VISIT The new
CHURCH DEC. l6
FICE WHICH WILL HOUSE
LUTHERANS

Work on the new Lutheran
church has proceeded to such q
place that fair conception OF
what the finished building will be
can be obtained. The work on
the exterior is nearly completed
with the exception of the steeple.
The work on the interior while un-
finished in many details is fan
enough along to warrant the OBJ
server in forming a good idea of
what the appearance will be when
all the work is done.
An excellent opportunity to see
the building as far as it has pro-
gressed will be furnished on, the
evening of Thursday, December
16, when the Lutheran Ladies Aid
will give 6 o'clock supper in the
church basement, to which the
public is cordially invited. They
have planned an exceptionally APP
petizing menu to consist of a
choice of either roast veal and
dressing or of ludefisk and lelfsa.
A charge of so cents will be made
for the meal. All those who at
tend the supper, who wish to, will
be shown through the newly con
structed church building and will
have an opportunity to see how
we'll the work has progressed.
Beautiful Windows
A rough flooring has been laid
to accommodate the workmen and
the laying of the permanent floor
has yet to be done. The large
stained glass window above the
altar has been installed as have
nearly all of the memorial win
lows. They are all of very high
grade of glass and we'll appear

sort of Offering which a needy
family might be able to use.
What To Bring
Some of the suggestions as to
what may be brought are meat,
poultry, vegetables, staple GRO
ceries, clean and mended used
clothing, used toys which are in
good condition, canned fruit and
any other articles which might
be on hand, in good condition and
useful but which perhaps have no
further use in one particular
household. Grownups no doubt
viii find plenty to bring for the
needy but as a suggestion espec-
ally to children they are told that
he value of what they bring
hould be at least 10 cents Bring
IS much more as you are able to.

WHAT TO DO TO MAKE
LIFE WORTH WHILE
Many People Consider That a
College Education and ''Suc-
cess" Are Synonymous, But
Here Are Some Who Are of
the Opposite Opinion.
BY Allan L. Benson
In Dearborn Independent.

Just when the word success"
was put into the dictionary does
not much matter. A hundred
years ago fifty years ago-the
majority of Americans were con-
tent to get along as best they
could and let it go at that. There
is no record that Lincoln's
parents ever worried about his
education. His stepmother may
have helped him a little with the
pine knot by which he read his
history, but apparently even she
never had any dreams for him.
Parents were content to let the
future take care of itself, ap-
parently believing that no
amount of planning could much
alter it.
We have changed quite little
in the last so years. We have
changed SO much, in fact, that
never before did the world be-
hold such a spectacle as now ex-
lists in the United States. We
have. discovered the word sue
cess" in the dictionary, and from
its printed page it blazes out at
us as if it would burn the paper
We have associated success with
education, with the result that
all the colleges we can build or
at any rate, all we have built
are not enough to bod the stu
dents. Our passion for sending
our youth to college is without
parallel anywhere at any time.
We have technical schools for
those who would be engineers,
law schools for those who would
be lawyers, and all that, which
is logical and all to the good.
But those who do not know ex-
actly what they want to do-and
they constitute the great MAORI
ty of American college students
take a general cultural course,
serene in the belief that a.college
education will be of great help

1 Washington, April Signs
point to a gradual slowing up in
legislation. The messages coming
from the home districts have a
tendency to divert the minds of
the Senators and Congressman.
Their official duties are not quite
so important these days as the
tidings from the local campaign
managers are to the development
of sentiment among voters. The
primaries hover around the Capt.
toll like a persistent nightmare.
Because of the fact that poll
tics is a decidedly uncertain game
at best, a word of caution has
been passed to those desiring re
election. According to well-in-
formed party leaders, there is a
growing disposition on the part
of many incumbents to regard
the primary returns as an as
surance of election. This holds
true in cases where the vote over
the other contestants within the
party has been impressive.
AS an illustration, in district
where the Republican candidate
piled up a heavy vote in the pri-
mary and the other parties cast
a small vote, the Republican
nominee frequently regards it as
a "walk-away". A Republican
party commander said this week
that in recent years this over
confidence had In some cases
been disastrous at the elections.
In a district regarded as safely
Democratic because of recent
elections, the other party often
springs a surprise by upsetting
the dope based on a light turn
Eout at the primaries.
If you will look around in your
own neighborhood, you will prob
ably note the development of
factions within a party during
the primary season. In some
states, it has been found that
these animosities do not fade
away and the opposition party
gains at the elections. For this
reason, it has been found that

DEPOT AT ASKOV
BURNED TO GROUND,
Fire Started in the Living
Quarters. Goes Down
Very Fast.

At 2::30 yesterday afternoon
the clang of the fire bell called
out the fire department and the
entire village population, the
Askov depot being ablaze. So
rapidly did the fire spread that
A. G. Danielson, the station agent
was able to save. only the cash
drawer and a freight book from
the office, and a cedar chest from
their living quarters.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Danielson
were in the building when the
fire started, they being in the
office. Likely there were few
embers in the heating stove in
the living room. Mrs. Danielson
stepped into that room and saw
fire up the paper wall, calling her
husband Immediately. He jump
ed for the fire extinguisher but
in less time than it takes to tell
the room was in flames
and soon the whole building was
a mass of flames. The fire de-
partment was on the job imme-
diately but could do nothing to
save the old wooden structure.
Effort was directed toward saw
ing telephone and telegraph
poles and keeping the fire from
spreading.
The building was about 30x5O
feet, erected shortly after the
big Hinckley fire of 1894, so was
over 80 years old. Temporary
quarters in the form of box car
will be put up today and likely
a new building will soon be COM
menced.
Station Agent Ball from Bru-
no, was down here 25 minutes
after the alarm to assist in ar
ranging train orders. The ire
mendous heat bent three rails en-
tirely out of shape. The local
section crew assisted by neigh
boring crews soon had the. track
repaired and at Z o'clock the
north-bound flyer went over the
main tracks.
The Danielsons lost all their
household goods except the cedar
chest as above noted. They car
ried some insurance.

to them in whatever they may
choose to do. That is because the
great reason in America for go
ing to college is to become a sue
cess in life. A college education
is supposed to pave the way to
success in anything. Young men
go to college now in order that
they may make money later.
How cheap success would be
at such a price! Four years in
college and then, presto, flying
start down whatever path one
might choose, with rewards,
emoluments, prizes and riches
coming with increasing frequen-
cy and in larger packages to the
end.
Yale university has done a real
service in showing exactly what
this sort of striving for success
has led to in one industry. Yale
appointed a committee to make
a survey of it's graduates and the
graduates of other colleges in the
field of transportation. The in
quiry extended over a period of
ten months, 800 leaders in the
business of transportation were
interviewed, a hundred trans
portation agencies were combed
for facts, 20 universities and tech
nical schools were visited: and
this is what the committee found:
Railway executives do not re-
gard college graduates as good
material from which to select
those who are to be trained to be
executives. They say that col
lege graduates are not steady
pluggers," that they have too
high an opinion of themselves
and are too eager for promotion.
One railway president said that
such men, when they begin. are
liabilities rather than assets.
There is little or no demand
from railroads for college gra-
duates merely because they are
graduates. They prefer to train
their own men and pick mate
rial for promotion from along
the right of way, or wherever it
may be found in the industry.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to note that the man now
president of the, New York Cen
trail lines began with a pick and
shovel.
Yale's survey was confined to
transportation, but the facts

PERSON CONOUEROR
OF PLUMB AGAIN

The wrestling match at Askov
Monday evening between Chris
Person, the veteran heavyweight
wrestler of Duluth, and l. M.
Plumb, the more youthful chal-
lenger of Bruno, was a good one
the contest being won by Per
son in two straight falls.
The preliminary contest be-
tween VIM. Saggau and Albert
Osterkamp, two heavyweights of
Bruno, was won by the latter.
Osterkamp gained the first fall
in 7 minutes with a body hold.
Saggau downed his opponent in
the second fall with a body scis-
sors and arm lock in 7 minutes.
The third fall went to Oster-
kamp in 81 minutes with an arm
hold. Osterkamp appeared to be
too strong for Saggau.
The Person-Plumb contest was
a dandy match. Both labored
till they were ringing wet from
perspiration. While Person is
somewhat heavier and appears
also stronger, his youthful oppo-
nent nevertheless gave him a
hard run. 1t required just 36aa
minutes for Person to down
Plumb for the first fall, that be-
ing secured over the toe hold and
half-nelson route.
After a 10 minute rest they
were at it again, hammer and
tongs, Plumb being the aggres-
sor most Of the time. Person
gained the second fall after 22a

all party leaders do not approve
the primary as a developer of
political party harmony.
In the old days, organization
was such that the nominee Sc
lected at a party convention was
accepted, but nowadays the man
who is denied the nomination
usually discards the party label
and runs as an independent,
drawing. his strength from the
discontents within both parties.
Bills to appeal the direct pri-
mary law have been offered to
various state legislatures, par
ticularly in the east, but some
how never got beyond the talk
ing stage.
The struggle for control of the
United States Senate is growing
in Importance. In unseating
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, the
Democrats gained one seat. 1t
is said that gain of seven more
seats in the Senate will place the
Democratic party in control. OBJ
servers say there will be strong
contests in nineteen states, so
that the Republican organization
is Justly disturbed over the stu
alton. 1t would be embarrassing
to the Administration to have
the Senate under Democratic con-
troll. 1t was only a short time ago
during the last days of the Will
son Administration that similar
situation was presented, with the
Republicans holding a whip hand
in the Upper Chamber.
Whether or not the World
Court issue figured prominently
in the defeat of Senator Mckinley
in Illinois is debatable question.
It has, however, elevated the
World Court proposition as a
political issue. The small group
of Senate irreconcilables who
have fought the. League of Ma
lions and the World Court expect
to capitalize upon the Illinois
situation in the Forthcoming pri-
maries in other states.
