Our WASHINGTON Letter
By W RDdley
aaOsl lpuonA Assoclalo~ gsoa

Washington, Jan. 81 Par1ia-
mentary tactics in the Senate
have for a time over-shadowed
the activities of the House OF
Representatives and the execu-
tive branches of the Government.
Dispatches from Washington
carry frequent references to
"fillibusters", "cloture", ETC.,
which are impressive but not en-
Tightening to the majority OF
citizens. 1t is true that Vice
President Dawes tour of the
country last year aroused the in
terest of small groups in these
features of legislative conduct
The protracted debate on the
World Court has revived the is
sue which General Dawes used
in his ballyhoo trip.
The mail of Senators and Con-
gressmen indicates that the ma
jority of their constituents do
not know the true meaning OF
these parliamentary terms. Fill
busters are nothing new as they
are distractions of legislation
by long speeches, dating back to
the Roman Senate. julius Cae-
sar at one time conducted a fill
ibuster. In recent years the
late Senator LaFollette was the
best known of the filibusting
group in the Senate. His record
of eighteen hours of constant OBJ
struction without abandoning the
privileges of the floor IN 1908,
still stands. Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, few years ago
approached this mark with an
eleven hour speech. 1t was the
practice in other years to allow
filibustering senator breathing
space by having documents read
into the record. But the rules
have been changed so that he no
longer has the services of a Sen
ate reading clerk. = One method
of obtaining a rest is to have a
friendly senator interrupt with
out a :. fihbustering legislator
yielding the floor.
Although Mr.. Dawes has re-
ceived unusual prominence in his
campaign against filibustering,
he is by no means the original
crusader, even in the United

States Senate. Real campaigns
have been directed against this
practice since 1912.
The cloture rule is for the pur.
pose of suppressing dilatory &C.
ton in the Senate and the House
Filibustering actually started in
this country in the first Con.
gress. The cloture has been
compared to a gag rule. 1t is
very difficult to obtain cloture
The chief advantage to the fill.

the courts would uphold the
utilization of these methods.
According. to the Presidents le-

does not possess the power. to
take over the mines and operate
them even though he considers
coal shortage real national
emergency. Therefore We find
Mr.. Coolidge passing the buck
to Congress and silencing con-
siderable criticism arising from
that body. 1t is said that a con-

necessary but legislation of this
character is not obtained over
night and requires ratification by

COOPERATIVE ASSN
HAD A GOOD YEAR

The annual meeting of the
Askov Cooperative Association
(the feed store) which was held
at the D. B. S. hall Tuesday
afternoon was quite we'll at
tended. Report Of the secretary
showed that the Association has
enjoyed a good and increasing
business during 1925 under the
/ able and conservative manage
ment of ]. P. Sorensen who has
held the reins for a number of
years. There was a greater vol
umn of business in 1925 than in
1924 and the profits were great
er. A refund dividend of 4a%
on all purchases by members was
declared.
Election of officers resulted in
the reelection of all old officers
with the exception of the vice
president, N. P. Nedegaard de-
clining the office.
The new officers are as fol-
lows: Jens Arnbal, president;
Chris Larsen, vice president;
Ludwig Madsen, secretary; Peter
Petersen, treasurer; Christian
Sorensen, director; 7. N. Thorn
sen and J. P. Frederiksen, revi-
sors. "-@ 49,
There was some talk of fair
next fall. J.. P. Frederiksen and
Geo. C. H. Jensen were appointed
committee to arrange with like
committees from other organiza-
lions for a fair.
After the meeting good
lunch was enjoyed which was
prepared by Mr.. and Mrs. V.
Heininge. ~.

RECORD .FLOCKS MADE
GOOD PROFITS IN 1925

Records faithfully kept of rs
flocks enrolled in the Poultry
Record Farmers Project show
that 1925 was a good year fo1
Minnesota poultry keepers.
The class in poultry raising at
the Farmers and Homemakers
Week Short Course at University
Farm was told by Cora Cooke OF
the agricultural extension service
that the average net return from
these flocks for the year was
$3.50 bird. In 1928 the re-
turn per bird averaged $1.68
while in 1924 it was $2.10.
Much of this gain is to be at
tributed, of course, to the higher
prices for eggs in 1925, but in
creased production also plays an
important part. The % flocks
averaged 1865 eggs per hen In
1925 as against 102 eggs in 1928
and 1902 in 1924. The highest
production in 1925 in any flock
was 1889 eggs per hen, which
is considerably higher than any
record made in this project in
former years.
1T is interesting to note" said
Miss Cooke, that of the ten
focks having the highest average
production in 1926, all of them
producing more than 140 eggs
per hen, seven were from the
northern part of the state"
About fifty co-operatives have
agreed to keep records in 1926.

ASKOV LOSES FIRST
GAME TO BRUNOITES

The local basket ball fans
turned out in fairly good number
for Askov's first game of the
season at the D. B. S. hall last.
Thursday evening when they
were opposed by the Bruno
quint. 1t was a nice clean game
all the way and Referee A. R.
Hyatt from Kerrick called only
few fouls.
The floor was quite slippery
and caused a number of slip-ups
for both sides, and probably
helped to keep the score down,
1t was quite evident that it was
Askov's first game of the season
for they were weak on guarding
several times. There was par
ticularly three times when Won
Schenk, playing with Bruno,
stood all alone right under their
basket with the ball in his hand
and had time to crack smile to
the audience before he tossed it
through the basket.
Both teams however played a
close game throughout, the score
by quarters being: First, 5 to 5;
second, Bruno IL, Askov s; third,
Bruno Is, Askov IA; finish, Bruno,
20, Askov Is. Askov gained four
of their points on fouls and
Bruno a similar number.
Those taking part on the Askov
team were: Ansgar Rodholm, C.
Manford Nelson, A. M. De Young,
Lawrence De Young, and Ha-
rold Sorensen; Anker M. ST.
monsen played the last half in
place of Harold Sorensen. The
score card dropped out of sight
after the game and the list of
the Bruno players is not available
at this writing, suffice to say that
Karl R. Won Schenk was in the
lineup and performed better
than at wrestling. ~
Many complaints were made
about the hall being too cold for
the<spectators and they were JUS
titled, but the hall manager says
that that was due to misunder-
standing and promises to have
comfortable heat there for the
next game.

WILL BUILD CHAPEL
AT FORT SMELLING
Funds for That Purpose to be
Raised Throughout the
State.

The American has been desig-
mated as representative in this
community Of the state commit
tee now raising funds to build a
chapel at Fort Smelling. T..
Civic and patriotic organiza-
tion S, business associations,
churches, and newspapers over
the state are joining forces
to raise a fund of 100000 to
build the chapel. Since the War
Department cannot appropriate
it's funds for chapel at the
Fort, committee of citizens led
by Governor Theodore Christian
son as chairman, has undertaken
to raise it by public subscription.
Believing that facilities should
be provided at the Fort for re-
ligious services, this paper is
glad to assist in the campaign.
Cash subscriptions and pledges
will be received at this office,
acknowledged, and forwarded to
the state committee in St. Paul.
1t is hoped that there is as
good a response from Pine
county as possible. Boys from
here frequently are among those
stationed at the Fort or among
those who train there each sum-
mer, and should have the same
facilities for religious worship
that they have at home.
eve have about 1,500 boys
stationed at the Fort regularly,
Captain Frank G. Rideout, chap
lain at the Fort, explained. In
the. summer, there are 5000 more
young men in training there.
We have no place for religious
worship but temporary frame
building that must serve also as
a hostess house, dance hall, and
library. There are 200 children
at the Fort, and they have no
place for Sunday school but a
dance hall.
Fort Smelling has contributed
immeasurably to the State of
Minnesota and the Northwest.
Never until now, has it asked for
one thing. Nor, would we do
so now, but citizens of the state
came to us and said it would be
a disgrace to build little one
room chapel and asked for a
chance to help. Accordingly,
we have made plans for an adj
equate chapel and undertaken
this campaign.
Besides the church proper, the
proposed building will include
quarters for a community center.

PAT HOVDE ON NEXT
WRESTLING GARD

The committee of the Ameri-
can Legion arranging for ath-
fetics is now busy getting out adj
vertising and making other ar
rangements for the next big
wrestling match which will be
staged at Askov on Friday eve
ming, Feb. 5th.
The headliner will be finish
match between |. M. Plumb of
Bruno, and Pat Hovde of Inter
national Falls, who is at present
staying In Minneapolis. Plumb
needs no introduction to local
mat fans as he has appeared here
several times and in his last
match was victor over the fast
Laastuen. Hovde weighs about
$50 pounds being 10 pounds
lighter than Plumb but accord
ing to advance information
makes up in speed and skill what
he may lack in weight. He is
heralded as real classy and ag-
gressive wrestler and a good con-
test is looked forward to.
The preliminary contest will
be between Aage Lunde and
Emery Nedegaard, two local mat
entertainers who are studying
all angles of the game. They are
a couple of husky lads and will
make it interesting.
The committee announces that
the preliminary contest will
start at 8:15 p. m. AS usual pop
ular prices will prevail.

MUST STOP BEFORE
CROSSING RAILROAD

Signs such as have been placed
on either side of the railroad
crossings in the village of Askov
Askov mean that all automobiles
must come to a full stop before
proceeding over the tracks
Cards sent out by the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission
warning auto drivers, contain
the following information:
Pursuant to Chapter 1856, Ses-
sion Laws of Minnesota for 1925,
C tain railroad crossings
throughout the state have been
designated Stop" crossings.
The crossings have been marked
by signs. A full stop by ALL au-
tomobiles is required at crossings
so marked D.. ~~
The law further provides that
the speed of all vehicles ap-
preaching any crossing shall be
reduced to such a rate that it
can be brought to full stop in
case of necessity before reaching
the nearest rail of the railroad
track and to cautiously proceed
over said crossing.
Vehicles carrying school chill
dren, explosives or inflammable
liquids or passengers for hire, or
any truck or vehicle having in
tow any other vehicle or equip
ment, or any vehicle of tractor
or caterpillar type shall be
brought to a complete stop be-
fore crossing the railroad tracks.
A penalty is provided for vio-
lation of the law and the regu-
lation hereunder.
The object of the law, of course,
is to protect the occupants of the
automobile as well as the travel
ing public in general.
If automobile drivers will CO.
operate in the observance and
enforcement. of this law and it's
regulations, death and injury
from grade crossing accidents
can be materially reduced in Min
nesota. Such a result is well
worth special effort on the part
of us all. May we count on your
cooperation?

AsKov PINE COUNTY MINNESOTA THURSDAY JANUARY

Amundsen said that he had for
long time been convinced That
DR.. Cooks claim to having
reached the North Pole was at
least as valid as that made by
Robert E. Perry and as a result
it looks as though that old North
Pole controversy will be reopened
in the press.
Went to Sweden.
The Danish liner, "Frederik
WIZ, plying between Copen-
hagen and New York, has now
been taken to the Gotta works in
Gothenburg for a general over
hauling; negotiations purposing
to keep the work in Denmark
apparently resulted in no agree
ment, for the best that the Dan
ish shipyards said they were able
to do, was to undertake the job
at a cost $4,000 Kroner higher
than that offered by the Swedish
yards.
Sentence COMMITTED.
Harold Berentsen, a Norwegian
sailor who recently was sentenced
to death by a court at Vancou-
yer, B. c., following conviction
of murder in the first degree,
has had his sentence committed
to prison for life. Berentsen is
incarcerated in the penitentiary
at Okalla. Among his compat-
riots there is a feeling that some
of the evidence upon which he
was convicted was faulty.
Another Prince Coming.
Prince Wilhelm, son of King
Gustav of Sweden, who was in
the United States in 1907, is
planning to make lecture tour
of the United States late in the
summer. The prince who has
considerable reputation as a
fiction writer, a naturalist and
playwright, will appear in
about forty American cities, and
intends to lecture on his exper-
fences as a big-game hunter and
photographer in Central Africa.
Pioneer Dead.
Magnus Anderson. the first
Scandinavian to settle in Skagit
county, Wash, died last week, 80
years old. He was born at
Frederikshald, Norway, in 1886,
was sailor for some years, and
after having served aboard one
of the American governments
transport vessels during the Civil
war he came in 1868 to Port
Townsend, Wash, later moving
to Seattle and Fort Blakeley.
He took homestead at North
Fork in 1869, and in later years
conducted a hotel at Fir, Wash.
They're Exempt.
The ministry of finance OF Den
mark has decided that Americans
who own real estate in Denmark
are to be exempted from tax reg
