believed to constitute q nonstop
record for automobiles.
A similar run was made late last
winter when "Smiles" Marrow
drove an Oidsmobile over snow
covered roads for 121 hours 50h

kept moving constantly, even when
taking on gasoline and oil. and it
travelled q distance Of 1858 miles.
The car was ready to continue
when Marrow stopped.

more than $4,000 miles, visiting

made indicating that the indus
trial machinery of the country is
now performing work that would
require three billion people to
perform if there were no machin-
cry. In 1904 a textile mill weaver
had a capacity Of so picks an hour
whereas in 1925 with modern ma
chinery one operator has a capa-
city of $500 picks an hour. With

Danish village and rural civiliza-
ton is the wonder of the age, and
the astounding thing is that it has
all been brought about in the last
half century. Sixty years ago the
Danish farmer was still a peasant
carrying on his agriculture in the
manner of the other European peas
ants-a manner that had not under
gone any noticeable changes since
Neolithic times. In 1866 profound
revolution began in Denmark, and
today the peasant has disappeared
and his place has been taken by
the most modern of farmers, prac-
Using agriculture with such highly
developed scientific technic that it's
equal can be found only in the expert
mental farms in the American agri-
scientific advance the Danish rural
ligence that has enabled it to organ
ize and operate successfully several
great cooperative enterprises and to
govern it's own affairs and manage
it's own interests in discriminating
manner. Denmark has done away
with the Independent farmer and pro-
duced the Independent farmers.
The credit for the independence of
the Danish farmers is given to the
Peoples Highschools. The idea upon
which these schools are founded was
first suggested in 1882. The first
school, which failed. was started in
1914. In 1859 the first successful
school was opened. The idea and
the movement have spread rapidly
since 1864. Now there are about sixty
of these schools and some 100000
young men and women have passed
through them in the last fifty years.
The late Bishop Grundtvig was the
originator. He held the opinion that
this new school should concern itself
principally with awakening and de-
veloping the sense of responsibility
in the young women and men alike,
to the end that they might be helped
to become good citizens, each one
capable of filling worthily his place
in the world. This result was to be
achieved by means of the Giving
word" in the form of lectures. The
instruction in these schools has al
ways been strongly marked by the
personality of the individual teachers;
and it has aimed, above everything
else. at developing the individuality
of the pupils.
In three respects these schools diff
fer from the conventional. First,
they do not exist to give the student

YOUNG ASKOV MAN
PASSES SUDDENLY

Once more it becomes the sad
duty of the American to chron-
icle the death of a young sturdy
person at Askov-a young man in
the prime of life-this time Carl
E. Sorensen, who died following
a serious goiter operation.
Carl, as he was known to ev-
erybody in the community, had
not been in the best of health
for several months, but it was on
ly the last five weeks that the
illness took on serious proper
tions and he weakened rapidly.
He was taken to the Fairview
hospital at Minneapolis about 10
days ago and there operated
upon for goiter on Wednesday
of last week. The goiter was a
bad one having grown all around
the speaking box. The operation,
however, was successful and he
felt good for several days but
on Saturday the heart weakened
and the end came at 10 o'clock
in the evening, his wife being
at the bedside. He was conscious
almost to the end and made a
desperate fight for life.
Carl Edward Sorensen was born
at Look ngglass, Platte county,
Nebr., on April Is, 1895, being
past 81 years at the time of
death. He came with his folks
to Askov in the spring of 1908
as a young lad and grew to man
hood on the old home farm
southwest of town. He served
his country in the World War
and seven years ago was married
to Oline M. Jensen, to this union
being born two children, Nora
and Roger, who with the. r mother
survive.
Carl was a charter member of
the Askov Band, where folks will
remember him as a good slide
trombonist. He also worked as a
musician in the service. He was
assistant director of the local
band and his last performance
in. that capacity was at the re-
cent Young Peoples convention
in Askov. Carl had also learned
the barber trade and conducted
the local shop a few months be-
fore he was married. Likely he
was more interested in farming
and took up that occupation again
after marriage, acquiring then
his own farm of 80 acres which
adjoined that of his parents. He
was in the midst of building a
new home the last few months.
His last work, however, was that
of substituting in the local bar
Der shop for a week during the
BARRIERS vacation. Following that
he was taken to the hospital as
he was failing fast and wass suf-
ferlng.
Surviving, besides his own ia
mily of wife and two little tots,
who are not yet old enough to
realize their great loss, are his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jeppe So
rensen, two sisters, Miss Sena
and Mrs. Harold Christensen, and
three brothers, Albert, Evald and
Sigvard, besides many uncles,
aunts and cousins. Carl was of a
quiet and likeable nature, made
friends wherever he went, and
besides being a great loss to his
immediate family, where the
chain has now been broken, he

information or skills, but to awaken
their personalities and to develop
their responsibility. The public
schools and others are left to incul-
cate the ancient learnings and skills.
Second, these schools do not teach
lessons out of books. The teachers
must be equal to the task of carrying
on the educational process without
must be equal to the still greater
of his own judgment.
The third divergence from our con-
ventions is this, that these schools
are not avenues of escape from work
and responsibility. Through them
work is to be made intelligent, and
responsibility is to be touched with
imagination and rescued from druid
gerry and the spirit of petty tyranny.
These schools are free from state
control. They are voluntary institu-
tions; the teachers control them, in
the interest of what they conceive
as an intellectually free education.
There is no compulsion. The students
attend voluntarily. The only require
ment for admission is that the stu
dent shall be Is years old. A small
tuition fee is charged. They get no
grades, no credits, no standings, no
diplomas, no graduations and no as
sured job at the end. There are no
examinations or tests at any stage
of the course. Virtue is here it's own
and only reward, andrvice is its own
day of judgment.
Not all young people in Denmark
go to these schools. Some cannot
stand the discipline that freedom en-
tails. They go to the Latin schools
and the university, where their work
can be directed for them in detail.
But those do come who want that
combination of free initiative and
realistic mental discipline which has
been, in all ages, the ideal of liberal
education.

WHAT is THRIFT-EXACTLY
(POpe County Tribune.)

1t is another name for habit
ual prosperity as the result of
frugality and economy. 1t is a
condition resulting from industry
and an entire absence of waste
or extravaganza.
We all want riches, but with it
incline both to waste and indul-
gence, which always menace and
frequently destroy success. Thrift
both builds and preserves good
fortune, which we all desire and
want continued indefinitely be-
cause of the pleasures and COM
forts of life.
The joys of thrift are known
only to the thrifty, and they
abide. Wealth comes and goes,
except when nourished by thrift.
Hence the economic value of edu-
cation in thrift, which makes sue
cess permanent. It's joys are
worthy of a high place in every
mans regard. The rewards it
yields are greatly to be desired.
They include security, comfort,
self-respect, power, Influence,
stand ng, authority, considera-
ton, precedence. and many other
things, great and small, which
men love.
The habit of thrift inevitably
brings money and property to the
man who possesses it. He lives
within his income, saves constant
ly, invests prudently. His indus
try never lags. He always has
what the unthinking call good
luck Fortune comes. his way.
He is favored. Year after year
he sees his store increase. Fear
of poverty is banished. He lives
in plenty.
The desire to spend, which tor
ments SO many who have little
to spend, does not bother him,
for with the prosperity his thrift
brings him he learns true values
and comes to know and thorough
ly dislike waste, indulgence and
every form of extravaganza.
Make no mistake. The habit
of thrift robs one of no proper
pleasure, clouds no worthy out
look, narrows no life, hampers no
laudable ambition. On the con-
trary, it adds immensely to the
joys of human existence, widens
every prospect for usefulness and
honor, broadens the horizon OF
opportunity enormously, and
makes possible the realization OF
many lofty aspirations. And
with it goes from it's humblest
beginnings contentment, g
sense of well-being, conscious
ness of right conduct, a conf:
dence in both present and future
and a certainty of fine success
which no prodigal, no waster, nc
idler, no crook however talented
can ever feel or know.
Verify, thrift is blessed, and he
is a fortunate youth who learns to
love it!

HOLD-OUT PLAYERS

FROM BALL CLUBS

NEW YORK. Mar. Bail play
ers using the old holdout game to
get more pay out of their employers
have received scant consideration
from the major league club owners
this season.
The independent attitude of the
masnates may be the result of a
private understanding to hold ground
and stick to their own terms.
The action taken by the Brooklyn
club in the case of Zach Wheat was
one of the most conspicuous eX-
amples. Wheat was sort Of an as,
sistant manager of the club and iS
one of its best players. He held
out for n two year contract at $40,
600 a year. The club told him he
could not have two year contract
and If he didn't sign within "a
hours the amount would be dccrcas,
ed to $4,000. Wheat signed.
Frank Frlsch, captain and star
second bascman for the Giants,
wanted an increase in pay but he
didn't get it. He did not hold out
exactly but he tarricd some in sign
ing tho papers.
Thc other holdouts among tho
Giant players have been told that
they can take the club s terms or
