USE FOR MORE OF IT

The Mile Laos County Times
is afraid that labor saving ma
chinery works a detriment to the
laboring classes and writes about
it as follows:
Labor saving machinery does
not benefit the laboring man.
And in some instances it does
not even benefit the communities
where it is installed, but on the
contrary proves detriment to
their growth and prosperity.
This is now being Illustrated in
many of the towns on the Mime
sofa iron range where conditions
are said to be bad because the
mining companies have installed
machinery that displaces hun
dreds of working men in the
mines. These hundreds of men
are now out of a job and must
hunt for something else to do.
Labor saving machines benefit on
ly the owners of the machines. 7"
We thought that Editor Ora
vens laid claim to, being a pro-
gressive.
No reason why the laboring
classes should not own some of
the machines and they have the
opportunity to do so. When
sewing machines came out there
was cry that nearly all dress
makers would be out of work;
harvesting machines would throw
men on the farms out of work;
tip setting mach mes would make
little employment for printers,
and so on. What has been the
result? More production, short
er hours, lower prices proper
tionately, and more demand.
Bring on the labor saving ma
chinery. 1t certainly won't DO
any lasting harm.

Mile Laos County Times: When
candidates for United States
senator in Pennsylvania will spend
three million dollars in order to
get an office that pays salary of
only $4,000 a year you can see
how important certain interests
think it is to be represented in
the U. S. Senate. The empire
of Rome began to fall when its
high official positions were
bought and sold by the wealthy
people of that time. But they
never paid such huge sums as are
being paid by the millionaires in
politics today.

That completed a circle through
the Arrowhead country, and it al
so completed one of the most in
teresting journeys that we have
had the pleasure to take.
We came to the conclusion, after
going through the Arrowhead
country, that that country
possess some outstanding
features t h al give it an ad-
vantage over any other summer
tourist country. 1t has the CHM
ate; it has the lakes; it has the
wilderness, the primitive camping
sites; it has the canoe routes; it
is an ideal place to spend the
summer vacation.

CERTAINLY-DRAFT THE
DOLLARS AS WE'LL

In a recent speech delivered
by Senator Irvine L. Lenroot of
Wisconsin, in which he declared
that the World Court was design
ed to prevent wars and added
that America owes a duty to pos
terity to do our part to prevent
war in the world" he went on
as follows:
1--WE sometimes fear for the
future of America when we con-
slider the many forces seeking to
destroy the fundamentals of our
government. Here in America
are gathered together peoples
from every country under the
sun. Some of them do not ap-
preciate the blessings of our
form of government and seek to
tear down all that has been
builded in $50 years Of progress.
But they are vastly in the mi
nority Whenever a great crisis
confronts us, and the country
calls it's citizens to it's defense,
there is infant response, a will
lingness to sacrifice, both upon
the part of those who go and
those who are compelled to stay
at home.
"God grant we may never have
another war but if we ever
should, l hope that no man in
America will make a fortune out
of it. To our disgrace be it said
that in the World War, while our
boys were fighting in the trench
es, while the great mass of our
people on farm, in village, and in
factory were making sacrifices to
help w n the war, some men made
vast fortunes out of it. We now
have a bill pending in congress
seeking to prevent this condition
ever occurring again, but to my
mind it does not go far enough.
The bill should provide for the
drafting of dollars just as freely
as it does the drafting of men.
To the greatest extent possible,
there should be equality of sacri-
flee upon the part of capital as
well as upon the part of men,"

A LITTLE MIXED

The small town band had just
finished a selection more distin-
guished for yigor than harmony.
AS the musicians sat hopping
their perspiring faces, after ac-
knowledging the applause, the
trombonist whispered hoarsely:
whats the next one"
''The Maiden's Prayer" replied
the leader after glancing at his
program.
Some mistakew exclaimed the
trombonist, that's Just what I've
been playing"

Answer To
"TEN THOUSAND YEARS"
With Compliments to the Composer.

Ten thousand years. how great span
Of years, to add to mortal man
In which to finish lfes desires
Aroused and planned by youthful fires
Would Communication be the part
We need to give the world It's start?
What sages of the long ago,
Who lived five hundred years or so,
ACCOMPLISHED more did more for men
Than we of scarce three score and ten?
For we must work eer time is DER
They'd wait perhaps some hundred more.
We all have lives we'd like to lead,
To help our brother in his need.
We'd like to guide along the way
The children that are at plays
We'd share their sorrows, joys and tears
But why for some ten thousand years?
What need had Lincoln of more time
To make his memory sublime?
He did the task left him to do,
His faith was right, his judgment true
His motives, to the world is clear
And will remain thousand years.
To me that life is surely long,
That's filled with peace and JOY and song,
Whose trials all are justly met,
Who travels life without regret,
Who lives in hope, not dies in fear,
Content to live from year to year.
Ten thousand years before our day
Men learned the Straight and Narrow way
And down the ages we will find
Instructions from that super-mind:
He who on Calvary did fall
To bring redemption to us all.
Yet men like this, though Royal birth
Spent little time upon this earth.
Though every one his name reveres
They soon forget the length of years
He spent, and now and ever hence,
Remember his accomplishments.
And when our friend comes back to view
This poor old world that once he knew,
Comes from that joyous world afar
Bred from his planet and his star,
May my small works not seem too queer,
To him of thrice ten thousand year.

THE BEAUTIES OF
THE ARROWHEAD COUNTRY

Following is a story written by
Axel w. Carlson of Sturgeon
Lake, to the Duluth Herald in
their BEST Auto Trip Story !.
contest recently. Mr.. Carlson re-
ceived second prize.
We came from the south over
Highway No. /. Our first
thoughts of being in the Arrow
head country came as we steered
our car over the hills and saw be-
fore us Lake Superior, the ST.
Louis bay, Duluth and Superior.
This perspective was captivating.
We stopped the car at Rest Point
and scanned the cities, the docks
and harbor below. After gazing
at this panorama, which is no
doubt one of the most beautiful in
the world, we proceeded down
wards to Duluth.
We spent some time in this
city looking over some of the sites
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1926-07-01

inland up the hills and into the
wilderness. This was smaller
trail, but we followed it until we
got to the small townsite of Fin
land. A trout stream trickled
through this town and along its
banks and the road was rustic,
comfortable looking tourist park.
1t was a pastoral view and it
looked SO inviting that we decided
to put our camp here for the
night. This was hastily done.
The small stream murmured it's
invitation to fish in it, so we
wasted no time in getting the
tackle ready and then we made
our way through the brush up the
stream. The going was rather
difficult but well compensated,
for not much effort had to be
used to pull out enough of the
speckled varieties for the evening
repast.
That night was a comfortable
night. 1t was spent in the cool
climate of the Arrowhead country,
in the woods of the tourists de-
light. All that could be heard
was the distant tinkling of a cow
bell and the gurgling and trick
ling of the stream as the water
ran over the rocks and pebbles in
it.
The next morning we pro-
ceeded northward over this wood
land trail. For many miles we
Travelled over country that was
similar to that of the Superior
national forest. 1t was thickly
wooded, vibrant with wild life,
dotted with lakes. Here and
there tourist had put his camp
in the wild Businesses and was en-
joying the thrills of the campfire,
the camp meals and the tent.
This trail took us into Winton.
We passed through this village
and proceeded on the north shore
of Long lake, which is a scenic
drive that satisfied us to see.
BURNSIDE lake was our next
stop, and from a camp on the
south shore of this lake we secured
a boat, loaded our camping sup
plies and provisions in it and set
out bound for some island on this
lake. After rowing two or three
miles through channels and past
several islands, we located one
that was isolated from the others
and it showed no signs of human
habitation. Here we pitched our
tent and spent three days of ideal
camping, fishing and boating.
From that point we proceeded
down towards the range country,
passing lake Vermilion, a beauti-
full lake close to the northern
boundary line. The range towns
were the next places of interest
that were both enjoyable and edu-
cational. After taking in various
range towns, we proceeded back to
Duluth over the Miller Trunk road.

1t is said that the editor of the
Biwabik Times is recklessly try

largest pike, pickerel and black

that all compel. tors must have

Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton Report of Export of
ST. CrOiX Vegetables 90
the United States.

The Experiment Station at St. Croix
has been recently conducting some ex-
periments in the shipping of vegetables
to New York, to learn if they would
make the trip in a satisfactory manner.
Two of the shipments were sent direct,
and one via Porto Rico. The reports,
show that the vegetables all arrived in
excellent condition. The freight is about
the same both ways. although there is
a small brokerage charge at San Juan;
also a fee for transferring from one
wharf to another. However this infor-
nation is interesting on account of its
bearing on the possible industry of vege-
table shipping from our islands. In
reference to the last shipment the i'm

Shipping expenses were:

Balance. ........ S29.86
The cost per box for raising the vege-
tables was very small. The present
estimate of yield of tomatoes per acre
based on the yield of the Station plot
will be not less than 400 crates per acre.
The estimate on the peppers and egg
plants cannot be made at the present
time. but they will prove very profitable
at the above prices.
AS a matter of interest to the onion
growers, arrangements have been made
whereby seed can be secured direct from
Teneriffe to reach here about September
L. The price will be $500 per pound
FOB. New York. This price is quite
reasonable in view of the fact that seed
men are quoting the seed at $500 to
$500 per pound. The seed comes in tin
lined sealed boxes.

Of others. Mr.. Sixto spoke of the i'm
portat'on of several items in America
from several British Dutch and French
West Indian Islands. Among suQges-
tons made by Mr.. Sixto are the i'm
provement of the Bay Rom industry
which he says is in its infancy in the
United States the establishment Of a
Commercial Bureau with members super
vising same from the Colonial Council
and the advertising of the exhibition to
come off this year in Philadelphia. Mr..
Sixto believes that it is impossible for
US to help ir creating industries, with
out eh financial and educational assist
ance of the Government, who at pre-
sent are without funds for the carrying
out of such projects. He suggested
that the Colonial Council approach the
Government on this topic, and did rot
think it could be considered ridiculous
when other countries were given chances
in like manner, and succeeded.

constitution, careful living and systema-

that years do not necessarily make age,

others are youthful in body and mind

LIMIT IN

MILES PER HOUR

Declaring an emergency to exist
in the case of traffic dangers in st.

their regular meeting Monday pass
ed a resolution making the speed
limit through the Joe city limits
Is miles per hour. The fathers
of that city felt that motorists had
been making a speedway of their
main street long enough.
Lacking a motorcycle officer to
enforce the new ruling, the county
board requested from Winslow tie
loan of their motorcycle, and
George Haynes, local speedcop.
Haynes will go on duty in St.
Joseph in the next few days. Aa
soon as the punitive arm of the law
has decended with sufficient force
on speeders to establish a precedent
and a regard for the statutes and
peace of st. Joseph, Haynes Will be
relieved of his suburban duty.
Other than the entertainment of
the suggestion from the st. Joseph
committee regarding the speed law,
the board spent their time with the

SANTA FE TAKES
LOADS OF SHEEP
AND CATTLE OUT

Shipping season for sheep is on,
according to reports issued this
week by H. J. Fouts, Santa Fe
agent, and the many muttons that
have adorned Arizona landscapes
for the past year are going trav-
cling. Sad, too, since the arrival
at their respective terminals mean
that the sheep will be converted
into steaks, chops and roaBts for
the palates of fastidious folks.
Cattle, too, are moving, eleven
cars having been shipped Tuesday
to Marinette, in the Salt River vat
ley, by the Clear Creek Cattle com
pany. These cattle, however, are
not to meet the axe just yet, Their
jOrney was for winter feeding only.
The Sawyer -Otondo Sheep com
pany last Thursday shipped seven
2-deck cars of sheep to points in
Kansas, and between now and Oc-
tober 20, some twenty-five more
cars of the festive muttons will be
embarked from the Clear Creek
Sheep company for points east and
west.
In addition to the local activity
and travelling tendencies of live
stock, there is pronounced move
ment Of the animals from Apache
county. Some of this traffic goes
east, but large part travels thru
W1nslow on its way to California.

FOURTH annual
NAVAJO COUNTY
FAIR A SUCCESS

One of the most successful coun-
ty fairs ever held in Northern Ari-
zona marked the success of the
Fourth Annual Navajo County Fair
held at Taylor last Friday and Sat
urday, October 1st and End, and
although on the second day the
weather was inclement the attend
ance on both days surpassed the
best expectations of the fair COM
mittee.
A feature of the last day was a
speech by Governor George w. P.
Hunt, who was the special guest
of the Fair commission. Governor
Hunt congratulated the people of
Navajo county on their efforts and
splendid showing in farm products
and advised them to make it an an
nual affair at some place in the
county to be definitely decided upon
and promised that state aid would
be always forthcoming.
The governor talked for a half
hour from the grandstand, and al
though it was raining, the crowd
remained during the entire speech.
Governor Hunt recounted the his
tory of mining states, which even
tually lose their mineral wealth
and said that it is always up to
agriculture to make a state, and
this is fast coming in Arizona. He
said that many things can be rails
ed in Northern Arizona that can
not be raised in the Salt River val
ley and that Navajo county and
Northern Arizona have wonderful
possibilities before them with the
coming of the Colorado River de-
velopment at Glen Canyon. The
governor explained the matter of
water rights on the Colorado and
denounced the river pact in it's
unfairneSs in allOcating the waters
in the upper and lower basins. He
explained his fight during the past
four years on the pact and lately
on the Swing-Johnson Boulder
Canyon dam bill, (which is a dam
BILL" he said. ''The only machine
l have is the people of Arizona"
the governor said in answering
charges of his opponents that it
was the highway machine that nom
mated him. Speaking of his op-
ponent E. S. Clark, Governor Hunt
said as late as June of this year
Mr.. Clark had Declared himself in
favor of the pact, although later
when che sent up his balloon and
