In renewing his subscription to the
American, H. Voetmann of Balsam
Lake, Wis, writes that he and his
family are all doing we'll and they
send greetings to Askov friends.
DR.. and Mrs. H. E. Levin enjoyed
an auto trip to Duluth on Armistice
day. They said that Moose Lake was
the town that had the most liberal
display of the national colors on the
holiday.
Under auspices of the North Star
Farmers Club Mr. and Mrs. Emil
Christensen were guests of honor at
a party Sunday evening in the clubs
hall, north of town. About fifty
guests were on hand to partake of the
fine lunch served on neatly decorated
tables. N. C. Petersen bid the new
lyweds as we'll as the others a hearty
welcome in an appropriate manner.
Clearing away the tables they played
games and finished up with dancing.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Ravnholt left
Friday for Dagmar, Mont, to join
their son, Thorkild, and make that
their future home. Thorkild has spent
the past summer in Montana and
likes it we'll out there. He has not
yet bought any property but will
likely buy after his folks get there.
The Ravnholts have spent the past
year here, renting the ]. P. Miller
place, north of town, since they re-
turned to the States from Canada,
where they had been for nearly ten
years. Previous to that they also
lived at Askov. They have the good
wishes of friends in their new home.
w. M. Plaisted from up Bruno way,
was a caller in Askov Monday. Mr..
Plaisted and his good wife, like many
other sturdy farmer folks, are fur
nishing much of the younger and
aggressive blood for the larger cities.
They have three daughters in Duluth,
Mrs. Ted Doboszenski, Mrs. Glenn
Gault, and Miss Glee Plaisted. They
with the husbands of the two former
and their children spent Sunday at
the parental home. Mr.. and Mrs.
Earl DeMaris and Grant DeMaris,
who also reside in Duluth, spent Sun
day with relatives and friends in this
vicinity and were also guests at the
Plaisted home Sunday.

CLUB SECURES GOOD
READING FOR WINTER

A book club of twelve members has
been organized in Askov and the
books are already in use. Members
of the organization are Bodil Fenger,
Corrah Iversen, Hans Mosbak, Mr..
and Mrs. G. M. Nelson, Mrs. H. Peter
sen, Myrtle Gammelgaard, Valborg
Justesen, Ida Miller, Ellen and Alva
Sorensen, Mrs. Albert Johnson, and
Viggo Justesen.
The object of the club is to get
a number of the best modern books to
read and by forming the club it has
been possible to do this at a much
lesser cost than would otherwise be
necessary were the individuals to buy
the books for themselves. Through a
new Midwestern magazine, ''The Book
Marker, the arrangements for the
club were made, the "Bookmarker'
furnishing everything that was neces-
sary for starting a club, except mem
bers and the cash.
With each member having a book
in his possession for two weeks it was
thought best to limit the number of
members to twelve since that would
complete a winters reading.
There are still several persons who
are interested in good books and they
will probably start another club, and
it is thought some arrangements will
be made whereby the clubs might ex-
change books. Anyone wanting infor-
nation on how to start a club can
get a Book Marker" from V. Juste-
sen.
Among the books that were pur-
chased for this club were such highly
recommended works as T. E. Law
rence's Revolt in the DESERT;
Grader Horn, the outstanding au-
photography of the year: "Porgy", a
Negro story that is causing a lot of
appreciation by it's stage presentation
in New York at present, as well as
books by some of the following we'll
known writer's: Villa Gather, Ivan
Turgeniev, Thomas Hardy, and Ruth
SuckOW.

The new Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayer play
biggest baseball story in the history
of the screen, and now playing at the
Liberty Theatre, is unique. In the
first place, the director. Edward Sedg-
wick, filmed the World Series, took its
crucial plays and woYe them into a
dramatic background for his story.
Thousands of yelling fans in grand
stands; the nations two foremost
teams at death grips-this is the be-
ginning or postulate of the picture.
In this is woven an intimate story
of American baseball; the story of II
young "busher" who learns to pitch,
makes the big team, becomes star,
gets the "swelled head" thereby-and
then learns the greatest lesson of life.
1t is just life itself-told amid the
surge and thunder of the great Ameri-
can game.

More than one hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance has been writ ten during the past twenty-four hours covering property in Boston and its suburbs. The Insurance firms say this coverage is the direct result of fear from a seemingly universal bomb explosion and Sac co sympathizers strike here. Out side of oston a sympathy strike has been called in such widely separ- ated places that no estimate can be placed upon the number of the workers involved.

Skagway is the natural port for big section Of British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. I think the solution to the difficulty would be in interna- tionaiizing the narrow strip from Skagway through the White Pass to Whitehorse. This leave should be granted British Columbia or some big public company condi- tionally upon their agreement to maintain the improvements of the port of Skagway and to spend . certain amount of money opening up lines of communication"

After Harding's election, the pro blem of the Philippines presented itself again for solution, and it was to General Wood that the pres ident turned for help. In the mean time. however. the ofacer had been honored in striking fashion when the trustees of the University of Pennsylvania offered him the post of Provost of that institution and he decided to accept. His decision meant either he must resign from the army or defer his acceptance until he was eligible for retirement and after much deliberation he de- cidd upon the latter course.
 This meant delay of several months, and during the interval he was inducted, with the aequfes- cence of the university authorities. to accept the post of Governor Gen of the Philippines for one year. General Wood found much to do ID the lSIAuObs HO"CvcAS anu aA nounced shortly after his arrival their that his work could not be completed before the beginning of 1923 at the earliest. Again the indulgence of the university ofi- cials was sought and a further extension of his leave from the school was granted, extending un- til such time as his insular duties could be concluded.
 As an author, General Wood has produced several books bearing up- on the army, among them being "The Military Obligation of Git izenship". Universal Military train ing". and "Our Military History: It's facts and Fallacfes". Throug- out the 35 years of his military career he received the honorary degree of LID. from Harvard, Williams, University of Penn.. Un- iversity of Georgia, University of the South, University of Michigan, Union College, George Washington. and Wesleyan Universities.

W ulie ms LTleuuS were SAeItihS all the pressure at their command to have the services of General Wood utilized in France. he was called upon to undergo an army medical examination which. despite his 5s years, he passed successful ly.
 He was then ordered back to Camp Funston. and when orders arrived that moved his division to the East Coast for embarkation, General Wood himself was directed by Secretary of War Gaker to pro- ceed to Washington, where he was informed that he was not to com mand the Division when it went overseas.
 While Wood paTtisans in Wash ington and throughout the coun- try were making the claim that he was being unfairly treated, the Gen. eral was given permission by the War Department to lay his case be- fore President Wilson. Just what occurred during this visit to the White House has never been dis closed, but it was generally under stood at the time that the officer merely made the President fur ther pledge of loyalty in whatever pos, he might be called upon to fill. At his request. however, the orders were changed to permit his return to Camp Funston for the purpose of organizing new Div ision, and his application for over seas service was placed Fin the hands of the Chief of Staff"
 No formal explanation of the en- tire incident ev has zen sued, although it was stated authoritativ- ely that the senior major general . of the army was not sent to France because general Pershing had not sisnfied that he desired him as one of the division commanders of the A. E. F. This explanation was not satisfactory to many of those hos- tile to the Wilson administration. and the charge was freely made that Wood had been sidetracked be- cause he had aspirations to be- come Republican presidential candidate at the next election. The administration, however, repeated ly denied that political considera- foR. en. and pointed out that Major General Scott. former Chief of Staff, and others of the older mai or generals had been held in the United States for various reasons. therefore the case of General Wood was no exception.
 When the Armistice was signed and the task of demobilizing the huge army was under way. the country began turning it's atten- tion to the nationwide primary campaign that was to supply pres idential candidates for the next general election.
 Many political booms were all ready stirring while General Wood was still active in demobilization work but when he decided to seek the Republican nomination he re- ceived immediate permission from Secretary Baker to lay aside his army duties and devote all of his time to the campaign.
 When the Republican Nhtional Convention assembled at Chicago and began voting on the long list !. of candidates before it, the trend showed that General Wood had a tremendous following throughout the country. and it was not until the convention-long .dead-locked over the contending candidates decided to turn to Senator Harding in the emergency that the possi- bility vanished for the nomination of the dbctor-soldier-statesman.
