BY JAY LovEsToNE.

DRIOR to this year we communists
a in America called the day on which
the Declaration of independence was
signed, July fourth. 1t occupied just
the same place ideologically, polite
ally, that July fifth, or sixth, or June
thirtieth did. Until 1926 it had very
little significance as historic day for
US.
This is the first time that we speak
of the Fourth. of July. This day as
sumes real significance for us.
We must look out against any
Americanization craze in our Party.
In the bourgeois sense of the word.
Americanization is very dangerous
thing. In the bolshevik sense of the
word, Americanization at once affords
hope for the future and practical re-
suits in the present.
To speak of Americanizing our Par
ty in the bolshevik sense of the word,
means to speak of the Party adopting
tactics based on the objective con-
ditions. Examination of these obiec-
tive conditions will indicate that his
torical traditions much as they appear
to the superficial observer as abstract
forces, are in reality very concrete
elements, very substantial phases of
the objective conditions at hand and
transmitted.
The American bourgeoisie have al
ways prided themselves on saying that
there are no classes in the United
States, never have been, and never can
be. The history of America, like the
history of any other country, is the
history of class struggle. The first
American Revolution is a gigantic
class struggle. If we scratch the sur
face Of the historical evidence of the
first American Revolution, we will find
that the Civil War was class war.
This Revolution grew out of conflict
of economic class interests. 1t was
not a single event; it was the climax
of a series of events.
1t is not my purpose to describe any
battles or skirmistes or deal with
the military disasters or victories of
the contending forces of the first
American Revolution. Such investiga-
tons are relatively unimportant for

BAD FOR THE BRIDEGROOM

Two young fellows, partners in the
tea trade, were the best of friends,
and their. intimacy extended to per-
sonal as we'll as business matters.
One of them, supplemented fell
low, was bachelor, and was in the
habit of reading to his partner ex-
tracts from letters of an ardent and
affectionate nature from girl in
New York City, who signed herself
Susie"
The married one went to China for
twelve months, and returned just in
time to attend the wedding of his
partner.
II hardly feel like a stranger" he
said addressing the bride. ''In fact,
l feel as though I ought to be we'll
acquainted with my partners wife,
since he has often read to me ex-
tracts from his dear Susie's letters. ;"
The faces of the husband and the
speaker were studies as the bride
drew herself up, and said, emphati-
cally and distinctly:
II beg your pardon; my name is
Helen!'-The Grit Newspaper.

URGES LOYALTY TO
COOP CREAMERIES
BY A. j. MCGUIRE
General Manager Land O'Lakes
CreamerieS, Inc.

There is a difference of from 4 to
7 cents per pound in the price of
good and poor butter on the leading
markets of the country at the present
time.
There is now a surplus of butter
in the country over any previous year,
due to the extension of dairying, and
if this surplus continues there is go
ing to be a still greater difference in
the price of good and poor butter.
In many states it is impossible to
make first-class butter owing to I'M
favorable conditions, but here in Min
nesota where every farm has a we'll
of cold water that can be used for
cooling the cream, and where almost
every town has a cooperative cream
cry, good butter can be made and is
being made.
There is an everlasting fight on the
big markets between good and poor
butter-good butter from good coop
erative creameries and poor butter
from the centralizers. Whichever
of these two systems win in the long
run, will control the field. 1t will
be the cooperative creameries pay
ing from 2 to 5 cents above New
York Extras for butterfat, or the CEN
tralizers paying from 2 to cents
below.
A cooperative creamery that grades
cream and pays a premium for sweet
cream and makes Land o. Lakes but
ter, is putting up the best kind of a
fight for the farmers because it is
only good butter that will make it
cry system to win out.
There are over 1000 cream stations
in Minnesota 1--WE should be ashamed
of cream station in town where
there is cooperative creamery and
their system is to take any kind of
cream at any time and pay the same
price for it all. That means poor
butter and a poor price. Poor but
ter means lower consumption of
butter and a higher consumption of
oleo-margarine and other butter sub
Stitutes.
A cooperative creamery that works
for the highest quality butter, is
working for the highest price for its
patrons and should have the backing
and support of every farmer in the
community. The farmer who leaves
his creamery because his cream is
graded should give the matter more
serious thought, and he will come to
see that cream grading and paying
for quality is the only fair and hon
est way.
Good butter is the foundation of the
cooperative creameries and the bet
ter the butter the stronger the foun-
dation. Help your buttermaker make

HAY SHORTAGE MAY
MEAN HERD-CULLING

In certain sections of Minnesota
where it is not possible to augment
the usual forage supply by a close
utilization of corn stalks, some far
mers are likely to be faced with the
alternative of buying high priced hay
or of selling part of their livestock.
Farmers in Pine county are likely to
be confronted with this problem.
The prudent farmer, says w. L.
Cavert of the extension service. De-
partment of Agriculture, University
of Minnesota, in view of this situa-
tion, will at once estimate as closely
as possible how many head of dive
stock he can carry with the roughage
he has available. One way to help
meet such a situation is carefully to
weed out Improbable cows. Steers
in a herd should be the first to 60.
1t will be more profitable to carry
two-thirds of the usual number of an
imals until spring than to carry a
full herd and have them come
through the winter in a thin, ema-
ciated condition.
Farmers in localities that will need
to ship in hay should remember, that
even though hay is purchased at a
reasonable price at the point Of ORR
gin, the cost of bailing, freight, and
handling adds decidedly to the ex-
pense. ..-
Inquiries received at University
Farm from western North Dakota as
to the possibility of buying hay in
Minnesota indicate that the hay
shortage is somewhat general. The
area of shortage includes at least
Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas.

leave Denmark at that time on
account of completing his studies
and paying for same. A few
years later the war prevented
him from leaving his native
country but in 1924 he came to
America. The first year was
spent at Grand View College, Des
Moines, Iowa, where he was in
structor and student. The past
year he has been pastor at juno
ton City, Ore, from where he
came to Askov together with his
family. Rev. Dyreborg expressed
the earnest desire for good work
between the Pensioners and
himself that it may result in bles-
sings to the. whole community.
Following the speaking folks
shook hands with the pastor and
his wife, extending good wishes
and the hope for good cooper
ative work.

ed his first sermon in the local

coming here to stay. The spa

ASKOV FOLKS EXTEND
WELCOME TO PASTOR

Rev. and Mrs. O. H. Dyreborg
and their six-and-a-half year old
son, Preben, were welcomed to
Askov Friday evening when folks
gathered at the church basement
in their honor. A crowd that
filled the. spacious room had gath
cred to- get acquainted with
Askov's new pastor and his fam
lily and to wish them we'll in their
work here.
After a song by the audience
Bort vi stevned' fra Fadres
Land few well chosen words
Of welcome were expressed to the
Dyreborg family by Fred John
sen.
DIR. P. N. Fenger gave short
gathering the theme from
the beautiful Danish song
''Blomster i Vaar"-(Flowers in
Spring. which was written by his
uncle, an old pastor and poet, in
Denmark many years ago. The
Doctor gave this song to Rev.
Dyreborg as welcome to Askov
and expressed the hope that his
work here may often recall mem
cries of the song.
The glee club entertained with
two songs and there was violin
and piano music. The orchestra
played several selections while
coffee was enjoyed at nicely dec
Grated tables.
Sigurd Petersen of Tyler, a son
of the late Rev. H. J. Petersen,
who was pastor for many years
at Tyler more than 20 years ago,
was present and was called upon
for few remarks. Mr.. Peder-
sen said that it is much better
that a minister speak out from
his heart than speaking from
wisdom and named some of the
older pastors as testimonials
men who have stood up for years
and spoken out from the heart
and are still pouring out of the
best that is in. them. Mr.. Peder-
sen was a folk high school in
structor a number of years and
for a few years was editor of the
Tyler Journal. At present he
is a candidate for the office of
county auditor of Lincoln county.
Rev. Dyreborg spoke about
when he first became interested
in coming to America which was
in 1911. He. could, however, not

good butter by bringing in Sweet
Cream. Do not blame him if your
cream is not always first-grade. 1t
would be lot easier for him to
take everything and call it good, as
do the cream stations, but his job
is to make your cooperative cream
cry pay you good price, and to do
that he must have good cream. 1t
is case of choosing between good
fellow" and good price,.
Down in your heart you know that
the best fellow" is the man whose
work helps you to build up your farm
and gets you returns for your labor
and that of your family. Stand by
him.
1t is not very difficult matter to
produce Sweet Cream. 1t takes a
little extra work and care, of course,
to have the pals and cans and
strainer and separator perfectly
clean, and to cool the cream in cold
water Immediately after separating
but why not?
From the beginning to the end of
farming there is work and more work,
and for lot of it there has been
mighty little pay the past few years.
Dairying has come the nearest to pay
ing well, and it is the cooperative
creameries and the good buttermak-
ers that have done most to make
dairying pay. Why not give the
cream, then, a little extra work and
attention, and the boys in the cream
cries little extra support in their
efforts to make high quality butter?

ABOUT MINERAL MIXTURE

Just these days there is some
agitation for the sale of min
eral feed. | have tried to find
out from places where mineral
feed has been sold, whether or
not it has proven to be satisfac-
tory. l have also consulted our
County Agent. The general con-
clusion is that the ingredients
are alright but to cite Mr.. Ham
margren in a previous issue of the
American: "All can be supplied
without buying the prepared mix
ture, considerably cheaper" For
this reason | have no connection
with the sale of the mineral feed
now being sold in this commun-
lty as some rumors have it. Why
should we pay unnecessary high
prices for mineral feeds, if we
can buy the same ingredients for.
less money? / am sending in to
the State Department of Agri-
culture sample of hay and grain
grown in this community for
analysis to learn what minerals
are lacking in same. AS soon as

The County Agent is also willing
to enlighten us on minerals and
he should be consulted about it.

Close to the edge of the brook

sweet-gum about three inches In
diameter which had been cut on.

some of the cut logs had been an
