which we like to dwell upon, the
deeds which we point our children
to, are men who have loved their
country, men who have been imbued
with an unfaltering faith in the
living God.
Read your histories and you will
find them but the record of the acts
of few great souls They tell you
what few great men have done
what a few men who were charged,
electrified with an idea have accom-
plished.
True, the motives have not always
been the noble ones. While patri-
otism and religion have governed in
many, instances, there have also been
times when greed, the lust of power,
the love of wealth and the passion
for fame have been the forces that
spurred men on.
But while the baser motives have
predominated in a great many in
stances, it can not be denied that the
nobler aspirations, the nobler i'm
pulses have also been the propelling
power in as many others. At least
is the latter q fact in those instances
where the results have made for the
freedom of the race, where the sword
of righteousness has cut the chains
of slavery, has severed the shackles
of involuntary servitude, where the
forces of right and truth have shat
tered the walls of oppression, have
brought light where there was dark
ness, have caused life to reign where
before was death. These things have
been accomplished by men who have
had faith in God, by men who have
had an undying love for their country

throughout was characterized by
right living and high thinking.
Some of the epigrammatic
things said were: The men in

better living, better relationship,
and more faith in ourselves and
our neighbors.
Mr.. Petersen was master of

every way the occasion was a
most enjoyable and instructive
one.

Good sized audiences greeted

of Atterdag folk high school, Sol
wang, Calf, at his four lectures
in Askov, given at the church.

about Jacob and home yearning

praise of God and thankfulness.
Sunday afternoon he dwelt upon
Ansgar, the apostle of the North,
who brought Christianity to Den
mark HOO years ago. Sunday
evening he spoke about our herit-
age, dangers and pitfalls, baptism
its deep meaning and COM
munion.
Following the lecture Sunday
evening folks went to the base
ment of the church where they
were seated at neatly prepared
tables and enjoyed refreshments.
Here Rev. Kristensen also read
some good dialect poetry-some
of it real humorous.
Rev. Kristensen carried greet
ings with him from the Solvang
congregation, also greetings to
friends from Rev. and Mrs. L.
Henningsen and Mrs. Kristensen.
These were accepted with thanks
by Rev. S. D. Rodholm who also
thanked Rev. Kristensen for the
days he had spent in Askov, and
asked him to convey greetings to
his home folks from Askov.
Rev. Kristensen is a deep
thinker, a good speaker and al
ways has a good message. He is
also pleasant man to meet.

SANDSTONE GRADE
CHILDREN ENTERTAIN

A very pleasing entertainment
was given in Sandstone, Friday
evening, May 21st, by the grade
children from LIST to 9Th, show
ing an operetta entitled "A
Dream of Fairyland".
A beautiful bower of green
frightened by flowers had been
arranged by the teachers of the
lower grades. The girls in dainty
costumes of pasted shades repre-
senting fairies, the smallest ones
representing sprities -the girls
in rose color, the boys in brown
with song and dance, helping to
win the evil fairies to join with
the good band to make a happy
home for the two children who
had wandered off into the woods
to seek the fairies they had read
so much about.
Great credit is due Miss wager,
director of music, and the Misses
Poferl, Collett, Temple, Virgins,
Hubbard and Mylen, teachers, for
their faithful work in the sue
cessful production of the oper-
eta.
Violin music by Eileen Barstow

SPENT A PROFITABLE
DAY ON ASKOV FARMS
Cost Accounting Route Work is
Gone Over by University Men
With -Askov Farmers.-GoOd
Picnic Lunch Enjoyed.

Askov as a community center
was greatly honored last Tuesday,
the 25th, by the presence of a
distinguished group of Univer-
sity people who had come to lend
their aid in explaining the merits
of the cost accounting route es-
tablished Jan. 1, 1925, by the De-
partment of Agriculture of the
State University. Among those
present from the University were
Professors Andrew and William
Boss of the Department of
Agronomy and Agricultural Engi-
neering, respectively; George A.
Pond, A. T. Hoverstad, D. C.
Mumford, R. C.. Grim, Mark
Thompson, E. C. Torrey, A. J.
Schwantes, S. B. Cleland, E. G.
Schafer and w l.. Cavert. There
were also present from the Uni
versity twelve students who had
journeyed all the way from Min
neapolis to see what a good CO.
operative community looked like
and to tune in on values explain
ed by those.in charge of the cost
accounting routes.
Other distinguished visitors
were Berry Akers, associate edi-
tor of The Farmer of St. Paul; G..
L. Franks, representing the Min
neapolis Journal, and George w.
Kelley, editor of Farm, Stock and
Home of Minneapolis.
Christ Morgensen's farm, one
of the statistical route projects,
one mile west and one half mile:
north of Askov, was first visited.
In the loft of his barn the farm
ers and other visitors sat around
on the floor and listened to ad-
dresses of explanation by Messrs.
Pond and Hoverstad of the Uni
versity staff. At twelve o'clock
the. party left the Morgensen
place and went directly to the
park in Askov where a delicious
and substantial lunch of sand
wiches, coffee, cake, pie, baked
beans, etc., had been prepared by
the farmers wives and under the
guidance of L. =. Petersen, presi-
dent of the Pine County Farm
Bureau, was served to those in
waiting. Just before lunch a
downpour. of rain of short dura-
ton came as a welcome visitor
but caused folks to take shelter
in their awaiting cars. The rain
over, newspapers were spread
upon the tables and seats, and
the lunch enjoyed just little
more because of the dampness.
After the luncheon Mr.. Peder-
sen introduced Viggo Nielsen, a
graduate student of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who spoke
in the Danish language; and Pro-
fessor Andrew Boss and Professor
E. G. Schafer, who each gave in
teresting and instructive adj
dresses.
After the speaking, the party
drove to the Henrik Henriksen
farm, i miles east of town,
where other addresses were made
in explanation of the work
especially pertaining to dairying
and poultry by Messrs. Hoverstad
and Pond.

glorious adventure, but her service IN
the matter of getting Elizabeth to and
from the Des Moines Public Library
endeared her to the child forever. TWO
or three mornings a week Elizabeth
was left at the library, while went
to the magazine offices to work.
At noon, I called for her and took
her home to lunch with me. Over the
meal she chartered eXcitedly about
the books she had been reading. and
l was constantly being amazed at the
rapidity with which she read. At first
I accused her of Swimming through
book without half reading it, but
her ability to quote long passages
almost verbatim. and her insistence
upon telling me the entire story con-
WINGED me that somehow she did all
sorb every word on every page.
Three years later a psychologist
who had been testing and observing
the child. explained the phenomenon
of her extremely rapid reading. He
had discovered that she read in blocks
of type down the page, taking in as
many as five lines at a glance, as one
does picture on a wall. l watched
her and saw that 1t was true her
eyes do not move from left to right,
from line to line. but jump down the
page, making about three shifts. BY
actual test it was discovered that she
read five times as fast as the average
reader, and. in the reproduction of
ideas test. to retain far more than the
adults who took the test with her In
fact. her reproduction of a page from
text book on philosophy was almost
verbatim, though she had never seen
the matter before.
1t was Midsummer that year when
Elizabeth at the age of > wears and J
months, was given her first mentality
test, under the Binet-SimOn system Of
determining mental age. 1t happened
accidentally and dramatically, and !
was almost as much startled by the
results as were the psychology eX-
perts of the University of Iowa, where

Doctors and scientists in
curing into the causes OF Hay
Fever agree that the irritation
in eyes, nose and throat is
caused by protein. While this
protein is found in foods and
other substances, its existence
in the powdery pollen of GER
tain grasses and weeds is the
most common cause OF Hay
Fever.
Ercolin Gives Instant Relief
ERCOLIN-a new physio-
logical compound has been de-
veloped which goes straight to
the cause of Hay Fever trou-
BILE. ERCOLIN reacts on the
protein found in all pollens. 1t
neutralizes instantly their irri-
tating effect on the mucous
membrane. A single applica-
ton of ERCOLIN cleans out
nose and eyes, stops burning
and itching Immediately.
