reform of Senate parliamentary
rule will now fall flat. The
successful use of cloture limiting
debate is said to have proven
that Senators can suppress their
laxative associates. 1t is quite
likely that the Senate may adopt
the cloture again on the tax bill
lin order to insure its enactment
before March Is. Those going
before the people for reelection
feel that the internal revenue
law should be changed to become
effective when the first payment
is due in March. There are
some senators who may prolong
the debate on surtax rates. The
Senate and House conferees will
also take up some time in an at
tempt to reconcile the two reven-
ue measures.
The Bureau of Internal Reven-
ue has issued an analysis of col
lectlons on account of enforce
ment of the prohibition and mar
cotic laws. Comparison for 1924
and 1925 shows little change in
the amount of tax penalties, etc.
The Public Printer has not
endeared himself to certain
members of Congress by his ex-
pose this week of the high cost
of authorship. This govern
ment official, who is somewhat
removed from congressional pres
sure, declares that alterations of
printed proofs have caused much
unnecessary expense and need
less trouble to the Printing Of
flee. The cost of authors al
terations for the year 1925
amounted to 1920, 1927, an increase
of approximately $4,000 over
the previous year. A large por-
ton >of this expense is due to
members of Congress using poor
grammar in their speeches and
substitution of "after-thoughts"
Just as though they were made on
the floor of the House. There
is another group of writer's, es-
pecially technical men, who cam
not make up their minds defin-
itely and consequently change
their manuscripts, frequently.

PLUMB WILL HAVE. ~
HARD TUSSLE FRIDAY

Followers of the wrestling
game in these parts are wonder
ing if l. M. Plumb, Pine county's,
wrestling star, will be able to,
pin the shoulders of Pat Hovde
of International Falls, to the mat:
when they meet at the D. B. S.
hall, Askov, tomorrow, (Friday)
evening. Hovde who says he is
a Norwegian herring choker, is
a real stocky and very fast man
on the mat. He will undoubtedly
give Plumb a real test and may
be returned winner.
Plumb has a large following
who will be out to cheer him
on to victory, and again, all the
fans will be out to see a real
good match where the best man
wins. The question uppermost
in the minds of local mat fans
is: Will Plumb be able to do to
Hovde what he did to- Crosby
and Laastuen? Time will tell
Won Schenk will not entertain
tomorrow night but those who
attend will be treated to pre-
liminary contest full of action
between, Aage Lunde and Emery
Nedegaard, two husky Askov
lads. The preliminary is sche-
duled to start at 8:15.
( The show as usual is staged
under auspices of the American
Legion.

BY w. f. HAMMARGREN
County Agent.

The Markville Cooperative
Creamery held their first annual
meeting on Saturday, Jan. so, at
Markville. The reports of the
board of directors and building
committee were read and ap-
proved and showed that they
have made considerable progress
towards the completion of good
cooperative creamery there. -
The Commercial Club of Mark
vile served a very fine dinner
to all those present. The COM
mittee reports that they served
one hundred and sixty dinners
from IL o'clock until las.
George Wallick of Hinckley,
Art Rentz of Hinckley, and
County Agent Hammargren were
present and helped with the pro-

The board of directors have
hired Al Kimlinger of Roscoe,
Stearns county, as buttermaker
and the creamery will be ready
for operation in early spring.
Much credit must be given to
the board of directors for the
work that they have done so
far. The outlook is good for a
very successful cooperative
creamery for eastern Pine coun.

ASKOV CREAMERY
HAS HAD GOOD YEAR
Patrons Paid S157, 1861 for But
terfat in 1925 Enjoying
Steady Increase.

A general air of satisfaction
and contentment prevailed at the
annual meeting of the Askov
Creamery Association which was
held at the D. B. S. hall Tuesday
afternoon. While the total out
put of the creamery in 1925 was
not so much larger than in 1924
owing to the drought last spring
resulting in little green pasture
for the cows, the business never
theless showed increase and it
was the best year on record since
the creamery was organized back
in 1911.
In 1925 the creamery manufac-
tured $4,000 pounds of butter as
compared with 389,618 in 1924.
Patrons were paid S157, 1861 for
butterfat in 1925 and $144, 703.54
in 1924; average price paid for
butterfat was 1880 and 44.54c
respectively; manufacturing costs
per pound of butter were 2.45c
and 2.43c.
After the regular order of bust
ness Ludwig Mosbek gave a
short talk, reviewing early
history of the creamery, express
sing satisfaction with the pro-
gress made and gave his opinion
of what a. good creamery means
to a community, stating that ~this
creamery is the backbone of the
community. .., @

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS

The editorial under the above
caption was written by Gunnar
B. Bjornson and has. Just been
published in his Minneota Mas
GOT. Mr.. Bjornson, from whose
pen flows editorials that could
we'll Craze the pages of national
magazines, is the man who will
speak in Askov on Friday even
ing, Feb. 26, before the Parent
Teachers Association. His ar
ticle follows: <
A certain poet has said that
the wisdom of the seers is but
as the foam on the sea shore
and that the most learned ply
stefan can not revive faded
flower.
That is pessimism, says the OPP
timist.
The foam is white and pure
and pretty, says the optimist,
and if one flower fades, you need
but face about to find another.
The opti1hist walks in the sun
shine-the pessimist seeks the
shadow.
We all like the optimist. His
smile charms us. We want to be
in his company because he makes
us forget our troubles. He lis
like the sunshine that breaks
through the clouds and brightens
the landscape and cheers all
things with love and light.
AS the child claps it's hands at
the sight of the bright new toy,
so we welcome the advent of the
optimist.
He makes us laugh and we feel
better because be has passed our
way.
It is different with the pessi-
mist. He does not only seek
the shadow, the shadow seems
to follow him.
He sees the dark side of things.
The gloomy and the dreary find
in him an interpreter and the
message of depression speaks
through him.
He is not welcome at the
festive board, nor is he sought
out as a companion by the sons
and daughters of man.
To some it is given to be OPP

timists-others are destined to
play the role of the black raven.
There is light and there is
darkness in nature-and in man.
There must be the positive and
the negative, the good and the
bad, the gay and the sorrowful.
Such is nature and such is life.
Each serves it's purpose. Even
the pessimist has his mission.
Who would know what sun
shine is if ever and anon the
sun were visible? Would there
be any joy if there were no sor-
row?
Idle speculation? Probably so,
but the truth, nevertheless.
The optimist and the pessimist
are twin brothers and both have
their mission to- perform. /.
The man who sees the dangers,
the pitfalls, the shams and the
sordidness is no less seer than
the one who fastens his gaze
upon the silver lining. And the
black-feathered bird scars sky
ward quite as naturally as, his
white-covered companion.
Those whose eyes are accus-
toned to the dark can see in it
visions no less important than
those seen by the ones who move.
in light alone.
From out the dark recesses of
the earth come riches not to be
found elsewhere.
Most people do not like a story
that does not end well. We all
have an Unborn desire for happi-
ness. We want things to be
pleasing. Our love for the
bright and cheerful ever exerts-
itself.
But the law of life is law
of contrasts. There are days of
sunshine and then there are
days that are dark and dreary.'
We like to believe that there
is more of sunshine than shadow
and the optimist comes and as
sures US that such is the, case.
But much of the time he lives
in world of make believe.
