AGRICULTURE rs ON
UP GRADE WALLACE

Following is brief review of
address given by Dan A. Wallace,
directing editor of The Farmer of
st. Paul, at the Sand Creek school
house recently, and written by ].
A. WYE:
Mr.. Wallace took for his sub
ject Agricultural Conditions
Past and Present, discussing the
following headings: Over-extend-
ed credit; spoiled by flush years;
element of time only salvation;
War Finance Corporation; Agri-
cultural Credit Corporation; bad
publicity; and broken morale.
The trouble with farming, he
said. is not new problem.
Then he considered the destruc-
ton of land values, Minnesota
and Iowa banks asserting that
North Dakota was left the best
off.
The problem of production, he
said,is that of efficiency, of distri-
button, that of cooperative mar
keting and merchandising.
He then considered transporta-
ton facilities, labor, legislation
and the tariff, taxation-town
and country.
There should be efficient or
CARNATIONS of neighborhOods,
communities and sections for
business action and for social i'm
provement.
Some of the other subjects dis
cussed were: Financing; legisla-
ton; trends in business; chang
ing our attitude of mind toward
things and farm problems-an old
story.
In detail he dwelt upon pro-
gress with live stock. family sized
farms, marginal farms, and mar
ginal farmers.
The failures in cooperation he
attributed to lack of enlightened
public opinion and inadequate
financing. ..s..
Teach the banker and farmer
as we'll the wise use of credit.
We have too many banks, he as
serted.
Mr.. Wallace does not believe
that legislation is the panacea for
farm ills but does believe that
the decks should be cleared of
measures and laws which prevent
the farmers from the free use of
all means for their good and the
development of self-helping agen-
cies. We should change our atti-
tude of belief toward farming.
We should believe in the North
west, in ourselves, and in farm
ing. In discussing the farm prob
lem he asserted that it is an, old
story. He went into the crises of
1893, 1907 and 1920, and gave as
his opinion that agriculture is
now on the upgrade and the
future will be what we make it.

FAR INTO ARROWLAND
LEGION WENT MAY 8
Two HarbOrs Buddies Organize A
Post At Grand Marais,
Cook County.
(Minnesota Legion News seryicel

(Minnesota Legion News Service)
From Duluth eastward to Can
ada, Minnesota has had but one
American Legion post, at Two
Harbors, Lake county. But on
May 9Th Adjutant Freeman of
Two Harbors led band of mis-
sionaries ninety miles farther
east, where at Grand Marais,
Cook county, another outpost of
united world war warriors was
established.
I'VE engaged the Grand Ma
rails opera house, brought good
speakers to tell of government
insurance, what the Legion
stands for, why every buddy
should belong" declares Adju-
tant Freeman. "Our Two Har-
bors orchestra went with us, and
we had good singers who put on
two-hour entertainment pro-
gram.
This year the boys at Grand
Marais had joined our Two Har-
bors post, but now they have
launched a post of their own and
we were glad to help them do it.
The citizens as well as the vet
Grams of Grand Marais enjoyed
our program and are strong for
the Legion. We left Two Harbors
at 400 pm. for the. 80 mile ride
to Grand Marais-the most Won
derful ride any Legionnaire can
contemplate" ..-..
And now there's another
Gopher Legion post-near the
tip of Arrowland!"

Editor Askov American:
Please insert the following in
your paper.
Ludwig Madsen! | wish to call
your attention to the following,
and wish that you will answer
the questions contained therein:
AS you very effectively dis
closed in last weeks American:
1.-THE. following day Chris. came
to me-" Yes, | did, believing we
could come to an understanding
While you found that | was stub
born | will say that you seemed
to be willing but unable to under
stand my view. We uneducated
people are, often what you call
stubborn. If we believe water
is wet we will stick to that idea
like a steel chip to a magnet,
and no arguing or proving can
convince us that we are wrong.
Probably | should have tried a
little more, but, like most men,
if | feel that | do not meet true
friendship and real understand
ing, l prefer to hear a grunt in
stead of listening to an eruption
of politeness. And inasmuch as
you had made your remarks in
public | like to settle the ques-
ton in public.
You stated that you had read
my article, did the setting of
same and even taken off some of
your working time to prepare
yourself for what you were say
ing, consequently you were fami-
liar with the nature of my state
ments and we'll aware of the re-
Elections your remarks would
throw on same. This was further
proved by your assurance that
you did not doubt my word.
Why did you lay so much
stress on the difference between
the arrangements in the schools
that you had attended and the
system that | had outlined?
Did you not say that you be-
lieved the system ruling in the
schools you had attended were
used over the whole country?
Why did you say that you
know nothing about such a sy-
stem as l had described, except
that someone had told you, that
such system had existed many
years ago? You know that you
and I are of about the same age,
and | stated plainly that | was
describing the system used when
and where | went to school.
You claim my remarks appear
ing in this paper two weeks ago
were insulting. They were not
meant to be so, but neither were
they intended to be compli-
mentary.

County Courier of May 9th re
ported the death as follows:

peter lessen, one of our we'll
known mail carriers, passed away
at the local hospital last evening at
about six o'clock.
"Mr. lessen was born in the old
country forty-six years ago next
September and came to this coun-
try when four years of age. He
remained with his parents and cared
for them until their death, coming
to this community in 1904. He
purchased a farm near Friesland
and worked there until nine years
ago when he began his work as rural
mail carrier
"He was of a rather retiring dis
position and did not make friends
easily, but greatly enjoyed fishing
and hunting and on these eXcur-
sions he made fast friends. The
news of his death was shock
to many as they did not know
that he had been dangerously ill.
HE is survived by four sisters:
Mrs. j. c. Hansen and Mrs. Peter
Weirup of this place, one in Iowa
and one in New York"

The. North Pole has been en-
circled again, this time and for
the first time with a flying ma
chine. An American by the
name of Byrd, performed the
feat. Just what good they per-
form in roaming around those
icy waters we do not, know, but
anyway they have our consent.
A shorter route between certain
points via the North Pole does
not look very feasible. With the
speed of travel nowadays it
would seem unnecessary to go
via the frigid North Pole in or
der to save a few miles and like
ly it is thing of the very dis
tant future.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-(R)-Under
the leadership Of prominent railroad
shares the stock market pushed ahead
to higher ground today, although it
was unsettled at the close by a severe
selling movement which reduced many
of the early gains. This attack di-
rected chiefly against the motors,
quickly undermined the position of
other industrials, but closing quota
tions revealed preponderance of ad-
vances for the day.
Reports that a further revision of
the Nickel Plate merger terms would
soon be agreed upon started lively
bidding for the Van Sweringen rail
issues, whose impressive showing over
shadowed substantial advances in some
of the other carriers. Attention was
focused on Chesapeake & Ohio, which
rallied more than 10 points to 175A
and closed at 172M. Nickel Plate
again crossed 200, Pere Marquette
climbed more than five points to 49,
and the Erie issues came back to life
with rallies Of point or more.
With the latest figures on car load
ings pointing to another month of
large earnings for the railroads, a
steady investment demand was main
tained for the high grade carrier
stocks. Delaware & Hudson was the
most spectacular feature, jumping 514
points to 173k, while Atchison, New
Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk
& Western closed 1 to S% points
higher.
10 to xD11i oh pT1f
over the market struck r d e S
against Mack Trucks, which tumbled
from above 100 to 95, the lowest price
since 1924. U s. Steel, General Motors
and other leaders which, had made
substantial progress earlier in the day
also yielded to selling pressure, but
maintained a portion of their gains.
Meanwhile, liquidation of minor spe-
cialties which had been goining on
without any effect on the rest of the
market increased in volume, carrying
score of issues to the lowest points
of the year. Among these were Elec-
trio Refrigeration, National Coax and
Suit, Manhattan Electrical Supply and
most of the fertilizer stocks, including
American Agricultural, international
dIIu 1IS llIld CdAO1And
Chemical issues Earlier the combina-
tion of short covering and renewed
outside buying lifted number of rep
1aesentative industrials two to- six
points. These included U. S. Cast Iron
Pipe, Dupona, Coca Cola, Allied Chemi-
cal, United Cigar Stores and U. S. In

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-(P))-With ex-
port sales of North American wheat
estimated as high as 100000 bushels,
active buying of future deliveries car
ried wheat values today arpIy
higher. Late advices told of frost in
Argentina. Wheat closed strong, to
25s cents net higher, corn unchanged
to Il cent up, oats at 1s@N cent to %
cent advance, and provisions varying
from the same as yesterdays finish to
rise of 40 cents. Eastern interests
were credited with buying wheat all
the way up to the days top price level,
which was reached just at the close.
1t was a subject of much comment
that the broadening out of export busi-
ness came in spite of another big ad-
vance in ocean freight rates, making a
jump of 100 per cent compared with
recent charges for vessel space to carry
wheat to Europe. Word that the po-
tato crop of central Europe is of less
volume than last year and will increase
demand for bread was also given spe-
cial notice.
Frosts in Argentina were not consid-
cred particularly serious, but they add
ed zest to the late buying in the wheat
pit, inasmuch as earlier the bears had
put considerable stress on reports
pointing to continued excellent crop
conditions south of the equator, Aus
tralia and Argentina in particular
Talk of probable early settlement of
the British coal strike was heard in
some quarters and was put forward as
reason for the ENLARGED export buv-
ing. 1t is the necessity of moving coal
abroad which has chiefly made boats
scarce, and ocean freights very high
for grain. Corn trading was sluggish
and lower most of the day, but rallied
at the last with wheat. Oats were
strengthened by reports that the North
American production of oats and world
yields as well are notably less than
last year Most deliveries of provis-
ions scored a material advance in
price, selling apparently having been

quences not being fully allowed for.
