THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, November IA.

Happy conditions attend tomorrow.
according to astrology. Venus, the
sun and Jupiter are all in benef1c
aspect.
1t is a time most auspicious for
love affairs. and engagements made
under this rule should be followed by
uncommonly happy marriages.
There is promising sign for oil
entertainment of the lighter sort.
Meetings Of friends are well directed.
The clergy should benefit under this
sway. which inclines people toward
religious obServanceS.
There is promising sign for chari-
ties and philanthropies. Generosity
may be more general than usual
under this rule.
New spiritual leaders will appear,
but old faiths will remain and they
will be strengthened. astrologers fore
tell.
This is All auspicious day for visit
ing ones friends. especially those
bound to one by business or family
ties.
It is supposed TO be easier to shed
troubles when certain Of tomorrow
aspects prevail. Both men and women
should be unusually cheerful.
Revival of a general interest in
spiritual lnlnSS mas been frequently
foretold. The Pacific Coast is to be-
come a mecca for many religious
leaders.
The aspects favor. the children Of
the land. who are to command more
and more protection and aid from the
Government, which will realize that
they are the nations greatest asset.
At this time the inhabitants Of the
earth are to begin to realize that even
those who have attained the greatest
progress are still barbarians, astrolo.
gers foretell.
New standards for thought and
action are to be inculcated before the
, halfcentury mark is reached, the
seers prophesy.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be careful in all their business affairs
during the coming year.
Children born on that day probably
will attain success. but prosperity will
come through their own efforts, for
they will profit little from luck.

COMPREHENSION
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE

In spite of the poor condition
of the roads and the threatening
snow the Cloverton high school
debating team, accompanied by
the coach, Miss Vanderbilt, and
Supt. Otto Hack, Jr., rolled into
Askov Friday at about 11:30.
They were directed at once to
the comfortable home of Chr.
Sorensen where both teams were
served a very fine dinner.
The question for debate was:
Resolved. That Congress shall
have the power to limit, regulate
and prohibit the labor of per-
sons under eighteen years of age.
2. That the power Of the several
states is unimpaired by this
article, except that the operation
of state laws shall be suspended
Mo the extent necessary to give
effect to legislation enacted by
the Congress. The affirmative
speakers were Eleanor Newcomb,
Jack Hartshorn and Jessie Busby;
the negative was upheld by
Thyra Sorensen, Werner. johnson
and Carrie Feldtmose. AS judges
had been chosen w. F. Hammar-,
gren of Hinckley, P. L. Hamlin
of Pine City, and Supt. G. K. Gil
bertson of Hinckley.
Cloverton opened the debate.
Eleanor Whitcomb started by
outlining the major points which
her side would stress: 1. FEEDER
al legislation was necessary for
health and education. 2. The
states have failed to meet the
issue. 3. The nation will be
strengthened.
Thyra Sorensen led off on the
negative side with a concise
statement of the negative issues:
1. The need for regulation is
not so great as supposed and the
states are meeting the situation.
2. Federal legislation is unde-
sirab'e because it violates state
rights, it is Capitalization Of
power and creates more bureaus.

FARM BUREAU MEETING
This Will be of Special Interest
to All Dairymen.

Another meeting of particular
interest to the agricultural inter
ests of the community, Askov
town hall Thursday, Feb. Is, at
100 p. m. Without lime, the
legume, alfalfa, does not thrive
so well; without alfalfa the dali
ry ration is rather expensive.
With lime, along with proper
incubation and proper. seedbed,
alfalfa can thrive here; with
alfalfa, protein in the ration is
supplied comparatively cheaply.
Mr.. Ctim, soil and legume spe-
cialist from the College of Agri-
culture will be present to discuss
Lining of Soils, Alfalfa, and
Commercial Fertilizers. Mr.. w.
F. Hammargren, our energetic
county agent, will be present.
Alfalfa growers, come out and
add your experience to the meet
ing. Prospective alfalfa growers
and alfalfa doubters. here is an
opportunity to hear the subject
presented in a practical and con-
crete way. Remember the day,
the time and the place and ar
range to be there from the
beginning.

3. Federal legislation does not re-
move, the causes of child labor,
hence reforms are necessary to
remove the causes.
Each side presented the evil
dence on these issues fairly we'll.
Much preparation for this contest
was very evident. No doubt the
weakest point was the rebuttal.
But as a whole it was very good
debate indeed, when it is consid-
cred that both schools was in de-
batting for the first year. Both
schools should do better next
year. The decision of the judges
was two in favor of the negative
and one for affirmative.
A fair-sized audience was pres
ent to enjoy the intellectual COM
bat. Music was furnished: Cor
net solo by Sigvard Sorensen;
piano solo by Gertrude Kilstofte;
cornet duet by Sigvard Sorensen
and Hans Nielsen; violin solo by
Erling Nielsen, who responded
to an encore. Piano accompaai-
ment to the various numbers was
played by Gertrude Kilstofte and
Margaret Schroeder.
On the following evening Sand
stone H. S. and Brook Park H. S.
met on the same question at
Sandstone. Brook Park won a
unanimous decision on the affirm
alive side. The final contest for
county championship will be be-
tween Brook Park and Askov.
Arrangements for this are under
way. -

.LENT-MONDAY WAS
GREATLY ENJOYED

The "Fastelavns Glide" at the
D. B. S. hall Monday evening
was attended by about four hun
dred people, and it was very evil
dent that the evening was en-
joyed from start to finish. Svend
Petersen took the Kings" part
and also announced the various
numbers on the program and bid
the audience welcome.
Peter Hermansen, j. X. Larsen
and V. S. Petersen acted the part
of clowns, causing considerable
merriment throughout the eve
ming, tho also sang a couple of
songs written by Mr.. Larsen.
Knocking the cat out of the bar
rel took considerable time and the
final honor went to Emery Nede-
gard who, according to the old
custom, was crowned Cat King
and carried in golden" chair
several times around the room
with the king, clowns and all
others dressed in costumes march
ing in procession with him. Jens
Henriksen sang a couple of old
time songs and Julius Petersen
played on his so-called potato"
which was well received. Eight
older couples danced two dances
that were in style a number of
years ago in the old country and
they surely surprised the audi
ence with the way they were able
TO get around. j. K. Larsen, N.
P. Nedegaard, Jens Henriksen
and R. S. Rasmussen sang a song
written especially for the occa-
sion by the latter.
Following the program coffee
and lunch was served after which
dancing was enjoyed for about
two hours. C. P. Christensen
and Geo. c. Jensen furnished old
time music for the dance. Young
and old alike took an active part.
The success of the evening is
due to so many working eagerly
and comparatively together, In
short it was a general community
affair. Apparently there is a
great desire for making it an
annual event.

"Our best hopes for the able
bodied, virile Navajo is that he
may come into possession of no
money which he does not earn. Let
his oil and coal royalties go to
support the aged and infrm of his
race, if need be; for the schooling
of his children, and for public i'm
provements which make for the
more abundant life. Roads and
bridges which let the white man
into the Indian country also let the
Indian out into the white mans
civilization with which, willy-nilly,
he must compete. The development
of industries in the Indian country
should be welcomed because of Civ
ing him opportunity for steady and
profitable employment.
"The Indian bureau is right if,
as we understand it, it approves the
use of Indian funds for schools,
roads, and bridges in the Indian
country. We hope many Navajos
may pass over the bridge at Lees
Ferry even though it be a one-way
bridge. We trust that each one
may know where he is going and
know what he is going to do when
he gets there. We hope further,
that there may be just enough of
tribal Navajo money to provide
these fine public utilities and ser
vices with nothing left to divide" "

Although the provisions for the
construction of a bridge at Lees
Ferry, half of which was to be paid
from Navajo funds, were striken
from the first deficiency bill in the
senate and the matter is temper
arily closed, it is interesting to note
the opinion of John B. Brown, sup
erintendent of the Indian vocation
school, Phoenix, on the question
of Indian money in "The Native
Indian"
Such tribal funds as the Navajo
possess, or are likely to possess
come from the royalties on oil or
coal found on their reservation
The amount of such funds as yet
is small, but when railroads are
built into that section reaching the
oil and coal deposits, these funds
may rival in Importance those of
the Usage and other tribes of Ok
lahoma. In the handling of funds,
we take it, the Indian bureau is
seeking to avoid the disasterous re-
suits which have followed in the
wake of wealth for the Usage. No
one denies that the Usage now
