the danger of entangling alliances in
foreign affairs.
The new Canadian Minister had
hardly presented his credentials here
when he found himself confronted
with problem of the first-water.
The immigration restrictions have
aroused feeling throughout the Do
minion and may bring reaction un-
favorable to this country. The De-
partment of State is also lending it's
good offices in the negotiations with
the Labor Department which has
charge of immigration matters. The
.dissention between the neighboring
governments had origin in Detroit
where American workmen wanted
jobs given to Canadians who COM
muted daily from their homes to their
places of employment. Unless the
controversy is adjusted soon, it is ex-
pected that an economic battle and
will ensue.- The prohibition
enforcement and smuggling problem
is tied up with this, affair.
The convention of medical men here
this week brought to light an inter-
esting phase of prohibition politics.
The "wets' and the "drys" charged
each other with packing the meeting
of scientific men in order that their
particular opinions could be threshed
out. Of particular import was the
proposals of the doctors to combat the
pestilence that is expected to follow
the draining of the flooded areas in
Southern states. The physicians
agree that the Mississippi flood pre-
sents tremendous problem in public
health.
Despite the fact that many self
styled political leaders are claiming
clairoyant powers in regard to the
Presidential campaign of 1928, the
real chieftains are not losing any
sleep so early in the season. The
opposing tides of opinion have much
Is do with the charting of political
ambitions. Yet, when it is realized
that more than a year must elapse
before the party conventions, finality
in predictions must be taken with d
grain of salt.

ANNUAL TOUR ON
COST ACCOUNT ROUTE
Will be Held i'm the AskOv Com
munity Some Time in June
Definite Date Announced Later.
To Study Farm Costs.

"The annual tour on the Askov
farm accounts route will be held in
June this year, probably some time
after the middle of the month";" an
nounces F. H. Tomlinson, local route
man. due to the usual slight slack
ening up in work on the farms at
that time, we hope the largest pos
sible number of farmers will be able
to take a day off for the tour then,
continues Mr.. Tomlinson.
''The program of farm visits and
addresses for that occasion is about
ready to be announced. Two farms
on the route will be visited, where
the figures on cost of production and
gains for the various crops and clas-
ses of live stock will be presented and
discussed by Geo. Pond and A. T.
Hoverstad. At noon the beautiful
well kept Askov park will be the
scene of picnic dinner enjoyed by
|all those attending the tour. I'm
mediately following, two or three
practical and inspiring addresses will
be made to the assemblage in the
park by prominent authorities from
University Farm on dairying and gen.
eral farm topics.
THAT the results of accounts kept
on the Pine county farm accounts
route at Askov are of vital interest
to the whole Northwest is evidenced
through the sending by the big dailies
of the cities and the prominent farm
papers of the state, of their special
representatives to write front page
columns and feature articles about
the annual Askov, farm tour
Certainly no one who is interested
in a more efficient and profitable
practice of agriculture in the cut
over region can afford to miss this
eventful day. This tour is not only
for all the co-operators of the route
but for every farmer and his family
who are within driving distance OF
Askov. Be sure to bring your picnic
dinners along so that you will not
miss one event on the whole splen-
did program. Watch for the an

Washington, May 18.-Though the
Mississippi flood is justly regarded
as one of the greatest disasters in our
history, there are calloused individ-
uals insistent on emphasizing the pe-
litical features. With every avail
able agency endeavoring to check the
spread of the flood waters and pro-
noting humanitarian measures essen
tial to public welfare, certain organ
lied groups are planning to make po-
litical capital out of the aftermath,
that is, to take advantage of the
flood control legislation which will
be required.
The army engineers working might
and main to check the unruly river
waters, find themselves pitted against
local and regional politicians. If
these reports are true it is easy to
imagine the situation in October when
the Army's suggestion for relief meas
ures are formally submitted and then
reviewed by Congressional commit
tees. 1t is the old story of the politi-
cal "pork-barrel" or patronage which
has retarded the development of in
land waterways for decades The
soft-pedal is applied to conversations
along this line in official quarters,
but indignation sometimes overcomes
discretion and opinions crop out.
The Department of State and the
Commerce Department are keeping
tabs on the. Geneva economic confer
ence now in session. American OBJ
servers are present but under their in
structions they are restricted from
committing the Federal government
to any fixed policy. European intri-
que, which usually shows its hand at
council meetings, is feared because of

UNIFORM HIGHWAY
MARKERS IS AIM
Minnesota Yellow and Black Made
Standard for Caution Signs in
All States.

The Minnesota highway department,
with the highway departments of for
ty-seven other states, will this sum-
mer begin the task of changing it's
road signs to conform to the system
of markers recently adopted as stand
ard by the American Association of
State Highway officials. Minnesota,
however, will have fewer signs to
change than any other state, for most
of the trunk highway markers in use
in Minnesota are the same as those
now adopted as standard for the en-
tire nation.
The new signs will be divided into
two general classes. Black and yellow,
adopted in 1921 as the Minnesota
highway sign colors, will be made the
standard colors for all caution signs,
and these will also conform to the
sizes and shapes already in use in
Minnesota. Within a few months
these black and yellow signs will
warn motorists all over the United
States to watch out for some hazard
in, on, or near the road.
The second class consists of direc-
ton, information, and restriction
signs. These will be in black and
white, except that states may retain
their distinctive route number signs.
Minnesota will continue to use the
black and yellow star, Wisconsin the
triangle, North Dakota the Indian
head, Pennsylvania the keystone, ILL
nois and Iowa the state outline, and
so on.
Other direction, information, and
restriction signs such as "R", "L",
detour signs, junction signs, names of
cities, lakes, and rivers, mileage, load
limits, and the like, will be rectan-
gular, conforming generally to the
sizes and shapes in use in Minnesota.
The purpose of making this class of
signs black and white is to empha-
size that yellow and black signs call
for caution.
The caution signs are of four
shapes, each indicating a different
kind of hazard. These are:
Octagonal signs: Used at ar
highways, Odu OIOp
crossings and other places where
law requires full stop.
Diamond shape: Indicate
condition i'm the road in itself
calling for careful driving, such
as curves, sharp turns, steep hills,
= loose gravel, or soft shoulders.
Square signs: Indicate conditions
outside the road calling for eau
!. ton, such as a school, cross road,
side road, men working, and the
like.
Round signs: Placed 500 feet
from all railroad grade crossings
to give advance warning. These
are used whether stop is re-
quired or not. stop" signs, when
used, are placed 25 to so feet
from the track.
Changing the Minnesota signs which
do not conform to~the new standards
will be done gradually, as the old
signs require repainting or replacing.

The corner stone for the new Me-
thodist church was laid Sunday after
noon with appropriate exercises. The
main address for the occasion was
given by DR.. Heron of Minneapolis.
DR.. Heron spoke at length on the
work of the church and emphasized
the need for religious training and re-
ligious work in the future. Rev. H.
H. Parish, former pastor of the local
church, also gave an address. Sew
eral talks were given by laymen.
Mrs. w. P. Gottry gave the history
of the local church since its found
ing in 1888. This history in manu-
script form was then placed in the
stone, together with copies of the 10
cal papers, and several other appro-
pirate mementos. The stone was then
carefully. sealed and placed in posi-
tion. A group of children sang sew
eral selections and music was fur
nished by a male quartet consisting
of Lorille Boyle, Frank Gottry, De-
Witt Gottry, and Donald Spickler.
Work on the church is progressing
rapidly, the walls now being up some

Congress, was celebrated yesterday by
the Henry G.. Spengler Unit of the

The hope for peace through dis
armament is no new ideal, but has
never yet been rewarded by any GER
tainty of world peace, Rear Admiral
John Halligan, jr.. pointed out. in
emphasizing the necessity OF an ade-
quate Navy to protect foreign trade.
Practical means by which members
of the auxiliary may aid disabled
veterans were outlined by Capt. A. W.
Dunbar, assistant surgeon general OF
the Navy. Capt. Dunbar stressed the
importance of frequent personal visits
and said many of the men find
their physical conditions aggravated
through worry as to the welfare of
their families and that a real service
may be done these patients by look
ing after their families.
Aiding in finding suitable employ
ment for the veteran who is able to
leave the hospital is another means
of practical service, he said. and find
ing the right place for the right man

At least one sign of stability IN
Mexican-American rslations, for the
present at least. is seen here in the
fact that no official step has been
taken toward termination of the
smuggling treaty signed a year ago
by the two countries TO regulate the
TRANSFORMER shipment of arms, liquor
and other commodities.
The treaty became effective on
March 2s. 1926. and was for one year.
1t provided, however that it should
continue in force after the year eX-
pired, provided neither side asked for
cancellation. A 30-day notice from
either government would terminate it.
That lifting OF the arms embargo
has been among the various possibil-
tiles considered by the Washington

by officials, although they have re
fused to predict that it would be done.
Under the terms of the treaty, no.

Mexico would have to be given the
Mexican governments, even if the
