SCHOOL FACULTYGIVES
GOOD ENTERTAINMENT

A somewhat smaller audience than
usual assembled at the school house
last Friday evening for the final par
ent-teachers meeting of the year. At
the hour of eight the president, Mrs.
Albert Johnson, invited the assembly
to the Home Economics room where
the program by the teachers would be
presented. The program consisted of
presentation of "The District Skule
of Fifty Years Ago.. Miss Petersen
was a very good exemplification of
the olden time school master who
taught by the rule of three. Miss
Melin and Miss Rorvig constituted the
school committee that calls annually
to inspect the school and each men,
Der delivered speech and asked the
children some questions. Miss Yngve
represented the fond mother of May
flower descent who was much in
terested in the school, especially in
the schOOlmaster. The remaining
teachers were the pupils. The var
ious parts were very well presented
and many humorous, yet serious stu
ations arose; the whole matter was
cleverly done; several striking "take-
offs" were given. The program was
well rendered, we'll received, and
greatly enjoyed.
At the business meeting it was de-
cided to have a school picnic on the
last day, and the president was en-
powered to appoint a committee to
arrange details.

ELECTRICITY TRANSFORMS A
NATION
Industrial News Bureau.)

(lnQuSIrldl news Buredu.)
Many who think of Our Country as
a great nation industrially, think only
of industries in the large cities. But
the industrial output of country towns
and small cities is gradually surpass-
ing in volume the output of the great
metrOpOlises.
Just as country towns and smaller
cities hold preponderance of newspa-
per circulation in the nation, so the
thousands of smaller industries hold
the preponderance of payrolls and
general production, except in a few
highly specialized industries.
This remarkable rural growth has
taken place largely within the last 25
years, and would have been impos-
sible without the far-reaching bene-
fits derived from electrical develop
mentS. ..-.. .--:
Large power plants and intercon-
nected systems which deliver power
at practically any roint, have enabled
industries to move from crowded cen.
tiers to smaller towns, ana even into
the country.
Better living aud labor conditions
have resulted. ..-..
Electricity has giJen every hamlet
ligI.t and modern entertainment, while
the telephone and automobile have
made neighbors out of the whole
nation. Radio, the youngest child Of
electricity, has brought the rural dis
tricts into immediate and constant
communication with the metropolitan
centerS. - -. 90. .--,s--- -, .-. -
Is it any wonder the country towns
and smaller cities grow, when they
have virtually all the advantages ant
conveniences enjoyed in the Largest
cities, without the disadvantages?
Electricity is the reason for oul
marvellous rural and smaller city
transformation. a

PROTECTING INVESTMENTS
ABROAD
Mr.. Coolidge Enunciates a Dangerous
Doctrine and Banker Vanderbilt
Sounds a Timely Warming.
(Labor)

Two recent utterances of prominent
men need to be taken together to get
their full meaning. The first is a
statement made by President Coolidge
in his address to the United Press.
Speaking of the foreign policies of
the United States, he said:
'The person and property of a citi-
zen are a part of the general domain
of the nation, even when abroad"
This is a most remarkable utter
ance. That the nation is interested
in the welfare of it's citizens abroad
is taken for granted. But domain"
means something over which we have
dominion, something which we rule;
and it must be assumed that President
Coolidge used the word which meant
what he wanted to say. If he did,
then every foreign investment is a
piece of transplanted sovereignty,
which the nation may be called on
at any moment to protect, even at the
cost Of war.
The matter is made more serious
by conditions summed up by Frank
A. Vander1fp in an interview a short
time ago. Mr.. Vanderlip says that
Americans have loaned and invested
abroad thirteen billion dOllarS-3O per
cent more than all the sums advanced
to our allies during the war. Nearly
all of this vast sum has been sent
abroad since the armistice.
Mr.. Vanderlip thinks our financiers
are sending money abroad at a reck-
less rate, and the probabilities are
that he is right. There has not been
time since the war to gather know
ledge and develop organizations which
would safeguard the distant invest,
ment of such gigantic amounts. II
may be pointed out, too, that the
French people before the war loaned
some $4,0O0,000,000 to Russia anG
Russian industries, from which not &
paper ruble is coming back to. France
today.
But much more important than the
chance of financial loss is the menace
to peace if President Coolidge's doc
trine of domain" is to be applied tt
the prodigious quantities of money
now loaned to or invested in foreign
lands.
Mr.. Vanderlip points out that al
ready we have taken over the ad
ministration of Haiti and Nicaragua

DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY
NEEDS ATTENTION NOW

Seven generations of the house fly
may be produced in warm, sunny
season in Minnesota, says DR.. w. A.
Riley of the state university. During
warm weather the egg stage lasts
about a day, the larval stage four or
five days, and the pupal stage about
a week. In three or four days more
the adult flies begin to deposit their
eggs for another generation. Studies
of the life history of this carrier of
the germs of disease and death have
shown that a single fly may be the
forerunner of two trillion flies in a
single season.
The fly problem is not what it

ASKOV SCHOOL COLUMN

The county spelling contest and
track meet was held in Pine City last
Saturday. Due to the Indictment
weather and slippery roads the rep
resentation was comparatively small.
Eighteen competed in the spelling con-
test; Ernest Madsen represented
Askov. The successful contestants
were Charlotte Anderson of District
No. 4, Rock Greek, in the oral, and
Theodore Busselmeier of Pine City,
in the written; these two will repre-
sent the county at the State Fair.
During the track meet in the after
noon "a events were run in which
Pine City won more firsts than any
other school. '.-,>'"
Last Thursday Miss Evelyn Berg
man, county club leader, met with the
club members at the school house.
Miss Bergman will devote her entire
time during the summer to club work.
The library will close next week,
so those having books out must have
such returned by May 9th. If you
have any book or books belonging to
the school, either from the library or
from the text book section, will you
return such at once? Look over your
book case to make sure you have none
belonging to the school. Do it now. =
Richard Christensen returned to
school Monday, after an absence of
little over two weeks, due to his ac-
cident with dynamite caps. -

Tuesday evening the Hinckley high

"New Brooms'', the school movie

laughter. "This may ruin my bus
mess but it may make my boy", said
Thomas Balls, ST., when he turned
over his business to his son, Thomas
Jr. The scene of the story is small
American town of the present day;
the story centers around an upstart
son just out of college who arrives
home with ideas of his own, how his
fathers flourishing business should
be run. The father attended to bus
mess affairs; the son attended to his
love affairs, then they reversed the
system. There are 156.7S2 young men
in America who think they can run
their fathers business better than the
old man can. At the end of the year
the son ruefully admits that he is not
a success and humbly accepts the Of
fered help of his father, who admits
that the boy has done one thing that
he had never been able to do-lowered
his income tax.
Not quite the usual sized audience
was present at the last parent-teach-
ers meeting for the year, held Friday
evening. Those present enjoyed very
much the amusing and clever pro-
| gram put on by the teachers.
