SPAIN IGNORED
BY LEAGUE

GENEVA, Aug. 30.-The commit
tee on reorganization OF the League
of Nations council today deferred the
question of SPANS demand for
permanent seat in the council.
The committee met twice, and at
both sessions the Spanish delegate,
Senior Palacios, demanded that
Spain's claim for a permanent seat
bo taken up. The committee ignored
these requests, however, and dis
cussed temporary seats.
"Our demand is as old as the
League ITSELF" said Senior Palacios
He asked a detailed consideration of
the Spanish demand and reasons
for the rejection of the demand If
a permanent seat is not granted.

AWAY AFTER STROKE

ailing with kidney trouble the
past winter, during most of
which time he has been confined
to bed at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Chris Petersen, suffer
ed a paralytic stroke early Friday
morning and died soon after
wards.
Mr.. Sorensen was born in the
Vejle Egn, Denmark, on June 3,
! 1858, and would have been 68
years old on his next birthday.
He came to America as young
man, settling in Nebraska where
he was married, reared a family
and spent most of his best years.
Mr.. Sorensen was of the pioneer
type Of men, quiet and unassum-
ing but attended to his duties.
He bought railroad land in the
St. Edwards neighborhood when
it could be secured at very low
price. Mrs. Sorensen died there
about Is years ago.
Mr.. Sorensen has spent much
of his time. at Askov during the
past Is years, since his son, Carl
s., and his family located here,
visiting also other relatives here.
He divided his time between rel
atives at St. Edwards, Nebr.,
and Askov.

-four of whom live at Askov-
Carl S. Sorensen, Mrs. Niels P.
Petersen, Harold, and Mrs. Chris
Petersen. Three sons live in Ne

sen, besides sister in Minnea-

sen accompanied the body to Ne
braska to its last resting place.

Opinions of Others
A FARMERS OPINION
Continued from last weekly

SNAA'I
Another thing that is costing
us considerable money without
benefit that | can see is the pro-
hibition law. Years ago, or when
l first came to this country, it
was a common sight to see both
old and young men drunk on our
streets whenever l came to town,
but in later years, say from 1900
on, it was seldom that one saw a
young man under the influence
of liquor. We had local option
laws and if the majority of the
people living in a community
didn't want saloons they could
vote them out. Seems to me that
was fair enough. We never had
saloons here and never would
have had. Why should we help
to pay the stupendous sum that
our government levies trying to
enforce the Volstead act? If it
were enforced, and people didn't
quit working in order to make
easy money bootlegging, or big
wages and graft on the prohibi-
ton force it would be different
as regards the dry law. But why
pay for something that we
haven't got, namely, a dry coun-
try? If one half of the money
expended trying to enforce pro-
hibition had been expended inn
proving our farms wouldn't we
be better off? =
Previously | stated that we
could not have individual selfish
ness and still cooperate success
fully. | think that is true in
regard to us farmers, because we
have no power to control. 1t IS
of course a different. thing when
large industries cooperate or
form combines and mergers, that
is done because they want to CEN
tralize power, and to drive the
small fellow out, thus stopping
competition. Big mergers, which
is the new word for trusts, are
being made right along, more so

parole system had their way, he
would have to stay there nine
teen years more. The prospect
would discourage his budding
talent. He would say, What's
the use?" But now that he has
found something infinitely more
interesting and. of course, more
profitable than being a gunman
and hold-up, it is perfectly safe
to let him out. And letting him
out under these circumstances is
wise thing for society. 1t is
exchanging a useless charge on
the state for citizen whose
awakened mind will make him
not only self-supporting but ex-
tremely useful.
No doubt the parole system is
sometimes abused. No doubt
those who apply it make mis-
takes. But the fact that more
than eighty per cent of paroled
prisoners in Minnesota make
good shows that their wrong
judgments are more than bal
anced by their right ones.
To abolish the parole system,
or greatly to curtail it's useful
ness, because here and there a
paroled prisoner goes wrong,
would be a tragic miscarriage of
justice.

farms of Minnesota, were given
certificates Of graduation by DIR.
L. D. Coffman, president of the
University of Minnesota.
The object of the school is to
fit young men and women for
successful farm life and useful
citizenship. The school course
runs for three years and provides
for the study of agriculture for
SIX months at the University
Farm and for six months of
supervised home project work on
the farm, the purpose of which
is to give the students oppor-
tunity to apply their classroom
training to the actual operation
of farm or farm home.
Students who have completed
eighth grade work or its equiva-
lent are admitted without ex-
animation to the Minnesota
School of Agriculture. All male
students must have had six
months farm practice before
entrance. The minimum age of
entrance is II; exceptions may
be made in the case. of applicants
who have completed one full year
of high school work. The fall
term of the school will open
September 81. Courses of study,
cost Of attendance, and regula-
tions are given in a bulletin
which may be had on application.

of late than before. Competition
of course forces prices down.
When the railroads, big banks
and industries have completed
their mergers what will happen
then? We have no power to
stop them asking any price they
want to.
Another thing to think over
is what right have we to issue
thirty year bonds in order to
build paved roads, although we
are only in most cases paying
the interest on those bonds?
Taxes are already too high.
These roads will be worn out be-
fore the next generation which
has to pay for them, gets a chance
to use them. Paved roads do
not as a general rule help the
farmer much, not unless his land
lies next to them. Distributing
the cost of these paved roads to
those of us who have no use for
them is an unjust tax. If it were
left to the farmers how much
paving would be done that we
can't even pay for?
Probably it's mostly a case of
the country as whole living too
high, especially in the cities and
then showing the cost of it over
on the farmer without giving us
a fair return for the things that
we produce. That is what makes
hard times on the farm, the fact
that we have to pay for some
one else having a good time
riding around on paved roads,
living on the best of what is pro-
duced in the country, while the
farmer keeps what he can't sell
for his own use.
Summing things up we find
ourselves Dragging about the
great progress made. in America
during the last few generations.
Most of us came to this country
in order to better things for our
selves and our children. After
almost a lifetime of struggle
what is the outlook for the
coming generation? Are we any
better off even though we have
opened up the farms of the coun-
try and produced most of the
country's wealth? 49,
One of the leading thinkers of
the country when recently asked
to toast the existing order of
things did so in the following
words: I'VE have allowed the re-
sources of our country to be
wasted and sold in the four cor
ners of the earth and then squan-
dered the gains. We have robbed
the soil of its virgin fertility, the
mines of their wealth, and then
allowed the gains to pass away
from us into the hands of the
flew. And finally in order that
some may ride around in high
powered cars, in velvet ease, we
are bonding the. lives Of our
children to smoother the bumps
in our highways. Something
needs to be done and that soon.
The chance to go into the will
derness and live by developing
your muscle is gone. The next
generation will have to develop
their brains"
