sible attend the future meetings. The
clerk was instructed to send out writ
ten invitations to the members for
the installation exercises to be held
some time this month.
The New Years dance given by the

Lindos Olgesult, Blekinga, Sweden, on
Aug. z, 1852. She was married in
her native country to Hogan Hoganson

Mrs Hoganson had gone to visit an
other daughter, Mrs. Chas. Lndstrom,
in the same neighborhood, and while

her earthly cares from the Great
Beyond, the Land of Peace, to which
she has gone.

That dopey old wash-rag, that ropey

Each morning, my mother, with eyes
full of fire,
Would seize this old wash-rag and me
she would beck;
She'd grab my off ear, or the one
that stood nigh her,
And while l would struggle, she'd
Scour my neck.
Shed drill from the first ear right

on the Sandstone road, and plans on
moving onto same in March. Mr..
Dietz has been renting the Mrs. MAIDS
Nielsen farm for some time past.
A box of clothing will be packed
and shipped from Askov on Monday,
Jan. 10, to Karen Jeppe, Aleppo, Syria,
who is doing Near East relief work.
Anyone having articles of clothing to

they wish to give, will please bring
them to Mrs. A. Henriksen on or be-
fore that date.
The Ford district road man was in
Askov last week and made prelim-
mary arrangements with the local
dealers for an excursion to the Ford
plant in st. Paul. A definite date has
not yet been set, but it will likely be
the latter part of January. The ex-
cursion from Askov will be together
with folks from the Sandstone and
Kerrick communities, and is being
arranged jointly by the Ford dealers
in those three villages.
Peter Nielsen who spent Christmas
here at the Hans Clausen home to-
gether with Thorvald Clausen and
Evald Sorensen left Tuesday for Min
neapolis. Peter Nielsen and Thor
valid Clausen had been doing ditching
in the southern part of the state and
may secure more work there or in
the Minneapolis neighborhood. Evald
Sorensen will likely also work with
them. His health has not been good
of late and he is going to try outside
work and seek medical attention in
the Mill City.
The masquerade given Friday at
the d. B. S. hall under auspices of
the local Rebekah lodge was as usual
very well attended. Mrs. Emma Lund
of Bruno, won the prize as the
most comically dressed person and
the Misses Anna Paulsen and Mar
garet Schroeder were winners as the
best dressed. Lund's orchestra from
Bruno, furnished the music and the
faShof v ifCIy oCOIC dlSO ucIuOu-
strated the value of the New Ortho-
phonic Victrola in furnishing dance
music. Many of the dancers were
questioned as to which they liked
best and all seemed thoroughly sat
isfied with both kinds. The Victrola
has plenty of volume and could easily
be heard all over the hall even though
there was big crowd. The Rebekahs
came out nicely on the affair having
a profit of something over $35.
Fired johnson was reelected chair
man at the meeting of members of

Mr.. johnson has served two terms

this third term he will have had the

most the entire vote on the first bal
lot. The treasurer's report showed
the local church to be in good stand
ing. There was some discussion
about inviting some outside instruc-
tors to come here and take part in the
Young Peoples school work this win
ter. 1t was suggested that the con-
gregation secure one man for week
and that the Young Peoples society
arrange for another instructor, also
for week. The officers of the con-
gregation were also asked to look up
a physician for the community.

have been held to ricue when they haven't deserved
it. The people of Minneapolis know better but still thew

with dishonesty and those who know of the work he has

The police department. if it functions as efficiently
the remainder of the year. will establish another record
for keeping down crime. Very little crime has been
mitted in Minneapolis to date. True, there have been
hodups but the records show that since the first of the
year about 60 hodup have been arrested and
tcally every of them have confessed to
stickups The surprising part of the for

Making Criminals

The Journal. a few days
ago, editorials lengthily anent
our criminal laws and suggests
that the Baumes law is quite
the thing, doncherno.
But the Journal deftly for
gets that criminals CAUGHT
are few while criminals MADE
are plenty. The Journal and
the Tribune, both create more
criminals than are punished
and they do it with the use Of
the same tactics they are en-
ploying today:
By towering up" FACTS;
by distorting the TRUTH; by
withholding names; by DELHI
crate falsehood.
Take the Shapiro case as an
example:
Both these publications
knew that the assault upon
Shapiro had been committed,
they knew his business had
been temporarily ruined, that
gangsters had assaulted other
men engaged in the same bust
ness as Mr.. Shapiro, and yet
they made no demand that
these outrages cease. Instead
they groveled at the feet of a
weakling police chief and lied
like Hessians of the purity"
of our city.
When gunner tried to muir
der Howard A. Guilford, the
Tribune let out one faint edi-
torial yelp and then sunk back
into a silence that could be
stirred with a stick, while the
Journal shadow boxed and
skipped the rope with a jour
nalistic dexterity marvellous to
behold. But it said nothing.

turned an indictment against
