chang
Tso-lin, only one man after all in

we see this Chinese military man

Japan. He likes neither but can see
no alternative under the circug>

MINNESOTA GRADUATING
CLASSES GET FACTS ON
ssSTAY VEST DRIVE

1
Graduating classes in Mime
sofa high schools this June will
be given the spirit of the Stay
AT Home" movement which has
actuated the formation of many
Stay West clubs throughout
the Northwest. Mr.. j. E. Meyers,
former mayor of Minneapolis, adj
dressed the Howard Lake high
school on June End, the Lake City
high school on June 18th, and will
address the Elbow Lake on June
I7th, making the principal theme
of his discourse the Stay West"
movement.
Mr.. Meyers emphasized the
fact that while the distant view
is often fairest, if the young man
or woman will lower his or her
gaze little many golden oppor-
tunities are to be found on Min
nesota farms and in Minnesota
cities which are awaiting the en-
thusiasm and the energy of those
just out of school. One industry
alone which is just coming into
prominence in Minnesota, that is
the entertainment of summer vi
sitors and the promotion of tour
ist travel will eventually provide
opportunities for hundreds of
persons, Mr.. Meyers said.
On recent trip through the
state Mr.. Meyers was surprised
to learn of the active business
in smaller cities and the increased
building programs everywhere.
Only in a few places was activity
less than in 1925 and in most
cases both agricultural and in re-
tail centers actual business and
prospects were as good as in the
boom year of 1920. These con-
ditions have been brought about
by the hard work and the opti-
mism of the men and women
who stayed West with confidence
in their communities and the
pluck to develop resources right
under their own noses. And to
the young man who Stays West,
whether he becomes a farmer or
business man, opportunities are
brighter than anywhere in the
United States at the present
time, says Mr.. Meyers.
In speaking of agriculture, it
was Mr.. Meyers contention that
inasmuch as transportation and
public utilities companies are
given franchises guaranteeing
them a profit, it is just as rea-

MUST GIVE TO GET

To the Editor of the. Atlantic
This Dilemma of Thrift dis
cussed in your April number, is
not new. Long ago it engaged
the attention of Solomon and,
wisely, he wrote: There is that
scattereth, and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, but it tendeth
to poverty. Which goes to en-
phasize the great law Of Com
pensation, and it's counterpart:
a price must be paid for every
thing.
No man can beat the game of
life. There is no such thing as
something for nothing. We must
give to get, sow to reap, seek to
find. No investment-no divi-
dends No advertising mo trade.
No buyers no sellers, no sales,
and no business. The miser is an
enemy of the general welfare,
and his own likewise.
There is probably no better
illustration of scattering and yet
increasing than of money spent
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-06-10

for advertising At first blush
it seems just like buying blue
sky, and yet under modern scien-
tific methods it is not an expense
but an investment and may be
carried as such on the balance
sheet. The most spectacular ex-
ample the business world has
ever known probably, is the case
of the Dodge car. Fifty millions
for good will created mainly by
advertising in few brief years.
So far as the Individual is con-
cerned the problem is not so
much one of thrift or of spend
ing as of common sense. What
is needful is a well arranged bud
get that maintains at nice. bal
ance all the different phases of
the disposition of ones income.
A judicious scattering or spend
ing, and withholding or saving
of what is meet
The circumstances and condi-
lions of different persons are so
various that no detailed rules can
be made which will fit every case.
Each must be the judge and ar
bitter of his own programme and
the result will be according to
his wisdom or lack of it.
